Chapter 60: don't run around

   Chapter 60 Don't run around

   Jiang Xia packed his luggage and himself, and when he went downstairs again, the others were already gathered in the living room.

   Except for the four of them who came to the villa, everyone else was Suzuki Ayako's college classmates.

   The group consisted of three men and two women. In addition to Suzuki Ayako and the three boys who were visited one by one, there was also a short-haired woman, Chikako Ikeda.

   Ikeda Tomoko seems to be a celebrity.

  Maolilan got excited when she heard her name: "You are the author of "The Kingdom of Cyan"? I like this novel very much!"

   "Cyan Kingdom" is the debut novel of Chikako Ikeda's college years, and won the Best Newcomer Award.

   This should have been an achievement worth showing off, but when Ikeda Chikako heard Mo Lilan talking about this, her face was ugly, and she changed the topic unnaturally.

   This is also inevitable.

  Because Jiang Xia remembered that "Blue Kingdom" was a work copied by Chikako Ikeda. The girl she copied was called Atsuko, and she used to be a member of the Film Research Society.

  Two years ago, on the day of the "Blue Kingdom" award ceremony, Atsuko hanged herself.

   As soon as Jiang Xia thought of this, she heard Suzuki Ayako sigh with emotion: "I'm really happy to be with you. It would be nice if Atsuko didn't have an accident, then we..."

   "Enough!" Tomokako Ikeda had a huge reaction. She slapped the table and stood up abruptly, "It's a rare party, can you not mention the dead person who spoiled the fun!"

   Jiang Xia's hand stretched out to the biscuit box for a while, and glanced at the fat brother next to him, feeling that his murderous aura had increased. It's a pity that the quality has not been upgraded, and the taste is still very general.

   Suzuki Ayako was a little embarrassed when she saw her classmates getting angry, and got up to prepare dinner.

   The fat man among the three male classmates also scratched the back of his head, and said with a smile: "The weather forecast says it will rain tonight, so I will reinforce the roof. When I came, I saw that it was a little broken, and it might seep water."

   - Although Ryoichi Takahashi is a little fatter, he is a flexible fat man with strong hands-on ability.

   So no matter repairing the roof or dismembering the body, the movements are very neat.

   Jiang Xia nibbled on the biscuits and looked at Ryoichi Takahashi who was walking towards the balcony.

   Whether it was Brother Fatty's murderous aura or Jiang Xia's "prophetic ability", they all told him that Takahashi Ryoichi was the "bandaged man" they saw on the bridge.

  The bandaged body is normal, but Ryoichi Takahashi is very fat, and it is difficult for ordinary people to associate them with each other.

   But in fact, Ryoichi Takahashi is only fat, his current "beer belly" is actually a pile of fillers.

  —Takahashi Ryoichi intends to kill Chikako Ikeda to avenge Atsuko. And that fake belly was the prop he used to carry the corpse and blur the time of death.

  Takahashi Ryo took the tool kit and quickly climbed to the roof, disappearing from everyone's sight. Except for Jiang Xia, no one noticed him.

   At this time, next to the dining table, the handsome guy with long hair among the male classmates looked at Mao Lilan, a wall thump hit the wall, and he invited his high school sister to walk with him in the rain.

  Maolilan hesitated and didn't want to go.

   She has absolutely no interest in flirting.

  Although the handsome guy with long hair is indeed very handsome, but after looking at Jiang Xia's face for a long time, her immunity to ordinary handsome guys will inevitably double.

  Maolilan didn't refuse on the spot, just because she was not good at refusing.

   The handsome guy with long hair saw her hesitation. In line with the principle of "helping women make choices when they hesitate", he grabbed Mao Lilan's wrist and pulled the person to the door: "Let's go, the air in the mountains in the evening is very fresh."

   Jiang Xia sat beside the dining table, glanced at them, and said faintly:

   "There is a damp smell outside the window, and it smells like it's going to rain. Once the branches and leaves are wet with the rain, the bugs crawling on them can't catch them, and they will fall down with the rain.

"You don't need to worry about ordinary bugs, they can be hung on your hair as decorations... But if it's a tick or something, remember to get rid of it in time, ah, by the way, don't pull it out by hand, or it may be pulled off its body and its head still in the meat.

  "In addition, I heard that there are many snakes around here. Snakes like hot and humid, and they will climb out of their nests before and after it rains. When you walk, pay attention to your feet, don't step on them, they are easy to be bitten.

   "But now there are a lot of dead leaves. It is really difficult to avoid completely... Then if you are bitten, don't panic, and don't run. Once the blood flow accelerates, the spread of venom will speed up..."

   Following these few words, the long-haired handsome man settled at the door.

   is not scared by bugs or snakes, but physically "unable to walk".

  —Huge resistance came from his hands. The little sister of the high school student he was pulling could be easily dragged away just now, but at this time, she stopped firmly.

   The handsome long-haired guy glanced back in shock, and secretly exerted his strength without believing in evil.

   However, the girl with a soft body behind her remained motionless.

   Seeing him turn around, Mao Lilan whispered with a pale face, "Why don't you go first." The woods at night are too scary...

   The long-haired boy actually didn't want to give up.

   But he really couldn't pull anyone.

   After a stalemate for half a minute, the handsome long-haired man silently released the numb hand held by Mao Lilan.

   He flipped his hair with trembling fingers, and said forcefully, "Haha, yes, you must be tired from walking on the road, so take a good rest first."

   Jiang Xia withdrew his gaze and poured himself a cup of black tea comfortably.

  Conan glanced at him gratefully, and helped Jiang Xia push the sugar cube closer.

   However, after a while, Conan suddenly became alert.

  ...Why did Jiang Xia stop Xiaolan from walking with other handsome guys? Should he...

  Conan thought about it, his face turned white.
