"Thank you for your help. I'm really sorry. I obviously invited you to be my guests..."

At the dinner table, Suzuki Ayako was still blaming herself for the unpleasantness that had just happened:

"It's all my fault that a good party turned into this..."

"Sister, you really shouldn't mention that matter." Yuanzi sighed.

She originally wanted to take this opportunity to find a boyfriend.

But now that the atmosphere has become so dull, no one is thinking about falling in love anymore...

"Sister Ayako, does that thing you just mentioned refer to 'Atsuko'? What happened two years ago?"

A certain detective had a keen sense of smell, and he vaguely felt that there was some connection between the bandaged monster who appeared this time and Atsuko.

Ayako hesitated for a moment:

"Tunzi hanged herself two years ago... Since then, the members of our club have never met each other again. This time, I also spent a lot of effort to bring together friends I haven't seen for a long time...

.In the end, I was still screwed up.”

Ye Gengyi brought out the last dish. When he heard her say this, he said calmly:

"No, the one who really should apologize should be the guy who dares not see anyone. Your current self-blaming behavior is equivalent to the theory of victim guilt. You feel that it is your own fault that led to this result. This is a disease.

, it can be cured.”

Well...

Ayako opened her mouth, but her words of thanks were still stuck on her lips.

Everyone looked sideways at Ye Gengyi. Is this comfort? Isn’t this comfort?

Looking at Ye Gengyi's calm expression, Yuanzi suddenly reflected that in addition to being handsome, looking for a boyfriend must also pass a certain level of emotional intelligence, otherwise he would be pissed off if he occasionally chatted with her.

"It turns out I didn't do anything wrong..." Ayako muttered, feeling that her mood seemed to be much better, "I'll go ask everyone to eat!"

Ye Gengyi watched Lingzi go upstairs and suddenly said: "Except for the diligent fat man on the roof, the other few people are not suitable for being friends."

Conan was curious: "Why does Brother Gengyi think so?"

Ye Gengyi thought for a while, "That guy is very attentive. Ayako said that this is the first gathering for them in two years. In other words, even if a normal person knows that it will rain, it is impossible to pay attention to whether the roof will rain in advance.

It's leaking, of course, if a person with this kind of personality wants to do something bad, it would be quite scary."

Well...

Are you the scarier one? You were obviously praising me for being a friend before...

Conan and Xiaolan were speechless again.

"Oh, it would be nice if Brother Gengyi could say a few less words occasionally..." Yuanzi sighed, feeling suddenly disillusioned.

...

At the dinner table, several people seemed to be enjoying themselves, as if they had forgotten the unpleasantness just now.

Kakutani Hiroki held the camera and prepared to capture a few videos, "Ayako, it seems that everyone hasn't arrived yet..."

"Chikako is sleeping, Takahashi..." Ayako looked up and happened to see Ryoichi Takahashi on the balcony on the second floor: "Takahashi, dinner is ready!"

"knew."

Takahashi took off his raincoat and was about to go downstairs. Suddenly he seemed to hear something behind him and shouted: "Who! Who is there!"

"What's wrong Takahashi?"

"There's someone at the window downstairs!"

By the window?

Everyone looked along the direction.

Just outside the window, the bandaged man passed by holding Chikako Ikeda hostage.

"It's that guy!"

"He, what does he want to do with Chikako?"

After a brief hesitation, several people rushed to the window and looked toward the woods. However, under the cover of the dark night, they could not see clearly what was over there with the naked eye.

"Damn it, it's so dark and raining, where are you going?"

Ohta Katsu was a little hesitant.

Conan's expression was solemn, and he saw several men standing by the window hesitating. He decisively picked up the flashlight hanging beside him, jumped up and chased directly into the forest.

...This guy really doesn't know how to be humble at all.

Ye Gengyi watched Conan leave, recalling the scene that flashed across his vision just now, feeling a little strange.

Is that bandage guy that tall?

Chikako Ikeda's height is about 165 centimeters, and the heads of the two people in the line of sight were almost at the same level, which means that the height of the man with the bandage must be at least 180 centimeters to ensure that he will not be dragged down by the other person when running in the dark.

But on the bridge, the man seemed to be only about 170 centimeters tall.

Could it be that there is more than one bandage weirdo? Or...that person used some kind of trick?

"Hey! Takahashi, come down quickly!" Ota Sheng looked ugly. He noticed that Ye Gengyi was still sitting on the chair and was very dissatisfied: "And you guys! Don't be stunned, Chikako has been taken away.

"

Oh? Sure enough, some kind of trick was used...

Very obvious tip.

Ye Gengyi stood up and said: "No need to chase, that bandage weirdo is still here."

Wha...what?!

Everyone looked over in surprise.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Hiroki Kakutani said angrily: "Chikako was kidnapped by that bandage monster right in front of our eyes..."

"Yes, Brother Gengyi, Conan has already chased him out. If we don't take action, I'm worried that the little devil will be in danger." Seeing several men stop taking action after being stopped by Ye Gengyi, Xiao

Both Lan and Yuanzi were a little anxious.

"Don't worry." Ye Gengyi waved his hands to the two women, raised his head and looked at the panicked Takahashi and said: "Although I don't know what method you used, but if you don't want me to give you a good beating later,

If so, come down quickly and explain it carefully."

"You..." Takahashi was about to argue, but suddenly a high-speed rotating dinner plate hit him directly in the face.

Takahashi Ryoichi instinctively covered his face with his hands, but something that had not been tied up in his abdomen slipped out.

suffered... suffered...

Takahashi Ryo's face was ashen.

I saw the ball rolling down along the gap between the handrails. When it reached the lobby on the first floor, it happened to roll into the middle of several people.

"ah!!!"

After seeing clearly what that thing was, everyone except Ye Gengyi subconsciously took a few steps back.

Xiaolan Yuanzi and Ayako even let out ear-piercing screams.

Ye Gengyi looked at Chikako Ikeda's head and remained silent.

He just wanted to injure Takahashi to prevent the other party from making any small moves. As for the direct smashing of Chikako's head, it was purely an unexpected gain.

"Takahashi! What is going on! Why is Chikako...her head there..."

"I...I..."
