Takahashi Ryo half knelt on the ground, his hand kept groping on the ground, and soon grabbed a dead branch.

He picked up the sharp branch, and his fierce gaze locked on the long-haired girl with tears in the corners of her eyes.

It is true that he has no grievances with Maolilan, but unfortunately, when he was changing clothes today, the other party strayed into his room and saw his real figure.

- He's nowhere near as fat as he looks, and he doesn't have a beer belly.

And in Ryoichi Takahashi's murder plan, once this point is exposed, his carefully designed trap is likely to be discovered.

In order not to expose yourself...... I can only kill her!

Mao Lilan was originally frightened by the shape of the bandage man. At this moment, seeing that the other party raised her weapon, she was even more scared, and hugged Suzuki Sonoko tremblingly, her legs weak.

Conan quickly dodged in front of them and raised his wrists.

Unaware of the offensive effect of his watch, Maorilan only saw Conan within range of the bandage man's attack, a move that frightened her into the sky and her desire to protect her.

Ryoichi Takahashi was about to stab him with a stick, but suddenly saw Mao Lilan with his eyes closed, shouted angrily, and raised his leg to kick.

A girl with petite strength has no attack power at all - Ryoichi Takahashi originally thought so.

But just as he wanted to grab Maolilan's ankle and slam the person to the ground, something similar to his sixth sense made him give up the idea, and he turned sideways without reluctance.

Boom –

The heels of the girl's shoes brushed his black robe and dug into the nearby tree. With a click, the tree that couldn't be held by one was kicked out of a deep hole.

A gust of mountain wind blew, and Ryoichi Takahashi watched with a blank face as the tree broke from the middle and slowly fell to the side: "......"

After Mao Lilan kicked this kick, he finally couldn't hold it up, and sat down on the ground in fear, thinking desperately, it's over.

However, after waiting for a while, the bandage man did not continue to attack.

Mauriran mustered up the courage to look up and saw the bandage man throw away the branch, turn and run, and quickly escape into the darkness ahead.

“…… Huh? Moriran didn't know what was going on, she looked at Suzuki Sonoko, and Suzuki Sonoko looked at her, both of them with the joy of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe in their eyes.

By this time, Conan had already shouted "Stop!" He quickly chased after him.

"Conan! Wait a minute! Maolilan shouted, of course he didn't stop.

Worried that the child would be in danger, she forced herself to stand up and ran after Conan.

Conan has developed motor nerves, but after all, his height is there, and he can't outrun the frightened Takahashi Ryoichi at all, so he can only watch the other party flee in the direction of the villa, and the distance between the two sides continues to widen.

With the occasional flash of lightning, Conan gritted his teeth and chased after the prisoner, but as he passed a clump of overgrown weeds, he stumbled on something and fell into the dead leaves and dirt.

Conan scrambled to his feet, straightened his glasses, and turned to look at the grass behind him.

Just as a flash of lightning swept through the sky, a flash of lightning illuminated a figure among the grass. The man lay motionless on the ground, as quiet as if dead.

Mao Lilan, who was chasing after him, also happened to see this scene.

She froze for two seconds, and a buzz buzzed in her head...... Yes, there are dead people!

"Ah!!h

Suzuki Sonoko ran over with his hind feet, and as soon as the flashlight shone on the figure on the ground, there was a sudden exclamation in the woods.

Conan's face was also solemn.

Although it is not known why there are dead people in the woods, it looks like a premeditated murder - the deceased is still wrapped in a layer of plastic wrap. I don't know if it was to facilitate the transfer of the body, or if it was to confuse the time of death.

So...... The murderer was the bandage man just now?

The bandage man attacked them because he thought they had seen the scene of the murder and wanted to kill them?

A series of self-justifying assumptions popped into Conan's head, and then he crouched down, lit the flashlight on his watch, and approached to check.

Seeing the "deceased" illuminated by the beam, Conan was slightly stunned, but he was still an acquaintance?

“…… O my law!! ”

Suzuki Sonoko next to her held her face and let out a heartbroken exclamation, tears welled up in her eyes, and then she threw herself on Shiraishi like the heroine of a tragic movie, and cried for a while.

After a few seconds, she raised her head in a daze, and pressed her hand twice on Baishi's chest: "How do you seem to ...... Have a heartbeat? ”

“！？”

Conan was shocked, he hurriedly squatted down, uncovered the plastic wrap, and reached out to press Shiraishi's neck.

The blood vessels are beating energetically...... It's really alive!

And when I looked closer, I found that what Shiraishi was wearing didn't seem to be plastic wrap - it specifically left openings on the face, as well as sleeves and hems, which was ...... A rudimentary disposable raincoat?

Conan finally realized that he seemed to have been limited by his habitual thinking and made a wrong judgment.

He silently raised the flashlight, shone it again, and found that Baishi's body was also quite clean, there was no blood at all, and there was no external injury.

"It's really alive...... It's possible that it's just a sudden illness and fell here, don't press him, it's easy to cause secondary damage. ”

Conan lifted his glasses a little embarrassed and pulled Suzuki Sonoko up, "Anyway, let's move people back first." ”

……

Bringing the person back to the villa and throwing it on the sofa, a group of people gathered around and studied it for a while, but still did not find any wounds, nor could they wake the person up.

"It's just a normal sleep." Suzuki Ayako brought a towel, put it on Shiraishi's face and rubbed it twice, wiped the rain off, and didn't take it too seriously:

Shiraishi often fell asleep during class, and the professor would try to call him at first, but he couldn't wake up. Later, the old gentleman checked the information and said that it might be some rare disease, so he didn't care about him anymore. ”

"And this disease?" Tomokako Ikeda muttered to herself, "You professors just think that the student sleeps during class, which makes him very shameful, so find yourself a step down." ”

Conan listened silently beside him, and he agreed more with Ayako Suzuki's statement.

If this is really the case, there is an explanation for the fact that Shiraishi suddenly fell asleep in the middle of the living room at Yoko Okino's house that day.

Was it just a coincidence......
