Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

"Can't make a call?"

After hearing Ayako's words, everyone in the villa was moved. If the villa's landline phone was not working at this time, their mobile phones, which had basically no signal since they entered the mountains, would be completely useless.

"Is there a problem with the phone?" Walking to Ayako's side, Shizuka Hiratsuka took the receiver and pressed the phone twice.

"That's strange. I specially asked someone to check the phone for today's party, and it was still working this morning." Shaking her head slightly, Ayako felt a bad feeling in her heart.

Everything that happened today was too coincidental, so coincidental that it made people suspicious.

"It's him! It must be that man, that strange man who made the phone unusable! It must be him who cut it off!" Before Shizuka Hiratsuka and Ayako could finish their words, Takahashi Ryoichi, who was standing behind the crowd, shouted with a terrified expression.

"Calm down, it's just..." His eyebrows frowned. The situation was already tense. What Shizuka Hiratsuka hated most was people shouting in such situations.

Not only will it not help, it will also disrupt other people's normal mood.

However, Takahashi Ryoichi, who was already frightened, did not give Hiratsuka Shizuka any chance to continue speaking.

After shouting and attracting everyone's attention, the fat guy suddenly turned around and ran out of the villa without looking back.

In such a dangerous situation, others could not bear to see him run outside alone. At least Oota Masaru, Kakutani Hiroki and Conan subconsciously chased after him.

"What is this, a classic Japanese drama run?" Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed weakly, pressing her forehead with a headache.

Sure enough, the kind of bad teammates that I used to complain about when reading comics and novels are even more tiring when I meet them in real life.

"I'm sorry, Miss Hiratsuka, Takahashi was just too nervous. Although he is big in size, he has always been a little courageous." Shaking her head slightly, seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka's dissatisfaction, Ayako had to take the initiative to defend her classmate.

After reading the information from the Suzuki Group's investigation, Ayako was very clear about how strong Shizuka Hiratsuka's fighting ability was.

This is also why Ayako was just a little nervous when she found herself and others in danger, but she did not panic at all.

With Shizuka Hiratsuka here, if the other party is just a pervert who likes to chop people with an axe and is not a martial artist, it will not be so easy for the other party to succeed.

Well, I just need to take care of the garden and try to stay as close to Shizuka Hiratsuka as possible.

"It's okay. After all, strictly speaking, this is how a normal person behaves when faced with an emergency. But I haven't encountered this kind of behavior for a long time." Shizuka Hiratsuka felt tired when she thought that the people around her were either too calm or accustomed to the occurrence of events, or even keen on the occurrence of events.

"How about we go down the mountain while there's still some light? Although it's raining outside and our walking speed might be slower, this place is not too far from the parking lot at the foot of the mountain. It will take at most two hours to get there. As long as we have a flashlight, it shouldn't be difficult." Looking at the sky outside the window, Shizuka Hiratsuka suggested a method.

"As for your safety on the road, you can rest assured. There will be no problem with me watching over you." Nodding confidently, Shizuka Hiratsuka really didn't take the guy who attacked Xiaolan seriously.

"This is not impossible." They looked at each other. Although it was dangerous to walk in the mountains at night in the rain, it was not safe to stay in the villa and be on guard against the strange man who was nowhere to be found.

Everyone present except Chikako had enough confidence in Hiratsuka Shizuka's skills. Even Chikako, who had doubts in her heart, could not offer any useful suggestions.

"We can't go down." However, before everyone made a decision, Conan and the others, who had chased Takahashi Ryoichi back from outside, walked back to the house with gloomy faces.

"When we got out, we discovered the suspension bridge had been cut off and we couldn't get to the other side of the valley."

"Eh?"

. . .

"It was indeed cut by humans, and the cut marks are still very fresh, it must have been cut just now." The rain was not that heavy, and Shizuka Hiratsuka was too lazy to open an umbrella.

Half squatting on the ground, Shizuka Hiratsuka only took a glance at the marks on the suspension bridge and was able to determine the general information.

"It seems that guy is really planning to cause trouble here." Standing up and twisting his neck, Shizuka Hiratsuka sneered.

This kind of psychopath who has never dared to confront others is the person Shizuka Hiratsuka despises the most.

"It's not like I can't get through." Looking towards the cliff across the valley, Hiratsuka Shizuka roughly assessed the distance and the climbable path on the cliff.

"Throw me a rope, wrap it around the tree trunk, and I'll swing over and slowly climb up. That would be pretty convenient, but in this situation, I don't really need to run out to report anything." Blinking helplessly, Hiratsuka Shizuka knew her biggest role right now was staying here to protect Yukino, Ran, and the others.

Although the bandaged man was not a threat to him, he was still a deterrent to other people in the villa because he was holding a weapon.

Don’t even count on Xiaolan, whose combat effectiveness will drop by almost 90% when facing this strange thing.

"Anyway, let's go back to the villa first and check the door locks and windows around. Lock all the locks that can be locked. If the other party breaks the locks violently, I will react immediately." Shizuka Hiratsuka threw away the suspension bridge rope that she picked up at random and clapped her hands and said to everyone.

