Chapter 255 Kyogoku Makoto

Chapter 256 Kyogoku Shin
"What? You said you encountered a murder again?" In the afternoon, Conan and Ran and Sonoko returned to the hotel. After a while, I saw Conan's puzzled look. Before I could ask, Conan told me what they had just experienced. I couldn't help but complain. "How powerful is your death god? How come you always encounter murders everywhere?"

"Please, this has nothing to do with me, okay?" Conan rubbed his temple with difficulty. "I didn't intervene in this incident at all. I just heard from Mr. Daoxie that all the people who died in this place in the past year were young girls with brown hair. So I am a little worried about Sonoko."

"Ah? Oh." I thought about the plot and it seemed to be true. Then it seemed that Miss Sonoko was held hostage by the Taoist Association.

"Oh, so... you don't seem to be worried about Sonoko?" Conan asked when he saw that I was behaving out of character.

"Worried? As long as Miss Sonoko is with Xiaolan and me, tell me who can get close to her at will?" I gave Conan a look that said, "What do you think?"

"That's true..." Conan thought about it, then narrowed his eyes and smiled helplessly. A champion of a women's karate tournament, a professional killer who has been immersed in assassination for ten years. If an ordinary criminal wants to find someone around these two people to kill, then he is blinding his 24K krypton gold dog eyes.

"So, don't worry. Sonoko and Xiaolan have already returned to their room. If you are worried, we can just leave here this afternoon and go back to Tokyo."

"Hey, hey, you just said it so nicely, why are you backing down right now?" Conan looked at me with contempt.

"That's not the case. I just want to go back and see Ai."

"Habara? What happened to her?" Conan was stunned. "Is she sick?"

"No, it's just that when I was talking to her on the phone just now, I felt that her mental state was not good, so I wanted to go back and check on her."

"Well, she's still infatuated." Conan twitched his lips. "But I guess you can't persuade Sonoko now, because she just agreed to have dinner with Mr. Daoxie. And they're going to the restaurant where a tea-haired girl died a year ago."

"I... well, I lose." I really admire the fact that Sonoko is still in the mood to eat with a strange man at this time. Forget it, I won't say it anymore. I'm just crying. "Okay, for Miss Sonoko's safety, just tell me what you talked about with the Taoist Association today."

Conan returned to the house and began to talk to me about everything they had said to Mr. Daoxie in the Sea House today. The weather outside gradually became gloomy as time passed. Not long after, the drizzle began to hit the window.

"In other words, although Miss Sonoko was afraid, she cheered up again after Mr. Daoxie said, "I will protect you?" As dinner was approaching, I looked at the drizzle outside the window and analyzed today's events.

"Yeah, that's probably what you said." Conan nodded. "But you seem to be dissatisfied with Mr. Daoxie. It seems that your words are directed at him."

"Only a girl like Sonoko with small breasts and no brains can trust a stranger so easily." I frowned and shook my head. Recalling the next thing that came to my mind. "Okay, leave this to me. I want to finish the things here quickly and go back to see Ai. I don't have time to waste here."

"Wait, you mean... there's something wrong with Mr. Daoxie?" Conan seemed to understand why I was targeting Daoxie everywhere.

"Well, although it was faint, when I saw him, I felt a chill between his brows. And this chill was directed directly at Sonoko." Chill? How could I see it when it was so noisy on the beach? This was just to give Conan a bad impression of the Taoist Association.

"No way? Although it's strange, I don't think Mr. Daoxie is that kind of person." Conan scratched his head.

"If you want to explain, I'll explain it. You'll understand as you listen." Seeing Conan's confusion, I sighed and slowly came. "Tell me, how many times did you mention the camera during your conversation?"

"Camera?" Conan was stunned. "About three or four times? What's wrong?"

“If I gave you my phone, what would be your first reaction?”

"Open your phone and take a look at the screen desktop inside."

"and then?"

"And then? Then I gave it back to you."

"Yeah, then would you take my phone and ask me if there are any interesting photos in it? And then flip through them?"

"How is that possible? That's too rude..." He stopped talking. "Yes, Mr. Daoxie asked twice to see the contents of the photos in the camera."

"Gossip is not a disease, and curiosity is human nature. However, a man who wants to impress a strange woman he likes could not suppress his curiosity and do something so rude?"

"Hmm..." Conan held up his chin and thought deeply.

