Chapter 28 Chapter two

As soon as the car entered Xiong Zhiping, he saw that the front of the train station was very crowded, and the buses kept going. On the contrary, taxis saw a good opportunity to make money and ran around. However, no matter how paralyzed the Shin-Etsu Line is, it is still very difficult to digest the passengers brought by the train with only buses and taxis.The square in front of the rustic Xiongzhiping Station was crowded with passengers who had been spit out by the arriving train. "Ah, it really is a sea of ​​people." Kosuke Kindaichi looked at the helpless crowd from the car window and muttered.

"Mr. Kindaichi, so many cars have to rely on one-way lanes to digest, so please be mentally prepared... Maybe it will take an hour to get from here to Karuizawa." Waiting for the police officer to look at his watch, the time is four forty. "Mr. Uehara Sho, it doesn't matter how much time it takes, but the landslide is okay, right?" Waiting for the police officer was a little worried. "I'll go find out." Uehara Shōshisanrou parked his car at a corner of the square, quickly jumped out of the car, and blended into the crowd in an instant.In less than five minutes, he returned.

"Although the danger is serious, it is still no problem to pass. It is said that the place where the collapse has been pulled has been roped, and the security personnel are constantly diverting the traffic. It seems that only one car can barely pass." "That's dangerous enough." "Haha, the police officer is actually so timid." "You're right, Mr. Uehara Sho. It's good for us to take a luxury private car to go to Karuizawa, but I don't want my colleagues to laugh at me-look at this guy, just wait It's over after turning down the cliff like this, Amitabha, Amitabha."

"Haha, wait a minute, Officer Li, you are too worrying. I don't like to hear what you say." "I'm not criticizing Mr. Kindaichi." That's what happened: It was Uehara Shotoshiro who first conveyed the meaning of Tokiwa Matsushiro to Kindaichi Kosuke, saying that there is something that Mr. Kindaichi must investigate, whether he can come to Karuizawa.It’s fine if you stay in your own villa. If you feel constrained, there is also a M Hotel nearby. It’s not a problem to help me introduce it... Anyway, that's what Pan Matsuyo said. As for the content of the investigation, even Uehara Shoshisanro, who is the envoy, didn't know.

When it was very hot, and the temperature in Tokyo exceeded 30 degrees for several days, Kosuke Kindaichi also made his own calculations, thinking that this way of paying for the other party to avoid the summer heat was not bad, so he agreed without saying a word.Since there was still some finishing work, he set the departure date for the next day——Saturday, August 16. Kosuke Kindaichi also told the police officer Waituli about this matter, and invited him to say that although the other party can't afford this part of the expenses, he will treat him as a guest, so how about staying with him for a week.Unexpectedly, the police officer got a leave of absence smoothly, so the two agreed to meet in Ueno today and take the quasi-express train at 10:20.

However, at around eight o'clock this morning, Uehara Shoshisanrou called Kindaichi Kosuke.He just received news from Karuizawa that Karuizawa experienced a heavy thunderstorm around two o'clock last night. There was a landslide on the road between Xiongzhihei and Karuizawa, and the Shin-Etsu Line was partially suspended. So my aunt (actually an uncle, but Shishisanlang usually calls her aunt) ordered a car to pick her up.Shōshisanrou will come around one o'clock in the afternoon, and I hope Kosuke Kindaichi can wait for him. So, Kindaichi Kosuke said that he had an appointment with the police officer Waituli. In that case, he went to the Metropolitan Police Department with the police officer and waited for Uehara Shoshisanrou, hoping to drive the car there. In the end, Shoshisan Lang hesitated for a moment.

Kindaichi Kosuke explained again, saying that things were not as Shoshisanrou thought at all, he would not confuse career with friendship, and police officers are not people who casually inquire into other people's private affairs, this kind of situation has happened from time to time, Never troubled the client. At Kindaichi Kosuke's insistence, Uehara Shoshisanro agreed. Around one o'clock in the afternoon, he drove his beloved Mercury car to the Metropolitan Police Department to pick up the two of them, so now he was driving on the dangerous road of Ubing Ridge. "Then, Mr. Kindaichi and Mr. Police Officer, you have to be mentally prepared. Let's take care of each other and die together."

"Haha, Mr. Uehara, you must be scared." "Where is it? If you take a boat, you have to hand over your fate to the captain, and when you take a car, you hand over your fate to the driver. Isn't that obvious?" "Ah, it makes sense. But please, drive as steadily as possible. After all, this car is too comfortable to sit in." "Haha, it's such a time, I still have time to talk about this. Let's go!..." Just as Uehara Shoshisanrou was about to step on the accelerator, suddenly, a young woman ran to the driver's window. "Hey, are you brother Sheng Shisanrou? Are you brother Shengsanlang from the Uehara family?"

"Huh?..." Uehara Shōsanrou turned his face away. Seeing his face, the woman smiled and said, "Ah, it's really Brother Xing Shisanlang. I can't help it..." This woman looks a little haggard, but she should be only twenty-two or three years old.Maybe the long face is not in line with the preferences of modern people, but she is indeed a big beauty with delicate features.She wore a frugal but neat dress and carried a crude faux-leather handbag. The moment he saw this woman, Uehara Shoshisanrou seemed to lose his natural open-mindedness, and his body suddenly became stiff.

"Who did I think it was? Isn't this Miyoko?" Uehara Shoshisanrou seemed to have his voice stuck in his throat, but he immediately recovered his natural open-mindedness, "Even you, Miyoko, have been here all this time. standing..." "Well, from half past one to now..." The woman said, holding the watch symbolically in front of her eyes, and smiled feebly.When he smiled, his delicate face appeared innocent and innocent, with lovely dimples showing. "What, you have been standing for three hours? Why don't you take the bus?" "Take the bus?...Look, it's all like that."

No wonder Miyoko hesitated.At this time, there happened to be a bus, and it circled in front of the waiting passengers, and everyone rushed to it. The formation could not help but remind people of the train coming just after the end of World War II.This is not surprising. It is impossible for all the waiting passengers to go to Karuizawa, and many of them should go further afield. No wonder they are all scrambling for the first place. "No wonder, I really made things difficult for Miyoko." As he spoke, Sho Shisanrou glanced at the woman's abdomen, then immediately averted his eyes and jumped out of the car, "Sir, I'm sorry, I met an acquaintance." He said, He went around to the other side of the car and opened the passenger side door. "Quick, get in the car." Uehara Shōshisanrou greeted him. "Ah, Brother Shoshisanrou, is this appropriate?" Miyoko noticed that Kosuke Kindaichi and others were sitting in the back seat. "There's nothing inappropriate. Why do you still call me?... Hurry up, get in the car." "You don't need to care about us, hurry up, please get in the car!..." Kosuke Kindaichi also persuaded from the back seat. "I'm sorry, but I'd rather be respectful..." As she spoke, the woman saluted him politely, and then sat in the passenger seat. Uehara Shotoshiro closed the door gently, and then got into the driver's seat on the other side. "Ah, it's been a long wait. Then let's go." With that said, he started the engine again, honked the harsh horn, and followed the bus in front of him. Although the police officer Waituli didn't say a word, he still noticed that the woman who claimed to be Miyoko and got into the car seemed to be pregnant.
