"What! Could it be that the 'bandage freak' is still alive! ”

Hearing Xiao Ai say this, Yuan Zi was immediately surprised.

"Impossible! It was wise to say it himself, he saw with his own eyes that the man with the bandage on his whole body fell off the cliff! ”

Ota Katsu couldn't help but say.

"Could it be that the 'bandage freak' deliberately made an illusion to make Mr. Wise think he is dead?"

Ayako Suzuki said worriedly.

"What?"

Hiroki Kakutani was surprised.

"It's not impossible, after all, it was so dark at the time, and it was possible to be wrong."

Katsu Ota pondered.

"Ayako, why do you think so?"

Atsuko Amamiya couldn't help but ask.

"Because Mr. Wise asked me about stunts before."

Ayako Suzuki replied, "I wonder if Mr. Akechi found out about something at the time, so that's why he asked......

Saying that, Ayako Suzuki hurriedly said:

"Anyway, it's too dangerous for Mr. Wise to be out there now! Now that Zhijiazi has had an accident, she can't let anyone else suffer an accident too! ”

"What a nuisance!"

Ota Katsu couldn't help but say:

"In that case, Takahashi and Kakutani, let's go out and find it together! The girls locked the doors and windows, and waited for us to come back! ”

"Ahh I'm going to ...... too."

Hearing shouting about himself, Ryoichi Takahashi took a step back and said in great fear.

"That's not for granted! Don't be slow! ”

Katsu Ota said loudly.

"I don't think it's right!"

Atsuko Amamiya said uneasily:

"That 'bandage freak' was able to sneak into the villa and take Chikako before, if all of you men left, leave us here, what should we do if the 'bandage freak' turns back!"

"Atsuko-sama has a point!"

After listening to Atsuko's words, Xiaolan immediately said solemnly:

"If that 'bandage monster' is really alive, then it is not safe to stay in the villa, so let's just go out and look for it together!"

Saying that, Xiaolan squatted down, looked at Xiao Ai who was crying gently, and comforted:

"It's okay, Xiao Wai. Trust Mr. Wise, he will save himself from danger even if he encounters it! ”

"En......"

After listening to Xiaolan's words, Xiao Ai, who wiped her tears with her hands, nodded.

"In that case, let's go out and find it together! Everyone, follow along, don't get separated! ”

In this regard, Ota Katsu thought about it and agreed to Xiaolan's proposal.

So, everyone first went back to the house and got dressed, then picked up a flashlight, and also found something in the villa that could be used as a weapon, and after taking it with self-defense, everyone gathered together, walked towards the woods outside the villa, and began to look for traces of Gao Yuan-

"Conan, Xiao Ai, you hold my hand, don't get separated!"

Coming to the woods, Xiaolan, who walked at the end of the line, pulled Conan and Xiao Ai with both hands respectively, and gently comforted her.

In this regard, Conan and Xiao Ai couldn't help but nod.

At the head of the line were three men, Katsu Ota, Hiroki Kakutani and Ryoichi Takahashi, of which Katsu Ota held a mop and walked in front to explore the way, while Ryoichi Takahashi held a broom in both hands and looked around with some fear.

The three people who followed behind, Amamiya Dunzi, Suzuki Ayako, and Sonoko, kept shining around with flashlights, and at the same time kept shouting Takato's name in their mouths, hoping to get a response.

In this way, everyone started from the villa and slowly went all the way to the warehouse.

But because everyone gathers in one place, the efficiency of the search is very slow, and gradually, the expression of the leader Ota Katsu begins to become anxious-

"Damn, there's no way to find it like this, the woods here are too big...... And what if the bandaged man, after being discovered by the wise man, has been chased out of this place and turned over the back mountain? ”

"yes."

After listening to Ota's words, Ryoichi Takahashi couldn't help but answer:

"That wise gentleman is a detective. Since he will choose to chase out, he should also have some preparations, maybe we don't have to worry about his safety, maybe the 'bandage weird' is being chased and running! If that's the case, if we look for him like this, we may not find him at all! And there's no reason for us to take everyone on for him alone! ”

"Takahashi, stay here if you're scared!"

Atsuko Amamiya couldn't help but say, "I believe that Mr. Akechi will not leave for so long for no reason, and if he doesn't come back, what worries us may be that something really happened!" ”

"yes."

Hiroki Kakutani also chimed in:

"I didn't see that Mr. Wise was so worried after the disappearance of the little girl at that time. He probably wouldn't just let this little girl go untouched. ”

As he was talking, suddenly there was a noise in the nearby bushes, so everyone couldn't help but stop-

"Everyone, be careful!"

Seeing this, Ota Katsu was the first to speak:

"Watch your surroundings!"

As he spoke, after seeing that everyone had stopped and stood on guard, Katsu Ota and Hiroki Kakutani mustered up their courage and slowly moved towards the source of the sound, and the weapons in their hands couldn't help but hold tighter.

And Takahashi Ryoichi took a few steps back, approached the girl's position, and then his hands trembled, turned his head towards Atsuko Amamiya, pretending to be calm, but still a little trembling and said:

"Atsuko, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

However, Atsuko Amamiya didn't pay attention to him, but observed the surroundings more carefully-

"Look! On top! ”

At this moment, Conan suddenly shouted loudly, and then raised his hand to the branch of a nearby tree.

The crowd followed the sound, and saw a figure standing on the branch of the tree—the whole body was surrounded by a black cloak, and the faintly exposed face could be seen to be all wrapped in bandages—

"'Bandage Monster'!"

Seeing this, Takahashi Ryoichi called out this title in surprise, and then took half a step back in fright, almost falling to the ground:

"He's really not dead!"

"Damn!"

In this regard, Ota Katsu couldn't help frowning-

"Why is he the only one here!"

Hiroki Kakutani shouted.

"Where's Mr. Wise!"

Thinking of what happened to him before and the tragic death of Chikako Ikeda, Xiaolan plucked up her courage this time, let go of the two hands that grabbed Conan and Xiao Ai, and then rushed forward, using karate tricks, flew up with a kick, and directly kicked down the tree where the "bandage monster" was standing.

Then, as if he had expected it, the "bandage monster" had already dodged and jumped on the branch of another tree before Xiaolan could kick it, and then repeated this action and quickly left here-

"Don't run!"

Seeing this, Xiaolan immediately chased after her.

And Katsu Ota and Hiroki Kakutani followed suit, leaving only Ryoichi Takahashi and a few girls, and Conan Xiaoai still in place-

"Now, we should be safe......

Watching Xiaolan and them chasing the "bandage weird" that appeared again, Takahashi Ryoichi couldn't help but sit on the ground and exclaimed.

"So what are we going to do?"

Ayako Suzuki couldn't help but say, "Why don't you stay here and wait for them." ”

"En......"

Yuan Zi couldn't help but say, and several people present couldn't help but nod in agreement-

"Well, I want to go back to the bathroom......"

At this time, Atsuko Amamiya covered her stomach and said a little uncomfortably......
