"Were you attacked again?"
In Xiaolan's room, everyone who had arrived late looked at Mao Lilan, who was sitting on the bed, a little embarrassed, in shock.
Although the bandage monster attacked her again, because of Conan and Karasuma Ying who arrived in time, she was not injured this time. Instead, Conan, who desperately tried to stop the bandage monster, accidentally sprained his foot.
"Really, where did that guy come in from?" Ota Sheng curled his lips.
"window."
Squatting by the window of the room, Karasuma Ying frowned slightly as she looked at the circular gap on the floor-to-ceiling window glass.
"The bandage weirdo probably used something that could cut glass to separate the window of Xiaolan's room from the balcony, and then opened the window from the outside and came in to attack Xiaolan."
"Balcony? How did that guy get on the balcony?" Hearing this, Ohta Katsu opened the floor-to-ceiling window and walked to the balcony.
Karasumaying did not answer, but looked down at the floor of the room in deep thought.
This is what she is curious about, how did the bandage weirdo get to the balcony?
No, we should ask, how did the bandage weirdo come into Xiaolan's room from outside without leaving a trace of dirt on the floor?
You know, it's still raining outside...
Could it be that... the bandage weirdo didn't actually come in from the outside?
Realizing this, Karasumaying suddenly felt a chill down her back.
Doesn't this mean that the bandage weirdo has actually been hiding in the villa? What's more, the bandage weirdo is actually one of them?
Subconsciously, Karasuma Ying turned to look at Conan, and at this moment, Conan also happened to look at Karasuma Ying, and both of them saw the same thing in each other's eyes.
"Conan, have you noticed the size of that bandage weirdo before?"
"Well, not very tall, not fat or thin, and of medium build."
sorry.
Karasuma Ying frowned.
None of the men in the villa could match the body shape of the bandaged man.
Shimizu Shizu and Ota Masaru are too thin, Kakutani Hiroki is too tall, Takahashi Ryoichi is too fat... and for women, it is even more impossible.
"Hey, Sister Xiaoying, can you take me to the balcony to have a look?" At this moment, Conan suddenly said.
"good."
Karasuma Ying carried Conan with his injured leg and walked to the balcony. In the room, Qing Shuijing watched this scene, turned to everyone and said:
"It seems that we won't be able to sleep tonight. Everyone, why don't we all sit together in the living room all night. In this case, Mr. Bandage Freak will probably have some concerns and won't dare to attack us casually again."
"Okay, that's all we can do now."
After Qing Shuijing finished speaking, the rest of the people left the room one after another.
On the balcony at this time, Karasumaying stopped somewhere on the guardrail. She suddenly noticed that there were two marks on the guardrail here that looked like they were cut by thin lines.
"Sister Xiaoying, have you thought of anything?" Conan asked in a cute tone on Karasumaying's back.
"Conan, I remember that when Xiaolan went upstairs to find a room when she first arrived at the villa, did she open the wrong door several times?"
"Well, that's what happened."
"I see, no wonder...the murderer wanted to attack Xiaolan several times."
At this moment, Karasumaying figured everything out.
Who is the murderer, how did he kill Chikako Ikeda, and why did he attack Xiaolan twice...
However, although she had deduced the entire process, she still lacked one piece of evidence, evidence that could prove that Chikako Ikeda's body had been moved.
"Speaking of which, Ayako, who owns this necklace? I picked it up at the back entrance."
In the room behind him, Qing Shuijing suddenly asked. A black necklace appeared in his hand.
Necklace? !
On the balcony, Karasuma Ying and Conan suddenly turned around and returned to the room after hearing this.
"Huh? This necklace..." Suzuki Ayako looked at the necklace carefully and said, "I remember it should be Chikako's, but isn't Chikako already..."
"It's weird, it shouldn't be..."
When Qing Shuijing heard this, he suddenly showed a very confused expression. He took out a camera from behind like a magic trick, pointed at the picture on the camera, and said:
"Ayako, look, Miss Ikeda was still wearing a necklace around her neck before she was kidnapped by the bandage monster.
