Chapter 1532 Woman in Red

"It doesn't matter." Shiliang Zhenzhen waved his hands indifferently and said with a smile.

While talking, a man with a Chinese character face and a fat man with a white scarf on his head also came over.

After seeing everyone, the Chinese-character face looked at Minegishi Tamami and said with a smile: "By the way, Detective JK, Sera's sister, is it really here?"

"Renta and Hakutani, are you two here together?" Minegishi Tsumi greeted them with a smile after seeing them.

"No, Jinsuke and I met by chance in the forest." The fat Bogu explained.

"Hey, this guy from the Chang family said he just fell into the swamp."

Renda Jinsuke laughed happily: "When I met him, he was changing clothes in the forest.

This kid is still as weak as before. "

"Stop talking!" Bo Guchang's family looked at their companions who were adding insult to injury and quickly stopped them.

"But it's really a pity." Jinsuke Renda said with a smile: "I was so looking forward to having female high school students come over, but I didn't expect that they would all bring their boyfriends."

Sera Masumi was originally a tomboy, and although Karasawa was older than them, he was not much older. He looked very young in casual clothes today.

"Because we heard before that Seriang's sister would bring female friends over." Bogu Changjia explained.

It's normal for Ren Tian Jinsuke to have such misunderstandings.

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

Sera Masumi, who was already used to being identified as having the wrong gender, screamed angrily and her defenses were broken by being identified by the wrong gender one after another.

"It turns out to be a girl!?" Rentian Jinsuke said in shock.

"I thought it must be a boy!" Bogu Changjia nodded in agreement.

"But even if they are girls, these two around me already have boyfriends." Tang Ze said with a smile, "I have to disappoint you."

Hearing Karasawa's words, Renda Jinsuke said it was a pity, but looking at his expression, you could tell that they were just joking words to liven up the atmosphere, and he didn't really care.

"By the way, brother, what do you put in this backpack?"

Conan on the side changed the topic at the right time, looked curiously at the satchel carried by Jinsuke Renda and asked curiously.

"You're talking about this." Shinsuke Rentian smiled when he heard this, opened his backpack and took out a wooden bat: "This is a baseball bat. I bring this thing every year for self-defense."

"But this baseball bat looks very thin." Karasawa asked, "It doesn't look like it can play baseball."

"That's why I said it was used for self-defense." Rentian Jinsuke smiled and said.

"You, you said it was for self-defense." Xiaolan had a bad premonition when she heard that there would be no bears around here.

"Is there a bear around here?" Yuanzi asked with a worried look.

"That's not true. You shouldn't encounter bears around here."

When Jinsuke Rentian said this, he looked awkwardly and politely towards his companions to seek agreement, while Bogu Changjia reluctantly agreed, but his expression was a little unnatural.

Not only him, Karasawa noticed that Minegishi Tamami, who was standing aside, also had an unnatural expression on his face.

It was obvious that they were taboo about something and even brought baseball bats to protect themselves.

"Okay, okay, everyone, don't stand at the door. We'll talk about the details after we go in."

Noticing Karasawa's focused gaze, Minegishi Tamami quickly changed the subject with a smile, and the group entered the villa one after another.

Because everyone set out for the villa early in the morning, after arriving here, we took a short rest and started preparing lunch.

"Really delicious!"

Xiaolan tasted the hamburger meat on the plate and exclaimed: "Miss Zhumei, the hamburger meat you made is really delicious!"

"It's really good, it's professional." Tangze praised with a smile after swallowing a piece of hamburger meat.

"That's right, I also think it can be sold directly in the store." Bogu Changjia agreed.

"Thank you so much for the compliments." Sumimi Minegishi came over with cold water and said with a smile after hearing everyone's compliments.

"Sister Sera, you seem to be very familiar with knives and forks." Conan asked curiously, looking at Sera Masumi opposite.

"Actually, I couldn't do it at all when I was little." Sera Masaki said with a smile, "But after three years abroad, I got completely used to it."

"As expected, he came back from being beautiful and cheap." Yuanzi said with a smile.

