Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 142: There are already enough people in the izakaya, we can’t add any more!
"Two years ago..." Lin Xiuyi asked curiously, "What happened?"

This was the second time today that he had heard of a vicious case against girls at Sakuragaoka Junior High School.

Fujimine Yukiko shook her head: "Tomoka, do you know?"

"I don't know," Takahashi Tomoka said, "I'm just like you. I've heard of this incident, but I don't know the details."

After chatting for a while, Takahashi Tomoka said goodbye and left.

It was past nine in the evening and the izakaya was still open. Orikasa Midori pushed open the door and walked in.

"Senior, I found Nagashima Ruko and told her what you said, but she looked distracted, so I don't know if she listened."

"Nagashima Ruko? Who is she?" Kogoro Mouri came over curiously.

"That's a girl I saved this afternoon who was almost scammed," said Yukiko Fujimine proudly.

"Saved by you?" Kisaki Eri asked doubtfully, "Is there anyone in this world more stupid than you?"

Fujimine Yukiko gritted her teeth in anger: "Glasses girl! Stop looking for trouble!"

"I'm just telling the truth," said Hibiki Eri with an innocent look on her face. "Where are you looking for trouble?"

"Alright, stop talking," Lin Xiuyi stopped the two girls from arguing, "Orikasa, what's going on?"

"This afternoon, after I separated from you, Senior, I led people to look for Nagashima Ryuko," Orikasa Midori said, "and finally ran into her in the commercial street. She was with other people, preparing to go to KTV to sing."

"Singing?" Fujimine Yukiko wondered, "Wasn't she worried about her health that afternoon? How did she feel like singing again?"

"I don't think she really wants to go," Orikasa Midori shook her head. "Looking at her expression, she was obviously a little embarrassed, but since it was a matter between their friends, I didn't interfere."

"I pulled her aside and told her senior to remind her. She just whispered that she understood. Then her friends called her, and Nagashima Ruko hurried back."

"Are those friends all girls?" Lin Xiuyi asked.

"No, three boys and two girls," Orikasa Midori thought for a moment, "the two girls are also students of our school, and the three boys look very mature, they are probably not students."

"Anyway, she should be fine with her friends comforting her, right?" Fujimine Yukiko breathed a sigh of relief.

"Friends..." Lin Xiuyi frowned and didn't continue the topic. "By the way, Orikasa, you mentioned before that there was a vicious case against women in Sakuragaoka two years ago. Can you tell me more about the situation?"

"I'm actually not too sure about that," Orikasa Midori recalled. "I was just in the first year of junior high at the time. Within half a month, four third-year seniors died in school at night."

"Although the school called the police, they didn't find anything."

"During that time, there were all kinds of rumors in school. Many people believed that there was a killer who specifically hunted down the girls who stayed in school at night."

"In order to avoid any incidents, the school cancelled all club activities that required students to stay on campus, and drove students out of the school at the end of the day."

"It took more than three months before things gradually returned to normal, and nothing like this happened in the school since then."

"Murderer..." Fujimine Yukiko shuddered, "That sounds scary."

"Even if the police didn't get to the bottom of such a heinous case at the time, they would have continued investigating later," said Eri Kisaki, frowning. "Aren't they afraid that the killer will strike again?"

"I don't know about that," Orikasa Midori shook his head. "Anyway, neither the school nor the police told us what happened afterwards." "Inspector Samezaki should know about this. I'll find a chance to ask him later," Lin Xiuyi said with a smile. "Anyway, I'll trouble you today, Orikasa."

"It's my fault in the first place. If I hadn't intervened without understanding the situation, the girl wouldn't have left," Orikasa Midori apologized. "I'm just trying to make amends for my mistake. Senior, it's getting late. I'll go home first."

After seeing Orikasa Midori off, Maori Kogoro came back and sighed, "This is the flower shop girl you were talking about. She is really beautiful and handsome. What do you think, if I pursue her, is there any hope?"

"You?" Kisaki Eri rolled her eyes. "Go home and go to bed early."

"Huh?" Maori Kogoro didn't understand. "What do you mean?"

"Sister Yingli told you to go home and dream. There will be anything in your dream!" Lingzi laughed happily.

"You just know how to attack me!" Maori Kogoro snorted angrily and looked at his friend, "Shuiyi, you should support me, right?"

"I want to support you, but..." Lin Xiuyi kindly reminded, "Orikasa is proficient in kendo. When I first met her, she was beating up three thugs with a wooden sword."

"In addition, she also formed a group of bad girls called Thorn Rose in Sakuragaoka. They are said to have hundreds of members, and they all follow her to learn kendo."

"This afternoon, she brought a dozen bad girls on bicycles and armed with sticks to surround me and almost got into a fight."

"If you can accept this, go after her."

"Is that so?" Maori Kogoro shrank his head. "Forget it then. I'll leave this thorny rose to you, Shuichi."

"Kogoro!" Kisaki Eri said angrily with a dark face, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Could some people really be moved?" Fujimine Yukiko glanced at Hayashi Shuichi.

"Onii-chan!" Reiko also widened her eyes.

"Well... I'll go to the door to greet the guests!" Seeing that the situation was not right, Kogoro Mouri quickly slipped away.

"Oh, we're missing a seasoning the customer requested," Lin Xiuyi patted his forehead, "I'll go get it from the storage room now. I'll leave it to you outside, Yukiko!"

After saying that, he also hid in the storage room.

The remaining three girls looked at each other and reached some kind of tacit understanding.

There are already enough people in the izakaya, we can’t add any more!
……

The next day, Teitan High School.

During lunch break, Yukiko Fujimine and Tomoka Takahashi ate and took a walk around the campus to digest their food.

"Ever since I switched to eating lunch boxes from Showichi for lunch, I seem to have gained weight again these past few days," Fujimine Yukiko said, rubbing her cheek worriedly. "Tomoka, can you help me check if I've gained weight?"

"Miss, it's only been a few days. Even if you've gained weight, it's impossible to tell!" Takahashi Tomoka said speechlessly, "If you're so worried about gaining weight, why don't you just not eat?"

"But the food that Shuichi cooks tastes really good," Fujimine Yukiko said reluctantly, "much better than the food in the school cafeteria..."
