People in Conan, aiming to be the idol of the whole nation

"Sister Xiaolan, I'm back!"

Conan opened the door and walked in but didn't see anyone.

[Strange, I remember that Sonoko was going to discuss something with Xiaolan today. Why didn't I see anyone? ]

A bad premonition came to Conan's mind, and he walked to the sofa and put down his schoolbag, just in time to see the chocolate wrapper thrown away in the trash can next to him.

"this is not!"

Conan recognized the wrapping paper at a glance. The chocolate that Xiaolan prepared was wrapped in this paper. He was watching from the side and there was no mistake.

Now, the wrapping paper is in the trash can, which only means that it has been eaten by someone else!

[Damn it, who ate the chocolate Xiaolan prepared for me! ]

Originally, Conan had planned to eat the chocolate when Xiaolan was not around that day. Then, he sent a message to Xiaolan saying that he came back to see her and was hungry, so he ate the chocolate on the table. But now, someone has eaten it.

It’s so irritating!

"Um, is there paper on the table?"

Conan noticed the paper and a stack of banknotes on the table. He took the paper and found that there were words on it, which were obviously from Xiaolan.

"Conan, Sonoko and I went to attend her sister's party. We will be out for a day or two. Dad is still playing mahjong. If you come back, tell him that you and Dad should have dinner together these few days. If you really can't, you can eat out. I left some living expenses that should be enough for you. I am going out with Brother Fujie, don't worry."

"What are you worried about? I'm even more worried when you go out with that guy. You didn't even call me when you went out, Xiaolan, you're really something! Uncle Maori can't even take care of himself, I'll just stay at Dr. Agasa's place for a few days!"

Conan held the note tightly. It was because Xiaolan went out with that man that made him feel a sense of crisis.

However, now that everyone has gone out, he can do nothing about it. If he had known earlier, he would have returned sooner, maybe he could have caught up.

. . . . . .

On the way to the villa, Yuanzi and Xiaolan sat in the car and enjoyed the scenery.

Fujie Akiyoshi drove quietly without saying a word on the way. Sonoko felt really bored and leaned over behind Fujie Akiyoshi's seat and said:

"Brother Fujie, I see you've been quite free lately, either taking Sayuri-sensei to a wedding or attending my sister's class reunion. As a big star, shouldn't you be filming movies and holding concerts?"

"I really don't have much to do recently. I am preparing for a concert, but it's not time yet. As for the acting you mentioned, I have received many film invitations in the United States, and Hollywood has also filmed it. In Japan, there are no good scripts recently, but if the acting urge comes, I might consider finding a supporting role to play."

Most of the scripts that Fujie Akiyoshi can find are of course the main characters, but there are currently no scripts that he likes. After all, if the script is not good, then wouldn't it be a loss of his reputation when the film is made?

If he plays a supporting role, he doesn't have to think too much about it. He just takes the role if he likes it. He still has to create some popularity for himself and attract people's attention.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, but don't forget that I'm not just an actor and singer. I'm also a cartoonist and chairman, so there are still many things I have to do. Fortunately, I have your sister to help me, which relieves a lot of pressure for me."

Fujie Akiyoshi also praised Suzuki Ayako.

"Of course, but you're so close to Mr. Matsumoto, how close are you to my sister?"

Yuanzi changed the subject, and the meaning was obvious. According to the context, it translates to:

Between Mr. Matsumoto and my sister, which one do you plan to choose?

"Your mother has basically let go and let us go on, so don't worry about the garden!"

Your mother doesn't plan to take care of this matter, so don't worry about it!

"what!"

Hearing this answer, Sonoko's eyes widened in disbelief. Unexpectedly, her mother had allowed Fujie Akiyoshi to date other people besides her sister, and approved of Fujie Akiyoshi's philandering behavior.

This... does this mean that she also has a chance?

A thought flashed through Yuanzi's mind, and then her whole face instantly turned red with embarrassment.

"Sonoko, are you okay? You don't have a fever, do you?"

Xiaolan noticed something was wrong with Sonoko, and went forward to check, asking worriedly.

"Ah, Xiaolan, I'm fine. Just get some fresh air!"

Yuanzi dodged hurriedly, opened the car window next to her, and calmed down by the cold wind blowing past her. Xiaolan moved a little closer to Yuanzi, just in time to see the smile on Yuanzi's face.

"Garden?"

Seeing this, an idea came into Xiaolan's mind. Could it be that the reason why Sonoko didn't hand over the chocolate before was...

Just as the vehicle entered the forest, it began to drizzle, making the road more and more slippery. In addition, there were many bends, and accidents were likely to occur if one was not careful. Fortunately, Fujie Akiyoshi had superb driving skills and easily took the two girls through here.

"Brother Fujie, your driving skills are really good!"

"Sonoko, don't forget that I played the role of Fujiwara Takumi in the movie Initial D. If I didn't have the skills in this area, I wouldn't have humiliated myself by being the lead actor!"

An hour later, they arrived at their destination. Fujie Akiyoshi parked the car nearby, and the three of them got out of the car and came to the suspension bridge leading to the mountain villa. When they got out of the car, Fujie Akiyoshi put a satellite phone in his pocket.

"what is that?"

Xiaolan suddenly shouted, pointing to the woods next to the mountain villa, where a strange man with a bandage wrapped around his face appeared. He seemed to have heard Xiaolan's cry, and then without any hesitation, he went into the dense woods next to him.

"Xiaolan, what's wrong?"

When Yuanzi heard the sound, he ran to Xiaolan's side anxiously, and then looked in the direction Xiaolan was looking at, but he didn't see anything.

"Just now I seemed to see a bandaged man who suddenly appeared and then disappeared into the jungle."

Xiaolan explained.

"No way. Apart from my parents coming here when they have nothing to do, my sister also invited people to her college party this time. Apart from that, there shouldn't be any third party here. Did you see it wrong?"

"Sonoko, I think we still have to be careful. It's not impossible that someone else sneaked into the villa and did something bad. After all, the only two heirs of the Suzuki Group are gathered here today. It's not impossible that someone will take a risk!"

Fujie Akiyoshi's words reminded Sonoko that, yes, she and her sister were very important to the Suzuki Group. It was normal for someone to have bad intentions.

"Everyone, pay attention. Let's enter the villa first!"

"Ok!"

The two girls looked at each other and nodded.

Then, the three of them walked across the suspension bridge to the villa among the dense woods on the opposite side.

Without Conan, the murderer of Bandage Monster Villa, Fujie Akiyoshi, is very clear. I wonder what kind of story will be played out under such circumstances?