"Okay, you don't have to worry too much. I will find a way to make him reveal his true colors today." I patted Conan's shoulder. "Even if he doesn't reveal his true colors, I will create trouble to make him reveal his true colors."

"Hey hey..." Conan was speechless.

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

"Really... Why did it start raining so suddenly? It was fine this morning." Before dinner, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan, I stood at the entrance waiting for the Daoxie car. Looking at the gloomy weather, Sonoko seemed a little anxious. "I really hope Mr. Daoxie can come soon."

"Don't be so anxious. The male protagonist always appears later." Xiaolan comforted.

"Don't embarrass me, I'll be embarrassed." Sonoko said with a little girl's attitude. It seems that Sonoko is still looking forward to this dinner.

Hula.

As he was talking, the door to the entrance was opened, and a tall dark figure appeared. He was holding a rather large oil umbrella and placed it at the feet of Sonoko. It was Kyogoku Makoto whom we met today. Judging from his appearance, he should have finished his part-time job at the Sea House today and returned to the hotel.

"Huh? Why did he put an umbrella here?" Yuanzi was puzzled.

"Maybe they gave it to us because they thought we would need it?" Xiaolan thought about it.

"Hehe, I think maybe this older brother also likes Sister Sonoko." Conan joked from the side.

"How, how is it possible... that gloomy guy."

"Haha, what a coincidence, I just fell in love with you." I stood beside Conan and shook my head helplessly. Although my words were not heard by anyone.

"Oh, no, I forgot my wallet in the room." As she was speaking, Sonoko felt her pockets and realized that she didn't have her wallet. Although it was Daoxie's treat, she still had to keep her wallet with her. "I'll go get my wallet. I'll be right back."

"Oh, okay." Xiaolan replied. Watching Yuanzi run into the hotel, Xiaolan held her chin and thought. "That man with glasses, I still feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

"I did ask." I chimed in. "The dark-skinned older brother's name is Kyogoku Makoto."

"Kyogoku Makoto?" Xiaolan seemed to recall something after hearing what I said. "Ah, Masaka, he is the karate master of Beido High School. Kyogoku Makoto, who is known as the nobleman of kicking?"

"Bingo." I shrugged. "Sister Xiaolan, I need to go to the bathroom. Please wait for me when Sister Sonoko comes back." Without giving Xiaolan a chance to speak, I rushed into the hotel alone. Because I remembered that Sonoko was about to... No, she should have met with the Taoist Association.

Passing by the main hall, I picked up a teacup from the table and rushed directly to the room we lived in on the second floor. When I ran to the corridor on the second floor, I saw the prisoner covering Yuanzi's mouth and pulling her into the room.

"Who is it!" I yelled, and the prisoner let go immediately. Yuanzi stumbled forward. Seeing that he had lost, the prisoner rushed to finish him off. The dagger in his hand flashed with a cold light towards Yuanzi's back. Seeing this, I threw the teacup in my hand without even thinking. There was a crisp sound, and the teacup hit the prisoner's wrist squarely. The dagger fell to the ground with a clang. He didn't pick up the dagger because it had fallen into a lighted place. He had no choice but to run into the room. When I ran to the door, the prisoner had already run to the balcony, turned over and jumped down.

"Yuan, Yuanzi!" Hearing the commotion upstairs, Xiaolan quickly ran up. She saw Yuanzi kneeling in front of the door, panting heavily, looking very scared, and there was a dagger at her feet. "Yuanzi! What happened? Are you okay?"

"No, it's okay." Sonoko came back to her senses when Xiaolan called her, her face pale as she said, "Just now, a suspicious man attacked me and escaped out of the window. It was so scary!" Having just walked through the gates of hell, Sonoko burst into tears after realizing that she was safe.

"But why are you being targeted?" Xiaolan asked hurriedly.

"How would I know?" Sonoko said innocently. "I just opened the door and saw a dark figure rummaging through our luggage. Before I could even scream, he caught me. He must be an underwear thief, so bad."

"Underwear thieves don't really want to kill people." I stood aside and looked at the dagger on the ground. "That person must have been prepared to kill you at any time. That's why he attacked you."

"Why, why is this happening? What did I do wrong?" Sonoko said in a crying voice.

"So, what does that person look like?" Xiaolan asked.

