Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

Xiao Ai raised four fingers and said.

"As expected of you, Ai-chan. It seems that even reasoning about a case is not difficult for you. Maybe you will become a famous female high school detective in Kanto in the future."

"Let's stop with this kind of flattery. I don't want to be mentioned together with that guy Edogawa... So, who do you think the bandaged guy's target is?"

Xiao Ai glanced at Winnet's face, which was still that smiling poker face.

"Since you said that the girl and I were not his real targets, then there should be some basis for your claim, right?"

"I don't have any basis. After all, I'm not a detective."

Little Sadness tilted her head in confusion.

"I see. It seems your brain is slowly getting rusty."

"The judgment of criminals mainly comes from the inference of criminal psychology. If I don't know his purpose, identity, social composition, and past experience, it will be useless."

Winette shrugged.

"Well, this is the simple-minded and silly girl that I like."

"Silly girl..."

"Isn't there a saying that women in love become fools? You are one of the best."

"hey-hey."

"I'm not praising you..."

Xiao sighed.

"Since I told you to stay by my side, then why don't you come to the kitchen and help, Ai?"

Winnet clapped her hands and suddenly made a decision.

"Asking elementary school students to help will only show how useless adults are. I'd better use the phrase 'I want to understand the cooking process' and watch from the kitchen."

This happened suddenly and the preparations for dinner were delayed. Winette planned to help Ayako prepare it.

After arriving at the villa, everyone except Chikako Ikeda decided to stay in the living room and kill time by playing cards. As for the former, Ayako said that Ikeda was resting in the room and had no plans to eat dinner.

"What a willful woman! In the end, I still have to send her to her door, right?"

Ai said softly before stepping into the kitchen.

Winette took Ayako's emotions into consideration and tried to make the process of helping to prepare the food as cheerful as possible. Fortunately, Xiaolan and Sonoko came along to help, so the whole process was quite lively.

The dishes are divided into individual portions in a Western style, with bread as the main dish and steak, as well as potato salad and stew that can be shared.

Ayako had already prepared the ingredients, and the cooking process was very quick. Despite the incident with the bandaged man, it was still ready in time for dinner.

"I'm so sorry that I need your help, Winnet and Xiaolan."

"No, I usually make it at home."

"I haven't made it in a while, so I hope it's not so rusty that it affects the taste."

Xiaolan and Winnet replied.

Winnett did not lie. During the time when Ai had settled down, she had no intention of touching cooking utensils, let alone knives or guns.

"Really? This class reunion is such a bummer. It seems like everyone has a stern face..."

Ayako had a "pretty good-looking" expression on her face, showing her helplessness.

"Come to think of it, it's all your fault for bringing that up!"

Sonoko complained that the atmosphere changed and turned into this situation after Ayako mentioned Atsuko.

If Ikeda had not suddenly lost his temper at the beginning, the subsequent events would not have happened.

"Are you talking about Atsuko?"

Conan suddenly jumped out and took over the topic. His detective intuition told him that what happened today might be related to Atsuko's matter.

"Yes, the one who died two years ago."

he added.

Xiaolan is better at reading the atmosphere, or perhaps all Japanese people care about this. She frowned and looked at Conan, putting her hand on his head.

"Stop it, Conan."

"Atsuko...she committed suicide two years ago. At that time, she was also a member of our film research club...but one day, she suddenly hanged herself, and we rarely saw each other since then."

"It's been a long time since we last met. I thought it was about time for us to meet, so I took the initiative to call everyone. I also specially invited Winette, hoping to help everyone recall the happy times in the past... I'm so sorry, Winette."

"It's okay with me. I just want to give myself a vacation."

Winette quickly said she didn't care, and Ayako was obviously in a very low mood.

"Please don't mention this matter again, okay, Conan?"

Ayako walked over, squatted down, touched Conan's shoulder and spoke patiently.

"Ah."

Knowing that it would be unkind to continue questioning, Conan nodded in agreement.

However, Atsuko's suicide still gave him a lot of thoughts. Since she committed suicide in front of all the members of the Film Research Society, these members might be related to the reason for her suicide. Perhaps one of them caused her suicide. The most suspicious person was Chikako Ikeda, who was furious when she heard the name "Atsuko".

However, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the bandage monster.

At this time, the door was pushed open.

"I'm so hungry," Ohta and Kadoya came in, "Hey, where's Chikako?"

"She was tired, so she went back to her room to rest."

Ayako immediately stood up and explained.

