Chapter 133: 132 Are Doors and Windows Protected Against Gentlemen and Murderers?(1/2)
Chapter 133 132. Can doors and windows protect gentlemen from murderers?
However, because the mission content includes the restriction of "finding the bandage weirdo", the system map does not perform positioning and navigation.
In other words, Sano must first solve the case himself, or find out the truth.
However, that bandage monster could frighten Mao Lilan, who is so terrifying in strength. In terms of combat effectiveness, he is probably not much weaker even if he is weak. If he wants to complete this mission, I am afraid that he will not be able to rely on the body vest alone.
Sano narrowed his eyes, thinking about how to catch the bandage weirdo.
I just don’t know if the other party has committed other crimes before coming here. Why don’t I use the hammer of justice to wash it over first?
While Sano was meditating, Ota and Kakutani both came down from their rooms on the second floor.
"Is dinner ready? I'm almost starving."
"Ah, it's ready."
Ohta opened a seat: "Where are Chikako and Takahashi?"
"Chikako is resting in the room."
Suzuki Ayako shouted to the second floor: "Takahashi, please come down quickly, dinner is ready!"
"coming!"
Takahashi responded and came to the corridor on the second floor. Ohta asked again: "Is the roof repaired?"
"Well, it's been fixed."
"As expected of a prop maker."
In the hall, Kakutani was still playing with his camera, directing to Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan: "Come on, smile."
Sano also got up from the sofa, planning to stay up all night after dinner and wait for the bandage monster.
But at this moment, Takahashi's expression suddenly changed on the second floor, and he stood on the window and shouted: "Hey, who are you!?"
"What's wrong!?"
Several people in the lobby on the first floor became nervous.
"There seems to be someone at the window on the first floor!"
Under Takahashi's instructions, several people's eyes subconsciously moved to the window, and then in the next second, a figure wearing a hood and a bandage on his face flashed out holding the horrified Chikako Ikeda.
Pass.
"Chikako!?"
Amid the exclamations, Sano reacted the fastest and rushed over to push open the window. He looked around but saw no one.
Is it so fast?
Sano frowned, could he run so fast while carrying someone on his back?
On the side, Conan jumped out of the window and rushed into the woods in the rain.
This guy just rushed in without any clues?
Sano was stunned for only a second, then climbed over the window and chased after him.
There is no way, if you want to find the bandage monster, Sano must try his best not to miss any clues.
Although it is not impossible to rely on Conan, it is inevitable that there will be some accidents that will cause this kid to not see the truth. Being prepared with both hands is what a tough gangster should have, and it is the awareness that a detective should have.
At the rear, three men, Ota Kakutani and Takahashi, also quickly chased after them with flashlights.
Sano frowned slightly: "You left all the girls in the villa?"
"Don't worry, that bandage weirdo is outside. I reminded them to close the doors and windows before coming out."
Ota explained.
The problem is that doors and windows protect against gentlemen but not against murderers.
Zuo Ye was speechless, but thinking of Mao Lilan's fighting power, he felt that he could ignore this problem for the time being, so he didn't say anything more.
After sprinting for two to three hundred meters, Sano's physical strength had already begun to decline rapidly. He was panting and even began to hesitate in his heart whether to retreat temporarily.
But at this moment, Conan, who could still lead the run with his two short legs, suddenly stopped. Wherever the flashlight light shined, the expressions of the people behind him changed drastically.
"It's the feet!"
Yes, what appeared in front of everyone was a foot that was partially broken off from the calf. It looked like it had been chopped off by an axe.
"Could it be that this belongs to Chikako..."
Before Ohta could finish his words, Takahashi, who was at the back, let out another fearful exclamation: "There is a hand here!"
"how so……"
Ota swallowed his saliva and said, "Let's spread out and look for him."
Kakutani shouted "Chikako" in a panic, but he seemed to have tripped over something while running. He stumbled and fell to the ground. When he looked back, he could barely see a broken body.
"Chikako..."
Kakutani threw away the flashlight and was about to pick up Chikako Ikeda, but he didn't expect that as soon as he lifted her up, a round ball-shaped object fell directly to the ground in the next second.
