Chapter 4 Double Birthday Gift Pack
It was Suzuki Sonoko's fourteenth birthday, and the weather was sunny and cloudless.
Because her parents had told her that they had other things to do today, Sonoko went to the newly opened park early to wait for Xiaolan. As a result, just before she laughed, she saw Kudo Shinichi juggling a ball under a street light ten meters away.
There is only one day like this in a year. Can we celebrate our birthday without feeling sad at all?
Because of Tomoko's all-round maintenance of her general upbringing, the only person who had trouble in Suzuki Sonoko's life since she was a child was Kudo Shinichi.
She had forgotten how they had a ten-year feud, but she just hated him so much, and she felt frustrated that she couldn't kill him.
Perhaps the speed of her expression changing in an instant was too shocking. Xiaolan was almost in a panic and waved her hands in front of her, saying with a smile: "Sonoko, don't be like this. Shinichi and we grew up together--"
Before he could finish his words, there was a loud bang next to him.
The football, which was very obedient under Kudo Shinichi's feet, hit the trash can on the side of the road hard and rolled to Sonoko's feet.
The trash can was only one meter away from her.
Suzuki Sonoko pointed at the football, but looked back at Xiaolan seriously: "I think he just wanted to murder me."
Xiaolan then spread her hands tiredly towards Kudo Shinichi, turned around and continued to comfort her: "How could that be? Didn't Sonoko also give Shinichi a gift on his birthday last year? This kind of thing is mutual!"
Suzuki Sonoko tried to recall what she gave Kudo Shinichi last year.
"Then he must be trying to murder me."
When she thought about it, she became more certain: "When I gave him a birthday present last year, I prepared it with the intention of disgusting him to death."
"Hey, hey, I'm not as petty as you..."
"In that case."
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the famous detective who seemed to have been slandered, and she rarely believed his words. She asked tentatively, "What do you want to give me?"
"It's hard to describe this," Kudo Shinichi said, choosing his words with a tut-tut sound, frowning as if he was particularly worried about her intelligence. "It's something without substance."
No entity...
Yuanzi suddenly realized what was going on and said in great surprise, "Are you going to just stand there and let me spank you?"
Kudo Shinichi's smile is a card.
He looked at her expectant eyes in disbelief, his forehead filled with black lines: "I think you have always wanted to kill me..."
Given Kudo Shinichi's brain's speed of reaction, it would be difficult for Sonoko to get anything out of him once he was prepared. So before a fight almost broke out, Mouri Ran picked up the two people and placed them on both sides of her, then put them in front of her like she was pulling two ropes, and took them to a dessert shop in the corner of the park.
The hobbies of Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran were developed by each other. Because Xiaolan played tennis, Sonoko played tennis. Because Sonoko liked sweet food, Xiaolan also liked sweet food.
Because the park was newly opened, the dessert shop was naturally new as well. It was not open when they arrived, so they could only find a movie theater nearby to spend the morning. By noon, there were already a few customers sitting in the shop.
After finding a place to sit comfortably, Suzuki Sonoko ordered a table full of cakes and was about to start eating, but her mother suddenly called.
Suzuki Tomoko seemed a little anxious. After all, Sonoko said that she was just going to try the newly opened dessert shop with Xiaolan and would come back after picking up the gifts. However, it was almost noon and she still hadn't returned home.
Yuanzi didn't know what had happened to make her so anxious, but as mentioned earlier, her principle was to listen to her parents. After all, they had a big family and a lot of things to deal with, so she had to deal with them.
So she gave her mother an address and told her that she could ask a driver to pick me up.
I turned around and apologized to Xiaolan, saying that I had to leave first because of something. Although I was very sorry, there was one thing that made me feel relieved: although I couldn't be with Xiaolan anymore, at least I didn't have to see Kudo Shinichi!
The famous detective keenly noticed her mysteriously pleased look and asked in a frown, "...What do you mean by that look?"
"nothing."
Yuanzi shook her head and tried to pick up the windbreaker that was placed aside, but then put it down again: "I'd better go to the bathroom first."
The dessert shop's restroom is located in a very corner. From the terrain point of view, it is connected to the stepped pool outside. It is about 50 centimeters lower than the average altitude of the store. There are three low steps after opening the door.