"I thought children learned everything very quickly, but I didn't expect you, Seriang, to be the complete opposite." Xiaolan said with a smile and took out her handkerchief: "Conan, there's sauce on your mouth."

"Speaking of which, how do you all know each other?" During the chat, Tang Ze quietly asked about the situation of everyone present.

"Joined the outdoor activity club when I was in high school." Sumika Kawana replied in a cold tone.

"At that time, everyone went out camping or hiking together." Bogu Changjia said with a smile.

"Well, I was still a high school student at the time, so all club activities could only be concentrated during the summer vacation." After Jinsuke Jinsuke finished speaking, he took over Minegishi Tamami with a smile and thanked him.

"But I was really happy at that time!" Summi Minegishi said with a smile, "Although there are only five classmates in the club."

"Eh~"

Xiaolan said with a smile: "If there are five people, that means the woman in red clothes I just saw in the forest is also one of your club members, right?"

After the words fell, the expressions of the four people present changed dramatically, and even the tray in Minegishi Tamami's hand fell to the ground.

"Where did you see me?"

Not caring to clean up the water glass that fell on the ground, Sumei Minegishi looked at Xiaolan and asked urgently.

"She also saw Yuanzi in the forest when we came." Looking at the horrified expressions on everyone's faces, Xiaolan also noticed something was wrong and said without confidence.

"Are you sure the person you saw was wearing red clothes?" Sumika Kawana asked with a look of horror.

"Yes." Xiaolan nodded and said, "She is wearing a red raincoat and red boots. She is a girl with long hair that is red from top to bottom. That's right."

"Hey! Does that mean it is...?"

Before Jinsuke Rentian's horrified words could be uttered, Bogu Changjia interrupted him with a fierce reaction: "Impossible! This is a lie!!"

The Bo Guchang family trembled and roared: "Songzi is already dead, how can she still be alive!"

"No," Imda Jinsuke looked at the excited Hakutani Masashi and explained, "I was wondering if he could be the murderer from 15 years ago?"

"Ah hey." After hearing Rentian Jinsuke's words, Bogu Changjia showed a look of fear on his face.

"Na."

Just as the atmosphere was gradually filled with fear, Sera Masaki opened his mouth to attract everyone's attention: "Can you please tell us in detail about that matter?
  I think both me, Karasawa-san and Conan-kun are very curious. " "Of course. Tang Ze nodded and said, "And aren't we here to resolve this matter?" "

"I understand." Summi Minegishi nodded after hearing what the two said, and immediately said, "Then let me tell you about this."

Along with the memories of Tumi Minegishi, the truth of what they were afraid of was slowly revealed in front of everyone.

What happened was that 15 years ago, a murder occurred in another rental villa nearby.

The person who was killed was an ordinary employee of a certain company.

At that time, he was taking his affair lover to rent a villa here for a trip, but he didn't expect that his whereabouts would be known to his wife for some reason.

While the two were having a tryst, the other party's wife broke in with a kitchen knife.

By the time the police arrived after receiving calls from surrounding passengers, the rented villa room had turned into a sea of ​​blood.

The wife kept stabbing her husband with a dagger-like kitchen knife. Blood splattered all over the room, which looked extremely horrific.

The wife who was closest to her husband was also covered in blood, so much so that the white raincoat she was wearing was dyed red.

So from then on, everyone called her "The Lady in Red".

"The woman in red!?"

Hearing Minegishi Tamami's words, Ran and Sonoko's bodies involuntarily trembled at the nicknames, obviously thinking of the figure they met in the forest before.

"What happens after this?" Xiaolan couldn't help but look at Summi Minegishi and asked, "Did the criminal catch the woman in red after this?"

"No."

Sumika Kawana shook his head and said: "After she chopped the criminal who arrived at the scene with the kitchen knife in her hand, she fled into the nearby forest and disappeared.

Even now they are on the run and there is no trace of the other party. "

When talking about this, Tang Ze observed the people around him and found that the condition of the other three was quite stable, but the Bogu Chang family's face was extremely pale, and cold sweat could not stop flowing from their foreheads.