"I don't know..." Sonoko sobbed. "I didn't have the energy to look at him. The room was so dark. I was so scared that my legs went weak."

"But how do you know it's a man?"

"Because I was so scared, I tried hard to get rid of him during the struggle, so I bit his arm. There were a lot of hairs on his arm. He must be a man!" "Well... then you are amazing too." Xiaolan smiled bitterly.

Click.

As they were talking, the lights in the room were turned on. Looking towards the door, they saw Daoxie standing in front of everyone, soaking wet.

"What's wrong? Why don't you turn on the lights in your room?"

"Oh? Mr. Daoxie, you came at a great time." I said, my eyes kept turning to him.

"Uh? Oh, my car stalled on the road, so I ran here as fast as I could."

"Run? Then you have good physical strength?" I continued to ask.

"Little brother, what do you mean?" Daoxie asked puzzled.

"He ran all the way without even taking a breath. I think Brother Daoxie must be an athlete."

"Hahaha, I have better physical strength because I swim frequently." Daoxie continued to defend himself.

"Hey, Dokkyo-nii." Conan, who was standing by, also understood my intention and said, "Can you please take off your shirt? I want to see your arms."

"Don't be like this, Conan." Xiaolan understood what Conan meant and hurriedly stopped him from speaking.

"I don't know what you are going to do, but just take it off, right?" As he said that, Daoxie unbuttoned his clothes, revealing two arms without any scars.

"No?" Conan frowned and then looked at me. I stared at the Taoist Association with a triumphant smile on my face.

"Guests, what happened here?" Hearing the noise, the inn's young boss Kyogoku Shinya rushed over. And on his arm, there happened to be a circle of bandages.

"Excuse me, how did you get the injury on your arm?" Xiaolan approached Kyogoku Makoto with a wary look.

"Are you asking this?" Kyogoku Makoto lowered his head and looked at his wound. "I was bitten by a drunk customer about a week ago."

"When was that? Please be more specific." Xiaolan pressed on.

"Ran, I don't think it's him." Sonoko said, "Because the person who attacked me had a lot of hair on his arms."

"Someone attacked you?" Kyogoku Makoto frowned.

"Yes, someone came in through the window and messed up our luggage. Look, the knife on the ground was left by him!" Xiaolan was very dissatisfied with the security of this hotel. "Luckily Xiaoxun ran up, otherwise Yuanzi might have met with an accident!"

"Well... I think it was probably the work of a thief." Kyogoku Makoto walked to the balcony and surveyed the scene. "After all, such incidents have happened before."

"No, he's not a thief." I said from the side. "Kyogoku brother, the one who attacked Sonoko sister is him! Mikyou Masahiko!"

"Huh?" Xiaolan and Sonoko were surprised at the same time.

"Little, little brother, what are you talking about?" Daoxie's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly explained, "Although I don't know why you don't like me, how could I be the murderer who attacked Miss Sonoko?"

"Because the teacup I threw just now hit your wrist, that's why your wrist is bruised now, isn't it?" I pointed at the bruise on Daoxie's wrist and laughed. "Being hit by porcelain must be painful, right? Not to mention that the force was enough to make you drop the dagger!"

"Little brother, stop joking." Daoxie lowered his head and looked at his wrist. "I accidentally pinched it while driving today. How could it be hit by a teacup?"

"Really? Then can you explain the traces of rain on your body?" I pressed on. "Even if your car was turned off, every car should have a spare umbrella in the trunk, so it is unreasonable for your shirt to be soaked. Besides, you said you ran. So there shouldn't be any water stains on your back, so how can you explain your appearance of being soaked like a drowned chicken?"

"I..."

"It should be because you got wet when you jumped from the balcony?" I sneered. "There's still mud on your trouser legs, and I'm sure there's also mud on your shoes. So, if you compare it with the footprints downstairs now, I'm sure you'll have the answer!"

"Little brother, you'd better stop talking nonsense, otherwise I will be angry." Daoxie's face had become a little gloomy.

"Haha, then I'll give you one last blow." I shook my head. "Do you dare to lift up your left trouser leg so that everyone can see if there are any teeth marks left by Sonoko-san?"

"Xiao, Xiaoxun, you mean..." Sonoko seemed to understand something.