The screams of panic rang out, but Sano could be considered calm for the time being, and he was even amusing himself in his heart.
Wow, let's split up.
…
After the group temporarily placed the body of Chikako Ikeda, and then went back to bring back the news of her death, Ayako Suzuki, who was the initiator of the party, immediately shed tears and blamed herself.
In Suzuki Ayako's view, if she had not held this party, perhaps Chikako Ikeda would not have died.
No, maybe what you should really blame yourself for is that you shouldn't have given your sister a chance for Conan to arrive.
Sano silently glanced at Conan, but it was a pity that this kid didn't have any consciousness and was frowning in thought.
Seeing this, the others quickly comforted Suzuki Ayako. Sano had already discovered that Kakutani probably had an impure relationship with Chikako Ikeda, and even angrily cursed the bandage weirdo.
"It's all that guy's fault. He took Chikako away from our eyes. That murderer is so abominable!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Sano on the side suddenly felt an idea come to him and was taken away from them "before their eyes"?
Wait a minute, when the bandaged man floated past the window just now, it seemed that except for the victim Chikako Ikeda, everyone else was in the villa.
Sano frowned in surprise. Did he guess wrongly that that guy was not actually from the villa?
No, that's not right. Since the system mission has stated that you need to find the bandage weirdo by yourself, then this guy must be among this group of people.
As for why the bandage weirdo passed by with Chikako Ikeda in front of everyone at that time, it must have been a trick to eliminate his suspicion.
After all, it was a case that happened around Conan, and several seemingly unrelated clues had been laid out in advance, saying that the murderer was killing people indiscriminately, but Sano didn't believe it anyway.
Sano's brain was running wildly. Since Chikako Ikeda had been killed, he might just find an opportunity to test it with the Hammer of Justice.
But not now.
Both Conan and Mao Lilan are familiar with Sano's "method of solving crimes". If Sano directly finds the bandage monster now, they may choose to tie up the other party first regardless of the clues.
But the content of Sano's mission was to catch the bandage weirdo instead of the murderer or find out the truth. This involved a doubt that Sano had in the Museum Knight incident.
All in all, just in case something unexpected happens, you have to take advantage of the situation.
"In short, everyone, please go back to your room and rest first. Be sure to lock the doors and windows. When the weather clears tomorrow, we will immediately find a way to go down the mountain and call the police."
While going upstairs, Sano, who was instinctively connecting clues, glanced at Takahashi's belly inadvertently, and his steps immediately stopped.
Why was Mao Lilan so shy when she first arrived at the villa, why did the bandage monster attack Mao Lilan, how did the bandage monster in the villa achieve a clone, and the face of Chikako Ikeda flashing through the window that Sano saw at that time,
Why was something so wrong, why didn't I shout...
Everything is connected in series.
I see.
Sano glanced at the Maorilan trio who didn't go upstairs for some reason, quietly pulled out half of the Hammer of Justice's head, and leaned towards Takahashi.
"Woo!"
Sure enough, under Sano's gentle collision, Takahashi let out a muffled groan.
"Excuse me."
Sano pretended not to care and apologized, then went directly back to his room.
There is no mistake, the bandage weirdo is Takahashi. That guy must have used a string puppet or something like that on the second floor to temporarily act as the bandage weirdo to eliminate his own suspicion.
As for Chikako Ikeda, she probably only had one head left at that time, so her expression was so stiff and she didn't make any noise.
The purpose of Takahashi's doing this was naturally to make the situation at that time seem like the bandage weirdo actually existed and was not someone inside the villa.
That guy probably hid Chikako Ikeda’s head in that fake belly.
Mao Lilan just came to this villa and couldn't figure out where her room was. I'm afraid that when she pushed open the door of other people's rooms recklessly, she accidentally broke the fact that Takahashi's stomach was fake, which hindered her.
The other party's plan was therefore silenced.
Well, although Mao Lilan seemed to have forgotten, or perhaps didn't notice it at all.
To be continued...
