#1157 - Death marked a spot

"But he actually got together with Emoto Aya."

Fujino touched his chin, looking at Takagi Wataru who had just been fooled by him... er, taught him a lesson, and left contentedly. Fujino touched his chin and said, "It's really a bit unexpected."

"This way, Sato can save himself from a lot of trouble... After all, Takagi's innate ability to cause trouble is extremely strong."

"There is also a white bird..."

"Well, I'll have to deal with that some other time."

…………

Early in the morning, at the Suzuki family.

Suzuki Ayako was standing at the door of her house. She was still the same as before, still the gentle big sister who looked gentle and virtuous and dressed simply.

She squinted her crescent eyes and called to Yuanzi who was getting on the bus: "Have fun, I have something to take care of, so I won't be there until later!"

"Alright, sis!"

Yuanzi chuckled and said, "Remember to come over soon and cook us a big meal!"

Yuanzi nodded and got straight into the car.

Suzuki Ayako narrowed her eyes and smiled helplessly, then sighed, feeling secretly that girls should not be kept when they grow up.

His slightly narrowed eyes were full of helplessness, a hint of envy, and at the same time, a hint of desire for freedom.

In the car, Xiaolan, Haibara Ai, and Conan were all picked up when they went out.

The next step was to pick up Hondou Eisuke as planned.

Fujino asked Suzuki Sonoko curiously, "Speaking of which, Sonoko, why did you suddenly agree to let Hondou go on the trip with us?"

"Of course it's because of cleaning the house!"

Yuanzi said helplessly, "My elder sister has something to do today and can't go with us. We have to clean the room by ourselves when we get there. It's too troublesome to clean such a big house, so I thought it would be more convenient to have one more person. After all, we are the ones who brought him to play, so he should help us with the work, right?"

Fujino's eyelids twitched slightly, and he thought to himself that it was no wonder that she agreed so readily.

So you hired a coolie?

Haibara Ai glanced at Sonoko with a look of disdain on her face.

Humph, the daughter of a capitalist is indeed a capitalist!

If it's this big, it will squeeze the value of others!

…………

The forests in Gunma Prefecture are quiet, with large tracts of remote and dense forests that are gloomy and unusually quiet.

The breeze rustled the leaves, and faintly, one could seem to hear the chirping of summer insects and birds.

Fujino listened to the sounds around him and felt that the atmosphere was quite good.

I couldn't help but recite a poem:

He said, the cold wind blows in the valley, the cicadas sing in spring and autumn...

"Bang!"

Suddenly there was a burst of explosion.

Fujino was slightly startled and held his breath, trying to sense the condition of the vehicle.

Then I discovered that the tire had exploded.

Fujino took a deep breath, steadied the steering wheel and slowly stepped on the brake.

Suzuki Sonoko, who was almost asleep, suddenly woke up and asked, "What happened?"

Xiaolan said at the side: "I seemed to hear a bang just now..."

Fujino took a deep breath and said, "Well, the tire exploded. I'll go down and get a new one."

Xiaolan asked actively: "Do you need help?"

"No, I brought the jack."

"……?"

Xiaolan didn't quite understand why she didn't need help since there was a jack.

But I didn't ask any more questions.

Fujino quickly changed the tire, then got in the car and continued driving.

Then, not long after driving out, there was another "bang" sound.

This time, Xiaolan smiled awkwardly and said, "Could it be that the tire exploded again?"

"Uh, it seems so."

Fujino took out a wrench and got out of the car again: "Wait a minute, I'll go change it."

Replace the tire quickly again.

Fujino got in the car again and drove.

Then not long after it started, there was another "bang" sound.

Fujino gripped the steering wheel, his eyebrows twitching slightly.

So, it has exploded three times. Are the original tires of this broken car so bad?

Oh my god, what kind of luck is this!

Could it be that some psychic sent that damn ghost fetus to secretly puncture my tires?

Damn, three times the limit, if the tire flattens again, I will just pick up the van and run to the villa!

Fujino took a deep breath and took out the last spare tire he had prepared in his personal space.

This time, the people in the car didn't say a word.

He just watched silently as Fujino, with a gloomy face, took out the wrench again and changed the tire again as if he wanted to hit someone.

This time, there was no flat tire.

