The villa is located in an undeveloped and remote area in the suburbs, and is surrounded by dense maple forests, so everyone's mobile phones are in a state of no signal here. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, of course, this point is difficult for the wealthy Suzuki consortium. When the villa was first built, the designers took this situation into account, and although they cut corners on building materials and furniture and appliances were all bargains, the Suzuki Foundation set up a fixed telephone communication line for this villa.

For a billionaire like Shiro Suzuki, whose worth fluctuates by millions of dollars every minute, he would never allow himself to be isolated. If you are unable to receive or send important news at a critical time, it will have a great impact on the entire Tokyo and even the Japanese economy.

After accepting Kakutani's suggestion to call the police, everyone gathered in front of the landline telephone in the living room on the first floor.

Ayako, the owner of the villa, picked up the landline phone and put the phone receiver to her ear, but there was only a continuous "busy tone" in the phone.

"The phone doesn't work. Ayako put down the phone in her hand and told everyone about the situation, "It's strange, this call is fine at noon!"

"Could it be...... That bandage freak broke the line, didn't he?" guessed Takahashi's voice trembling.

People tend to have an unusual fear of the unknown, and Takahashi is no exception, and the more he thinks about it, the more scared he becomes.

"Wow, ah!" Takahashi's patience reached the point, and he lunged out of the house like crazy.

"Takahashi, Takahashi, calm down......" Everyone saw Takahashi's appearance and followed out.

Not far from running out of the house, everyone saw Takahashi standing by the suspension bridge in front of the villa.

When they looked closer, they realized that the suspension bridge had somehow broken.

"The suspension bridge is so dilapidated, it may be a natural break!" Ota said with an explanation that even he didn't believe.

The richer the person, the more he cherishes his life, how could the Suzuki Foundation make such a low-level mistake?

However, in order to calm everyone's already very nervous feelings, Ota still said this rotten reason.

"No! someone deliberately broke it!" A discordant voice made everyone's slightly soothing nerves tense again, and Conan, who was in the limelight, ignored everyone's emotions, he pointed to the pillar that fixed the drawbridge and said: "Look, these two pillars that bind the rope of the drawbridge have obvious traces left by sharp weapons!"

"Yes...... It's him, it must be that bandage freak!" Takahashi thought of the closest thing to the truth, and at the same time the worst outcome.

"Cut, what kind of bandage weirdo, it's so boring!" The only calm person among the crowd is Zhijiazi, as a screenwriter, she has seen more bizarre things than this, so she said nonchalantly: "In my opinion, whether it is Xiaolan being attacked, the telephone line not working, or the broken suspension bridge, it must be that person who is fooling us and trying to scare us to have fun." ”

"People are ready to play our pull!" After speaking, Zhijiazi walked back to the villa.

If it is a normal situation, the well-informed Chikako speculates that there is nothing wrong with it. It's a pity that she doesn't know Conan, the "cursed detective", and anyone who underestimates the "godson of death" will have to pay the price.

The drizzle outside the house continued, and everyone stood in front of the drawbridge and looked at each other, and Ayako knew that nothing would come of standing like this, so she led the group back to the villa.

"Well, anyway, you have to climb a mountain to meet other people's houses when you walk from here, and it's too late, and it's raining outside the house, so we can only wait for tomorrow morning to go down the mountain together." ”

After returning to the villa, everyone is ready to go back to the room to tidy up their rain-soaked clothes before heading to the restaurant for dinner.

Ayako returned to the villa in one step due to the late Chikako, and when she returned to the corridor on the second floor of the villa, she saw Chikako holding a letter in her hand, and her expression was a little panicked.

Zhijiazi found Ayako walking towards her, she immediately put away the letter in her hand, and said to Ayako with an unnatural expression: "I, I rested first, but somehow, I feel a little tired, so I won't eat dinner." ”

Ayako felt that something was wrong, but she knew how to read words and feelings, and she understood that everyone had their own secrets, so she didn't bother Jikako again.

As the owner of the villa, Ayako also has to prepare dinner for everyone, so she didn't pay attention to Zhijiazi's unusual behavior.

