"Please advise."

Ikeda has neat short hair and wears earrings and collars as decorations, giving off a capable and trendy impression.

Chikako Ikeda... When Xiaolan heard this name, she immediately thought of the movie that was showing on TV. She also saw the same name in the credit list, and the person in front of her also happened to be the person in charge of the script from the Film Research Institute. member.

Xiaolan's eyes widened, "Ah! You must be Chikako Ikeda who is currently broadcasting the script of the Blue Kingdom on TV, right?"

"That's right, that is indeed her work when she was a student. Now, she finally has the opportunity to make it public."

Ayako explained with a smile.

"Forget about the past, okay?"

Chikako Ikeda smiled slightly embarrassed.

"I heard that you are going to write another movie soon, isn't it?"

Ota asked with his left hand on his cheek. At the same time, Kakutani Hiroki who was sitting next to him also stood up, raised the camera, pointed at Chikako Ikeda, and said, "Then, Master Ikeda! Please say a few words to your fans. Bar!"

"Don't make fun of me, Kakutani?"

Chikako Ikeda still smiled awkwardly.

Ota Katsura raised his head and looked at Kakutani, "Kakutani, your interest in photography has not changed. Seeing that you put so much effort into making that short film, I thought you would definitely choose a related job."

"It may be unbearable to turn a hobby into a job, and I'm just an unprofessional... However, I don't intend to give up this hobby." While answering, Kakutani turned the camera and landed on Takahashi's face , "Speaking of which, Takahashi. Have you gained weight recently?"

Takahashi lowered his head and touched his plump belly, "It's almost a hundred kilograms."

"The camera can hardly fit you."

"Really... I'm sorry."

Takahashi touched the back of his head.

"Getting together with everyone makes people think back to the past." Ayako showed a nostalgic expression, and then frowned, "By the way, there is also Atsuko... If it hadn't happened to Atsuko, I would be here today ..."

After Ayako said this, the expressions of everyone in the Film Research Institute changed, and their eyes widened.

"Tonzi?"

Xiaolan, who didn't understand the matter, made a questioning voice.

"Enough!" Chikako Ikeda stood up suddenly, spread her five fingers and slapped the table vigorously, "Stop mentioning Atsuko, okay!"

"Chikako..."

Ayako was startled by Ikeda's attitude.

Noticing her gaffe, Chikako Ikeda sat down quickly, calmed her breath, and said with a dissatisfied look: "I finally took time out of my busy schedule to come here to relax. I don't want to talk about a person who died two years ago. It's the business of the people!"

"sorry."

Ayako apologized.

Atsuko was the girl who finalized the script with Chikako Ikeda. She was very introverted when she was on the boat, and she didn't have much communication with Winnett. However, she attended the other party's funeral. According to the test at the time, she committed suicide.

If the sudden reaction is so big, does Atsuko's death have something to do with her?

Winnet thinks.

Ota Katsuki also seemed to dislike Ikeda's appearance, and said disdainfully, "When a man becomes famous, he speaks differently."

"what!?"

Ikeda Chikako responded to Ota Katsuki with a resentful expression.

"Okay, okay, both of you don't talk, it's my fault." Ayako came out to smooth things over, "I'm going to prepare dinner now, I think you should take a rest first."

Takahashi echoed Ayako's words, as if he wanted to expose the matter, "I'm going to repair the broken roof outside, it looks like it's going to start raining soon."

"Okay. Sorry to trouble you, Takahashi, you have to be careful!"

"Ok."

Kakutani watched Takahashi leave, and he suggested: "This kind of work is indeed only possible for Takahashi who is in charge of props, so let the rest of us play poker!"

"Then do it!"

Sonoko also became interested, but just as her enthusiasm rose, Chikako Ikeda left the seat and walked towards the stairs.

Seeing this, Kakutani asked, "Where are you going, Chikako?"

"I'm going for a walk outside."

Kakutani and Ikeda walked out of the main entrance of the villa one after the other, leaving a few people looking at each other.

"The atmosphere, like the weather, has become cloudy."

Xiao Ai complained precisely as always.

Before Winnet could say anything, the yawning Xiao Ai walked towards the stairs, "I'll take a rest before dinner."

