Chapter 22: The Perverted Murderer

After playing a few cards, Yuichi, who was sitting in the living room, found that Ayako had come down alone from the second floor, and Yuichi, who was a little strange, threw away the cards in his hand and asked.

"Ayako? How did you come down alone? What about Jikako? ”

"She said she was suddenly feeling a little unwell! I wanted to lie down in the bedroom alone, thinking that it might be difficult for Xiaolan to cook with a few people, so I told her to lock the door and come down by herself. ”

"Suddenly uncomfortable? What a coincidence! ”

"That's it! What a woman! I really think of myself as a character! If she hadn't been stalking in college, how could I have agreed to be the leading actor in the Electric Research Society? As a result of graduation! Hum! A slut of watery poplar! Hearing Yuichi open his mouth to question Chikako's strange behavior, as if he had found an alliance, he threw the cards in his hand on the coffee table, and Ota, who had a cigarette in his mouth, exploded.

"Oh? Tomoko pestered you during college, Ota! So did she ever pursue you? Or have you ever been in love? Kakutani, who felt that he had discovered the news, was not on the cards, so he threw away the cards in his hand and asked quietly.

"What? Do you want to fry the scandal of Ji Jiazi? Kakutani! You guy, you just chased her and asked her to give you inside information! I'm going to sell her in the blink of an eye, you newsmakers! It's a loss! ”

"What is a scandal! I'm just interviewing you, I'm not one of those lacy tabloid reporters! I'm an editor! ”

"Cut! Is there any difference? ”

Ignoring Kakutani and Ota, who started debating because of this matter, after inquiring with Ayako about the location of Chikako's room, Yuichi, who still had doubts in his heart, came to the second floor alone.

"Chikako? Are you there? There's something I'd like to talk to you about! Are you there? After identifying the room, Yuichi stood at Jikako's door and knocked on it.

However, to Yuichi's surprise, there was no one in Tomoko's room, who had just told Ayako that she was uncomfortable. Yuichi, who felt that things might change, couldn't help but raise his voice, "Chikako! Are you there? Answer me! If you don't speak, for your safety! I'm going to bang on the door! Chikako! ”

It's a pity that no matter how loud Yuichi is, Jikako's door still hasn't opened, and Yuichi, who knows that he can't continue to wait, takes a few steps back, takes a deep breath, and slams into the door.

"Boom!" As the door lock was knocked off, Chikako's room was completely displayed in Yu's eyes.

"Zhijiazi really has a problem! But is she the bandage man? Or is she the target of the bandage man? Just when Yu was sure of his speculation at the beginning, Ota and the others downstairs also exclaimed. Hearing their exclamations, Yuichi immediately turned around and ran downstairs.

"Brother Youyi! The bandage man has appeared! He just flew through the window of the living room and he took Chikako with him! We've all seen it! Seeing Yuki coming, Ota immediately ran to Yuichi as if he had found a savior, pointed to the window of the living room next to him and stammered a description.

"The bandage man kidnapped Jikako?" Just when Youyi heard the news, Conan, who was originally serving food to the living room, had already opened the door with a flashlight and chased out, and he would never forgive the bastard who hurt Xiaolan, and Xiaolan, who was worried about Conan, didn't care about being afraid of chasing him out in the rain. Following the garden, Ayako, Kakutani and others also ran out.

"Ota! Takahashi! Let's go too! ”

"Huh? Brother Youyi! Do I have to go too? ”

"Of course! When this happens, no one can be left alone! What if the bandage man turns the tiger away from the mountain and comes back while we go out to chase him? Thinking of his speculation, how could Yuichi, who had already set his suspicions on Takahashi, leave him alone at home.

Looking at the gaze that Kazuichi Ota placed on him downstairs, Takahashi, who was standing upstairs, hurriedly ran down from the upper floor.

Running towards the outside of the villa with the two of them, looking for Conan and their lights when they came to the woods outside the villa again, Conan and the others, who were one step ahead of them, had already made a major discovery, and found one of Zhijiazi's right legs in the garden that swept casually in the grass, which made her still tremble in place under Xiaolan's support.

"Have you been killed?" Looking at his thighs in high heels in the mud, Yuichi's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Ahh Brother Youyi! Look! This is? Chikako's hand? ”

"Ahh Another leg! ”

"Brother Youyi! Head! Jikako's head fell off her body! ”

Listening to the constant reports around him, Yuichi's face became more and more gloomy, especially after hearing Takahashi's report that he had found Chikako's head, and remembering that Yuichi's face was almost cloudy and could drip ink from his previous deduce.

After hastily surveying the scene, putting the rubber gloves he was carrying on his hands and disposing of Jikako's body, Yuichi took the lead in returning to the villa.

"Huh? This is? Chikako's necklace? Why is it on the entrance of the villa? "Yuichi, who was the first to return to the villa, was standing at the wet doorway to change his shoes when he suddenly found a clue on the ground at the entrance. He had no clue for the time being, put away the necklace and changed his shoes and returned to the living room, and then the others also returned to the living room, although Ayako's craftsmanship was very good, but everyone sitting in the living room had no appetite. When something like this happens, no one knows if the bandage man will continue to kill, and if he does, who will be next?

After a few hasty bites, Yuichi, who went to Chikako's room to look for clues, left the living room, but he asked everyone to stay in the living room in case they were attacked alone. Conan, who has a very tacit understanding, also excused himself to be very interested in reasoning after eating a few bites, and maybe he can help Brother Youyi. After a few steps, I chased after it.

After coming to the room of Chikako, who had been killed, Yuichi, who had basically identified the murderer, looked at Conan who closed the door with a gloomy face and took the lead in saying, "It should be him!" At that time, you were in the kitchen, Kakutani and Ota were playing cards with me in the living room, Ayako and Tomokako were in this room, and he was the only one alone! My reasoning is not wrong, this incident should be related to Atsuko who committed suicide two years ago, according to Ayako's recollection, it was Tomokako and Takahashi who were close to Atsuko at that time! Others are just friends with fellow members. It's just that what confuses me is why he attacked Xiaolan! ”

"Assault on Xiaolan? Maybe Xiaolan saw something that shouldn't be seen, he wanted to kill people! But after not succeeding, I was afraid that Zhijiazi would be alert, so I immediately changed the target and killed Zhijiazi! But what secret did Xiaolan discover about him? What makes him so impatient to do it? Conan, who heard Yuichi's words, no longer sells cuteness, and immediately enters the state of detective, and analyzes along this line of thought.

"Secret? That's right! When I came back, I found this in the hallway! I was not in the living room at the time of the crime, Conan, you recall, when the bandaged man swept in front of the window with Zhijiazi, the necklace was not around Zhijiazi's neck. Seeing that Conan didn't have any thoughts, Yuichi Qiang couldn't resist the desire to borrow the detective system and took out the necklace to ask, this kind of bastard who dared to do things under his nose, he must catch it himself.
