"A letter to me?"
Serabel's brows jumped slightly.
How come the letter to him was delivered to Yukiko?
"Maybe I really think of you as my pretty boy."
Yukiko said half-jokingly.
……
Meanwhile, in the Maori Detective Agency.
In the living room that was used as an office, Mouri Kogoro sat with his legs crossed behind a messy desk with cigarette ashes everywhere. He held in his hand a piece of letter paper and the same 200 million that Serabel received. Check, the brow is sometimes relaxed and sometimes twisted.
I felt relaxed because I saw the check worth 200 million, and I was nervous because I saw the content on the letter.
"Let me take a look... Dear Mr. Mouri Kogoro, I hereby sincerely invite you to come to Gunma Prefecture Dusk Annex to talk to the detectives. I look forward to your visit then... Yours sincerely, the phantom of the God-forsaken boy. "
"Hey, by the way, who is this god-forsaken boy? If you want to write your name on the signature, please write it clearly, okay!"?
Chapter 259: Sister, I’m still driving!
Gunma Prefecture, as part of the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, one of Japan's three largest metropolitan areas, is located in the northwest of the Kanto Plain, bordering Tochigi Prefecture to the east, Nagano Prefecture to the west, Saitama Prefecture to the south, and Fukushima Prefecture and Niigata to the north. county.
Although Gunma Prefecture is basically one of the backward economies among many counties in Japan, its area is quite vast, covering more than 300 square kilometers, which is almost three times the size of Tokyo. It has Extremely rich in natural resources and water resources, agriculture and animal husbandry are extremely prosperous.
The most famous thing in Gunma Prefecture is Mount Akina, which was very popular in Initial D. Its real name is Mount Haruna, and it is one of the three mountains in Gunma.
Of course, Mount Haruna is not the only mountain in Gunma.
It should be said that the entire group of horses are mountains.
At dusk, the sun sets in the west, and the fiery red afterglow shines from the horizon of the mountains to the distant land and falls into the valleys, drawing clear lines of light and darkness between the mountains facing the sun and the shadows.
The black Audi was driving forward at a steady speed on the winding mountain road, surrounded by lush green woods all over the mountains and plains on both sides. The lush branches and leaves extending from above to the center of the road blocked most of the sunset, leaving only a few mottled light spots from the gaps.
Also coming from the passenger window was the completely unprofessional voice of an older girl announcing the road book.
"The road ahead is smooth with a [-]-degree uphill slope, followed by five large arcs of hairpin turns..."
"Wake up, it's going downhill ahead."
Sera Bell's helpless voice came from the main driver.
"As for the five consecutive hairpin turns you mentioned, Yukiko-sama, we passed them half a minute ago."
"...Eh? Is that so?"
Yukiko, who was sitting cross-legged on the seat, was slightly startled, put down the letter in her hand and looked up.
However, the only thing that caught his eye was the scenery that was quickly sweeping backwards outside the car window. As for the road behind, it had long been blocked by the turning mountain.
It’s over, I don’t know where it is anymore…
It was more of a long sigh than a relief. Yukiko simply stuffed the letter with the detailed route to the Dusk Annex on the back into the car drawer, and then lay down straight in the seat, holding her hands. The first snort.
"Mo~ I originally wanted to cosplay as the navigator, but at this speed, how long will it take for us to arrive? We've been wandering around the mountains here for almost two hours, and we haven't seen any so-called annex at all. Well."
"About...another hour."
Serabel did a little mental calculation. He had written down the route written on the letter paper before setting off, so he knew very well how much distance was left.
As for wandering around in the mountains, there is no such thing. After all, they only drove this way, not even a fork in the road.
"But having said that, Yukiko-sama, there is absolutely no need for you to come too."
What Serabel wanted to say was, "There is no need to force yourself to come with him."
But Yukiko obviously didn't have this mindset, and her eyebrows were raised before he finished speaking.
"Why, have you learned to dislike your sister?"
"That was not what I meant……"
Serabel held her forehead slightly in her heart and explained patiently.
"What I mean is, Yukiko-sama, you don't think the long car ride is boring, so there's no need to come with you. You can just stay at home and come here alone."
"But it's boring at home." The older girl shrugged helplessly, "Although riding in the car is boring, it's okay if Bell drives. And didn't the letter say that you can bring your family members with you?"
What does it mean that driving is not boring for me? Does this have anything to do with the person driving...
Serabel thought as she controlled the steering wheel with one hand.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that Yukiko in the passenger seat next to him did something rather mysterious.
Not only did this older girl not put on the shoes she had taken off long ago, but she also took off the socks on her feet.
In fact, it doesn't matter. It doesn't smell much anyway. Just go barefoot.
But Serabel immediately discovered that the two bare feet actually crossed the barrier between the driver and the passenger, and placed them on his lap. And judging from this dishonest movement, I am afraid that...
"Hey, I'm still driving???"
"Then please slow down and drive slowly~"
Yukiko smiled playfully, used her feet together, nimbly held the zipper between her toes and opened it, then reached in without restraint.
This exploration, which originally only took an hour, was once again extended by 10 minutes.
……
An hour later, the black Audi stopped on the mountain road.
In the passenger seat, Yukiko was still wiping her toes carefully with a napkin. When she felt the car stop, she couldn't help but raise her head and wonder.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"look……"
Serabel raised her chin forward.
