Chapter 527: Rescued Strange Creatures
After eliminating his own problems in an instant.
Jiang Xia followed Amuro Toru's line of sight and looked forward.
Then suddenly I understood.
——Parked by the side of the road in front, there was a luxury car with signs of reinforcement and modification.
Standing next to the car was a burly man in a suit, who looked like a bodyguard or a driver.
This person just pushed the door and got out of the car. He hurriedly stood on the side of the road and waved to stop their car.
…
In the wilderness, Toru Amuro suddenly met a man in a black suit and became alert instinctively.
But soon he discovered that one of the car's tires was obviously deflated, as if it had been cut by something sharp - in short, it had a blowout.
Toru Amuro: "..."
I have seen many flat tires myself, but it is very rare to see someone else have a flat tire.
...How should I put it? Besides sympathy, I also felt a bit complicated. I even felt a little bit lucky and superior that I didn't have a flat tire... Well, this shouldn't be the case.
In the gap when Amuro Toru was gathering his thoughts.
The unlucky driver of the car in front wrapped his suit tightly and trotted over: "Excuse me, can you please take us to a place where there are people nearby? We have been turning on the air conditioner to keep warm after the tire burst, and the gas is running low, and help has not arrived yet..."
As someone who had also experienced a flat tire, Toru Amuro understood the driver's despair.
When the strange driver ran over just now, he examined the places on the other person's body where guns could be hidden, and found that the man did not seem to be carrying any weapons - at least that was the case from the front.
So he nodded and said, "Call the passengers in your car over. You said 'they' just now, there should be other people in that car."
The driver breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gratefully. Then he trotted back to his car, spoke a few words to the slightly opened window, and opened the door.
During this process, Amuro scanned the driver's back with his X-ray-like vision and found no traces of weapons hidden on his waist, legs, etc., which made him feel relieved.
Of course, Toru Amuro would not just leave a few citizens who might have frozen problems here and not care about them.
Fortunately, with Jiang Xia by his side, Bourbon could find a suitable excuse for all his good deeds. For example, unless he completely killed the person in the car in front, he would not help if he just passed by and watched someone die. This kind of behavior would damage Jiang Xia's positive image and would be detrimental to his continued entry into the upper class. And if he killed someone for such a small thing, it would not meet the organization's superficial requirement of keeping a low profile...
In short, just save them.
…
Half a minute later.
Toru Amuro looked at the person getting out of the car in front, was silent for a moment, and began to regret.
——After the driver ran back and opened the car door, two women got out of the car.
One of them had mature curly hair and looked like an adult.
The other is a little more childish.
Although both of them were wrapped in scarves, Toru Amuro quickly recognized the younger one from his hairstyle and body shape.
——Suzuki Sonoko.
...Another acquaintance from Jiangxia.
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro subconsciously looked at Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia was also staring at the newcomer. After recognizing Suzuki Sonoko, he seemed to be in a better mood and waved from the car window to greet his classmates.
The rear car door opened and closed, and three people got in the car wrapped in the cold wind.
…
Taking into account the need to carry luggage, equipment tires, and perhaps even corpses, although Toru Amuro still drove a Mazda this time, he did not choose the relatively cramped sports car he had before. Instead, he chose a model that was more suitable for long-distance travel, and three people could barely sit in the back.
Suzuki Sonoko was sitting right behind Jiang Xia.
She hugged the back of the passenger seat and sobbed, "Luckily I met you, otherwise I would have frozen to death in the mountains... I was so scared."
As Toru Amuro started the car, he glanced silently in her direction: Really? Can you please stop smiling so brightly when you say you are scared? Also, don't spit on his car pillowcase...
Although he had some complaints about Suzuki Sonoko's behavior in his heart, Toru Amuro finally said nothing and drove silently.
…
In addition to Suzuki Sonoko and her driver, another passenger was Suzuki Sonoko's sister, Suzuki Ayako, whom she had met several times before.
Jiang Xia remembered that she owned many villas where murders had occurred.
He looked at Suzuki Sonoko through the rearview mirror and spoke to her in a friendly manner, intending to comfort the sisters who seemed to be frightened. In addition, if possible, he would like to take advantage of their trip. In the short term, this seemed to be more promising than following the boss. "Why did you suddenly run to such a remote place?"
Suzuki Sonoko rubbed her arms to keep warm, squinted her eyes, and said romantically like reciting a poem: "Because fate led us to meet... Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we went out together. You've been very busy recently, so next time you go to Osaka, you must go together, it's a deal!"
Unlike her sister, Suzuki Ayako is a gentle and sensible adult.
Although Jiang Xia nodded happily at the invitation, Suzuki Ayako noticed the disdainful look of Amuro Toru next to her, so she reached out and touched Suzuki Sonoko's head, and at the same time used a little force to pull her sister back, pressing her back into her seat, away from the passenger seat's headrest.
Then he answered for her seriously, "In our newly opened museum, we plan to reserve a European medieval exhibition hall, part of which will display vampire-related exhibits. In this regard, Mr. Torakura Daisuke is a famous expert. He happens to be free recently, so we plan to visit him and seek cooperation."
...Of course, the main purpose is to go out and have fun.
Although Daisuke Torakura is not as wealthy as the Suzuki Group, as a rather proud novelist who is fanatical about vampire culture, he certainly would not lend out real treasures easily.
If you want to appreciate those precious collections face to face, you can only go to Daisuke Torakura’s residence, “Dracula Villa”, in person.
"Tokura..." Toru Amuro felt that this surname was too familiar, as if he had just heard of it recently.
Then he remembered: "Is it the famous couple of novelists?"
——A while ago, Jiang Xia received a commission from the killer "Silver Fox" to catch a killer, and a group of people went hiking. Among those who climbed the mountain that day, there was Etsuko Torakura.
Unlike her husband, she is better at writing mystery and assassination novels.
...Another acquaintance?
"That's right!" Suzuki Sonoko's attention was all on Jiang Xia and she didn't notice the complicated expression in Amuro Toru's eyes.
She secretly escaped from her sister's hand, climbed back onto the passenger seat, and began to explain seriously:
"The Torakura family was built on a spooky clifftop. It was said that his house was full of vampire-related things. In addition, most of his novels have vampires as the protagonists, so Torakura Daisuke gradually got the nickname 'Mr. Dracula'.
"His villa is also called 'Dracula's Villa'. Look, it can be seen from afar - that's the building with the pointed roof."
