Looking at Gao Yuan and others who suddenly appeared here, Amamiya Atsuko's expression became extremely nervous.
In this regard, Gao Yuan said calmly:
"What's wrong, Miss Amamiya? Shouldn't you have been prepared for me to appear here?"
"Mr. Akechi...what do you mean by that?"
Pretending to be calm, Atsuko Amamiya couldn't help but say.
"Actually, when I realized that the 'bandage weirdo' who took Xiao Ai away in the lobby of the villa might be Miss Chikako Ikeda, I roughly understood what was going on this time. However, because I was determined to have killed Ikeda I knew who the real murderer of Jia Zi was, so I had no choice but to imitate the murderer’s methods and act out this play!”
"The murderer's methods...acted this drama..."
Amamiya Atsuko murmured a little while repeating it, and then asked with a wry smile:
"what does this mean?"
"Although there are traces of the lock in the warehouse that were broken a long time ago, and when we came here, we saw traces of the 'bandage weirdo', it will make people think that there is a 'bandage weirdo' nearby. Wandering.”
Gao Yuan began to explain:
"But in fact, from the beginning to the end, we have been unable to rule out the possibility that the 'Bandage Monster' is among us - after all, since we met the 'Bandage Monster', 'he' has not been with all of us. Appeared at the same time!"
With that said, Gao Yuan looked around at the people present and said seriously:
"However, when Xiao Ai was taken away from the villa and locked up in the warehouse, I did waver in this idea - everyone was in the lobby of the villa at that time, and no one should have the opportunity or means to take her away. Xiao Ai was taken away from the villa. Therefore, I also began to think about the possibility that the 'bandage weirdo' was an outsider. At the same time, I also tried to assume the perspective of the 'bandage weirdo' and re-enact the situation that happened at that time - "
After a pause, Gao Yuan continued:
"And when I assumed the perspective of the 'Bandage Man' and tried to sneak into the villa as an outsider, I suddenly understood that it was impossible for the 'Bandage Man' to enter the villa through the broken floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, because at that time, neither We in the hall and the 'Bandage Man' outside can't see anything due to the darkness, so it's impossible for the 'Bandage Man' to avoid the broken glass all over the floor."
"Therefore, there was only one way for the 'bandage weirdo' to sneak into the villa at that time and sneak up behind Miss Xiaolan -"
Emphasizing his tone, Takato looked at Atsuko Amamiya and said:
"That was through Chikako Ikeda's room, whose floor-to-ceiling windows were unlocked at the time, entering through the window, then exiting through the door, touching the wall, and reaching the lobby on the first floor!"
Hearing this, the expressions of the people who followed Gao Yuan changed slightly——
"That's right, the 'bandage weirdo' is familiar with the internal structure of the villa, so he can't be an outsider!"
Gao Yuan stated his inference categorically.
"Wait a moment!"
Takahashi Ryoichi stood in front of Gao Yuan and retorted loudly:
"According to what you said, we still can't rule out the possibility that the 'bandage weirdo' is an outsider! He might have sneaked in to investigate when there was no one in the villa before!"
"Indeed, you are right."
Gao Yuan did not deny this possibility, but continued:
"However, when we later inspected Miss Chikako Ikeda's room, there were several very suspicious points... Don't you think so, Miss Sonoko!"
Deliberately, Gao Yuan turned his gaze to Sonoko, who was leaning against the tree and sleeping, giving Conan a chance to show off——
"Yes, if the 'Bandage Monster' really sneaked into Miss Chikako's room from the outside and then entered the hall, then there are indeed several points that are very strange. Whether there is no water or mud stains in the room, or the Why is Miss Chikako’s floor-to-ceiling window not locked—”
Conan continued to pick up the voice changer and answered in Sonoko's voice:
"Of course, there is one most critical point, that is, when we checked Miss Chikako's room later, it was actually locked!"
"If the absence of water and mud stains in the room is due to the careful actions of the 'Bandage Freak', the unlocking of the floor-to-ceiling windows may be just a coincidence, and the door to the room is closed to prevent us from discovering the real way 'he' sneaked in, it seems so. That’s understandable.”
Gao Yuan said.
"However, if three situations occur in Miss Chikako's room at the same time, then there will be a conflict!"
Conan explained in Sonoko's voice.
"If the 'bandage weirdo' was so careful that he didn't even bring any water or mud stains on his body into the scene, and even considered locking the door to conceal his true route into the villa, then why did 'he' The most important floor-to-ceiling window lock was not locked! If 'he' also locked the floor-to-ceiling window lock, it would be difficult for us to discover the real way 'he' sneaked into the villa!"
Gao Yuan explained, then paused and continued:
"So, after realizing the problem, I suddenly realized a possibility - because Chikako Ikeda was the deceased in this incident, I did not suspect her at first. But if it is really Ikeda Is Chikako-san pretending to be a 'bandage weirdo'? Once I figured this out, the whole thing suddenly made sense!"
"If the 'bandage weirdo' we saw at that time was Miss Chikako in disguise, then a lot of things would make sense——"
Sonoko's voice continued:
"The floor-to-ceiling window of the window is open because Miss Chikako wants to break the floor-to-ceiling window above the hall through the balcony. There is no water damage in the room because no outsiders come in. As for the door lock of the room, it is to prevent us from looking for her later. At that time, I discovered that she was no longer in the room. In this way, these three suspicious points can be explained! "
"After understanding this, we can get the answer to why Miss Chikako Ikeda died in the woods——"
Gao Yuan said:
"We always thought that the person who killed Miss Chikako Ikeda was the 'bandage weirdo'. But in fact, if Miss Chikako Ikeda was the 'bandage weirdo', then the murderer only needed to find himself in the woods while we were going to Xiaoai. Just kill Miss Chikako Ikeda when she walks out of the villa!"
"In other words, the murderer knew from the beginning that the 'Bandage Monster' was Miss Chikako pretending to be one. And it is very possible that the murderer was the companion who helped Miss Chikako complete the play of pretending to be the 'Bandage Monster'!"
Conan said through Sonoko's voice.
"But why did Chikako do this! Why did she pretend to be a 'bandage weirdo' to scare us!"
Incomprehensible, Suzuki Ayako asked.
"This is the core question of this whole thing. To understand this whole thing, the core question is why Miss Chikako Ikeda chose to play the role of 'bandage weirdo' to scare everyone at this party."
As he spoke, Gao Yuan looked at Atsuko Amamiya seriously, and then said helplessly:
"In order to answer this question, I would like to ask, Amamiya... let's call you this for now... Miss Amamiya Atsuko - who are you? You are not Amamiya Atsuko, who are you!"