……

269 ​​Bandage Monster

Winnet looked at Xiao Ai's back and smiled helplessly. The stall where she was parting from Xiao Ai made her feel a little uneasy.

She felt that her smile was a little stiff, in the corner of her eyes.

After a brief episode of afternoon tea, the visitors dispersed, and only Xiaolan, Sonoko, Conan, herself, and Ota among the five remained in the hall.

Several people tasted the baked biscuits and drank the black tea in the small teacups. Because of the atmosphere just now, they didn't talk about the film research club anymore.

It didn't take long for the sound of rain to penetrate the glass.

Xiaolan and Conan walked to the French windows facing the main entrance and looked out at the scenery outside. The gray clouds seemed to split the black sky and the forest, and the dense rain came one after another.

"Sure enough, it's still raining," Xiaolan said, looking up at the sky, "I can't appreciate the beautiful maple leaves now."

Yuanzi sneaked up behind Xiaolan and softly called her name, "Xiaolan, what do you think of him?"

Sonoko cocked his thumb and pointed towards Masaru Ota, who was standing in front of the French window on the other side and looking out of the window. He had a cigarette in his mouth, but he didn't light it.

"It looks handsome with a touch of coldness," Sonoko clasped his hands together, "I like this type of man the most."

Xiao Lan muttered unmoved: "Really?"

Seeing Xiaolan's reaction, Yuanzi was not surprised, he turned his gaze back to Xiaolan, slapped his hands, showing a teasing expression, "Yes, yes, you already have your new one! It's a pity he didn't come here with you."

"Who wants to come with that kind of person! If he's here, I'll punch him hard!"

Xiaolan made a movement of punching her fist, and then her face turned red all of a sudden.

"Ouch, I'm shy."

"No..."

Conan, who was listening under the skirt, couldn't help feeling upset: "I'm right here..."

At this time, Winnet also greeted her.

"Miss Winnet, what do you think?"

Facing Sonoko's consultation, Winnet was a little distressed.

She felt that she didn't look at men, and she didn't have that kind of thoughts in the first place, but regardless of gender, she felt that Masaru Ota had more thoughts, and she was not suitable for a simple girl like Sonoko who was easy to fall in love.

Winnet said pertinently: "I think you two are quite different in age."

"That's not the case! My sister and I are only six years apart..."

Sonoko was halfway through speaking, and what she didn't expect was that Katsuo Ota suddenly appeared in front of them, slightly arched, with his hands in the pockets of his slim trousers, a bit like a romantic man who misbehaved in movies way of chatting up.

"Well, let's go for a walk together, shall we?"

Sonoko's eyes were shining, he clasped his fingers and looked up at the other party, full of anticipation, but Winnet, who was a bystander, could see clearly, he was looking at what Xiaolan said, a little glad that he was excluded from the target In addition, the eyes looking at the garden are a bit mixed.

"Okay... I'd be more than happy to..."

Sonoko's cautious and soft reply was ignored - in the middle of her speech, Ota Katsuki passed her and faced Xiaolan directly. He stopped Xiaolan's direction, pressed one hand against the wall, and With one hand still in his pocket, "You're fine anyway."

"But, but...it's raining outside right now."

"It's also nice to take a walk in the rain."

Winnet widened her eyes slightly and joined the group - Sonoko Suzuki and Shinichi Kudo had already done so in sync.

She is very familiar with Katsuo Ota's movements, which are the strike-up movements that often appear in movies. As the leading actor of the Film Research Institute, he has been well-trained. To be honest, she is a little disgusted by such familiarity.

Winnet had also rejected the other party before, but thinking about it now, the possibility that the other party was a playboy was very high...

In the process of thinking, Winnet felt the sudden increase in the temperature around her—as if she was calm in the high-spirited killing intent, but it was different—she saw that Sonoko and Conan seemed to be on fire, and their pupils seemed to explode. Mao's cat stared round, but the corners of its eyes were squeezed and hung, and there was an aura of "the protagonist of a revenge drama" all over his body.

Standing between the two, Winnet felt that it was exaggerated, but it was not incomprehensible to put herself in their shoes. Suddenly, she was glared at by two people, and Winnet smiled awkwardly, looking at them as if they had escaped from a mental hospital. He rushed out with strides like a patient, muttering something like "unforgivable" while doing so.

