Chapter 20 The Forgotten Members of the Electric Research Society

"Brother Youyi is really amazing! Career is not so easy to pass, not to mention that the comics drawn are favored by powerful publishing companies like the University Hall, which is simply a template for winning in life! Like me, I'm still working as an editor in this unknown film magazine! That's right, Jikako! Is the script for the next movie written? Don't forget my old friend and reveal some exclusive insider information! ”

"Hahaha! Kakutani! Don't make a fuss! It's incredible to have the fame I have now! Screenwriters aren't that good! But are you obsessed with photography? I'm all editors, and I'm shooting this thing everywhere! ”

"Yes! Addicted! I want to take him everywhere, Takahashi! I haven't seen you for more than two years, you've gained too much weight, haven't you? Didn't anyone remind you to lose weight? Beware of turning into a pig! Hahaha! ”

"Where, where? It's only 100 kilograms! ”

"That's it? You guy! It's already a pig! ”

"Hahaha!"

"That's great! It's only when I face you that I think of the beauty of college! If only Atsuko were there! Looking at the classmates sitting together laughing and laughing, Ayako couldn't help but sigh after placing a plate of fruit on the coffee table, but with her unintentional exclamation, the originally lively and cheerful living room instantly cooled down.

"Don't say it again, don't talk about Atsuko anymore!"

"Chikako? I'm sorry! Looking at Chikako, who suddenly reacted violently, Ayako, who was standing in place and was a little helpless, couldn't help but apologize guiltily.

"It's okay! It's not your fault, Ayako! It's me who is too aggressive! I just don't want someone who's been dead for two years to bother us again! After all, now that we're all out of school, it's not easy to get together! Don't talk about these unhappy things! ”

"Yo! Now it's a celebrity! It's all the same! As soon as Zhijiazi's words fell, Ota, who was sitting and smoking on the side, screamed in a strange way.

"Ota! What do you mean? ”

"It's not interesting! I just can't get used to it! ”

"Alright, alright! Everyone is free to move around before dinner! No restraints, please! Don't be angry, okay? Seeing that the scene was a little uncontrollable, the guilt on Ayako's face became even stronger, and she couldn't help but plead with the two who were getting more and more angry.

"Humph! For Ayako's sake, the old lady doesn't care about you today! I'm going out for a walk! You guys have fun! Seeing Ayako's dilemma, Chikako snorted coldly and lit a lady's cigarette and turned around and walked out of the villa.

"Hey! Chikako! Wait for me! I'll be with you! Seeing that Tomokako, the only one who might have a business relationship with her, turned around and left, Kakutani smiled apologetically at the rest of the people and chased him out with a camera.

"Cut! A minion look! You deserve to be behind the scenes for the rest of your life! After seeing Tomoko and Kakutani leave one after another, Ota, who had no one to quarrel, also dispersed the smoke around him, turned around and sat on the sofa and smoked.

Looking at such an embarrassing scene, Takahashi touched his head and looked left and right and immediately proposed, "When I came, I seemed to have heard the weather forecast that there would be heavy rain tonight!" I'm going to check the roof, otherwise it will be a lot of trouble if it rains for a while! ”

"That, Lan! Brother Youyi! How about we go out and walk around? After all, I'm here for a vacation! The air here is so good! It's a pity not to go out and go around! Let's go! Let's go! Sonoko, who also couldn't stand the atmosphere of the living room, laughed dryly and pulled Xiaolan and Conan out of the living room, but Yuichi refused to go with him because he was suddenly unwell. He had to sit down and analyze what had just happened, because he had a hunch. The murder is about to happen here, and the cause of this murder is likely to be this woman named Atsuko.

Thinking about the strange bandage weirdos I met on the suspension bridge when I came today, I just chatted with everyone at random and unexpectedly found that everyone had seen it when I came, but no one admitted that it was a clue that he was pretending, and with the vague memory of the Conan anime in his memory, Yuichi had reason to believe that this bandage man was definitely related to the murder. If the cause is Atsuko, then this bandage man must be someone in this group of film research clubs, which means that someone is lying.

