Amamiya Noriko looked down the mountain with a telescope for a long time, only to see the couple's car, a white pickup truck.
If you think about it carefully, it's quite strange for a couple to drive this kind of car.
Pickup trucks are quite common in the vast and sparsely populated areas of the United States and Canada, but they are really not that common in Japan, where there are more mini cars.
"I don't know where people have gone."
Amamiya Noriko gave the telescope to Kudo Shinichi.
Kudo Shinichi used his binoculars to look around the foot of the mountain, and then looked at the forest management office next to the parking lot. He put down his binoculars and said, "Do you think there will be any other way up the mountain?"
"possible."
Amamiya Noriko nodded, because there are more cherry blossom trees on the northern slope of the mountain, and there is a road forming a cherry blossom road. Most people who come here to see the cherry blossoms should go up this road.
But it doesn’t mean that this is the only way to go up the mountain.
"What are you two looking at? Aren't you eating?"
Xiaolan looked at the two of them strangely while holding the lunch box.
Kudo Shinichi hurried back after hearing this, "After all, we are not the only ones here, there are many people enjoying the cherry blossoms nearby. What could happen in broad daylight?"
Noriko Amamiya looked at the other tourists around her and thought that it might not be a strange thing for a young couple to disappear in broad daylight.
"Go back early after dinner."
Noriko Amamiya also joined the eating procession there.
Because she was preparing other things, she didn't make anything delicious. She just made a plate of dumplings. The stuffing was stuffed with some diced radish, mushrooms, and chicken. Anyway, Sonoko liked it very much, and Amamiya Noriko even brought some.
Small dish of soy sauce.
After she took it out of the bag, Kudo Shinichi seemed to have a grudge against soy sauce and would not even dip it in it.
"What's wrong? Soy sauce isn't heavy."
Kudo Shinichi was very calm: "I just don't like dipping in soy sauce."
Noriko Amamiya took a bite of the dumpling and said, "Next time I serve rice rolls for you, I'll see if you want soy sauce."
Yuanzi heard the words and came over: "What is rice rolls? Is it more delicious than dumplings?"
Amamiya Noriko smiled and invited, "Both Sonoko and Xiaolan can come to my house next time, and I can make it for you. It's tender and delicious."
"Yeah."
Sonoko immediately agreed. She had been to Amamiya's house when she was in elementary school, and she went with her father. Amamiya and the Suzuki Zaibatsu were mainly engaged in foreign trade, and the other was mainly engaged in Japan. There was no conflict of interest, so
We also have many cooperation projects and are considered business partners.
The two families occasionally visit each other.
Knowing that the youngest daughters of the two families are good friends makes it even more harmonious.
Sonoko thought about it and said, "My father will visit Uncle Amemiya at the end of next week, and then Xiaolan and Shinichi will also go together."
Xiaolan nodded, and Kudo Shinichi felt that it seemed to be a relationship between Amamiya and the Suzuki family. There was no need for him to go, right?
More importantly, in Noriko Amamiya’s home, what does Noriko Amamiya look like when playing at home...
Noriko Amamiya was confused and looked at him questioningly: "Isn't Shinichi coming?"
"Go ahead..."
After Kudo Shinichi finished speaking with a guilty conscience, he saw Noriko Amamiya, who was normal just a second ago, showing him a kind and gentle smile.
be cheated!
Noriko Amamiya also added: "Then it's settled."
Kudo Shinichi was expressionless: "If there is nothing else."
If you don't want to go when it's interesting, you have to find a reason not to go.
Amamiya Noriko pursed her lips and smiled. This move was a hard-to-get move, but she couldn't let Kudo Shinichi go to her house.
Sonoko said mysteriously: "Shinichi will definitely regret not going. Noriko is very different at home and at school."
"..."
Amamiya Noriko wanted to block her mouth with dumplings immediately, but she still glanced at Kudou Shinichi and said a little embarrassedly: "What's the difference? Sonoko eat a few more dumplings."
Kudo Shinichi was very wary when he looked at her. In his eyes, the shy Amamiya Noriko was not charming, but rather scary.
In school, Noriko Amamiya appears to be a sickly and soft-tempered girl. Her harmless appearance makes people naturally attracted to her. But in front of him, she is...a little witch who simply plays with people's emotions. What can she do at home??
