Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled and waved her hand, feeling somewhat relieved as she watched Yukino walk towards the kitchen.

Although the shadow of the bandaged monster has always hung over everyone's heart, seeing that the girls led by Ayako started to cook normally, the others also started to do their own things one after another.

"Aunt Jing, where are you going?" As a child, Conan had no way to help for the time being, so he had to sit obediently on the sofa in the living room.

I wanted to talk to Shizuka Hiratsuka about the incident in the forest where Oota Masaru had intended to do something bad to Xiaolan, but I saw Shizuka Hiratsuka stand up from the sofa.

"Me? There's nothing for me to do in the house. I'll go outside and see what's going on. Maybe if I'm lucky enough I can run into that bastard directly." Shizuka Hiratsuka reached out and picked up an umbrella from the door, holding a lit cigarette in her mouth, and said with a smile.

"I also.."

"No, you stay in the villa honestly." The eager light in his eyes went out in an instant. Seeing that Shizuka Hiratsuka had no intention of taking him out, Conan had no choice but to continue sitting on the sofa and thinking about why the bandaged monster did all these things.

. . .

"Huh~ As expected, I didn't find anything?" Holding an umbrella in one hand and a flashlight in the other, Shizuka Hiratsuka strolled in the jungle.

Apart from seeing some messy footprints that might be where Conan mentioned they were gathered, she didn't find anything useful.

It's not that she hasn't tried to track the footprints, but Shizuka Hiratsuka is not a professional tracker after all. Apart from the obviously smaller shoe print of Conan that can be easily seen, Shizuka Hiratsuka is unable to do anything about the other footprints.

Walking alone in the dark forest, Shizuka Hiratsuka did not feel any fear. Rather, she was looking forward to meeting that damn bandage monster.

"It's been quite a while. We've almost circled the villa. Let's go back first... Okay?" The footsteps stopped slightly, and Shizuka Hiratsuka wrinkled her nose slightly.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to smell a hint of blood.

But when Hiratsuka Shizuka calmed down and carefully distinguished, the faint smell of blood disappeared again, making it impossible for Hiratsuka Shizuka to detect it. The only smell lingering at the tip of her nose was the smell of rain hitting the soil, turning over the soil and dead leaves.

"Are you a little startled?" Scratching her head curiously, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had failed in her exploration, slowly walked towards the main entrance of the villa.

"That fat guy, is he repairing the roof? It takes so many things to repair a roof." Glancing at Takahashi Ryoichi working on the roof in front of the main entrance, and curiously examining the large pile of tools wrapped in black cloth beside him, Shizuka Hiratsuka pushed the door open and walked back into the villa.

What Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't notice was that when she turned her back and left the forest, a playful gaze had been wandering around her.

. . .

"Oh, the food is ready? It looks good." Putting down the umbrella and flashlight in her hands, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the food that already filled the table and nodded with satisfaction.

"You're back, Sister Shizuka. Did you find anything?" Sonoko, who had heard Conan's retelling and had been waiting for Hiratsuka Shizuka to come back, came over excitedly.

"No, I didn't find any useful information. Maybe that guy hid quite far away." Shrugging helplessly, Shizuka Hiratsuka reached out and picked up a piece of fried chicken from the plate and put it into her mouth.

"Hmm, it tastes good and it's hot." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded happily and took a mouthful of steaming hot fried chicken. She felt that her body, which had been a little cold from wandering outside, had warmed up a lot.

"Aunt Jing, here's a hot towel for you."

"Oh, thank you, Xiaolan."

"Sister Jing, I heated up a small bottle of shochu for you. Drink some to warm yourself up." Yukino said softly, reaching out to help Shizuka Hiratsuka remove a few fallen leaves from her body.

"But today is a little different, so I'm only a little hot. Sister Jing, don't drink too much."

"Oh, that's thoughtful. I was just thinking of ordering some hot wine. Don't worry, you know how much I can drink." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded with a smile, and her heart was also warm.

It feels really good to be cared for by others.

"Everyone, come and have dinner." Seeing that the dishes were neatly arranged on the table, Ayako also called on everyone to prepare to eat.

"Hey, Takahashi, your roof hasn't been repaired yet? Come down quickly and eat." Hiroki Kakutani, holding a camera in his hand and wanting to record something, shouted to Ryoichi Takahashi on the roof.

"I'm ready, I'll be right down!"

"By the way, what about your female classmate? She's still staying in her room and not coming out. She's so timid..." Before she finished speaking, Shizuka Hiratsuka shrugged slightly.

"Chikako said she was feeling a little unwell and went back to her room to rest. She asked us not to call her." Ayako explained softly, looking at the second floor with some concern.

