Chapter 2339 2351 [Working Ghost] Ask for monthly ticket o(〃'▽'〃)o
However, unlike a few happy high school girls, others seemed to have no interest in the proposal of "catching and eating fish".
Mrs. Fu picked up half an omelette with a fork and said listlessly, "Forget it. It's too much trouble. Besides, it's not that easy to catch fish. It would be terrible if I slip and fall into the lake."
Jiang Xia: "The food may be destroyed or exhausted, so it is also important to find fresh backup ingredients. Why not practice catching fish now while we have enough supplies?"
And fish are not as difficult to catch as you might imagine: if all else fails, send the mermaid into the water and ask her to catch some live fish and hang them on the underwater hook - fishing is a long and distracting activity, and it is impossible for everyone to always stare at the water surface where he is casting the rod.
The mermaid who was pulling Vodka's hair out of boredom was saying: "?"
Hattori Heiji also thought that going out for a walk was better than staying indoors, and maybe he could find some additional clues. He opened the door of the tool room and looked around, originally wanting to find some wood strips to cut into harpoons, but he unexpectedly found some fishing gear.
"There are fishing rods here!" Hattori Heiji dragged out a few boxes in surprise, "There are also dried baits here, the equipment is quite complete."
The tour guide looked up and explained weakly: "The main selling point here is the Sad Love Lake, and fishing by the lake is also one of the experiences."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" After complaining, Hattori Heiji suddenly remembered that something happened on the first day everyone arrived, and the tour guide really had no time to introduce the vacation process.
After an awkward moment, he changed the subject as if nothing had happened and handed a set of fishing gear to Jiang Xia: "Let's go and try it."
A group of high school students left happily.
Vodka and Vermouth looked at each other and followed silently.
After a few Tokyo residents who were relatively less afraid of murder left, the already depressing atmosphere in the room suddenly became even more solemn.
People finished their breakfast in silence. No one was in the mood to talk and they all went back to their rooms.
And after silence returned to the house.
Side door of the villa.
With a slight creaking sound, the door slowly slid open, and a figure looked around and quickly came out of the house.
He carefully closed the door and looked in the direction of the high school students at the lake, his face showing a bit of madness and solemnity. After hesitating for a moment, he took his tools and went to the woods, and began to set traps with sharpened sticks.
——The intrusion of the high school detective caused the development of the entire script to gradually slip out of his control.
"I didn't expect that anyone around Jiang Xia could detect that I, a 'villa destroyer', was among them through my tiny mistake."
The dark figure recalled the previous reasoning of "Dr. Arata", and his heartbeat slightly accelerated due to nervousness: "Since they have suspicions, they will definitely try to find the real culprit among the remaining people. If I continue like this, I will be exposed sooner or later - I can't sit and wait for death, I must speed up the plan!"
"One of them must get hurt so that things can develop in the direction I want... Who should I choose?"
The dark figure always picks on the weak. For the sake of his own plan, he abandoned his conscience after a moment's thought and unethically fixed his eyes on the three female high school students.
Just as he was hesitating which one to choose, he heard the sound of footsteps trampling branches.
"!"
The dark figure suddenly shrank behind a tree and retreated quietly along the route he had planned in advance.
After stepping back a distance, he looked up at the direction where the sound came from and saw a slender figure with long fluttering hair in the distance.
"It's her..."
The three high school girls were easy to distinguish, one with waist-length hair, one with short hair, and one with a high ponytail. Therefore, even though the faces could not be seen clearly at this distance, the dark figure immediately recognized the person.
"I really don't want to hurt this innocent and lovely girl." He watched Mao Lilan walk towards the trap and sighed softly, "But it's her bad luck that she happened to walk here. Now that things have come to this... let it be."
Watching Mao Lilan walking step by step towards the trap she had set, the dark figure shook his head, unable to bear the sight, and chose to close his eyes.
The next moment, as he expected, Mao Lilan stepped on the mechanism hidden in the grass.
There was a barely audible click, followed by a sound of breaking wind and a terrified scream.
Everything was exactly as the dark figure had expected, except for one thing that seemed a little different.
—For some reason, along with the scream, there was also a loud crash and the sound of tree trunks breaking.
"?" The black figure opened his eyes in shock, "What's going on? An earthquake?"
He refocused his gaze and stared at the place where Mao Lilan was just now.
However, there was no "weak high school girl lying on the ground, bleeding and crying" as he had imagined, only a tree that had been broken in half. The tree was falling towards him, and it was getting bigger and bigger in his vision.
Dark figure: “?!!”
What happened in those few seconds when he closed his eyes? !
…
One minute ago.
On the other side, on the wooden plank bridge on the shore of Sad Love Lake.
Jiang Xia took a fresh fish off the hook, turned around and threw it into the bucket, then re-baited and cast another cast.
A dozen meters away, Hattori Heiji looked at his empty bucket, then at the live fish swimming around in the bucket next to Jiang Xia, with a puzzled look on his face: "We are in the same position, with the same fishing gear and the same bait, why do you have so many fish over there?"
Jiang Xia lit a ghost mint and fed it to the hardworking ghosts. He also took a sip himself and said modestly, "Good luck."
Hattori Heiji: "..."
He approached suspiciously: "Are you..."
Jiang Xia: “?”
Hattori Heiji: "You used another bait behind my back!"
Jiang Xia: “…”
Hattori Heiji snorted, "On the way here, I saw some earthworms in the woods. You must have secretly caught a few when I wasn't paying attention, and then used the fresh bait to lure the fish in the pond. Kazuha and the others have gone to look for earthworms nearby. When I change the bait, I will definitely catch more fish than you!"
Jiang Xia nodded: "Then you do your best."
Then he looked at his bucket and said, "I might be able to catch another one before the earthworm you want comes back."
"Don't even think about it!" Hattori Heiji suddenly didn't want to continue wasting time with this competitor. He returned to his seat and stubbornly dug out the most fresh and delicious-looking bait. After replacing it, he threw the rod into the water again and waited for the fish to bite.
Under the water, the working ghost glanced at him dimly.
After confirming that the black-skinned detective was no longer staring at the water surface, it swam to Jiang Xia's bait with a medium-sized fish in its arms and hung the fish on it.
