Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 96: Stay tonight?

Maori Detective Agency.

Because they didn’t know when the rain would stop, and it was boring to wait around, the two simply chatted and watched TV.

Soon, a piece of news on TV attracted their attention.

"The next news is now. A murder occurred in Mihua Mall at six o'clock this afternoon. The deceased was the president of a company..."

"...The bodies of the deceased's friends were also found under the bed in the president's home..."

"This case has been solved by the Heisei era Sherlock Holmes, high school detective Kudo Shinichi!"

"It is reported that he also solved another case this morning..."

Watching Kudo Shinichi chatting with a beautiful female reporter on TV and smiling brightly, Mao Lilan was not in a good mood.

On the karate training ground, it was enough to leave her behind to solve the case. Anyway, she had already become accustomed to this kind of thing.

But the crux of the problem is that she is injured now, but the other party doesn't even care!

Yes, the other party didn't know that she was injured, but it had been so long, couldn't he call her and ask her if the training was over? Don’t you have it home?
  As a result, not only did the other party not go back to look for her, they didn't even call her. They just focused on solving their own case!
  Such excessive behavior, even with Xiaolan's character, can't help but feel a little resentful.

It can be said that if Kudo Shinichi appeared in front of him now, she would like to give him a pink punch to let him know how serious the consequences of abandoning her are!

Seeing Mao Lilan's gloomy face and looking unhappy, Bai Ye was a little worried that the TV remote control would be crushed by her when she was angry, so he decided to tell her a story to divert her attention and save the other party. I have been following a certain high school detective, "By the way, speaking of friends, I suddenly remembered a little story!"

"Xiaolan, do you want to listen?"

Taking a deep breath and temporarily suppressing her dissatisfaction with a certain high school detective, Mao Lilan forced a smile, "Well... Byakuya-kun, tell me!"

Although she didn't know what kind of story Bai Ye wanted to tell, it was rare that the other party was interested, so she naturally wouldn't refuse.

Besides, it would be nice to use a story to lighten her mood, and save her from getting angry over the things her bastard childhood sweetheart did!
  While thinking this, she turned off the TV!
  She really didn't want to see some high school detective again.

Taking a deep look at Mao Lilan, Bai Ye raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "The name of this story is, Good Friends Back to Back!"

The title of the story may seem ordinary, but this story is quite refreshing!

Well, especially for those of you listening to it for the first time!

I believe that after Mao Lilan heard this, she would never think about Kudo Shinichi again.

Mao Lilan blinked, "Good friends back to back? This name sounds a bit warm!"

Could it be some kind of friendship story?

Could it be that Byakuya-kun saw that she was having trouble with Shinichi, so he was going to tell her a little friendship story to cheer her up?

So gentle!

Much better than some asshole high school detective!
  "Is it cozy?"

Bai Ye smiled meaningfully and did not deny it, "Well, I think so too!"

Well, I hope a certain unicorn girl will still feel this way after listening to it!

However, given the other person's personality, it is not certain that he will accidentally explode in panic.

It seems that he also needs to take relevant precautions.

While thinking like this, he told the story of his good friends back to back.

"In a girls' dormitory of a certain school, there is a pair of good friends, their names are Ke Lan and Ping Zi. Ke Lan sleeps on the upper bunk, and Ping Zi sleeps on the bottom bunk. The friendship between the two is very deep, and even their daily lives are... inseparable."

Mao Lilan tilted his head.

It feels a bit like her and Sonoko!

Could it be that Byakuya-kun was not trying to persuade her to reconcile with Shinichi, but he was just expressing his feelings?

"One summer vacation, many classmates went home, and they were the only ones left in the dormitory. So, the two agreed not to go home during the summer vacation, but to stay and work to earn money."

"But they didn't work together. Among them, Pingzi got off work earlier. One day, she waited early in the dormitory for Ke Lan to come back together. But by seven o'clock in the evening, Ke Lan didn't come back. Pingzi couldn't bear it anymore. I went out and bought a box lunch to eat.”

"It's just that time passed little by little, and at one o'clock in the morning, Ke Lan still didn't come back. Pingzi couldn't help but be a little worried, because usually Ke Lan never stayed up at night. But looking at the dark door, she really didn't have the courage She went out to look for someone, so she ran under the quilt and continued to wait, and fell asleep after waiting."

