Conan: Begins to collaborate with Miss Bayonetta and become famous

Chapter 407: The Strange Story of the Lady in Red

"Stop talking!" Ma Zi was a little unhappy.

Da Zhuang sighed helplessly: "But it's really a pity, I was so looking forward to having high school girls come, but they actually brought their boyfriends, and there are two pairs."

"Huh?! Two pairs?"

Asako explained: "Because we heard before that Sera's sister would come with her female friends————"

"I am Sera's sister! Sera Masumi!!"

"What!?" The two looked at her in surprise: "You...you are actually a girl?"

"I always thought you were a boy!"

"Ahem!" Baijiu cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Dazhuang, what's in your backpack? Why is it so bulging?"

Hearing this, he immediately put his backpack on the ground, unzipped it, and took out something from it: "You mean this? It's actually a baseball bat! Every year I bring this in for self-defense."

"But this bat looks pretty thin." Baijiu looked it up and down: "Can I play baseball with this bat?"

Da Zhuang broke out in a cold sweat: "That's why I said it was for self-defense."

"You said it's for self-defense?" Xiaolan showed a panic expression, hugged Luxin's arm tightly, and curled up: "Could it be that there is a bear around?"

"No... No, we won't encounter a bear, right?"

“Yes…yes.”

Everyone went into the house and enjoyed their lunch. Xiaolan cut off a small piece of meat with a knife, picked up the fork, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully.

Soon, she smiled happily and immersed herself in it: "It's delicious!!"

"Really, this is really delicious." Lu Xin couldn't help but praise.

"Ms. Komine, the hamburgers you make are really delicious! Right, Conan?" Sera said happily with his fangs showing.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Ma Zi wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue: "Xiao Feng, I think the hamburger steaks you made can be sold in the store."

"Is it really that good?" Xiao Feng said modestly, "I am a little proud of your praise."

Da Zhuang added: "You're right, a hamburger like this can definitely be sold at a good price!"

There were waves of praises, and everyone except Ms. Xiaoxiang had an expression of enjoyment.

Lu Xin said with a hint of meaning: "Shiliang, you seem to be very skilled in using the knife and fork, is that because————"

Shiliang didn't wait for her to finish and continued her topic cheerfully: "Actually, I couldn't do it at all when I was young, but after living abroad for three years, I naturally got used to it."

Without any hesitation or concealment, tell them the truth.

"As expected of you who came back from America." Xiaolan said with a smile in her eyes.

"Conan, look at you, your mouth is all covered in it." Lu Xin took out a tissue and wiped his mouth as if she cared about her son, which made Baijiu, who was standing next to her, feel very uncomfortable.

"By the way, may I ask how you two met?"

Xiaoxiang closed her eyes and said coldly, "I joined the outdoor activities club in high school."

Ma Zi raised his glass lightly: "Everyone went hiking or camping together at that time."

"However, since we are high school students, almost all club activities can only be concentrated in the summer vacation."

Xiao Feng had a happy smile on his face: "But at that time, I was really happy, even though there were only five classmates in the club."

Xiaolan heard this and took a breath: "Five classmates, that means the woman in red clothes that we saw in the forest just now is also a member of your club, right?"

Everyone's heart suddenly trembled, and they showed shocked expressions, their eyes wider than before. Xiaofeng was holding a tray of water cups, which suddenly fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

Baijiu half-closed his eyes, sipped his tea, and immediately realized that there was a clue behind this.

Xiao Feng opened his mouth wide and asked hurriedly: "Where did you see it?"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Xiaolan was confused by everyone's reaction: "Just now in the forest, Teacher Yiyu also saw it."

Ms. Xiaoxiang was very emotional and slammed her hands on the table: "Are you sure that person is wearing red clothes?"

"Yes...what's wrong?"

Baijiu spoke coldly, deliberately lowering his voice: "It was a woman wearing a red raincoat, red boots, and long red hair from head to toe."

“Could that be…?” Da Zhuang’s nostrils couldn’t help but flare.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Ma Zi trembled all over: "Congzi is clearly dead, how could she still be alive?!"

"No..." Da Zhuang calmed Ma Zi down and explained, "I was wondering if it was possible that it was the murderer from fifteen years ago."

"Please tell us about that matter in detail. I think Sera and Conan are also very curious about it." Baijiu supported his chin with both hands.

"Yes, it happened fifteen years ago. A murder occurred in another rental villa nearby. The victim was an employee of a certain company."

"When he was secretly traveling with his affair partner and arrived at the rental villa, his wife suddenly broke in with a kitchen knife."

"By the time the police heard about the commotion and rushed over, the room in the rental villa had already turned into a sea of ​​blood. The wife was holding a knife and stabbing her husband repeatedly."

"So much blood spurted out that it dyed his wife's white raincoat red, so everyone called her——"

"The woman in red!"

Lu Xin ate her meal calmly: "So later, did the police catch the woman in red?"

"No, she used a kitchen knife to injure the police officers who arrived at the scene, then disappeared into the forest. She is still on the run."

"Three years later, during the summer vacation in high school, we came to this rental villa, and another member, Satoko, said."

Da Zhuang deliberately lowered his voice and said, "We saw the woman in red, so we suggested that we go look for her in the forest together."

"However, during the search, only Congzi got separated from the rest of us. As it was getting dark at that time, we asked the police to assist in the search, but there was still no result."

"It was a week later that we found her. What we finally found was Satoko's muddy body, which had sunk to the bottom of the bottomless swamp."

"Although it was because the shoes were right next to the swamp that we finally found her."

"But the kitchen knife used in the murder case was also left at the crime scene. Anyone would think so."

The little incense girl's eyes suddenly widened, and she said seriously, "Maybe Congzi was being chased by the red-dressed woman lurking in the forest, and because she was fleeing in a panic, she accidentally fell into the swamp and died."
