Conan doesn't like this negative approach, but the problem is that there are too few clues right now.

They didn't know anything about the bandage monster, and even the attack on Xiaolan could hardly be said whether the man had planned it in advance or on a whim, which really made Conan unable to start.

Truly...... Or it's safest to stay in the villa.

Conan thought as he subconsciously looked at the entrance. The door of the villa was wide open, just now a group of people ran in a hurry, no one thought about closing the door, looking from the inside out, only to see a cloud of darkness, a small splash of rain blown in by the wind, splashed on the door, fainting on the floor heavy water.

Conan frowned, ready to go out and call people back, if the bridge is really broken, then it's best not to continue to wander outside, the bandage weirdo has a murder weapon in his hand, even if there are many people on his side, he may hurt people.

However, before he reached the door, Conan ran into a large army head-on, including Takahashi, who ran away first, and many of the people who went out returned.

Zhijiazi wrung off the rain in her sleeves, and shook her short wet hair, with unhappiness written all over her face, "It's so unlucky, what is the quality of this bridge, fortunately it didn't break when I left." ”

Suzuki Ayako smiled bitterly and helped them bring towels, and couldn't help but maintain a sentence for their own project, "The quality of the suspension bridge should be okay......" There are a few cut marks on the bridge pillars near the villa, and the bridge is likely to have been cut by someone, and because it is broken on this side, that person is likely to be near the villa.

…… But this speculation was too scary, she didn't dare to say it, thinking that as long as the doors and windows were locked, it shouldn't be so easy for people wandering outside to break in.

Zhijiazi didn't notice her desire to speak and stopped, she only felt that her clothes were wet and sticky to her body, she walked straight to the room, and waved her hand unhappily, "Forget it, it's too late today, wait for the rain to stop tomorrow, and then go out from the back mountain together."

Ayako Suzuki nodded, and went to the kitchen to continue processing the halfway dinner, and several of her other classmates quickly walked away.

After all, they hadn't witnessed the bandage freaks attacking people, and there were no casualties at the moment, so although they were nervous, they weren't too afraid.

Chikako quickly went up to the second floor and came to her room.

She twisted the handle to open the door, and was about to go in, when she suddenly kicked something under her feet, and when she looked down, it was a letter, which fell through the crack in the door when she opened the door.

Zhijiazi picked it up suspiciously, took it apart and took a look, and then her face changed suddenly, the whole person was like a centipede splashed head-on, her usual cold expression disappeared, and her eyes were full of fear and anger for a moment.

She viciously clutched the letter into a ball, and was about to throw it to the ground, and when she stomped a few feet to vent her anger, a surprised voice suddenly sounded behind her, "Are you okay?" ”

"Who?!" , Zhijiazi didn't notice that there was anyone behind her at all, and when she was accosted, her heart beat violently, and she turned around and took a few steps back, and found that behind her was Xiaolan's brother.

…… Calm down, this is an outsider who met for the first time today, and the letter could not have been written by him. Thinking of this, Jijiazi barely calmed down.

She stared at Bai Shu for a while, and found that his expression was very calm, and there was a little worry in his eyes, in short, it didn't look like he had peeped at the letter.

Zhijiazi's hands clenched tightly behind her, pinching her palms, she quickly calmed herself down with the help of this pain, and barely squeezed out a calm and decent smile, "It's okay, thank you, I'm just a little tired all of a sudden...... Can you please tell them that you don't have to wait for me to eat dinner when you go downstairs in a moment? I want to sleep for a while. ”

"Okay." , Bai Shu nodded like an enthusiastic passerby, and when Zhijiazi returned to the room, he also turned around and walked into his room.

There are a lot of empty rooms in this villa, and as the person who is temporarily surplus, Bai Shu unceremoniously picked a place for himself.

The window of his room opened at the back of the villa, diagonally downward, right at the back door of the villa.

When Shiraki returned to the house, he locked the door, pulled a chair next to the window, and placed it against the wall.

Then he sat down on a stool, and a few minutes later he heard the sound of a door opening and closing on the second floor, and before long, there were two clicks outside—the back door had been opened.

Bai Shu opened the curtain and glanced out, and found that it was Zhijiazi who slipped out of the door in a hurry, and even forgot to bring an umbrella in a panic.

Bai Shu didn't bother to read the letter, but he knew what was written on it.

Zhijiazi is now a well-known screenwriter, her first masterpiece in the literary world is the currently released "Blue Kingdom", which made her famous when she was a student, and it can be said that it is the foundation of her current status.

…… It's just that this foundation is not very stable, because her work is copied, and the victim is the girl who committed suicide before, Atsuko.

Atsuko's dream is to be a novelist, she is indeed very talented, before the work is published, she unguarded her novel "Blue Kingdom" to Zhijiazi for tasting, Zhijiazi said that this plot is wonderful, but unfortunately the next second is mine.

Then she published "The Blue Kingdom", and since then the road has been smooth, and Atsuko, who was stolen by her creativity, couldn't stand the blow for a while and committed suicide.

Zhijiazi thought that God knew that she knew that Atsuko knew, but she never expected that Atsuko's novel was not only read to her: the note at her door just now was used by the insider as a threat to ask her to meet in the grove, otherwise the plagiarism would be exposed.

On a rainy day, I made an appointment in the grove, and I knew that it couldn't be a good thing, Zhijiazi actually dared to go to the appointment, she was really bold, probably thinking that the other party only wanted hush money.

But it's not.

Once gone, she would never be able to walk back on her own.

Shiraki looked through the rain-covered window at the eerie night scene outside, and soon after Jikako left, a ladder poked down from the side. The man in the raincoat landed quietly and chased after him along the path that Jikako had walked, dragging a heavy axe in his hand.

After his back disappeared into the forest, Shiraki got up and opened the window, stepped on the edge of the window, and was about to jump down, but he remembered something and suddenly stopped.

…… It seems that it won't be long before the murderer will lead people to the scene of Zhijiazi's dismemberment, such a little time, it shouldn't be enough for Zhijiazi's soul to climb far, he will just follow the crowd at that time, why do you have to run twice to increase your workload.

…… That's right, just to be more productive, not because you don't want to get wet in the rain and don't want to step on wet mud.

Bai Shu withdrew his feet casually, closed the window again, he picked up a towel to wipe the rain on his body, wiped the windowsill clean, then opened the door, and returned to the hall on the first floor.
