Chapter 775: A heavy punch for Kyogoku Makoto
When the bell rang, Karasawa was standing in the hotel lobby a little distance away from the Takuya Hotel.
The other party used an excuse to inquire about the situation where they prevented a murder last night, and then left their sight briefly by saying that they would go back to the hotel to change clothes and pick them up after dinner.
Tangze knew that it didn't matter whether he lived near the Takuya Hotel before, but he would definitely stay near them in the future, so he took the time to find the door.
If Dao Xie Masahiko wanted to find a few of them, he would have to sift through the vast crowds of tourists for a long time to find their characteristics. However, it was much easier for him to find Dao Xie Masahiko. He followed the fog and quickly found Dao Xie Masahiko. Location.
Now he wouldn't attack Dao Xie Masahiko directly, but before arresting him and sending him to the police station, Karasawa wouldn't mind letting him feel the pain and panic of committing a serious crime.
He is probably an antisocial personality who lacks empathy and will not feel guilty for killing someone at all. Then it is better to use another method to let the other person fully feel the pain of the victim in this short period of time. .
If you don’t feel guilty, will you be afraid?
Taking out his cell phone and glancing at the unknown caller, Tang Ze quickly realized who was calling.
Kyogoku contacted him faster than he expected...
"Let me pay more attention to Suzuki Sonoko's safety. What do you mean she may need help at any time?" At the other end of the hotel, Kyogoku was hiding in the lounge behind the front desk, paying attention to the two girls playing in the front hall. While asking in a low voice, "Why did you write me this note?"
As if you knew his identity and trusted his power...
However, I You really need to have the confidence and ability.
Due to the related matters he heard after coming into contact with Karasawa yesterday, and Suzuki Sonoko's closeness to him, Kyogoku's first impression of him was actually not good.
Although carefully observing the discussion between Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan, this guy may not be a bad person, but how can I put it, he is a person with a criminal record after all, and it is difficult to avoid preconceptions that maybe there is something wrong with him. Doubts about some issues.
So when he first saw the note, he subconsciously thought that this person had discovered his secret and was trying to blackmail or threaten something.
And these emotions, after listening to the discussion and speculation of the two female high school students, after a brief period of disbelief, quickly turned into an unavoidable sigh and apology.
That's why he made this call so quickly, trying to determine the true meaning of the note from his own mouth.
"Actually, I discovered that you have been following us yesterday." Tang Ze raised his eyebrows and said frankly, "It should be that after we entered the hotel and checked in, you have been quietly following us. Right? In the situation like yesterday, if you hadn’t been following me, you probably wouldn’t have found out about Mr. Adachi and me.”
“Uh…” Although the intention is not bad, it does sound a bit like a perverted Kyogoku. He panicked, "I, it's not because of anything strange..."
"I understand, I understand. You probably just have a good impression of Yuanzi. When you saw her yelling about wanting to have an affair, you wanted to protect her." Tang Ze teased, "I know you don't have any ill intentions, otherwise I won't write you such a note. What I want to say is that Tao Xie Masahiko makes me feel very uncomfortable. You may not know that we encountered some bad things last night. I want to ask you something..."

"Ah, it's raining"
Standing under the eaves of the Tile House Hotel, Suzuki Sonoko. He stretched out his hand to feel the rain outside, and then quickly retracted his hand.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier. This kind of sudden rain is not strange at the seaside, but it still has a great impact on their travel.
"Mr. Dao Xie, if you don't hurry up, you won't be late for dinner..."
"Don't worry, heroes who make a grand appearance are always a little late." Mao Lilan smiled reassuringly. , "You think so, Conan?"
Conan, who was still thinking about the details of the serial murders he had discovered in the afternoon, was suddenly stopped. He was stunned for a moment before he realized the reason why Mao Lilan called him. , responded bravely: "Ah? Hmm!"
Is it possible? He, does he like to be a hero? It's okay...
"I don't care what you said. I'm a little embarrassed." Suzuki Sonoko shyly brushed the hair from her ears, then looked at the dark sky outside, but couldn't help but worry, "The same goes for Karasawa, I don't know if I can catch up..."
