“I win!”
Just as the two were bickering, Tang Ze dropped the chess piece in his hand, and the white chess pieces surrounded the black pieces, swallowing up all the black pieces in them.
"It's all your fault. I lost!" Professor Kamiya glared at Naoki Kamii unhappily, and then they started bickering again.
It was best that Tang Ze finally separated the two bickering guys, asked Naoki Kamii to write the report, and he bullied Teacher Kanbayashi a few more times. Then the three of them left the Metropolitan Police Department to have dinner.
For this purpose, Naoki Kamii chose a very good Western restaurant and made the other party's wallet bleed a lot of money.
Because tomorrow was a day off, Naoki Kamii drank a few more glasses. As for Karasawa...
Emmm…
As long as there are no cases, he can basically take leave at any time.
When he got home in the evening, Ayako was already at home, but Tangze found that she was not watching TV or reading as usual. Instead, she was preparing ingredients and looked like she was going out for a picnic.
"What are you planning to do?" Tang Ze asked as he changed his clothes after entering the bedroom. "Are we going on a company team building trip?"
"Oh, no."
Ayako put the chicken skewers in her hand on the tray and said with a smile: "It was Sonoko who said that she wanted to go to her family's mountain villa with Xiaolan and her classmates this weekend, so I helped her prepare some ingredients.
She also asked if we wanted to go, and I said it depends on whether we have time. So, do you want to go?"
"It's nice to go and take a look." Tang Ze smiled and said, "Although bad things happened there, it can be said that this is where we first met after all."
"That's what I thought."
Ayako said this with a hint of nostalgia on her face: "In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed... I really didn't expect..."
Yeah, I really didn’t expect it.
The two strangers at that time are now so close to each other. They are even engaged and are moving firmly towards the marriage hall.
Both of them seemed to think of that meeting and couldn't help but smile at each other.
Afterwards, Tang Ze helped Ayako prepare the food, then packed some clothes for the night, and went to bed early.
The next morning, Karasawa drove a large SUV from the garage to pick up Sonoko first, and then went to the Mori Detective Agency.
As soon as he arrived downstairs at the detective agency, Tang Ze saw Conan with a sullen face and Hondou Eisuke who was carrying a backpack and chatting with Xiaolan.
Seeing this scene, Tang Ze thought to himself, "As expected."
When Tang Ze heard Ayako say yesterday that Sonoko was going with Xiaolan and her classmates, he already had some expectations.
After all, Ayako also knows Xiaolan, so she naturally wouldn't use words like "classmate". Naturally, this word represents other people.
Considering the person who appeared recently, and the fact that he is a classmate of Sonoko and the others, his identity is naturally self-evident.
Recalling the case after Hondou Eisuke appeared, Tang Ze probably had some ideas in his mind.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel that his luck had finally turned after all the hardship.
It’s really not easy. It’s been so long, and I haven’t encountered any cases that I’m familiar with.
But I have been very lucky these days. I just prevented a case from happening two days ago, and now there is another seemingly familiar case waiting for me to get the reward.
This made Tang Ze feel much happier, and on the way to the mountain villa, he drove several times faster.
Of course, you still have to be steady, but it's just the kind of steady driving on the road. After reaching the foot of the mountain, Tang Ze's mentality also became calmer.
"We're here, get ready to get out." Tang Ze parked the car, said something to the people behind him, then opened the door and got out first.
"Eh? But there don't seem to be any villas around here..."
Hondou Eisuke looked around and asked in confusion, "And Sonoko, didn't you say it was a villa on the top of the mountain?
Why did we stop at the foot of the mountain?"
"Because the car can't go up the next road."
As Sonoko opened the car door, she introduced Hondou Eisuke, who was visiting here for the first time, saying, "The roads on this mountain are all forest trails, and there are no roads for cars to travel on.
So next, we’re going to hike up the mountain!”
"Don't worry, it's not far, just like a mountain outing."
Xiaolan beside her said with a smile: "It's not too far."
"Really? Then let's go." Hondou Eisuke nodded when he heard that, then handed Xiaolan and the other's bags to each other, and then he put on his own backpack and got out of the car.
Meanwhile, after receiving the backpack and feeling its heaviness, Sonoko let out a sly smile, "Hey... We're just going up the mountain alone like this, and it doesn't seem like we're making any sense. Why don't we do something fun?"
"Sonoko, what tricks are you trying to play now?" Xiaolan looked at Sonoko with a smirk. How could she not know what her best friend was thinking? She asked helplessly.
"What do you mean by a trick? I have a pretty good idea," Sonoko said with a wicked grin. "How about we play rock-paper-scissors, and the loser carries the winner's backpack for ten minutes?"
"I won't participate. Our bags and ingredients are all on me."
Tang Ze shook the ingredients in his hand and refused to participate in the game between the two: "Besides, these things are too heavy, you can't bear it."
"Then it's just the three of us." Sonoko glanced at Conan with disdain and said, "As for this brat, he definitely won't participate. He'll be happy if we win, but he won't be able to carry the three of us if we lose."
