In the kitchen, Karasuma Ying quickly chatted with the other two after experiencing the initial nervousness.

The more she communicated, the more she felt that the two people in front of her were simply a natural pair.

Shimizu is gentle and polite, Suzuki Ayako is gentle and kind, no matter what the two talk about, the other person can quickly pick up the conversation, and when they talk about interesting places, they laugh happily together.

Even when it comes to cooking, they seem to have a heart, even if the other party doesn't say it, the other person knows what the other person needs......

A lot of the time, Karasuma Ying just listens to it and feels happy to herself.

It's like a family.

Family......

With her family in mind, Karasuma's gaze suddenly dimmed, and the faint smile on the corner of her mouth disappeared.

"What's wrong? Karasuma-sama? On the side, Shimizu Jing seemed to notice the change in Karasuma Ying and asked with concern.

Even though the relationship between the two is no longer as strange as before, Shimizu still respectfully calls her "Miss Karasuma", rather than "Sister Karasuma" like Ayako Suzuki.

"No, it's nothing, Mr. Shimizu doesn't care." Karasuma Ying smiled at him.

She didn't want to affect the mood of the two because of her own affairs.

"Hmmm......"

Qing Shui Jing glanced at her and didn't ask anything more, but lowered her head and concentrated on cutting the meat on the cutting board.

It took a long time for him to speak.

"People will always continue to grow, and there will always be unsatisfactory places in life, maybe we will find that we will find that the present is good enough."

Qing Shuijing's sudden words were full of philosophy, and they seemed to mean something.

Karasuma Ying was stunned when she heard this, she turned her head to look at Qing Shuijing, her lips slightly open.

"Mr. Shimizu, you ......"

"Oh no! Sister! There are horrific murderers around here, around here! ”

At this moment, Suzuki Sonoko's shouts resounded throughout the villa, and she almost pushed open the door of the villa and rushed all the way to the kitchen, followed by a panting Moriran and Conan.

"Terrorist murderers? Garden, what are you talking about? Ayako Suzuki looked at her sister with a puzzled expression.

"It's a real sister!"

Sonoko Suzuki gasped, danced with her hands, and explained in a voice:

"Just now, Xiao Lan met in the woods, a murderer in a black robe wrapped in bandages, he was about to cut Xiao Lan with an axe, if I hadn't heard the sound and rushed over immediately, I'm afraid Xiao Lan would have ......."

As she spoke, Sonoko Suzuki looked like she was about to cry.

"No, it's not that scary, the garden......"

Mao Lilan hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Suzuki Sonoko, who was about to cry, although she was indeed taken aback at the time.

Conan on the side looked at this scene, put on a dead fish eye, and couldn't help but complain silently in his heart.

[Hey, hey, it should be Xiaolan who was almost hurt, right? ] Why is Xiaolan comforting you? 】

"What's wrong? What happened? ”

Hearing the movement at the kitchen door, Katsu Ota, who had returned to the villa first, also walked down from the room on the second floor.

"Have you seen any strange people in the woods before?"

It was Shizune Shimizu who spoke, and he looked at Katsu Ota, Hiroki Kakutani, and Chikako Ikeda, who had also been to the woods before.

The men had also been to the woods, but had come back before the three of them.

"I don't know, what strange person?" Ota Katsu said suspiciously: "I have been looking for Miss Lan since she was scared away by the thunder, and then I came back by myself before I found her, and I didn't see any strange people along the way......"

"We didn't see any strange people at all, did we?" Hiroki Kakutani looked at Chikako Ikeda behind him.

"We?" Chikako Ikeda glanced at him, "How do I know where you went?" ”

"I—I thought about coming back to get an umbrella because it was raining......

"Umbrella? Could it be that he was afraid of thunder so he ran back? ”

"Chikako?!"

"What?!"

It seems that Chikako Ikeda said it, and Hiroki Kakutani's face turned red, and he looked a little annoyed.

"Alright, alright, you two, don't quarrel anymore." Ayako Suzuki hurriedly came out to comfort the two.

"Sister, didn't you really see it?" Sonoko Suzuki wiped her eyes and said, "I saw that murderer running towards the villa before......"

"To the villa?" Hearing this, Qing Shui quietly bypassed the crowd gathered at the door of the kitchen, walked to the window of the main door, and glanced out of the window.

Not noticing Shizuzu's reaction, Ayako Suzuki shook her head and replied, "No, we were in the kitchen all the time...... By the way, Takahashi, you were just repairing the roof, right? Did you see any strange people at the time? ”

"I didn't see it either......"

Ryoichi Takahashi, who was round in shape, touched his head, and then seemed to think of something, and said, "But speaking of which, when I first came here, it seems that I was indeed on the suspension bridge......"

"Alright, let's go back and rest first."

At this time, Shimizu Shizune suddenly interrupted Ryoichi Takahashi, who was stunned for a moment and looked at him suspiciously.

"The suspension bridge outside has been cut off, and it looks like someone is really trying to do something here."

"Cut off?!" When Conan heard this, he turned around and was about to run out of the villa.

"No need to go, I just saw that there are traces left by knives on the wooden stakes that stabilize the suspension bridge, which were vandalized."

Shimizu silenced Conan.

"What?!"

Hearing Qing Shui Jing's words, the Conan people were going to be stupid.

Shimizu Jing did look out the window just now, but ...... Big brother, you are through a layer of glass, and it is raining outside, and it is getting late, you can actually see the traces of knives on those wooden stakes a hundred meters away?!

What the hell is this eyesight? Is this really scientific?

Not caring about Conan, Shimizu Jing looked at Ayako Suzuki and said, "Ayako, call the police immediately, tell the police about the situation here, and let them deal with this matter." ”

"Okay."

Ayako Suzuki nodded, turned around and hurriedly ran to the position of the landline, but it didn't take long for her to turn to look at Shizu Shizu, a touch of worry and fear on her face.

"Jingjun, the phone can't be called......"

Qing Shui Jing stepped forward when she heard this, and glanced at the landline.

"There is no signal, could it be that the phone line has been cut?"

As she spoke, Qing Shui Jing took out her mobile phone and took a look, perhaps because it was too remote here, and there was no signal either.

"Have the electricity and telephone lines been cut?" At this moment, the mellow Ryoichi Takahashi suddenly grabbed his head with both hands, and his face was full of panic and fear.

"The bandaged man in black, the severed suspension bridge, and the severed telephone line, could it be that weirdo he wants to ......"

"Okay, don't be nervous."

Shimizu Jing interrupted Ryoichi Takahashi again, he put away his phone, looked at everyone, and said:

"While there are a number of worrying things going on right now, at least one thing we know for sure is that the mysterious bandage monster that may exist is not in the villa right now.

There is no doubt about this, except for the three of you in the garden just now, the rest of us are in the villa, logically speaking, it is impossible for outsiders to sneak into the villa quietly, and we are not aware of it.

In this case, after supper tonight, we will go back to our rooms to rest, take care to lock the doors and windows, and then we will go down the mountain together from the path behind the mountain early tomorrow morning to seek help from the police. ”
