"Congratulations to you too, Takuya. Now you are a big shot in the Metropolitan Police Department." Yuzo Tomizawa, a painter, blushed slightly at Mune Takuya's congratulations and hurriedly changed the subject.
When he was a child, Tomizawa Yuzo knew that his childhood playmate would definitely achieve great things when he grew up, not only because of Sotakuya's hard work in his youth.
And the Suzuki family stood behind him.
There were even rumors in the industry that Takuya Itamune married into the Suzuki family, but now it seems to be pure nonsense.
After Tomizawa Yuzo and Suzuki Ayako got together, he learned some things that he didn't know before. Suzuki Ayako has such a good relationship with Sotakuya. It has to be said that Suzuki Sonoko has made a great contribution.
Tomizawa Yuzo secretly glanced at Suzuki Sonoko and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Speaking of having older brothers and sisters like Sotakuya and Suzuki Ayako, Sonoko’s childhood was really difficult.
But for some reason, Tomizawa Yuzo felt a little bit envious after learning what happened to Suzuki Sonoko.
Although he also has two brothers who share the same breast, the family atmosphere really matters.
Tomizawa Yuzo hoped that he was the one who was cheated, at least it would be better than the current strange atmosphere where everyone "respects each other as guests". This is the main reason why he preferred painting when he was a child.
Tomizawa Yuzo's depression didn't last long before he was interrupted by Sou Takuya warmly, and the two old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time started talking under the scorching sun.
The friendship between men is really strange. On weekdays, they can say nothing and basically not contact each other, but when they meet, they will have endless topics and experiences to talk about.
The two of them lost track of time while chatting. It wasn't until Conan sneezed loudly that So Takuya and Tomizawa Yuzo realized what they were doing. Tomizawa Yuzo suddenly realized:
"By the way, my father will also come to the villa today, as well as my two brothers. I am going to formally introduce Ayako to them."
Rather than introducing her to her family, it is more like letting Suzuki Ayako meet her family again in the name of her fiancée.
The Tomizawa family and the Suzuki family were family friends, so naturally everyone knew each other.
When Sotakuya and others walked to the door of Suzuki's villa, they happened to see Tomizawa Tetsuji, Tomizawa Yuzo's father, moving a small stool and sitting at the door of Suzuki's house.
"Yo Yuzo, Ayako, you are back~"
"uncle?!"
Seeing Tomizawa Tetsuji's appearance, Suzuki Ayako hurriedly ran forward, opened the door, and welcomed Tomizawa Tetsuji into the villa. You must know that it was still the scorching sun that made the guests wait alone at the door of their house.
That's really a big faux pas.
"Hahaha, it's okay, don't worry about it, Ayako. Speaking of which, I'm an uninvited guest~" Tetsuji Tomizawa was very humorous, teasing Suzuki Ayako in a self-deprecating way.
"Dad!" Yuzo Tomizawa, his father, was helpless when he saw his family becoming more playful. After complaining, he introduced Sotakuya to Tetsuji Tomizawa.
After a few polite greetings, Sotakuya kept a low profile.
The next time is for Suzuki Ayako and the Tomizawa family. It’s better for them not to force the drama.
Just when Zong Takuya was about to take Qiuting Reiko to visit other parts of the villa, Qiuting Reiko gently tugged on Zong Takuya's skirt and motioned him to look in the direction of Mao Lilan.
"Xiaolan. What's going on?" Zong Tuozai asked curiously.
At this moment, Mao Lilan was looking longingly at the scene where Suzuki Ayako and Tomizawa and his son were getting along, and it was hard to tell whether it was envy or sadness in her eyes.
Anyway, Xiaolan at this moment is very different from the kind and cheerful person she used to be.
"Xiaolan is probably thinking of Kudo Shinichi." Qiuting Reiko reminded him softly.
Zong Takuya sighed after hearing this: "What a sin."
After all, Conan has been hiding Xiaolan's identity. This belongs to other people's family affairs, and Sotakuya feels that he has nothing to say about other people's family affairs.
But Xiaolan's current appearance makes people feel really distressed.
"Sister Xiaolan." Mao Lilan's strange behavior naturally attracted Conan's attention, but Mao Lilan was also helpless in looking forward to Conan.
——
"I think that Uncle Tomizawa is too good at staying up late." Sotakuya yawned loudly in the living room. Originally, they decided to stay at Ayako's house tonight.
Unexpectedly, the uncle actually watched the baseball game at Suzuki's house, and it was past eleven o'clock.
After finally not being too busy at work recently, So Takuya, who had slightly adjusted his work and rest time, was yawning on the sofa.
"Mr. Tomizawa is ready to leave. Let's accompany Ayako to see her off." Reiko Akiba, who had been paying attention to Ayako, picked up the sleepy Sotakuya and sent Tetsuji Tomizawa away together.
"I think we should go home tomorrow morning. Sonoko and Xiaolan, do you want to go back with me?" Sotakuya said to Sonoko and Xiaolan when everyone went back to the bedroom together.
Tomorrow Tomizawa Tetsuji will come to visit with his three sons. It is obviously a family dinner, and So Takuya is too embarrassed to stay here.
Say it again
He didn't want to stay up another night.
Just as Sotakuya was speaking, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and the lights in the villa flickered and then went out instantly.
"power cut?"
Sotakuya was stunned and looked up at the villa opposite, and found that Tomizawa's house, which originally had light at home, was also dark. It seemed that the lightning had just caused a power outage in the area.
"We really have to cut off the power at this time." Suzuki Sonoko scratched her hair in distress and looked out the window of the corridor when the second lightning flashed across the sky.
"Who is that?!"
Sotakuya looked out the window and found a figure squatting on the ground in the bushes between the Suzuki family and Tomisawa family villas, holding up a stone on the ground and hitting something.
"Who?!" Zong Takuya opened the window and shouted outside. The next moment, another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and the figure on the ground turned around.
The bright light of lightning allowed everyone to clearly see the figure on the ground. Although he was wearing a knitted hat and a mask, he looked like it was Tomizawa Yuzo who had just left!
"Yuzo, what are you doing?!" Sotakuya flipped over lightly and jumped out from the first floor, then quickly ran towards "Tomizawa Yuzo".
Seeing Sotakuya coming, "Tomizawa Yuzo" immediately stood up, turned around and ran away into the woods next to the villa.
[No, this guy is not Tomizawa Yuzo! 】
When he saw the figure, he turned around and ran away without answering. So Takuya frowned and turned on the lighting function of his watch, chasing the figure in the direction of escape.
Passing by the place where the figure was squatting just now, Sotakuya glanced at the place with the light of the flashlight. Good guy Tomizawa Tetsuji, who was still alive and kicking just now, fell in a pool of blood.
Next to him was a stone that was used as a murder weapon.
Seeing that his target was about to flee into the woods, Sotakuya simply pulled out his pistol and fired a warning shot, but unfortunately the warning effect was not obvious under the cover of the thunder.
The murderer's figure's escape didn't even slow down a bit.
What is this called? This means that the gangster completely ignored the police officer's warning shot and could use a more radical arrest plan. For example, directly use firearms to subdue gangsters.
So Takuya, who is proficient in all kinds of situations, started with an American-style Iai that was very complete. Whenever there was a white policeman at the scene, he would have to call him an expert.
The fleeing figure didn't even struggle and simply fell to the ground.
As a murderer, the most unlucky thing is not that there are detectives at the scene, but that he is caught by the police just after committing the crime. His carefully designed killing techniques and alibi were invalidated without even a chance to appear.
Anytime you're doing wasted work it's not a good experience.
What's more, two legs were suddenly shot through by bullets?
