However, because the mission content includes the restriction of "finding the bandage weirdo", the system map does not perform positioning and navigation.
In other words, Zuo Ye must first solve the problem himself, or find out the truth.
However, that bandage monster can scare Mao Lilan, who is so terrifying, into this. In terms of combat effectiveness, even if it is weak, it is not much weaker. If you want to complete this mission, I am afraid that you will not be able to rely on the body vest alone.
Zuoye narrowed his eyes, thinking about how to catch the bandage weirdo.
I just don’t know if the other party has committed other crimes before coming here. Why don’t I use the hammer of justice to wash it over first?
While Zuo Ye was meditating, Ota and Kakutani both came down from the rooms on the second floor.
"Is dinner ready? I'm almost starving."
"Ah, it's ready."
Ohta opened a seat: "Where are Chikako and Takahashi?"
"Chikako is resting in the room."
Suzuki Ayako shouted to the second floor: "Takahashi, please come down quickly, dinner is ready!"
"coming!"
Takahashi responded and came to the corridor on the second floor. Ohta asked again: "Is the roof repaired?"
"Yeah, it's been fixed."
"As expected of a prop maker."
In the hall, Kakutani was still playing with his camera, directing to Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan: "Come on, smile."
Zuo Ye also got up from the sofa, planning to stay up all night after dinner and wait for the bandage weirdo.
But at this moment, Takahashi's expression suddenly changed on the second floor. He leaned against the window and shouted, "Hey, who are you!?"
"What's wrong!?"
Several people in the lobby on the first floor became nervous.
"There seems to be someone at the window on the first floor!"
Under Takahashi's instructions, several people's eyes subconsciously moved to the window, and then in the next second, a figure wearing a hood and a bandage on his face flashed out holding the horrified Chikako Ikeda. Pass.
"Chikako!?"
Amid the exclamations, Zuo Ye reacted the fastest. He rushed over and pushed open the window. He looked around but saw no one.
Is it so fast?
Zuo Ye frowned, could he run so fast while carrying someone on his back?
On the side, Conan jumped out of the window and rushed into the woods in the rain.
This guy just rushed in without any clues?
Zuo Ye was stunned for only a second, then climbed over the window and chased after him.
There is no other way. If you want to find the bandage monster, Zuo Ye must try his best not to miss any clues.
Although it is not impossible to rely on Conan, it is inevitable that there will be some accidents that will cause this kid to not see the truth. Being prepared is what a tough gangster should have, and what a detective should have.
From behind, three men, Ota Kakutani and Takahashi, also quickly chased after them with flashlights.
Zuo Ye frowned slightly: "Did you leave all the girls in the villa?"
"Don't worry, that bandage weirdo is outside. I reminded them to close the doors and windows before coming out."
Ota explained.
The problem is that doors and windows protect against gentlemen but not against murderers.
Zuo Ye was speechless, but thinking of Mao Lilan's combat effectiveness, he felt that he could ignore the problem for the time being, so he didn't say anything more.
After sprinting for two to three hundred meters, Zuo Ye's physical strength had already begun to decline rapidly. He was panting and even began to hesitate in his heart whether to retreat temporarily.
But at this moment, Conan, who could still lead the run with his two short legs, suddenly stopped. Wherever the flashlight light shined, the expressions of the people behind him changed drastically.
"It's feet!"
Yes, what appeared in front of everyone was a foot that was partially broken off from the calf. It looked like it had been cut off by an axe.
"Could it be that this belongs to Chikako..."
Before Ota could finish his words, Takahashi, who was at the back, let out another fearful exclamation: "There is a hand here!"
"how so……"
Ota swallowed his saliva and said, "Let's spread out and look for them."
Kakutani yelled "Chikako" in a panic, but he seemed to trip over something while running. He stumbled and fell to the ground. When he turned around, he could barely see a broken body.
"Chikako..."
Kakutani threw away the flashlight and was about to pick up Chikako Ikeda, but he didn't expect that as soon as he lifted her up, a round spherical object fell directly to the ground in the next second.
The screams of panic rang out, but Zuo Ye could be considered calm for the time being, and he was even amusing himself in his heart.
Wow, split up.
…
After the group temporarily placed the body of Chikako Ikeda and then brought back the news of her death, Suzuki Ayako, the initiator of the party, immediately shed tears and blamed herself.
In Suzuki Ayako's view, if she hadn't held this party, maybe Chikako Ikeda would not have died.
No, maybe what you should really blame yourself for is that you shouldn't have given your sister a chance for Conan's arrival.
Zuo Ye silently poked Conan, but unfortunately the boy didn't have the slightest awareness and was frowning in thought.
Seeing this, the others quickly comforted Suzuki Ayako. Zuoye had already discovered that Kakutani probably had an impure relationship with Chikako Ikeda, and even angrily cursed the bandage weirdo.
"It's all that guy's fault. He took Chikako away from our eyes. That murderer, damn it!"
