Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 20: Should You Talk About Unhappy Things When You Are Happy?

"So that's it, you were all from the same club before?" Xiaolan said.

It was already evening at this time, the sky was already dark, and dull thunder could be heard from time to time outside the window, but none of this could stop the lively atmosphere of the party.

At this moment, everyone gathered in the living room, drinking afternoon tea, eating snacks and chatting around a table.

According to everyone's introduction, these friends of Suzuki Ayako are all her classmates from the film research club in college.

This time a total of four people came, three men and one woman.

In the first room on the second floor, the man who was inadvertently broken into by Mao Lilan was called Kadotani Hiroki, who used to be in charge of photography in the club.

He is unattractive, tall and thin, and always carries a V8 camera that can be carried with him.Occupation is the editor of a movie magazine, and he has heard a little about the recently rising Kindaichi.

The second room on the second floor, opposite Kakutani Hiroki, the owner of the room where no one has come out before is called Takahashi Ryoichi. He used to be in charge of props in the club, and now he is an ordinary employee of the food company.

He wears big glasses, has a fleshy body, is not tall, and looks simple and honest.Jin Tianyi Er had never seen such a fat person in his life. In his previous life, he had seen a fat man called Sun Yue who only weighed 260 Jin on TV.

The owner of the third room on the second floor, that handsome young man who is not very polite is called Masaru Ota. It turned out that he was the best candidate for the male lead in the club because of his appearance. However, he did not continue to do this job after graduation, but did The sale of imported cars, judging from his well-dressed but coquettish attire, he should live a more refined life.

Then there is the only woman among the old classmates, who is also the target of Kindaichiji's trip-Tomokako Ikeda.

Tomokako Ikeda has neat short hair, mature heavy makeup, and fashionable clothes, but in terms of appearance, Kazuto Kaneda privately thinks that she is not as good as the other girls present. Calculate.

It may be because she achieved success at a young age, so there is always a hint of arrogance between her brows and eyes, and her eyes have a kind of superior aura when looking at people, that is, she appears a little more cordial in front of her friends.

Compared with Suzuki Ayako, who is gentle, introverted, and amiable, she looks more like an arrogant young lady.

She used to be the president of the club and was in charge of directing and writing.

To be honest, Kindaichi always thought that Suzuki Ayako would be the head of the club, but she was only in charge of clothing making, which seemed to be expensive work.

Should it be said that the energy of capital in an ivory tower is not as good as talent, or is it that Suzuki Ayako has a good personality?

Kindaichiji didn't have the confidence to get in touch with such a person, and this mission seemed to be difficult, so he couldn't help but retreat in his heart.

"Could it be that you are Ms. Tomokako Ikeda, the screenwriter of "The Blue Kingdom" that is currently being screened!" Xiaolan said in surprise.

"That's right, it was Tomokako's college-era works, and it was also a masterpiece of his debut in the literary world!" Suzuki Ayako happily introduced.

"Don't mention the past anymore!" Chikako Ikeda showed a rare embarrassed expression.

Everyone also showed expressions of envy or pride.

At this time, Perseus' magic mirror suddenly reacted, it should be the passive effect of [Forbidden Magic Mirror] activated.

Among the people present, there was a duplicity person with particularly strong emotions!

who can that be?

Kindaichiji took out the magic mirror and wanted to look for it.

"Huh? What is this?" Conan suddenly appeared in front of the magic mirror, and the system interface was instantly covered with Conan's big face.

"It's just an ordinary mirror. I felt itchy on my face just now. I don't know if there is something there." He didn't have time to take a closer look. He only saw a piece of Conan who looked like a thinker, and quickly dismissed it as if nothing had happened. skills.

"Can you show me?" Conan asked for advice, but in fact, the little hand had snatched the magic mirror away with lightning speed.

Although this move was caught off guard, and Conan didn't know where the speed of his hand came from, but Kazuto Kinda was not worried. This thing was indeed an ordinary makeup mirror in the eyes of others.

Conan pretended to be playful and checked the mirror over and over again to confirm that there was no special mechanism.

He has been paying attention to Jin Tianichi's movements today, and seeing him suddenly take out a mirror inexplicably, he feels something is wrong.

In his eyes, the small mirror has many functions, and it is a very good investigative tool for detectives, who can observe others while hiding themselves.

Mori Kogoro carried this one with him, mainly used to secretly track the target. In fact, he would also carry such a one before. After it was shrunk down, it had a natural cover, and with the various magical props of Dr. A Li, Xiao Mirrors are not so necessary.

