The atmosphere between the two people was harmonious, but a man wearing a headscarf came over and stood between them. "Hey, Kakutani, it's club meeting time now, don't be too business-like."

After saying that, he did not forget to tidy up his hair and turned to Yin Jiu, "Who is that? Yin Jiu, right? You look pretty good. I'm Ota Masaru. I used to be the male lead in this club. I think we'll have something in common."

He also gestured to the seat next to Suzuki Ayako, a fashionable woman with short hair and jewel earrings, "This is Ikeda Chikako, a very famous screenwriter. Have you seen 'Blue Kingdom'? It was a script she wrote when she was in college."

"So that was Ms. Ikeda's college work? When I watched that drama, I thought it was the work of an experienced screenwriter with sophisticated writing skills." Yin Jiu praised without hesitation, but suddenly felt a faint emotional value coming from the position next to him.

The corners of Yin Jiu's mouth curled up and his eyes shifted slightly.

There was a fat man wearing glasses standing there. Yin Jiu recognized him at a glance as the man who had just opened the wrong door. "Are you... the one in front?"

Yin Jiu took a few steps forward and tried to get closer to the other person, but the man was stingy and restrained his emotions.

"Hello, my name is Takahashi Ryoichi, and I used to be in charge of props in the club."

"Prop master." Yin Jiu nodded.

The topic changed quickly and they began to reminisce about college.

"If Atsuko hadn't had that incident, she would have definitely come."

Suzuki Ayako lowered her head and didn't realize that the whole room had suddenly become quiet.

"boom!"

"That's enough," Ikeda Chikako slammed the table and stood up, "Don't mention Atsuko anymore. Everyone has taken time out of their busy schedules to come here. Let's not mention the dead person. It's really a bummer."

"As expected of a celebrity, you even talk differently now." Ota Katsu snorted coldly, his face full of sarcasm, and then he continued to sneer, "At the beginning, Atsuko and you had a good relationship, right? Is her death related to you? Are you guilty?"

Ikeda Chikako's expression changed again and again, and she suddenly stood up and walked out.

"Tomokako..." Suzuki Ayako also stood up, but Ikeda walked very fast and the door of the villa was closed before she could stop her.

"I... I'll follow her." Hiroki Kadoya didn't expect that Ikeda Tomokako would suddenly leave the table. He glanced at the sky outside, took an umbrella and followed her.

"What... happened?" Mao Lilan and the others were a little confused.

Yin Jiu seemed to be thinking about something, as his emotion level suddenly became abnormally strong.

It was like a mixture of hatred and fear.

Why panic?

"What's wrong, Yin Jiu?" Conan had been paying attention to everyone's expressions, and was stunned when he saw Yin Jiu's expression.

Could it be that this junior student discovered something again?

"You should call me brother," Yin Jiu lowered his head and rubbed Conan's forehead, "I just think Ms. Ikeda is too sensitive about the topic of Atsuko. If it was a classmate who was once very good, no matter why he passed away, you wouldn't say that it was a disappointment to hear the news."

Is that all?

Conan didn't quite believe it, but he unexpectedly saw Suzuki Sonoko at the other end approaching Xiaolan and secretly gestured to Ota Katsu.

"Xiaolan, do you think he's good?" Suzuki Sonoko lowered her voice, "I think he's the type that I'm attracted to!"

"..."

This gossip!

Conan's face darkened, and just as he was about to go over and complain a few words, he heard Sonoko continue.

"By the way, where's your Shinichi?"

"It's such a pity that he didn't come along."

"Who wants to come with him? If he comes here, I will definitely punish him!" Mao Lilan was so angry that she made a gesture to beat someone.

"..."

Conan stopped.

Yin Jiu grinned.

"why are you laughing?"

Conan turned his head and Yin Jiu spread his hands. "I'm laughing at that senior Shinichi. He left such a lovely girlfriend alone. Aren't you afraid that she will be kidnapped?"

"Who, who said it was a girlfriend?"

Conan's face turned a little red, but Yin Jiu patted him on the shoulder.

"Look, isn't there going to be a competitor?"

Conan turned around and saw that Ota Masaru had been attracted by the voices of Mouri Ran and Sonoko and was walking towards this side.

"I don't know if you would like to go for a walk with me?"

Under Sonoko's expectant gaze, Ota Masaru pressed one hand on the wall next to Mouri Ran.

Wall-dong?!

Suzuki Sonoko's expression froze, and Mouri Ran also took a half step back because of the sudden action, and leaned against the wall.

"But, but it's raining outside..." It was the first time that Mao Lilan encountered such a situation, and she could only smile awkwardly and refuse politely.

"Walking in the rain is also poetic."

Ota Katsu refused to give in and even stretched out his other hand to grab Mouri Ran's wrist.

"Stop it, big brother." Yin Jiu raised his eyebrows and stood up before Conan became angry like a puffer fish.

When a bone-chilling, pale hand gently rests on the back of a person's hand, there is an indescribable sense of horror.

Ota Katsushi subconsciously shuddered, retracted his hand and took two steps back.

Sonoko also reacted and stood in front of Mao Lilan, "What are you looking at? Our Xiaolan is already taken!"

"A beautiful... beautiful girl has someone else." Mao Lilan's face turned red instantly.

Ota Katsuno snorted and walked out of the door by himself.

"Pretty face."

When the door was about to close, Ota seemed to be still unsatisfied and spat at Yin Jiu, and then the door was slammed shut with a bang.

"Xiao Lan, Xiao Jiu, are you all right? I didn't expect him to be this kind of person." Suzuki Sonoko complained about what happened to her classmates, "I don't like him at all now."

"I'm fine." Mao Lilan's face was still a little hot. She saw Yin Jiu patting the non-existent dust on his hands. He seemed not to care about the conflict just now at all and walked straight towards Suzuki Ayako.

"I think I accidentally angered another person." Yin Jiu smiled, then he glanced at Gao Qiao who was releasing his emotions again, "Brother Gao Qiao, what are you doing standing so far away?"

"Huh? I'm checking the facilities in the villa."

Takahashi was originally standing farther away from the others, so no one found it strange that he walked to the stairs.

He reached out his hand and probed the stairs, then let out a casual breath, "It seems that this house is still the same as before. It leaks when it rains. I'll go out and fix it."

It was obviously not his first time here, and he easily found the toolbox from the cabinet under the stairs.

Suzuki Ayako was not surprised by Takahashi's behavior. Instead, she took out a dry towel from the villa and said, "Everyone, take a towel and wipe the floor together."

"Takahashi used to be in charge of the props and scene arrangement for our club. So whenever we met here, if there was a leak in the roof or a broken light, he would be responsible for repairing it."

"Then he is a really reliable person," Yin Jiu took the towel and helped to wipe the floor, and asked, "By the way, who is the Atsuko that Sister Lingzi just mentioned?"

"It was another member of our club, but she committed suicide two years ago." Suzuki Ayako paused as she wiped the floor. "I thought everyone was still thinking about her like I was, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

"But didn't the older brother just say that Atsuko and Ikeda Chikako had a good relationship at that time?" Conan was also listening and couldn't help but speak.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were also very curious, so they stopped mopping the floor and came over.

"That's true. At that time, Atsuko and Chikako were very good friends, but..."
