Chapter 18 It Is Well Known That

"You are a bit extreme."

"I didn't want to, but that girl pushed the door open without knocking, and she saw that I was not disguised."

"I was afraid. I was afraid that she would expose me before I took any action, and I was also afraid that she would remember to expose me afterwards."

"You are a bit extreme."

Shimizu Koji shook his head, not knowing how to describe the man who had a mental breakdown and burst into tears.

From his point of view, if it was for his plan to kill and get away with it, he couldn't say that he was wrong.

It's just that-you are a bit too extreme.

A sword, as fast as lightning, didn't even make any sound, Takahashi Ryoichi felt a pain in his neck, and then his eyes went black and he fell to the ground.

Shimizu Koji didn't kill him, there was no reason, he wouldn't dirty his hands, and he didn't plan to take Takahashi back to the villa.

When Takahashi fainted and lay on the ground, Shimizu Koji stood there for a moment, turned his head silently, and looked at a dark forest.

"The one on the tree, I'm in trouble."

After saying that, regardless of whether the other party agreed or not, Shimizu Koji carried the bamboo sword and went back to the front door of the villa.

Back in the villa, Sonoko and Xiaolan just asked him what happened, and Shimizu Koji casually dealt with it.

But soon, a primary school student blocked his way forward.

"Brother Shimizu, did you find anything?"

"No, I just waited outside for a while, I think, maybe it's not the people in the villa who did it."

"Is that so? I see."

Conan frowned slightly, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer stopped Shimizu Koji from going upstairs.

It can only be said that Shimizu Koji has already understood his character a little bit, and Shimizu Koji himself is very good at keeping a straight face, so Conan almost didn't notice anything wrong.

Downstairs, Suzuki Ayako's classmates, Sonoko and Xiaolan were still sitting together in the restaurant, guessing and frightened about the identity of the bandaged monster. After all, Shimizu Koji didn't explain anything to them, just said that he didn't find it.

On the second floor, Shimizu Koji put the bamboo sword back in his room and walked out again.

Walking along the corridor, he walked all the way to the innermost room. After thinking for a while, he decided to chat with Suzuki Ayako.

"Dong Dong——"

"Ah, it's Shimizu-kun. It's so late. What's the matter?"

"Miss Ayako, can I come in and sit down?"

Shimizu Koji showed a smile that he thought was quite gentle.

Suzuki Ayako stood in front of the door, squinting her eyes, as if she was thinking, but it was only for a moment, and she chuckled and made way.

After Shimizu Koji walked into the room, she naturally closed the door again.

At this time, Ayako had changed into an orange pajamas, but the pajamas were very conservative and could be worn out.

After Shimizu Koji entered the room, he found that there was no place to sit, but it didn't bother him at all. He didn't hesitate and sat directly beside Ayako's bed.

Suzuki Ayako was a little surprised by his behavior, but she just smiled and didn't say anything, and sat on the stool in front of the dressing table by herself.

She was sitting here just now.

"Why did Shimizu-kun think of coming to me?"

Suzuki Ayako picked up the half-painted nail polish and continued to paint.

"Miss Ayako, haven't you received the news yet?" Shimizu Koji asked calmly.

Suzuki Ayako paused in applying nail polish, waited for a while, and saw that Shimizu Koji still didn't seem to have any intention of speaking, so she sighed with a slightly helpless look and said softly:

"They are only responsible for protecting the lives of me and Sonoko. If it weren't for Shimizu-kun, you just pointed out their existence, I'm afraid I wouldn't know that such a thing happened now."

Shimizu Koji squinted his eyes, but he opened his eyes quickly again. He felt that he was influenced by Suzuki Ayako, and squinting is not a good habit.

"Then you deliberately mentioned the deceased member at dinner before?"

"Eh? Are you talking about Atsuko?"

Suzuki Ayako raised her head, obviously a little surprised, but since both of them talked about this, she had a new understanding of Shimizu Koji's mind and observation.

"If I say yes, then what?"

"Then I know."

Kouji Shimizu replied lightly, then stood up and walked towards the door, which made Suzuki Ayako even more surprised.

So what are you doing here? Why don't you play by the rules?

"Hey, you didn't--"

"Putting aside the thing I was going to say at the beginning, I just satisfied my curiosity by the way."

He thought that the secret bodyguards would report the things in the forest to Suzuki Ayako, or that Suzuki Ayako should have received the news of the bandage monster before the incident.

But since Suzuki Ayako said that she just knew about it, he had nothing to say.

His purpose was very simple.

"I see. It seems that Shimizu-kun is really a special person.

