On Friday, July 28th, before noon, on the train of the Chichibu Railway Chichibu Main Line.

The six people of Mori sat on the express route, and this train was the Chichibu Railway 3000 series, with two seats on double benches, with Ran and Conan, Midaiko, and Sonoko sitting on two seats facing each other, and Mori, Yamazaki, and two other passengers occupying two seats.

Maori looked at the newspaper he had bought on the platform and suddenly screamed, startling the passengers around him. Then, Maori called the flight attendant to buy the road map and study it.

Soon after, Mihanabata Station in Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture arrived, and Mori and Yamazaki got off the train, and they were supposed to transfer to the Yubu Chichibu Line as planned, but Yamazaki found Mori running outside the station and told him that he should not do it, so they had to follow, and at the bus stop outside the station, they got on an old bus with some passengers.

After sitting down, Yamazaki hurriedly called back and said that he would not go back for lunch, and at the same time the bus left the station. ……

On the way, on the bus.

The seats on this bus are double bench seats, and the six Mori occupy three seats in the front and rear, Yamazaki and Maidako, Mori and Conan, and Sonoko and Ran.

Lan asked, "Dad, where are we going?"

Maori said, "Shadow Spade Village. ”

The garden asked, "What is that?"

"It seems to be a satoyama. Conan said, pointing to the advertisement on the car.

Seeing that the painting was full of farmland and green space, Mei Daizi asked, "How do you go to this kind of place?"

Yuan Zi smiled: "It's okay, it's not a big deal not to eat a meal." ”

"Garden. Midako complained.

"Ahem," a man in his thirties walked over, "Hello everyone, I'm Takuro Yabe from Shadow Shovel Village, the head of the Youth League of Shadow Shovel Village. Then he handed over a business card, and then said, "Our Yingzhu Village has beautiful mountains and rivers and rich tourism resources, and we will not disappoint you." ”

"What's the use of a good view, and you can't eat it. Mei Daiko pouted.

"There are all kinds of vegetables in the fields of our Shadow Spade Village, there are many kinds of aquatic products in the river, and there are several kinds of mountain delicacies in the mountains, all of which are extremely delicious. Takuro Yabe smiled, "Little girl, you will definitely be able to feast on it." ”

"Let's take a look first. Yamazaki said, and then said to Midako, "If it doesn't work, I'll have someone send it again." ”

"That's all there is to it. Mei Daiko said, and then asked Maori, "Uncle, what are we doing here?"

"Well, this," Maori said, "you'll know then." ”

"Really. Lan grumbled.

Yuanzi asked, "By the way, what kind of car is this, it seems to be rare?"

Conan smiled: "This is a twister car, the most popular car in China 30 years ago, it is characterized by a pointed nose, easy to see. ”

"Kid, you're so smart, you know that. Takuro Yabe laughed.

Yuan Zi said: "What is convenient to look at, how can it be changed to the current flat-head car if it is really convenient." ”

Takuro Yabe said, "Using this nostalgic bus as a sightseeing car for our Kagesho Village is a sightseeing strategy for our village chief Takehiko Funaki. ”

Mei Daizi said: "What kind of strategy, this kind of 30-year-old car looks okay, and I don't know if it's safe or not when I sit, can you take responsibility for something that happens? ”

Yuan Zi smiled: "Maybe the money to buy the car was embezzled by their village chief." ”

Takuro Yabe hurriedly said, "How is this possible? There is absolutely no such thing. ”

"React so quickly, it can't be because of a weak heart, right?" asked Midaiko.

"I look like it. Yuan Zi smiled.

"Alright, you two," Lan smiled, "and the air here is so fresh. ”

Takuro Yabe smiled: "What Miss said is right, this is one of the major characteristics of Satoyama. ”

At this time, the bus stopped, and the conductor got off the bus stop on the side, took out a whistle and blew it.

Mei Daiko looked at it and found that it was a narrow but curved mountainside turn, so she complained, "Isn't it, if you have to go through this way, can't you dig up some of the mountain?"

"yes, that's too dangerous. Lan said.

"It must have been the village chief who swallowed up the money for the road construction. Yuan Zi smiled.

After turning the corner, there is a memorial monument on the ground, and Conan asks Takuro Yabe, "Has there been a car accident here?"

"This ......" Takuro Yabe slurred.

At this time, the conductor got on the bus, and the bus started again.

Yamazaki said: "Mr. Yabe, a lesson from the past, before the road was repaired, it was good that the sightseeing activities in your village were stopped, and you made a mistake knowingly, but you did it on purpose. ”

"This ......" Takuro Yabe sweated, and then changed the topic, "Look, that's our Shadow Shovel Village, and our village is full of wooden houses, don't you miss it?"

"For wooden houses, I'm more concerned about electricity and hot water. ”

"It's all of these, it's all of it. Yabe Takuro said hurriedly.