Although Japan is now a developed country, it has inherited the fine tradition of "gentlemen stay away from cooking".

Without Chikako, there are only three girls left in the entire villa, and Xiaolan and Sonoko inevitably need to help Ayako prepare dinner.

"Xiaolan, I'm so sorry, I still have to ask you to help. Ayako mixed the vegetable salad in her hand and said politely to Xiaolan.

"It's nothing, I do a lot of housework at home. Xiaolan put the cutlery on the table, but the image of her father cleaning up empty beer cans came to mind.

Ready for dinner, Ayako put down the last dish, looked at the table full of delicacies, and sighed, "Really, a good party made it like this." ”

"Is it because of Atsuko's business?" Conan really didn't open any pot, and he didn't notice Xiaolan's constant glances at him, signaling him not to talk too much. Conan was still curious and asked, "What happened 2 years ago?"

"2 years ago...... Atsuko she ...... ...... killed herself," Ayako said in a hesitant voice, apparently unwilling to recall the unpleasant experience.

Later, from Ayako's intermittent words, Conan learned that Atsuko and the five Ayako were good friends of the Film Research Society before, but one day Atsuko suddenly hanged herself, and the specific reason for the suicide Ayako is not clear.

Time passed inadvertently, and while talking and talking, Ayako and the others prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Kakutani and Ota arrive at the restaurant together, and they find themselves in front of their seats with a beautifully wrapped gift box. Kakutani picked up the gift box and asked the crowd, "What is this?"

"It's a gift from Takahashi, and it's the latest diet food developed by their food company. He also said that eating this can have a slimming effect, but looking at his figure, I am skeptical about the efficacy of this food. Sonoko explained to Kadoya.

"What about Takahashi? Dinner is ready, why don't you see him yet, when I used to go to college, he would run to the cafeteria before the last class in the morning. Kakutani held the camera and filmed the delicious food on the table as he spoke.

"I'm here. Takahashi's voice came from the second floor, "I'm repairing the roof, you are not allowed to eat first!"

"Hurry up, the food is going to be cold. After Kakutani finished speaking, he raised the camera again to take pictures of Xiaolan and Yuanzi.

A youthful high school girl with a table of hearty and delicious food. This situation and this scene are in line with the words "beautiful and delicious".

Just as Takahashi was about to turn around and go downstairs to have dinner with everyone, he inadvertently caught a strange figure out of the corner of his eye.

"Who—who's downstairs?" Takahashi said in a high-pitched voice and shouted to the people on the ground floor, "There's someone next to the window downstairs!"

When Takahashi shouted like this, everyone immediately focused their attention on the floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor directly below Takahashi.

I saw a figure of "brush" flashing, and the people on the ground floor could only barely rely on the visual delay that stayed on the retina, and recognized that it was the bandage weird who had made people panic before, and the weirdo was hurrying quickly with his black cloak wrapped in only his face.

"Yes...... It's a bandage freak!" Ota reacted immediately, but he only reminded everyone of what was going on.

"Oh my God, why is he holding Zhijiazi. Ayako stood at the end of the crowd screaming, the subtext of her words being for the others to see what was going on, while she stayed in the safest room at the moment and waited for news.

"Wisdom ...... Chikako. Kakutani, who had the most affection for Chikako among the people, rushed to the window with an arrow, but pushed open the window but couldn't see the figure of the strange man who jumped up.

"It's so dark, and it's raining, and it's affecting my vision, and I don't know where this bandage weirdo has gone. Ota analyzed, although his tone was anxious, but his body just followed Kakutani to look out of the house.

"That's terrible. "I don't know if he will do anything to Jikako!"

Everyone speculated wildly, but no one was the first to take the first step in pursuit.

At the critical moment, it was our protagonist Conan who stepped forward, picked up a flashlight in the corner of the house, quickly flipped out of the window, and chased out of the maple forest where the bandage monster disappeared in three steps and two steps.