However, since you are here, please sit for a while. I suddenly have something to say, and maybe after today, I will never have the chance to say it again."

Shimizu Koji stood in the middle of the room, looking at Suzuki Ayako who got up from the stool and gave him the seat. He asked casually with some confusion: "Huh? Why tell me?"

"Keke, Qingshui-kun can ask this, it means that my decision is right. Please sit down."

Suzuki Ayako covered her mouth and smiled softly. The light pink luster on her fingernails was really beautiful.

Koji Shimizu sat on the stool, and Ayako Suzuki sat on the edge of the bed, turning her palms over and admiring her newly painted nail polish, and spoke softly.

"Sonoko also said during dinner that I am currently looking for someone to marry."

"But it's not so much 'searching' as it is choosing the one that's not that bad among the limited options, which is the so-called 'marriage'."

Shimizu Koji looked at Suzuki Ayako, her expression remained unchanged, she still squinted her eyes and smiled, as if she was just talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

“This is the fate of us children of large chaebol families, and I accepted this fate from a very early age.

And even people like me will soon become a victim of marriage and let fate ruthlessly play with it. However, it seems that Kako cannot recognize herself and always thinks that she is above fate.

But her so-called power to defeat fate came from the efforts and lives of others. "

"Atsuko is also a very good friend of ours. Chikako just stole her hard work and used something called 'trust'.

The level of betrayal was such that Atsuko was not even willing to come to us for help after the incident, so she ended her life by committing suicide. "

"That Miss Atsuko can ask you for help. Miss Ayako, you can actually say 'no' to others." Shimizu Koji interjected.

"Well, you're right, Shimizu-kun. Considering the situation of our Suzuki family, I do have the right to say 'no'.

But because of my willfulness, it will be Sonoko who will bear this bad fate when the time comes. This is inevitable. Who said that our Suzuki family only has two daughters in this generation. "

"I did bring it up on purpose at the dinner table, but I just wanted to remind Chikako that Takahashi had already planned to kill her very early, and he did it so ruthlessly. However, think about the time when Atsuko and Takahashi I can probably understand the relationship between bridges.”

When Suzuki Ayako finished speaking, she was still smiling with her eyes narrowed.

Seeing this, Shimizu Koji knew in his heart that although she might be surprised by this incident, she probably never put Chikako's life in her eyes, at least, she didn't care much about it.

However, this is what a rich chaebol's daughter should be like, elegant and intellectual, hiding her true heart behind the gentleness of Yamato Nadeshiko.

If Ayako is like Sonoko, it won't be long before someone eats up the Suzuki family as well.

Koji Shimizu thought of the garden, and Suzuki Ayako changed her voice and mentioned the garden.

"Qingshui-kun, I know you don't have a 'like' impression of Yuanzi, but now, I don't dare to let Yuanzi like you anymore.

Fortunately, her love comes and goes quickly. Since Shimizu-kun and Sonoko are in the same school, I, as an older sister, would like to ask you again. If Sonoko meets someone she likes again, please help our Suzuki family. I check the garden in advance. "

Hearing this, Qingmizu Koji was slightly speechless.

After a moment of silence, "Why?"

"Koji-kun, you have a mature mind. I think you are completely qualified." Suzuki Ayako smiled but did not answer.

To Koji Shimizu, Suzuki Ayako's behavior was indeed a bit strange, and seeing that the other party entrusted him with such confidence, I'm afraid it wasn't just because of the trust in his character.

He felt that Suzuki Ayako's last words were more intentional. Maybe she was looking for something to say out of nothing, but maybe she also wanted to tease him a little? Let him also have a taste of the so-called fate?

There is no doubt that Suzuki Ayako probably knew about his 'sister' from Sonoko, but she didn't bring it up.

After all, if you put it forward, it won't have such an interesting effect.

"Besides, I've always been very accurate in judging people. Just like I've already taken a liking to my fiancé at first sight. Although he may have some bad habits like a young man behind his back, for me, his personality is the most suitable one."

Suzuki Ayako played with the round and white pearl necklace around her neck, and her tone became a little brisk.

As she said, these words had been pressed in her heart for so long that she might have been breathless.

It was only Koji Shimizu, a cold-faced and cold-hearted person with "bad views", who could keep secrets at first sight, and this special incident tonight, that made Suzuki Ayako able and willing to let out her accumulated emotions. For fast.

And Shimizu Koji noticed Suzuki Ayako playing with her necklace, and suddenly he had a vague understanding of her words.

Is it the right person? It seems that this eldest lady is not as...submissive as she said.

After taking a deep look at this 'bad woman' with narrowed eyes, Koji Shimizu stood up and left.
