Chapter 2220 2231 [Villa in the Forest] Ask for monthly ticket ()
"Over there!" Suzuki Sonoko patted Jiang Xia in surprise, "Look at the light over there, does it look like a villa?"
Her sister liked to buy villas in the mountains and forests, and she liked to take them to live there. Therefore, Suzuki Sonoko was very familiar with this kind of single-family house standing in the forest, and she couldn't help but feel happy when she took a look at it.
"These kinds of villas in the woods usually have landlines installed," Suzuki Sonoko knew a lot. "Let's go borrow their phone."
Mao Lilan looked at the ball of light and couldn't help shrinking: "But why is there a villa in such a deserted place? Don't you think it's weird?"
"It's not weird, it's normal." Conan said and sneezed, "Let's go." If he didn't leave, he would really freeze to death.
Jiang Xia was obviously quite welcoming to the sudden appearance of the house, and soon a group of people walked over.
As they got closer, the whole picture of the villa appeared in front of everyone. Warm and bright light illuminated the surroundings. Mao Lilan looked at this ordinary house and finally breathed a sigh of relief, dispelling some of the image of the haunted house in her mind.
Jiang Xia went forward and knocked on the door: "Hello, is anyone there?"
There was a sound of shuffling footsteps in the room, and the sound of shoes rubbing against the ground gradually approached, and a figure was reflected on the translucent frosted glass sliding door.
Mao Lilan looked at the short stature and felt something was wrong. The next moment, she saw the door opened a crack, and a kappa-like old man appeared in the crack, looking out of the door.
"?!" Mao Lilan jumped up, "Ghost!!"
"You are the ghost!"
The old man's hoarse voice sounded and he opened the door with a bang.
After revealing his entire body, everyone realized that he was just an ordinary old man of short height wearing a brown-gray bathrobe.
"What are you doing here? You're not salesmen again." He looked up at the group of strange young people in front of him, and finally looked down at Conan, "Why is there a wet little kid here? - I tell you, even if you want to use a child to gain sympathy, I won't pay a dime!"
Jiang Xia was very patient: "We just want to borrow the phone."
"Hmm, borrow my phone?"
The old man looked at him suspiciously, and suddenly realized: "You just want to trick me into letting you in, so that you can stay in my house and start selling things to me, right? Humph, I have seen through your tricks. No wonder I always feel that you look familiar. You must be a salesman who has come to my house before. Don't think that I don't recognize you just because you have a new group of accomplices! I'm saying this one last time. If you don't want to buy, get out!"
"..." Vermouth couldn't help but look at him with respect.
The old man was oblivious to her gaze.
He was about to slam the door shut when someone suddenly came up from behind. A male voice asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"
Suzuki Sonoko couldn't stand this kind of cross-age communication. When she heard that there were young people coming, she quickly raised her voice and said, "Borrow the phone! There is no signal here. We just want to borrow your phone!"
After saying that, the people at the door saw who was coming and were suddenly startled.
The person in the room was also stunned: "Why are you guys here? It's really fate."
Judy stared at him, unable to believe it for a moment: This... was actually the tennis coach they met on the tennis court before!
At that time, this person invited them to sit in his house, but Suzuki Sonoko decisively refused. Judy thought that this scene had been exposed, but who knew that now, they actually went directly to this person's house!
...Is this just an ordinary coincidence or a complicated design?
Speaking of which, the first person to discover this villa was Suzuki Sonoko. Could this girl really...
The question mark that had faded away in Judy's mind suddenly came back with a hundred times the force, overwhelming her.
At the same time, she had to tense her tired body, become alert again, and start thinking, if this was not a coincidence but a deliberate design, then what exactly was "that person" planning.
Vermouth didn't expect to be hit by a boomerang. Her eyes suddenly became meaningful, and she quietly added today's experience to her mental manual of prevention.
At the same time, everything suddenly connected in her eyes - were those two cars really washed away by the water accidentally?
"My car has been following Judy the whole time. It was Judy who chose the parking spot, and Uzo was sitting in her car..." Vermouth thought quickly in her mind, "Poor FBI, she probably hasn't realized yet that she has begun to act according to Uzo's rhythm."
Vermouth: “…” Come to think of it, she thought the show was over when she saw Suzuki Sonoko draw the curtain. This idea was really naive.
That's why she let her guard down just now, and didn't even react when Cool Guy fell into the water. By analogy, if Wu Zuo got tired of playing and suddenly wanted someone to shoot her, wouldn't she just get shot stupidly?
“I shouldn’t have done that. This shouldn’t have happened.” Vermouth reflected on herself. “But fortunately, after this experience, I won’t make the same mistake again next time… I really can’t relax at all around this guy.”
…
Anyway, with this tennis coach who can understand human language, several unfortunate travelers who lost their vehicles finally have a place to stay.
"The landline is over there."
The tennis coach pointed them to the place, then rummaged around and took out a medical kit: "Luckily, I have the right major, and I often help myself and my students deal with sprains. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to buy the right medicine around here."
He looked at Conan's swollen wrist and said, "I'll bandage it for you. It might be a little painful, so bear it and don't cry, little boy."
Conan: "Ahaha, thank you uncle."...You're the one who'll cry!
Vermouth took a closer look and knew that Conan's wrist was not seriously injured, so she did not rush to bandage it: the tennis coach's technique was quite professional, so there was no big problem.
…
Conan changed into dry clothes and felt like he had come alive again.
Suzuki Sonoko also went to the landline to make a call, and soon came back happily: "My sister is on vacation nearby, she said she would send a car to pick us up, and it should be here soon!"
Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great."
Vermouth: “…” Naive child, you’re relaxing too early.
Judy was a little hesitant. She looked around and asked the tennis coach, "Are you and your father the only ones at home now?"
The tennis coach nodded: "Yeah."
Judy refused to give up: "No friends want to come over?"
The tennis coach was stunned: "I would like to invite my friends to come over, but it's raining and no one wants to go out... Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Judy laughed dryly, "Nothing."
