At first glance, the thinking seems a bit jumpy, but when you think about it carefully, it seems quite reasonable - after all, from their professional point of view, the tracking of this middle-aged man is really a bit amateur. If it is classified as an illegitimate fan, it makes sense.
However, the stalker appearing on this node always felt that it was not that simple. After thinking about it, Akai Shuichi did not act rashly: "Let's take a look at the situation first."
As he spoke, he turned up the sound from the bug a little louder, making sure not to miss any information on the other side.
…
In Ktv.
Jiang Xia didn't seem to care about all the chaos behind him. He came to the front desk, flipped through the menu and ordered some water, and then took his classmates to the open box.
After the group of people walked away sparsely, the door opened and closed, and another figure walked in.
The receptionist looked up and was slightly startled by the guest's dress.
——The person who came was wearing a dark baseball cap, the brim of the hat was so low that it almost reached his eyes, and the dark glasses on the bridge of his nose were squeezed down a bit.
Front desk: "..." Forget about hats, why do two of them like to wear sunglasses when going out at night? Can you see the road clearly?
But this had nothing to do with him. The front desk smiled politely: "Welcome, who are you?"
The middle-aged man pressed the brim of his hat and did not answer. He only said: "Did a group of high school students with children enter just now? - When they are leaving, you tell me."
Front desk: "Huh?"
Middle-aged man: "When I came in the morning, I forgot something in the box where they were. After they left, I went over to look for it."
"That's it." The front desk turned over the notepad on the table doubtfully, "But we don't have any records of lost items here..."
The middle-aged man chuckled: "Of course, because my friend hid it specially to tease me."
As he spoke, he glanced at the front desk's face and said, "Let's do this. Get me a private room and some drinks. I'll sing while I wait for them to finish."
When the receptionist heard this, he finally quietly moved his hand away from the alarm button - a stalker has his own way of dealing with stalkers, and guests have their own way of treating guests.
Facing this seemingly generous guest, he smiled professionally: "Okay."
…
After entering the box, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko sang the first song happily.
Conan and Maya Hashimoto looked outside from time to time, but after glancing back and forth, the suspicious follower never came in.
Gradually, Conan looked away from the door, and his eyes fell on Maya Hashimoto's pocket: "..." Think about it carefully, this guy has a mobile phone on him. If the stalker is really his accomplice, then they can definitely send him a message.
To exchange information, there is no need to meet in person.
"According to my observation, during this period, Maya Hashimoto never touched her mobile phone and had no communication with that person."
Conan muttered in his heart: "In addition, the middle-aged man's stalking skills are really... not very professional. Did I guess wrong before - these two people are not accomplices, and the stalker followed him because of other things?
"
Since the other party hasn't made any movement for a while, there's no need to get into trouble. It's better to do your own thing first.
Thinking like this, Conan looked at the singing booth aside, his fingertips curled up, and his hands felt itchy.
——As a former contemporary high school student, he also likes karaoke like other classmates. But when he sings songs... his skills are slightly lacking, so gradually, no one is willing to come to karaoke with him.
.
"If I were Kudo Shinichi now, Xiaolan and Sonoko would probably not agree to this proposal to come to Ktv anyway."
Conan stretched out his evil finger and quietly ordered a song for himself: "Fortunately, I have changed. Now I am Edogawa Conan, and I took the elementary school music class all over again - it's time to show off
I’ve made progress!”
…
With a burst of exciting and cheerful music, the chorus of Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan came to an end.
The two were about to order another song, but when they looked at the song booth, they found that there was already another song in the queue.
"Huh? Oh, this should be Jiang Xia's order." Suzuki Sonoko quickly handed him the microphone and said expectantly, "This is my favorite song this year. It really resonates with my heart!"
Just as he was boasting, Jiang Xia moved his arm and handed the microphone to Conan who was standing aside.
Suzuki Sonoko: "?"
Mao Lilan: "Well, could it be..."
Jiang Xia patted Conan on the head: "He ordered it."
"..."
The two female high school students fell into a long silence.
——If I remember correctly, they once took this primary school student to KTV, and at that time, Conan’s singing voice...
Next to him, Maya Hashimoto looked at two pale-faced female high school students, confused and a little alert: "..." What's going on? Some kind of intuition seemed to tell him that something bad that he didn't know was about to happen...
…
While the prelude of the song was playing, Maya Hashimoto quietly moved towards Mao Lilan and asked the high school girl in a low voice: "Your expressions look a little strange. Is something wrong?"
...But don't tell him "The classmate who sang this song X years ago died" - this kind of word that means the opening of the stage, if it happens to these people in the box and him, it will undoubtedly be
A ghost story within a ghost story!
"This..." Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko looked at each other and did not answer the question. They just said politely, "You will know later."
Maya Hashimoto was even more confused: "...?"
Although he wanted to grab the two Riddlers' necks and shake them vigorously to make them spit out the truth. But in the end, reason made Hashimoto Maya take a deep breath and return to his original position vigilantly.
He mobilized all his senses, paid careful attention to his surroundings, and was ready to deal with any upcoming changes.
…
Outside the Ktv.
Maya Hashimoto is not the only victim of the Riddler.
In the car, a certain FBI female agent was also curious and wanted to get into the box. Judy pricked her ears: "What's wrong with her expression? What's wrong?... Really, the music was so loud that I couldn't hear it clearly.
A conversation between two female students."
Akai Shuichi: "There is no need for Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko to lie. Since they said, 'We will find out later,' then we will wait for a while as she wishes."
As he spoke, he turned the volume of the bug to maximum.
The whispers of the two girls could be heard a little more clearly, and at the same time, the sound of music flowing in the room suddenly became clearer.
At this moment, the cheerful prelude of the music changed and came to the part that needed to be sung.
