I don’t know what the rich people in this world are thinking. They always like to build villas in the forest.
After getting off the bus, the three people walked along the path, then gradually went deeper, and finally found the direction of the secret room.
Of course, the only ones who lost their way were Mao Lilan and Conan. Shiraijiu had sticky rice with him. From time to time, he flew to a high place to take a look, then flew back, landed on Shiraijiu's small schoolbag, secretly rubbed Shiraijiu's neck, and shouted again.
It flew away.
Mao Lilan, who was holding the map as if she didn't have it, was busy looking for the direction. At the same time, she took a moment to look up at Shiraijiu in front of her and smiled: "Ah, Xiaojiu seems to be very popular with the birds~"
Conan also turned his head when he heard this, thinking deeply.
It is true that Shirai attracts birds. She has seen birds land directly on her fingers several times before. And although she has no expression, she must also like birds, because Conan seems to remember that she also has one.
Several times I saw Shiraijiu's eyes lingering on the birds outside.
But these birds seem to be somewhat similar...should they be the same type of bird?
Conan didn't study birds deeply, so he felt that every bird seemed to be the same. Just like dogs of the same type, each one seems to be the same to outsiders, but only the people who keep them and those who have in-depth research in this field can
Know the difference between each one.
Seeing Conan, who was not suspicious, from the corner of his eye, Shiraijiu was in a good mood, and even the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Yeah. I like them too."
"That's great~" Mao Lilan smiled, then looked back at the map worriedly, "That's strange, the villa should be nearby..."
Regarding this, Conan wanted to complain: "Sister Xiaolan, are we lost?"
thump--
Xiaolan's heart skipped a beat with a guilty conscience, and then she forced a smile: "No! It's just, it's just a slight detour!"
Conan:……
I'm really lost...
Bai Jingjiu, who was walking ahead and leading Mao Lilan back to the right direction little by little, turned back and gently said something to Xiaolan, "You are indeed not lost. The villa is nearby, look."
As Shirai Kuichi pointed, Mao Lilan and Conan, who gradually walked out of the woods, saw the suspension bridge in front of them and the villa in front of the suspension bridge.
"ah!"
"ah……"
Mao Lilan happily pulled Conan over and said, "I'm just telling you~ the villa should be nearby~"
Haha, don’t think he didn’t notice that later on, Shirai was the one who walked in front and led Xiaolan – after all, according to this guy’s character, if he wasn’t leading the way, he would never walk in front of everyone.
of.
For example, now, the villa is in front, the target is clear, and Xiaolan no longer needs Shiraijiu to lead the way, this guy has unknowingly fallen behind them.
Huh? Wait a minute? It seems that Shirai is not walking slowly and lagging behind, but that he has stopped at all?
Strange, what is she looking at?
At this moment, Mao Lilan beside him also stopped, "Huh? Is the person in front also going to the villa?"
The person in front?
Conan turned his attention back to the front, and saw that the people in front seemed to have noticed their group, and turned back to look at them.
Just one glance shocked Mao Lilan and Conan.
Not only was this man wearing a black robe and a fisherman's hat on his head, but his exposed face was also covered with bandages! The look in his eyes when he turned around to look at them was also terrifying!
Fortunately, this dangerous-looking man just glanced at them, turned around and left.
"Then... that person is also going to the villa?" Xiaolan, who was still in shock, looked at the direction in which the person left, hesitant and unable to move her legs.
"No, it's not..." Conan comforted uncertainly.
Yuanzi invited Xiaolan to this party. According to Yuanzi's character... Conan really couldn't say whether he would invite such a strange person.
With this in mind, Conan fell behind and approached the thoughtful Shiraijiu, "Hey, Shirai, what do you think of that person?"
Bai Jingjiu glanced at him lightly and replied: "She has quite a personality."
When she just came out of the woods, she directly saw the person standing blindly in the middle of the suspension bridge in front of her. This person looked at the villa, exuding strong malice. But then Xiaolan got on the bridge and met this person.
, this person's malice dissipated somewhat, as if Xiaolan had interrupted his inner thoughts.
It looked dangerous at first glance, but in fact it was just a feeling of displeasure after being disturbed.
From this point of view, this person should have an opinion against someone in the villa, not against their group. The three of them should be safe.
"..." Faced with Shiraijiu's statement, Conan was speechless for a moment. He thought about the weirdo's dress...it was indeed very unique. What Shiraiji said seemed to be correct?
"Then you look thoughtful, what are you thinking about?" Conan asked.
While walking with Conan on the long suspension bridge, Shiraijiu replied: "Don't you think the look of this bridge makes people want to destroy it?"
Conan:???
Sorry, what did you just say? Repeat it again, I didn’t hear it clearly?
Bai Jingjiu looked at the wooden piles connecting the suspension bridge in front and the wooden piles behind, as well as the wooden bridge under his feet that swayed slightly with his footsteps, as well as the long broken wall and shallow river below the bridge, "Look,
If the bridge is broken, people on the other side will not be able to get out at all, and they can do whatever they want, right?"
"If bad weather blocks the signal, you won't even be able to make calls."
"Total isolation."
"Take this opportunity to kill everyone in the villa directly. No one will know about it for ten days and a half."
"By the time the police discovered what was going on here, the murderer would have long since escaped without a trace."
"What a perfect place to commit a crime."
Conan:……
What should I do... Although it is rare for Shirai to talk about so many paintings at once, listening to Shirai's sigh, Conan's feet can't move forward.
It's not that Conan is timid, but that as a detective, he often goes to crime scenes, and when he understands what Shirai Sakeko said, this is really a possibility!
Especially when I just met a weirdo who looked dangerous!
Conan turned around and wanted to stop Xiaolan: "Hey, Xiaolan...!"
"Lan~!" At the end of the suspension bridge, at the entrance of the villa, after Yuanzi saw Xiaolan's arrival from the window, he quickly opened the door and welcomed her out, his voice as loud as ever, "It's so slow! What are you doing?"
Xiaolan quickly ran over to meet Yuanzi, not forgetting to greet the two children, "Conan, Xiaojiu, hurry up~"
Conan: "..."
Shiraijiu: "Okay——"
Conan: "???"
After Bai Jingjiu agreed to Xiaolan, he trotted over quickly, as if she was not the one who just said the scary speculation, leaving Conan alone on the suspension bridge in a mess in the wind, neither walking nor retreating.
