Of course, since the situation I encountered now has many deviations from the original work, I am not sure whether Chikako Ikeda has a history of plagiarism.
However, the award-winning "Blue Kingdom" by Chikako Ikeda was a love story, but this time the script "The Masked Monster Murder Case" is a mystery story with a wonderful core conspiracy. The difference between the two is really huge.
.
What's more, judging from Suzuki Ayako's words, their film research club during their college years did not touch on this aspect of scripts. From this point of view, the transformation of Chikako Ikeda's second unfinished script is a bit too much.
Big?
Thinking like this, Gao Yuan flipped through the folded manuscript paper again and read through some of its contents——
Moreover, although the events and horror atmosphere of this script are well designed, the lines and emotional design of the plot characters in the corresponding scenes are inexplicably and somewhat inconsistent——
But, so what?
In response, Gao Yuan put the folded manuscript aside, then lay on the bed, put his arms on his forehead, feeling that his thoughts were confused and numb——
Although judging from the content and style of this unfinished script, there may indeed be problems with Chikako Ikeda's creation, but this does not help her solve this incident.
The key to this incident lies in the identity of the "bandage weirdo"!
To sum up, I met the "Bandage Monster" twice. The first time was when Xiaolan was attacked, and the second time was when I went to find Xiao Ai. Based on my observations of these two times, the other person was
A rather tall person with considerable strength and agility, he should be a man.
Among the people at this gathering, there were only three men: Ota Masaru, Kakutani Hiroki, and Takahashi Ryoichi.
However, when Xiao Ai disappeared, they all stayed in the hall, so their suspicions can be ruled out. Therefore, the "bandage weirdo" can really only be a person who is not among the people at this party and hides in the wild on purpose.
people...
Suddenly, Gao Yuan seemed to realize something. He stood up suddenly and sat on the edge of the bed, his expression a little solemn——
"Haiyuan, are you asleep?"
Turning his head to look at Xiao Ai, who was lying on the bed with his back facing him, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask seriously.
"No."
With a cold tone, Xiao Ai replied, "What's the matter?"
"Can you do me a favor?"
Gao Yuan asked seriously...
Late at night, the lights were not turned on in the villa hall. Xiao Ai was sitting at the dining table in the dark hall, as if waiting for something.
Soon, a white beam of light shone into the hall from the broken floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor, and then the beam of light disappeared.
In this regard, after the light beam disappeared, Xiao Ai couldn't help but look up to the second floor, and then she could clearly hear some tiny sounds, which should have been caused by stepping on the broken glass on the floor——
"There's no need to try anymore, I noticed you came in."
In a not too loud voice, Xiao Ai said towards the second floor.
"Then, I won't use the light to remind you this time. You continue to stay where you are and see if you can spot me approaching you."
Although it was dark on the second floor, Gao Yuan's voice responded.
So, Xiao Ai, who was sitting in the dark hall, leaned on the chair without saying anything and sighed helplessly——
It turned out that Gao Yuan wanted to simulate the scene of the "bandage weirdo" sneaking into the villa, and he was here to play the role of the person who stayed in the hall at that time, and wanted to see how to sneak in without being discovered by the people in the hall at the time.
And because of the experience just now, although there was no light reminder this time, Xiao Ai still unconsciously turned her attention to the broken floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor——
Although it was pitch black in the hall and pitch black outside the windows, nothing could be seen at all.
But this time, after waiting for a long time, Xiao Ai didn't notice anything strange, thinking that Gao Yuan hadn't tried to sneak into the villa yet.
However, the light of the flashlight that suddenly came on from behind made Xiao Ai tremble all over.
With a horrified look on her face, Xiao Ai turned her head and looked behind her. She was standing with her back against the wall, shining a flashlight on herself and looking at herself with a smile. Xiao Ai felt a faint feeling of fear -
—
"How did you get here!"
Xiao Ai broke into a cold sweat and couldn't help asking Gao Yuan.
However, Gao Yuan answered the question incorrectly:
"Do you still remember, Huiyuan? Where you are sitting now is exactly where Xiaolan was sitting at that time."
Taking a flashlight, he walked to the light switch in the hall nearby. Gao Yuan turned on the light in the hall and explained to Xiao Ai:
"So it was no accident that the 'bandage weirdo' appeared behind Xiaolan!"
"So, you figured out how that 'bandage weirdo' got in at that time?"
In response, Xiao Ai could not help but look at Gao Yuan coldly and said.
"Well, I'm basically sure."
Gao Yuan nodded:
"The other party was actually trying to confuse the audience by breaking the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor. Under the circumstances, it was impossible for the 'bandage weirdo' to sneak into the villa from there without any movement."
As he spoke, Gao Yuan couldn't help but sigh:
"Sure enough, sometimes you have to be there to notice it - after all, in total darkness, not only us in the hall, but even the 'bandage weirdo' himself can't see anything at all! It's impossible for him to
While you can't see anything, avoid the broken glass shards all over the floor!"
"Then how did he get in?"
Xiao Ai said doubtfully.
"'He' came out of Miss Ikeda's room!"
Gao Yuan was convinced:
"In this dark villa, come out of the room, touch the wall, and slowly move into the hall! And according to the experiment just now, you can just come out of Miss Ikeda's room, touch the wall all the way, and walk right into the hall.
In front of the wall behind where Xiaolan was sitting!"
"So that's it..."
Xiao Ai understood, but then——
"Wait a minute! Doesn't that mean..."
"'Bandage Freak', familiar with the structure of the villa!"
Gao Yuan told Xiao Ai's unspoken guess, and at the same time said with a clear expression:
"I now understand how the prisoner took you away, and I also roughly understand how the murderer killed Miss Ikeda... However, there are still two key issues that I have not figured out..."
As he said that, Gao Yuan couldn't help but look helpless——
"It's a pity that we can't contact the outside world now, and there are some things that we can't verify now."
"But at least you already know who the murderer is."
Xiao Ai couldn't help but say.
In response, Gao Yuan couldn't help but waved his hand:
"I'm really sorry... Because those two key questions cannot be answered yet, I still can't determine which one of them is the murderer."
"That means-"
Hearing what Gao Yuan said, Xiao Ai was convinced:
"The murderer is indeed among this group of people, right?"