The sky in the mountains gets darker earlier than in the city. Although it is only five o'clock in the evening in Tokyo time, the twilight in the mountains of Gunma is already quite thick. During the day, the beautiful natural forests on both sides of the road can only be seen at night. It was pitch black, and with the sound of swaying tree shadows, it was like a group of demons with their teeth and claws snarling.
The only thing that can be seen clearly is the area directly in front of the car that is illuminated by the headlights. It is a wooden bridge in the mountains. It is not long, maybe only about six or seven meters. It is built between two cliffs. The workmanship can be seen. It's quite solid when you go up, it doesn't look like it's shaky and will break when you step on it.
"This bridge gives me the feeling that it is the only escape route that must be burned down in a horror movie with a Blizzard Villa plot..." Yukiko complained accurately.
It's no wonder she said this. After all, judging from the contents of the only letter in hand that can be used for navigation, this bridge seems to be the only way to the Dusk Annex.
"If you drive here, you can reach your destination in five minutes at most, and if you walk, it will take you 5 minutes." Serabel turned to ask for advice, "How about we park the car here and walk directly from here?"
"Well, my sister agrees on this point."
Yukiko nodded in agreement without thinking.
So the two of them got out of the car and started walking towards the Dusk Villa.
It was expected to take 10 minutes, but in the end it only took Serabel and Yukiko 10 minutes to arrive.
The reason was that it started to rain in the mountains halfway, and it looked like it was going to get heavier and heavier.
So the two had to give up walking slowly and switch to running.
However, despite this, I was still wet with a little rain when I arrived.
"Well, it's finally here."
At the door of the annex, Serabel held Yukiko, who was running behind her and was a little out of breath, and took the lead in stepping on the steps through the rain to the lighted door and reached out to press the doorbell.
ding dong~
The clear and sweet doorbell rang, and Sera Bell began to look around while waiting patiently.
This dusk villa is a standard European-style mansion. There are several cars parked side by side in the garden in front of the door, from Ferrari to Bentley, and even Alfa Romeo... and there is also an ordinary car that feels like it was rented from a car rental agency. mobility scooter.
It seems that many people have arrived first?
Click.
Just as Serabel was thinking this, the sound of the door shaft turning was heard.
The next second, as the main entrance door opened a gap, a familiar little face poked out from inside.
It turned out to be Conan. He looked up and was quite surprised to see Serabel outside the door.
"Ah? Brother Sera?"
But before he could say anything more, Conan's eyes were subconsciously drawn to an older girl next to Sera Bell who was still holding hands firmly at this time.
"Wait, Mom!?"?
Chapter 260 Yukiko: Divorce!Must divorce!
Mother and son met in this wilderness... Let's call it a wilderness.
What's more important is that she was caught by her own son holding hands with another man. For any other mother, this would be a major mistake that would make her panic.
But Yukiko just blinked her eyes and adjusted herself. She strode forward and reached through the door with both hands. She took Conan out and lifted him high.
"Ara, isn't this our Ke Jiang? Come let me give you a hug~"
"Oh... Auntie, please let me go!"
Conan struggled in a panic and almost blurted out the words "Mom" subconsciously, but luckily he reacted and stopped it in time.
But sometimes, as the saying goes, it is better not to accept it than to accept it.
Yukiko's brows flickered when she heard the boy address her, and her tone instantly turned malicious.
"Ke Jiang, what did you call me just now? I didn't hear you clearly. What are you talking about? Say it again?"
Full of threats.
Conan had a strong desire to survive and quickly defended: "I'm not old, I'm not old, I'm an aunt."
"Aunt→Aunt?"
Yukiko read it again with emphasis.
A slight cold sweat broke out on Conan's forehead. Yukiko had always liked to force him to call her sister since she was a child. The reason was that calling her mother would make people older.
But calling her sister to her biological mother is too weird!
But there is also a saying that a good man will not suffer the immediate consequences...
Just when Conan was in a dilemma, at the critical moment, Mouri Kogoro's slightly impatient voice came out from inside the door.
"What are you doing, you little brat? Who is it that keeps yelling at the door?"
As he spoke, his voice grew closer and closer. When he opened the door, he saw Serabel standing at the door with an innocent look on his face, and Yukiko, who was holding Conan and torturing her fiercely.
"Are... Yukiko-san? And you guys, why are you here too?" Mouri Kogoro was stunned.
"Why else? Of course it's because I received the invitation."
Serabel picked up the letter in her hand and waved it without changing her expression.
"What, you even received it?" Mouri Kogoro seemed to find it a bit incredible.
"After all, Brother Sera is also a detective, so he must have been chosen by the organizer."
Conan spoke helpfully, then turned to Yukiko.
"But... uh, why is Aunt Yukiko here too?"
Aunt?Aunt!
Being touched by this title again, Yukiko gave her son a sideways look that said, "I'll take care of you later." Then she immediately returned to her smiling face.
"Well, I was just too bored at home. I happened to know that Bell was coming here. I thought there was nothing to do anyway, so I came with him."
"Is that so..."
Mouri Kogoro nodded blankly.
After all, he was an old classmate in high school, so he knew Yukiko's character quite well, and it was indeed something that the other party would be able to do.
At this time, Yukiko suddenly let out a soft sigh, and she glanced back and forth behind Mouri Kogoro.
"Oh? Did Maori-san only bring Conan this time? I remember the letter said that you can bring one or two family members. Didn't Miles come with you?"
"Uh-huh, Lan came here with us."