Mao Lilan always felt something was wrong, but she continued to listen patiently.

Glancing at Mao Lilan faintly, a smile flashed across Bai Ye's eyes, "When I woke up the next morning and saw that Ke Lan hadn't come back yet, Pingzi couldn't help but feel very worried. She was a little worried that her good friend was out of trouble. whats the matter."

"However, there were no mobile phones at that time, and there was no one else in the dormitory. Pingzi could only wait anxiously."

Mao Lilan was a little absent-minded.

If Sonoko disappeared, I'm afraid she would be as worried as Hirako in the story.

However, unlike Hirako in the story, she still has her father, mother, and childhood sweethearts to turn to, and Byakuya-kun will definitely be happy to help her!

Alas, I don’t know if Hirako found her good friend at the end of the story.

I hope she finds it in the end!

Thinking this way, Mao Lilan continued to listen with his ears pricked up.

"Just like this, one day passed, and it was a dark night again. Pingzi suddenly heard a familiar voice: 'Good friends, back to back...!'"

"Hearing the voice that seemed to belong to his good friend Ke Lan, Pingzi quickly got out of bed happily and wanted to greet her."

"But when she opened the door, she was surprised to find that there was no one outside."

"For a moment, she only felt a chill in her back. Because she clearly remembered that except for her and Ke Lan, all the other classmates in the dormitory building were gone! So, where did that voice come from? Or, Have other students returned to school?"

Bai Ye told the story calmly, without any exaggeration or deliberate intimidation, or even any emotional ups and downs. He just read the story word by word in a calm tone.

However, it was obviously a very common phrase, but for some reason, Mao Lilan, who was still waiting to hear the follow-up of the story, suddenly felt a little cold around her.

"Just like this, every night, Pingzi would often hear that voice inexplicably: 'Good friends, back to back...!"

"Three days have passed unknowingly, but today, that strange sound suddenly disappeared. Pingzi didn't pay attention, just sat by the window and looked outside, looking forward to his good friend Ke Lan can come back soon."

"At this moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew into the dormitory. The eerie feeling made Pingzi seem to hear the familiar voice again: 'Good friends, back to back!'"

"After realizing this, Pingzi suddenly had an ominous premonition."

"Her upper bunk is Ke Lan, and her lower bunk is herself. So, where will Ke Lan be? And who made the voice that seems to be Ke Lan? And where did it come from?"

In fact, not only Pingzi in the story, but also Mao Lilan, who was listening to the story, suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and his face became a little stiff. Having a clear view of Mao Lilan's expression, Bai Ye prepared to defend against Mao Lilan's attack while continuing to conclude the story, "Hingzi took a deep breath, trembling his hands, and then suddenly looked towards Underneath the bed!!!”

"Under the bed board, I saw Ke Lan, whose face was covered in blood, his hair disheveled, and his body was nailed to the bed board with long nails!... The other party's terrifying eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he was staring at him intently. Hold her!"

"It turns out that Ke Lan never left the dormitory. In the past three days, Pingzi and Ke Lan's bodies have been sleeping together back to back!"

"Faintly, there was a gloomy voice in the air again, with a hint of terrifying smile, and Pingzi suddenly felt a chill in his back..."

"Because that voice is right next to her ear!"

"It was shouting..."

"Good friends, back to back...!"

"what……"

Mao Lilan could no longer hold back the fear in her heart and screamed.

At the same time, the pink fist in his hand kept hitting Bai Ye.

"Ahhh! Byakuya-kun, I hate it, stop talking!"

"Snapped……"

Bai Ye caught Mao Lilan's pink fist, feeling the terrifying force on it, and the corner of Bai Ye's mouth twitched slightly.

Good guy, this punch requires at least ten years of skill. If he hadn't been prepared for it, he might not have been able to catch it.

No, even if he was prepared, he almost overturned.

It seems that a certain unicorn girl is really afraid of ghosts and things like that!
  Even if it’s just a story about ghosts!

Otherwise, how could the strength suddenly increase several times?

"Okay, Xiaolan, calm down! There are no ghosts in this world! Ghost stories are all fake!"

"And as long as I'm here, even if there are ghosts or something in this world, I won't let them hurt you!"

