Chapter 61: The Bandage Monster Murder Incident (1)
Time: Early evening. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Location: Deep in the jungle.
Characters: Moriran, Conan Edogawa (Shinichi Kudo).
Cause: High school student detective Kudo Shinichi, one day on the way to investigate the case, was forcibly poisoned/drugged by two mysterious men in black, his body became smaller, and he lived in Maoliran's house under the pseudonym "Edogawa Conan", hoping to collect information about the black-clad organization through Xiaolan's detective father.
Suzuki Sonoko, the daughter of a wealthy family, invites her best friend Mao Lilan to attend a party at the Suzuki Group's newly built luxury villa in the suburbs, with the real purpose of making friends with the opposite sex in the party.
When Conan learned of the situation, in order to prevent Xiaolan from being unable to control himself, he gave him a green flower hat. He took full advantage of the child's unreasonable characteristics and followed Xiaolan to the party with a dead face.
Tonight, a strange and terrifying case is about to happen......
"Sister Xiaolan, should we be lost?" said none other than the one who wore black flat glasses and powerful sneakers, our protagonist - Conan Edogawa.
"No! Although Ran walked in the jungle with Conan for nearly two hours, she would never admit that she was lost in front of the children.
Xiaolan held the map given to her by the garden in her hand, and complained in her heart: "The garden is real, why do you have to build a villa in such a remote place!"
Not long ago, Xiaolan had just won the all-Japan karate high school championship, but she was not good at finding her way. In the two-dimensional world, it seems that people with high strength are road blind?
In short, no matter how difficult the process is, Xiaolan still successfully found the villa of the garden family under the leadership of Conan's protagonist template.
Set against the backdrop of a maple grove, the villa has a simple but atmospheric façade, with no fancy asymmetrical designs and no extra angular spires. Divided into three floors, in addition to the main entrance, there are six tall floor-to-ceiling windows on the front of the ground floor.
It can be seen that the owner of the villa was built purely for economic purposes.
Before Xiaolan and Conan found the villa, they were too happy to find it, and their attention was focused on the suspension bridge in front of the villa that connected the cliffs on both sides, and they were attracted by a strange man wearing a cloak on the drawbridge.
The reason why he is called a strange man is because not only is his whole body tightly and completely wrapped in a black cloak, but his head is also wrapped in a thick white bandage, and it is impossible to see his true face.
"This man...... Wouldn't you be going to the villa too?" asked Conan with a trembling voice.
Although Xiaolan is a karate master, ordinary three or five adult men are not her opponents, but she is the most resistant to ghosts and monsters, even if it is a fake ghost legend, Xiaolan will be like a normal girl, scared to the point of weakness.
The strange man glanced back at Xiaolan and them, as if trying to avoid them, and the strange man quickened his pace, and in the blink of an eye, he ran across the suspension bridge and disappeared into the forest behind the garden villa.
There are strange things every year, and this year is especially numerous. Conan, who can encounter strange cases in three days, is no longer surprised by this, and he doesn't take the bandage weird thing to heart.
Coming to the door of the villa, Xiaolan rang the doorbell next to the door.
Yuan Zi quickly ran out and opened the gate, and when he saw Xiaolan, he said angrily: "Why are you so slow! I finally invited you to come to our villa to play, but you are still late." ”
Finding Conan following Xiaolan, Yuanzi was a little dissatisfied with Conan and said, "Conan, why don't you feel embarrassed!"
"Hehe!" Conan laughed dryly on the surface, thinking to himself, "I want you to take care of it!"
"Xiaolan, how inconvenient it is for you to fall in love with this burden!" Yuanzi's big-mouthed personality can't hide secrets at all, and as soon as they met, he told the real purpose of inviting Xiaolan to the villa.
"Falling in love?" Xiaolan asked innocently.
"Yes, we are here today to meet excellent boys, surrounded by nature, to talk about a romantic love!" The expression of the garden made Conan, who was watching from the sidelines, blush a little for her.
If the Suzuki Foundation is one of the largest conglomerates in Japan, there should not be a shortage of suitors around a wealthy daughter like Sonoko, but she can clearly distinguish which people are approaching her to plot against the Suzuki Foundation, rather than being interested in her.
I'd rather be an idiot than fight all day long, which is the lovely thing about the garden.