It must be a trap.
Amamiya Noriko also changed the subject at the right time, aren’t the cherry blossoms beautiful?
After a hearty meal, it was time to decide who should take out the garbage. Dr. Ali was the first to exit because he was feeling bloated from eating too much.
Then it’s time for Dr. A Li’s riddle presentation...
Amamiya Noriko's face darkened, and then she lost unexpectedly. Kudo Shinichi was the absolute winner.
Because most of Dr. Agas' riddles are answered in hiragana, katakana or homophones of some foreign languages.
Amamiya Noriko's buff language for alien species is very rough. After hearing the answer, the young detective team would feel enlightened and then think it was a complete joke-level riddle, but after hearing the answer, she could only feel enlightened...
It's like northerners don't understand that cockroaches in the south can fly, but when they return to the south, the walls and ceilings are filled with water.
She also doesn’t understand why onions are so big and can be eaten raw!
Sonoko and Xiaolan were still planning to go with Amamiya Noriko, but Amamiya Noriko asked them to wait here. A piece of garbage can weigh a lot, so it was easy for her.
The garbage disposal point is a little higher up. It will definitely not be placed on the platform where many people watch the scenery. Someone from the forest management office at the bottom of the mountain will come to dispose of the garbage every day.
There were no trash cans along the way, so they all brought their own reusable garbage bags.
After throwing away the garbage, Amamiya Noriko looked at the road going up. The flat slope for enjoying the scenery was only halfway up the mountain, not the top of the mountain. She didn't know what was on it.
Thinking about whether to go back and suggest some mountain climbing, she saw two people coming down the road above, a man and a woman holding hands.
Amamiya Noriko recognized the young couple who parked their car behind them in the parking lot: "Is there really another mountain top on the road?"
After being fed some dog food, Amamiya Noriko turned around and prepared to go back, but after taking a few steps, she heard movement behind her. She sprinted forward in an instant and glanced back at the same time.
Sure enough, there were two people, a man and a woman, chasing her.
"What a little couple, these are a couple."
Noriko Amamiya's windy running speed was beyond what they could catch up with. The two people behind her also noticed this, and then heard a shout: "Stop now, or we'll shoot!"
Amamiya Noriko's mind turned around. The opponent was only ten meters away from her. If she really fired, she couldn't count on the opponent to be vodka, nor could she count on her own luck.
So she stopped obediently, turned around and raised her hand very cooperatively.
Two people rushed in front of him, and the man with the gun put away his gun. After all, it would be troublesome if other people saw him.
He warned fiercely; "Come with us, don't even think about playing tricks!"
Amamiya Noriko said softly with red eyes: "Okay..."
The woman held her hand, and the two of them were as close as sisters, but in fact they were trying to prevent Noriko Amamiya from resisting.
Noriko Amamiya whispered: "Why do you want to arrest me?"
The woman chuckled: "Don't worry, Miss Amamiya, if your father knows what's going on, he can still be alive."
The man glanced at her: "Talk less."
"Aren't you afraid of scaring Miss Amemiya?"
Since it was about her father, Amamiya Noriko basically knew the reason.
She quietly cooperated with them walking down, and when she was almost at the picnic location, she suddenly took the woman's hand and twisted it back hard. The woman's waist was bent and she could hardly react, otherwise her arms and shoulders would be directly bent.
dislocation.
At the same time, Noriko Amamiya punched the man on the other side of her and hit him hard on the neck. She felt that her Adam's apple was dug in. For a moment, the man was speechless and only the pain was left in his throat.
Astringent coughing sound.
But then Amamiya Noriko was stunned.
At the last moment when she lost consciousness, she saw the woman holding an electric shock device in her other hand, flashing arcs of electricity.
After a while.
It felt like Amamiya Noriko had been there for too long. Kudo Shinichi came out to look for her and suddenly saw the zipper pull left on the road. He suddenly remembered that it was on Amamiya Noriko's clothes.
"Xiaolan! Doctor! Call the police! Noriko has been captured!!"
Kudo Shinichi rushed back, and after shouting, he opened Amamiya Noriko's bag, took out his binoculars, and looked down the mountain, when he saw the white pickup truck driving away from the parking lot.
