Chapter 382
"Anyway, why did the organizers of this banquet invite you?" As can be seen from the text on the invitation, the people they invited are us detectives in addition to those with outstanding wisdom! You don't have anything in this..." Feeling the terrifying aura on his daughter, Maori Kogoro naturally changed the subject.
"Dad! What did you say? Brother Tang Zhen is also very smart, right? Xiaolan felt that Maori Kogoro's words were suspected of offending people, and she said to Tang Zhen embarrassedly, "I'm sorry Brother Tang
Zhen, dad has no other meaning in his words..." Tang Zhen glanced at Xiaolan speechlessly, he understood that Maori Kogoro had no other meaning in his words, but after Xiaolan's explanation, it became Maori Kogoro had other meanings, which made him not know what to say for a while.
"Actually, it's not me who received the invitation this time, it's the guy Shinichi, but because he hasn't been available, so let me come instead of him..." Tang Zhen said with a glance at Conan sitting next to him.
"This kind of thing, since he himself can't come, just resign, why do you want someone else to replace it?" If you can't complete the task in this way, it is easy to affect your credibility! Mori Kogoro asked with some incomprehension.
"It's mainly in that 2 million yuan check!"
"A check for $2 million?" Xiao Lan asked a little puzzled.
"That's right! In the invitation letter that Shinichi received this time, just like the invitation you received, there was a check for 2 million yuan, but if I wanted to return this thing, I couldn't find a place to return it..." Tang Zhen said to Xiaolan, "Xinyi accepted this money in order to be at ease, so let me go out... At that time, this 2 million yuan, we will divide it equally..."
"Is Shinichi very short of money now?" Xiaolan didn't pay attention to the rest, and noticed that Kudo Shinichi asked for money this time, knowing that he had never accepted money before accepting the commission, which made her a little worried about Kudo Shinichi's current situation.
"Shinichi, he is going to buy you a gift, but he has no money himself, and he is embarrassed to ask his parents for it, so he has to ask me for help!" Tang Zhen looked at Conan next to him and said with a smile.
"...", but Conan is staring at Tang Zhen dissatisfied, if it is not for the feeling that he can't beat him with his foot strength enhancement shoes, Conan will definitely not give up, Tang Zhen's bebustion in this wave makes Conan ready to surprise Xiaolan, and most of it goes at once.
"Yes, is that so?" Although she felt that Kudo Shinichi was going to give herself a gift, which made Xiaoran very happy, she still felt a little embarrassed from Tang Zhen's mouth.
"Hmph! Xiaolan, don't be deceived by that guy, if he really has you in his heart, why don't he come to see you when he comes back? Maori Kogoro, who was driving, said to his daughter who was a little unhappy.
"Brother Tang Zhen? Has Shinichi ever returned? Does he have anything to say to me? Xiaolan passed by Maori Kogoro, and reminded that she also thought of this question, and she asked Tang Zhen a little nervously.
"Brother Xinyi didn't come back to investigate the case, and the invitation was all about Brother Tang Zhen who called and told Brother Xin, and Brother Xinyi will let us keep it secret..." Before Tang Zhen could speak, Conan quickly said to Xiaolan.
"Conan, how do you know too?" Xiaolan asked strangely.
"When Brother Tang Zhen got the invitation, he happened to be playing at Brother Xinyi's house, and when they were calling, I was also next to me..." Conan hurriedly said cutely, "But Brother Xinyi said at that time that he wanted us to keep it secret, so that he could give Sister Xiaolan a surprise when the time came, but I didn't expect Brother Tang Zhen to keep his promises at all..."
In the midst of such small talk, the car left downtown Tokyo quickly at high speed.
As the journey progressed longer and longer, the scenery outside the window kept changing, and everyone was still looking at the scenery, but I don't know when they looked at it, except for Maori Kogoro who was driving, everyone fell asleep in the shaky gas car.
I don't know how long it took, just when Tang Zhen was confused, the high-speed car suddenly bumped, waking up Tang Zhen and Conan, who were sitting in the back.
"Ugh!" Conan yawned and opened his eyes in confusion, looking at the sky outside the window where only a trace of the sunset remained, he asked a little confused, "Uncle! How did it stop?
"Little shock! Take a look at the rear left tire? Maori Kogoro sighed and said to Tang Zhen, who was sitting behind.
"What's wrong with Daddy?" At this time, Xiaoran also woke up sleepily, and asked Maori Kogoro in a daze.
"Uncle Māori! The tire in the back is blowing! Tang Zhen lay on the side of the window and glanced at the tires below and said.
"Ah! Flat tire! Maori Kogoro said dejectedly, "Damn, it's bad luck! Maori
Kogoro got out of the car with a scolding grin, came to the trunk with a confused face, and then found out in frustration that there was no spare tire.
"What did the rental car company do?" Even a spare tire is not prepared? Maori Kogoro said very dissatisfied.
"Uncle Maori, there is a gas station in front, where it should be possible to change tires..." Tang Zhen also got out of the car at this time, and pointed to the front after looking at the tires that seemed to have been pierced by nails and other things.
"Haha! This really responds to that sentence, the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way, and there is another village! When Maori Kogoro saw the gas station in front of him, he suddenly seemed to forget all the unpleasantness, and said very optimistically.
"Xiaolan, don't you get out of the car to breathe?" After watching Maori Kogoro go to negotiate with the personnel at the gas station, Tang Zhen asked Xiaoran and Conan who were sitting in the car.
"Nope! I'm very sleepy now..." Xiaolan rejected Tang Zhen's proposal, while Conan was even more direct, and now he had slept.
Tang Zhen sighed, and had to lean on the fence on the side of the mountain road alone, enjoying the scenery that the afterglow of the setting sun dyed half of the sky.
As time passed, the sky became darker and darker, looking at the mountains with mountains, giving people the feeling of entering the primeval jungle, as the sky grew dark, there was no family here except this gas station, and there were few vehicles passing by on the winding mountain roads.
When the tires were changed at the gas station and refueled, it was completely dark, and Xiaolan and Conan also woke up from their previous difficulties.
Just when Maori Kogoro got back on the car and a group of people were about to set off again, Tang Zhen seemed to suddenly notice that something was wrong.
"Who are you?" Tang Zhen suddenly shouted to Maori Kogoro sitting in the driver's car.
