Facing the man's solo invitation, Sonoko was timid at this moment. Although her thoughts were very avant-garde and bold, she backed down when it really came.
So, a group of five people changed into swimsuits and followed the man to a seafood restaurant on the beach for lunch.
Situ Xiu was very reluctant to follow, but he was just a child and had no say.
"What, Mr. Michowaki is a student of Rice Flower University!".
"That's Xiaolan's father's younger brother!"
"Well, what a coincidence!".
During the chat, the young man's name was Dowaki (xié) Masahiko (yàn), and he came to Izu to travel because of a broken love.
With a "boom" sound, a waiter placed the beer heavily on the table, and then said coldly: "Your draft beer is here."
"Ah...thank you" Michowaki Masahiko was slightly taken aback.
Seeing the waiter's face, Situ Xiu's eyelids twitched and he thought to himself: Isn't this the young hotel owner from yesterday? He works as a waiter here?
The man put down the beer and turned around to leave. After taking a few steps, he turned back and reminded: "Sir, please don't drop the cigarette ashes on the ground. It will be difficult to clean up."
"Oh..." Michowaki Masahiko quickly put the cigarette in his mouth into the ashtray and put it out, then picked up the beer and said with an unhappy look on his face: "The attitude of this clerk is really bad."
Looking at the man leaving, Xiaolan felt that he looked familiar and couldn't help but ask: "Do you think you have seen that clerk somewhere before?"
"It looks familiar to me, but I just can't remember where I saw it." Koizumi Anko's eyes flashed with confusion.
"Of course I have seen him." Yuanzi curled his lips, and then said: "That clerk is the small owner of the hotel where we stayed. I heard that he came back to help during the summer vacation."
"How come you even know about such a thing?" Koizumi Hongzi looked at Sonoko and said.
"Yesterday he kept staring at us at the door, so I asked the hotel people about it," Sonoko explained.
Xiaolan on the side asked strangely: "Since he is the young owner of the hotel, why would he come to this store to help?".
"I think the owner of this seafood restaurant and the Wawu Hotel where we stayed must be the same person," Situ Xiu said after pondering for a moment.
Michowaki Masahiko heard Situ Xiu's words and said with surprise: "Hey! Are you staying at the Takuya Hotel?".
"Yes..." Xiao Lan said.
"That's right, it's near the hotel where I live!"
Michowaki Masahiko smiled, and then said: "Well, let's go to a luxury restaurant on the beach to dine together tonight! I'll drive to pick you up."
Yuanzi's eyes lit up and she said expectantly: "Oh? Really?".
"Really" Masahiko Michowaki nodded, and then said with a smile: "But don't forget to bring your camera!".
"Ah...why?" Yuanzi was slightly stunned.
camera!
Conan glanced deeply at Masahiko Michowaki, his expression serious.
Michowaki Masahiko glanced at everyone and said with a mysterious face: "I just asked the locals here. It is said that something happened on the beach near the restaurant."
"Has something happened? What happened?" Situ Xiu asked curiously.
"The time was a year ago, when a woman with long brown hair was stabbed in the abdomen and murdered."
Masahiko Michowaki looked solemn, and then said: "The woman was killed on the way to that restaurant. There are no witnesses. It is still under investigation. It has been a year since the incident. Tourists have long forgotten what happened back then. The restaurant has also returned to its former prosperity, but...
I heard that the woman likes that restaurant very much and now goes there occasionally."
"Now..." Yuanzi and Xiaolan's expressions changed slightly, with fear in their eyes.
Koizumi Anko on the side curled her lips, obviously not believing what Michowaki Masahiko said.
"It is said that the photos taken in that restaurant..."
Michowaki Masahiko paused, then a strange smile appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice: "The victimized lady will appear in the photo, standing on the dining table like a ghost and watching others eat."
"Gulu~"
Upon hearing the ghost, Xiaolan and Yuanzi swallowed nervously, with looks of horror on their faces.
Conan on the side was speechless and said: "Nonsense."
"So, Mr. Michowaki wants to take a photo with his camera to see if that kind of photo will appear, right?" Situ Xiu looked at Masahiko Michowaki and said.
Masahiko Michowaki, who was about to speak, was slightly startled when he heard Situ Xiu's words, and nodded: "Yes."
