20demayo Chapter 654 Gas Station..........
Chapter 654 Gas Station..........
This time, when heading to the Twilight Villa, I and Kogoro Mouri's group will definitely be the slowest.
After all, among those who went, Kogoro Mouri was probably the worst off, needing to rent a car every time...
Moreover, haggling over the car rental price wasted a lot of time...
Amuro instructed the Japanese public security officers there to investigate the situation inside, ensuring their safety first.
The most important thing is to observe whether Lin Jiayou is among the people who came this time..................
Whether or not Lin Jiayou exists will significantly alter Amuro Tooru's plans.
Although.....................
This won't affect the overall situation...
Anyway, this time at the Twilight Villa, Tequila must die!
As Amuro Tooru said, no matter who comes, it won't make a difference!
........................................
other side
"Hey! Cherry,"
Suddenly, Tequila spoke up, calling out to Lin Jiayou in the passenger seat.
How much longer do we have to walk?
"We've been winding our way along this mountain road for almost two hours now..."
"Not in a hurry,"
Lin Jiayou spoke calmly to the agave.
"It's almost there."
"How long is 'almost'...?"
Tequila pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking.
They were both heavy smokers, so there was no need for them to hide their tequila smoking...
In this respect, it's much more enjoyable than Kogoro Mouri's life...
"Not long ago,"
Lin Jiayou also casually lit a cigarette.
"There should be a gas station about ten minutes ahead."
"After the gas station, there will be a shortcut."
"After you cross the narrow path, you'll arrive."
"Heh, hehe..."
Agave forced a smile.
Damn, Cherry said it wouldn't be long, but from his description, it sounds like it'll take at least another hour...
"Ugh--"
Tequila sighed, sounding somewhat distressed, and muttered a curse under his breath.
"Why did the owner of this Twilight Villa insist on building it so deep inside...?"
Lin Jiayou shrugged.
He said there was nothing he could do; that's how their ancestors built it, what could he do?
When the Karasuma family built the Twilight Villa, they deliberately built it in this location.
It is said that, on the one hand, the head of the Karasuma family invited a master from China to perform a divination for them, pointing out that this place was their family's auspicious feng shui location.
On the other hand, Japan was frequently embroiled in war at that time, and this place, located in the mountains of Gunma Prefecture, was strategically advantageous, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack...
In short, there were many reasons for deciding to build here.
Of course, coming back now would be a long journey.......................
after a while
The two drove to the gas station that Lin Jiayou had mentioned earlier.
Tequila glanced at the time displayed on the car.
Yes, that's good. Cherry wasn't lying; this gas station has only been open for twelve minutes since they started talking about it.
“Cherry,”
Tequila asked Lin Jiayou a question.
"Where is the path?"
"Hold on,"
Lin Jiayou gave a curt reply and then gestured for the tequila to stop.
Tequila was a little confused, but she did as instructed.
After getting out of the car, Lin Jiayou walked into the gas station, chatted with the staff for a bit, and finally returned satisfied.................
"I've found out."
Lin Jiayou first pointed in a certain direction, and then calmly spoke to the tequila.
“Go from here to that side, and you’ll find a path that leads very close to the Twilight Villa.”
"Forehead.................."
Agave's lips twitched.
"So you don't know where the path is either...?"
"I didn't say I knew."
Lin Jiayou said calmly.
Agave was even more speechless.
You spoke so convincingly before, I thought you had actually been here...
Lin Jiayou's expression remained calm.
He said this not because he had been there before, but because he remembered that Kogoro Mouri and his group had also taken this route.
Oh, and he also casually asked the gas station attendant, who said he hadn't seen a creepy-looking middle-aged man with a mustache...
Well, this means he and Tequila were definitely not the last ones; the Mori family was at the very back...
.......................................
Two hours later
After walking and stopping frequently, the Mori family finally arrived at a similar location.
This time, since they had just stopped for air at the previous gas station, they didn't actually plan to stop at this one, but........................
Unfortunately, my tire blew out...
"Depend on!"
After getting out of the car to check, Kogoro Mouri cursed in displeasure.
"I'm definitely going to complain about this car rental company when I get back. They didn't even give me a spare tire..."
"What do we do now, Dad...?"
Xiaolan started to activate the lung fogging mode on her own.
Kogoro Mouri wiped his sweat and said helplessly,
"There's no other way, we'll have to go to that gas station over there..."
"Sigh—I guess this is a different kind of 'after the darkest hour comes the dawn' situation..."