"That's right, Sister Yuanzi, the place you bit was not the arm, but the calf that is almost as thick as the arm." I explained. "Because when Mr. Daoxie came in, I saw a faint red on his calf trouser leg. And after he jumped off the balcony and came back here, his trouser leg was soaked, but his socks were still dry. I don't believe that his shoes can be so waterproof! Obviously, he has changed them!"

"Shut up! You little brat!" After hearing what I said, Daoxie's expression suddenly became ferocious. At the same time, he took a step forward and picked up the dagger that had just fallen on the ground, which none of us dared to touch.

"Mr. Daoxie, is it really you?" Yuanzi looked incredulous.

"That's right! It's me!" Daoxie shouted madly. "It's because your hair color is exactly the same as that stinky woman who dumped me cruelly, so, a noisy woman like you, I... Wow!!!" Daoxie flew out before he finished speaking. And the one who shot was Kyogoku Makoto who had been accumulating strength in a corner of the room for a long time. "I don't care what reason you give. Since you have admitted it, don't even think about walking out of here!" Without hesitation, Kyogoku Makoto jumped up and kicked Daoxie's head hard. Daoxie, who had been confused for a long time, fainted completely after this fatal blow. "Although I don't know how you sneaked in, it's not your turn to act wild in my territory! What's more, the target of the harm is this lady!" Kyogoku Makoto took off his glasses. Revealing his original appearance. The sharp eyes made Sonoko's cheeks slightly red.

"Eh? Me?" Sonoko was surprised. "But, I don't know you."

"You may not know me, but I have seen you before," Kyogoku said calmly. "It was at the karate competition. I will never forget the way you cheered for your friend."

"Eh? This..." Yuanzi didn't expect that there would be such a scene.

"I didn't expect you to complain about my hotel." Kyogoku picked up the dagger that fell on the ground and threw it aside. "Anyway, the criminal has been arrested, and I believe you can have fun. I'll call the police. By the way, don't wear clothes that attract men's attention in the future." Kyogoku glanced at the clothes scattered in the room. "Of course, if you regard my words as a joke from one of the men who expressed their affection for you, it doesn't matter."

"Eh?!" In an instant, Sonoko's cheeks turned red. This should be the first time for Sonoko to make such an explicit confession.

"No, no way? Are you really interested in Sonoko?" Conan was surprised, while Xiaolan poked her best friend's arm with her elbow with a congratulatory look.

"Boy, did you cause the bruise on his wrist?" Kyogoku Makoto walked to my side, squatted down and looked at me. Obviously, the bruise on Daoxie's wrist caught his attention.

"Well... guess?" I asked jokingly.

"Oh?" Kyogoku Makoto was slightly stunned. "Interesting boy, come to me again if you have a chance. Maybe I can teach you some more powerful techniques."

"Hmph, it's still unclear who will teach whom." A sneer appeared at the corner of my mouth.

"Hahahaha, what a brat, I'll definitely make you my friend." Kyogoku Makoto laughed. "You guys should have a good rest today, I'll hand this guy over to the police." After saying that, Kyogoku Makoto carried the still unconscious Dokyou and walked out of the room.

"Xiaoxun...what were you talking to Mr. Kyogoku just now? I didn't understand a word you said." Xiaolan walked up to me and asked me.

"Hehe, it's nothing. This is a secret between the two of us." I gave Xiaolan a big smile.

"Eh? Really, you are such a good kid that you can get along with anyone." Xiaolan chuckled and ran to find Sonoko who was still blushing.

"Kaoru, do you know him? The one called Kyogoku?" Conan also asked me.

"We just met each other." I shrugged. "But he could see some clues about me."

"Hey..." Conan was surprised. "He really is a karate master. But isn't it okay that he knows some things about you?"

"Yeah, it's okay. I believe he is not the suspicious type, maybe he is a good friend." I concluded. "Kyogoku Makoto? Haha, he is really an extraordinary man."

　I am sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. My studies are too busy and I have to go to bed at dawn every day. I have no time to write. In addition, I was not in good health some time ago and stayed in the hospital for half a month. I will take advantage of today's rest to write an article quickly.

　　In fact, this part of the plot is mainly for Kyogoku Makoto to appear, but I flipped back and found that the plot is too damn long. It was already dawn when I finished writing it, so I just skipped it. There is no point in writing it later. As for the future, it depends on time. I will probably be busy for about half a year. This is still conservative. Here I remind all readers to take care of their health. Health is the capital of revolution.
