Rebirth of Conan as a Detective - Chapter 1023

“call!”

In Kitanosawa Village at night, the snow flakes fell like goose feathers, getting bigger and bigger, and the lights of the snow field became foggy.

In the forest outside the snow field, a snowmobile darts to a halt.

“Brother Cioto,” Mitsuhiko looked at the snowmobile that was turned off again in front of him, and Gao Cheng, who was lying on the side, was studying, “Do you really know how to repair a car?”

Yuanta and Ayumi are also worried.

Because of too much fun, Gao Cheng rode the snowmobile out of the venue and into the woods, but when he planned to return, he seemed to have lost his way. To make matters worse, the car is still broken.

“Strange,” Gao Cheng got out of the car, watching the track under the car wipe his sweat, “It looks different from a motorcycle, I will try again.”

Mitsuhiko’s faces were completely pale.

For the first time, I felt that Gao Cheng was not very reliable.

“It’s miserable, I thought I would be fine with Brother Chengdo, what should I do now? I’ll be scolded again when I go back.” Bu Mei said worriedly.

“That’s not right,” Yuanta said in a daze, “We just came out with Brother Chenghu, who scolded us?”

Ayumi suddenly “Yes, Brother Joto is here…”

Mitsuhiko sighed and looked at the snow-covered forest around him in distress, “Just leave the rest alone, now the key is how to get back?”

Gao Cheng heard a few children murmur, coughing lightly, “The problem is not big, it should be that the engine was overheated just now, it will be fine after cooling down for a while.”

“But where’s the way back? And the headlights seem to be broken…”

“There is no way to return to the original road, but as long as you go down the slope, it should be a highway, and you can go back to the village directly from the road.”

“It’s illegal to ride on the road…” Mitsuhiko said weakly.

Gao Cheng felt that these little ghosts had loosened their trust in him, and he looked around carefully and said, “Don’t worry about that much at this time. There will be no cars on the road at night… In short, I will go back to the village and talk about this. Snow does not seem to stop easily.”

I don’t know how to explain it after I go back… When nothing happened?

After a while, the snowmobile engine finally returned to normal, only the headlights still did not respond. Gao Cheng had to use the faint light of the watch flashlight to carry Bu Mei back on the road, and drove straight down the ramp to the highway.

He was relieved to see Gao Cheng on the road.

The road around the village is not complicated, and you should be able to reach the village by following the road.

I have to go back quickly, it doesn’t matter what happened, if I miss the gathering of Muto’s people, I’m in trouble…

“Toot!”

A car drove up from the front, and the short-haired young driver noticed Gao Cheng and honked his horn in surprise.

“Isn’t this the ski bike in the village? Where are you going?”

“We are going back to the village.” Mitsuhiko replied.

“Back to the village? I’m going to the village now,” the young man looked around, “have you gone the other way? It’s very far from the village.”

“…”

The lobby of the mountain villa hotel.

Takagi and Uncle Maori had already contacted the Hikawa group first, and they were waiting for Muto to arrive.

“So you are Muto.” Gao Cheng looked at the young driver who led the way back unexpectedly.

“Yes,” the young driver nodded, “I built a hut on the side of Lake Sawajiri, where I usually carve owls and wood carvings. You are lucky. If it weren’t for me, Mizuki and the others had made an appointment here to meet, so late. You won’t run into me either.”

“Weird,” the young man with glasses Hikawa said in surprise, “How did you Detective Jodo meet together?”

“It’s a long story.”

Muto didn’t seem to want to talk to Hikawa, so he took off his coat and walked straight to the central sofa to sit down.

In addition to Hikawa and another young man named Yamao, sitting on the sofa together were two women. One of them was Tono Mizuki at the front desk, and the other was the clinic nurse Fuyumi Tachihara.

Hikawa didn’t care about Muto’s attitude, and stood up to meet Gao Chengdao. “Detective Jodo, let me introduce you. You have met Yamao and Muto. Then these two ladies are Tono Mizuki and Tachihara Fuyumi. We are all from the old Beizhize Village, and we are also elementary school classmates. This is also a reunion of elementary school classmates.”