The mountain road in the forest became quiet again.

Just when Fujino was immersed in the atmosphere, a rumbling sound was heard.

Xiaolan, who was sitting in the back, looked at the black smoke coming out of the hood and couldn't help but hesitantly reminded: "Senior Fujino, your car seems to have a problem."

Huiyuan Ai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, nodded: "It's all black smoke."

Conan, who was sitting at the back, had a look of joy on his face.

Cool! Cool! So cool!

That old bastard Fujino finally got his comeuppance from God!

“…”

Fujino couldn't help but reveal his dead fish eyes.

So, I bought a new car!

Why did it suddenly break down?

And that flat tire!

Isn't it just climbing a hill and a mountain road?

Damn it, I shouldn't have bought that crappy Japanese engine and that little horse pulling a big cart!

Yuanzi was sitting in the back, looking at the smoking hood in front of her with dead eyes and a very complicated expression.

Mr. Fujino usually drives very steadily.

Except for the brake pads being broken due to some voluntary reasons...

It seemed like nothing had ever happened, but this time there was a flat tire and the engine was smoking.

Could it be because of this kid?

Sonoko couldn't help but glance at Hondou Eisuke, who was sitting in the back row with Conan, and felt a little suspicious.

Feeling Sonoko's gaze, Hondou Eisuke chuckled.

Yuanzi: “…”

This child has some issues with his IQ.

Yuanzi covered her forehead and felt a little headache.

But she still remembered that the one or two times this kid went out, things didn't seem to go smoothly.

The last time I went out with this guy, I encountered a murder case.

Although I encounter a lot of murder cases in normal times...

But he had two hits at once, first he encountered a gangster blackmailing a widow, and then the next day he encountered a murder case when he went out.

Thinking this in her mind, she felt that it was very likely.

However, when she recalled that Fujino-senpai had once broken the brake pads for her, Sonoko felt her girlish heart flutter.

As expected, the senior still cares about me!

…………

Fujino was angry and disassembled the engine for inspection.

Then, I saw that the piston rod inside was broken.

Damn, what kind of a hook-eight piston rod is this?

Is it this thin?

And that broken original tire, what the hell!

It's okay to drive on the highway, but once you get on the bumpy mountain road, it's a mess.

What kind of crappy quality is this? It’s made in Japan, I’ll fuck you!

Fujino admitted that he was a bit aggressive when driving, but as a veteran driver, he had the advantage that he could make up for it with most cars.

For example, his Taurus has never been a problem.

Very tough.

Fujino cursed the ancestors of Nissan who cut corners on manufacturing processes and felt a little helpless.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

I can only walk slowly towards the villa.

At this time, the luggage became a problem.

It must be very tiring to carry so much luggage along the mountain road by yourself.

Then, Sonoko came up with a good idea: "Although Senior Fujino is very strong and can carry everything, this is really unfair. Why don't we play rock-paper-scissors to decide who will help whom carry the luggage! Whoever loses the rock-paper-scissors game will have to carry the luggage!"

Letting Fujino carry the luggage is a good option.

Of course Fujino didn't mind. After all, to him, the weight of the luggage was not worth mentioning.

But Sonoko felt that it was okay for someone to help carry her luggage, and that Ran was fine, and that was Ai's duty, but why did Hondou Eisuke need help from Senior Fujino?

Thinking that this boy had bad luck, she came up with this idea.

Then, as expected, Hondou Eisuke lost the game of rock-paper-scissors to the five people.

One man used his thin body to support the luggage of six people.

Hondou Eisuke: SO, this is fair to me?!

For three times in a row, Hondou Eisuke is not a dog.

But like Conan, he also became a dog.

Being tired.

Hondou Eisuke let out a hopeless cry: "Why is it me again?"

"Are you guys just bullying me because I'm unlucky?"

"Where can I get this?"

As the beneficiary, Fujino naturally couldn't admit: "Scissors-paper-scissors is fair."

"Okay, okay!"

Yuanzi put her hands on her hips and laughed to comfort him: "We will reach our villa in just a little more walk. You can have a good rest when you get there!"

“And you can have a great meal at the same time!”

"Of course, I didn't say that we would have to play rock-paper-scissors to decide who would clean the room."

