Conan Rick's Investigator

Without waiting for Ran Mouri to ask, Sonoko pushed her best friend away and interrupted her.

Only when they got to the car behind did Yuanzi explain the whole story to Qin Zhibo and others.

It turns out that since the bandage monster incident, Suzuki Ayako has suffered from serious mental illness.

After trying many treatments without success, the doctor proposed this method of fighting poison with poison to eliminate Suzuki Ayako's inner demons.

Simply put, everyone needs to restore the situation at that time and bring the bandaged monster to justice.

The fact that the police were unable to catch Takahashi Ryoichi for such a long time may also be one of the causes of this disease.

Of course, the Suzuki family also tried to deceive Suzuki Ayako, saying that the murderer had been caught.

But firstly, Suzuki Ayako wanted to witness Takahashi Ryoichi being taken to the police station with her own eyes, and secondly, there was no point in doing so as the nightmare did not stop.

"The bandaged monster can be played by someone from our Suzuki family..."

"As for the mission of catching the bandaged monster, I originally wanted to give it to Xiaolan, but since Mr. Qin is here, it would be best to give it to him."

"This is the script, familiarize yourself with it first..."

Sonoko took out several scripts seriously and gave them to Qin Zhibo, Mao Li Ran and Conan respectively.

Hondou Eisuke took a look and found that his part of the script was not there, so he pointed at his nose.

"Sonoko, what about me?"

"You?" Sonoko smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I invited you so that Xiaolan couldn't refuse."

"After all, Xiaolan is a pushover. As long as she knows there are other classmates here, she will definitely not refuse to come here again."

"Sorry! I'll treat you to dinner when this is all over!"

……

On the way to Suzuki's villa, several people familiarized themselves with the script in the car.

The script is not long, and it is almost all about things that have happened. In fact, it is just the first day of the bandage monster incident.

The script was only slightly modified at the ending, with the bandaged monster being caught directly, and it was a happy ending.

Half an hour later, the convoy took a detour and arrived in front of Suzuki's villa.

But just as the car stopped, a task reminder suddenly popped up in Qin Zhibo's field of vision.

Congratulations on triggering the Survival Exploration Quest – A Night in the Cemetery (Part 2)

[Task requirements: Further explore the cemetery, time limit 8 hours]

[Quest Reward: 2500 General Skill Proficiency, 1 Lucky Draw Chance, 250 Weird Knowledge Skill Proficiency]

[Mission countdown begins]

【8:00：00】

【7:59:59】

……

Seeing what was in his sight, Qin Zhibo widened his eyes in disbelief.

This is the follow-up to the "A Night in the Graveyard" quest!

Chapter 970 Communication with my younger brother

Seeing this task, Qin Zhibo remembered the "One Night in the Cemetery" task he had completed when he came to this villa last time.

But in fact, the task completion rate was only 50% at that time, and the task reward obtained was only half.

And this time's mission reward is exactly the remaining half...

"Okay, we're here, let's go in."

Yuanzi got out of the car first, opened the door and invited everyone in.

Qin Zhibo looked around at the people who were invited to help Suzuki Ayako with her treatment. There was the handsome guy with long hair from the last class reunion, and the videographer who liked to carry a video camera around and record videos everywhere.

Including Sonoko, Ran Mouri, Conan, and myself, that is, except for the murderer Takahashi Ryoichi and the deceased "acting separately" woman, all the people from last time are here.

In addition, there is also Eisuke Hondou, who is just responsible for making a cameo appearance since there is no script.

Also accompanying them was a group of Suzuki family's black-clad men. They were scattered and hiding in the forests around the villa and would not enter the villa until the treatment was completed.

……

Everyone entered the villa, closed the door, and stood in the hall. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

Suzuki Ayako sat on the sofa with her hands tangled together, while Sonoko stood next to her sister.

Qin Zhibo stood near the entrance with Conan, Mao Lilan, and Hondou Eisuke.

The rest of the people also stood separately in places they thought were safe, looking at each other, but without saying anything, their eyes seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Although the script is planned in advance, not everyone can remember the lines perfectly.

Moreover, it is difficult for these people to overcome psychological obstacles in a short period of time.

After all, it was only less than two months ago that horrific case...

Seeing that no one spoke, Yuanzi could only force a smile to break the deadlock.

"Long time no see! We're having a party again today, everyone's having a great time..."

"Heart……"

As she spoke, Sonoko herself felt so embarrassed that she couldn't stand it anymore. Her voice became smaller and smaller until it was drowned in the silence.

The script is not like this...

But it’s not everyone’s fault for not wanting to cooperate, it’s just that it’s really too difficult.

Such terrible things happened here, a horrific case that no normal person would want to recall.

We had no choice but to return here when the dead were still warm.

