After confirming that Director Ochiai's desires had settled down again, Lai Qixiao said goodbye to the old man who had a dead wood in spring, and set out on his way home satisfied.

For Lai Qixiao, this is really a good thing that is comforting to him. Director Ochiai is a dutiful museum director, but as he said in the original work, after killing someone, he is like a knight stained with demonic blood in an oil painting, and he is also cursed and corrupted by sin.

Now, Director Ochiai no longer has to choose to take risks out of desperation, which is probably the meaning of the existence of the Phantom of the Strange Thief.

Pack up your mood and come to Qixiao to confirm the current time. According to the information he learned from Sonoko, tomorrow afternoon they will leave for one of Suzuki's mountain houses, where they will attend Sonoko's sister's class reunion. Chikako Ikeda, the next target of Lai Qixiao, will also participate in this class reunion.

This is a good time to send out a warning letter.

On Saturday afternoon, Conan walked with Orchid in the mountains, looking listless.

Because she was afraid that Conan would get lost, Xiaolan was holding his hand firmly. Seeing that Conan didn't look very interested, she quickly frowned lightly and asked thoughtfully.

"What's wrong, Conan? Aren't you happy? ”

"I'm not unhappy! I'm really happy to be able to hang out with Sister Xiaolan! Conan hurriedly squeezed out a stiff smile, relying on his immature child's face to cover up his clumsy acting skills, and successfully put Xiaolan at ease.

In fact, as Ran suspected, Conan had no interest in the trip. According to Xiaolan, this time they are going to participate in Sister Yuanzi's class reunion.

Why did Sister Yuanzi's classmates invite Xiaolan, an outsider? Conan didn't use his mind to know that this must be a ghost made by the garden, and if you contact the personality of the garden, this party will most likely become a sorority for men and women.

Really, that nymphomaniac in the garden! Conan secretly shouted in his heart, although he had no interest in this kind of boring sorority, he thought that he had an obligation to protect Xiaolan, his childhood sweetheart, from some males with bad intentions, so he also followed Xiaolan to the mountains.

As for what kind of man is "ill-intentioned"? The answer is that any man who wants to get close to Xiaolan can be listed as a target of suspicion. This standard was jointly developed by Shinichi Kudo, a childhood friend from Maoliran, and Conan Edogawa, a child who lives with her, to ensure authority!

"By the way, Sister Xiaolan." Conan raised his little face and looked at Xiaolan, who was frowning and meditating on the map, "We can't be lost, right?" ”

"No way, I remember that villa was nearby!" Xiaolan forced a smile with some embarrassment, "Let's look for it again, maybe we will get to the destination after a detour!" ”

It seems that before defeating those wild bees and butterflies that may be eyeing Xiaolan, you must first defeat the complicated mountain road. Conan sighed as he took the map from Orchid and helped her find the right way.

With Conan's help, it didn't take long for the two to find the right path and successfully reach a drawbridge.

"Conan, look!" Xiaolan pointed to the luxury villa across the bridge and shouted excitedly, "After crossing this bridge, you will arrive at the location of this party!" ”

The Suzuki family is really wealthy, and they actually built such a luxurious villa in the mountains. Isn't it theirs to have the whole mountain? Conan sighed in his heart about the wealth of the garden family, and at the same time dealt with the excited Xiaolan in a child's tone.

"Conan, there's still a guy on the drawbridge!" Xiaolan patted Conan's head, and the two looked at the black-robed figure on the suspension bridge together, wondering if he was also a guest at the party.

At this moment, the black-robed man on the drawbridge turned his head as if sensing their gaze, revealing his face with a dense bandage under his cloak.

After this frightening glance, the black-robed monster took a vigorous step and quickly left the drawbridge, as if in the nearby jungle.

"That wasn't a hallucination, was it, Conan?"

"Hmm...... Probably not, right? ”

…………

"A guest with a bandage on his face? There's no such weirdo as you say! ”

After entering the villa, Xiaolan and Conan visited the villa under the guidance of the garden. During this period, Xiaolan also tried to ask the garden about the strange bandage man, but she never found anything. Suddenly, she began to wonder if she had hallucinated earlier.

But Conan, who also witnessed the bandage man, didn't feel dazzled, and he immediately had an ominous premonition and began to consciously observe his surroundings. The detective's professional habits tell him that something unusual must happen here tonight!

Just as Conan was pondering, a scream from Xiaolan suddenly came from the second floor. He hurriedly woke up from his thoughts, pulled up his legs and went up to the second floor.

"It's okay, Sister Xiaolan...... What are you doing? ”

Thinking that Xiaolan was in danger, he rushed to the second floor, but saw Xiaolan apologizing to a half-open door with a red face. Conan stepped forward suspiciously, only to find out that it was Xiaolan who had gone to the wrong room and happened to see other male guests changing clothes.

The same scene happened twice in a row after Conan went upstairs, and it was only after the upper bodies of the three male guests at the party were all seen by Xiaolan that she finally found her room.

Really, you didn't know to knock on the door before you went in? After a false alarm, Conan patted his head speechlessly, and had a new understanding of his childhood sweetheart's recklessness.

What Conan didn't know was that in one of the rooms that had just been opened by Xiaolan, a man was beating in horror because of the unexpected situation just now.

This man's name is Ryoichi Takahashi, and he is not here today for a party, but to kill someone.

"Damn, who was that woman just now? I didn't hear that there were outsiders at this party! ”

"She wouldn't have seen my size, would she? No, probably not, she only glanced at me once or twice in total, and she wouldn't be exposed so easily! But...... What if it is exposed? ”

"Damn, I should have locked the door! It's obviously planned to get to this point, and it's clear that everything is ready, how can there be such a mistake! ”

"Are you going to give up on this operation? No, how can it! Atsuko is still waiting for me to avenge her! If you miss today, you'll never have such a great opportunity again! ”

"If that girl finds out about my flaws after killing someone...... No, I can't let that happen! ”
