Chapter 316 Bloodstained Notebook
Suzuki Sonoko said very seriously, "I will go back to that tree and tie the red handkerchief to the branch!"
Mao Lilan was a little embarrassed for a moment, and advised: "Why don't you just forget it? There are so many handkerchiefs hanging there. Even if you hang them up, Mr. Kyogoku won't know which one is yours, right?"
"And the uncle in the afternoon also said that the host family was very annoyed because of this matter."
Unfortunately, Suzuki Sonoko's determination was still difficult to change. She turned around and began to persuade Mao Lilan: "Xiaolan, imagine that one day you and Shinichi made an appointment to go out on a date..."
Mao Lilan thought of Conan who was right beside her, her face turned red and she subconsciously retorted: "What are you talking about! Who wants to date a guy like that!"
Conan: ??? No, I'm right next to you. Can you say that in front of me?
Yuya covered his mouth with the back of his hand to hide his smile, but he still made a small giggle noise.
Conan's brow darkened even more and he glared at Yuya fiercely. This guy just likes to watch the fun!
Suzuki Sonoko waved her hands: "I'm just giving an example! An example!"
Mao Lilan also realized that she had overreacted. She glanced at Conan secretly and said with a wry smile: "Well, then you continue."
Suzuki Sonoko continued: "You made an appointment with Shinichi and wore red clothes to meet her, but before you showed up, another beautiful woman in red clothes passed by Shinichi, and then Shinichi thought it was you and almost left with that woman..."
"He dares!" Mao Lilan slammed the table with a bang, and the guests around looked at her in surprise and confusion.
Suzuki Sonoko: Didn’t I tell you to give examples? Why do you have to react so strongly?
Conan shrank his head, not knowing whether Mouri Ran did it intentionally or unintentionally, but the punch just now hit him right in front of him, causing the soup in the bowl to splash onto his face.
Conan wanted to say that he would not go with another woman, but due to his current identity, he could not say such words in front of Suzuki Sonoko. He could only take the blame with tears in his eyes.
Suzuki Sonoko coughed lightly and continued, "You showed up at this time, but you were too busy going out so you didn't wear red clothes... Isn't this scene the same as now?"
Conan looked speechless with empty eyes, thinking to himself, Sonoko is talking nonsense again? Why can't he hear that there is nothing to care about?
After listening to this, Mao Lilan frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Suzuki Sonoko looked at Miyano Shiho again: "Mio-chan, what do you think?"
Miyano Shiho, who was just watching the fun, didn't expect that she would be asked this question suddenly. After being stunned for a moment, she began to imagine the scene.
If I and Yuya make an appointment to go out...
Suddenly, Miyano Shiho and Mao Lilan looked at each other, saw the determination in each other's eyes, nodded, and looked at Suzuki Sonoko at the same time, and said in unison: "Let's go, Sonoko, now, immediately, right away!"
Suzuki Sonoko smiled victoriously.
Yuya & Conan: No, were you two so easily fooled by Suzuki Sonoko?
···
Under Suzuki Sonoko's somewhat strange persuasion, Miyano Shiho and Mao Li Ran both decided to accompany her back to tie the red handkerchiefs.
Although Yuya and Conan didn't understand the logic at all, they couldn't just ignore it and had to go along.
It started to get dark.
Yuya yawned, put his hands behind his head and asked, "Sonoko, although I came with you, how are you going to let Brother Kyogoku find your red handkerchief among so many? From the outside, there is no difference between them, right?"
Suzuki Sonoko smiled and showed off her masterpiece like she was presenting a treasure. She glued a red handkerchief to a small wooden stick to make a small flag, and wrote the big word "Sonoko" on it with a black marker.
"If it's hung on the tree like this, Ah Zhen will be able to see it at a glance, right? And the way I hang this red handkerchief is different from the other red handkerchiefs, so it's more commemorative!"
Yuya's mouth twitched slightly, he had to admit that Suzuki Sonoko's idea was quite unique.
Several people walked towards the rock. The sun had almost sunk below the horizon, and the light in the maple forest began to grow dimmer.
From time to time, bursts of bird calls could be heard around, which sounded quite strange in such a place.
Mao Lilan couldn't help but shrink behind Suzuki Sonoko, looking left and right in some dark directions, and said with some concern: "Will something suddenly appear here?"
Suzuki Sonoko said nonchalantly: "How could that be? Besides, even if there really are monsters and ghosts, isn't Yu still here?"
Yuya:... Sonoko, you think too highly of me. I still can't deal with monsters and demons.
However, he did not refute, but gave Mao Lilan a reassuring smile.
Mao Lilan finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked with her back straighter.
At this moment, Miyano Shiho suddenly came up, hugged Yuya's arm, and whispered, "I'm scared."
You also wanted to type a question mark, but he didn't. Instead, he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, if there really are any monsters coming out, I promise to beat them so hard that they will run away in panic!"
Then he put his arms around Miss Shiho's slender waist, holding her tightly against him, giving her a sense of security.
Miyano Shiho pursed her lips and smiled.
Pink bubbles began to float around the two.
Seeing the two of them walking close to each other without any hesitation, Suzuki Sonoko, Mao Lilan and Conan were immediately: ???
How come these two can be so affectionate wherever they go? Shouldn't they be here?
Suzuki Sonoko's face puffed up with anger and she quickened her pace forward. Seeing this, Mouri Ran hurriedly followed, and Conan also quickened his pace with a dark frown on his face.
Conan was walking very quickly, but suddenly he stepped on something. He was caught off guard and lost his balance, falling flat on his face.
Mao Lilan hurried over to help him: "Conan, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Conan spat out the grass in his mouth, turned around and saw that what tripped him was actually a notebook with Hozumi's name in katakana written on the cover.
"Hey, isn't this the notebook of that uncle?" Youye raised his eyebrows, bent down to pick up the notebook, and felt it was wet in his hands. He looked down and found that his hands were covered with black liquid.
No, it's blood! It just looks a little black in the dim light.
Yuya's expression froze, he looked around, his sight fixed on one direction, his detective's intuition told him there was something there.
"Everyone, walk slower." Youya reminded.
"What's wrong?" Suzuki Sonoko in front looked back in confusion and stopped walking.
"Maybe a crime has happened," Youya spread out his palm, "There's fresh blood on this book."
The blood on the notebook has not dried yet, which means it was just stained. The murderer may be chasing the uncle, but no one was heard calling for help or screaming around, so the murderer should have killed everyone.
"What, blood?" Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran were shocked.
After hearing this, Conan subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but Yuya was quick to grab him by the back of the collar and pulled him back.
"Don't chase him. The murderer may still be nearby and he is armed with a weapon. Don't take it lightly." Youya reminded.
Although Yuya is not afraid of the armed murderer, he cannot chase after him because there are Suzuki Sonoko and Miyano Shiho who are not capable of fighting with him.
After being reminded, Conan also realized this and suppressed his anxious mood and followed Yuya's legs.
Conan is impulsive, and this is even more obvious in the original animation.
But that's also because there are very few people around him who are as capable as him, so he seems like a fool.
But now that Yuya is here, plus the size difference allows Yuya to calm him down physically at any time, so gradually, Conan sometimes gets used to listening to Yuya.
"Let's go over and take a look. Xiaolan, please be careful around you." Youya said.
After experiencing the full moon incident, Mao Lilan has made great growth in her character and her karate skills have also greatly improved.
Ordinary criminals no longer scare her, and You can safely hand over some of the security tasks to her.
Mao Lilan nodded solemnly, squinted her eyes and walked at the end, constantly observing the movements around her.
Everyone walked forward cautiously.
