Conan's Ancient Beautiful Gate Criminal

Afternoon, cloudy.

Shizuo Gumeimen drove to the mountain area where the villa was located, and had to walk for the rest of the way.

However, the distance was not too far. Ten minutes after getting off the bus, I found the villa Suzuki Ayako mentioned along the mountain road.

"The air is really good." Shizuo Gumeimen took a deep breath, which was much better than that in Mihua Town, but it was a little boring today.

Stepping on the trembling wooden suspension bridge, there is a deep valley at the foot, surrounded by dense forests, and occasionally leaves rustle in the breeze.

After stopping for a while and looking around, Shizuo Gumeimen came to the door of the villa and rang the doorbell.

Hearing a rush of footsteps inside, the door was suddenly opened, revealing Suzuki Ayako's slightly hasty figure and a face full of anticipation.

Suzuki Ayako had a smile on her face and looked in a great mood, as if she wanted to say something, but after a short pause, she only said, "Come in, please."

"Excuse me." Gu Meimen Shizuo also responded briefly, carrying a travel bag with him, and entered the villa.

Suzuki Ayako bent down and handed him the slippers, "It's been a hard journey, I'll take you to the room to rest for a while."

Gu Meimen Shizuo glanced at the pink apron on her body, "It's okay, just do your work first, haven't the others arrived yet?"

"They will be a little later, and they should come one after another before dinner."

"That's it." Shizuo Gumeimen nodded, and after all, she was no match for Suzuki Ayako's initiative and enthusiasm, and was led by the latter to the second floor to put down her luggage.

"The toilet and bathroom are here, and clean towels, bath towels and other supplies have been prepared, and the hot water has been boiled, so you can take a hot bath at any time.

If Shizuo-san didn't bring a change of clothes, I have prepared a set roughly according to your figure and put it in the closet..."

Suzuki Ayako prepared very thoughtfully, which made Shizuo Gumeimon a little ashamed.

"If you need anything else, I live in the opposite room, you can find me at any time..."

When she said this, a blush flashed across Suzuki Ayako's face, which made Shizuo Gumeimen a little distracted for a moment.

He didn't speak, and Suzuki Ayako didn't feel left out, and talked about the nearby scenery.

"There are probably two or three villas outside the suspension bridge. On our side, there is only this villa up to the back mountain, so it is very quiet.

As for Maple Leaf, although you can see it around the villa, the back mountain is more beautiful. In addition, the mountain spring mentioned earlier is also on the back mountain. When does Shizuo-san want to see it? "

Gu Meimen Shizuo looked at her and said, "I can do it."

"Then...now?" Suzuki Ayako tilted her head slightly, with a smile on her face.

"it is good."

Gu Meimen Shizuo agreed, and the two tidied up a little before going downstairs.

When passing by the kitchen, Gumi Shizuo smelled a sweet smell, Suzuki Ayako explained: "The cookies are being baked in the oven, and we should be able to eat them when we come back from the back mountain."

Suzuki Ayako took off her apron, and brushed her hair shyly in front of the dressing mirror at the door, "Sorry, I was busy in the kitchen before, so I look a bit sloppy."

"No, it's fine like this."

Shizuo Kumimon's words brought a smile to Ayako Suzuki's face.

After leaving the villa, the two walked side by side towards the back mountain. Shizuo Gumeimen breathed the air outside the house and felt a little more at ease.

"Ayako-san doesn't need to do this..."

"what?"

"Doing so much for me."

Hearing this, Suzuki Ayako brushed the hair around her ears, lowered her head slightly, and said softly, "Shizuo-san, did my actions make you feel uncomfortable?"

Gu Meimen Shizuo rubbed the back of her neck, "The main reason is that I'm not used to being taken care of so meticulously. I always feel...well, how should I put it..."

"I probably understand." Suzuki Ayako put her hands behind her back, watching the corners of her skirt undulate as she walked, "Actually, I really like doing these things, such as cooking, making snacks, doing housework and so on.

These things may be troublesome to others, but I am really happy and enjoy it, and I am not forced into it, so Shizuo-san does not need to feel uncomfortable. "

"Is that so..." Gu Meimen Shizuo murmured, and then asked about the things that had been circling in his mind before, "Did Ayako-san know me before?"

"Why do you think of asking this?" Suzuki Ayako blinked, a little puzzled.

"Maybe I'm being passionate, but I always feel that Ayako-san seems to be treating me..."

"Like love at first sight?" Suzuki Ayako gently stroked her slightly hot cheek.

"...Probably has a similar meaning, after all, we haven't known each other for long."

Gu Meimen Shizuo paused, inexplicably remembering the matter of Kyogoku Makoto Sonoko. There is really not much reason to talk about things like feelings, and it doesn't seem to make much sense to ask them.

"This question is a bit abrupt, and it's okay if you don't want to answer it."

"It's ok~ Shizuo-san wants to know anything." Suzuki Ayako smiled and said, "But it may disappoint Shizuo-san. I am also looking forward to such a thing as love at first sight, but unfortunately, it is the first time I see Shizuo-san. The timing was a little bit off."

"Although I'm sorry, I really don't remember meeting Ayako-san before." Shizuo Gumeimen walked a little slower.

Suzuki Ayako smiled when she heard this, "There's no need to be sorry, because I only met Shizuo-san unilaterally."

"Can you tell me?"

"Well... let's start from the beginning." Suzuki Ayako pondered for a moment, "The first time I met Shizuo-san was probably in elementary school.

The two nursery rhymes published by Shizuo-san at that time were very popular, and basically every child had heard them, and I was no exception, but I didn't know that the creators of those two songs were Shizuo-san.

Thinking about it now, Shizuo-san was probably only seven years old back then, right? It's astounding that something like that can be done. "

Suzuki Ayako showed nostalgia and admiration on her face, which made Shizuo Gumeimen a little ashamed.

Suzuki Ayako continued: "The second time was at a certain banquet. It should be in the second year of junior high school. I don't know if Shizuo-san still remembers it. You also went there at the banquet and rescued a person who was killed by others at the banquet. A little girl bullied by boys."

Shizuo Gumeimen recalled it carefully, "It seems that there is such a thing, but I should just put the table on those guys because they were too noisy."

Suzuki Ayako didn't point out his stubbornness, she smiled without saying a word.

"You don't mean to say that the little girl is you?" Gu Meimen Shizuo asked.

Suzuki Ayako shook her head when she heard the words, and said with some regret: "I hope so, then there will be a special bond with Shizuo-san, but how can there be such a coincidence?"