< br>
"Do you need an umbrella?"
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the sliding door of the hotel behind her suddenly opened.
Kyogoku, holding two umbrellas in his hands, asked with a serious face.
"Uh, thank you." Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly took the umbrella from the other person's hand and muttered in a low voice, "I didn't expect that a hotel with this price would have such attentive service... …”
Kyogoku pushed up his glasses after handing out the umbrella. He didn’t say anything, but he didn’t even close the door. He just stood there blankly behind them, like a conscientious bodyguard.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, who had not expected this, couldn't help but look at each other.
How should I put it, it’s a bit strange, but it’s also a bit strange to specifically ask people what they are doing standing at the door.
The atmosphere was silent and awkward for a while.
"Well, well, I'll go back and get something..." Suzuki Sonoko, who couldn't stand it anymore, whispered to Mao Lilan, turned around, and ran as if running away into the hotel.
Oops, what’s going on with this person? I feel like my presence has become inexplicably stronger since the afternoon.
When they were playing downstairs, they stood blankly on the edge. When they went back to the room to pack and change clothes, they appeared in the corridor as soon as they opened the door.
He didn't take the initiative to speak. If he asked him a question, he would only give a short answer, like a ghost behind his back, which made her a little creepy...
However, as soon as Suzuki took two steps out, Suzuki Yuanzi was surprised to find that this guy followed her without hesitation and was also preparing to go upstairs!
Not only Suzuki Sonoko's expression was a little dull, but even Mao Lilan and Conan looked at it in a daze.
Although I had vaguely noticed before that this silent little brother should be quite good, he seems to be very concerned about Yuanzi, and he should have a slight affection, but he exposed his tracking target so unabashedly...< br>
Should I praise him for following him calmly?
"Mr. Kyogoku, right?" Suzuki Sonoko, who couldn't hold himself any longer, finally couldn't help but ask, "Can I ask why you have been following us?"
Don't say a word , couldn't come up with a few words when asked, and looked gloomy and not easy to talk to. It was quite scary to be followed by such a guy.
"This is what the boy named Karasawa requested." Kyogoku Ma stood straight and said in a solemn and even somewhat proud tone, "He said that yesterday, you prevented a murder. The murderer attempted to commit suicide, so please pay attention to the safety of you two."
No matter what the reason for Karasawa's request was, Kyogoku, who finally had a reason to follow her, was still in a good mood. of.
Yesterday's decision made on a whim has brought about such good development. It is true that good people are rewarded!
...After all, even if Tangze teased him and said that he had his purpose written on his face, it was still difficult for him to express his thoughts directly.
"...Then why did you just follow me?" Suzuki Sonoko looked at his puffed-up chest, twitched the corners of her mouth, and pointed at Mao Lilan, who was still standing at the door, "Aren't they just as dangerous?" And the most dangerous thing is obviously Karasawa himself who watched the most carefully and even directly stopped the murderer. Why are you protecting them...
Kyogoku is really a bit different from Maori Ran's picture. He glanced at the familiar face, thought for a moment, and moved out Tang Ze: "Tang Zejun said that this young lady has good physical skills and is a little safer than you."
"I..." Unable to refute, Suzuki Sonoko choked, looked at the stairs in front of her, and couldn't help but protest, "But this is in your hotel, is it dangerous enough to require your personal protection?"
"Our hotel is very safe, but it is the peak tourist season and the flow of people is very chaotic." Kyogoku pinched the piece of paper in his hand and replied plausibly, "Our hotel only has two floors. It’s easy for an attacker to break in. You didn’t even lock the door when you came down.”
Suzuki Sonoko, who is used to staying in high-end hotels, thought about this problem that she had never considered before, and became even more speechless. .
Why does it make sense...
Forget it, it should be OK when Dao Xie Masahiko arrives in a while. He can't really go to dinner with them with a straight face, can he? That's too exaggerated.
"Follow if you like..." Suzuki Sonoko shook her head and walked upstairs with heavy steps.
Kyogoku didn't really care about her attitude. He pushed up his glasses and chased after her. Conan and Mao Lilan were stunned and couldn't recover.