Hearing this, Yuanzi looked at Xiaolan aside and said with a forced smile: "Xiaolan, how are you? Anyway, there are still about 10 films left to shoot."
"No, absolutely not!" Xiaolan refused and shook her head desperately.
"Xiaolan, if you take a picture and show it to Shinichi, maybe you will see something!"
Yuanzi took out the camera and said with a smile: "Besides, there are some sexy photos taken here that I want to show him."
When Xiaolan heard Yuanzi's words, she suddenly remembered the indecent photos of her taken at the beach, and then said with a bit of shyness on her face: "... those kinds of photos where you don't know who they are, show him what they have." use!".
"Hehe, his reasoning ability is so powerful, I think he should be able to see who it is immediately." Sonoko chuckled.
"..." Xiaolan.
Situ Xiu glanced at Conan and couldn't help but vomit in his heart: How could someone who was participating in the whole trip not know who was being photographed.
However, this is not the point. When it comes to the camera, Situ Xiu feels that Masahiko Michowaki is hiding something.
Michowaki Masahiko has always behaved like a gentleman, but when it came time to invite everyone to eat seafood, Sonoko had to bring a camera.
Maybe Masahiko Michowaki doesn't have a camera, but if a person wants to pursue a girl, he has to do it even if he buys a camera or borrows one. The girl won't feel entangled unless Masahiko Michowaki doesn't want it. The meaning of pursuing a garden.
Situ Xiu was just confused. In his opinion, those who really pursue girls are prepared for everything.
Michowaki Masahiko was slightly startled when he heard Sonoko's words and said: "Reasoning ability?".
"Her boyfriend is a detective!"
Sonoko pointed at Xiaoran and explained to Masahiko Michowaki with a smile.
"That's it!"
Michowaki Masahiko was a little stunned, and then asked curiously: "You just said there are any other sexy photos? What are they?".
"That's it..." Sonoko waved her hand and came close to Masahiko Michowaki's ear.
"Yuanzi..." Xiaolan looked panicked and was interrupted before she finished speaking.
“I’ve been waiting for your fried noodles for a long time!”
With a "bang" sound, the waiter just now placed the dinner plate heavily on the table, and he also put it down from where Sonoko was about to talk to Masahiko Michowaki.
This scene shocked both Sonoko and Michowaki Masahiko.
The waiter glanced at Masahiko Michowaki coldly and said, "There are still many customers waiting, please eat quickly."
After saying that, the waiter turned around and left coolly.
Everyone stared blankly at the leaving waiter, while Masahiko Michowaki complained: "What kind of clerk is this? Does that guy have any grudge against us?"
"Weird person" Yuanzi curled his lips.
Immediately afterwards, Michowaki Masahiko divided out six plates of fried noodles and brought them to everyone.
Koizumi Hongzi suddenly lowered her head and whispered in Situ Xiu's ear: "The waiter just now was actually staring at us."
"Ah... no way." Situ Xiu was slightly startled, and then he remembered the ruthless person he told the waiter and the young boss last night.
Could it be that the little boss has always remembered this incident, so he has an unfriendly attitude towards them.
"I feel that the waiter's attention is focused on Sonoko, and he may like Sonoko," Koizumi Anko said.
"Nani!" Situ Xiu looked shocked.
Is Yuanzi's luck so strong today?
Koizumi Anko smiled confidently and said: "I have been observing the waiter since just now. Every time Sonoko talks to Mr. Michowaki very intimately, the waiter will frown, as if he is jealous.
Just when Sonoko leaned into Mr. Michowaki's ear, the waiter came over quickly and placed the plate heavily on the table."
"Uh...it turns out that the attitude is unfriendly, but..."
Situ Xiu looked at Koizumi Hongzi with a look of disgust on his face and said, "Sister Hongzi, why do you pay special attention to that waiter?"
"Special?" Koizumi Hongzi smiled, and then said: "It's not that, I just thought that the waiter looked familiar, and I felt like I had seen it before somewhere, so I took a look."
"Emm..." Situ Xiu said with a speechless face: "Didn't I see him in the hotel?"
"No" Koizumi Anko shook her head.
Situ Xiu asked curiously: "Where have you seen it?"
"I can't remember," Koizumi Hongzi said.
"..." Situ Xiu.
........
On the other side, word spread that a body was found in the woods, and the police rushed to the scene.