After the garden welcomed Xiaolan and Conan into the villa, he didn't care about entertaining them, so he said, "Okay, go and put your luggage away, your rooms are on the second floor." I'm going to the kitchen to see how my lady's dinner is going!"
Xiaolan and Yuanzi are best friends, and naturally know their personality of doing whatever their friend thinks, perhaps it is precisely because Yuanzi does not have the temper of the eldest lady of an ordinary rich family that Xiaolan can become good friends with Yuanzi.
Xiaolan was not angry at the garden for "snubbing" herself, she picked up her luggage and took Conan to the second floor of the villa.
As with most villas, the first floor has a hall, kitchen, dining room, etc., while the second floor is entirely occupied with guest rooms.
Looking at the several guest rooms on the left and right, and there were no obvious signs on the doors, Xiaolan didn't know which room the garden had arranged for her.
Xiaolan, who was naturally stupid, didn't think much about it, she used the simplest and most stupid way - to push open the door of the room one by one and look at it.
So, Xiaolan next saw the eye-catching scene of the three boys changing clothes.
In hindsight, Conan commented on Xiaolan's behavior: "Can't you knock on the door before you open the door?"
The Suzuki Foundation's villa was newly built, so Ran only had two neat single beds in her room.
An ordinary oil painting hangs as an embellishment on the wall between the two headboards of the two human beds, and there are no other facilities in the house.
After putting down their small bags, Xiaolan and Conan took a nap in the room for a while, and then went downstairs to enjoy the afternoon tea they had carefully cooked in the garden.
Most people take it for granted that the time for afternoon tea is around 2 to 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Big mistake!
In the true traditional sense of the word, the time should be between three and five o'clock. The most authentic English afternoon tea is set at four o'clock.
Today, because Xiaolan was accidentally lost, she was late, and Yuanzi and the others had to delay the time for afternoon tea a little.
It was almost dinner time, and Sonoko and her sister brought out their own handmade cookies and lemon tea.
At the dinner table, Yuanzi introduced her sister's college classmates to Xiaolan, "They are all members of my sister's college film club, and the relationship between these five people has always been very good, so they come out for a party once a year." ”
"Xiaolan, the handsome guy on your right is Big Brother Ota, who plays the starring role, and is currently working in sales for imported car companies. Conan scrutinized all the suspicious male targets, mentally judging them. "This handsome long-haired guy with a cigarette in his hand and pretending to be cool is either a playboy or a soft eater. This kind of man is the most annoying!"
Naturally, Yuan Zi couldn't hear Conan's heart, and she continued to introduce Xiaolan: "Next to Big Brother Ota is Big Brother Kakutani, who is in charge of photography, and now he is the editor of the film magazine. "Hiroki Kakutani, who has been fiddling with the camera in his hand, although not as handsome as Ota, but gives people a very reliable feeling, and this person Conan also silently kept an eye on it.
"Then there's Big Brother Takahashi, who is in charge of the props, and he currently works for a food company. "Ryoichi Takahashi, a four-eyed boy who is as fat as a fat pig, a good old man who has always maintained a smirk on his face.
"Xiaolan will not fall in love with this kind of man, but it is difficult to ensure that he pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, so it is better to be careful. "A good detective will suspect anyone, and Conan will not let go of such a small probability event.
"Then there's my sister, who is in charge of the work as an actor and is now in graduate school. "Xiaolan had heard Sonoko mention her own sister, Ayako Suzuki, who had a good relationship with her, but today was the first time she had seen a real person.
Unlike the warm and lively feeling of the garden, perhaps it is the relationship of seven years older than the garden, and the ponytail of Ayako Suzuki gives people the sense of intimacy of a big sister next door.
If Xingchen was here, he would definitely put down the coffee milk in his hand and give him a heartfelt compliment to Sister Ayako.
The reason is simple, because Ayako is the only one among the girls present who wears a long skirt.
Throughout the Conan anime, most of the girls' dresses are based on short skirts, miniskirts, and miniskirts.
After watching too much, Xingchen is already a little aesthetically fatigued, and he is still a relatively conservative person in his bones.
"Finally, there is Tomokako Ikeda's sister, who is in charge of directing and writing the screenplay, and the recent movie theater hit "The Blue Kingdom" is from this great writer!"
All five parties in this case have been introduced, and the show is about to be staged!
