Chapter 2330 2342 [Strange Marriage]
"?!" Mao Lilan's face turned pale, and the cup in her hand creaked. "But, but didn't you say that there are no ghosts in the world?"
Jiang Xia retracted his gaze and found that this ghost-fearing classmate had misunderstood his meaning. He laughed and said, "I mean, there is a living person in the room."
He raised his hand and pointed to the corner of the living room.
Mao Lilan followed his gaze and found that a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion had appeared there.
The man held a painting folder in one hand and a paintbrush in the other. He occasionally looked at everyone with a sinister look, then buried his head in his painting and smiled strangely.
"That smile is so scary, is he drawing?" Suzuki Sonoko whispered to two classmates, "I don't think I've seen him on the bus."
The tour guide nearby heard what they said and introduced: "That's Mr. Kobayashi, a painter. He seems to like the scenery here very much, so he came here early."
"The painter named Kobayashi..." Mao Lilan's star-chasing DNA suddenly started to work. She suddenly remembered something, and her fear just now was swept away. She became excited instead, "Could it be Mr. Kobayashi Seiji? I've seen his works in magazines!"
"Kobayashi Seiji?" The old doctor who had been sitting quietly with a smile on his face had obviously heard of this name as well.
Hearing this, he stood up and walked towards the painter sitting in the corner curiously: "I seem to have seen your paintings before - what are you painting? Are you painting us?"
When the painter saw him approaching, he covered his drawing board uncomfortably and said, "Nothing, it's just a draft now."
The old doctor noticed that he didn't want people to see the painting, and scratched his head embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I was just a little curious just now."
Next to them, Hattori Heiji said that he wanted to keep a distance from Jiang Xia and the others, but in fact, he moved to Jiang Xia and the others' side without knowing when.
Seeing Kobayashi Seiji's evasiveness, Detective Osaka laughed and whispered to a group of classmates, "You can't look at that person's paintings while eating."
Mao Lilan was stunned: "Why? I remember his paintings were very beautiful, with very rich colors."
Hattori Heiji: "What you see are paintings that can be approved by magazines, but in fact most of his works cannot be published at all - I remember that when he was in Osaka, he was involved in a murder case and became a suspect in that case because he was..."
"What are the young people whispering about together?"
Suddenly, a laugh came from the opposite side, interrupting their conversation.
Jiang Xia looked up and saw that it was the couple with a big age gap. After a few drinks, their calm demeanor disappeared. They clinked their glasses and said jokingly, "Come to think of it, the holiday resort is a good place to get married."
The gray-haired man hugged his young wife and said proudly, "My wife and I met at the resort!"
The lady leaned against him and gave him a polite business smile.
She didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, and quickly turned the topic around to a few high school students: "It's a beautiful day, don't miss the opportunity - like you and you, you and you, and you and you."
She pointed and generously selected six people, forming three pairs: "They look very compatible! Seize the opportunity."
"?" Hattori Heiji slammed the table and stood up, "How can Kazuha be a good match for this idiot who can get stuck in a hole when crossing a bridge?"
Vodka: "......?" Why are you scolding me? It's none of my business. Do you think I like to be associated with people around Uzo? !
Apparently, they were not the only ones who were dissatisfied with this match. Conan's eyes twitched wildly, and he tried to keep smiling: "But I think Uncle Shinide and Sister Xiaolan are not suitable. Doctor Shinide is too old."
Vermouth, who was thinking that this pairing was very interesting, said: "..."
Fortunately, she is not a real uncle Shinide, and she does not have such thoughts about Xiaolan. Otherwise, with Cool Guy's ability to offend people, Uzo might have been unable to resist writing a script about the "school doctor murdering elementary school students for love."
The wealthy lady across the street saw their reaction and laughed happily: "It was just a joke. What if it works? When you are young, there are endless possibilities!"
"That's right!" The real estate tycoon lifted his gray hair and found his presence in this topic. "When I first met my wife, she was so young and beautiful. I didn't expect that we could become a couple - but now you see, we are still together. This is fate!"
Vodka: "..." I don't know if it's fate or not, I just know that judging from the wife's small gestures of disdain and avoidance, you must have a small fortune... If your wife has a lover, and they have a deep and hidden story, your script will be on the right track...
…
The atmosphere in the room was getting lively, when suddenly, the radio that was playing soothing music next to him changed its tune and interrupted with a piece of news.
[Emergency broadcast, emergency broadcast——
[Early this morning, a suspect escaped while being taken to the Inoue Police Station in Hienon Village.
[This suspect is suspected of being involved in the Tosho-cho massacre, the Chuzen-in destruction case, and other serious crimes. He is extremely dangerous. Citizens, please...]
"Why are they suddenly broadcasting this kind of thing?" Senior Toono was holding a wine glass and was about to talk to Suzuki Sonoko. Hearing this, he couldn't help but frowned and turned off the radio.
"Inoue Police Station in Hienon Village..." The wife shook her glass and thought for a while. Suddenly she remembered something and sat up straight. "Isn't this the police station nearby? It's near the bus parking lot. I saw it. Could it be that the brutal guy ran over here?! - Turn on the radio and listen to his escape route!"
"Why listen to that unlucky stuff?" The middle-aged man huddled in another corner laughed coldly. "Besides, if the police knew his escape route, would they have let him escape until now? They would have caught him long ago."
Vodka glanced at the guy who was suspected to be a villa vandal, and touched his swollen mouth thoughtfully: "..." The family annihilation case in the news, plus the vandalism case... This can't be talking about you, kid.
"Come to think of it, those stupid policemen have already identified the suspect?"
Vodka discovered something new from these few pieces of information: "You can't judge a person by his appearance. Yesterday they seemed to have no clue, but today they have made such great progress... Hey, I have to be careful and not underestimate them like before, otherwise I might be the next one on the radio!"
