"I can testify that every word on this card is true!"

Hearing the sudden voice from Ryoichi Takahashi, the turmoil in the hearts of everyone present became more intense, especially several people from the film club, after contacting the content of the trailer letter, their faces changed greatly, and they suddenly thought of a tragedy that had happened in the past.

"The card says that the plagiarized person committed suicide...... You can't say it's Atsuko, right? Ayako Suzuki, who has always been gentle and demure, was also irritated by the gradually revealing truth at this time, and couldn't help but speak.

"In this way, every time Atsuko is mentioned, Chikako's reaction is always the most intense!" Hiroki Kakutani, who was holding back Chikako Ikeda, also had the same conjecture as Ayako Suzuki, and although Katsu Ota did not speak, the hand used to control Chikako Ikeda unconsciously increased his strength.

Seeing that her classmates began to doubt herself, Chikako Ikeda, who had a ghost in her heart, became even more manic, and she tried hard to get rid of the control of the two men, and shouted hoarsely:

"Let go of me! Would you rather believe a slanderous letter from an unknown source than believe it!? ”

Hearing this, the three of Suzuki Ayako showed doubts again, but Takahashi Ryoichi, who knew the truth of everything, would not let go of Chikako Ikeda so easily, he secretly held the dagger hidden in his pocket, and shouted in his mouth:

"Do you still want to deny it! Do you think you were the only one who read Atsuko's script back then? I've also read the unpublished "Empty Kingdom", and its plot is exactly the same as your "Blue Kingdom"! ”

"Before committing suicide, Atsuko called and told me all about it! It's you, the devil, who took away the honor that should have belonged to Atsuko, and she was forced to despair and could only choose suicide! ”

With that, Ryoichi Takahashi suddenly pulled out the dagger hidden on his body and rushed in the direction of Chikako Ikeda regardless of the ground! Everyone present was shocked by this shocking truth, and for a moment they didn't even notice the movement of Takahashi Ryohashi's hand, only the vigilant Conan was quick to snatch the snack box in the garden's hand, and flew up and kicked it towards Takahashi Ryoichi.

Because of the urgency, Conan didn't have time to activate the foot strength booster installed in the sneaker, and the power of this foot could only barely stop Takahashi Ryoichi's footsteps temporarily, and failed to completely incapacitate him.

But this kick was enough time for others to react, Xiaolan stepped forward first, put on a karate stance, and kicked the dagger on Takahashi Ryo into two with a high leg! And the two men also let go of Chikako Ikeda, who was scared to tears, and ran over to help Xiaolan control Ryoichi Takahashi, who wanted to kill someone.

All of a sudden, what was once a happy party turned into a carnival of sin and hatred, with roars, screams and cries resounding in this mountain villa in a symphony of miserable mania.

And in this chaotic world, Conan didn't say a word, and picked up the teaser letter that had been forgotten for the time being.

"Phantom of the Thief, where are you hiding now?"

…………

It took a while to get around before everyone managed to settle down under the leadership of Ayako Suzuki. Born in the Suzuki Foundation, she completely showed her skills as a lady, and it didn't take long for the whole situation to be under control.

Under her arrangement, Ryoichi Takahashi, who intended to commit the murder, was temporarily controlled in the corner, and Chikako Ikeda, who was so frightened that she almost collapsed, although she was not treated by Ryoichi Takahashi, was also firmly stared at by several pairs of eyes, and it was difficult to get out.

"Why don't you believe me! You look at Takahashi's crazy appearance, can you really believe what he says? At this point, Chikako Ikeda still wanted to deny it, "Until now, there is no evidence that I copied it, except for this neuropathic card!" ”

"Hmph, of course I can't find any evidence! Because Atsuko, who was copied by you, has died of despair! Ryoichi Takahashi, who was tied up in the corner, sneered, "You poisonous woman, still refuse to confess!" ”

"I didn't plagiarize at all, why plead guilty!" After confirming that Ryoichi Takahashi couldn't hurt herself, Chikako Ikeda, who was still crying for her father and mother just now, immediately reverted to her original arrogant appearance, and refused to admit her guilt on the basis that there was no evidence to prove her crime.

"Takahashi, do you think this catcher card can ruin my reputation? Hmph, I tell you, I am not afraid of your slander! ”

"Well, this teaser letter shouldn't have been written by Mr. Takahashi......" At this time, Xiaolan, who was an outsider, suddenly interjected, she took the teaser letter confiscated from Conan's hand just now and handed it to everyone.

"Actually," Xiaolan explained to the puzzled crowd, "I used to see similar cards when I followed my father to solve the case. Ah, I forgot to mention, my father was a well-known detective. ”

"This should be a teaser letter from a criminal who calls himself 'Phantom of the Strange Thief'."

"Phantom of the Thief? Is it the strange thief who made a fuss a few days ago? At this time, Yuan Zi also remembered the social news that he accidentally glimpsed while watching gossip a few days ago, "But isn't that something like an urban legend?" ”

"Oh no!" At this time, Conan ran over, and he raised his little face to help Xiaolan explain, "The Phantom of the Strange Thief is real!" ”

"His first teaser letter was sent to a stalker. Then the stalker changed his past and voluntarily surrendered to the police. ”

And the second time, he sent a notice letter to the director of the Rice Flower Library. The letter was later published in the newspaper, but it didn't cause much of a stir. Conan continued, explaining to the crowd about the Phantom of the Thief, "But what the media hasn't reported so far is that the target in the teaser letter has now surrendered to the police and confessed to his crimes. ”

"Conan," Xiaolan patted Conan on the back worriedly, "Can this kind of information really be told to others?" Didn't Officer Twilight say that he wanted to keep it a secret for the time being? ”

"It's okay, the news of Director Tsukawa's surrender next week should be reported by the news media, and we just leaked it a little in advance. Moreover, now everyone in this house has been involved in the incident by the teaser letter of the Phantom of the Strange Thief, and they are all parties to the incident. ”

"Anyway, I ...... What Sister Xiaolan wants to tell everyone is that Sister Chikako Ikeda, you have been targeted by a strange thief who can make people repent! ”

"Judging from the situation of these two incidents, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will come to visit, and you will take the initiative to confide in the buried crimes!"