The service staff was afraid that someone would not be used to this design and would trip when opening the door, so he not only gave a detailed discussion, but also took her there personally.
This waiter was actually the store manager. He stood sideways in front of Yuanzi, and with a gentle smile, he tried to open the door, saying, "Please be careful with your step." But then he discovered, to his great misfortune, that the door could not be opened.
This is very embarrassing.
So the store manager asked her to take two steps back, hold the door handle with both hands and start pulling hard. After all, it was a new store and the final payment of the renovation contract had not been paid yet. If it really didn't work, she would have to find a construction team to redo the work immediately.
Hard work pays off. After repeated efforts, the store manager seemed to have finally pulled off the stuck bolt. However, he was unable to pull back his strength in time and was stuck in the triangle between the door and the wall. His heel seemed to be hit by the wall skirt, and he let out a loud cry of pain.
Suzuki Sonoko stood woodenly at the end of the three low steps, feeling the hot stream spraying on her face, and felt that this store manager was really too pampered.
I didn't even scream, why are you screaming?
Three steps down, a fresh human head bumped against the tiles with a thud. Blood was still gushing from the bald neck, but because the body had already fallen to the ground, the blood flowed onto the ground from the broken parts. It did not happen again like when she opened the door, when the blood actually covered her body.
Someone died in the store.
The specific method of killing is still unclear, but it seems that something like piano wire was tied around the unconscious person's neck, and then a mechanism was used to tighten the switch on the door lock.
As the door opened and the rope tightened, the unconscious dead man's head flew up instantly.
In other words, the store manager had just killed someone with his own hands, and Miss Suzuki Sonoko was an eyewitness.
She didn't have any sense of reality yet, so it wasn't that she felt disgusted or scared, she was just dazed for a while until Kudo Shinichi rushed to the scene and pulled her arm to block the crime scene in front of her.
"Are you okay?"
Yuanzi let out an "Ah" in confusion.
Kudo Shinichi tutted his words, raised his hand and pinched her without any hesitation, then asked, "Are you okay?"
Suzuki Sonoko finally came back to her senses at this time. She looked blankly at the back of her hand which quickly turned into a red mark. The objective fact "Kudo Shinichi actually pinched me" appeared in her mind, which could only think in a single direction. Then, according to logical habits, the subjective tendency of "I want to retaliate" emerged. Finally, under the guidance of her still blank head, she raised her hand a little slowly and hugged the boy in front of her.
Judging from the area of contact between them, there must be as much blood on her body as on Kudo Shinichi's coat.
In order to make it easier for the blood to seep into the fibers and increase the difficulty of cleaning, she rubbed it subconsciously.
Thinking that it was almost time, she followed her brain's instinct and mechanically wanted to step back, but Kudo Shinichi seemed to have misunderstood something from her previous action. He raised his hand and rudely pushed her head back onto his shoulder, and unexpectedly patted her lightly.
"Idiot," the male voice beside her said sarcastically with a fake, uneasy smile, "Are you scared silly by the murder scene?"
Suzuki Sonoko's mind was stimulated by the four words "murder scene", and the single line in her mind finally turned back to its original path.
Oh yes, someone just died!
Ten minutes later, the police arrived.
The surveillance cameras in the new store were not fully turned on, and there were blind spots in some places. However, Yuanzi and her friends had just entered the store, and combined with the testimony of some store employees, they easily proved their innocence. Yuanzi stood behind the booth in the corner and struggled to take off the blood-soaked sweater on top.
This was knitted by Xiaolan for her...
Although the thin shirt inside was in much better condition, it was still bloody on the side of the waist. Xiaolan was wearing a thick long coat, so it was impossible to lend her an inner coat. And Kudo Shinichi was wearing two...
He spread his hands to show that he was powerless.
Considering that the revenge just now was indeed very thorough, Sonoko was spared at least because she had a windbreaker left on the seat, but Kudo Shinichi didn't even escape with his coat.
Suzuki Sonoko felt vaguely that she had let herself down and wanted to call the driver to ask him to buy some clothes on the way.
But the driver called first and said that the car was parked on the main road of the park and she could see it after turning a corner after leaving the store.
When Sonoko heard his tone, she felt as if there was a sense of urgency hidden in it. She wondered if something serious had happened at home, so she asked, "Are you very anxious?"
