Chapter 430 Birthday Party
They were Uncle Mouri, Xiaolan and others, as well as the duo of Sawawa and Haibara Ai, plus Sonoko, a total of six people.

"We are finally here!" Uncle Maori exclaimed, and then asked: "By the way, where is the villa?"

They did not go directly to the villa, but got off not far from the villa.

The bus driver was in no mood to take them to their doorsteps.

"Let me see." Xiaolan took out a map, looked at it, then raised her head and pointed to a narrow path ahead: "It's here."

"Okay, let's go!" Uncle Maori raised his hand and said excitedly, "For the beauties at the birthday party!"

"For the handsome guys!" Sonoko also raised her arms and echoed excitedly.

"Dad and Sonoko are really energetic..." Xiaolan felt a little embarrassed and showed a helpless smile.

Uncle Maori and Sonoko walked towards the path, one in front and one behind, and Xiaolan hurriedly followed.

A few children fell behind.

Ai Huihara looked at the narrow path in front of her and sighed, "This villa is really remote."

"It's normal that the villa is remote." Ze Yu said casually, "In this case, if a crime occurs, the police will not be able to rescue in time."

"What a strange idea." Conan couldn't help but complain: "How could there be so many cases? This is just an ordinary birthday party, don't think too much about it."

"Heh." Ze Yu chuckled and glanced at Conan speechlessly.

As the culprit who has caused so many cases, can you have some self-awareness?

Ze Yu was too lazy to pay attention to this guy.

"So..." Huiyuan Ai followed Uncle Maori's steps and said silently: "Cherish life and stay away from the villa."

.........

Two hours later...

In a villa in the forest.

"Haha... burp!" Uncle Maori, whose face was red from drinking beer, couldn't help but burp. He said with a smell of alcohol, "I never thought that I could sit here and drink and chat with the young students of Dongdu University. It's really refreshing!"

"Besides, you are all handsome men and beautiful women. It's really worth the trip!" Uncle Maori exclaimed as he looked at the college students in front of him.

Of course, there was some exaggeration in Uncle Maori's words. There were a total of seven college students gathering here. Although most of them were handsome men and beautiful women, there were still a few who looked rather ordinary.

There was even a fat guy who sneaked in.

As soon as Ze Yu saw him, he remembered Takahashi who was wielding an axe and disguised as a bandage monster at the villa last time.

"Mr. Maori is indeed a famous detective." A handsome guy holding a cigarette between his fingers looked at Uncle Maori and laughed and said nonsense: "He knows how to use words to achieve the effect of controlling people's hearts."

Hearing this, Uncle Maori smiled proudly.

Although even this confused detective himself doesn't know it, he has this ability.

"Are you sure you're not talking about yourself?" The short-haired beauty sitting next to her said quietly, "Playboy, Sawai-san."

She is 'Hayasaka Tomoko' and also the vice president of the 'Mystery Research Society'.

As for the handsome guy who spoke earlier, he is the president, and the other students are all members.

"President, I heard that not long ago, you made a first-year girl cry." A member at the side interrupted.

"Hey, we came here today to celebrate Mami's birthday. Why are you picking on me?" The handsome president, who was called 'Sawai-san', smiled awkwardly. The vice president, Tomoko, who was sitting next to him, said calmly, "A few days ago, Mami's novel won the rookie award. We can celebrate for her at the birthday party."

Ze Yu counted on his fingers quietly and whispered, "A class reunion was held in a remote villa. Among these classmates, there was a fat man and a novelist, and the novelist's novels have achieved good success..."

"Conan, do you feel a little familiar?"

"Yeah, it does look a little familiar..." Conan said speechlessly, "But it can't be such a coincidence, right?"

"I don't think senior Mami is the type of person who would plagiarize other people's work." Conan defended senior Mami.

Obviously, Conan, like Ze Yu, remembered the incident in the villa last time.

The deceased was a novelist who plagiarized other people's works, causing the original author to commit suicide.

Finally, the thief was killed by a fat man with an axe.

If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that the last villa party in the mountain resort and this birthday party in the villa do have many similarities.

But Conan feels that senior Mami would not be as bad as Chikako and plagiarize other people's works.

Besides, even if there are indeed many similarities between these two gatherings, it is impossible that the cases are the same, right?

How could this be possible?
Conan doesn't believe it anyway.

"I didn't say that Senior Mami plagiarized someone else's work." Ze Yu spread his hands and smiled, "It's obviously you who are too sensitive."

"Is it my fault?" Conan's mouth twitched.

The smile on Ze Yu's face was very gentle, and he did not continue to argue with Conan.

He didn't say a word.

There is one thing in common between these two gatherings, that is...

Two of his classmates, who were novelists, were victims of the case.

The conversation at the table continued.

"By the way, why isn't Mami's lemon pie ready yet?" President Sawai suddenly said.

An hour ago, senior Mami came here empty-handed because she forgot to bring the lemon pie she had made at home.

She felt a little embarrassed, but there happened to be some food in the refrigerator in the villa's kitchen.

So, Senior Mami went to the kitchen to make lemon pie, and after it was done, she brought it out for everyone to taste.

But now it has been an hour. According to Senior Mami's speed, she should have finished it long ago. Why hasn't she come out of the kitchen yet?
Just when President Sawai was confused, Sonoko came out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "The one who made the lemon pie this time is not senior Mami, but Xiaolan!"

After she finished speaking, Senior Mami pushed the somewhat shy Xiaolan's shoulders and walked out of the kitchen.

Xiaolan held a plate of lemon pie in her hand and placed it on the table. However, the appearance of this plate of lemon pie was really bad...

Maybe it was overbaked, the lemon pie made by Xiaolan looked a little dark and didn’t seem very delicious.

Everyone looked at the plate of lemon pie with shocked expressions.

Such an ugly lemon pie, like a dark dish, is it really edible?
"Sorry, I'm not very good at making lemon pie..." Xiaolan said a little embarrassedly.