"...Do you feel that the two of them..." Conan pointed to the stairs where the two disappeared, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
It feels like we must have known each other before, or perhaps had some contact with him?
"It's a good match?" Mao Lilan nodded her cheek and answered.
"...Huh?" Conan, who didn't understand how to get around this bend, was stunned.
"Isn't it? Sonoko may not have noticed it herself, but her attitude towards him is quite natural."
"Is it possible? Isn't she always like this?"
"Yes, it's just because she's like this normally, so it's natural. Sometimes she just talks a little too deliberately when she meets a handsome guy, so... forget it, you and I lack cells in this area. What are you talking about?"
"Hey..."
"Yeah-"
While the atmosphere here was getting better, a high-decibel scream from a girl suddenly came from upstairs.
Hearing the familiar voice of Suzuki Sonoko, the relaxed expressions on the two people's faces dropped and they rushed upstairs.
As Conan ran, he was still shocked.
No way, is Kyogoku really right? People can be attacked in hotels?
Hiss, so it wasn’t actually this person who found a reason to follow him openly, but Tang Ze discovered something?
The two ran up to the second floor and quickly rushed around the corner of the corridor. They saw Suzuki Sonoko sitting on the floor of the corridor in a panic, tremblingly pointing to her dark room, unable to say anything. talk.
"What's wrong Yuanzi! Are you okay-" Mao Lilan and Conan, who rushed over to support her, followed her direction and looked towards her room, and then they both choked.
In the room, Suzuki Sonoko's bag containing luggage fell to the floor, and her personal belongings were scattered all over the floor.
Because the lights were not turned on, it was difficult to see clearly what was going on in the room, but one could clearly distinguish the tall figure standing closer to the door, grabbing another shadow directly and throwing it towards the ground.
The tatami dampened the sound of the human body landing, but the three people squatting in front of the door clearly felt the unbearable vibration of the floor under their feet.
After landing, the figure struggled painfully twice, but before giving any reaction, he was caught again and kicked.
It was not clear where the kick landed, but from the sound of taking a breath and not even making a muffled groan, it was definitely not a light kick.
"That, that..." Conan stretched out his hand tremblingly towards the door.
Stop fighting, stop fighting, will this really not kill anyone...
Perhaps sensing that there were other people at the door, the attacker paused, changed his attack angle, and punched the opponent in the torso.
The next second, the black figure flew out directly along Suzuki Sonoko's open terrace window.
"Hiss..." Conan took a small breath and rushed to the balcony, holding the handle and looking down.
The black shadow fell into the thick canopy of trees outside the hotel. After a while of rustling, it shakily disappeared.
Conan instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, okay, although the damage seemed heavy, it still seemed to be alive.
With a "pop" sound, Mao Lilan stood up and walked in and turned on the main light in the room.
The warm yellow light shone down, and the three people stared blankly at Kyogoku Makoto standing in the middle of the room, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Kyogoku's face still had the same expressionless face, but looking at the way he slowly clenched and unclenched his fists, moving his wrists and knuckles, Conan actually saw that there was something unfinished about him. .
"You, you just were..." Mao Lilan, who finally remembered why she came up, turned to ask Suzuki Sonoko.
"I, when I came up and opened the door, I saw someone looking through my luggage." A frightened Suzuki Sonoko pressed her chest and replied blankly, "He saw the door open and came up to catch me, and then... …”
Then Kyogoku, who followed, pounced on the man and knocked the man back into the room. Without saying a word, he punched the man, causing the man to let out a painful groan.
It wasn't until this moment that she remembered to scream. For a while, she couldn't tell whether she was frightened by the strange intruder or whether she was really frightened by Kyogoku.
This is really, really...
Conan and Mao Lilan then looked at Kyogoku Makoto together.
Kyogoku saw their gazes, thought for a moment, and took the initiative: "It is our duty to protect our guests. But I'm sorry, I didn't catch the person and let him run away."
After hearing this, I didn't know what to do. Conan, who shouldn't have nodded: "..."
His faint and apologetic expression, if Conan hadn't watched the whole process, he would have almost believed it.
Are you sure it ran away and wasn't just knocked out by you?
