Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 258 A chatterbox

(For well-known reasons, from now until the end of this story, Kinda Kazuo will be collectively referred to as the character he possessed, Jin Wakabayashi.)
At this time, Ruo Linren was squatting in front of the Land Rover off-road vehicle to check carefully. He found that the tire had been punctured by sharp gravels on the road.

It's all his fault that he deliberately drove on the inaccessible but rugged mountain roads in order to deceive people, but the reason why he bought this Land Rover off-road vehicle to drive is to cope with such mountain roads!

Now it seems that the Land Rover boasted in the advertisement that "any mountain, river and dangerous shoal is like walking on the ground" is not as powerful as imagined.

Ruo Linren opened the trunk and found that there was no spare tire on the Land Rover.

Because the car was bought on the black market, there was no interior at all inside the car, but he didn't expect that there wasn't even a spare tire.

As we all know, a car without tires cannot go, so Ruobinren was forced to go down the mountain on foot.

Fortunately, it is not far from the foot of the mountain at this time, and the location is remote, and it is also far away from Liu Yefeng's villa, so it is safe to leave the car and walk here.

Ruo Linren carefully cleaned up the traces in the car, then stuffed the bag of evidence into his pocket and started walking down the mountain.

After walking for nearly an hour, he finally came to the side of the road at the foot of the mountain from the small path. At this time, the sky was already dark.

Even if Ruo Linren's physique is not bad because of regular exercise, but the long distance, rugged mountain road, and cold weather, he really can't bear it.

A car drove by from a distance with its headlights on.

Ruo Linren hesitated for a moment, but still waved to the approaching car.

He was really cold and tired, and walking on foot like this would definitely not be able to keep up with the alibi he had set up in another place, so he decided to take a risk and take a ride.

Fortunately, he is not a big star, so no one should know him, but just in case, he still covered the lower half of his face with the scarf he was wearing.

It's a pity that the car didn't stop, didn't even slow down, and rushed past him in a flash.

At this moment, Wakabayashi misses all kinds of taxi-hailing software in his previous life.

In this way, Ruo Linren walked along the road while trying to hitch a ride.

However, because there were not many cars driving in the remote area, all the passing cars finally ignored him, so after half an hour, the sky was completely dark, and Ruo Linren was still walking alone in the cold wind.

He actually understood that it was already night, and who would safely let a stranger with his face covered get into his car?
Just when Ruolin Ren felt a little desperate, a car actively stopped beside him.

The window glass rolled down, and a middle-aged man with a simple and honest appearance poked his head out of the window of the cab.

"What happened?" The middle-aged man said with a smile, "Do you need help?"

It seems that luck is always with Wakabayashi!

He nodded heavily.

······
Sitting in the co-pilot of the car, Ruo Linren felt as if he had come back to life.

Although this car looks old, it should be a kind of car that is about to be scrapped after driving for many years. Generally speaking, a car that can shelter from the wind is a fairyland on earth no matter what.

The only problem is, the driver is a loose talker.

Not long after she got into the car, the middle-aged man skillfully took out a pack of cigarettes with one hand while driving.

With a light shake of his hand, a cigarette jumped out of the case, and he quickly put it in his mouth. After casually throwing the case on the platform of the car, he took out a lighter and lit it. smoked.

When he did all this, he didn't ask Ruo Linren at all. The key point was that he didn't open the window.

So Ruolin Ren had to endure each other's second-hand smoke all the way.

If Lin Ren is a guest, it's not easy to say anything, I can only hope that he can notice that there is another person in the car, and restrain himself a little.

"Just send you to the station?" said the middle-aged man.

"Yes, thank you very much." Wakabayashi Ren said.

"We should help each other when we are in trouble!" The middle-aged man smiled heartily: "We're all in the car, it's warm in the car, you don't need to wrap your scarf so tightly, don't you hold your breath?"

"It's okay... I just have a cold, ahem!" Ruo Linren pretended to be unwell.

"Really? Then I won't smoke!" The middle-aged man rolled down the window and threw the cigarette butt out the window.

The caring driver finally stopped smoking, but it didn't stop there.

"By the way, where did you go before, was it a hot spring?" the middle-aged man asked.

"No, there's something wrong..."

Of course Ruolin Ren couldn't tell the truth.

"So it's like this..." The middle-aged man's expression was a little disappointed, just like the disappointment when the neighbor's aunt asked curiously what happened to your house but didn't get an answer.

But that emotion was only for a moment, and immediately he said excitedly: "Do you know where I went?"

Ruo Linren pretended not to hear, but this person did not shrink back because of it.

"Me, there is a farmer's family I know at the nearby climbing point, and I came here to get that!"

The middle-aged man pointed to the back seat while talking.

If Lin Ren didn't hold back his curiosity and glanced back casually, who knew that just this one glance would start the middle-aged man's chatterbox.

On the back seat of the car were two pieces of wood wrapped in newspaper.

Ruo Linren really didn't know what it was, but he didn't really want to know, but the talkative driver started to talk, and he didn't feel that he started his "speech" with these two pieces of wood.

It turned out that he bought these two logs from the farmhouse on the mountain to grow mushrooms, and some fungi had been planted on these logs in advance.

Next, the driver gave a detailed and long-winded explanation on the method of growing mushrooms, the types of mushrooms, the types of wood, the care of the bacteria, and the cooking methods of the mushrooms.

However, if Lin Ren was not interested in this, he would lose his mind after listening to it, worrying in his heart whether he would miss the scheduled trains, and whether there were any details of his criminal plan that he hadn't thought of.

At this moment, the middle-aged man stopped talking and remained silent for a while.

The silence came so suddenly that Ruo Linren was not used to it for a while.

He subconsciously looked at the middle-aged man, only to see that he tilted his head as if remembering something.

"Speaking of which, I think you look familiar, are you that one?" The middle-aged man said suddenly.

"What?" Ruo Linren hasn't reacted yet.

"Mr. Wakabayashi, right!"
