She stroked the coat, recalling the events of that night.

When exactly did it start?

When did you start to care about him?

At first, I wasn't aware of it, but upon closer reflection, I realized that many things had actually been foreshadowed long ago.

She put the clothes back, walked to the window, opened it, and looked down at the dark road below, as if she had returned to that sleepless night when she tossed and turned.

When the heart starts beating abnormally.

That was the beginning of the fall.

Chapter 221 Good Eye for Insight

At nine o'clock in the morning, a Jeep parked downstairs at the Maori Detective Agency.

Qingze sat in the driver's seat, wearing sunglasses. He looked at the people waiting by the roadside, rolled down the window, and rested one hand on the window frame.

Sunlight streamed through the car window, illuminating his dark gray jacket, the necklace around his neck, and the several rings on his hands.

Sonoko Suzuki, arm in arm with Makoto Kyogoku, looked at his pose and her eyes lit up.

Wow, so handsome!

As soon as Sonoko Suzuki said this, Makoto Kyogoku, who was standing next to her, immediately turned his hostile gaze toward Aozawa.

Qingze raised an eyebrow and sized up this young nobleman who was said to have been undefeated in 400 matches of kicking.

Although I haven't watched his matches, a vague intuition tells me that this person is very good.

Among those he considers capable, there are very few.

The person in front of me should be about the same age as Ran Mouri.

Another one using cheat codes?

interesting.

“Mr. Aozawa, you’re wearing a ring!” Ran Mouri stared at his hand resting on the car window, her eyes sparkling.

A coin appeared between Qingze's fingers, spinning and jumping nimbly between his five fingers. Finally, he flicked it with his thumb, sending the coin flying into Ran Mouri's palm.

"I found the extra one when I opened the drawer this morning."

Ran Mouri caught the coin, smiling without saying a word.

Of course, she bought it secretly.

Not only did she have a ring, but the necklace around her neck was also bought by her.

There's no way around it; as a girl, I just can't resist seeing things like this when I'm shopping.

Especially when this kind of jewelry is worn by another person.

It has the same enjoyment as playing a dress-up game.

It's a pity Qingze doesn't have pierced ears, otherwise wearing an earring would definitely give it a different feel.

"Good taste." Qingze acknowledged Ran Mouri's good judgment.

Wearing a small accessory occasionally is also nice.

Sonoko listened to their conversation with a meaningful look in her eyes.

Oh dear, the gifts have already been presented.

She stood on tiptoe and whispered in Makoto Kyogoku's ear.

I don't know what she said, but Kyogoku Makoto's hostility towards Aozawa disappeared.

Ran Mouri admired Aozawa's look today.

As expected, he looks the coolest when he's the one doing it.

He casually rested one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the car window, his eyes hidden behind black sunglasses; his style was simply captivating.

She tried to look cool by using Qingze's body and striking poses, but it just didn't quite capture the essence of the task.

"Get in the car!"

Ran Mouri nodded, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.

Today she wore a green coat over a dark sweater, a gray skirt, and over-the-knee socks.

Beautiful as always.

Qingze's gaze fell on her legs, looking at the exposed skin of her thighs, puzzled.

"Is your upper body and lower body in the same season?"

“Yes!” Ran Mouri nodded seriously.

It hasn't snowed yet. If it snows, we'll have to wear long skirts and thicker socks.

Sonoko Suzuki pulled Makoto Kyogoku into the back seat. She was dressed similarly, except that she had changed her skirt into shorts.

Qingze glanced at it and said he couldn't understand the way girls dress these days.

As he started the car, his gaze fell upon the new employee at Poirot's Cafe.

Through a layer of glass, her face was not clearly visible, but it could be roughly determined that she was a woman, and her figure was taller than that of an average woman.

"A new employee has joined the coffee shop?"

"Yes. I arrived yesterday."

Ran Mouri also looked towards the coffee shop, but by then the car had already driven past, and the scene inside the coffee shop was no longer visible.

With other people around, Qingze didn't ask any more questions and turned to head towards his residence.

Under Ran Mouri's questioning gaze, he went back into the house, picked up a handbag, put it in the trunk, and continued driving.

Ran Mouri mimicked Aozawa's earlier action, spinning the coin in her hand.

