A red sun sank on the surface of the lake of sorrow, and I don't know if the sunset stained the lake red, or if it was really as Hattori Heiji thought, someone cast a magical spell at the bottom of the lake, so that the lake gradually turned red.

"Lake...... How did the lake turn to this color? What's going on?! Hattori exclaimed after rubbing his eyes vigorously to make sure he was not mistaken.

Eiji Tono's face showed a trace of uncertain emotion, he looked at the red lake, and said slowly: "A long time ago, there was a very loving man and a woman in the village near here, but unfortunately...... For some reason, no matter how much they love each other, they can't be united. After being tortured, the two agreed to continue their relationship in the next life, and then committed suicide by throwing themselves into the lake. Since then, when it is time for them to throw themselves into the lake, the lake will be dyed red with their affection. This is the legend of the Lake of Sorrow, and as the name suggests, it is a love affair that ends in martyrdom. ”

"It's really a sad story, obviously so in love but can't last long, hey, it's really pitiful." Kakizaki Sayuri sighed, as a person who only reads pure sugar when she reads shoujo manga, she really can't accept the story of the end of martyrdom.

Most of them had sad expressions, but only Hattori Heiji and Fujiwara Yo were different.

The former, as an atheist, naturally does not believe in such legends without scientific basis, and the latter is not interested because he knows why the lake turns red.

Fujiwara Yu put one hand in his pocket and pinched the empty cigarette case, and said with an indifferent expression: "But if you know the water splash and the red tide, you won't say that the red water of the lake is related to affection, this is just a natural phenomenon, and it has nothing to do with this boring story." ”

“？” What kind of special ability is it to successfully break the atmosphere of grief and love in one sentence, Hattori Heiji secretly gave Sosuke Eagle a thumbs up, worthy of his Brother Eagle Division, and the slap in the face was a great success.

Eiji Tono didn't feel embarrassed, he smiled and put his hands behind his back, and said in a brisk tone: "Mr. Takaji is really well-informed, but I'm quite interested in this knowledge, otherwise you can tell me what a red tide is, right?" ”

"Yes." Heiji Hattori didn't expect Sosuke Takaji to be given by Eiji Tono, who looked hypocritical

"Hook up" left, he pressed the baseball cap buckled on his head in wonder, looked at He Ye next to him and said, "Let's go for a walk around the neighborhood too?" Don't you want to see the scenery? ”

"Huh? Okay! Kakizaki Sayuri was a little helpless when she saw this, but thinking of the task she had come here, she quickly took out the Canon film camera from her camera bag and began to take pictures of the red lake - she didn't care about the legend of the lake and natural phenomena, such a relatively rare situation can be recorded in the form of photos.

She beckoned to Masami Saito, who was absent-minded on the side, and said with a smile: "Masami, why don't you stand by the lake and I'll take a picture of you?" However, her proposal was not answered for a long time, and she turned her head to notice that her best friend was staring in a daze in the direction where Mr. Takaji was gone, like a beautiful lookout stone.

Kakizaki Sayuri, who has a big personality and a straight steel woman's brain, really didn't understand why she didn't chase this matter if she liked it, she put away the film camera and grabbed Masami's arm, and said seriously: "Since you care so much, why don't you take the initiative?" Don't wait until he doesn't belong to you and regret it. Miyano Akemi couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, her careful thinking about being pierced did not bring a sense of shyness, but she lowered her head and was a little overwhelmed, she was not a timid person, otherwise she would not have said it at the beginning

The phrase "Can I still come to you later". She has a lot of things to worry about, and she's in the organization...... If you really go for what you want, you will not only delay the task that Fujiwara-kun has to perform, but may even become a burden.

This is not what Akemi Miyano wants to see, at least now is not the time to fall in love, she is more sober than anyone else.

"Thank you for your concern, but I think it's good to maintain the status quo, I haven't seen him for a few years, and I don't know if he has changed."

"Please, he directly refused to help me carry my luggage just now, but when he saw that you were in trouble, he just shot without saying a word!" Kakizaki Sayuri pinched his throat to make his voice as masculine as possible, and deliberately mimicked the cold-sounding tone of Sosuke Takasaki: "No, the road is uneven." ”

"Okay, you're just trying to tease me, aren't you?"

