"Done!"
Throwing Marco Phelps' heavy body into the abandoned utility room, Kidd cleared the dust from his body and locked the door with his backhand.
What Sakaki Cheng said was absolutely correct. He walked swaggering through the city and no one paid any attention to him. Instead, he was sneaky and timid, which attracted the attention of many people.
Taking out Marco Phelps' cell phone, Kidd imitated his voice and called his uncle. The content was roughly that the army had something to do and could not go to Shikoku.
Ignoring his uncle's angry roar on the phone, Kidd hung up the phone, picked up his phone, returned to the toilet, restored everything, picked up his duffel bag, and left the station as if nothing had happened.
"Brother Kidd has done it."
Sakaki took off his headphones and turned off the video call.
The first phase of the plan went very smoothly. Kidd successfully solved the identity problem used to invade the military base at night. Although Marco Phelps was just an ordinary soldier, as long as he had this identity, he could sneak in and Not difficult.
The rest.
It's almost evening, and we'll wait until the officers leave the base.
Stretching, Sakaki closed his notebook and suggested:
“Do you want to eat Kobe Wagyu beef?”
"think!"
Hiroki raised his hand happily: "I have reserved a seat!"
On the Shinkansen train, Sakaki was not trying to trick Conan into making an appointment. Hiroki had indeed made an appointment to taste Wagyu beef at the breeding base in Hyogo Prefecture. All he had to do was go there today.
But there are only three people in the room.
Since Conan went to the city with Mouri Kogoro and his family, Sakaki and the others were free to move around in the afternoon. As long as they returned to the hotel before 5 o'clock in the evening, they could remotely connect with Kidd and continue to implement the next plan.
After changing their clothes, the three of them took the hotel shuttle bus and arrived at the station. After buying their tickets, they set off for the Tajima area.
It is worth mentioning here that Kobe City is the seat of the prefectural office of Hyogo Prefecture. Because the prefecture in Japan is equivalent to the province of Togoku, Kobe City is the provincial capital and belongs to Hyogo Prefecture, but Hyogo Prefecture does not belong to Kobe. city.
Real Kobe beef refers specifically to Tajima beef from the Tajima area in Hyogo Prefecture. Because the Tajima area belongs to Kobe City, it is also called Kobe beef.
Authentic Kobe beef only accounts for 1% of Japan's market share, and the price per kilogram has reached an astonishing 15,000 yen. Even if most people see it, they may not have the courage to place an order.
After all, the next-level beef is much cheaper and more cost-effective.
The train drove leisurely on a country road, with a clear blue sky, bare fields and gray-black mountains on both sides.
“If you come here in autumn, the scenery will be beautiful.”
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Miss Miyano said softly.
"Then let's travel here again next year."
Sakaki Cheng smiled:
"Just in the fall."
"Um."
Hiroki lay on the window and looked curiously for a while, feeling a little bored. After all, the scenery would make you tired of looking at it after a while, and it was far less attractive than Kobe beef.
A few minutes later, the train stopped at a platform in the countryside. Sakaki and Makoto got off the train and wanted to hail a taxi, but there was no sign of it. In the end, they had no choice but to ask.
There are no taxis here at all.
To go to the village, you must take the bus that runs every two hours and costs 300.
The previous bus had just left 10 minutes ago.
Money is no longer an issue at this moment.
Even if the ticket price is 1,000, you can't call the bus back.
"Do we still have to wait two hours?!"
In the cold wind, Hiroki shivered:
"This is a place where birds don't lay eggs!"
"It's terrible, it's like this even in rural areas!"
An old farmer passing by waved his hand and said disapprovingly:
"Are you going to the breeding farm in Tajima Village? Did you make a reservation online?"
"Yes, how do you know?"
Hiroki looked at him curiously.
Rough wrinkles appeared one after another, and the old farmer grinned:
"There are tourists like you who come here every day. I have seen a lot of them. In fact, the Wagyu in Tajima Village is no different from the ones sold in stores. However, some people do not believe in evil and come all the way to taste it."
“Isn’t it said that the most authentic Kobe Wagyu beef can only be tasted in Tajima Village?”
"It's just a gimmick, but you really believe it!"
The old farmer smiled and said:
“Technology is so advanced now that a cow just slaughtered in the morning can appear in a store in Tokyo two hours later. It must be fresh!”
"If Tajima Village doesn't do some gimmicks, how can it attract tourists and stimulate the economy?"
As he spoke, the old farmer took out a leaflet from his arms and handed it to Sakaki Cheng:
"If you need a car, you can call the number above and someone will pick you up in half an hour. The fare is 1,500 per person."
"Of course, if you don't want to wait that long, you can also ride on my tractor for a fixed price of 1,000 per person."
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Sakaki finally understood.
The old farmer in front of me is not a warm-hearted person at all, but is here to solicit customers!
The key is to just pull it.
tractor.
Not upset?
"tractor?"
With his ears perked up, Hiroki suddenly became interested:
"I've never ridden on a tractor! One ride at a time!"
"No problem, just wait!"
The old farmer put on his straw hat and left with his hoe. After a while,
Chug tug tug.
A machine that emitted acrid black smoke and looked like a large grasshopper was parked in front of the station.
The smile on Hiroki's face disappeared instantly.
"Come up!"
The old farmer pointed at the iron bucket behind him:
"In 20 minutes, I guarantee you will be delivered to the door of Tajima Village Breeding Base!"
tractor.
Probably can't play Fast and Furious.
If even a tractor could race a car, then a sow would be able to climb a tree.
Then the question comes
If a slow-moving tractor can reach the Tajima Village breeding base in 20 minutes, why does it take half an hour for the car to pick them up?
There is only one answer.
Fooled.
This question suddenly came to mind when Sakaki was on a bumpy road and almost vomited out the acid in his stomach.
Damn it!
No wonder the old farmer had a sinister smile on his face when he left!
They say country people are simple, but in Sakaki's opinion, they are all smarter than foxes!
Glancing at Miss Miyano and Hiroki, who had equally ugly faces, Sakaki decided to keep this secret in his heart forever.
otherwise
The two of them would probably be furious.
"Why do I walk so lightly?"
Hiroki limped and said:
"My head is still a little dizzy. Hey, my eyes are blurred. I actually saw the shadow of Conan and Mr. Amuro!"
"No, your eyes are not blurry."
Looking at the figures standing at the entrance of the farm not far away, Sakaki swallowed:
"It's really them"
