Chapter 964 The Folk Customs of Nagano Prefecture Are Simple and Honest

Nobushige was discussing with Haihara Ai to pick them up when the sound of a car engine came from the phone, and then someone spoke again:

"Are you in trouble? I can give you a ride~" The driver was a woman wearing a knitted hat. She said to Dr. A Li and Haibara Ai in a friendly manner, "You don't have any money, right?"

Dr. A Li quickly thanked you: "Thank you very much."

"It seems we don't need brother to pick us up." Hui Yuan Ai said in a low voice.

…

After Haibara Ai and Dr. A Li got into the good Samaritan's car, the vehicle immediately started and drove towards Tokyo.

At this time, Dr. Ali noticed the man wearing a hat and closing his eyes in the passenger seat, and asked a little strangely: "What's wrong with the gentleman next to you?"

"Ah, you are talking about him." The person responsible for driving was a young woman wearing sunglasses. She glanced at her companion and said, "He hardly slept last night, so he is sleeping very deeply now."

Dr. A Li nodded: "Oh, that's right."

This reason seems to make sense, but Dr. Ali's eyes still drift to that man frequently. After all, he seemed to have seen a very long scar on the man's face just now. How could an ordinary person be so seriously injured?

"It's a little bit rough, please bear with it." The woman reminded kindly.

"Ah, what?" Dr. Ali was confused.

“With other luggage in the back, it might be a bit crowded.”

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay." Dr. Ali was even more confused now. This woman spoke so strangely.

Haihara Ai looked at the rearview mirror and stared at the woman's sunglasses through the reflection of light: "I want to know more why you are so sure that we don't have any change and we need help."

"Because when I parked the car, I saw the coffee stains on grandpa's chest. There is a trace of no pollution in the middle, right?" Facing Haihara Ai's question, the woman seemed very calm, "I often drive, so I can see it at a glance. I saw that there were traces of seat belts. Apparently the old man was driving before and accidentally spilled coffee on his clothes. On the way we came over, we happened to see a tow truck towing a car that broke down halfway. Combined with what you clearly said before If you see the bus but don't take it, you can certainly tell what happened."

Hui Yuan Ai narrowed her eyes and said nothing, but her expression became much more serious.

There were weird things everywhere in this car, and she seemed to have smelled some danger.

As we approached Tokyo, the highway started to become congested. In severe cases, the cars simply stopped where they were, and many people came out to get some air.

The woman driving the car took this opportunity to ask: "By the way, I don't know where your home is yet. If you are on the way, I might be able to take you back directly."

"Mika Town 2-chome." Dr. Agasa immediately told his home address without much vigilance.

"Ah, Rice Flower Town." The woman murmured, "What a coincidence, we are also preparing to go to that place."

Hui Yuan Ai frowned.

The woman added: "We are going to the Mori Detective Agency at the 5th-chome of Yoneka Town."

"That's it. In fact, we are friends of Detective Maori... Ouch!" Dr. Ali was about to say something, but was knocked speechless by Haibara Ai's elbow.

"What's wrong?" the woman driving the car asked with concern.

"It's nothing." Haiyuan Ai replied calmly, "My grandpa seems to be sleepy, and so am I."

The woman raised her lips with a half-smile and said, "Then just sleep for a while. It might be time to wake up."

Seeing that Haihara Ai had closed her eyes, Dr. Ali lowered her voice and asked, "Xiao Ai, what's wrong?"

"These two people are very suspicious." Haiyuan Ai pretended to be sleeping and squinted his eyes to look at the surrounding environment, "Didn't you notice that there are small holes in the cup on the driver's seat and on the door here? Traces of them. I think they're probably bullet holes."

"Hiss..." Dr. Ali took a breath of air.

Little did they know that something even more terrifying was yet to come.

…

After learning that Ai Haibara and Dr. Agasa had hitched a ride with a kind person, Nobushige was originally going to return to the Mori Detective Agency. But then he thought, since he had already driven the car out, he might as well go to a nearby supermarket to buy something.

He had just finished buying daily necessities such as fruits and vegetables when he heard his cell phone ringing.

"Hello?" Nobushige answered his sister's call happily, "You have arrived in Tokyo? Do you need me to take you home?"

"We encountered a traffic jam when we came back, and we are still at the toll station from Yamanashi Prefecture to Tokyo." Haibara Ai secretly paid attention to the man and woman sitting with Dr. Agasa, and whispered, "I suspect that we Those two are from the organization, and their target is probably Edogawa, so I’m a little worried.”

"People from the organization?" Nobuhiro was slightly stunned, "It shouldn't be the inner circle members. I've seen all the inner circle members in Japan. They don't have time to care about a dead person now. As for the outer members, they shouldn't be you and A Li. The doctor’s opponent, right?”

Haihara Ai shook his head gently: "No, although I haven't felt the organization's unique aura of terror from them, that man gave me a heavy sense of oppression. He is definitely not an ordinary person."

Nobushige changed his route to the toll station as soon as he received Haibara Ai's call. At this time, he was still about ten minutes' drive from the toll station.

"Tell me their characteristics. It's best to take a photo and then try to hold them back." Xin Fan warned in detail.

Haiyuan Ai glanced in the direction of the two suspicious persons and wondered why: "I can't take pictures without alerting the snake. The woman is tall, has straight black hair, and is wearing a pair of sunglasses. She can't see Clear his face. The man has a strong build, but seems to have difficulty moving, and there is a long scar on his face."

Mobility problems, long scars?

As soon as these keywords entered the brain, they automatically matched a familiar figure.

Xin Fan was shocked: No way, no way, it couldn't really be him, could it?

Haibara Ai's next sentence completely confirmed Nobuhiro's judgment: "By the way, the terms they used when talking were also very strange. It was a bit crowded somewhere. If you want to get off, just fly back by yourself."

Nobuhiro: "..."

"Brother?" Haiyuan whined, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Nobuhiro sighed helplessly: "They are really two police officers with bad taste."

Haiyuan Ai was stunned: "Police officer?"

"The people who are kind enough to take you back to Tokyo should be Officer Yamato Kansuke from the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters, and his assistant Uehara Yuki." Nobushige's nervousness eased a little, and he drove onto the highway. There were very few vehicles on the road out of the city, so he would probably be able to reach the toll booth in no time.

"How do you know?" Hui Yuan Ai was confused again.
