Chapter 409: Suspicious Cloak Man

The light rain outside the window was pouring down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Chen Xu stood in front of the window looking at the forest in the distance, and Zhiruo and Min Min stood behind him, enjoying a rare quiet time. While Ayako prepares dinner for everyone, Takahashi runs to the roof of the house, braving the light rain to repair the broken roof.

On the other side, Xiaolan was entangled by Ota.

"Miss Maori, would you like to go out for a walk with me?"

"Huh? It's raining outside, so you'll get wet when you go out, right? ā€

"It didn't rain very much, and don't you think it's a poetic thing to walk in the drizzle?" Ota grabbed Xiaolan and ran outside, "Come on, Miss Mori, let's go for a walk in the rain together." ā€

"Damn, damn man." Conan muttered resentment, and chased after them.

Xiaolan broke free of Ota's hand, "Mr. Ota, please don't do this, I have a boyfriend." ā€

Katsu Ota said indifferently, "Do you have a boyfriend?" It doesn't matter, Miss Maori, why don't you dump your boyfriend and find a new one. For example, what do you think? ā€

As he spoke, he slowly approached Xiaolan and made it look like he was going to kiss her.

Bang!

Thunder roared.

Xiaolan pretended to be frightened, pushed Ota away, and ran into the depths of the forest.

When Conan catches up, he finds that Ran is gone. He hurriedly followed the footprints to find it, but it was raining at this time, and the footprints left by Xiaolan were quickly washed away by the rain. There are only some places where the soil is relatively soft, and there are still some mud marks.

Whew.

Xiaolan ran a long distance in one go, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that she had come to the depths of the forest. She looked around, and there was no villa in sight, she was alone in the dim forest.

She was a girl after all, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared when she was alone in the forest at this time, and began to shout the names of Ota, Kakutani, Ikeda, and others, hoping to join them.

Just as she shouted and returned to the villa, a strong wind suddenly blew behind her head.

Call!

Xiao Lan instinctively dodged sideways.

The man with the axe cloak appeared in front of her, and slashed her with the axe one after another.

Xiaolan is worthy of being a karate master, although the opponent's attack is very fierce, she still dodges attacks again and again. At the same time, she is also looking for opportunities to fight back.

"Sister Xiaolan!" Conan finally arrived, and he picked up a rock and smashed it at the cloaked man.

Seeing that he couldn't hurt Xiaolan for a while, the cloaked man decisively chose to retreat.

"Sister Xiaolan, are you okay? Why did that person attack you? ā€

Xiaolan was also very confused, "I don't know, I was looking for the way back, and he jumped out from behind and attacked me." Conan, it's too dangerous here, let's go back quickly. ā€

About ten minutes later, Xiaolan and Conan returned to the villa. Ota, Ikeda, and Kadoya also returned to the villa one after another.

Lan tells everyone about being attacked by the Cloaked Man and asks if they saw him when they returned.

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't see it when they came back. Takahashi said he had been making repairs on the roof and had not paid any attention to what was happening below. Ayako, on the other hand, said that she had been cooking in the kitchen, and she also did not see the cloaked man that Xiaolan had mentioned.

However, Takahashi said that when he first came to the villa, he did see a strange man wearing a cloak and a hat. After he said this, Ota and Kakutani also remembered that they had also seen the strange man near the villa.

Everyone can't help but speculate that the weird person may be someone who lives nearby.

Ayako's eyes widened, "It's simply impossible. The mountain is zoned for high-end villas, and the distance between each home is very long. The closest one to us has to climb a hill to get there.

And, even if he was a resident of another place, it would be terrifying to attack people with an axe. Maybe he's a murderer who has wandered around here, so let's call the police. ā€

Everyone thinks that Ayako has a point, so they pick up the phone and prepare to call the police.

Doodle......

Tomokako Ikeda put down the microphone in horror, "Oh no, the phone line seems to have been cut." It must have been the cloaked man who was found by Xiaolan and worried that we would call the police, so he cut the phone line. ā€

"How, how can this be?" Ayako looked a little flustered.

Takahashi suddenly rushed out of the villa and ran in the direction of the suspension bridge, "No, it's too dangerous here, I need to get out of here quickly." ā€

As soon as he ran like this, everyone's hearts were even more flustered.

Conan shouted, "The Cloaked Man is still outside, and it might be dangerous for him to run out!" He shouted as he chased out.

Chen Xu raised his eyebrows, as if he had found something, and whispered "interesting".

Zhiruo and Min Min glanced at each other and asked softly, "Master, are we going to tell Conan about this?" ā€

"No, let's just follow the original plot. Looking at it this way, there will soon be a murder. It is estimated that the case will be over as soon as tonight. All you have to do is pay attention to the magic fluctuations in the detector and find the Grim Reaper in the first place. ā€

"Master, we get it."

By the drawbridge, Takahashi stood there motionless.

When Conan and the others arrived, they found that the drawbridge had been cut down, and there were still traces of axe cutting on the pillars tied to the ropes.

"This must have been cut by the cloaked man." Kakutani said.

"This is troublesome, since it was cut from the direction of the villa, it means that the cloak man is still near the villa." Ota also expressed his opinion.

"This, this, this is terrible, the cloaked man might just be hiding in the forest." Tomoko Ikeda looked panicked.

Conan knew that he couldn't influence everyone's actions, so he pulled Xiaolan and said, "Sister Xiaolan, let's go back to the villa, it's too dangerous here." It's too late now, and I think we'll be fine as long as we go back and lock our doors and windows and don't go out at will. ā€

Xiaolan took Conan's hand, "Conan is right, the sun is about to set, let's hurry back to the villa." Tomorrow at dawn, we will go down the other side and go back. ā€

Everyone felt that Xiaolan had a point, and while watching the surrounding situation vigilantly, they quickly rushed back to the villa.

After returning to the villa, Ayako asked everyone to wait for a while, and the meal would be ready immediately.

Tomoko Ikeda said that she was not feeling well, and that she would rest in her room for a while and wait for the meal to be ready. Takahashi said that before eating, he would check the roof for any damage.

When Jikako returned to her room, she found an envelope at the door. When she opened the envelope, her face instantly became extremely ugly, and her eyes were full of panic.

Because Ayako was worried about Chikako, she deliberately followed her to the second floor and happened to see this scene. "Chikako, what's wrong with you? Your face looks very bad. ā€

Zhijiazi quickly pinched the letter paper in her hand and rubbed it a few times, "It's okay, maybe it's too stuffy in the villa, I want to go out for a walk." ā€

"However, the cloaked man may be outside, will it be dangerous for you to go out at this time?"

Tomoko didn't follow Ayako's advice and walked down the stairs directly, "I'll just walk around the villa, and I'll be fine." By the way, please keep this matter a secret for me, I don't want anyone else to know, especially that nasty Kakutani. ā€

The sun had already set, and Chikako left the villa.