Obviously, after mentioning the woman in red, he seemed to be more afraid than the other three.

"What happens after this?" Tang Ze continued to ask: "What happened next, otherwise you wouldn't be so scared."

"Um"

Renda Jinsuke nodded, his face full of regret: "Three years later, when a few of us came to this rental villa to play during the summer vacation of high school, another member Satoko saw the woman in red.

After that, we suggested that we all go to the forest to explore the situation together. During the search, only Satoko and us got separated in the forest.

Because it was already late at that time and the sky was starting to get dark, we quickly called the police and asked the local criminal investigation to search for Satoko's whereabouts.

But unfortunately there was still no result. "

"By the time we found her, it was already a week later."

Kawaname Sumika said in a low tone: "The last person who found Satoko was the muddy body that sank under the bottomless swamp.

And the reason why she was found was because the shoes were next to the swamp, and she was finally released.

In addition, the kitchen knife used in the murder case was also left at the murder scene.

So everyone thinks that maybe Satoko is her."

Sumika Kawana's tone was slightly trembling: "Maybe she was chased by the woman in red in the forest, and then she ran away in a panic, and finally fell into the swamp and died."

After saying this, the expressions of several people present were not very good, and the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.

"Then do you want Seriang to catch the woman in red?" Yuanzi looked at everyone and couldn't help but ask.

"Eh?"

Hearing Sonoko's words, Minegishi Tamami was stunned for a moment and then shook her head: "No, arresting the woman in red is criminal work, right? What we want to ask Sera to investigate is another matter.

After we graduated, we would actually get together every year on the day Satoko’s body was found.

But starting almost the year before last, strange things began to happen one after another. "

"Something weird?" Karasawa looked at Minegishi Tamami and said, "Can you tell me in detail?"

"It started with the windows being smashed or apples rolling down the room."

Summi Minegishi said: "After that, the hot water couldn't be used, and then when I checked the water heater, I found that the water tank was full of red rose petals.

Later, even the entrance door of the rental villa began to be splashed with red paint by unknown people, so the owner of the villa simply painted the door red. "

"No wonder we saw the door was red when we entered." Xiaolan suddenly said.

"And this time, you saw the trace of the "girl in red."" Sumika Kawana said.

"I think those people, including the woman in red, are playing pranks."

Renda Jinsuke spread his hands and looked at Sera Masumi and said: "And we just hope to find out the guy who is causing trouble behind the scenes, so we want to find Sera, who is good at solving various mysteries when he was in school, to come and take a look at the situation."

"I see." Sera Masumi nodded and said, "I already know the ins and outs of the matter. I just need to solve the mystery related to the woman in red, right?" Sera Masumi said with a smile.

"No, no, just hand the woman in red over to the criminal justice system."

"Then let's go to the forest to investigate the situation now!" Masumi Sera ignored Jinsuke Renda's words and immediately walked outside.

"I'll go take a look too!" Conan trotted after him.

"Conan, wait a minute!" Xiaolan shouted worriedly: "You can't just run away!"

"It's okay. Let them investigate as long as Serliang is taking care of them." Tangze looked at Xiaolan who was pouting and said with relief.

"Then I also set off to buy some things from a nearby store one kilometer away." Jinsuke Renda stood up and said, "I guess all the drinks and the like are almost finished."

"Yes, I'll leave it to you." Summi Minegishi nodded and said with a smile, "Then I'll be responsible for clearing the plates."

"Well, let's go with you." Xiaolan looked at Jinsuke Rentian and said, "I can also help you carry some things."

"No, no, it's my responsibility to go out to buy things and bring them back." Shinsuke Rentian refused with a smile.

"Mr. Bo Gu, you don't seem to look well." Tang Ze patted Bo Guchang's shoulder and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"Ah, it's nothing." The absent-minded Bogu Changjia was so excited when Tang Ze patted him that he stood up quickly: "Then I'm going to clean the bathroom and toilet."

As he said this, the Boguchang family left the room in a panic, regardless of the reactions of the people around them.

Tang Ze, on the other hand, looked at Bo Guchang's family with eyes filled with deep meaning.