"Is that so? Then let's eat first." After hearing Ayako's explanation, Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded slightly.

She was already a little hungry.

"Takahashi, you should come down quickly too." Seeing that Shizuka Hiratsuka had already sat on the chair, picked up the chopsticks and was ready to start eating, Katsuya Ota urged Takahashi, who was still on the second floor, to come down quickly.

"Okay." Takahashi nodded with a smile. When he was about to turn around from the balcony on the second floor, his expression suddenly became terrified.

"Who! Who's there!"

"What's wrong?!" Takahashi's shout startled everyone on the first floor, and everyone quickly looked up at Takahashi.

"There seems to be someone at the window on the first floor." Looking back at everyone in horror, Takahashi shouted nervously.

"The window on the first floor?" Everyone subconsciously looked towards the window on the first floor. When everyone was curious, a figure quickly passed by.

Although the other party passed by the window very quickly, everyone could still see his appearance clearly.

It was the bandaged monster that many people saw and attacked Xiaolan.

And the most important thing is that everyone clearly saw the woman held in the arms of the bandaged monster. It was Chikako who had been upstairs and had not come down.

"Bang!" While everyone was still in shock, Shizuka Hiratsuka had already supported herself on the table and turned over and jumped over the table.

"Everyone stay in the house and don't go out!" After leaving these words quickly, Shizuka Hiratsuka rushed to the window, pushed it open and jumped out.

"You run pretty fast!" The bandaged man was no longer in her sight, but Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't stop and ran quickly in the direction the bandaged man had just gone.

"Huh?" It was only when Shizuka Hiratsuka ran into the forest that she felt something was wrong.

Although the bandaged man just now passed by the window very quickly, it was not too surprising, and he was holding a woman in his arms.

Even though I came out in a hurry wearing only slippers, it was impossible that I didn't see a single person.

In a hurry to get out, Shizuka Hiratsuka had to take out her mobile phone, turn on the flashlight function, and quickly scan the surroundings.

"No, there are leaves all over the ground and I can't see any footprints." Shizuka Hiratsuka bit her teeth with some self-blame. She couldn't believe that she had really lost the pervert whom she had always looked down upon.

"Ok?"

The steps forward paused slightly, and Shizuka Hiratsuka narrowed her eyes.

This faint smell that can irritate my nose is, yes, the smell of blood.

"Damn it, has he already started?!" Certain that her perception wasn't wrong this time, Hiratsuka Shizuka quickly ran towards the source of the smell.

But after running less than four or five steps, Shizuka Hiratsuka stood stiffly in place, her face full of uncontrollable anger.

"Gan!"

"Aunt Shizuka!" There were chaotic footsteps behind them. It was Conan and the others who came out a step later than Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Don't come over here." Without turning around, Shizuka Hiratsuka just shouted angrily.

"Uh!" The running footsteps stopped instantly. The instinct engraved in his bones made Conan stop.

But after he came to his senses, Conan's expression became nervous.

Something that could make Shizuka Hiratsuka so angry.

A bad thought flashed through his mind. Looking at the direction where Shizuka Hiratsuka was standing and staring, Conan licked his lips, took a deep breath, and wanted to shine the flashlight over there.

But before Conan took action, someone had already done so.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you moving?" Takahashi Ryoichi, who was a step slower due to his weight, ran to the front breathlessly. He looked at the people standing there in confusion, and shone the flashlight in front of Hiratsuka Shizuka in confusion.

"Hey, what is that?" In the light, Takahashi Ryoichi seemed to see something strange, and he couldn't help but take two steps forward.

"Ah!!" However, when he saw the thing clearly, he sat down on the ground with a look of horror on his face.

"Hu~" After letting out a long breath, Shizuka Hiratsuka twisted her neck.

"Okay, if you're timid, don't come over here. And you, give me your coat."

"That Miss Hiratsuka, what on earth..." He was a little stuck in his words. After seeing Takahashi Ryoichi's reaction, Hiroki Kadotani's uneasiness became more obvious.

"Your female classmate is dead." Shizuka Hiratsuka said in a suppressed voice, her eyes sweeping across a piece of calf and arm not far in front of her.

"And I, now, have to help her collect the body, understand?"

. . .

"What! Chikako!" Ayako pressed her right hand tightly on her mouth. She had been waiting nervously in the villa. She didn't expect that the news brought back by everyone was so cruel.

"Yes, and..." His expression was very unnatural. Thinking back to when he helped look for Chikako just now, Hiroki Kakutani couldn't help but want to close his eyes.

