"Why is it me again..."
Looking at the palm spread out in front of him, Hondou Eisuke roared to the sky in grief and anger, his face full of despair.
"I'm so sorry." Xiaolan smiled embarrassedly.
"Come on, hold on for another ten minutes."
Yuanzi on the side showed a little devil smile and urged the other person to pick up the backpack on the ground and continue on the road.
"I say...you guys are not just seeing that I'm unlucky, so you're playing rock-paper-scissors?"
Hondou Eisuke picked up his backpack and looked at Sonoko with tears in his eyes.
"Ha ha..."
Hearing this, Yuanzi smiled a little guilty and quickly changed the subject: "Of course not, let's go, wait until we get to my Suzuki family's villa, and then have a good rest~"
"villa?"
Hearing what Sonoko said, Xiaolan was suddenly startled, her face turned frightened: "Sonoko! Didn't you ask for the cabin at Sister Ayako's friend's house?"
"Strange? Did I say that?" Sonoko rested her index finger on her chin as if she was thinking, but her wandering eyes had already betrayed her.
"Could it be... that we are going to... the villa where the incident almost happened before..."
Xiaolan folded her arms and turned pale as she spoke: "He's the one who plays the bandaged man and is about to hurt someone..."
"Ah...it seems like this has happened before~" Sonoko looked at Xiaolan with a polite but guilty smile and laughed awkwardly.
"No wonder when I came to pick you up, you told me you wanted to hike up the mountain trails. So that's what you were thinking."
Tang Ze, who was standing by, looked at Yuanzi helplessly and shook his head.
"Hehe, but when I told Sister Ayako about it, she agreed right away."
Sonoko put her arm around Ayako and teased, "After all, that's where you two first met, and it's a place full of memories~"
"So I'm the only one who doesn't know?" Xiaolan glanced at Yuanzi unkindly and said, "I want to go back!"
"That's impossible. After all, Lan, you're a directionally challenged person. Are you sure you can get down the mountain safely?"
Sonoko grinned like a little devil and said, "If you get lost, it will be very scary in the forest at night~"
"Hmm..."
After hearing what many of her best friends said, Xiaolan stood there in a dilemma.
"Okay, stop scaring Xiaolan."
Finally, Tang Ze couldn't bear it any longer and spoke to comfort him, "Don't be afraid. Although a crime almost happened, I stopped it, didn't I?
This time is the same, with me here, you don't have to worry about safety."
"Too..."
Xiaolan thought about it and found that if Detective Tang Ze was there, going to the villa didn't seem so difficult to accept.
So the group got ready and set off towards their destination again.
However, when everyone arrived at the suspension bridge where they encountered the "Bandage Man", they found that the suspension bridge in front of them had broken, and the broken wooden bridge was hanging on the opposite cliff.
There was only a cliff that ordinary people could not cross blocking everyone's view.
"No way, how could this bridge..."
Yuanzi looked at the scene in front of him with a vigilant expression and said, "Tell me, this couldn't have been deliberately destroyed by someone with bad intentions!"
"No, judging by the situation, this time it really is natural damage."
Tang Ze walked to the edge of the cliff and pointed to the place in front of him that was obviously sunken compared to the surrounding area and said, "Look, there is a lot less here than on the two sides.
It's probably because of the prolonged rain that the part that previously fixed the bridge collapsed completely."
"Is that so..." Xiaolan, who was frightened by Sonoko's words, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing what Tangze said.
She was really afraid that some evil-minded guy would deliberately destroy the suspension bridge, and then another terrifying guy like the last time would appear.
"Next time, I'll ask Dad to build a better bridge. The suspension bridge is really unreliable." Yuanzi made follow-up plans with some distress.
However, after hearing what Yuanzi said, Tang Ze just smiled without comment and said nothing.
Do you want to come here next time?
I'm afraid that after this time, you won't have any desire to come to this mountain villa again...
Although Tang Ze was complaining in his heart, he still looked around, searching for the villa where he remembered the case took place.
Because some changes occurred during the journey to the mountain villa, and Tang Ze was not sure whether this was the case he remembered, his car was now parked at the foot of the mountain.
And because he was driving, they didn't fall into "Stormy Heights" mode.
Now seeing the collapsed suspension bridge, Tang Ze has confirmed that this is the case in his memory. So if he wants to participate in the case, Tang Ze needs to take the initiative.
"This is really troublesome..."
As Tang Ze was secretly observing, Ayako frowned slightly and looked at everyone and said aloud, "Now we can't go to the villa to spend the night. Should we go back the same way?"
"Huh? We finally got here..."
Hondou Eisuke collapsed upon hearing this. He didn't care about the dust on the ground and sat down directly: "At least... let me rest for a while..."
"Then let's take a break and then return the same way."
Xiaolan suggested with a smile: "There's nothing we can do about it~"
But having said that, anyone could see the smile on the other person's face that came from the heart.
Obviously, this is the best news for someone who just wanted to go back.
