Chapter 16 Solving the Case, Qing Shui Jing, Who Are You?
"You've been attacked again?"
In Xiaolan's room, everyone who was late looked at Mao Lilan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, a little embarrassed.
Although the bandage freak came to attack her again, because of Conan and Karasuma Ying, who arrived in time, she was also not injured this time, but tried desperately to stop Conan of the bandage freak from accidentally spraining his foot.
"Really, where the hell did that guy come in?" Katsu Ota pursed his lips.
"Windows."
Squatting by the window of the room, looking at the circular gap in the floor-to-ceiling window glass, Karasuma Ying's brow furrowed slightly.
"The bandage freak must have used some kind of tool that could cut glass, separated the window of Xiaolan's room from the balcony, and then opened the window from the outside, and came in to attack Xiaolan."
"Balcony? How does that guy get on the balcony? Hearing this, Ota Katsu pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window and walked to the balcony.
Karasuma Ying didn't answer, but looked down at the floor of the room in thought.
This is also what she is curious about, how did the bandage freak get on the balcony?
No, I should ask, how did the bandage freak come to Xiaolan's room from the outside without leaving a trace of dirt on the floor?
You know, it's still raining outside......
Could it be ...... The bandage freak didn't actually come in from the outside?
Realizing this, Karasuma Ying suddenly felt a chill in her back.
Doesn't this mean that in fact, the bandage freak has been hiding in the villa all along? What's more, the bandage freak is actually one of them?
Subconsciously, Karasuma Ying turned his head to look at Conan, and at this time, Conan also happened to look at Karasuma Ying, and both of them saw the same thing in each other's eyes.
"Conan, did you notice the size of that bandage freak before?"
"Well, it's not very tall, it's not fat or thin, it's medium-sized."
Not really.
Karasuma's brows furrowed.
Several of the men in the villa were not the size of the bandage freak.
Shizu Shizu and Katsu Ota are on the thin side, Hiroki Kakutani is too tall, and Ryoichi Takahashi is too fat...... And women, it's even more impossible.
"Now, Sister Xiaoying, can you take me to the balcony to have a look?" At this moment, Conan suddenly spoke.
"Okay."
Karasuma Ying picked up Conan, who was injured in his foot, and walked to the balcony, in the room, Shimizu Jing looked at this scene, turned his head and said to everyone:
"It seems that I can't sleep tonight, everyone, why don't we all sit together in the living room for the night, in this case, presumably that Mr. Bandage Strange will also have some concerns and dare not attack us casually."
"Well, that's all there is to it now."
Qing Shui's voice fell, and the rest of the people left the room one after another.
On the balcony at this time, Karasuma Ying stopped somewhere on the guardrail, and she suddenly noticed that there were two marks on the guardrail that seemed to have been cut by thin wires.
"Sister Xiaoying, have you thought of anything?" Karasuma Ying's back, Conan asked in a cute tone.
"Conan, I remember when I first arrived at the villa, when Xiaolan went upstairs to find a room, did she open the wrong door several times?"
"Well, there's such a thing."
"I see, no wonder...... The murderer wants to attack Xiaolan several times. ”
At this moment, Karasuma Ying figured it all out.
Who was the murderer, how did he kill Chikako Ikeda, and why did he attack Xiaolan twice......
However, although she had deduced the whole process, she still lacked a piece of evidence, one proof that Ikeda's body had been moved.
"Speaking of which, Ayako, whose necklace is this? I picked it up at the back door. ”
In the room behind him, Qing Shui Jing suddenly asked, and a black necklace appeared in his hand at some point.
Necklace?!
On the balcony, Karasuma Ying and Conan heard the words and turned sharply back to the room.
"Huh? This necklace ......" Suzuki Ayako looked at the necklace carefully and said, "I remember that it should be Zhijiazi, but Zhijiazi is not already ......"
"It's weird, it shouldn't be......"
