Chapter 35 Heavy Rain
Boom ~

There was a flash of lightning in the sky.

In the living room of the villa, everyone gathered around the table and introduced themselves to each other.

Suzuki Ayako has four college classmates. In addition to Chikako who published the Blue Kingdom, there are Hiroki Kadotani who is in charge of photography, Ryoichi Takahashi who is in charge of props, and Masaru Ota who plays a major role in the photography club.

After chatting for a while, Suzuki Ayako seemed to mention Atsuko unintentionally, and Chikako suddenly slammed the table in anger.

They quarreled with each other for a few words, and Ota Masaru sarcastically said to Chikako, "When people become famous, their tone becomes different," which instantly cooled the atmosphere.

Suzuki Ayako stood up to ease the atmosphere. She originally wanted to bring up the topic of Atsuko and then directly persuade Chikako to surrender, but seeing this situation now, she could only find an opportunity to talk about it in private.

So she offered to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

The little fat boy Takahashi went to repair the broken roof outside.

Chikako went outside for a walk with a gloomy face, and Hiroki Kakutani followed her out of concern.

In just a few minutes, the living room became empty.

Su Beixun sat on the bench with nothing to do. He looked left and right, and finally stood up boredly: "Then I'll go back to my room to rest for a while. Call me if you need anything."

He reached the second floor following the creaking sound of the wooden stairs and went back to the room he had chosen.

No lights on.

Lying down on the soft big bed that was quite to his liking, Su Beixun stretched out and closed his eyes to rest.

This party was even more boring than he had imagined. If he hadn't been staying at home for too long and wanted to go out for a change of mood, he would have never wanted to stay any longer.

Soon.

Suddenly, a smell of damp earth came to my nose.

He opened his eyes and looked out the window at the forest.

Dense lines of water fell from the sky! The forest also looked hazy in the majestic water vapor.

Su Beixun walked to the window barefoot.

He pushed open the window frame!

A few strands of cool rain were blown onto his body by the wind, making him shiver.

But he was inexplicably happy about this. He leaned on the windowsill and stuck half of his body out of the window.

The heavy rain quickly gathered into a pool on the ground, which was then hit by the same kind of water, leaving ripples all over the ground.

Just as he was staring at the ground in a daze, a foot suddenly stepped over!

Su Beixun subconsciously shifted his gaze upwards.

It's Takahashi!
He was probably repairing the roof when he was caught off guard by the sudden rain and was now running to the other side of the villa in a panic.

As if sensing that he was being watched, Takahashi Ryoichi stopped and looked around.

So he and Su Beixun's eyes met easily.

Boom ~

Another loud thunder sounded.

The lightning illuminated the world, then quickly dimmed.

With the brief moment of light, Su Beixun saw Gao Qiao's frightened expression.

Takahashi, who also saw the other party clearly, stiffened his body, nodded at Su Beixun, and quickly ran out of his sight.

"interesting!"

Resting his elbows on the windowsill, Su Beixun propped up his chin.

Takahashi's clothes were soaked by the rain and stuck tightly to his body, revealing his true body shape!
Su Beixun saw this scene very clearly.

But he didn't care and continued to stare at the heavy rain in a daze, his mind wandering to who knows where.

However, he wanted to...

"Will you come and kill me? Takahashi Ryoichi!"

Boom ~

The deafening thunder!

In addition to the thunder, he heard footsteps behind him.

"Hey, weren't you afraid of getting wet in the rain when you came here?" asked the question in a child's tone!

Su Beixun turned around, looked at Conan who was behind him, and said with a smile: "Yes, but I really want to get wet now."

He leaned against the windowsill, his back still covered in heavy rain.

Conan's expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but he still spoke in a childish voice and asked tentatively: "Brother Su Bei, why did you call me Kudo Shinichi before? We are obviously not even the same age!"

It's not that he hadn't thought about the possibility of his identity being exposed, but he couldn't accept that the person who knew about this was Su Beixun!

Because they are not from the same side at all, the other party cannot help him keep secrets like the Doctor did!
If this matter were to be publicized...

Su Beixun leaned sideways to reach out to catch the rain outside, sighed, and said nonchalantly: "Do you think you are hiding well? Kudo classmate suddenly disappeared, and then there was a child who looked strangely like Maori classmate next to him, and there was also the sleepy Kogoro who inexplicably turned from a confused detective into a famous detective, and fell asleep while reasoning."

"As long as you are bold, it's easy to associate the two together!"

Conan danced with joy, racking his brains to make excuses: "It's natural for me and Shinichi to be like that, after all, we are relatives! As for the uncle... after all, he has been a detective for some time, so it's possible that he suddenly became smart!"

Su Beixun didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

Conan's movements became smaller and smaller, and his voice became lower and lower. Finally, he stood there motionless.

There was no other way. He could no longer deceive himself. Without a doubt, his identity was exposed! Exposed in front of the person he suspected and feared the most!

How to do?
What should he do now?
a long time……

Conan gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Can you keep it a secret for me? Don't tell others that I am Kudo Shinichi..."

what happened?

What on earth is he doing?!

How could he beg a villain whom he suspected was a serious murderer?

This is ridiculous!!!
but……

If his identity is revealed...

Xiaolan will be silenced by that organization because of his involvement!

Conan grabbed his palm with his nails, and the sharp pain maintained his last bit of sanity.

He must protect Xiaolan!

So he lowered his head, his voice trembling: "Please... If my identity is exposed, Xiaolan, Xiaolan will be in danger!"

The room was silent except for the rustling sound of rain hitting the forest.

Su Beixun didn't say anything.

He looked at Conan's blurry figure in the darkness, and the corners of his mouth widened.

Yes, he is laughing.

Silent laughter!

Laugh wildly!

He thought it was all so interesting!

Su Beixun covered his cheeks with his hands and completely forgot about the agreement with Vermouth!

He was too lazy to care about anything at this moment, and just laughed heartily: "Well! Kudo Shinichi, let's make a bet!"

He left the windowsill, walked to Conan, squatted down and looked at his head: "No one will help a worthless person. If you want to get something from me, you must pay for me!"

He smiled softly: "I can keep a secret for you, but the price is that you must step onto the stage I designate for you, perform to the best of your ability, and present a grand opera for me!"

What does it mean?
Conan looked up.

He frowned, stared at Su Beixun's expectant and joyful pupils, and said in a hoarse voice: "What do you want to say?"

"There is a Minji Junior High School in Asahikawa City, Hokkaido. There has always been a mysterious legend circulating in it that makes everyone shudder."

Su Beixun smiled and said softly, "Some people say that it's all caused by ghosts, and some people say that there is a murderer hiding in the school... And you, as the Sherlock Holmes of the new century in Japan, will come here to solve the unjust case and reveal the truth of the incident!"

Conan looked at his face, which was laughing more and more wantonly, until his eyes were almost invisible, and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean..."

Su Beixun touched his head and said, "As long as you can investigate everything that happened in this school in the past, I will keep it a secret for you!"
