With books, life is long; without books, life is short.
After capturing the remaining members of the bandit group and finding the gold coins hidden by the leader of the other party, Tang Ze and his team made great contributions, but it also resulted in Tang Ze and his team not receiving any work for a week.
No one wanted to help. After all, if you finish your own work and then try to steal someone else's work, you will be disliked even if you have good intentions.
To be honest, people in Japan still pay a lot of attention to these things, especially in these years of economic downturn. Everyone is trying their best to show themselves and doesn't want to be left out.
No one will be grateful to you if you steal someone else's job, so even though Tang Ze and his team searched the three departments as part of their normal daily work for the next week, no one said anything.
After all, since Tang Ze arrived, their three departments have completed many cases this month, and they have already gained enough publicity. Too much is as bad as too little.
Of course, Tang Ze is still happy like this. He paddles around or goes out for patrol every day before work, and he is even happier at the end of the month.
Since he had received his salary, Tang Ze kept a portion of it and transferred the rest to his parents' cards. This money could make his parents feel a lot more relaxed.
…….
Time flies and it’s the weekend.
This day was the day when Tang Ze was invited to go to the Sonoko family's mountain villa with Xiaolan and Conan.
On a cloudy day when the sun is covered by dark clouds, the light is a little dim even during the day, and this feeling becomes even stronger if you are walking through a forest path.
In this environment, coupled with Xiaolan's poor sense of direction, everyone got lost along the way.
Fortunately, Tang Ze discovered it in time and finally took over the power of leading the way. The three of them walked out of the jungle safely.
As the scene in front of me suddenly brightened, the view in front of me suddenly opened up, and a wooden suspension bridge came into view.
Looking at the shaking wooden bridge in front of him and the cliffs and rapids below, Tang Ze couldn't help but complain helplessly.
This familiar routine is simply amazing.
"Huh? There seems to be someone over there..." Xiaolan took two steps on the wooden bridge before she noticed the figure in front of her. "Is that the person that Sister Sonoko invited to the villa?"
"Well...it should be..."
Conan agreed casually, but he didn't expect that the figure in front of them suddenly turned around, and it was not until this moment that everyone saw the other person's full appearance!
The man in front of him had his face wrapped in bandages, and his old hat was pulled down very low. When he turned around, there was only one resentful and ferocious eye staring at everyone, just like a monster in a horror movie.
Even though Tang Ze was prepared, he was still shocked reflexively when he saw the other party's posture.
After all, this kind of thing is like going to a haunted house. Even though you know everything is fake, you will still be scared when ghosts suddenly appear.
The other party glared at the three of them fiercely, then turned around and ran away quickly.
"No...no...he...is also attending the party..." Xiaolan said tremblingly.
"Probably... no... not... right..." Conan also answered stutteringly, and seemed to be frightened by the other party as well.
"Don't overthink it. I'm still here, aren't I?" Tang Ze consoled the two before changing the subject, "Alright, hurry to the villa. Your friends might be waiting anxiously."
"Lan~Where have you been? Why are you so slow?" The short-haired girl complained unhappily when she saw Xiaolan, but her expression suddenly changed when she saw Tangze.
"Ah, you're the Detective Karasawa mentioned in the newspapers!" Sonoko approached Karasawa and said enthusiastically, "I saw you active again last week, handling the case of the Italian robber gang!"
"Thank you, I'm Tang Ze Xianyi, please give me your guidance." Tang Ze introduced himself with a smile: "Thank you for inviting me to this party."
"Oh, excuse me, I'm Suzuki Sonoko." After hearing Tang Ze's introduction, Sonoko remembered that this was the first time they met, and hurriedly introduced herself.
"Also, this is the child you often talk about, Xiaolan, who lives in your house. He is so cute~" Sonoko leaned over to look at Conan and said with a smile.
"Arigato~" Conan acted cute in a baby voice, but he was actually complaining madly in his heart.
"By the way, Xiaolan, there are a lot of handsome guys at this party~" Suddenly, Sonoko pulled Xiaolan aside and whispered to her, with a narrow smile on her face.
"Handsome guy? Is there another man wrapped in bandages?" Xiaolan couldn't help but ask.
"A man wrapped in bandages?" Sonoko was puzzled when she heard this. "But no one at the party today was injured!"
"But, but... we did see it just now..." Xiaolan thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "Could it be someone from another villa...?"
"Hey, stop talking nonsense. Let's go to the room on the second floor and pack up your belongings!" Sonoko said as she pushed Xiaolan, "You have one room for yourself, and Karasawa-san and Conan-kun have one room, right?"
Urged by Sonoko, Xiaolan and the other two went to the second floor with their luggage, but looking at the numerous rooms, Xiaolan became worried.
"That guy Yuanzi didn't seem to tell us where the room is." Xiaolan said as she opened the door of the room next to the stairs.
After opening the door, a boy with short hair was changing clothes with his upper body naked.
“Ka!”
Xiaolan quickly closed the door, blushing and apologizing repeatedly: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!!"
Perhaps because she was too shy, the momentary nervousness made her forget to think, and her body unconsciously wanted to open the door of the next room.
However, when he opened the door, Tang Ze pulled Xiaolan directly to the corridor, and stepped forward. Without changing his expression, he apologized to the fat man inside: "I'm so sorry, we were looking for a room and opened the wrong door."
After apologizing, Tang Ze closed the door, but his heart was not as calm as his face showed.
Because he didn't expect that the second door he opened would reveal the person he was looking for, who was also the murderer of this case. But this did save him some trouble.
"Lan Sang, you seem to have forgotten the option of knocking on the door." Since the goal had been achieved, Tang Ze didn't need to ask Xiao Lan to open the door one by one, so he reminded the other party with a smile.
"Thank you so much, Tang Ze-san, otherwise it would be so embarrassing." After Tang Ze's reminder, Xiaolan finally reacted and thanked him repeatedly.
"It's okay, you just got too flustered suddenly." Tang Ze smiled and waved his hand.
After that, the two of them kept knocking on the door and finally found an empty room. After Tang Ze brought Conan into the room, they began to pack their luggage.
