Takahashi Ryoka knelt halfway on the ground, his hands kept fumbled on the ground, and soon grabbed a dead branch.

He picked up the sharp branch, his eyes fiercely, and locked on the girl with long hair with tears in the corners of his eyes.

He did have no grudges with Ran Maori, but unfortunately, when he changed his clothes today, the other party accidentally entered his room and saw his real figure.

——He is actually far from as fat as he looks, and he doesn’t have any beer belly.

And in Takahashi Ryoichi's murder plan, once this point is exposed, his carefully designed trap will likely be discovered.

In order not to expose herself... I can only silence her!

Ran Maori was already very scared by the bandage's look. At this moment, she was even more scared when she saw the other party bringing up her weapon. She hugged Suzuki Sonoko and her legs became weak.

Conan quickly flashed in front of them and raised his wrist.

Ran Maori didn't know that his watch was attacking, so he only saw Conan reaching the attack range of the bandage man. This action scared her soul out of the sky, and her desire to protect her surged.

Ryoichi Takahashi was about to stab him, but suddenly saw Ran Mori closing his eyes, shouting angrily, raising his legs and kicking him.

The petite girl has no attack power at all - so what Takahashi Ryoichi originally thought.

But just as he wanted to grab Ran Mori's ankle and throw the person to the ground, something similar to the sixth sense made him give up this idea and turn his back sideways without any hesitation.

boom--

The girl's heels brushed through his black robe and tidied them into the tree next to her. With a click, the tree that could not be held by anyone was kicked out of a deep pit.

A gust of mountain wind blew, and Takahashi Ryoichi looked at the tree breaking from the middle with a blank face, slowly tilting to the side: "..."

After Ran Mouri kicked this kick, he finally couldn't hold on. He sat down on the ground in fear, thinking desperately, and it was over.

However, after waiting for a while, the bandage continued to attack.

Ran Maori mustered up his courage to look up and saw the bandage throw away the branches, turn around and run away, quickly escaping into the darkness ahead.

"...Eh?" Ran Maori didn't know what happened. She looked at Suzuki Yuanko, and Suzuki Yuanko also looked at her. Both of them had the honor of surviving the disaster.

At this time, Conan had already shouted "Stop!" and quickly chased after him.

"Conan! Wait!" Ran Mori shouted, of course he didn't stop.

Worried that the child was in danger, she forced herself to stand up and chased Conan and ran over.

Conan had developed motor nerves, but after all, he was so tall that he could not escape the frightened Ryoichi Takahashi. He could only watch the other party escape to the direction of the villa, and the distance between the two parties continued to widen.

With the occasional lightning, Conan gritted his teeth and chased the prisoner, but when he passed by a clump of lush weeds, he tripped something unexpectedly and fell into the dead leaf soil with a thump.

Conan got up in pain, straightened his glasses, turned around and looked at the grass behind him.

As soon as a lightning flashed across the sky, the flash of lightning illuminated a figure among the grass. The man lay motionless on the ground, as quiet as if he was dead.

Ran Mouri who was chasing him did not happen to see this scene.

She stayed for two seconds, and her mind buzzed... Yes, there are dead people!

"--ah!!!"

Suzuki Yuanko ran over with her back, and the flashlight shone on the figure on the ground, and there was a burst of screams in the woods.

Conan also had a serious face.

Although I don’t know why there were dead people in the woods, it seems like a premeditated murder case - the deceased was actually wrapped in a layer of plastic wrap. I don’t know whether it was to facilitate the transfer of the body or to confuse the time of death.

So... the murderer was the bandage man just now?

The bandage attacked them, thinking that they saw the murder scene and wanted to kill someone to silence them?

Conan quickly popped up a series of assumptions that could be self-consistent, and then he squatted down, pressed the flashlight on his watch, and approached the check.

Seeing the "dead" illuminated by the light beam, Conan was slightly stunned. He was actually an acquaintance?

“…My discipline!!!”

Suzuki Yuanko next to her held her face and let out a heartbroken scream, tears rushing out, and then she pounced on Shiraishi like the heroine in the tragic movie, crying for a while.

A few seconds later, she raised her head in confusion and pressed her hand on Bai Shi's chest twice: "Why does it seem like... there is a heartbeat?"

“!?”

Conan was shocked, and he hurriedly squatted down, took off the plastic wrap, and reached out to press Shiraishi's neck.

The blood vessels beating very energetic... they are really alive!

And when I looked closer, I found that what Shirashi was wearing on his body seemed to be not plastic wrap - it had openings on his face, sleeves and hem. Is this... a simple disposable raincoat?

Conan finally realized later that his imagination seemed to be limited by inertial thinking and made a wrong judgment.

He silently raised the flashlight and illuminated it again, and found that Bai Shi's body was also clean, without any blood, and there was no external injury.

"It's true that I'm still alive... It's possible that I just fell here after a sudden illness. Don't press on him, as it's easy to cause secondary damage."

Conan held up his glasses a little embarrassedly and pulled Suzuki Yuanko up, "Anyway, move the person back first."

...

He took the person back to the villa and threw it on the sofa. A group of people surrounded him and studied for a while, but still couldn't find any wounds and couldn't wake him up.

"It's just that I'm asleep." Ayako Suzuki brought a towel, put it on Shiraishi's face and rubbed it twice, wiped off the rain, not taking it seriously:

"Shirashi often fell asleep during class. The professor would try to call him at first, but he couldn't wake him up. Later, the old man checked the information and said that this might be a rare disease, so he stopped caring about him."

"There is still this disease?" Tomokako Ikeda muttered to himself, "You professors just think that the students sleep in class, which makes him feel embarrassed, so they have found a way out for themselves."

Conan listened silently next to him, but he agreed with Ayako Suzuki's statement more.

If this is true, there will be an explanation for Shiraishi suddenly fell asleep in the middle of the living room at Yoko Otsuno that day.