As soon as these words came out, Zuo Ye on the side suddenly felt an idea come to him and took him away "in front of their eyes"?
Wait a minute, when the bandaged man floated past the window just now, it seemed that except for the victim Chikako Ikeda, everyone else was in the villa.
Zuo Ye frowned in surprise. Could it be that he had guessed wrong and that guy was not actually from the villa?
No, that's not right. Since the system mission has stated that you need to find the bandage weirdo by yourself, then this guy must be among this group of people.
As for why the bandage weirdo passed by with Chikako Ikeda in front of everyone at that time, it must have been a trick to eliminate his suspicion.
After all, it was an incident that happened around Conan, and several seemingly unrelated clues had been laid out in advance, saying that the murderer was killing people indiscriminately, but Zuo Ye didn't believe it anyway.
Zuo Ye's brain was running wildly. Since Chikako Ikeda had been killed, he might just find an opportunity to test a wave with the Hammer of Justice.
But not now.
Both Conan and Mao Lilan are familiar with Zuo Ye's "breaking method". If Zuo Ye directly finds the bandage monster now, they may choose to tie up the other party first regardless of the clues.
But Zuo Ye's mission was to catch the bandaged weirdo instead of the murderer or find out the truth. This involved one of Zuo Ye's doubts in the Museum Knight incident.
All in all, just in case, you have to take advantage of the situation.
"In short, everyone, please go back to your room and rest first. Be sure to lock the doors and windows. When the weather clears tomorrow, we will immediately find a way to go down the mountain and call the police."
As he went upstairs, Zuo Ye, who was instinctively connecting clues, glanced at Takahashi's belly inadvertently, and his steps immediately stopped.
Why was Mao Lilan so shy when she first arrived at the villa, why did the bandage monster attack Mao Lilan, how did the bandage monster in the villa achieve a clone, and what Zuo Ye saw at that time was the face of Chikako Ikeda flashing past the window. , why is something so wrong, why don’t you shout...
Everything is connected in series.
I see.
Zuoye glanced at the Maorilan trio who didn't go upstairs for some reason, quietly pulled out half of the Hammer of Justice's head, and leaned towards Takahashi.
"Ugh!"
Sure enough, on the left
Takahashi let out a muffled groan under the gentle collision.
"Excuse me."
Zuo Ye pretended not to care and apologized, then went back to his room.
There is no mistake, the bandage weirdo is Takahashi. That guy must have used a string puppet or something like that on the second floor to temporarily act as the bandage weirdo to eliminate his own suspicion.
As for Chikako Ikeda, she probably only had one head left at that time, so her expression was so stiff and she didn't make any movement.
The purpose of Takahashi's doing this was naturally to make the situation look like the bandage monster actually existed and was not someone inside the villa.
That guy probably hid Chikako Ikeda’s head in that fake belly.
Mao Lilan just came to this villa and couldn't figure out where her room was. I'm afraid that when she pushed open the door of other people's rooms recklessly, she accidentally broke the fact that Takahashi's stomach was fake, which hindered her. The other party's plan was therefore silenced.
Well, although Mao Lilan seems to have forgotten, or not noticed at all.
Well, again, Takahashi failed.
As for Takahashi's motive for killing Chikako Ikeda, Zuo Ye felt that it might have something to do with Atsuko.
When Zuo Ye was testing whether Suzuki Ayako was a monster before, he got information about this, but not much. It was probably the sixth member of the film club two years ago, a girl named Atsuko, who suddenly hanged herself. reason.
Chikako Ikeda may be involved in this matter, and Takahashi is most likely here to avenge the goddess.
...Hiss, where have you seen this setting of a fat man wearing glasses avenging a goddess?
Zuo Ye lit a cigarette and shook off those irrelevant thoughts.
Of course, the above is just Zuo Ye's conjecture without any evidence. Well, he doesn't need evidence either. He just plans to capture him on the spot.
Zuoye didn't know if there were other people present who were related to Atsuko's suicide, but what was certain was that this suspicious guy would continue to attack Mao Lilan.
And, most likely tonight.
Zuo Ye threw away the burned cigarette butt, lit another cigarette, turned off the light, sat down against the door, and stayed up all night. He was very familiar with this kind of thing, so there was no need to panic.
I don't know how much time passed, but Zuo Ye had already thrown cigarette butts on the floor. After yawning countless times, he finally heard some faint movement outside the room.
come yet.
Zuo Ye shook off the cigarette butt and instantly switched his vest to Black Death. At the same time, he also changed his special attack jacket to the outermost layer of clothing, and the mask with the word "kill" covered half of his face.
Zuoye quietly opened the door and closed it. He stood in front of Mao Lilan's room and pushed it. The door was locked. Then he pressed against the door and listened to the movement in the room.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound accompanied by the sound of wooden boards falling, and a picture emerged in Zuo Ye's mind. A bandaged man swung his ax and cracked the bed board in half.