Her necklace should still be lying in the woods with her body at this time..."
Saying that, Qing Shuijing also specially transferred the pictures on the camera to Karasumaying and Conan.
When the bandage monster ran out of the window with Chikako Ikeda tied up, Hiroki Kakutani's camera happened to capture the scene.
In the picture, Chikako Ikeda's necklace is still on her neck.
However, what is puzzling is that the necklace on Shimizu Shizu's hand is indeed exactly the same as that of Chikako Ikeda.
"I see, now I have everything..."
Looking at this necklace, Karasuma Ying and Conan on her back smiled at the same time.
"Mr. Qingshui, please call everyone else over and say... we have found the bandage weirdo."
The bandage weirdo is actually Ryoichi Takahashi who pretends to be fat.
Yes, pretend.
Ryoichi Takahashi is not actually fat, and his big belly is actually disguised by him using props. When Xiaolan first came to the villa to find her room, she opened the door without knocking, so she inadvertently looked at it. This is what Ryoichi Takahashi looks like when he changes clothes.
Although Xiaolan did not realize the difference in Takahashi Ryo's body shape in her panic, she did not think of this detail afterwards.
But what if?
What if she suddenly remembered?
So Takahashi Ryoichi became murderous towards Mao Lilan, first in the woods, and then when Xiaolan was sleeping. He attacked Xiaolan twice in a row in order to get rid of Xiaolan, a "potential insider."
When in the woods, Takahashi Ryoichi took action directly, but was scared away by Suzuki Sonoko and Conan who arrived in time.
When they were in the room just now, Takahashi Ryoichi used the shared balcony to go around the room next to Ran that originally belonged to Chikako Ikeda to commit the murder. However, he was also stopped by Conan and Karasuma Ei who arrived in time.
As for the method of killing Chikako Ikeda, it was also very simple.
The note that Chikako Ikeda found under the door was presumably left intentionally by Ryoichi Takahashi. It probably contained a bad secret about Chikako Ikeda, and asked her to go to the woods at night.
Therefore, Chikako Ikeda deliberately avoided everyone and quietly went to the woods alone, and was killed and quartered in the woods by Ryoichi Takahashi who had been waiting for a long time.
After killing and dismembering Chikako Ikeda, Takahashi Ryoichi randomly abandoned her body parts in the woods, except for her head, which he hid in his cotton-filled abdomen and quietly brought back to the villa.
Then, he used a thin steel wire on the balcony on the second floor to put the inflatable dummy dressed in the bandage monster costume and the head of Chikako Ikeda, and performed "The bandage monster kills Chikako and escapes into the woods" in front of everyone in the living room. Drama, create proof of presence for yourself.
The necklace of Chikako that Shimizu picked up at the back entrance was actually accidentally dropped by Takahashi Ryoichi when he killed Chikako in the woods and quietly brought her head back to the villa.
All the mysteries about the bandage monster were solved. Under the reasoning of Karasuma Ying and Conan, Takahashi Ryoichi, who had a broken will, admitted his crime and also revealed his motives.
It turns out that all this is related to Atsuko, a club member who committed suicide during their college days.
According to Takahashi Ryoichi, Atsuko is his girlfriend. In college, Atsuko once wrote a very good novel, but that novel was plagiarized and published by another member of the same club. Atsuko couldn't bear the blow. He hanged himself in the club.
As a result, Takahashi Ryoichi hated Chikako Ikeda. In order to avenge Atsuko, he took advantage of the opportunity of Suzuki Ayako's class reunion to kill her.
That's probably what he wrote on the note he left at Chikako Ikeda's door...
In this way, all the doubts about Takahashi Ryoichi were solved.
But for Conan, there is still one person whose doubts remain unresolved.
On Karasumaying's back, Conan looked at Qing Shuijing with a calm expression on the side, and a special light was reflected on the lenses.
Qing Shui Jing, who are you?
