Chapter 19: The Strange Bandaged Man
"Brother Youyi! Haven't arrived yet? ”
"It's coming! Soon! Following the directions on the map, the villa that the garden invited us to go to was about to arrive! Xiaolan, don't worry! When I was in the United States, I was known as a human navigator! ”
"Really? Brother Youyi is really amazing! ”
"Of course! Hahaha! A mountain can't bother me! ”
"Huh! You can blow as much as you want! Also human flesh navigator? I don't know who went out to buy things when they were young and couldn't find a home! Looking at Yuichi who was holding a tourist map in one hand, looking left and right and turning back from time to time to give Xiaolan a reliable smile, Conan, who was pretending to be a primary school student, could only slander in his heart in front of Xiaolan.
Just when Conan was quietly slandering in his heart, in fact, he guessed the same as Conan in his heart, and Yuichi suddenly roared excitedly, "Hahaha!" Villa! We're here! I really did! Oh my god! I can't pretend to be able to find it anymore! ”
Conan: "......"
Xiaolan: "......"
After feeling the two pairs of murderous eyes behind him, Yuichi, who was inspired to move, changed the topic with a haha, "Wow! Xiaolan! Conan! Look, it's so high! ”
"Hmmm! Oh, yes! Brother Youyi! This doesn't matter, let's talk about your human navigator! Faced with Yuichi's such a hard distraction topic, Xiaolan, who remembered that she had followed this bastard around the woods for hours, squeezed her fist and reminded her in a gentle tone.
"Aha! Anyway, it's here! As long as you arrive, then you can say anything! Just a little detour, young man! Just exercise more! Look at the air in the woods, there is a sweet smell wafting away! If you look at the suspension bridge in front of you, there is a thrilling feeling when you stand on it, and you look at the person standing on the suspension bridge in a daze...... Hey? What a strange guy! Is this cosplay? ”
"Brother Youyi! What a terrible way you changed the subject! This and quick look there are flying saucers! Hey, who's behind you? And it's called the three worst ways to shift the topic, don't you know? Seeing Youyi staring at the suspension bridge intently, in fact, Xiaolan, who was just complaining and didn't really have the idea of doing anything, pouted dissatisfiedly, and took Conan, who was also complaining frantically in his heart, to take a few steps to catch up.
However, when Xiaolan and Conan stood next to Youyi, a strange bandaged man wearing a hood and only a pair of eyes exposed by a bandage happened to turn around and stare at the vicious gaze.
"Ahh There really are strange people! Still a bandage man! That person wouldn't have gone to the villa too, would he? After subconsciously taking a step back, Xiaolan hid behind Youichi and asked in a whisper.
"Maybe! Didn't Sonoko introduce that day that it was a gathering attended by her sister's friends from the film research club when she was in college? Maybe one of them deliberately dressed up like this to scare everyone! I heard that people who engage in art are scared, and after they are frightened, they tend to bring themselves into their own works and become nervous! Maybe what's going to happen to this villa tonight in my evening? In the wilderness, uninhabited villas, mysterious men who disappear in a flash, weak and cute middle school girls! You have all the materials you need for a horror movie! ”
"Brother Youyi! Die! After knocking out Yuichi, who was deliberately scaring him, he raised his little fist to show that he was not weak, and Xiao Lan pulled Conan and walked towards the villa in a huff.
Looking at the gloating eyes of Conan who let you scare Xiaolan when he passed by, Yuichi, who rubbed his head, looked at the villa in the shadows not far away and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "When I'm scaring you?" If I'm not mistaken, as long as you go out with Conan, you bastard, there won't be any good things, I don't know that I pity the second boy set by the Grim Reaper, you still have time to gloat over me? There are times when you look good! ”
When Youichi turned around the suspension bridge, the villa telephone line, and the surroundings of the villa, confirmed that there was no problem, and knocked on the villa door with a sigh of relief for the time being, the frightened Xiaolan had already found her room with Conan after a series of troubles, and after settling down, she was still kicking in her heart, and she was taking Conan to visit the villa with the garden. So of course, the one who opened the door to Yuichi was Ayako Suzuki, the sister of the garden.
"Miss Ayako! I'm sorry to bother! After all, this is your class reunion, and I was so happy that day that I agreed to it without holding back. I thought that the garden was just a casual remark, but I didn't expect her to call Xiaolan again yesterday, and I didn't worry that her Maori uncle, who was going out alone, asked me again, so I ......"