Takahashi, who was on the second floor, also stuck his head out, holding the dismantled wooden board in his hand.

"Takahashi, dinner is ready."

"Yeah, I'll be right there."

“Is the roof fixed?”

Novel qun㈨㈤○一八○9○九

"Well, it's basically fixed."

Everyone except Takahashi and Ikeda was already seated. While waiting for Takahashi, Kakutani suggested taking a couple of photos of the cute girls.

Without waiting for others' consent, he raised the camera and pointed it at Sonoko and Xiaolan who were sitting together.

The young and beautiful high school girls' response to the photo shoot made Winnet feel ashamed. They stuck together, posed, and smiled naturally.

Click.

Next it was Winette's turn, who sat with Ayako.

"I don't need it, right?"

Winnet wanted to refuse.

"She's only just over 20 years old, and she's a rare beautiful girl!"

Sonoko, who was very keen on taking photos, advised naturally.

Winette couldn't resist Sonoko, and Ayako said, "It's nice to take a photo as a souvenir." Just when she was about to take a photo next to Ayako, Ai rushed in the middle of the seats.

"Speaking of beautiful girls, there is another one here."

"Hahaha, that's right! There's also a beautiful little lady!"

Hiroki Kadotani and Masaru Ota were both amused by what Ai said, and ended up taking a photo with all three of them.

Conan looked at Ai, who was sandwiched between Ayako and Winnet, with a dead look on his face.

Who would brag about being a beautiful girl? Besides, you are not in a position to leave photos casually, right? Conan had a thousand complaints in his mind, but he didn't say it out loud. Maybe the life of an ordinary girl like this is what the other party yearns for... He thought so, but he still had to remind her afterwards not to show the photos to others casually.

By the time the photo shoot was over, Winette was a little worried.

"Takahashi, please come down quickly! The food is getting cold!"

While Ota was reminding Takahashi, Winnett quietly approached Ai and whispered, "Is everything okay?"

"If they can investigate this photo, it means they have begun to suspect that I have become smaller. Moreover, as long as they thoroughly investigate the social network around you, the identity of Huiyuan Ai cannot be hidden at all."

"Although this is the case..."

"Why, do you really want to take a photo alone with another woman?"

"Where is it..."

As the two of them chatted, Winnett felt like there were sparks burning in Ai's eyes.

“Who are you?!”

Suddenly, Takahashi on the second floor spoke loudly.

"what happened?"

"There seems to be someone by the window below."

"By the lower window?"

Kadoya murmured, then picked up the camera and started recording. Everyone echoed Takahashi's words and kept their eyes fixed on the window.

Everyone saw the man with a bandage on his cheek flash past the window holding Chikako Ikeda.

"Chikako!"

Hiroki Kadoya immediately opened the window and looked outside.

"Damn it, it's so dark, I have no idea where he went!"

Ota Katsu said through gritted teeth.

During this gap, Conan once again forgot his identity as an elementary school student and rushed out first. Seeing this, Ota immediately said, "Okay, let's follow that kid too!"

"You girls, lock the doors and windows and wait inside!" Ota continued, "Takahashi, you hurry up too!"

"Ah, I want to go too..."

The three men started running quickly, following Conan.

Ayako, holding the key, began to check the doors and windows. Xiaolan and Sonoko also hurried up to help, leaving Winnet and Ai behind.

"Is it okay for you not to follow the past?"

"Maybe it's just a trick. Compared to them, the girls here need more protection, right?"

The coffin is meant to be a reminder of the old wife

"Oh, girls..."

Xiao Ai deliberately lengthened her tone.

"Yes, the most important girl, I will never leave her side!"

Winnet quickly made amends and changed her words.

Xiao Ai chuckled.

"I'm just kidding. No matter how petty I am, I won't care about this kind of thing. Even if you want to cheat on me, it's okay. I'm just a 'baby with no hair' now anyway."

"Now is not the time to talk about this!"

Winnet bit her lip and her face turned a little red.

Xiao Ai hummed lightly, and seeing Winnet's expression, she was not too worried about what had just happened.

At the same time, the three people holding flashlights caught up with Conan and gave him a flashlight. After running for a distance, because of their short stature, the flashlight's light was dimmer, and Conan discovered a horrible situation -

The part of a woman's calf to her foot.

His eyes widened.

"It's the feet..."

Ota squatted down and saw the reason why Conan stopped.

"Could it be that this is Chikako's..."

As soon as he said this, Takahashi's frightened voice came from the side, "There's a hand here!"
