In the lobby on the first floor of the villa, everyone who had packed their luggage gathered here.
"Huh? So you were all in the film research club back in college!"
"Well, the five of them are very good friends, so they get together every two years." After Sonoko finished explaining, she took the initiative to act as an introducer.
The one with long hair and looks very handsome is Ota Masaru, who has always been the male lead in the club.
The one who opened the door first and accidentally caught Xiaolan changing clothes was Hiroki Kadotani, who was in charge of special effects photography when he was in the club.
The third person, Ryoichi Takahashi, who wears glasses and looks fat, was the props manager when he was in the club.
"The next one is my sister. She is in charge of clothing production and is currently looking for a husband~" Sonoko said while glancing at Tangze unconsciously.
Suzuki Ayako, who was standing by, gave Sonoko a reproachful look, with a hint of embarrassment on her face.
Seeing Sonoko's actions, Tang Ze couldn't help but frown. He thought that Sonoko called him over because she was a fangirl, and he estimated that the enthusiasm would only last for three minutes, so he didn't take it seriously at all.
But who knew that the other party was actually planning to find a partner for her elder sister?
But this seems... probably... seems... to be... also a good choice?
Marrying this white, rich, and beautiful woman, I don’t have to work hard in this life. However, squinting eyes seem to be a sign of eccentricity... Although the other party has always shown his eyebrows and eyes, this iron rule sometimes makes people a little hesitant...
When Tang Ze thought of this, he quickly shook his head to get rid of the messy thoughts in his mind, and after a little teasing, Sonoko began to introduce the last person.
Chikako Ikeda, a beautiful short-haired woman, served as a director, screenwriter and president of the Film Research Society when she was in the Society. Now she is a screenwriter.
"Ah, I know, he's the editor of "Blue Kingdom"!" Xiaolan's eyes lit up after listening to Sonoko's introduction.
"Well, that was Chikako's work when she was still in college. It was also her representative work that marked her emergence in the literary world!" Suzuki Ayako praised with a smile.
"Well then, let's ask the famous screenwriter to say a few words to the audience~" Hiroki Kakutani, holding the camera, smiled and pointed the camera at Ikeda.
"Stop it, stop making trouble..." Chikako Ikeda said embarrassedly.
While chatting and laughing, everyone began to reminisce about their college days, such as Hiroki Kadotani who is obsessed with photography and has not given it up until now, and Takahashi who has gained weight and can hardly fit into many cameras.
A happy atmosphere permeated among everyone.
"It's great, it feels like I'm back in college..." Suzuki Ayako smiled happily as she watched the people making a fuss.
But then his tone dropped, "If only Atsuko were here too..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally lively atmosphere suddenly froze to freezing point. The other four people also changed color, their pupils dilated a lot, and their expressions became ugly.
“Bang!!”
The one who reacted the most was Chikako Ikeda. She looked extremely ugly and her breathing became rapid.
"Don't mention her! Didn't I tell you not to mention Atsuko anymore?!"
"Tomokako..." Suzuki Ayako looked at Ikeda Tomokako with a worried look on her face.
"Atsuko has passed away. We've finally gotten together for vacation. Let's not talk about those sad things anymore!"
"I'm sorry!" Suzuki Ayako apologized quickly.
"Humph, you really are a celebrity. Even the tone of your voice has changed..." Ota Masaru couldn't stand Ikeda Chikako anymore and snorted sarcastically.
"What did you say?!" When Ikeda Chikako heard the other party's ridicule, it was as if gasoline was ignited and exploded all of a sudden. For a moment, the atmosphere between the two was tense.
"Alright! You two..." Suzuki Ayako quickly stood up to smooth things over, "I'm going to prepare dinner, everyone take a break..."
"Then I'll go and repair the roof. The weather forecast says it's going to rain tonight." Takahashi Ryoichi quickly changed the subject.
"I'll go with you. It'll be faster for two people to repair the roof." Tang Ze looked at Takahashi Ryoichi and said with a smile.
"No, it's too much of a bother for you, and you're a guest." Takahashi Ryoichi waved his hands and refused.
"It's okay, and you're a guest too, aren't you?" Tang Ze patted the other person's shoulder and said, "You're welcome."
Hiroki Kadotani on the side also quickly suggested playing cards, but Chikako Ikeda was very disrespectful and stood up and walked out of the house.
Hiroki Kadotani shouted a few times but failed to stop the other person. In the end, for the other person's safety, he followed him into the woods.
On the other side, Conan also encountered a big crisis. It turned out that the handsome guy Ota Masaru had set his eyes on Xiaolan and invited her. He leaned against the wall with one hand and pushed Xiaolan, then pulled her to take a walk in the rain.
Conan and Sonoko, who were standing by, were immediately enraged and united against a common enemy. They chased each other into the forest.
For a moment, the only people left in the villa were Suzuki Ayako, who was busy in the kitchen, Karasawa, and Takahashi.
At this moment, Tang Ze and Takahashi were walking on the stairs in silence, but when they reached the top floor, Tang Ze took the initiative to speak.
"Then, first of all, please take out the weapons hidden on your body." Tang Ze spoke first, which startled Takahashi Ryoichi for a moment.
"You...what are you talking about? How could I possibly be hiding a weapon..." Takahashi Ryoichi laughed and pretended to be stupid: "What nonsense are you saying?"
"I know what you're planning, but I have to say it's not a good plan."
Tang Ze looked at Takahashi Ryoichi and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself before. I'm a criminal by profession. I see through everything you want to do. You want revenge on Ikeda Chikako, and the reason is the death of Atsuko."
"Criminal, criminal!" Takahashi Ryoichi's face changed drastically, but he suppressed his facial expression and said with a forced smile: "Haha... What are you talking about? I don't understand."
But Tang Ze ignored the other party's pretense of being stupid, and instead looked at him and said, "You smell like metal. My nose tells me that. Also, if you want to kill someone to silence them, then I advise you to give up.
Because not only have I received professional training in the police academy, I am also proficient in Bajiquan and Muay Thai. Even if you have weapons, you will definitely not be my opponent.
If you still want to take action, I will shout loudly the next moment and let Miss Ayako in the kitchen know, and your revenge will not be complete."
Before Takahashi Ryoichi could react, Tang Ze said a series of words, making the other party's face even uglier.
At the same time, a kind of silent terror filled Takahashi Ryoichi's heart. Facing the man in front of him, it seemed as if everything was completely seen through by the other party, making him powerless to resist.