"It's okay, Brother Youyi! It's just a gathering of friends and a meal together! Nothing special! You and Xiaolan are still more lively! Hurry up and change your shoes and come in and sit. A pair of squinting eyes, smiling, and having a Yamato Nadeshiko temperament, Ayako shook her head and said that she didn't mind, and immediately welcomed Yuichi into the villa enthusiastically.
By the time Yuichi, the last person to arrive, had finished changing his shoes, the other people who had already arrived had already packed up their rooms and walked down from the accommodation area on the second floor one by one.
"Is everyone packed up? Yes! Brother Youyi has also arrived! In this case, all the people are together! So as the master of ceremonies for this party, I will introduce you to each other! First of all, my sister's side, they were all my sister's friends at the school film research club when she was in college, and they would meet almost every two years, and this time it was my sister who organized it! So Miss Ben has already met a few handsome guys in advance, first of all, Senior Ota, he has always been the male protagonist in the Electric Research Society! ”
"Hello! My name is Katsu Ota, and it's a pleasure to meet the beauty of the garden and a few of you! This is my business card, please smile! With the introduction of the garden, a handsome man with a shawl and a hair cover, and a cigarette in his hand greeted Yuichi and them with a smile on his face.
"Imported car salesman?" After quietly glancing at the business card handed to him, Yuichi also greeted the other party with a smile on his face.
"This is Senior Kakutani! He was a photographer and he was in charge of all the stunt photography when he was in school! ”
"Hey! Hiroki Kakutani, who is currently the editor of a film magazine! Please look after me in the future! With the introduction of the garden, a guy who had been holding the camera in his hand removed his face from behind the camera and gently greeted Yuichi and them.
"This is Senior Takahashi! When he was in school, he was in charge of props! ”
"You, hello...... Hey, hey, hey! With the introduction of the garden, a little fat man with a round face and glasses, and a belly that was about to fight with Maitreya Buddha greeted Youyi and them with an embarrassed face.
"The men have all been introduced, and the first thing to introduce the ladies is my sister, but there's nothing to introduce, Xiaolan, Brother Youyi, you've all met, Ayako Suzuki! At school, she was in charge of clothing production, and she is still a graduate student, but I will tell you secretly! She is looking for a husband, and I believe that you will be able to drink her wedding wine soon! ”
"Garden!"
"Hahaha! Don't be embarrassed! Sister! Well, no more teasing you! The next one to introduce is amazing, Tomokako Ikeda! When she was in school, she was in charge of film director and screenwriter, and she was also the president of the Film Research Club at that time! The Teal Kingdom, which is currently being shown on TV, is a script she wrote when she was in college! ”
"Wow! That's amazing! I've been chasing this drama every day lately! You ......"
After Xiaolan finished worshipping Tomokako Ikeda, she continued to introduce with a dry cough of satisfaction with the proud garden.
"My sister's side has been introduced, so the next thing is my side, Maolilan! My high school classmate and best friend! ”
"Hello everyone! I'm really sorry for what happened just now, I was so reckless! Excuse me! After greeting everyone with the introduction of the garden, Xiaolan apologized for the reckless thing she had just done.
"It's okay! We didn't suffer, did we? Hahaha! Looking at Xiaolan's apologetic eyes, Ota waved his hand indifferently and looked at Kakutani and Takahashi and laughed.
"Yes! It's okay! You didn't mean to! Kakutani and Takahashi, who saw Ota speak, smiled equally and said it didn't matter.
After the misunderstanding between Xiaolan and the three boys on the second floor was resolved, Yuan Zi continued to introduce, "This little ghost is called Conan, and there is nothing to introduce!" is staying at Xiaolan's house.,It's a troublesome little ghost.,Like reasoning.,Play detective games! ”
"Hey! You're too hasty with that, isn't it? I can obviously feel the difference between myself and others! Especially! The tone has changed! Eight women in the garden, is it really good for you to treat them differently like this? I'm still a kid! After glancing at the garden beside him with an expressionless face, Conan strongly expressed his displeasure with his dead fish eyes, but to no avail.
After quickly introducing Conan, the tone of the introduction that ran to the garden next to Yui changed again, "As for this one!" It's our star! Yuichi Kudo! The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department searches a section of the police department.,At the same time, I'm also a cartoonist who has just signed a contract with the University Building! Officer Kudo's incident book, which has now begun to catch fire, was drawn by him! ”
"What?" With the introduction of the garden, except for Xiaolan, Conan and Ayako, who already knew Yuichi's identity, the other four couldn't help but show shocked expressions.
"Hahaha! It's not as exaggerated as the garden said.,Comics are just my hobby since I was a child.,Being a police officer is just to make a living.。 Actually, I'm just an ordinary person. After tidying up his casual clothes, Yuichi smiled modestly.
