"Who is that person...?"
Squatting on the ground, Yuanzi said with a trembling voice, his expression looked extremely scared.
"Sister Xiaolan, what happened just now!"
With a serious tone, Conan immediately asked Xiaolan, who was still looking panicked and slumped on the ground.
"have no idea……"
Xiaolan, who was still not free from fear, faced Conan's inquiry and said with lingering fear:
"Just now... I got lost here... As a result, the bandaged man... suddenly came out from behind me and attacked me..."
"How could...there be such a terrifying thing..."
Yuanzi said in horror and some disbelief.
In response, Gao Yuan walked towards the ax left by the bandage weirdo on the ground, took out the handkerchief he carried with him, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and tried to hold the handle of the ax with one hand and lift it up——
"It's quite heavy!"
Lifting the ax hard, Gao Yuan felt the weight of the ax and couldn't help but say.
Recalling that the bandaged man was also holding an ax with one hand just now, it seems that the man should be a man. I wonder if he is the man in the original work...
But if it was him, then what was his purpose in doing this this time?
"Huh? This ax..."
At this time, Yuanzi stood up from the ground and looked a little surprised when he saw the ax picked up by Gao Yuan——
"What's wrong? Miss Sonoko, have you seen this axe?"
Hearing what Yuanzi said, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask Yuanzi.
"kindness."
Sonoko nodded, "This seems to be the ax in the warehouse nearby."
"storehouse?"
When Gao Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. After all, he came out to accompany Amamiya Dunzi to the warehouse to get ingredients, so he couldn't help but ask:
"Is this the warehouse your family usually uses to store ingredients?"
"Ingredients?"
Yuanzi was stunned for a moment by this question, and then reacted:
"You can say that. There are a lot of messy things in that warehouse, but it does store some food that is relatively durable..."
As he said this, Yuanzi couldn't help but ask:
"Huh? How did Mr. Mingzhi know? That warehouse is quite far from the villa?"
"To be honest, I accompanied Miss Amamiya to the warehouse to get ingredients..."
Gao Yuan replied, suddenly frowning slightly——
"Miss Amamiya!"
With that said, he turned around and ran in the direction he came from - just to be on the safe side, it's better to make peace with her first!
Seeing this, Conan immediately followed him, and after Yuanzi pulled Xiaolan up, whose legs were a little weak, she also followed the direction Gao Yuan ran.
After a while, Gao Yuan returned to the original place, while Amamiya Dunzi looked a little uneasy, but fortunately she stayed where she was and did not move -
"Mr. Akechi, what happened?"
Seeing Gao Yuan come back, Amamiya Tunzi couldn't help but asked nervously.
Just as he was talking, Xiaolan, Yuanzi and Conan also appeared behind Gao Yuan——
"Yuanzi and Xiaolan...what's wrong with you?"
Because the two of them were sitting paralyzed in the rainy forest, Xiaolan and Sonoko were inevitably stained with a lot of mud. Seeing this scene, Amamiya Dunzi couldn't help but said in surprise.
"We...were attacked by unknown persons..."
To this, Xiaolan replied.
"attack!"
Hearing this, Amamiya Dunzi was obviously startled, and she covered her mouth and said in surprise.
"That's right. It's a man with bandages!"
Sonoko immediately added, and then asked Amamiya Dunzi:
"Ms. Dunzi, did you meet someone with a bandage on his face just now?"
As Amamiya Dunzi is in the same forest and not far apart, Yuanzi can't help but ask this question.
"No."
Shaking his head, Amamiya Tunzi said slightly cautiously, and glanced at Gao Yuan:
"Mr. Mingzhi asked me to stay where I was just now. I waited until now. I didn't see anyone else around here?"
"Okay, let's do this for now. Miss Amamiya and I will go to the warehouse to get the things and go back immediately. You should go back to the villa first."
After hearing what a few people said, Gao Yuan began to suggest:
"It's not safe to stay in the rainy woods."
"Then let's go to the warehouse together first, and then go back together!"
It seemed that what happened just now made Yuanzi very scared, so she couldn't help but say:
"As for Xiaolan and I, we are a little bit hesitant..."
"good."
Regarding this plan, Gao Yuan nodded affirmatively, so under the leadership of Yuanzi, everyone walked towards the warehouse——
"Speak of it, Miss Sonoko."
On the way, Gao Yuan couldn't help but raise his doubts:
"Why build the warehouse so far away from the villa?"
"You asked this."
Yuanzi explained:
"Actually, the warehouse was there when our family bought the land. It was an old winery. The original owner left a few bottles of not very good vintage wine in it before moving away. Although it’s a bit far from the villa, because I don’t go there often, and there are ready-made houses there, gradually it became a warehouse.”
"Oh, I see."
Gao Yuan couldn't help but say.
"But, I remember that my sister bought a lot of ingredients for today's party. Why did she have to move the not-so-fresh food there?"
Sonoko asked garrulously.
"Because, Ayako forgot to buy red wine, but she remembered that there happened to be some red wine in the warehouse, so she just went to get it."
Amamiya Junko explained, "Ayako also said that she was worried that the door of the warehouse might not be opened for a long time, so it might not be easy to open, so I had better find someone to go there with me... At that time, only Mr. Akechi was still in the room... …”
"Oh, I see."
Yuanzi smiled lightly and said:
"That's just right. The red wine is kept there anyway."
In this way, a few people quickly arrived in front of the so-called warehouse. From the outside, it looked like a single-story house with a wooden structure.
Arriving at the door, Amamiya Dunzi was about to take out the key and open the door, but she couldn't help but made a sound of surprise——
"Strange, the door is not locked?"
Hearing this, Gao Yuan and Conan couldn't help but stepped forward and looked at the padlock position on the iron door of the wooden house——
"There are traces of hacking..."
After just one glance, Conan immediately made a judgment on the marks on it.
"And it doesn't look like it was done recently."
Gao Yuan frowned slightly, feeling that the situation was not good, and then put aside all the original plot in his mind, and came up with a possibility based on the current situation -
"You all stand back."
Gao Yuan spoke seriously, protecting everyone behind him and keeping them away from the door. He took the "star" in his hand again, stretched the chain, and held the monocle and the star-shaped jewelry with both hands. , placed in front of you as a weapon——
Xiaolan, Yuanzi and Amamiya Dunzi, after listening to Gao Yuan's words, obediently took a few steps back, and as if to seek some sense of security, the three of them huddled together.
Conan, on the other hand, was not afraid, and followed Gao Yuan with a serious and nervous expression——