Winnet, who was delivered to the door, also took an umbrella. If she didn't follow, she would be left alone in the villa hall. Even if she found Ayako, she would probably be called a "guest" in the end and pushed around. He left the kitchen and simply followed Sonoko and Conan.

Seeing Winnet following, Yuanzi took her to hide under the cover of the bushes. Although the colors of the umbrellas were a bit inconsistent, the sound of the rain became a natural shelter.

Yuanzi stared at the back of the two walking, still looking angry, and muttered: "Xiao Lan is really, obviously already has a new one!"

Conan, who was silent, also nodded in his heart: "That's right!"

"In this way, I will abduct Xinyi!"

Conan was dumbfounded by Sonoko's momentary anger.

No way?

Winnet felt a little ashamed when she heard this, which reminded her of the MV in some KTV Golden Leopard discs - the ex-girlfriend cheated on the protagonist through the cheating partner.And the experience of this period of life made her feel that the reality is even more bizarre.

But for Winnett, it still lacks real feeling. There is almost no thought of "betrayal" at the moment of strong emotion, and the reason for this kind of thought is that she is actively killing them in the cradle, watching As she continued to track the duo, she suddenly felt a sense of relief.The moment she looked back at the villa, a black shadow appeared on the window sill.

Although it is not clear enough, the white stripes are very eye-catching.

A strange figure in a black robe and bandages was appearing on the circular ledge connecting all the rooms.

"That direction..."

A bad premonition filled Winette's mind, she immediately dropped her umbrella and rushed towards the villa.

The two who were watching Ran interact with Ota noticed Winette's dropped umbrella, which made a splash in the mud.Conan and Sonoko looked back quickly, but only saw Winnet's back, which was about the size of a bean.

"So fast……"

Sonoko was stunned. The moment she spoke, Winnett had already arrived at the gate of the villa, which was far faster than the sprinters she had seen at the school sports meeting.

Conan was also shocked, but when he looked in the direction of the villa, he also noticed the sneaky figure appearing on the windowsill—the strange man with his head tied in bandages that he and Xiaolan saw in front of the suspension bridge.

"Sister Yuanzi, look over there!"

Yuanzi heard the reputation and looked around, and saw the bandaged man, with his mouth wide open.

"That room, whose room is it?"

Conan asked anxiously.

It seems that he didn't realize that his behavior was discovered, and the bandage weirdo standing on the balcony was cutting the glass.

Conan soon realized that it was because they were hiding in the bushes and holding umbrellas.Because they wanted to follow Xiaolan and the others, Sonoko and Winnett both took umbrellas of inconspicuous colors, and they were unobtrusive under the cover of the cloudy forest.

Who is he?

"It seems to be the room of Miss Winnet and the girl named Huiyuan."

The target is Huiyuan! ?

Conan immediately thought of the connection between this incident and the organization in black. Could it be that this person was sent by the organization in black?No, this villa is in such a remote place, and the roads are also in underdeveloped areas. Even if the organization in black has discovered that Huiyuan's body has become smaller, it is unlikely to make a Halloween costume...

He rushed out while thinking.

At this time, Winnet had already rushed to the door of the room.She pushed the door twice and found that it was locked from the inside. After knocking hard three times in a row, she heard Xiao Ai's question "Who is it?" followed by a terrified scream.

"Little sorrow!"

Winnet couldn't wait to charge up and slam the door, intending to break the lock, but the pure wooden door was very strong, and the result of the first collision was not very smooth.The next second, the door was opened unexpectedly, and Xiao Ai appeared, pressing her chest with one hand, with an expression of lingering fear: When she made such an expression, her icy blue eyes were unbelievably deep, full of There was a sense of fragility, and the skin on his face trembled slightly.

Through Xiao Ai's figure, looking in the direction of the window, it was open to the outside at the moment, and the raindrops splashed into the room... Xiao Ai grabbed the shirt on Winnet's stomach, turned her head away, and then took a deep breath to calm down.

Realizing that she lost her composure, Xiao Ai quickly sorted out her emotions, then silently turned her head and looked towards the direction of the open window.

"Just when you called me, a man covered in bandages appeared on the balcony..." Xiao Ai's voice trembled, and she stretched out her finger to indicate the direction, "He just opened the window at that time, probably because he realized that It caused a commotion, and left quickly without doing anything."
