Toru Amuro was driving and thinking about recruitment. Suddenly, with a serious look on his face, he pulled out a small mobile phone from his body.
After the call was connected, he said nothing. After three coughs sounded from the other side, he narrowed his eyes and responded with a serious expression.
"Is something wrong?"
"New mission."
The woods on both sides of the car window receded quickly, like a demon with its teeth and claws. Toru Amuro asked: "My current mission should be more important, right?"
"It's related to your current mission. Rum personally gave the order. There is a funeral commission and you must find a way to persuade Hanyu Qing'an to proceed..."
After hearing the other party explain the specific task content, Toru Amuro was silent for a moment, "I understand, is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up."
After hanging up the phone, Toru Amuro tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and murmured a name - Pisco.
…
Almost at the same time, the phone on the funeral home's table also rang. Miyano Akemi looked at the ringing phone and had a vague feeling of bad premonition. It seemed that there was a turbulent wave on the other side of the phone and was about to drown her...
The Maori Detective Agency next to the funeral home.
Mouri Kogoro was burping from wine, holding a turtle in his hand, and howling like a wolf in excitement. His daughter was not at home, so he could drink whatever he wanted, it was comfortable~
"Come on, Turtle-kun, let's drink together~"
Oogway looked at the thing he handed to him curiously, and went up to sniff it. However, the next second, the phone on the table rang. Mouri Kogoro put away his legs on the desk and successfully fell to the ground, but his skill was not enough.
Surprisingly, he still kept the beer in his hand.
Sitting on the floor, he reached for the phone from the table. As soon as he heard the voice on the other side, he seemed to wake up from alcohol in an instant. He stood up like a catapult, stood up straight with all his strength, and listened quietly to the questions from the other side, with a respectful attitude, but his tongue
But he replied somewhat knottedly:
"You mean Master Hanyu? Ah, yes, he went to a villa of the Suzuki family with...Hiccup...the daughter. It seemed like they were attending some kind of party, but specifically...Hiccup...I don't know where...
After the call was hung up, Mouri Kogoro returned to his limp posture, slumped down on the chair, picked up the beer can, took a sip, and then handed it to the turtle.
"Come on, drink some more, I'm not drunk yet..."
…
At the Suzuki family, Suzuki Shiro has received several calls and is very busy.
"What happened?" Suzuki Tomoko looked at Suzuki Shiro with a strange expression and couldn't help but ask.
Suzuki Shiro was also a little confused about the situation, and he replied hesitantly:
"It seems to be related to Yuanzi. It seems that she has met some great person. Now many people come to me to inquire about that person."
When Tomoko Suzuki heard that she was the second daughter who was worried, she couldn't help but frown and asked, "What did this girl do again? Did she get into trouble?"
Suzuki Shiro smiled and comforted: "Although Sonoko is a little more lively than her sister, she has never had any major troubles since she was a child. Compared with other families, our two daughters are already worry-free and outstanding."
"She hasn't gotten into any big trouble, but she's not as quiet as a girl. She always confronts me, which makes me so angry that I have wrinkles on my face," Tomoko Suzuki complained.
"It's probably a good thing this time, because all the people who called me were congratulating me and praising me for my keen sense of smell and superb methods..." Suzuki Shirou was pleased, "Maybe Sonoko really did something worthy of their praise.
Come on, it seems that Yuanzi still has the talent to inherit from me."
Tomoko Suzuki rolled her eyes, "Don't be too talented or not. It's getting late. It's time to rest."
Suzuki Shiro's face froze, "Uh... it's not good to rest just after eating, right? I think it's still early, and there may be a lot of phone calls tonight, so why don't I go to the study and sleep tonight?"
So as not to disturb your beauty sleep."
Tomoko Suzuki turned a deaf ear to his words, crossed her arms and stared at him, her eyes seemed to say, you continue to make up...
Suzuki Shiro sighed, "The phone..."
"Unplugging the phone line is not an important matter related to the company." Tomoko Suzuki said decisively.
"just in case……"
"If there is an emergency, Secretary Nishino will inform you."
"Ke Yuanzi..."
"Ayako is with her, is there any problem?"
"...gone"
"Then go back to your room and rest."
Suzuki Tomoko got up from the sofa, and Suzuki Shiro followed behind with some back pain.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered what those people on the phone mentioned, such as "youth", "energy", "night", "master" and other inexplicable words, and he seemed to vaguely understand something...
But why is it related to Sonoko? Shiro Suzuki couldn't figure it out. Those people were too excited and couldn't speak clearly.
"What are you doing here?"
"Coming, coming..."
…
In front of the villa's suspension bridge.
At this time, Hanyu Qing'an didn't know that people outside were already looking for him like crazy.