Yuanzi added secretly in her heart, thinking back to how dusty and dirty the villa was as no one had been there since she left last time, she felt her scalp tingling.

Hondou Eisuke, who was unaware of the situation, perked up after hearing this.

Well, it’s almost over!

Then you can have a good rest!

Thinking of this, his adrenaline surged and infinite power burst out from his body.

Then, we waited until we arrived at the place.

A broken bridge and a villa at the end of the bridge appeared before our eyes.

Hondou Eisuke looked at the villa in front of him and asked in disbelief:

"This... this couldn't be your villa, right?"

"Uh, you guessed it right."

"How could this happen?!"

After getting Sonoko's reply, he dropped his luggage to the ground and his eyes were filled with tears.

Sonoko felt helpless when she saw Hondou Eisuke's appearance.

This kid's luck is really bad...

No, is it because this guy has bad luck and I brought him here that the suspension bridge collapsed?

Then wouldn't it be a waste for me to do this hard labor?

But it's not a white belt...

At least we can take advantage of his bad luck and let him carry everyone's luggage.

But if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have to carry luggage...

Even the suspension bridge collapsed.

Yuanzi thought about it and felt that the cause and effect relationship was too complicated and she couldn't understand it with her confused brain.

Then she turned her attention to the main point:

"So, could it be that someone deliberately collapsed the bridge in order to do the Bandage Monster thing again?!"

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I also brought two jinxes, Conan and Hondou Eisuke.

Forget about Fujino-senpai...

Plus these two!

It’s hard not to encounter a murder case!

"Even if you want to kill someone, you wouldn't cut the suspension bridge before killing them."

Conan spoke speechlessly, walked forward, squatted down and took a look: "If you ask me, it's just a landslide caused by the rain. In short, it's a shoddy construction."

Fujino used his civil engineering expertise and whispered, "Indeed, there is no steel bar or cement poured into the foundation here. They just put wooden stakes in there. If it rains and soil erosion occurs, it would be strange if the ground doesn't collapse if someone walks on it."

"Yeah." Huiyuan Ai nodded in agreement, and then continued in a calm tone: "A bridge like this is inherently unstable. I don't know how they dared to build such a long bridge using only wood and ropes."

As she spoke, she hinted, "You have enough money to build a villa in this deep forest, so why don't you build a better bridge?"

"This kind of shoddy construction is really abominable. If people walk on it and are not careful, they will fall down."

"Even if no one falls, it wouldn't be good if a cat or dog fell down."

"A... a shoddy project?!"

Suzuki Sonoko's eyes widened, feeling inexplicably insulted and a little embarrassed.

How dare you say our villa is a piece of shoddy...

Woo woo woo, my Yuanzi has never suffered such injustice since she was a child!

No, we must investigate. We must find out which construction team did this and make them bear the wrath of Miss Suzuki!

Yuanzi was so angry.

Xiaolan's face was full of confusion at this moment. At the same time, she was also worried about whether the incident that happened in this villa before would happen again: "Then, what should we do now?"

“There’s nothing I can do…”

Sonoko recovered and sighed, "Fujino-senpai's car broke down, and we can't walk out. According to the agreement, my sister can only come here at night, and there is no signal here."

“It’s not a big problem.”

At this time, Fujino took out the satellite phone he had prepared in advance: "I brought a satellite phone. I will call Miss Ayako and ask her to come pick us up."

Our hall Yingyou: "...?"

So how many times has this detective encountered this kind of thing?

They actually prepared something like a satellite phone in advance.

And he is so skilled at picking up the phone...

Fujino quickly dialed the phone and explained what he and his friends had encountered.

However, it would take Ayako at least half a day to get here from Tokyo.

It's summer now and the weather is very hot. If you stay outside for a short time, you will definitely get heatstroke.

Then, Conan pointed to the side and said, "In that case, why don't we go to that villa and stay there for a while?"

"villa?"

Fujino turned his head to look in the direction his finger was pointing, and then he saw that a villa had suddenly appeared in the deep mountains and forests.

……?

When did this villa appear?

The last time I came here, I also had one...

In the world of science, a villa suddenly appeared based on Conan, the little god of death, right?

Shit, the god of death has marked a location, and today we have to kill one or two people in this villa!

Villa: “……?” Don’t come over here!!!
