Seven years ago, timeline.
Fujiwara Yu was diligently searching for the Child of Destiny named "Edogawa Conan," believing that only by finding him could he gain permanent residency in...
You can reach the camping site next to the Sad Love Lake by crossing the dilapidated suspension bridge. The retro single-family wooden house is very distinctive. Located next to the lake, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of sunrise and sunset.
Both the fresh air and the beautiful scenery can make people feel relaxed. However, Fujiwara Yuu was carrying a suitcase but had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery. He just hoped that time would fast forward to late at night so that he could have a good sleep.
When they arrived at the door of the largest wooden house in the center, they found several older tourists already standing at the door. One of them, a middle-aged man with a black mole under his eye, smiled and said,
"Mr. Kujo, you're finally here. We've been waiting here for almost an hour."
"Mr. Koda, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
After Kujo Shotarou bowed and apologized, he picked up the list in his hand and began to call out names. This not only confirmed that everyone had arrived, but also allowed everyone to know each other's names - like this smiling middle-aged man named Koda Seisaku, a doctor.
The man standing next to him, a cigarette dangling from his lips and carrying a messenger bag, was Itsuki Yosuke, a freelance writer. The couple hugging each other, seemingly in love, were Koyama Saburo and Koyama Seiko, the former also the president of a real estate company.
The gloomy uncle who looks introverted and not very sociable is holding a sketchbook in his hand. His name is Kobayashi Seiji. Although he has not registered his occupation, it is not difficult to tell that he should be a painter.
As for the people who came here with them, there was also a college student who looked a little wretched and anxious. His name was Soichi Kurata, and he was a sophomore at Beido University.
"This lady's name is Ko**lu, and she's a junior high school student. Accompanying her is her classmate Hattori Heiji and her guardian, Toji Sosuke." Kujo Shotaro looked at Toyama Kazuha and introduced them to everyone.
Upon hearing this, the honest Yuanshan Heye quickly raised her hand and said frankly:
"Well... actually, my name is Toyama Kazuha. My classmate Koshiba had something at home and couldn't come, so I came here as a commentator on her behalf."
"Huh? That's going to be difficult, because..."
"Oh, Mr. Kujo, you don't want them to go back, do you? Even if we go back now, the bus has already left. We can't let them walk dozens of kilometers in the dark. I think we should let them stay." Koda Masayoshi suggested.
Kujo Shotaro was not an unkind person. He nodded and smiled.
"Well, but you can't participate in this event on behalf of Miss Xiao Chai. You can only regard her as having voluntarily given up."
Activities? Abstention?
Fujiwara Yuu and the others showed confused expressions. They didn't seem to see the relevant content in the letter. Could it be that the relevant part had been taken away by Xiao**lu?
Xiangshan Shengzi noticed the puzzled look in their eyes and asked with a smile:
"You guys shouldn't be unaware of this, right? The travel agency will randomly select two people from the tour group to receive membership vouchers for the Lake of Sadness Resort!"
"There's such a thing, Suzuka didn't tell me."
"Maybe your classmates don't care about this. Okay, let's stop standing here and allocate the houses. Is it okay for the three of you to share a room?" asked Shotaro Kujo.
"No problem, thank you everyone for not sending us back~" Yuanshan Heye was quite worried at first, but now that everyone is so easy to talk to, he is looking forward to meeting some friends of different ages on this trip.
But Fujiwara Yuu and Hattori Heiji felt no joy; instead, a growing sense of unease grew. They exchanged glances, feeling a sense of strangeness about being invited to the event. Furthermore, considering the contrast between the luxurious facilities Mr. Kujo had mentioned and the dilapidated suspension bridge, they wondered if there was something fishy about the organizer, Kanzuki Travel Agency.
It is better to believe it than not. After returning the suitcase to Akemi Miyano, the first thing he did when he arrived at the villa assigned to them was to send an email to White, asking him to help investigate the relevant information about Guanyue Travel Agency and Beilian Lake Resort.
However, there was no response after the email was sent. Thinking that White might be on an investigation mission, he did not choose to call. He put away his phone and planned to take the clothes out of the suitcase and put them in the closet, otherwise they would become stuffy and smelly in such a humid environment.
Yuanshan Heye diligently helped with the cleaning. As the sun was setting outside the window, she suggested:
"Mr. Yingsi, how about we go for a walk by Lake Sad Love together? The sunset should be beautiful!"
Hattori Heiji, who was lazing on the sofa, performed a catapult jump on the spot. He realized that his action was a bit too exaggerated, and after a dry cough, he smacked his lips:
"Hey, why did you only invite Brother Yingsi and not me? Could it be that you are..."
"Stupid Heiji, what are you talking about! Even if I didn't invite you, you would have gone with me, right?!" Toyama Kazuha felt very uncomfortable when she heard this. She had liked Heiji for a long time but was unwilling to say it out loud. She was worried that in his eyes, she was just an older sister who grew up with him.
If Heiji didn't like her, she wouldn't be able to express it as usual, so it would be better to keep it that way. Now, playing and quarreling like this is also good.
"Huh? Don't talk like I'm going to jump right in and follow you!"
"Then are you coming or not?"
"Come on! Let's see who can reach the lake first!
”
"Let's compete!"
Bang!