When Qing Shui Jing heard this, he immediately showed a very puzzled expression, he took out a camera from behind him like a trick, pointed to the picture on the camera, and said:
"Ayako, you see, Miss Ikeda was still wearing a necklace around her neck before she was kidnapped by the bandage weirdos.
Her necklace should still be lying in the woods with her corpse......"
As she spoke, Shimizu Jing also deliberately transferred the picture on the camera to Karasuma Ying and Conan to see.
As the bandage freak ran through the window with Chikako Ikeda tied, this camera of Hiroki Kakutani caught this scene.
In the picture, Chikako Ikeda wears a necklace around her neck.
However, what is puzzling is that the necklace on Shimizu's hand is indeed exactly the same as that of Chikako Ikeda.
"I see, now everything is ......"
Looking at this necklace, Karasuma Ying and Conan on her back smiled at the same time.
"Mr. Shimizu, please call everyone else over again, just say...... We've found the bandage freak. ”
The bandage freak is actually the one who pretends to be very fat.
That's right, pretend.
Ryoichi Takahashi's actual body size is not fat, his big belly is actually disguised by him with props, and when Xiaolan first came to the villa to find his room, because of the reason that he opened the door without knocking, he inadvertently saw Ryoichi Takahashi when he changed clothes.
Although Xiaolan didn't realize the difference between Takahashi Ryo's one-piece type in her panic, she didn't remember this detail afterwards.
But what if?
What if she suddenly remembered?
So Takahashi Ryoichi killed Maori Lan, first in the woods, and then when Xiaolan was sleeping, he attacked Xiaolan twice in a row, in order to get rid of Xiaolan, a "potential insider".
When he was in the woods, Ryoichi Takahashi went straight to the action, but he was scared away by Sonoko Suzuki and Conan, who arrived in time.
When he was in the room just now, Ryoichi Takahashi used the common balcony to bypass the room next to Koran that originally belonged to Chikako Ikeda to commit the murder, but he was also stopped by Conan and Karasuma Ying, who arrived in time.
As for the method of killing Chikako Ikeda, it is also very simple.
The note that Ikeda found under the door of the house was presumably deliberately left by Ryoichi Takahashi, and it probably had a bad secret about Ikeda and asked her to go to the woods at night.
Therefore, Chikako Ikeda deliberately avoided everyone and quietly went to the woods alone, and was killed and dismembered by Ryoichi Takahashi, who had been waiting for a long time in the woods.
After killing the corpse of Chikako Ikeda, Ryoichi Takahashi abandoned her limbs in the woods, hiding her head in his own cotton-filled abdomen and quietly taking her back to the villa.
Later, on the balcony on the second floor, he used a thin steel wire to perform the role of an inflatable dummy dressed as a bandage freak and the head of Chikako Ikeda in front of everyone in the living room, creating a proof of his presence.
And the necklace that Shimizu picked up at the entrance of the back door was actually the one that Takahashi Ryoichi accidentally dropped there when he killed Chikako in the woods and quietly brought his head back to the villa.
All the riddles about the bandage freak are solved, and under the reasoning of Karasuma Ying and Conan, Ryoichi Takahashi, who is broken-willed, confesses his crime and also tells his motives.
It turns out that it all has something to do with the suicidal member Atsuko in their college days.
According to Ryoichi Takahashi, Atsuko was his girlfriend, and Atsuko had written a very good novel when she was in college, but that novel was plagiarized and published by another member of the same club, and Atsuko hanged herself in the club when she couldn't stand the blow.
So, Takahashi Ryoichi hated Chikako Ikeda, and in order to avenge Atsuko, he took the opportunity of Ayako Suzuki to hold a class reunion this time and killed her.
The note he put under Chikako Ikeda's door probably wrote about it......
In this way, all the doubts about Ryoichi Takahashi were solved.
But for Conan, there is one more person whose doubts have not been solved.
On Karasuma Ying's back, Conan looked at Shizu Jing, who was indifferent to the side, and a special light reflected on the lenses.
Qing Shui Jing, who is you?