When he came back to his senses after being burned by the cigarette that had burned between his fingers in his contemplation, Ota, who was sitting in the hall smoking like him, no longer knew where to go, thinking that it was not suitable for Yuichi to search other people's bedrooms in this situation, after thinking about it, he extinguished the cigarette butt and walked towards the kitchen, whether it was the sense of mission brought by the cherry blossom badge on his body by Maori Kogoro to take care of Xiaolan or the sense of mission brought by the cherry blossom badge on his body, Yuichi felt that he had to prevent the tragedy before the murder happened, And the only one who can untie this knot is Ayako Suzuki, who has just suddenly lifted Atsuko.

"Miss Ayako! Does it bother you? After standing at the kitchen door and knocking on the open door, he saw Ayako, who was washing vegetables with his back to him, turned around, and Yuichi asked a little embarrassed.

"Ahh It's Brother Youyi! No no! Aren't you going to play with them? I'm here enough, don't worry! If you're hungry, the meal will be ready in no time! Seeing Yuichi standing at the door, after wiping her hands nervously, Ayako explained embarrassedly.

"Nope! Feel relieved! I'm not here for these! I'm just here to get to know the guy who just silenced everyone, the same classmate Atsuko who died two years ago that you mentioned! I don't know why all of you are so tight-lipped about it, but I'm very interested in this matter because I've been a little stuck in my comic thinking lately, and maybe it will help me! I just don't know if Ayako is willing to help me with this! ”

"Alas!" Hearing Yuichi's inquiry, Ayako sighed and leaned against the sink in the kitchen and shook her head with a wry smile, "Actually, there's nothing to hide!" It's just that for us college students, it's always difficult to calm down when the people around us die suddenly.,Atsuko is the same as us from the Electric Research Society.,One day two years ago, she suddenly committed suicide.,Hanged herself in the Electric Research Society.,Since then, the Electric Research Institute has been disbanded.。 And we graduated and left the school, never to see each other again. This time, I struggled to bring everyone together, but I didn't expect it! I screwed it all up again myself! ”

"Two years ago, did you suddenly commit suicide? Or is it in the Denken Society? After shaking his head and telling Ayako that she couldn't be blamed for this, Yuichi who got this brief information leaned aside and thought about it, but these clues were useless at all, and Yuichi who couldn't activate the detective system before the murder happened could only rely on his own efforts to collect.

Hand over a tissue, and when Ayako's mood was completely stable, she thought about a few possibilities in her heart and continued to ask, "Ayako!" Do you have a good relationship with Atsuko in private? That is to say, in addition to being friends of the Electric Research Society, do you have any other contact similar to girlfriends? ”

"Nope! Although there are only three of us girls among the main personnel of our Electric Research Society, I am different from them because of family reasons and responsible understanding, so compared to me! The relationship between Zhijiazi and Atsuko is better, after all, they are both screenwriters of our Electric Research Agency! ”

"Screenwriter? Atsuko is also a screenwriter? ”

"Hmmm! Jikako is mainly responsible for being a director, and the screenwriter is only part-time! Atsuko is the one in charge of our screenwriting! ”

"Oh? Is it? What about the rest? For example, is there anyone pursuing Atsuko in the Denken Society? Or does anyone have a conflict with Atsuko? No matter how bad it is, did you hear anything strange about Atsuko before she committed suicide? Yuichi, who felt that he was still so far from the truth, couldn't help but ask again.

"Atsuko is actually a bit introverted, so like Ota, they don't actually like her type of girl very much, if it's a contradiction, it's impossible to have it, Atsuko is a very kind person! Even if I have a conflict with someone, she can't have a conflict with someone! As for the strange words, I don't know! After all, she couldn't have said these things to me! If you have to say it, Takahashi, who is the same kind of person as her, may have some news, right? After all, if you have to be a relationship, except for Chikako, Takahashi has had more contact with her. ”

"Really? Tomokako and Takahashi? Thank you, Ayako......"

"Ah!!!h Just as Yuichi was about to say something to Ayako, suddenly a familiar cry came from the woods outside the villa.

"Damn! It's Xiaolan! Yuichi, who reacted in his head, didn't care about anything else, opened the kitchen window and jumped out, but he promised Maori Kogoro to take care of Xiaolan. What's more, Xiaolan may be the wife of Shinichi's bastard in the future.
