Chapter 221: Kyogoku Shin and Mikyou Masahiko Who Were Attacked

At 6:34 in the evening, the clouds in the sky thickened, and the sky was filled with dense clouds at night. There was a faint flash of lightning in the clouds, and within a minute, raindrops fell. , look at the raindrops like popping beans, hitting the bluestone in front of the Wawu Hotel, and it is estimated that it will turn into a downpour soon.

"It's starting to rain. I really hope Mr. Taoist Association can come over soon."

Under the eaves at the entrance of the hotel, Sonoko, who was wearing a bright red suspender-baring top, looked at the rain, then at his watch, and said with some anxiety.

I don’t know if I am worried about being let go, or whether I am worried that after dinner with Dao Xie Masahiko, my originally planned romantic date will be interrupted because of this damn rain...

"Can you please stop being so impatient? The leading actor always appears late."

Xiaolan, who was wearing a light green one-piece dress, smiled and teased Yuanzi to express her relief.

"Don't laugh at me, I'll be embarrassed~"

Yuanzi blushed with embarrassment and said coyly.

"Wow~"

While the two best friends were joking with each other, the wooden door was opened. Even in the sound of rain, the "clatter" of the door was still loud. Obviously, the person who opened the door used a lot of force.

Then, Kyogoku Makoto, whose face was darker than the clouds and gloomier than the sky, bent over and slowly leaned out half of his body, placed a large brown oil paper umbrella at the foot of the garden, and then put it down without saying a word. The protruding head retracted, and with a "crash", the wooden door was closed again.

"What is this umbrella for!?"

Xiaolan looked at the closed wooden door, then at the umbrella, and asked inexplicably.

"Does it mean it's for us to use?"

Yuanzi was equally at a loss.

"Maybe that big brother is also interested in Sister Yuanzi~~"

Conan, who was wearing a small suit, put his hands in his trouser pockets, his eyes curled into a half-moon shape, and he teased Sonoko with a non-smiling smile.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being a detective, and he directly revealed the truth of the matter in one sentence.

(ω)

"Hey~~"

Yuanzi was surprised, and a blush appeared on her face.

"Look, Sonoko. You are very popular!"

Xiaolan bumped Yuanzi's shoulder with her elbow, encouraging Yuanzi happily.

"Stop talking, that person is gloomy!"

Yuanzi quickly waved his hand to signal Xiaolan to stop making fun of him.

"Yes, the garden now has a Taoist Association teacher~"

"Xiaolan, you are so annoying, so embarrassing~~"

Sonoko scratched her cheek with her fingers, feeling very shy, but she didn't know what kind of critical blow her words had caused to Kyogoku who was behind the wooden door.

I look... very gloomy?

Also, is she already with that man?

She seemed very happy, maybe...

Kyogoku Makoto, who was behind the wooden door, rubbed his dark cheeks numbly and stood there in silence for a long time. He felt that his spirit had been greatly hit.

"Oops, I forgot my wallet in the room. Wait for me, I'll be right back!"

The voice of the girl he liked behind the wooden door came to his ears. Kyogoku, who was feeling sad, heard the words and hurriedly hid behind a wooden cabinet.

"Wow~"

Sonoko opened the wooden door, took off her shoes in a hurry, and ran to the stairs on the second floor of the hotel. She didn't see Kyo who was hiding behind the wooden cabinet, but because the wooden cabinet was a little small and his body was too burly, half of his body was exposed. Extremely true.

Maybe, I should give up...

Kyogoku sighed softly in his heart, feeling full of loss in the self-isolated Kyogoku.

"What a coincidence. I don't think it's strange that Yuanzi was suddenly killed suddenly. But, this has nothing to do with me..."

Just when Kyogoku really wanted to give up and secretly protect Sonoko, the words that the man said at another restaurant on the beach at noon suddenly appeared in his mind.

No, if her negligence really puts her in danger, then I will regret it! The man was right, it was such a coincidence.

It's just that he said that this matter has nothing to do with him, but he must take care of it!

In fact, even if Kishida didn't say those words, Kyogoku would really be worried about Sonoko. After all, before Izu met Sonoko, he had already seen Dokyo Masahiko and struck up a conversation with two or three girls, so he had been worried.

But that kind of worry was just the fear that Yuanzi would meet a pervert and be deceived by the pervert, so he didn't think too much about it and thought about the perverted murderer.

But now that he "accidentally" heard Kishida's special reminder, he couldn't help but think about the perverted murderer.

Therefore, what is different from the original work is that Kyogoku Makoto, who was originally only worried about Sonoko being raped by a pervert and being accidentally slandered by Sonoko, and fell into temporary isolation, made a different decision.

He patted his gloomy cheeks, cheered up again, and looked at Sonoko's figure about to run up the stairs. Without thinking more, he followed him without hesitation. Since he wanted to protect, of course he needed to take every step. Don't leave, keep her in your sight.

Anyway, he had already asked for leave from the owner of the Tile House Hotel, his father...

~~

"Sister Xiaolan, what's wrong with you?"

On the other side, Conan, who was still waiting for Sonoko under the eaves in front of the hotel, asked Ran, who had been holding her chin with the index finger and thumb of her right hand and tightening her eyebrows since Kyogoku Shin appeared.

"I always feel like I've seen that man with glasses somewhere!"

"Aren't we staying in a hotel?"

Conan was a little disapproving.

"It's not here, it should be somewhere else!"

Xiaolan frowned and racked her brains to think.

"is that true?"

Seeing Xiaolan's determination, Conan, who was very familiar with her, also put aside his disapproval.

