Chapter 51 One Wrong Step, One Wrong Step

Sonoko said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, how could Mr. Asano hold the phone and say he wants to go back to get it!"

Conan fell silent.

He knew what Mr. Asano was like, he was smart and more observant than most. There is only one explanation for this situation, that is, Mr. Asano discovered some information about the murderer, and planned to take his mobile phone back to investigate under the pretext.

Even, maybe the murderer was following them at that time, and he deliberately stayed away from them in order to prevent Yuanzi and Xiaolan from being hurt. Then in the process of confronting the murderer, he was attacked by the murderer who became angry.

The more Conan thought about it, the more he felt that Xinfan might have been killed.

But the "dead" Xin Fan had just returned to the basement from outside the villa. If he sabotages secretly, with Conan's brains, the case will definitely be solved soon, and he must be prepared to continue to pretend to be dizzy and wait for other people's rescue.

...

Conan was thinking all the way back to the villa. What did Mr. Asano discover to suspect the murderer? At that time, the murderer probably hadn't started killing people. What kind of information could make the murderer couldn't help but attack him?

Did Mr. Asano mention anything?

Conan thought carefully about every conversation he had with Xinfan, and then found that someone seemed to be paying attention to strange points all the time.

For example, he once mentioned that Ryoichi Takahashi seems to be fatter than he imagined, Mr. Asano once saw Ryoichi Takahashi changing clothes in the room, so he must have a basis for such doubts!

There is also the "Blue Kingdom" by Chikako Ikeda that Mr. Asano has specially emphasized. What is hidden in this book?

Conan stared closely at Ryoichi Takahashi who was walking ahead, and in his mind, a criminal model gradually formed. Now the most critical evidence is missing.

As for the person who attacked Mr. Asano and killed Chikako Ikeda, including the motive, he already had mature guesses about these things.

However, if the murderer really committed the crime according to the method he thought, there is one place that should not be handled this way. Is it the murderer's mistake, or is there a problem with his reasoning?

"Ah! What is that? Is it Mr. Asano?" Mao Lilan exclaimed suddenly.

Conan immediately looked in the direction of her finger, and there was a figure wrapped in black cloth lying on the open space outside the villa. The body was very human-sized.

"No, no." Hiroki Kadotani retorted, "Mr. Asano is wearing a white shirt, not a black coat. And this look, don't you think it looks like a bandage weirdo?"

"Ah... what you said is really similar. Could it be that we have finally found the bandage man??" Ota Katsuki walked over quickly, he took a deep breath, and still mustered up the courage to push the body.

However: "So light!"

The body turned to the front, and now everyone could see clearly that it was indeed the bandage weirdo's attire. But the state of the body is a bit strange.

"This... seems to be a dummy!"

"The bandage monster that has been causing fear all this time is just a prop??"

Everyone turned suspicious eyes to Ryoichi Takahashi. After all, Ryoichi Takahashi was the best at making props in the film research society back then.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Conan quickly rushed into the villa, he was going to find evidence that could prove his idea!

"You...what are you all looking at me for?" Although he panicked the moment he saw the Bandage Man, Takahashi Ryoichi still had to keep calm, "How could I do such a boring prank?! "

"Who else could it be if it's not you?" Kakutani Hiroki's eyes were red with anger, "Tell me! Did you kill Chikako too?!"

"No! How can you think that way??" Ryoichi Takahashi panicked completely, "Why did I kill Ikeda! We are obviously friends!"

What the hell is going on here? How could his seamless plan be ruined like this? Why is everyone looking at him like a murderer now? What went wrong? It shouldn't, it shouldn't be like this! !

"Okay, okay." In the end, Suzuki Ayako stood up and said, "Let's go in first. In this situation where the murderer is unknown, it will be safer for everyone to stay together. After calling the police tomorrow morning, everything will be clear. gone."

"Hmph, I don't want to go with the murderer!"

Takahashi Ryoichi followed in with a gloomy face and lowered head.

And in the villa, Conan has already found what he wants.

Sure enough! The level of the murderer this time is too low to show such a tell, so don't blame him for being rude!

"Xiaolan, Xiaolan, Xiaolan..." Conan muttered silently, and raised the dial to Mao Lilan, "I'm sorry, Xiaolan!"

"call out--"

Mao Lilan just lowered her head, and the anesthesia needle shot into Yuanzi's neck.

"Ah... ah..." Yuanzi's footsteps immediately faltered, she swayed, and suddenly fell down on the seat with her back facing everyone.

"The garden!"

"I'm so sorry." Sonoko's voice sounded from the restaurant, "I already know who the murderer is, and I also know exactly how he killed Ms. Chikako Ikeda."

"Eh!!"

"Sono, Sonoko." Ota Katsuki asked, "Who is the murderer? Is it really Takahashi?"

In fact, except for Hiroki Kakutani, who is secretly in love with Chikako Ikeda, other people have very little suspicion of Takahashi, and they are even unwilling to believe that Takahashi will kill Chikako Ikeda.

"Sonoko" did not directly answer Ota Katsuki's question, but eloquently said: "We all saw Miss Ikeda flashing past the window, and we also saw the bandage monster's props that fell outside the villa just now. I think , The murderer’s plan at the beginning was to use piano wires to bind the bandage man and Miss Ikeda together and sweep them out of the window, so that everyone would think that the murderer was the bandage man who had been staying in the woods.”

"But the murderer didn't expect that there would be an accident in his carefully planned method. The weird bandage fell off, so we only saw the head of Ms. Chikako Ikeda in the villa."

"His mistake is that he still wanted to continue to carry out the original plan at this time, and brought his head into the woods, pretending that Ms. Chikako Ikeda was killed in the woods."

"And there is only one person who can do the above things, and that is Mr. Takahashi Ryoichi who was staying on the second floor at that time!!"

Kadotani Hiroki immediately wanted to beat Takahashi Ryoichi angrily: "It really is you!!"

"Don't be kidding!" Ryoichi Takahashi retorted, "This is just your guess. The dummy may also be a prop deliberately made by the Bandage Monster to confuse the view, right?"