"Okay, I understand, Miss Hiratsuka." The others who didn't know Hiratsuka Shizuka very well were a little slow to act, but Ayako, Sonoko and Ran had already taken action happily.

"Sister Xiaolan, are you feeling better?" Unable to find any useful information for the time being, Conan still followed Xiaolan worriedly.

Looking at Xiaolan who was checking the doors and windows with Sonoko skillfully, Conan asked curiously.

"Well, although I was a little panicked at first, it's okay now~" Xiaolan nodded with a smile, and couldn't help but glance at Shizuka Hiratsuka who was sitting on the sofa and talking on the phone.

"Although Aunt Jing usually seems carefree, she is really reassuring when it comes to critical moments. It feels like with her by my side, all dangers are far away."

"That's right, Sister Jing is super safe!~"

"Is that so?" Conan nodded in understanding. He had nothing to refute about Hiratsuka Shizuka's statement.

After all, when he was a child as Kudo Shinichi, he had already seen how reassuring Hiratsuka Shizuka was when she was serious.

only.

"But the more this happens, the harder it will be for you, Aunt Jing, to find a boyfriend." Shaking his head helplessly, Conan sighed as he looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka who was talking on the phone on the sofa.

"Huh?" Conan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, feeling something was wrong.

"Why is Aunt Jing on the phone?!"

Chapter 193: Wouldn't it be better if he was discovered by Sister Jing?

"Eh, so it's supposed to be a relaxing outing, but Jing darling, you guys are stuck in a villa in the mountains."

His tone fluctuated a little, and Fujiko leaned on the pillow in the hotel, shaking her head with amusement.

"What? Are you so happy to hear that I'm in trouble? That was a cruel attacker. Don't you worry about my safety at all?" Her tone was a little dissatisfied. She was obviously complaining to Fujiko, but why was she so happy?

"I'm worried~ I'm really worried that Jing baby, you might get too angry and beat that guy so hard that he can't even wait until the ambulance reaches the mountain~" Holding the biscuit sticks she bought in her hand, Fujiko shook her fingers slightly.

Don't be ridiculous. If the other party had a gun, Fujiko might have worried about Shizuka Hiratsuka. But for an ordinary pervert who only used an axe to be able to rely on Shizuka Hiratsuka's body, he was considered to be gifted.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you." He shook his head with amusement. Although Shizuka Hiratsuka was very confident in his own strength, after seeing Fujiko's performance, he no longer had the idea of ​​showing off.

"How was your trip in Chiba? Did you visit all the attractions I recommended to you?"

"Oh, those tourist spots, I'm not in such a hurry, I'm just taking my time to see them, but I've already been to some places, they're really nice." With her eyes slightly shifted, Fujiko looked at her box filled with various gifts that she had bought based on what she had heard from Shizuka Hiratsuka and the investigative information she had purchased through the underground dark web, and nodded slightly.

"Well, I have other things to do for now, so you should have a good rest. Remember to take pictures at the scenic spots and leave them at my house as souvenirs."

"Okay~" After hanging up the phone with a smile, Fujiko stretched and got up from the bed.

"Sure enough, no matter how you look at it, sending someone to deliver all these things is still a bit too much. I'd better just pick out a few nice gifts myself and bring them over."

"Let's go meet Jingbao's parents. Haha, I wonder what Jingbao's expression will be when she finds out~"

. . .

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me so strangely?" After hanging up the phone and about to put away her phone, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked curiously at Conan who ran in front of her and stared at her with a strange look on his face. No, he was staring at her phone.

"Auntie Jing, can you make calls with your cell phone?" Conan blinked cutely and stared closely at the cell phone in Shizuka Hiratsuka's hand.

"Ah, isn't a cell phone used for making calls? What are you talking about, little brat?" Shizuka Hiratsuka rubbed Conan's head in amusement and didn't react for a while.

"Sister Jing, Conan means, does your cell phone have signal in the mountains?" He naturally reached out his hand to Shizuka Hiratsuka, took Shizuka Hiratsuka's new cell phone while she was in a daze, and turned on the screen. Yukino looked at the full signal bar on it and nodded.

"It looks like there's a signal."

"Hey, Sister Jing, does your cell phone have signal in the mountains? What brand is it?" After hearing what Yukino and Conan said, Sonoko, who was standing by the window, walked over quickly and poked her head out curiously.

"What? Isn't this the same brand as my phone? Why doesn't my phone have any signal?" He took out his own phone in disbelief, but looking at the empty signal bar on it, Yuanzi scratched his head.

"This was given to me by a friend. It seems to have undergone some modifications. I don't know many details, but the signal seems to have been strengthened a lot." Nodding with a smile, Shizuka Hiratsuka took her phone back from Yukino's hand.

She remembered that this phone was from when she was in Yueying Island. Because she had been in the mountains for too long, her phone had no signal and she couldn't get in touch with anyone. It was very inconvenient for Fujiko to hold it, so she bought a special phone in a normal phone case on the dark web in Japan.