"Sister Chikako was dismembered."

"Conan!" Xiaolan pulled Conan over and just called out his name and didn't know what to say.

"Okay, let's not stay here anymore. Let's go sit in the living room." Waving her hand impatiently, Shizuka Hiratsuka lit a cigarette and put it in her mouth, which was rare without considering the occasion.

But no one present said anything.

Even Oota Masaru and the others who were not familiar with Hiratsuka Shizuka could see that Hiratsuka Shizuka was very angry.

The surging pressure seemed to be solidifying into something substantial.

"Ayako, where is your female classmate's room on the second floor? I want to go check it out!"

PS: This chapter feels a bit off, so I just combined it into a 4K chapter~

Chapter 195: There are more strange things

"Aunt Jing, we went upstairs together to check when you guys chased out earlier."

Taking Shizuka Hiratsuka to Chikako's room on the second floor, Xiaolan looked at the empty room and said softly.

"There's no sign of damage on the balcony window, and it's locked." Pointing to the only floor-to-ceiling window in the house, Yuanzi reached out and pushed it to make sure it was closed.

"In other words, didn't that bandaged weirdo kidnap the woman from the room?" With a cigarette in her mouth, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked around the room but didn't find anything useful.

"Could it be that the woman sneaked out by herself? She's really not afraid of death." Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her hair in annoyance, but she didn't show the anger in her heart.

To be honest, the dead person was someone Shizuka Hiratsuka was not very familiar with, but any normal person would find it unacceptable to see the murderer's brutal methods.

What's more, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't take the bandaged monster seriously at the beginning. In her opinion, as long as she stayed in the villa, there would be no problem with the people in the villa.

Then, reality slapped Shizuka Hiratsuka in the face.

Thinking of 'Chikako' who had been gathered by herself, wrapped in Hiroki Kadoya's jacket and placed in the small warehouse outside the villa, Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't help but grit her teeth.

When he challenged all the martial artists in Japan, he had also encountered unlimited fighting scenes. However, no matter how hard they fought, the worst that could happen was that they would lose an arm or half a leg. But this guy, did he think he was playing with Lego blocks?

And after she calmed down and thought about it, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt somewhat confused.

According to Shizuka Hiratsuka's own estimation, the process from when she saw the bandaged man and Chikako passing by the window to when she chased them out was no more than five seconds apart.

Putting aside why he hadn't been able to catch up with the person, how was that bandaged weirdo able to separate the body so much while he was chasing him?

The weapon in his hand was an axe, so how could he move so fast?

"Could it be that I really misjudged him? Is he a guy who is good at cold weapons?" After finding nothing in the room, Shizuka Hiratsuka led Xiaolan, Yukino and the others slowly down the stairs.

"Sister Jing." Yukino gently pulled Hiratsuka Shizuka's sleeve. She had noticed that Hiratsuka Shizuka was in a bad mood since she came back, and looked at her with some concern.

"How are you."

"Don't worry, it's nothing. I was just pissed off by that pervert." Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled and shook her head. She knew that she couldn't continue like this, otherwise these girls would become uneasy because of her.

"Okay, let's go downstairs and eat first. We've been so busy that we haven't even had dinner."

"Hey, Sister Jing, do you still have an appetite?" She blinked blankly. Although she had not seen Chikako's body with her own eyes, she knew from the expressions of Ota Katsu and the others that the scene must have been very exciting.

"You can't let yourself go hungry. All of you come down with me and eat something." After greeting Xiaolan and the others in the small building, Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced at the others who were sitting quietly on the sofa in the middle of the living room without saying a word, nodded, and then walked straight to the dining table.

"Aren't you guys going to eat something?" Shizuka Hiratsuka said in a flat voice after picking up the chopsticks and seeing everyone in the living room looking at her.

After looking at each other, Ayako and the others couldn't eat at this time.

"Aunt Jing, did you find anything upstairs?" Conan, who had just gone to inspect other parts of the villa with other people, trotted to the dining table and asked curiously.

"No, the room is very clean. There is nothing else there except some personal belongings of that woman." Shaking her head slightly, Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked at Conan who looked thoughtful.

"What's wrong, our little detective, did you find anything?"

"Ah, I don't know either~" Touching the back of his head, Conan nodded with a smile.

"But Sister Ayako and I found Sister Chikako's slippers at the back door of the villa. It seems that Sister Chikako must have left through the back door."

"So we met outside, huh? Does anyone know what she did outside?" Shizuka Hiratsuka asked Ayako who was lying on the sofa with an unhappy click of the tongue.

"Didn't she say she wasn't feeling well and didn't even come down for dinner?"