“That’s how it is said,” Muto explained with his arms folded, “because the branch school in our village has only five of us in the entire grade.”

“There are only 5 people?” Yuanta and Conan leaned over.

“Yeah, that’s right,” Glacier sat down, “so after graduating from elementary school, the relationship is also very good, but as of today, we have not seen each other for 8 years.”

Conan is very sensitive to “8 years”. Hearing this, he asked, “I haven’t seen each other in these 8 years? Why?”

“It’s not because of this guy Yamao. Eight years ago, when he lived in Tokyo, he drove back to the old village where his grandmother lived alone. He killed a **** the road.”

Hikawa took out the news clippings in his notebook from his pocket. On it was a piece of news about Yamao’s accident and escape in Kitanosawa Village.

“That’s it. This guy was terrified at the time and left the girl’s body and fled back to the village. It took a few hours before he finally figured it out and ran to the police to surrender.”

Yamao’s face was particularly ugly the moment he saw the newspaper clippings. He turned his head and explained, “After all, the car crashed like that, I don’t think I can escape from crime.”

“Huh,” said Glacier, “At that time, he owed a gambling debt to the underground bank, and his life was messed up. The court sentenced him to speeding, drunk driving, hit-and-run, and he was also in the period of driver’s license suspension. Get up, finally regaining freedom this summer.”

“It turns out that’s the case,” Takagi sighed. “It turned out to be about two unfortunate car accidents on the same day that year.”

Another unfortunate Liyuan Dongma’s mother Liyuan Dongmei happened to be here, and it really caught up.

“It’s even more unfortunate,” the glacier continued, “the girl who died in the tail of the mountain turned out to be Mizuki’s 18-year-old sister, Xia Shu.”

The atmosphere at the scene fell into heavy, seeing that Takagi quickly changed the subject and asked, “Then, this time Yamao returns to the village…”

“Yes, when Yamao was serving his sentence, he just decided to build a reservoir. The entire village was also flooded by the reservoir, including the old house of the Yamao family, of course.”

Muto answered, seemingly complaining about the reservoir, while speaking, he looked at the glacier with dissatisfaction.

“Speaking of this, Glacier, when it was said that the reservoir was to be built, your family immediately raised their hands in favor, sold the replacement land at a high price, and moved to Tokyo without nostalgia. I really can’t forgive your family! It was you who instigated it in the first place. My parents? Do you know that you are betraying your precious hometown?!”

“Hey, Muto,” Hikawa smiled helplessly, “You must be more flexible in life. Who doesn’t like having a good life? Isn’t the village very good now?”

Uncle Maori looked at the few people who fell into silence, feeling the atmosphere very weird, and took the initiative to say, “Well, you guys talk slowly, we still don’t bother, and we will go back to the room first.”

“it is good.”

After returning to the guest room, Gao Cheng opened his laptop to search.

“Yamao Keisuke…”

The atmosphere between the few people was a bit stiff, and the reunion after 8 years seemed to be unsatisfactory, but none of this had anything to do with him~www.mtlnovel.com~.

It is worth noting the two incidents of that year.

What a coincidence.

The case that happened 8 years ago, plus the reunion 8 years later… If there is no accident, it should be related to this case.

“Kyoto,” Takagi said, “I asked. The incident of Tachihara Touma really seemed to be an accident. According to the police investigation, Lake Sawajiri is near the cliff. Tachihara Touma likes to see it. Swan, and when he found him, there was also a telescope around his neck, presumably it slipped off accidentally.”

“He’s going alone?” Gao Cheng turned his head.

“Yes, Tachihara Tomi was working at the hospital at the foot of the mountain. The emergency wounded was called in, and there was no one else in the house,” Takagi said, looking at the note in his hand. “He found Tachihara Touma that he usually loved very much. The puppy next door… The strange thing is that the time and location of the two incidents are very close…”

“That’s right,” Gao Cheng said with a look of thought. “There is absolutely any connection in the middle. Tomorrow we will go to Liyuan’s house to see.”