After hearing this, Mao Lilan finally calmed down from the panic.

After being frightened and frightened, Mao Lilan couldn't help but become angry, "Bai Yejun...how could you scare me like this!"

To actually scare him by telling such a story, someone is really evil!
  And how heartwarming is this story!
  Some big liar!
  Thank you for trusting her so much!

From now on, she will never believe the other person's words again!
  Well, especially when the other person wants to tell a story!
  "Sorry, I didn't know you were so afraid of horror stories!" Bai Ye laughed dryly, "How about I tell you another story as compensation?"

Mao Lilan looked frightened and shook her head wildly, "No! I don't want to listen!"

Are you kidding? I've already been fooled once, how could she do it again!
  Besides, she doesn’t want to hear ghost stories!

No, she didn't even want to hear anything related to the word ghost!

Bai Ye felt a little pity.

It was late at night and it was still raining heavily, so it was a perfect time to listen to ghost stories!

But seeing Mao Lilan's eyes full of fear and her face turned pale, he couldn't continue to bully the other party because of his bad taste, so he had to give up!
  ……

"Crash!"

The sound of pouring rain came from the window, accompanied by roaring thunder and whistling wind from time to time.

Looking at the howling wind outside the window, and the raindrops that fell from the sky as fast as broken beads, and scattered all over the ground, Mao Lilan, who had barely calmed down her emotions, frowned slightly, "The rain is getting heavier and heavier. Woolen cloth……"

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Bai Ye understood Mao Lilan's worries and said considerately, "If it doesn't work, Xiaolan, please give me the broken umbrella. Anyway, this is the journey, and it will be over with patience!"

The rain was so heavy, and he had just heard the ghost story, so he didn't believe it. Mao Lilan still dared to stay alone in the office.

Mao Lilan rejected him without hesitation, "No!"

Not to mention that the umbrella was a folding umbrella and was broken. Let's just say that the big trees outside were swaying wildly in the wind and might break at any time.

If you hold an umbrella in this situation, not to mention that the umbrella will go straight to the sky, even people may be blown away!

Thinking like this, Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment, then gritted his silver teeth, "It's raining so heavily today, and it's too late. Mr. Bai Ye, why don't you stay for the night?"

I thought it was just a thunderstorm, but I didn't expect it to get heavier and heavier.

It’s raining so heavily. If you go back in the rain during the day, you might catch a cold or get sick.

Not to mention the thunder outside and the howling wind.

This kind of weather is the easiest place to get into trouble!
  If Bai Ye accidentally had an accident on her way back, she would probably have a troubled conscience for the rest of her life!
  What's more, after hearing someone's horror story about "good friends, back to back", she really didn't dare to stay alone in the room!
  ——Although her strength is off the charts, in fact she is not only capable of thunder, she is also afraid of ghosts, snakes, and all other scary things.

In other words, she was afraid of everything that a girl should be afraid of!
  Especially afraid of ghosts! Even hearing ghost stories and monster legends will scare you!
  Bai Ye showed a hint of hesitation just right, "Isn't this... inconvenient?"

When a man and a woman live alone in the same room, problems can easily arise.

He wasn't worried that Mao Lilan would attack him, but he didn't have that confidence in himself!

But it can actually keep playing?

Is it so powerful?

Well, it seems that he underestimated the power of Lady Luck!
  No, it’s possible that he underestimated Xiaolan’s luck as a koi carp!
  After all, the prop of Lady Luck’s smile comes from the opponent!

"No inconvenience!"

Mao Lilan's pretty face turned red, and she pretended to be calm and said, "Aren't we friends? Isn't it normal for friends to stay overnight with each other?"

Since she decided to let Bai Ye stay overnight, she would naturally not regret it.

And in the current situation, unless she wants something to happen to Bai Ye's friend, letting Bai Ye go back in the rain would be tantamount to killing him!

As a kind-hearted little girl, she would naturally not do something that was undoubtedly murderous.

But as a girl, when she was alone at home, she took the initiative to invite a boy to stay overnight. This kind of thing made her somewhat shy.

Seeing that Mao Lilan had made up her mind, Bai Ye couldn't refuse her kindness, so she had to agree.

After all, girls don't mind, so he's a grown man, so why should he be coy?

"Okay then, excuse me!"