The driver thought that the time my wife specified was one o'clock sharp, and it's almost half past one now. Your blind date is also a rich man, so he must be in a hurry!
So he said it very seriously and honestly: "It's urgent!"
Yuanzi was now thinking about urgent matters at home and didn't care about the death. She asked again, "Do you want to go see mother?"
Since it was a blind date for a wealthy family, the driver was not sure whether the wife would be there this time, so he just said "hmm" vaguely.
Suzuki Sonoko now really felt that something big was going to happen in their family. She took her long windbreaker and put it on. Seeing that she could not find any clues, she thought of getting in the car first. On the other side, the young crime-solving expert Fuji Shinichi had already started investigating the scene. Because of her agility, Xiaolan seemed to have been called to simulate the scene.
Sonoko sent an email to Tomoko Suzuki as she went out.
Bring me a new shirt.
Suzuki Tomoko was sitting at home drinking tea at the time. After seeing this email, she thought that their second daughter had finally got the birthday gift she wanted for a long time, so she started shopping.
Yuanzi sat in the back seat of the car as if nothing had happened, pulled up the tailgate and started staring blankly with her eyes open.
In a daze, she seemed to have received a call from Xiaolan, but the person who spoke was Kudo Shinichi. She didn't hear what was said exactly, but because the person she was talking to was Kudo Shinichi, a "hehe" was considered a very polite response.
Yuanzi seemed to be exhausted and slept in the car all the way to the destination. When she opened her eyes, she found that she was in a very unfamiliar place.
The driver looked at his watch, wiped the sweat off his forehead with great relief, and said to her with a smile: "Your birthday celebration will be held here."
This is a private courtyard with a long history. Like the common mansions, it covers a large area and has now been converted into a private restaurant.
When Suzuki Sonoko got out of the car with a confused look on her face, there was no father in front of her, no mother holding a change of shirt, and no major events that she had imagined might happen - such as their family going bankrupt or being seized.
On one side of the wooden door, fifteen-year-old Ximen Sojiro, wearing a dark blue kimono, nodded to her as a greeting.
The sky was clear and the breeze was blowing gently. The fiery red fallen leaves brushed against the hem of his dark clothes. The fair and handsome young man smiled like a jade tree in the wind.
This person...
She looks so pretty!
Yuanzi's way of thinking is simple, but that doesn't mean she is stupid. The atmosphere of a single man and a single woman in front of flowers and under trees is obviously conducive to cultivating feelings.
My uncle did suggest that instead of making things difficult for her, it would be better to find a son-in-law.
Yuanzi looked around: So she's in such a hurry... is it because she has an appointment with someone for a blind date?
She subconsciously glanced at the handsome young man by the door, comparing their current situations. She felt neither happy nor unhappy. She could only knock on the car window woodenly and said to the driver with a deep sigh, "Even though she screwed me over this time, how can I put it... she's still my mother after all."
It would be even better if her mother could remember to inform her in advance after finding such a handsome guy.
Hearing this, the driver just smiled and said nothing.
Ximen Sojiro wasn't embarrassed at all. He imitated Sonoko's knocking on the car window, lifted his sleeves, and knocked on the maple door beside him. He made a gentle joke: "Why are you sighing about this? Did I scare you by suddenly appearing here?"
However, Suzuki Sonoko had no intention of joining in to ease the awkward atmosphere. She just looked at him sadly for a while and said "oh" for some reason.
Simon smiled:?
Yuanzi sighed to herself, "You don't scare me, I'm just afraid that I might scare you later..."
Simon continued to smile, not understanding why.
To be honest, it's so handsome.
Because he was so handsome, Miss Suzuki Sonoko thought of the blood-stained clothes hidden under his skin, and all that was left in her heart was a sad regret: If such a blind date could work out, it would be a miracle.
The author has something to say: If you want to appear charming simply, you generally need two key points: either your beauty value is MAX, so that the opposite sex, or even the same sex, will subconsciously want to treat you with caution when they see you.
Either it is of MAX importance, so that if the opposite sex or even the same sex sees it, you have to be careful.
Even if love develops over time, it still requires a prerequisite of getting along with each other. When the heroine is a psychopath, all her efforts are to maintain the marriage with her fiancés.
Instead of using all means to get close to your idol and make him like you, it is better to set the premise that he must like you, and then let him work hard to conquer you.
