Chapter 110: Dusk Villa (1)
Early in the morning of this day, Hua Lantian got up unusually early again. He quickly packed his things, made breakfast, and then woke up his wife Ayako. This was what the couple had agreed upon, to get up, have breakfast together, and send Hua Lantian out.
Because Hua Lantian was going to a party alone with Maori Kogoro's family, and it was for Ayako's safety after all, Hua Lantian did not agree to let her, an ordinary person with no fighting ability, go with this event.
After spending so much time together, Ayako also knew that there were some things her husband didn't want to tell her, which might be very dangerous. She chose not to ask, but to support him silently.
The activity was to go to Karasuma Renya's old nest, the Twilight Annex, for a detective gathering, but since they would be away for several days, Ayako was a little reluctant to leave. The signal in the mountains was poor and it was inconvenient to make video calls, so this happened.
After the couple finished their breakfast, they continued to be affectionate for a while, and then Hua Lantian's phone vibrated. Hua Lantian could only pick up the phone helplessly to confirm that it was Conan calling.
Then he answered the phone, and Conan informed him that they were about to arrive. Hua Lantian could only tell Ayako to pay attention to safety and other things.
But I guess with Zhu Fu Jingguang protecting us in secret, nothing should go wrong. Yes, Zhu Fu Jingguang, who has disappeared for a long time, has finally reappeared. Hua Lantian gave him a rare vacation and let him work part-time as a bodyguard.
Zhu Fushimi Kagemitsu didn't say much. After all, this job was dispensable. Ayako was protected by the Suzuki family's bodyguards. He just needed to keep an eye on her occasionally. Who would be the good guy looking for something to do to attack the Suzuki family? The person was also Hua Lantian's wife.
The reason why Hua Lantian wanted to go was because he wanted to conduct an on-site inspection of the Dusk Villa to see if there was any so-called secret room or the place where Karasuma Renya had conducted experiments before. If he found it, he could take pictures and use it as evidence in the trial.
Time always passes by inadvertently. Maori Kogoro soon came to pick up Hua Lantian in a rented car. Of course, due to the subsidy from Hua Lantian, they rented a good car this time. You asked why Hua Lantian didn't drive his own car. That's not a joke. He didn't want his beloved car to be stabbed or blown up, so he found a reason in advance.
After saying goodbye to Ayako, the group quickly left Beika Town, drove on the highway, left Tokyo, and headed towards their destination, the Twilight Annex, under the guidance of veteran driver Kogoro Mori.
On the way, Hua Lantian and Maori Kogoro took turns driving. The journey was so long that it was a bit embarrassing to let Maori Kogoro drive alone. There was no way around it in the original drama, but Uncle Maori was able to catch up on his sleep later with the help of Brother Kid.
The sky gradually darkened and the street lights on the roadside lit up one by one. They were almost at the end. Against the backdrop of dusk, a pair of bright headlights flashed out from the side of the winding mountain road, followed by a car driven by Kogoro Mouri.
Suddenly, with a "bang...!", the car shook violently. With his superb driving skills, Kogoro Mouri pulled the car to the side of the road and began to check what happened.
With the help of Detective Conan, he immediately discovered that the cause was a flat tire. Out of helplessness, he had to get out of the car to replace the spare tire, but there was no spare tire.
At this moment, Hua Lantian reminded him that there was a gas station over there. Maori Kogoro happily walked to the gas station. Hua Lantian said sorry to Uncle Maori, I will ask Brother Kidd to avenge you later.