Little did he know that the healing skills he casually asked Peach Blossom Demon to perform would have a greater response than the resurrection of the dead, and would be more effective than his method of obtaining peace and stability through intimidation by showing off his strength.
Life is truly precious, and interests are more valuable. If the Yang Qi is strong, both can be thrown away.
It was already getting late. Hanyu Qingan looked at the desolate scenery around him, then looked at the trembling suspension bridge and the lonely villa. He felt that something was not quite right, especially when Conan was also around.
Something is even more wrong.
After finally resting for a few days, do I need to entrust another delivery to my door? However, I have already arrived, so I can’t just go back home now. Yuanzi is still waiting inside.
The three of them crossed the suspension bridge and pressed the doorbell of the villa.
There were panicked and hurried footsteps inside, and then the door suddenly opened, and Suzuki Sonoko's figure appeared in front of the three of them. If you looked past her and looked in, you could still see Suzuki Ayako's uncontrollable smile.
"Ah, Xiaolan, Hanyu-kun, are you here?" Suzuki Sonoko looked enthusiastic, then lowered her head and noticed Conan, "You little brat are here too?"
Conan laughed dryly, why do you have such a problem with me?
"Long time no see?" Hanyu Qing'an replied with a smile, always feeling that the atmosphere immediately became lively as soon as Yuanzi appeared.
"Brother Hanyu, this is not how you use it after a long time. Has your Japanese deteriorated again?" Conan couldn't help complaining.
Mao Lilan covered her mouth and snickered, looked at Suzuki Sonoko teasingly, and said, "I think President Hanyu is right."
Suzuki Sonoko said angrily: "Xiaolan, what are you talking about? Come in quickly, it's almost dark outside and it's already a bit cold."
When she turned around, she almost bumped into her sister's face. She was so frightened that she stepped back repeatedly, but Hanyu Qing'an held her back with his hands.
"What are you doing? Sister, you scared me." After Suzuki Sonoko regained her balance, she looked at Suzuki Ayako reproachfully.
Suzuki Ayako ignored her, but looked at Hanyu Qing'an with a smile, "Ah, this is Hanyu-kun, right? It's the first time we meet. I am Sonoko's sister. This kid Sonoko has caused trouble for you."
"I'm serious, Yuanzi helped me a lot."
The first meeting between Hanyu Kiyosu and Suzuki Ayako was uneventful. They just said hello and exchanged a few pleasantries. Suzuki Ayako went into the house to do her own business, leaving Suzuki Sonoko to entertain the three of them.
This made Suzuki Sonoko on the side breathe a sigh of relief. She was afraid that her sister would say something that would make her die on the spot.
"Speaking of which, why did your family buy a villa in a place like this?" Hanyu Kiyoan walked beside Suzuki Sonoko and asked her.
Suzuki Sonoko scratched her head, "I don't know, I just bought it casually, maybe because it's quiet here."
Buy whatever you want...
Since the phone call that day, Hanyu Kiyosu did some research and had a clear idea of the luxury of the Suzuki family.
But when he met Suzuki Sonoko, he still felt strange. How could she grow up with such a personality in such a family? She couldn't see the airs of the eldest lady at all, and was not much different from the girl next door——
Without this unconscious Versailles.
"Although it's quiet here, it's not a good place..." Because it was Suzuki Sonoko, Hanyu Kiyosu didn't think too much about it and said it bluntly.
"Eh? Is that so? Then I'll sell the house later." Suzuki Sonoko's reaction was also very normal, just like buying a new piece of clothing and being told it wasn't suitable, so she just disposed of it casually.
"Why isn't it a good place, President Hanyu?" Mao Lilan asked suddenly from behind. Her face was a little nervous. She had always felt a little nervous since she came here.
"Xiaolan, why do you keep calling him President Hanyu, is he so unfamiliar?" Suzuki Sonoko didn't care about the villa or not, but she cared about Mao Lilan's title.
Mao Lilan tilted her head and snickered: "Then I'll just follow you and call you Hanyu-kun."
"What do you mean you are screaming with me..." A flash of red flashed across Suzuki Sonoko's face, then she took a peek at Hanyu Kiyosu's expression and quickly changed the subject.
"I also want to know about Xiaolan's question. What's wrong with it?"
Hanyu Qing'an did not answer directly, but patted Conan on the head, "Conan should know."
"Ha?" Conan looked confused, "Why do I know, Brother Hanyu?"
"Yes, this kid knows some Feng Shui Yin and Yang secrets and so on." Suzuki Sonoko expressed disdain for Conan.
"The secret of Yin and Yang in Feng Shui?" Mao Lilan looked confused.
"Yes, this thing is actually quite popular. Many people ask someone to take a look before buying a house, but I feel that they are all scammers. They can't be as good as Hanyu-kun."