At this time, the bus stop arrived, the car stopped, and a group of people got on the bus. An old man with a cane tapped his cane and knocked on Maori and Conan's seats, "Hey, this is my seat, you guys come down for me." ”

"Isn't there a seat over there? Maori said.

"Mr. Okumurayoshi, it's the peak tourist season," Takuro Yabe said hurriedly, "and the village council has decided to let it be used by tourists." ”

"Hmph, that's what you people decided, and we didn't agree. Okumuraji said, then to Mori and Conan, "Come down quickly, this is the seat I have sat in for forty years." ”

"Sorry, guest, please choose a different location. Takuro Yabe said to Mori.

"What the hell is this place?" Mori reluctantly stood up, and Conan stood up too.

"What are you talking about!" Okumura shouted at him, holding Mori from him, "No one is calling you here, it's you tourists who have made this place a miasma, get out of here, you're not welcome here." ”

"Mr. Okumura, don't go too far. Takuro Yabe shouted.

"Hmph!" Okumurayoshi sat down.

"Whew. Maori breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, sir. Takuro Yabe said to Mori.

"It's okay, it's okay. Maori said, and sat down in another seat with Conan.

"I'm sorry, but please don't take it personally, we will definitely provide you with satisfactory service. Takuro Yabe said to the tourists.

"Brother, do you mean by what they say, is this the only bus in this place for decades?" asked Midaiko.

"I guess so. Yamazaki said.

"It's a strange place, you can't afford a bus for decades. Mei Daiko said.

"It must be the village chief's dereliction of duty. Yuan Zi smiled.

"Yes, little girl, you're right," Okumurayoshi high-fived and laughed, "I'll call when I get back and ask for a thorough investigation of this guy's property, and I want to see what he's done all these years." ”

"Mr. Okumura, the village chief has done his best for our Shadow Spade Village over the years, which is obvious to all. Takuro Yabe said.

"Is there one? Why didn't I see it?" said Okumurayoshi, "and what are you nervous about? Could it be that you are in cahoots with him? ”

"How is this possible, our youth league does not charge remuneration for doing things. Takuro Yabe said, "Sightseeing is all for the sake of the village, and as a member of the village council, you also know that in recent years, the population of our village has been declining, and if you don't do anything, sooner or later, all the people in the village will be gone." ”

"Hmph, alarmist. Okumuraji said, but stopped talking.

At this time, Yamazaki suddenly felt the danger and was shocked, and found that the flight attendant was coming, and the posture of her left hand seemed to be pinched with a needle, a poisonous needle. So as she passed by, he stretched out his left hand and pinched her hand, causing the needle in her hand to fall into his own hand, and then withdrew his hand.

"Mr. Okumura......" The flight attendant felt a pain in her left hand before she finished speaking, and then she noticed that Yamazaki withdrew her hand, and her face immediately turned white.

"Miss Natsume, is there something going on?" asked Okumurayoshi.

Miss Natsume glanced at Yamazaki and saw that he didn't debunk his intentions, so she reluctantly settled down, "That's the case, there will be a lot of villagers on the bus at the next stop, and you have two seats here......"

"If the villager is going to say so, you can let him sit next to me. Okumurayoshi nodded, then picked up his plastic kettle and took a sip of water.

"Thank you so much. Miss Natsume looked at Yamazaki again, and then walked away uneasily.

Midaiko touched Yamazaki with her arm, "Brother, what did you take from her?"

"No, this is it. Yamazaki spread out his hand, revealing an injection needle with a small skin pouch, and whispered, "It should be poison juice in it." ”

"I'll try. Mei Daizi took out her wallet to test the poison, this wallet is the silver wallet engraved with a crow pattern left by the members of the robber group in the car explosion incident after the last robbery incident at the rice flower branch of Fengcai Bank.

Seeing that the juice in the needle was dripping on the wallet, which quickly changed color, Mei Daizi laughed quietly: "Sure enough, it is highly poisonous." Then he whispered, "Is it against the person in the back?"

"I guess he's right. Yamazaki whispered, "The purpose may be to provoke trouble." ”

"What's the matter?" asked Midako in a whisper.

Yamazaki whispered, "You also heard it just now, this Mr. Okumura is at odds with that Mr. Yabe. ”

Midaiko laughed quietly, "Oh, by the way, if something happens to Mr. Okumura, Mr. Yabe is the biggest suspect." ”

"That's right, maybe there are forces in the village involved. Yamazaki whispered, "I can't guess what the motive is." ”

"What about this needle?" asked Midaiko.

"You can't just throw this thing away," Yamazaki said, "so you put it in a plastic bag with a paper towel and wrap it in your wallet." ”

Mei Daiko said, "Well, just in case, I'd better empty my wallet first." As he spoke, he emptied the contents of his wallet into his bag, and then wrapped the poison needle and put it in his wallet as Yamazaki said. ……