I thought that the man in front of me was also a detective, so the mirror he was wearing must have some special effect.

However, after looking over and over for a long time, there was nothing.

Although he didn't find anything wrong with the mirror, Conan thought that taking out the mirror itself was a signal, which meant that he might be investigating someone.

"I still have use for this, please return it to me."

With this excuse, the two people, one big and one small, are chatting about the mirror issue, and they are also chatting about the core character Tomokako Ikeda.

"Calculating the time, the script for your next film should be finished." Ota Katsuki said.

"Yes, yes, next time I invite the famous screenwriter Tomokako Ikeda to announce the progress of his new work to his fans!" Hiroki Kakutani pretended to be filming with a V8 camera.

"How should I put it, look at that handsome little brother appearing here, you know what's going on with my new work." Tomokako Ikeda lightly exhaled a puff of smoke ring.

"So this little star came here to ask for a role?" Ota Katsuki seemed to be brooding over the previous incident.

These words turned everyone's attention to Kazuto Kinda, and there was an inexplicable disdain in the eyes of several people.

Kindaichiji was a little at a loss. Although he wanted to give up on this matter now, he did have thoughts about it before, and he was so guilty that he couldn't speak for a while.

"That's not the case!" Yuanzi stood up suddenly, his expression a little ugly: "Erjun, he is my classmate and my friend. I invited him to this party. He doesn't even know who is coming. , how come you came to ask for a role!"

Xiaolan also came out to testify that Yuanzi initiated the invitation.

Under Sonoko's righteous words, the misunderstanding was resolved, everyone's attitude returned to the original state, and Ota Katsuki apologized lightly, and the matter was over.

"Now that we are all friends, I would like to ask you to do me a favor. Although there is no character that fits your image in my script, your boss fits the image of the heroine in my mind. Can you help me when you go back? Invite her!" Tomokako Ikeda said with interest.

Kindaichiji saw that although she looked arrogant, her attitude was serious, and with the help of the magic mirror, she was able to confirm that she was not joking casually, so he readily agreed.

He can't act in a hit movie, and the same goes for Sister Yoko, since they are all from the same company anyway.

A small episode passed quickly, and everyone returned to the happy atmosphere.

Hiroki Kakutani recorded the happy scenes with a v8 camera. Everyone laughed at Ryoichi Takahashi's figure, wished each other a bright future, and recalled the youthful memories of their previous college days.

In this warm and beautiful atmosphere, Suzuki Ayako suddenly became depressed for some reason.

"If... If that thing hadn't happened to Atsuko, she would definitely be laughing with us here!"

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of the other four people changed, and there was a strange silence at the scene. Even Kindaichiji, who was struggling with Conan's endless questions, felt that the harmony and anger came to an abrupt end.

"Atsuko? Who is it?" The trio of high school students and Conan both felt a little baffled.

"That's enough, don't mention Atsuko anymore!" Chikako Ikeda suddenly stood up angrily: "Everyone took time out of their busy schedules to come here for vacation, so don't mention the people who died many years ago. Really It’s so disappointing!”

"I'm sorry..." Suzuki Ayako lowered her head, feeling a little sorry.

"Hmph, you are indeed a celebrity, your tone of voice is completely different!" Ota Katsu said in a nonchalant tone.

"What are you talking about!" Ikeda Tomokako yelled.

"Okay, okay, I'll prepare dinner right away. The scenery here is very good, so let's go around." Suzuki Ayako hurriedly became a peacemaker, but fortunately, there was no fight in the end, but this afternoon tea chat event was regarded as Completely scattered.

Suzuki Ayako went to prepare dinner, Ikeda Chikako walked out of the door angrily, Kakutani Hiroki also chased him out, Takahashi Ryoichi went to repair the roof, and Ohta Masaru stood by the window to pose, and he didn't know who he was showing it to.

"That Ikeda sister is so fierce!" Conan said.

"That's right, you actually yelled at my elder sister like that just now." Yuanzi's tone was a little displeased.

"If you want me to say that your sister is also wrong, you shouldn't mention unhappy things when you were so happy just now!" Jintianichiji said.

"What, you actually talked to that woman, have you forgotten how I talked to you just now?" Yuanzi said in a bad tone.

"That's not what I meant just now..." Kindaichiji couldn't cope with such a conversation.

"Okay, okay, what's the arguing between you two?" Xiaolan said.

"Sister Sonoko, do you know what happened to Atsuko?" Conan took the opportunity to ask what he had been wanting to ask.

Don't ask him why he wants to ask this question, it is an occupational disease.