Having experience spinning a lighter, spinning a coin isn't difficult either.

No one spoke; only melodious music played in the car.

"Have you contacted your teacher?" Qingze asked as he drove.

Ran Mouri knew who he was referring to, and her smile was somewhat helpless.

"Hmm. Mr. Chris is very interested in my love life..."

In the past few days, when she chatted with Vermouth, Vermouth couldn't help but subtly probe whether Qingze had done anything to her.

They were afraid she would be bullied or deceived.

"She certainly knows how to worry."

Although some time has passed, Qingze is still very unhappy with Vermouth's over-the-top approach.

How useful is the identity of Koniak's girlfriend alone?

As a result of her arrival, Gin started targeting Ran Mouri, the Boss found out, and Rum is probably investigating as well.

They are more than capable of causing trouble than accomplishing anything.

"What teacher? Which teacher?" Sonoko asked, confused.

How come she didn't know that Xiaolan had another teacher?

“It was Miss Chrisvinyard, she took me as her student.”

"What!?" Upon hearing the name, Sonoko Suzuki exclaimed in surprise.

"Such a big star took you as a student, and you didn't even tell me, Xiao Lan! That's outrageous!"

"Ah, didn't I tell you? I thought I already told you." Ran Mouri looked astonished, as if she really thought she had.

Vermouth's identity was special, and she didn't want Sonoko to get involved, so she didn't mention it.

Therefore, I can only tell a little white lie.

"What? You can forget something like this..."

Sonoko believed it, thinking that she really had forgotten.

She didn't dwell on the matter, and said with great interest:

"Miss Chris is an international superstar! I really like her movies. When are you going to bring me an autograph?"

"I'll visit my teacher in a few days, and I'll bring you a copy then."

Sonoko leaned forward, blinking her eyes, "Can I come along?"

"I'm afraid that won't work..."

"OK then."

The car continued driving, and the two girls chatted about all sorts of topics. Qingze would occasionally chime in with a few words, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

Makoto Kyogoku listened to their casual conversation while looking out the window.

The car had already left Tokyo, and the surrounding scenery changed from the city to the mountains and forests.

Before long, the car arrived at the campsite.

Just as Sonoko Suzuki described it, this is a luxury camping site.

The tent was set up on a wooden platform, and inside it was complete with a bed, a lamp, and a bathroom.

Outside the tent are an open-air sofa and a barbecue grill.

Sonoko Suzuki pointed to two adjacent tents and said:

"Xiaolan and I will share a room, and you two men will share a room."

Qingze nodded, no problem.

Makoto Kyogoku had no objections.

He observed Qingze carefully.

He didn't feel it much when he was in the car, but after he got out, he inexplicably felt a sense of danger from this person.

It's not the kind of danger you feel when you encounter real danger, but rather the kind of danger you feel when facing a powerful enemy and having to be extremely cautious.

Even though the person in front of him was just standing there casually with one hand in his pocket, his intuition told him that this person was the most formidable enemy he had ever encountered.

When I was facing him, my body tensed up instinctively.

This has never happened before.

Chapter 222 Aozawa vs. Kyogoku Makoto

"It's still early, let's go have some fun!" Sonoko Suzuki pointed to the mountaintop. "There's a zipline at the top where you can go ziplining. There's a river over there where you can go boating and fishing. What do you want to do?"

"Mr. Aozawa, let's go fishing!" Ran Mouri said enthusiastically.

"I'm not going," Qingze refused outright.

He must be out of his mind to go fishing with Ran Mouri.

It's not so bad if you don't catch any fish, but if you see someone next to you with a bucket full of fish, then you're not in a good mood.

Ran tugged at his sleeve and pleaded, "Come on, come on! We'll definitely catch something!"

Qingze glanced at her sideways, "You think you can just catch it because you say so?"

"Trust me! You can definitely do it!"

"What if you can't catch anything?"

"Hmm, then I'll help you fish."

Qingze rolled his eyes.

"Isn't Mr. Aozawa's fishing skill quite good?" Sonoko wondered, overhearing their conversation.

Subaru Okiya had previously mentioned wanting to ask Aozawa for advice on fishing.

Qingze: "..."
