Chapter 17911798 [Can’t Come Back]
The sea view here is not as beautiful as the one just now, and it is a little deserted. But the advantage is that there are few tourists, so you can enjoy the scenery better.
However, the group of people had just met, and they had no plans to just watch the sea quietly for the time being, but instead planned to get to know each other first.
Since we are gathered together by the opportunity of a drama, we should naturally talk about this topic.
Jiang Xia looked at the short-haired senior student and said, "I heard that something bad happened in your drama club in high school?"
“…”
The atmosphere at the table suddenly became heavy, and subtle changes of expression flashed across many people's faces.
"Yes. It was a tragic accident. It makes me sad to think about it." After a few seconds, the short-haired senior finally answered. She sighed and changed the subject as if nothing had happened:
"So even though Takako and I both like drama, we didn't join the drama club in college, but joined the diving club instead. Diving is really an enjoyable sport, and it has opened the door to a new life for me. High school students have limited time and equipment, so there may not be such a club for the time being. When you get to college, you must try to join it."
Matsuzaki Masahiko nodded, seeming to agree with his sister's words: "I also had a good dive this morning. The sea water is so comfortable in this season. I don't know when I will be able to come again - Takako and I are getting married next week, so it will probably take a long time before I can make time."
The black-faced guy drank his drink sullenly and tried to say in a teasing tone, "Don't act like there's no chance to dive again before we get married. Aren't we going to the island soon? The island is surrounded by sea water, so maybe we can see different scenery."
Matsuzaki Masahiko shook his head regretfully. Although he was tempted, he was a little timid: "That's against the rules. Besides, it's too dangerous to go to unfamiliar waters. I can't swim. What if there's some undercurrent in the water..."
Suzuki Sonoko choked when she heard this: "You can't swim? Didn't you just say you went diving this morning?"
The short-haired senior laughed and defended her brother: "You can dive even if you can't swim. You have oxygen tanks anyway."
"Yeah." The long-haired senior also laughed, "Although Yayan can do some paddling movements, he just can't float. He has been a landlubber since he was a child."
Suzuki Sonoko whispered to Jiang Xia: "Look! The sour smell of love."
She complained, but she was obviously enjoying the melon. She looked at the couple, then at the black-faced boy's expression, and almost laughed out loud. She quickly pretended to wipe her mouth and covered her face with a handkerchief.
Under normal circumstances, Mao Lilan would probably pay close attention to this.
But now, her attention was on something else entirely.
"'Since childhood'? Are you childhood sweethearts?" Mao Lilan said "Wow~" in a sweet voice that she didn't usually use, as if she envied this kind of love.
When Conan thought about the fact that he and Ran Mouri were childhood sweethearts, he suddenly felt like he understood something and his face turned red.
But before he could think about it, he heard Mao Lilan continue, "Isn't that the same as my dad and mom? They were childhood sweethearts too. This kind of relationship is really sweet and long-lasting!"
Conan: “…”
...Damn it, he should have thought of it earlier. Apart from bringing together Kogoro Mori and Eri Kisaki, it would be difficult for other things to make Ran Mori act so abnormal.
Kisaki Eri glanced at her hard-working daughter, then glanced at the engaged couple opposite. She really wanted to hand a business card to the long-haired girl and tell her that if she ever got divorced she could come to her as a lawyer to discuss matters.
But then she thought again, this would ruin the atmosphere, so she had to swallow her juice and endure it: "You still have to get the person, it has nothing to do with whether you are childhood friends or not."
Mao Lilan: “…” Alas.
Toda Takako seemed a little shy. She turned her head to look at the sea, then looked at the short-haired girl next to her: "Xiaochun, can you go back to the room and get me a towel?"
She winked at her fiancé's sister mischievously and said, "I'm getting addicted to diving after hearing what they said. I want to go swim in the sea for a while."
Takako Toda did not change out of her swimsuit, she just took off her jacket and went swimming directly.
The short-haired girl looked at her worriedly: "But you seem to have drunk some wine just now, why don't you forget it and go after you sober up? It's too dangerous now."
"I didn't drink much, just a little beer." Toda Takako smiled, "And I won't dive too deep, just snorkeling and soaking in the sea water, don't worry."
The little black-faced man couldn't help but stand up: "I'll go with you?"
"No need." Takako Toda rejected him neatly, then took the float board and ran towards the sea impatiently.
…
The others didn't eat as little as Toda Takako, so they continued to eat leisurely before finishing their lunch.
After a while, Jiang Xia's cell phone suddenly rang and he received an email.
When I took it out and looked at it, I saw a message from Maori Kogoro: [Where have you been? Did you encounter another case?]
Jiang Xia: “…Hmm?”
He slowly raised his head and looked at the people who were eating at the table.
Then I realized it belatedly: No wonder I always felt like I had forgotten something. It turned out that I was blinded by the murderous aura and left this neighbor uncle behind...
Thinking about the case that Kogoro Mori had sponsored as a friendly organization, and his daughter who had a strong physique, Jiang Xia held the phone and went back to the location conscientiously, and also briefly explained the current situation.
…
Soon, Maori Kogoro came over, panting. There was a layer of sand on his calves, and the back of his neck was sunburned red. It looked like he had been lying on the ground looking for the ring where they had met before.
After taking another look at the lazy cat who was following Kogoro Mouri about seven or eight meters away, peeking out stealthily and trying to give a thumbs up, Jiang Xia understood: Very good, it seems that the ring has been returned quietly.
"Hmph, you guys have a conscience and remember to save a seat for me." Kogoro Mori sat down on the seat vacated by Takako Toda. He was about to pick up the cup and gulp down some water, but suddenly he found a faint lip mark on the rim of the cup - this cup seemed to belong to someone else.
Beside him, Matsuzaki Masahiko was shocked when he saw the uncle sitting in his fiancée's seat. "Who are you...?"
Hibiki Eri couldn't bear to watch: "...It's my ex-husband who failed in his career. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."
Jiang Xia waved and asked Maori Kogoro for a new cup. Maori Kogoro, who had been forced to sunbathe on the beach for half a day, grabbed the cup and drank it all in a few gulps. Only then did he feel alive again.
His dry and dehydrated brain started to work again. Maori Kogoro lowered his head and glanced at the seat under his buttocks: "Whose seat is this? Will he be back soon? If not, I will sit down - I haven't eaten yet."