Just when Yuanzi was extremely embarrassed, his fingernails dug into his flesh, and he wanted to shout "Help", a mature voice saved him.

"Wow~"

"What a huge villa this is! Everyone, how about we start by assigning the rooms?"

Qin Zhibo's acting is a bit exaggerated and his expressions are a bit artificial, but it is already excellent among this group of people.

Conan immediately chimed in, "Sister Xiaolan, let's go upstairs and get a bigger room!"

"Let's go~Sister Xiaolan~"

Conan grabbed Ran Mouri's hand and went to the second floor.

As a "scheming frog", he also confirmed in his words that he would sleep in the same room with Ran Mouri this time.

Another night full of benefits.

"Yes, let's go up and find a room."

"Let's go..."

Led by someone, the rest of the people also got down to business.

……

On the second floor, Qin Zhibo chose a double room for himself.

I chose a double room for no other reason than that the balcony of this room faces the cemetery on the back mountain, which is convenient for my movements at night.

After packing up the luggage he didn't bring with him, Qin Zhibo walked out of the room and walked around the corridor on the second floor.

The door in Mao Lilan's room that she had broken last time has been repaired and there is no trace of it left.

I went downstairs and waited for a while, and other people came down one after another.

Perhaps because everyone had calmed down in the room, everyone's activities gradually got back on track.

Last time it was Suzuki Ayako who prepared dinner, but given Ayako's current condition, Sonoko became the one who cooked.

But although it is called cooking dinner, you don’t actually need to cook. There are pre-prepared dishes arranged by the Suzuki family in the refrigerator, and you just need to heat them up.

The rest of the people sat at the dining table and on the sofa and started chatting.

Everyone was chatting idly, but no one mentioned the last class reunion.

Hondou Eisuke was very curious about the events of the last class reunion and wanted to ask about it, but no one brought it up. He then remembered that he was just a bystander, so he could only remain silent.

After chatting for a while, the handsome guy with long hair stood up from his chair and invited Mao Lilan to go out for a walk.

"How about we go outside together?"

"I..." Mao Lilan forced a smile. Due to the psychological trauma of last time, she wanted to refuse, but then she thought that this was the arrangement of the script, so she had to agree.

"OK then……"

The conversation between the two was extremely unnatural. They didn't even say what they were going to do outside. Ran Mao Li walked out like a prisoner, with her hands clenched, following the long-haired handsome guy.

As a follower, Conan naturally had to follow regardless of whether there was a script or not.

But at this moment, Hondou Eisuke behind him could no longer sit still.

"Well, can you take me for a walk too?"

"what?"

The handsome guy with long hair turned around and was stunned. This was different from what was in the script.

According to the script, after he and Ran Mouri come back from a walk, they will say in unison that they encountered a "bandaged monster" in the forest, which will first cause Suzuki Ayako to panic.

The handsome guy with long hair cast an inquiring look at Yuanzi in the kitchen, meaning "bring it" or "not bring it".

Yuanzi was also a little confused. When her brain was working fast, Qin Zhibo stood up from the sofa.

"If you're going for a walk, take me with you."

"Uncle, I also like taking a walk~"

Qin Zhibo walked up, put his arm around Hondou Eisuke's shoulders, and led him out of the villa.

……

The four of them, plus a primary school student, came to the familiar forest entrance and strolled together for a while before Qin Zhibo suggested they go their separate ways.

"My brother and I are going for a walk over there. Please do as you please."

"But I..."

Hondou Eisuke looked at Mao Li Ran with some reluctance in his eyes, but was forcibly pulled aside by Qin Zhibo's strong arms.

It's quite a vivid picture to see a middle-aged man hugging a thin high school student.

Conan gave a glance and continued to follow Mouri Ran. Together with the long-haired handsome guy, the three of them walked into the depths of the forest.

……

Qin Zhibo and Hondou Eisuke were walking in the silent forest. Judging from their stature, they looked more like father and son.

As they walked, Qin Zhibo suddenly spoke and broke the silence.

"Actually, you like Xiaolan, right?"

Hondou Eisuke's face was shocked, and he quickly waved his hands to deny it, "No, no! I'm just concerned about my classmates!"

In a panic, Hondou Eisuke subconsciously explained why he had just wanted to take a walk with them.

But as the old saying goes, explanation is cover-up, and cover-up is the truth.

Qin Zhibo smiled slightly, revealing an expression that said, "I understand everything." "Actually, it's normal for a teenager to like Xiaolan. But you don't have a chance anymore..."

When this topic was mentioned, Hondou Eisuke's expression suddenly became serious.

"Is it because... Kudo Shinichi?"

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised, "You, you still remember that kid? You did a good job on your homework~"

“Although there may be reasons for this…”

"But the most important thing is that you are about to leave here and leave everything you are familiar with."