Of the many useful functions that Fujiko mentioned, Shizuka Hiratsuka only remembered two.

Signal strength.

Phone hardness.

"Then can't we just use Aunt Jing's cell phone to call the police?" Maybe because of her experience, when Xiaolan saw Hiratsuka Jing's cell phone with a signal, the first thing she thought of was to call the police.

"That's right. Then you come, Xiaolan. You are more familiar with this process." After throwing the phone to Xiaolan, Shizuka Hiratsuka leaned on the sofa with her legs crossed.

"I feel really safe with Sister Jing here." Seeing Hiratsuka Jing's relaxed expression, Sonoko also sat down on the sofa with a smile.

"Then you are not allowed to do anything stupid. Stay in the villa obediently." Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled and poked Sonoko's smooth forehead, her eyes slightly moving upwards.

"Sonoko still really likes wearing headbands."

"Hehe, I still remember when I was a kid, I hated my hair dangling in front of my eyes and was a nuisance when I was playing, so you, Sister Jing, were the first to give me a headband." Nodding with a smile, Yuanzi reached out and touched the headband on her head.

"As a result, I stayed in this area for several years, and gradually I got used to it and couldn't pick it off."

"Well, when it comes to hair, of course you should do it the way you feel comfortable." Nodding in agreement, Shizuka Hiratsuka is also a representative of the casual type.

"I usually just let my hair down, but if I'm going to do any strenuous exercise, I'll tie it up."

"Yukino, what's wrong with you? You haven't said anything. Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes shifted slightly to the side and looked at Yukino, who was just sitting next to her and didn't say much.

"No, Sister Jing, I'm just thinking about where the bandaged man is now." Shaking her head slightly, Yukino's tone was as calm as ever.

"First of all, we believe what Miss Suzuki said. In this valley, apart from this villa, there are only other houses across the mountain. On a rainy night like this, walking on the mountain road is also somewhat dangerous."

"What's more, judging from the fact that they cut the suspension bridge on our side, they don't seem to want to leave immediately." With a slight movement of her eyes, Yukino looked through the glass of the living room to the darkened and rainy outside.

"I'm curious about who would be hiding there watching us right now."

"This is indeed a problem, but if we lock the doors and windows, it shouldn't be a big deal." Blinking slightly, Sonoko looked at the window that she and Xiaolan had just checked and said uncertainly.

"Suzuki-san, do you really think that a window made of wood and glass can stop an intruder with an axe in his hand?"

"Why should we block him? Wouldn't it be better if we just let him make some noise and then Sister Jing would find him?"

"..."

Chapter 194 One hundred and ninety-one!

Looking at Sonoko who looked as if it was her due, Yukino couldn't find any reason to argue for a moment.

Although Yuanzi said it too casually, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to be the same truth.

If the other party really wants to invade the villa forcefully, then the first person to rush up to fight will definitely be Shizuka Hiratsuka.

And if Shizuka Hiratsuka and that bandaged man meet.

"Yeah," Xueno nodded slightly.

It seems there is nothing to worry about.

"Aunt Jing." Just as Yukino was thinking about the fate of the bandaged man, Xiaolan, who was responsible for doing her job, came over with a mobile phone in her hand.

"I'm done with the call. What did you say?" Shizuka Hiratsuka asked casually as she took the phone from Xiaolan's hand.

"Although the police officer has acknowledged the information, it's too late now and our location is too remote. Even sending a helicopter over wouldn't be convenient. They said that if it gets any later, the weather might turn from light rain to a thunderstorm, making it inconvenient for them to approach."

"Tsk, so that's how it happens. As expected, every time I call the police, the result is never smooth." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded slightly. When she saw the sky outside, she had already guessed the result.

Of course, it sounds a bit helpless, but after all, no one has died in the villa. Even if there is a death, the police may not be dispatched immediately.

"It seems we have to rely on ourselves tonight."

"What are you talking about? It's so lively." Just as they were talking, Ayako and the others who had been checking the safety of the villa in batches came back. Seeing the good atmosphere in the living room, Ayako blinked curiously.

"Sister, we have already called the police. Sister Jing's cell phone has a signal." Waving at Ayako, Sonoko was the first to tell the news.

"Hey, Ms. Hiratsuka, is there a signal on your phone? That's great."

"Don't be so happy too early. The police can't come today. They have to wait until tomorrow morning. So we still have to spend tonight on our own."

"Is that so?" She supported her chin with some disappointment, but after all, she was the eldest daughter of a large conglomerate, and faced with this predicament, Ayako did not show any impatience.

"Then let's prepare dinner. After all, we can't go without eating."

"I'll help." After hearing Ayako's words, Xiaolan also stood up, rolled up her sleeves and smiled.

"That's too troublesome~"

"Yukino, you should go too. What's the point of just sitting here?" Shizuka Hiratsuka said with a smile, reaching out to touch Yukino's arm.

"Sister Jing, is there anything you want to eat?" Hiratsuka Jing asked. Yukino had no intention of refusing. She put the booklet she was carrying on the coffee table, and Yukino stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

"Just make something simple. I'm not picky."