Suzuki Sonoko looked at Hanyu Kiyosu expectantly, waiting for him to say something powerful.
"..." Hanyu Qing'an expressed guilt about her expectations. He just looked at the terrain and felt it was unlucky, but he was not panic. After all, he was the one with the right to explain the mysterious side. Now the entire industry had to accommodate him.
, it should be based on him.
"Conan, I remember you like detective games, right?"
Conan nodded blankly, not knowing what he wanted to do.
"Then you should have read a lot of detective novels."
Conan continued to nod, feeling wary.
"Then what case did you think of first when you saw this villa? The suspension bridge, the villa, the only channel to the outside world..." Hanyu Qing'an followed the lead.
"Ah, I see, it's Blizzard Villa, right?" Conan looked very excited like a child who answered the correct answer after being reminded by the teacher.
Hanyu Qing'an patted his big head and made a thumping sound as a reward, "Yes, it's Blizzard Villa. Such cases usually occur in places isolated from the outside world."
"And this kind of place... is also usually called - a dead place."
"Death place? That's really unlucky." Suzuki Sonoko looked at the villa with a look of disgust. She liked it here before and thought the scenery was nice and the maple leaves outside were beautiful, but now she just felt it was eerie.
"Okay, let's take you to your room first, put down your luggage and then talk." Suzuki Sonoko clapped her hands and said, "Xiaolan and Conan's room is over here." Suzuki Sonoko led the three of them and continued walking to the second floor.
Conan was very unhappy with her title, but he appreciated her arrangement. He finally no longer had to share a room with Uncle Maori and listen to his snoring all night long, and he was still with Xiaolan...
After making arrangements for the two of them, Suzuki Sonoko took Hanyu Kiyoan to the innermost corner room. She had always stayed in this room when she came before because it had many windows and the best view.
"Hanyu-kun, your room is diagonally opposite Xiaolan's room. My sister's friends live in the remaining four rooms."
"What about your room?" Hanyu Qing'an looked around. It seemed that there were only six rooms on the second floor, and there seemed to be no rooms designed for living on the first floor.
"There is a small attic on the third floor. My sister and I live there. Why...are you asking this?" Suzuki Sonoko secretly guessed, could it be...
The image of Juliet escaping from the castle at midnight and eloping with Romeo came to her mind.
"I'm worried that you won't have anywhere to live. This villa looks quite big, but there seem to be a few rooms."
Suzuki Sonoko was inexplicably disappointed, but she still felt warm to Hanyu Qingan's concern, "It's a bit small. This villa is only for private residence, and there are not many guest rooms specially arranged."
Hanyu Qing'an nodded, then opened the door and went in. Before closing the door, he suddenly said: "If there is danger tonight, remember to hide here with me."
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the closed door, her face was red, and her heart was scratching like a cat. She wanted to open the door and ask him what he meant or what he was implying.
After going downstairs in a daze and coming to the kitchen, Suzuki Sonoko was still absent-minded, her mind full of thoughts.
"Sonoko, why are you dazing there holding the radish?" Suzuki Ayako, who was pre-processing the ingredients, looked at her sister in a funny way.
"Ah?" Suzuki Sonoko looked down, "Nothing, nothing, just thinking about something."
"Are you thinking about Hanyu-kun?" Suzuki Ayako felt that her sister was really easy to see through. Everything was written on her face and she didn't need to guess her thoughts.
"Uh...well...Hanyu-kun just told me that the villa our family bought has bad feng shui, and he advised me to sell it as soon as possible."
Suzuki Sonoko originally wanted to discuss the troubled matter with her sister directly, but she changed her words. She was obviously not like this before. She didn't know what happened recently, and she became less and less like herself...
"Hmm? Hanyu-kun...is he still good at Feng Shui?" Suzuki Ayako was a little surprised.
"Oh, I almost forgot, I haven't told you yet, Hanyu-kun runs a funeral home, so he knows everything about this." Suzuki Sonoko suddenly remembered.
Suzuki Ayako was even more surprised and hesitated to speak. Although she did not understand, she did not directly deny her sister's choice. She believed that her sister, the well-informed second lady of the Suzuki Foundation, would not fall in love with someone easily.
——Although she looks a little frizzy and silly.
So there must be something special about the other party that can attract Sonoko, who is actually very discerning.
Seeing that her sister seemed to have a misunderstanding, Suzuki Sonoko quickly explained:
"Of course Hanyu-kun is not just a funeral director, he is also an onmyoji. Wait... sister, why are you looking at me like that? He is not the kind of liar that deceives people outside, he is an onmyoji with real skills!
Just like those ancient legends, it can control shikigami!"
"By the way, he also has a dragon. I touched it with my own hands... Bah, you can't fake it if you have touched it!"
Suzuki Ayako: It's over, I can't have this sister anymore...
