Panic is useless.

In a desperate situation, only by being calm can we find a way out.

The group returned to the villa and sat down at the table, restless.

Because it is deep in the mountains and old forests, there is no signal on ordinary mobile phones.

It was precisely because of this that the bandage freak was able to cut off the telephone line and the drawbridge with confidence.

Merely....

"I have a satellite phone in my bag."

Sakaki picked up his backpack and took out his phone from it.

At the same time, he was also silently observing the changes in everyone's expressions.

In fact, there are no satellite phones at all.

When he said this, he was just observing the reactions of the crowd.

When a normal person hears that there is a satellite phone, the expression that subconsciously reveals is absolutely pleasantly surprised.

But the prisoners are different....

Really.

The moment Sakaki Makoto took out his mobile phone, everyone's expressions changed significantly.

Moriran, the Suzuki sisters, and Chikako Ikeda's eyes widened slightly, and they were excited and excited when they were surprised.

Not a prisoner, excluded.

Conan was shocked and a little suspicious....

However, he was by his side at the time of the crime, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would be affected by the pond fish, so the suspicion was not great....

Undetermined.

The remaining Ryoichi Takahashi and photographer Hiroki Kakutani ....

The pupils are slightly dilated and the bridge of the nose is wrinkled.

This expression lasted only for a moment.

"That's great, Mr. Sakaki!"

Photographer Hiroki Kadotani got up excitedly:

"It's really a great detective, and he even carries a satellite phone with him!"

"Then let's call the police quickly!"

Glancing at him, Sakaki pressed the dial button:

"Hello?"

"Dusk Police, yes, yes, it's me."

After saying the specific address, Sakaki put away the phone and said lightly:

"Because of the rain, it took three hours for the police to arrive."

"In the meantime, I advise everyone not to leave the hall."

"I'm going back to my room to get something."

Chikako Ikeda suddenly stood up.

"The roof hasn't been repaired yet..."

Ryoichi Takahashi also stood up.

"The camera battery is also running out, so I have to go back to my room and get a spare battery."

Hiroki Kakutani pointed to the camera and said:

"And Katsu Ota, it's not safe to leave him alone in the room."

Seeing that the three of them did not cooperate, Sakaki Cheng could only helplessly say:

"Go and get back."

"Don't leave the villa."

Based on the inference just now, Sakaki Makoto was not sure if the bandage monster was disguised by one of the people in the villa.

But this is very likely.

There was a serious lack of clues, and he couldn't use profiling, and could only judge by the small movements of the crowd.

After all....

He didn't even know what the bandage freak looked like.

"Do you really have a satellite phone?"

After the three of them left, Conan asked secretly.

"Nope."

"Then why did you call the police?"

"I didn't call the police."

Sakaki smiled and said:

"It's all acting just now, and it's for you to see."

"Huh?!"

Conan's eyes widened:

"If the police didn't come after three hours, wouldn't it be exposed?"

"Rest assured...."

took out the cigarette case, lit a cigarette, and said quietly:

"Prisoners don't wait for the police to come..."

"If you're okay, go follow Chikako Ikeda."

"I can't say for sure the bandage freak is one of us yet, but..."

Sakaki Makoto, who spit out the smoke ring and played with the cigarette case, said:

"The prisoner's target must be one of us."

"Isn't he targeting you?"

Conan scratched his head, and suddenly his body shook, and he reacted:

"What do you mean..."

"Looks like you've got it."

Sakaki nodded with a smile.

It was the first time he and the people in the villa had met, there was no grievance in the past, and there was no enmity in the near future, and the other party had no motive at all.

If the bandage freak is an outsider, then he should also use a gun, after all, the people he provokes are not idle people.

But since the prisoner was going to kill him, it was proved....

The real goal is someone else.

Killing Sakaki Makoto is just a preparation before committing the crime.

Conan took an arrow step and rushed up to the second floor to find Chikako Ikeda.

Sakaki didn't leave the hall, he wanted to use his body as bait to seduce the prisoner.

Two minutes passed quickly.

"Oh no!"

Conan's head poked out from the second-floor fence, a little out of breath:

"Ikeda, Chikako Ikeda is not in the room!"

"What?"

Sakaki snuffs out the cigarette butt and leaves the window:

"Have you found the bathroom?"

"The first thing I went to was the bathroom!"

After saying this, Conan suddenly covered his mouth.

He...

It seems that something has been exposed....

"It's broken!"

Sakaki scolded and rushed out of the hall to begin looking for Chikako Ikeda in the villa.

If I'm not mistaken...

The prisoner's target is her!

Several people from Maolilan also joined the search army, and even Hiroki Kakutani came out of the room and asked suspiciously:

"What's wrong?"

"Chikako is gone!"

Ayako Suzuki was so anxious that she was about to cry:

"There's a bad guy out there!"

Hiroki Kakutani didn't say a word, and began to look for it.

Soon, Sakaki found the slippers that Tomoko Ikeda was wearing at the back door.

At the entrance of the back door, there is a lot of wet mud all over the place.

Proof that someone passed by here after it rained.

And outside the back door....

It's the night forest where you can't see your fingers.

The villa has been searched, but no Chikako Ikeda has been found, and according to the slippers in the back door, the answer is already coming out.

Chikako Ikeda didn't listen to his advice and left the villa without permission!

"Damn it!"

"Miss Maori, don't come along!"

Sakaki Cheng rushed out of the door, and rushed out without hitting the umbrella.

In his heart,

Have a bad premonition....

The forest on a rainy night is damp and cold, and the wind is blowing.

The water droplets that fall from the head from time to time are cold and piercing, making people shudder.

Click!

Click!

Click!

"What sound?"

Conan looked around.

Sakaki's face changed slightly.

He heard it, it was....

The muffled sound of the blade touching flesh and bones!

It's like the pig dealers in the market, their non-stop swinging bone chopping knives!

The only people who left the villa with Makoto Sakaki were Conan and Hiroki Kakutani.

The three of them followed the sound, brushed aside the bushes in front of them, and in the darkness....

A man in a cloak and a kappa hat covered in bandages was holding an axe aloft, on which a little scarlet blood was mixed with rain, and there were a few wisps of it....

Pork.

At his feet, a scattered corpse, quietly subjected to the chopping.

"Chikako !!"

Hiroki Kakutani rushed out with red eyes.

The bandage freak turned around, noticed that he had been spotted, and ran away.

Bang!

A gunshot broke the silent rainy night.

The bandaged freak, who had barely escaped a few steps, staggered to the ground, clutched his right leg and let out a miserable howl.

Sakaki didn't even have the idea of checking whether Chikako Ikeda was alive or dead.

Someone was chopped to pieces with an axe, and he was still indifferent....

It can only be a corpse.

The bandage freak gripped his axe and struggled to his feet, trying to resist stubbornly.

Bang bang bang!

Sakaki did not hesitate to reward him with three more bullets.

Just when Makoto Sakaki was going to kill the other party with one shot....

Conan rushed up and hugged him:

"Can't be killed!"

"It's not worth putting yourself in!"
