Model worker and his little darling

"I'm sorry, she's already taken. Please don't disturb her. Also, it's dark and eerie outside. You seem to have some misunderstanding about romance. Besides, we encountered a bandaged person today. What if we run into her and she? Can you protect her?"

Ota Katsu frowned and glanced at Hirakiyo: "You two don't look like a couple to me."

"Xiaolan's boyfriend is naturally not me, but I know her boyfriend, Shinichi Kudo, and I naturally don't want anyone to ruin their relationship."

Xiaolan blushed and said shyly, "Pingqing-ge, don't talk nonsense. He's not my boyfriend."

Conan looked at Hirakiyo with his bright, sparkling eyes. Honestly, Hirakiyo actually helped him. He made up his mind; he would never doubt Hirakiyo again.

Ota Masaru continued to charm Ran: "Since he's your boyfriend, why didn't he come to the party with you? I think what's the point of having that heartless guy? I advise you to find another boyfriend."

After saying that, he tried to take Xiaolan's hand, but Xiaolan dodged away.

Thinking that there might be someone with bandages outside, she refused to leave no matter what.

Ota Katsu looked at Hirakiyo, thinking it was all because of this guy's loose tongue, and reached out to hit Hirakiyo.

Ping Qing smiled dismissively. He could take on ten of these pretty-but-nothing types.

He grabbed Ota Masaru's hand and kicked him in the back of the knee, causing Ota Masaru to kneel on the ground.

Pingqing leaned close to his ear and said in an extremely cold voice, "I advise you not to get any funny ideas, otherwise, I can't guarantee you'll be able to get back alive."

After saying that, he threw away Ota Katsu's hand.

Ota Katsu glared at Hirakiyo with hatred, then turned and went upstairs to the second floor.

Sonoko sidled up to Hirakiyo: "Hirakiyo-nii, you're so handsome. But do you have feelings for Ran? I've never seen you so protective of Shinichi before."

Pingqing patted Sonoko's head: "What are you thinking about all day? Also, when you're looking for a boyfriend, you need to be more discerning. Don't just look at his face, you also need to look at his inner qualities."

He targeted Ota Masaru simply because Ota was hostile towards him.

Sigh, it's all because he's too handsome, making other men feel threatened.

Conan chimed in, agreeing with Hirai: "Yeah, Sonoko-neechan, this Ota Masaru is no good. He even tried to lay a hand on Ran-neechan. I think he's just the kind of womanizer who plays around with women."

Ha, where did this stinky man come from, daring to steal Xiaolan from him?

Ran quickly pulled Conan away: "Conan, stop talking."

Sonoko hugged Ran with a look of frustration: "Ran, when will I meet my Prince Charming?"

Prince Charming? Makoto Kyogoku?

The rain was getting heavier, and Chikako Ikeda and Hiroki Kakutani, who had gone out, returned.

However, both of them looked terrified.

“We saw the bandaged monster, and he attacked us with a long axe.”

Ayako decided to call the police, but discovered that the phone line had been cut.

Ryoichi Takahashi shouted, "It must be him! It must have been that bandaged weirdo who cut it!"

After saying that, he ran towards the suspension bridge, and the others followed him out.

Pingqing couldn't bear to watch his pretentious performance.

Soon, the group that had rushed out rushed back.

Conan tugged at Hirakiyo: "Hirakiyo-nii, the suspension bridge has been cut down."

Oh dear, now the suspension bridge has collapsed.

Chikako Ikeda shouted angrily, "What bandaged monster? That's utter nonsense! Cutting the phone line and slashing the suspension bridge were all just to scare us. If there's nothing else, I'm going to rest now. Don't call me for dinner."

After saying that, he went upstairs to the second floor.

Pingqing watched her departing figure and tsk tsk, she must be about to die.

Soon, Ayako and Ran had prepared dinner.

Ryoichi Takahashi shouted from the second floor, "There seems to be someone near the window downstairs."

Ping Qing stared out the window. Here it comes, the high-energy scene is about to begin.

Everyone's gaze turned to the window, where they witnessed the most unforgettable moment of their lives.

The bandaged monster flew past the window, carrying Chikako Ikeda's head in its arms, a sinister grin on its bandaged face.

Everyone gasped in surprise. Pingqing blinked, realizing that once she was mentally prepared, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Seeing this, Conan took the lead and rushed out, followed by several big men.

Tsk, that's really reckless.

Sonoko looked at the composed Pingqing and said, "Pingqing-nii, why don't you go and take a look?"

"If I leave, who will protect you if the bandaged monster comes back?"

A few minutes later, Conan led the charge back.

"We found Chikako dismembered in the forest."

Ayako covered her face and cried, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault for planning this class reunion."

Just as the group was comforting Ayako, Hirakiyo walked up to Takahashi Ryoichi.

Pretending to lose her balance, she fell onto Ryoichi Takahashi, reaching directly into his clothes and pulling out the bandage.

Then she winked at Ryoichi Takahashi: "Ah—, why did you hide the bandage in your stomach?"

Upon hearing the sound, everyone turned around to look at Pingqing.

All that could be seen was that Takahashi Ryoichi's stomach was gone, and the bandages on his body had fallen to the ground, with some bloodstains on them.

Meanwhile, Ryoichi Takahashi's mind was in complete disarray. How had things come to this? When he came to his senses, he realized that everyone was staring at him.

Seeing Pingqing smiling broadly beside him, he realized that it was this person who had disrupted his plans. He grabbed a chair and rushed towards Pingqing.

Heiji kicked Takahashi Ryoichi away, sending him crashing heavily to the floor.

Hmph, serves you right for scaring me on the suspension bridge.

Then, with an innocent look, he pointed to the bandages on the ground: "This person seems to be the bandage weirdo you guys were talking about."

Conan immediately ran over to check the situation, and lo and behold, this person was beaten up pretty badly.

"Brother Pingqing, how did you realize something was wrong with him?"

Pingqing blinked. "Of course it's because I've read the script."

"Because I noticed that his stomach looked different on the two occasions he appeared, I guess he was too rushed and didn't pay attention to the details."

Conan nodded. "Is that so?"

Pingqing rubbed Conan's big head: "Alright, now that the culprit has been caught, everyone can get a good rest tonight and wait for the police to pick us up tomorrow."

"But we still don't know how he killed Ms. Chikako."

"Let the police investigate when they arrive tomorrow. I think it might be to avenge Atsuko, who died two years ago."

After saying that, Hirakiyo tied up Takahashi Ryoichi, not wanting to be attacked again in the middle of the night.

Conan nodded in agreement, also feeling that today's events were related to Atsuko. He looked up and found that most of the people in the room had already left.

"Hey, Brother Pingqing, Sister Xiaolan, where are you going?"

"Go to sleep. It's so late, and the murderer has been caught. What else is there to do?" Ping Qing looked confused. Rainy nights like this are perfect for sleeping. What else can you do but go to sleep?

Ran took Conan's hand and said, "Alright, Conan, it's time for us to go to sleep."

"Remember to close the doors and windows properly."

The next morning, the sky cleared, the rain stopped, and the phone could be made again.

Soon after, helicopters from the Metropolitan Police Department and the Suzuki family arrived.

Inspector Megure looked at the tightly bound murderer and patted Hirakiyo on the shoulder with a look of satisfaction: "Hirakiyo, thanks to you this time."

Uncle Mori carefully checked Ran and Conan, and breathed a sigh of relief after finding that they were alright.

"Yeah, thanks to Pingqing this time. I think you guys shouldn't hold any more parties at these mountain villas in the future."

Heiji graciously accepted their praise.