"Um."

Xiaolan nodded affirmatively.

"Where exactly, where did you see him, Sister Xiaolan, Sister Xiaolan!"

Conan turned from disapproving to anxious and asked quickly. He wondered if it was possible that this was related to the body found at noon that had been killed last night? Maybe Xiaolan accidentally saw him when she was passing by the track next to the forest last night?

In this way, it can probably explain why the other party is "hostile" to me and others when they are in the hotel at noon. As for giving him an umbrella, is it because he wants me to go out so that he can make a good move?

Various speculations flashed through Conan's mind. Even if they were unreliable, he would estimate the possibilities first. As for the fact that Kyogoku really just likes Sonoko and is jealous, in his opinion, this is the most unreasonable speculation.

Well, in this case, the Taoist Masahiko who fell in love with Sonoko may have a big problem! !

“Where is it?!?”

Just as Conan was thinking secretly, a familiar voice came from not far away.

"Conan, don't rush me~~ I'm thinking hard!"

Ran, who had been racking his brains to remember where he had met Kyogoku, lowered his head, pouted, and looked at Conan very dissatisfied.

(⊙o⊙)…

"No, no! I didn't say that."

Conan's half-moon eyes were speechless and he waved his hands repeatedly.

"Um!?"

"That should be Dai Kishida..."

Conan looked at Xiaolan's confused look and was about to explain when the familiar voice came over again.

"Ah!! Tile House Hotel, it turns out to be here!!"

As soon as the sound of surprise came through the rain, Conan and Xiaolan saw Kishida trotting over in the rain with his hands covering his head at the street corner a few meters ahead.

"Brother Kishida!?"

Xiaolan blinked, never expecting to meet Kishida twice in Izu in one day.

"Uh, why is it you again?!"

Kishida, who was trotting over, naturally saw Xiaolan and Conan at this time, and his eyes widened.

The island country is so small! Kishida has expressed this emotion more than once.

"We're staying in this hotel! Kishida-san, why are you here?"

Conan glanced at Kishida suspiciously. Ever since he realized at the hotel at noon that his identity might have been exposed, he now doubted whether this guy was actually monitoring him every time he met Kishida.

"Oh, we called before and made a reservation for a seafood dinner here."

Kishida simply said in shock.

In fact, this is the travel voucher he drew, which includes one of the meals included in the meal plan, and this travel voucher is actually an event organized by many businesses in Izu this time.

"Us? Where are Haibara-san and Shimizu-san?"

Conan poked his head and looked behind Kishida, but still couldn't find Haibara and Akemi.

"Don't look anymore, it suddenly started raining heavily on the road! I asked them to find a place to take shelter on the road, and I ran over first, hoping to borrow an umbrella from the store, and then go back to pick them up."

Kishida said it righteously and seemed to be very graceful, but actually he couldn't help but curl his lips inwardly.

It's all the fault of the Miyano sisters. It's not enough to watch the cherry blossoms for about ten minutes, but it takes more than two hours. It's not a good time for cherry blossom viewing, so it's not only late but also raining heavily. .

Haibara was still small, so he was embarrassed to let her run over to get the umbrella. Akemi Kishida actually wanted to let her run over, but when he saw her wearing an elegant white dress with a water blue ribbon around her waist, tied into an elegant bow, the skirt There was also a section of white, slender and round thighs exposed underneath. After hesitating for a moment, she was reluctant to run out in the rain...

After all, it was raining heavily, and this outfit could easily have a great visual impact on other witnesses when it was wet.

Well, it's not that he couldn't bear to part with her, he just didn't want her to provoke him some wolf friends who needed to be humanely destroyed. Anyway, that's how Kishida forcefully convinced him, especially after he realized that Mingmei was very likely to like him. ...

These are probably normal men, except for Brother Gongba, so their natural stinginess in this regard must be at work! ?

Even though the somewhat hypocritical Kishida only admits in his heart that he has a great liking for Akemi, but he doesn't really like her...

"Then, let me lend you this umbrella first!"

Hearing this, Xiaolan hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Sonoko had not come down yet, she picked up the oil-paper umbrella on the ground and handed it to Kishida.

"Thanks, Xiaolan!"

Kishida was delighted. After taking the umbrella, he quickly thanked him and turned around to go back to pick him up.

"It's strange, why does it take Sonoko so long to get a wallet? Conan, wait here, I'll go up and take a look first!"

Xiaolan, who was just waving to him and indicating that you were welcome, suddenly murmured in confusion, then lowered her head and said to Conan, who had been staring at Kishida.

"Um?!"

Kishida paused, realizing that this might be the first time that Sonoko was attacked by Mikyou Masahiko, but he always felt that he had overlooked something.

Then when he saw Xiaolan and opened the wooden door to go in, he suddenly remembered that it seemed that it was Xiaolan who went back to find Sonoko at the critical moment, alarming Mikyou Masahiko and causing him to jump off the building and escape, thus avoiding the tragedy.

But now, will Xiaolan miss the best opportunity because of a few more words with him, the NPC who played a minor role in this case...

The idea just came out, fearing that the flapping wings of a little butterfly would harm a young girl, Kishida's forehead, which was still dripping with rain, actually broke out in a little cold sweat, and he was about to run in with Xiaolan.

"It's you!!"

An angry male voice resounded throughout the hotel, followed by a female scream of "Ah!", and then a muffled "bang" sound.

As Kishida and Conan were stunned, a figure jumped over the railing of the second-floor room and fell straight into the muddy rain. After struggling for a few times, he became motionless...
