Chapter 40: Snow Mountains Without Snow
From the city to the suburbs.
After following Mao Lilan around the mountain road for two hours, the three of them finally saw the shadow of the villa.
(?_?) In the end, it’s still here...
Canyons, suspension bridges, villas in the mountains.
hehe...
A very realistic sense of Blizzard Villa.
"As expected of the Suzuki Consortium, they actually chose to build a villa in such a remote mountain..." Ye Gengyi said with emotion.
"Yes..." Conan nodded silently, expressing great agreement with this point.
"Mr. Ye, Conan..." Xiaolan pointed to a figure on the suspension bridge and said, "Look, it seems like someone has just arrived."
The man in front seemed to have heard the movement behind him and looked back.
Hey, how is he dressed...
Xiaolan and Conan took a closer look, and their expressions changed drastically.
They saw that the man's entire face under the hood was completely wrapped in bandages as if he had been seriously injured.
After seeing Conan and the others, the bandaged man returned a cold look and ran directly towards the villa.
"Then...that person should also be going to the villa..." Xiaolan was a little frightened.
"Don't think so much, maybe it's just some strange story in the mountains..." Ye Gengyi muttered casually.
Look, something amazing has indeed appeared, but no matter how cruel it is, can it still be more cruel than the God of Death?
Hey hey... you guys have started again...
Thinking of the earthbound spirit in the old apartment in Nerima District, is this time going to tell the story of an old demon from the mountains?
Conan Half Moon Eyes: "Haha... Brother Gengyi really loves to joke..."
"Conan, let's go to the villa quickly!" Xiaolan felt that there seemed to be a few more pairs of eyes in the woods behind her, and she quickly walked across the suspension bridge.
In front of the villa, a female high school student with a hairpin opened the door.
"It's so slow, Xiaolan, where have you been..." Ling Muyuanzi had been waiting for a long time and was about to complain when he suddenly saw Ye Gengyi in black casual clothes and his eyes lit up: "Ah, this is your phone number
Mr. Ye mentioned in the article! Hello, my name is Suzuki Sonoko."
"Ye Gengyi." Ye Gengyi greeted calmly.
"Hey, hey, he's so handsome and cool!" Suzuki Sonoko's eyes were filled with fear. She pulled Xiaolan and whispered, "Isn't this really your new boyfriend?"
"That's not true!" Xiaolan's face turned red, "Don't talk nonsense. What if someone hears you and misunderstands you?"
Yuanzi teased: "Wouldn't that be better? I think you should get rid of that stupid detective as soon as possible."
Conan gritted his teeth from the side, but really speaking, Ye Gengyi really brought him a lot of sense of crisis, and he couldn't let them continue talking:
"Sister Xiaolan, I want to go to the toilet."
Conan unleashed his ultimate move.
"Eh? I just noticed..." Suzuki Sonoko crouched down and said, "This child is the Conan who lives in your house, right? He's really cute."
Haha...I don't need your praise yet.
Conan continues the half-moon eye.
"But...it's so inconvenient to fall in love with such a burden..."
"Talk about... fall in love?" Xiaolan was confused.
"Yes, we came here just to meet handsome guys." Suzuki Sonoko took it for granted, "And there is such an outstanding man like Saradagi. If you still can't let go of that guy Shinichi, I won't be polite.
Already..."
Ye Gengyi and Conan looked at each other with half-moon eyes...
Do you really pretend that we can’t hear it?
"Ahem... Speaking of which, today's party shouldn't be a masquerade party, right?" Ye Gengyi took the initiative to change the subject.
"Ah? Brother Gengyi, why do you ask that?" Yuanzi looked up and down at his outfit today. It was normal.
"So before..." Xiaolan looked stern, "We saw a man wrapped in bandages on the bridge."
"Wrapped in a bandage?" Suzuki Sonoko asked strangely: "But among the people who came today, no one was injured. And although my sister's classmates are members of the film club, they are not likely to hold any masquerade parties."
"Then... maybe it's someone who lives nearby?" Xiaolan still felt a little uneasy.
"Oh, don't think so much. Go and put away the gifts. Your room is on the second floor. After you finish cleaning up, come down and have dinner! Remember to dress up nicely..." Suzuki Sonoko winked at Xiaolan and said to herself
I also hurried back to my room to prepare my makeup.
"Conan, do you want to go to the bathroom?"
As soon as they got to the second floor, Xiaolan suddenly remembered and said, "I don't know if there is a bathroom in the room. Otherwise, I'd better take you to Yuanzi to ask."
"Ah? No...I'm not that anxious." Conan rubbed his head in embarrassment.
"Then let's look for it on the second floor. Speaking of which, which room is ours?"
Xiaolan opened a door casually, but...
"Ah! Sorry..."
"I'm sorry, I went to the wrong place..."
"Ah! Sorry, sorry, I'm looking for the bathroom..."
Click...
"I found it, I found it, there is no one in this room, Conan, please go to the bathroom quickly!"
"Problem kid, your sister is very nice to you..." Ye Gengyi, who had been following behind, complained.
"Yes...yes..." Conan lowered his head.
I'm a sophomore in high school, so it's really embarrassing to ask someone to help me find the toilet...
Check availability.
Ye Gengyi temporarily lived next door to Conan and Xiaolan. After taking out a few items from his backpack, after a while, he left the room and went downstairs.
He didn't remember the circumstances of this case very clearly, so he needed to make some preparations just in case.
Eight people were already seated at the dining table.
Seeing Ye Geng coming downstairs, Suzuki Sonoko also quickly greeted: "Brother Geng Yi, come and sit down!"
"Gen...genchi?" Suzuki Ayako, Suzuki Sonoko's sister, thought the name was quite familiar.
Turning his head, he looked at Ye Gengyi, who was walking steadily step by step, and asked in surprise: "Are you Professor Ye?"
"Oh?" Ye Gengyi was surprised, "You know me?"
"I...I am a graduate student. I went to an international exchange meeting with my tutor to study, and I met you once..." Suzuki Ayako was a little embarrassed, "But because you were surrounded by a large group of people at the time,
So he probably doesn’t have any impression on me."
"Uh...sorry." Ye Gengyi said.
"No... no need, I should be the one who is rude. I didn't expect Sonoko to be able to invite you." Suzuki Ayako stood up and shook hands with Ye Gengyi in salute.
"Ah! It turns out Brother Genichi is so powerful... What kind of exchange meeting is this? A social gathering?" Suzuki Sonoko expressed surprise.
"No... I think it should be a gathering where inventors like Dr. A Li get together to discuss research and brag about their inventions." Conan remembered Dr. A Li's introduction to Ye Gengyi at that time, "Like Geng Yi
It is normal for a young man like my brother who is a talented person in the field of scientific research to be attracted by major chaebols."
"Hehe, sister, aren't you looking for a husband? I think Genichi-san is quite suitable." Suzuki Sonoko leaned into Ayako's ear and said.
