Chapter 49 It's Raining
Xiao Lan glared fiercely at Su Xingbo, then went to wash up.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they went downstairs to go to school.
Kogoro Mouri finally woke up, rubbed his eyes, and glanced at the clock on the wall.
"Oh, it's still early, let's go back to sleep." After saying that, she lay down again and continued sleeping.
As soon as they stepped outside, it started to rain, so they quickly ran back into the stairwell.
"You guys wait here, I'll go get the car." With that, he ran off.
"Be careful," Sonoko said worriedly.
By the time Su Xingbai reached the car, his upper body was almost completely soaked. He opened the trunk, took out his spare umbrella, and placed it on the passenger seat.
He then drove away from the parking lot and headed to the downstairs of the Mouri Detective Agency.
Soon, they arrived. Su Xingbai got out of the car and handed the umbrellas to the two men. After they got into the car, he also got in.
I sat in the car, turned on the windshield wipers, and took off my shirt.
"Ah! What are you doing? Why are you taking your clothes off all of a sudden?" Ran screamed and covered her eyes, while Sonoko chuckled beside her.
"My clothes are soaked, there's nothing I can do about it," Su Xingbai said helplessly.
"Well, you should at least have told me beforehand. You didn't even give me a heads-up," Xiaolan stammered.
"Okay, I'll let you know in advance next time I'm taking off my clothes."
Upon hearing this, he and Sonoko both burst into laughter.
Su Xingbo started the car and drove towards the school. All the way, Xiaolan blushed and didn't dare look in Su Xingbo's direction.
"Honestly, Ran is still so easily embarrassed," Sonoko teased with a smile.
Xiao Lan gave her a reproachful look.
Suddenly, the car braked sharply, and Xiaolan and Yuanzi almost hit their heads.
"What's wrong?" Xiaolan asked.
"It looks like there's been a traffic accident up ahead," Su Xingbo said, unbuckling his seatbelt and getting out of the car to check the situation.
Ran and Sonoko also got off the car with umbrellas.
A car and a motorcycle collided, and the motorcyclist was injured and fell to the ground.
"I'll go check on him." Su Xingbai walked towards the injured man.
Xiaolan quickly took a handkerchief out of her bag and handed it to him.
"Let's not worry about other people's business, we still need to get to school," Sonoko urged.
"But we can't just stand by and watch someone die," Xiaolan said.
At this time, traffic police and an ambulance arrived at the scene. Su Xingbai assisted the medical staff in lifting the injured person onto a stretcher and sending them to the hospital.
"Alright, let's hurry up and go." Su Xingbo got back into the car.
"I'm definitely going to be late today," Sonoko complained.
"It's alright, saving lives is the priority," Xiaolan said with a smile, her opinion of him growing even stronger.
The car got back on the road and headed towards the school.
At the winery site.
Gin and Vodka sat facing each other, with a picture of Su Xingbo prominently displayed on the table, along with all their records from childhood to adulthood.
"Brother, why are you suddenly investigating Caesar? He's a veteran in the organization," Vodka asked, puzzled.
"Heh." Gin chuckled faintly. "Do you remember his reaction when Sherry escaped from the organization last time?"
Vodka thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, his reaction at the time was very problematic, but didn't my brother say at that time that he didn't have time to commit the crime?"
"Yes, he definitely didn't have the time to commit the crime. He was busy picking up girls on the mountain at the time, and then he encountered a rainstorm and the crime. The murderer had cut down the suspension bridge, so he definitely didn't have the time to commit the crime."
"What about the eldest brother?"
"Not having the time to commit the crime doesn't mean he's innocent. The two he hired weren't on a mission at the time, and we haven't been able to find out where they went."
Gin wasn't actually sure if he was the one who did it, but his reaction at the time was really strange.
In the past, his personality dictated that he would either take direct action or remain indifferent, without offering much explanation.
Vodka asked, "Then, brother, should we send someone to follow Caesar?"
"No!" Gin sneered, "Those worthless scoundrels following him will only make him kill them all. It's completely unnecessary. The most important thing now is to capture Sherry and her sister. Then we'll know who's really in trouble."
"Understood, brother. I'll immediately instruct my men to intensify the search and try to capture the Shirley sisters as soon as possible!" With that, he left.
Gin picked up the photo and stared intently at the person in it.
He muttered, "I hope it has nothing to do with you, otherwise no matter who you are, I won't show any mercy."
Of course it has nothing to do with me. You know I couldn't go down the mountain at the time, and I was dealing with a murder case. I didn't have time for that.
As for those two idiots, Black One and Black Two, they must be resting in their villa with nothing to do.
He'll have to carry this burden forever.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier today, and Su Xingbo looked at the rain outside the window with a bit of a headache.
With such heavy rain, he would definitely take Xiaolan home first, and then take Yuanzi back to the villa on the mountain.
The rain was heavy and the roads were slippery. He was worried about Yuanzi walking the mountain path alone, so he sent a text message to Mingmei in advance, saying that he had something to do tonight and that she didn't need to wait for him for dinner.
And so, he fell fast asleep on the table again. Little did he know that Xiaolan often drifted off, secretly glancing at him from the side and behind.
An ordinary day passed quickly.
After school.
The rain did not decrease; on the contrary, it seemed to be getting heavier. Seeing this, he made a suggestion.
"Xiao Lan, it's raining so hard, it's not safe for you to go home alone. Let me drive you home first."
Sonoko chimed in, "Yes, yes, it won't take long. Let's get in the car."
After being persuaded by the two men, Xiaolan finally agreed to get on the bus.
After dropping Ran off at home, Sonoko, sitting in the passenger seat, asked, "Are you going home tonight?"
"With such heavy rain, I'm worried about you walking alone on the mountain path. We'll go back to the villa in the mountains tonight."
"Hehe, you're so kind. Let's go back then. My sister is resting at home today. I'll send her a text message now to tell her the good news and ask her to cook more dishes." Sonoko laughed happily.
Su Xingbo also said with a smile, "Silly girl."
More than an hour later.
The two of them struggled to walk the mountain path, and when they saw the suspension bridge, Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew, finally made it up. The rain is getting heavier and heavier. I'm going to take a good shower later."
"Okay, but how about we take a shower together later?" Su Xingbo said with a mischievous grin.
"Awooo!" Sonoko used her ultimate move, twisting and pinching his waist!
"You're always thinking about these trivial things. You're sleeping alone tonight, I want to sleep with my sister," Sonoko said irritably.
Upon hearing this, Su Xingbo shook his head repeatedly. "Are you kidding me? This isn't up to you. Just you wait and see!"