"I'm reluctant to tease my big baby, let's not talk about him, let's go over there and take a few photos and go back, didn't Mr. Kujo say that the dinner party will start at eighteen o'clock? Hurry up! ”

"yes, okay." - There were still a few minutes to go until eighteen o'clock, and the last person to arrive at the central cabin of the campsite was Yosuke Goki, a self-proclaimed freelance writer, who said that he got lost while wandering around the neighborhood and came back late.

Shotaro Kujo, who was preparing an ice bucket for everyone, heard this, frowned and put down the ice bucket, and said in a serious tone: "Mr. Goki, it's getting late and don't go to the forest, after all, this place is not open yet, and there are no security personnel, so it will be difficult for all of us to find you when you get lost." ”

"Hahahaha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll punish myself with a drink, right?" Yosuke Goki directly picked up the wine in his illness, and knocked the top of the wine bottle on the table with a rude movement, and the purple-red liquid splashed out directly after the bottle mouth was broken, if it weren't for the speed of Sayuri Kawanishi on the side to dodge fast enough, her little white dress would have been scrapped.

Yosuke Goki, who has no eyesight and no emotional intelligence at all, directly picked up the empty wine glass on the table, poured wine into it as if he was afraid that he could only drink one glass, and then drank it all in one go, and burped.

"Hiccup! Hahahaha, this wine tastes really good, Mr. Kujo, your travel agency is really bloody. Seiko Kayama, who was huddled on the same sofa with her husband, showed a disgusted expression, she was most annoyed by this kind of drinking wine as an ordinary drink, and the way of drinking was so rude that it was not elegant at all.

Kujo Shotaro reluctantly poured wine for everyone, as for the bottle of wine that I don't know if it was mixed with glass slag, no one dared to touch it, which is also as Goki Yosuke's intention, can enjoy the wine alone.

Fujiwara didn't like to dine with strangers, so he chose to sit in the corner and listen to their chat, rather than tasting most of the food on the table, mainly because he was worried that Yosuke Goki would spew saliva into the food, so he only ate the vegetable pizza and croquettes that were placed in front of him.

Perhaps worried that he would spoil everyone's interest, he got up and planned to go outside to blow the night breeze and see if White had sent the relevant information.

As soon as he got up, the voice of a male announcer suddenly came from the audio machine next to him.

"Now for the temporary news, in the early hours of this morning, a condemned prisoner escaped from the Shinanomachi Prison in Nagano Prefecture. The death row prisoner's name is Taketo Tomaru, 35 years old, who killed more than a dozen villagers in the village of Omiya City, Saitama Prefecture 10 years ago...... "The faces of the people present changed after hearing the news, and Eiji Tono hurriedly walked to the radio and turned it off, worried that such news would make everyone fall into a nervous and fearful mind.

Toyama and Ha thought that her location was within the confines of Shinano Town, and she leaned back to Hattori Heiji worriedly, feeling that only in this way could she feel safe.

Hattori frowned similarly, he always felt that something was too coincidental, why did the death row prisoner escape happen to be near them?

Fujiwara Yu silently observed the changes in everyone's expressions, he pushed open the door and said bluntly, "It's not early, I'll go back and rest first." ”

"Ah, it's really not early, so let's end today."

"Huh? I haven't had enough yet! If any of you want to continue drinking, come to my room, if it's a beautiful girl, I'm even more welcome hahahahaha! Fujiwara Yu, who walked out of the hall, did not rush back to the wooden house where he lived, but deliberately lingered for a while to make sure that Akemi Miyano and Kakizaki Sayuri walked into the wooden house opposite the hall through Kobashi, and then turned around and walked towards the wooden house where he was.

It's impossible to say that he doesn't care about what's on the radio, but he always feels that behind it all there is an invisible hand that controls their actions...... Whether it's getting a free sightseeing qualification, or gathering around to hear the news of the escape of a death row prisoner, it always feels like it's not that simple.

Hopefully, he's just thinking a little too much, and he doesn't want to do police duties on his vacation.
