In the kitchen, Karasumaying quickly started chatting with the other two after experiencing the initial nervousness.
The more they communicated, the more she felt that the two people in front of her were a perfect match.
Qing Shuijing is gentle and polite, and Suzuki Ayako is gentle and kind. No matter what they are talking about, the other person can quickly pick up the conversation, talk about something interesting, and laugh happily together.
Even when it comes to cooking, they seem to have a mutual understanding. Even if the other person doesn't say it, the other person knows what the other person needs...
Many times, Karasuma Ying would feel very happy just by listening.
This feeling is like a family.
family……
As her family appeared in her mind, Karasumaying's eyes suddenly dimmed, and the faint smile at the corner of her mouth disappeared.
"What's wrong? Miss Karasuma?" On the side, Qing Shuijing seemed to have noticed the changes in Karasuma Ying and asked with concern.
Even though the relationship between the two is no longer as strange as before, Shimizu Shizu still calls her "Miss Karasuma" politely, instead of calling her "Sister Karasuma" like Ayako Suzuki does.
"No, it's nothing. Don't worry about Mr. Qingshui." Karasuma Ying smiled at him.
She didn't want to affect the mood of the two of them because of her own affairs.
"Um……"
Qing Shuijing glanced at her and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she lowered her head and concentrated on cutting the meat on the cutting board.
After a long time, he spoke leisurely.
"People will always continue to grow, and there will always be unsatisfactory parts of life. Maybe when we look back, we will find that the present is good enough."
Qing Shuijing's sudden words were full of philosophy and seemed to mean something.
Karasuma Ying was stunned when she heard this. She turned her head to look at Qing Shuijing, her lips slightly opened.
"Mr. Qingshui, you..."
"Oops! Sister! There is a terrorist murderer near here!"
At this moment, Suzuki Sonoko's shouts resounded throughout the villa. She almost pushed open the door of the villa and rushed all the way to the kitchen, followed by the panting Mao Lilan and Conan.
"Terrorist murderer? Sonoko, what are you talking about?" Suzuki Ayako looked at her sister with confusion.
"It's a real sister!"
Suzuki Sonoko panted, danced, and explained in a eloquent voice:
"Just now, Xiaolan met a murderer wearing a black robe and bandages in the woods. He was going to chop Xiaolan with an axe. If I hadn't heard the sound and rushed over immediately, I'm afraid Xiaolan has already...already..."
As he talked, Suzuki Sonoko looked like he was about to cry.
"No, it's not that scary, Sonoko..."
Mao Lilan quickly stepped forward to comfort Suzuki Sonoko who was about to cry, although she was indeed shocked at the time.
Conan on the side looked at this scene with dead eyes, and couldn't help but complain silently in his heart.
[Hey, hey, hey, Xiaolan should be the one who was almost hurt, right? Why is Xiaolan comforting you? 】
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Hearing the movement at the kitchen door, Ota Katsuki and others who 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?"
The one who spoke was Shimizu Shizu. He looked at Ota Masaru, Kakutani Hiroki and Ikeda Chikako who had also been to the woods before.
These people also went to the woods, but they came back before the three Maolilan people.
"I don't know, what kind of strange person?" Ota Sheng said doubtfully: "I have been looking for Miss Lan since she was scared away by the thunder. Later, when I didn't find her, I came back by myself. I didn't see anyone along the way. What a strange person..."
"We didn't see any strange people at all, right Chikako?" Hiroki Kakutani looked at Chikako Ikeda behind him.
"Us?" Chikako Ikeda glanced at him, "How do I know where you went?"
"I-I saw it was going to rain, so I thought I would come back to get an umbrella..."
"Get an umbrella? Could it be that you ran back because you were afraid of thunder?"
"Chikako?!"
"what?!"
It seemed that Chikako Ikeda was right, Hiroki Kakutani's face turned red, and he looked a little angry.
"Okay, okay, you two, stop arguing." Suzuki Ayako quickly came out to comfort the two of them.
"Sister, did you really not see it?" Suzuki Sonoko wiped her eyes and said, "I clearly saw the murderer running towards the villa before..."
"Towards the villa?" Qing Shuijing heard this, bypassed the crowd surrounding the kitchen door, walked to the window of the main entrance, and took a look out the window.
Not noticing Qing Shuijing's reaction, Suzuki Ayako shook her head and replied: "No, we were in the kitchen all the time... By the way, Takahashi, you were repairing the roof just now, right? Did you see anything strange at that time? People?"
"I didn't see it either..."
The chubby Takahashi Ryoichi touched his head, and then seemed to have thought of something, and said: "But speaking of it, when I first came here, I did seem to be on the suspension bridge..."
"Okay, everyone, let's go back and rest first."
At this time, Qing Shuijing suddenly interrupted Takahashi Ryoichi, who was stunned for a moment and looked at him doubtfully.
"The suspension bridge outside has been cut off. It seems that someone really wants to do something here."
"Been cut off?!" Hearing this, Conan turned around and ran out of the villa.
"There's no need to go. I've just seen it. There are marks left by knives on the wooden piles that stabilize the suspension bridge. They were vandalized."
Qing Shuijing stopped Conan.
"What?!"
Hearing Qing Shuijing's words, everyone in Conan was stunned.
Qing Shuijing did look out the window just now, but... Brother, you were separated by a layer of glass, and it was still raining outside, and it was getting late, and you were able to see clearly those wooden piles a hundred meters away. Marks of cuts on the knife? !
What the hell kind of vision is this? Is this really scientific?
Ignoring Conan, Qing Shuijing looked at Suzuki Ayako and said, "Ayako, call the police immediately, tell the police about the situation here, and let them handle this matter."
"good."
Suzuki Ayako nodded, turned around and ran quickly to the location of the phone. However, not long after, she turned around and looked at Qing Shuijing, with a look of worry and fear on her face.
"Jingjun, I can't make a call..."
Qing Shuijing stepped forward after hearing the words and glanced at the phone.
"There's no signal. Could it be that the phone line was cut off?"
With that said, Qing Shuijing took out her mobile phone and took a look. Maybe it was because it was too remote, but there was also no signal.
"Have the electricity and telephone lines been cut off?" At this moment, the mellow Ryoichi Takahashi suddenly scratched his head with both hands, his face full of panic and fear.
"The man in black with the bandage, the severed suspension bridge, and the severed telephone line. Could it be that that weirdo wants to..."
"Okay, don't be nervous."
Qing Shuijing interrupted Takahashi Ryoichi again. He put away his phone, looked at everyone, and said:
"Although a lot of worrying things have happened now, at least one thing we can be sure of is that the possible mysterious bandage weirdo is not in the villa now.
There is no doubt about this. Except for the three of you Yuanzi, the rest of us were all in the villa just now. Logically speaking, it is impossible for outsiders to sneak into the villa quietly without us noticing anything.
In this case, after finishing the late-night snack tonight, we will go back to our rooms to have a good rest, and make sure to lock the doors and windows. Tomorrow morning we will go down the mountain together from the path behind the mountain to seek help from the police. "
