Chapter 28 Villa (1)
He drove to the place he had agreed to meet Sonoko and found two people who shouldn't be there. It was very strange that these two people were there on this particular day.
Today was the day he was going to see Sonoko's older sister. What were they doing here? He drifted around the corner and drove to where the three of them were waiting.
As soon as I rolled down the car window, I saw Conan leaning against it, laughing and shouting.
"Big brother Kudo, you're too late. We've been waiting for you for so long."
He truly hadn't expected that Conan and Ran would be with Sonoko, and a bad feeling suddenly crept into his mind.
If you're with Death, someone's bound to die no matter what.
As soon as he finished speaking, Conan was pulled aside by Ran.
"I'm so sorry, Conan. You're so disrespectful. We've only just arrived ourselves," Ran said apologetically.
He waved his hand dismissively and laughed, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Kids like to tell the truth. It's all my fault for being so late."
"No, it's still early, we've arrived too early," Sonoko defended.
"Quickly, everyone get on the bus, the sooner we leave, the sooner we'll get there."
"Okay~" x3
After the three got on the bus, everyone chatted enthusiastically, with Conan being the first to start a conversation.
"Big brother, I heard you haven't been going to class lately. Are you busy with some big case?"
Conan secretly investigated Su Xingbo thoroughly and discovered that he might have misunderstood him before. He had subjectively assumed that Su Xingbo was a member of the Black Organization, which led to the subsequent events.
If you put aside these personal thoughts, Su Xingbo is just an ordinary, somewhat handsome transfer student; he was just overthinking things.
Indeed, if Su Xingbo were truly a member of the Black Organization, he would probably have already been captured and handed over to the organization by Su Xingbo.
Having figured this out, Conan had already lowered his guard against him, though he still harbored a slight sense of caution.
"Yeah, yeah, you haven't been back to school for days. Classes are so boring when you're not here," Sonoko complained.
"It's nothing, just some trivial matters. I'll take care of it quickly and then go back to school." Su Xingbo looked at Conan in the passenger seat with some surprise.
He has changed, but in what specific ways has he changed?
He couldn't pinpoint exactly what had changed.
"By the way, Sonoko, how did you end up involving those two?"
"I didn't plan to bring this little brat along. I wanted to take Ran to my house to play and introduce her to some nice guys. Who knew this little brat would come along like a puppy? He's so annoying," Sonoko said with disdain.
"Alright, Sonoko, don't hold it against Conan." Ran clung to Sonoko's arm and acted coquettishly.
Sonoko proudly raised her head and said, "Hmph, I'm only doing this for your sake, otherwise I would have given him a few flicks on the head."
And so we quickly arrived at our destination.
Because it was deep in the mountains and driving was not convenient, the four of them started hiking.
As he delved deeper, he felt increasingly uneasy.
This perfectly matched the plot he remembered; now it's just a matter of seeing what happens next.
"Look, after we cross that suspension bridge, that villa ahead is our destination!" Sonoko shouted excitedly, pointing ahead.
Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing.
Outside a villa deep in the forest, a strange man in a black trench coat stood on a suspension bridge. His entire body was wrapped in bandages, even his head, with only a pair of fierce eyes showing.
Hearing shouts from behind, the bandaged man turned around, glanced at the scene, and then sped off towards the villa.
The three women were slightly frightened when they saw the bandaged man's unpleasant expression, but he was utterly speechless.
OK OK.
Sure enough, I guessed right.
This was probably the scariest episode I watched as a child, filled with blood and violence.
"Hey, did that weirdo just run towards the villa?" Sonoko asked tentatively.
"I don't think so, maybe it's just a savage." Xiaolan's voice trembled.
"Alright, let's keep going. With Xiaolan, a karate expert, here, that mere savage is no match for us!" He waved his hand and led the group forward.
They've already arrived at the villa's entrance; he'd brave any danger ahead.
Moreover, he's just a murderer. The moment he pulls out the "equality of all beings" card, he becomes a serial killer and has to kneel down and beg for mercy.
Within seven steps, the gun is fast and accurate, and he also has heavy weapons. It might be a little difficult to scatter his ashes, but it would be easy to make him look like a bloody mess.
The three of them hid behind Su Xingbai and moved forward slowly.
Finally, after crossing the suspension bridge, we arrived at the villa's entrance.
The outside was brightly lit, and it looked very safe, so the group felt relieved.
Yuanzi stepped forward and pressed the doorbell, and a commanding voice came from inside.
"Kakutani, someone's here. I'm too busy right now, could you go open the door for me? It should be my sister and her friend."
"Okay! I'll go right away."
Hiroki Kakutani opened the door, made a welcoming gesture, and said with a smile, "Welcome to the two beautiful ladies and this handsome gentleman, um, and this little boy too, welcome, welcome!"
"Thank you!" x4
Sonoko opened the shoe cabinet and found slippers for them. After changing into their slippers, they all came to the living room.
Sonoko was tired and wanted to rest first. Su Xingbo accompanied her but didn't go upstairs. Conan also stayed there. Only Ran went upstairs alone to put her luggage away.
After Ran came down, Sonoko led them to the restaurant and arranged for them to sit down. Sonoko and her group sat on the left, while the others sat on the right, and then she began to introduce them one by one.
"All four of them are members of my older sister's college film club. These five people have a very good relationship and they get together every two years."
"The handsome man on the far left, with long hair and smoking, is Mr. Ota Katsumi, a foreign car dealer."
"The person holding the camera next to me is Hiroki Kakutani, the current editor of a film magazine."
"Next up is Brother Ryoichi Takahashi, who works for a food company."
“Ms. Chikako Ikeda, a screenwriter and president of their film club.”
Then she pointed to the people on her side and began to introduce them: "This handsome man is my boyfriend, his name is Kudo Hoshikaku. The little boy in the middle is Edogawa Conan, who lives at Ran's house. And the one on the far right is my best friend, Mouri Ran!"
Hello everyone, nice to meet you all! Please take good care of me!
After the introductions were finished, Ayako Suzuki finally arrived, carrying a fruit plate. She placed the fruit plate on the table and sat down.
"Ta-da! This is my older sister, Ayako Suzuki, who's in charge of makeup and costumes for the actors at the family film studio and is also in charge of choosing the wedding partner," Sonoko introduced with a smile.
"You, you, when are you going to change your carefree personality? You're such a grown-up, and you're still shouting all the time." She couldn't help but shake her head and laugh.
