Chapter 23 Big Sister's Classmates
After putting their things away and returning to normal, when Ran Mouri and Conan went downstairs together, everyone else had already gathered in the living room.
There are three boys and two girls in the group. Except for Suzuki Sonoko's sister Suzuki Ayako, the rest are classmates of Suzuki Ayako in a club during her college years.
While Suzuki Sonoko was introducing them, Yuya observed each of them one by one.
Not to mention Suzuki Ayako, Sonoko's sister, the eldest daughter of the Suzuki Group, who always squints her eyes and has a gentle and easy-going personality. According to Sonoko's gossip, she is currently looking for a suitable marriage partner.
The man named Ota Masaru seemed rather frivolous, smoking a cigarette and wearing a headband on his forehead. Yuuya noticed that there was something wrong with the way he looked at Mao Li Ran.
Hiroki Kadaya is a photography enthusiast. He has been taking pictures with his camera since they met, regardless of whether others agree or not.
Takahashi Ryoichi is a fat man who, according to him, weighs 100 kilograms. Yuya feels that his belly is bigger than Dr. Agasa's, but in fact, Yuya knows that it is fake——
He just looks fat in the face, but he is actually not as fat as he looks. Moreover, as he used to be in charge of props, he is very good at hands-on work and his movements are neat and tidy. Whether it is repairing the roof...
Or dismemberment.
At the same time, You also noticed that his eyes were evasive when he looked at him.
This guy, has he seen me in the newspaper? Youye thought to himself, he is now famous because he often appears in newspapers, so it is not surprising that he is recognized.
Chikako Ikeda, when she was introduced, the star-chasing expert Ran Mao Li became excited when she heard her name: "Are you the scriptwriter of "Blue Kingdom"? I really like that TV show!"
"Blue Kingdom" is Chikako Ikeda's debut work during her college years. It also won the Best Newcomer Award and has now been remade into a TV series.
However, when mentioning this work, Chikako Ikeda's expression seemed a little ugly, and she changed the subject somewhat abruptly.
Of course.
Yuya remembered that this work was not her original creation, but was plagiarized from the work of a girl named Atsuko, who was also a member of the film club.
The award for the plagiarized work of Chikako Ikeda also led to Atsuko's suicide by hanging.
···
When Yuya thought of this, he heard Suzuki Ayako's voice sighing: "It's great to have a rare gathering, but if that didn't happen, it would be nice if Atsuko was here too..."
"That's enough!" Ikeda Chikako already looked unhappy. When she heard Atsuko's name, she slapped the table and stood up abruptly. "It's a rare gathering, can you please not mention that woman who ruined the fun?"
Ikeda Chikako's anger made everyone else's faces turn ugly.
Youya glanced at the fat brother sitting opposite him and found that his expression was the ugliest, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
Those who didn't know the truth were a little confused, but after all, they had just met them, so they didn't want to ask too many questions.
Suzuki Ayako, who didn't know the reason, saw her classmate suddenly get angry. She was confused and embarrassed at the same time, so she stood up and said, "Well, I'll go to the kitchen to check on dinner." She made an excuse and left.
The fat man Takahashi Ryoichi smiled innocently and said, "Then I'll go fix the roof. The weather forecast says it's going to rain, so we can prevent water from leaking in."
···
The long-haired handsome boy named Ota Masaru, one of Ayako's classmates, seems to be very interested in Mouri Ran. He pushes Mouri against the wall in a cool way and invites her to take a walk in the woods with him.
Of course Mao Lilan didn't want to go, but she hesitated and didn't know how to refuse. She had no interest in flirting with men at all.
Although this long-haired handsome guy is indeed very handsome, he grew up with Kudo Shinichi and Yuya. Although the two of them still look a little immature, they are undoubtedly handsome guys.
There are two handsome guys around her all the time, so Ran Mouri is actually quite immune to handsome guys.
Not being good at saying no, she had no choice but to look to Youya for help.
Of course, Ota Katsu saw Mao Lilan's hesitation. Based on the principle that "when a woman says no, she means yes", he directly pulled Mao Lilan's wrist and led her to the door: "Let's go, let's go. The air in the mountains is much better than in the city. Let's breathe more."
Yuya naturally received Mao Lilan's distress signal, and stood in front without hesitation, grabbing Ota Sheng's hand and exerting a little force: "Sorry, my companion doesn't seem to be willing."
He could tell at a glance that this man was a veteran in the love field. How could Yuya let the ignorant Mao Li Ran go with such a man?
What’s more, Conan was watching from the side. Didn’t you see that his eyes were about to burst into flames?
Ota Katsu felt as if his hand was clamped by a vise. It was extremely painful. He couldn't help but hiss and let go of Mouri Ran. Seeing this, Yuya also let go of his hand.
Ota Masaru rubbed his wrist and looked at Yuya with dissatisfaction: "Don't meddle in other people's business." He was planning to use his adult status to oppress Yuya.
But how could Yuya be afraid?
He spoke slowly: "It's very humid outside. It should rain soon. There are a lot of snakes and insects in the mountains at night. I don't think it's suitable to go out."
As he spoke, he took a step forward. He was about the same height as Ota Masaru, and looked him in the eyes with an oppressive gaze: "You should have a good rest in the villa."
Ota Katsu felt like he was being stared at by a tiger. He subconsciously took a step back, but immediately realized that he was embarrassed. He quickly brushed his hair with his hand and said in a nonchalant manner, "Hahaha, you're right. You've been tired from traveling. So take a good rest."
As he said this, he hurried upstairs, covering his still aching wrist.
Yuya looked at Ota Katsu's back with a scornful smile on his lips, scumbag.
Mao Lilan came over with lingering fear: "Thank you, Yuya."
"It's okay," Youya waved his hand, "Xiaolan, you can be a little tougher sometimes. You can just refuse to do something you don't want to do."
"I understand..." Mao Lilan lowered her head embarrassedly.
Chikako Ikeda, who was planning to go out for a walk, heard what Yuya said about snakes and insects, looked down at her short skirt and exposed legs, and finally gave up the trip and returned to her room silently.