"Okay, let's go with the little ghost, and the girls lock the doors and windows, and stay in the house and don't wander around. ”

Seeing that he was robbed of the limelight by the little ghost, Ota finally couldn't help it, he looked at the corner of his eyes, and motioned for the two to chase him out together.

Don't think that Ota was carried away by the blood, long before he decided to chase it out, Ota had already figured out the powerful relationship in his heart: "In this case, if I don't chase it, then others will definitely despise it afterwards." Even if something happens outside, I'm not more worried. Because I don't need to run faster than that bandage weirdo, just run faster than the little imp and I'm safe!"

Before leaving, Ota did not forget to shout to Takahashi on the second floor: "Takahashi, what are you still doing there! ”

On the one hand, Ota's purpose in saying this is to divert everyone's attention and make everyone forget Conan, who has just come out of the limelight. On the other hand, Takahashi is in stark contrast to himself.

The most important thing is that at the same time as Ota's words, time has "inadvertently" passed a little. This makes it impossible for the bandage freak, who could have caught up, not to catch up at the moment.

"Takahashi, hurry up, swallow slowly!" Ota followed Conan unhurriedly with the mobile phone in his hand that had been adjusted to flashlight mode.

Ota's words sounded like blaming Takahashi, but they were actually reminding Conan, "We still have a pig-like teammate here, so you should slow down!"

According to Ota's estimate, the result of this pursuit of the bandage monster will eventually end with no clues. Just as he was thinking about how to find an excuse to go back to the villa, he saw an astonishing scene.

What caught my eye was a human calf that had been amputated from the knee, the blood from the severed limb mixed with the rain was still flowing out, and the foot of the severed leg was wearing a shoe, the same style as the one worn by Jikako today.

"Could it be???......? Already?" Kakutani had prepared for the worst in his heart, but he didn't dare to continue thinking about it at all.

"Uhh......hhh There's another hand here!" Not far from the broken foot, Takahashi found another broken arm.

Seeing such a terrifying scene, Ota suggested to everyone: "Then, let's go and find it separately!"

"No way!" Conan objected as soon as Ota finished speaking, "If we separate, everyone will be in danger." ”

"Che, do you think you know that there will be danger? Your suggestion is the best solution for everyone, but from a personal point of view, everyone can have the best chance of saving their lives if they are separated. At that time, as long as I return to the vicinity of the villa, there will be no danger when the time comes. Ota hated Conan in his heart, but he still made a serious search on his face.

After everyone searched for a while, they found that Chikako's person was still the closest to her.

Kakutani found Chikako lying on the grass, he quickly stepped forward and hugged Chikako and said, "Chikako, what's wrong with you, wake up!"

But then an unexpected scene happened, when Kakutani hugged Chikako, Chikako's head was completely cut off from her neck, apparently dead that she couldn't die anymore.

Seeing the tragic death of Zhijiazi, everyone was palpitating. Conan, the only one who could keep his composure, was helpless because the rain had destroyed all the evidence of his surroundings.

Even with his superb reasoning skills, Conan is powerless in this situation.

Due to the haste of chasing the bandage monster, the crowd did not carry the tools containing the corpse with them. Returning to the villa with a few pieces of broken corpses does nothing other than scare the remaining girls, and no one wants to be a porter of corpses.

So, under the unanimous silence of everyone, Zhijiazi's body was placed in the wild. The reason, of course, is to assist the police in solving the case, and the body cannot be moved at will.

Before leaving, Kakutani thought about it, but took off his coat and put it on Jikako's body, which can be regarded as the last thing to do for the old love.

After returning to the villa, Kakutani endured his grief and told the others who stayed at the villa about Tomoko's death.

"It's all my fault, if only I hadn't held this party......" Hearing the news of Chikako's death, Ayako was the first to cry.

How much of her tears was saddened by Chikako's death, or saddened that the villa was about to become a murderous mansion and could not rise in price, only she knew best.

"It's not your fault, no one expected this to happen. Kakutani didn't forget to comfort Ayako when her heart ached, "In the final analysis, the culprit of this incident is the weirdo with bandages on his face!"
