Under Qing Shuijing's comfort, everyone in the villa soon returned to calm, and everyone went back to their rooms first, waiting for the time for midnight snacks.
It wasn't until after ten o'clock in the evening that everyone left the room one after another and walked to the dining table in the living room on the first floor.
"Hey, Takahashi, hurry up, dinner is about to be served." Hiroki Kakutani, who sat down at the dining table and took pictures with his camera, shouted to Ryoichi Takahashi who was still on the second floor.
"Oh, okay, right away." Hearing this, Takahashi Ryoichi nodded and quickened his pace a little.
However, just as he walked past a window in the corridor, his expression suddenly changed and he shouted quickly:
"Next to the window on the first floor! There seems to be someone there!"
"Shadow?"
After everyone heard this, they subconsciously looked towards the window Takahashi Ryoichi mentioned. At the same time, a strange man with a bandage on his face and dressed in black hugged a woman and flashed out of the window at an extremely fast speed. .
It's that bandage weirdo!
And the woman being held by the weirdo was none other than Chikako Ikeda, who should be resting in the room!
"Tsk!"
Seeing this scene, Conan jumped up immediately, jumped out of the window and chased after him.
As if he felt something in his heart, he looked back at the villa.
At this glance, he happened to see Qing Shuijing with a smile on her lips.
Is he laughing? Why?
There was no time to think about this, and Conan ran into the woods in the direction the weirdo left.
"Okay! Let's chase that kid too!"
Almost at the same time, Masaru Ohta and Hiroki Kakutani also jumped out of the window. Before Masaru Ohta left, he called out to Ryoichi Takahashi who was on the second floor.
"Hurry up Takahashi! Follow me too!"
"Ah? Shall I go too?"
"Is not this nonsensical?"
All the men left the villa with a clatter, except Qing Shuijing.
He stood up, smiled and said to Suzuki Ayako next to him: "Ayako, lock the doors and windows, I will go upstairs to take a look."
"Um."
There is a common balcony outside the rooms on the second floor. The rooms connected by this balcony can walk from one room to another through this balcony without opening the door.
Qing Shuijing stood somewhere on the balcony, raised her hand and touched the wooden guardrail of the balcony.
He is looking for something.
Under his fingers, there were two slender marks on the guardrail that seemed to have been cut by something.
"found it."
"..."
In the end, everyone still failed to catch the bandage monster in the woods, and only found the fragmented body of Chikako Ikeda.
Faced with this situation, everyone was helpless. There was no phone signal, the suspension bridge was cut off, and it was already getting late...
All they could do was lock all the doors and windows of the villa and wait until tomorrow morning.
"Aying, tell me, will that bandage weirdo come to attack us tonight?"
In the room, Suzuki Sonoko, who had already changed into pajamas, huddled in the corner of the bed holding the quilt, shivering.
"Don't be afraid of Yuanzi." Karasuma Ying, who was changing clothes, heard this and turned around with a smile to comfort her: "My strength is not weaker than Xiaolan. If that weirdo dares to come, I will definitely protect you."
"Yes, yes!"
Thinking of Karasumaying's skills, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly felt infinite courage in her heart.
yes! What does she have to be afraid of? A Ying's fighting power is very high. It doesn't matter if the bandage weirdo doesn't come. If he dares to come, A Ying will definitely be able to subdue him in a few strokes!
"Then A Ying, I will leave all my wealth and life to you tonight!"
"Don't worry Yuanzi, I won't let anything happen to you."
After changing into her pajamas, Karasumaying turned off the light, lifted the quilt and lay down in her bed.
Because this room only had one large bed, she could only sleep together with Sonoko.
Fortunately, neither she nor Sonoko were people who cared about this, so neither of them felt any embarrassment.
"Aying, can it be okay if I hold you and sleep tonight?" In the darkness, Suzuki Sonoko quietly came over and whispered in Karasumaying's ear.
It seemed like she was still scared.
"……good."
Sighing quietly in her heart, Karasumaying agreed with some helplessness.
"Great!"
Listening to Sonoko's gradually calming breathing in her ears, Karasumaying couldn't fall asleep at all.
She was sorting out and reviewing a series of things that happened tonight.
There were many doubts about the entire death process of Chikako Ikeda.
First, how on earth did the murderer take Chikako Ikeda with him, avoid being pursued by the boys, and cut his body into pieces in the woods?
Secondly, Chikako Ikeda’s room was at the front of the villa, but the window through which the murderer took Chikako Ikeda through was at the back of the villa. Why did the murderer go around in such a big circle to deliberately let people in the villa see it?
Third, Conan discovered before that Chikako Ikeda’s shoes in the shoe cabinet were missing, but her pair of indoor slippers appeared at the back door of the villa. This seemed to indicate that Chikako was in the villa when she was killed. outside?
Why is she going out? And he went out quietly through the back door? Was she really killed outside?
Fourth, when Chikako Ikeda returned to her room, Karasumaying once noticed something. There seemed to be a note under the door of Chikako's room.
When Chikako saw the note, her expression suddenly changed. What on earth was written on the note? Was it that note that made her leave the villa quietly?
"ah--"
Suddenly, a scream in the silent night interrupted Karasumaying's thinking.
[Is this Xiaolan’s voice? ! 】
At the same time, in another room on the first floor, Qing Shuijing opened his eyes suddenly. He glanced at Suzuki Ayako, who was still sleeping peacefully beside him, and gently stood up and lifted the quilt.
"Jingjun?"
However, when he was about to open the door, Suzuki Ayako woke up. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Qing Shuijing in confusion.
"There seems to be movement upstairs. I'll go up and take a look."
"Wait! Jingjun, I'm going too."
Her mind suddenly cleared, Suzuki Ayako quickly stood up and followed Qing Shuijing.
When the two people left the room, they saw Karasuma Ying who happened to come out of the room.
"Mr. Shimizu? Sister Ayako?"
"Sister Karasuma?"
"Did you hear it too?" Qing Shuijing asked directly.
"Um."
Karasumaying immediately understood what Qing Shuijing was asking, nodded immediately, then turned around and walked quickly upstairs, rushed out of Xiaolan's room in one breath, and slammed the door.
"Xiaolan! Are you inside? Open the door quickly!"
Before going to bed at night, everyone locked the doors of their rooms. They originally wanted to prevent the bandage weirdo, but unexpectedly it became an obstacle to them.
"ah!"
Xiaolan's scream sounded again in the room, and Karasumaying's heart skipped a beat.
no solution anymore.
She first took a deep breath to steady her breathing, then took two steps back to slightly distance herself. Then she suddenly exerted force on her feet, turned around and kicked the door hard with a roundhouse kick.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, the door lock broke instantly, and the door opened in response.
[Ah, it’s Sister Xiaoying, the superwoman...]
In the room, Conan, who was about to open the door, was dumbfounded again.
