Chapter 229: The Letter Behind the Door

On Saturday, August 24th, Suzuki's villa in the suburb of Mihua Town.

In the evening, Mei Daizi lived in Room 207.

Yamazaki, who was watching TV with Mei Daizi, looked at the clock and said with a smile: "It's almost eleven o'clock, Mei Daizi, I'm leaving, you should go to bed earlier."

"I see," Mei Daizi said with a smile, "I will definitely sleep before half past eleven."

Yamazaki got up and smiled, "This is not home. I'm hungry tomorrow morning, but I have nothing to eat."

"I see." Mei Daizi smiled, "Good night, brother."

"Good night." Yamazaki said and left. ...

That night, at 00:20 in the morning, Lan and Conan lived in room 203.

Conan, who was asleep, suddenly felt the wind blowing on his face, and he was awakened immediately, but when he opened his eyes, he saw the bandaged man standing by the bed, raising his ax at Lan.

Conan immediately called to Lan, but Lan didn't respond. Seeing the strange man swinging his ax down, Conan immediately kicked Lan under the bed.

The ax fell on the bed, and the bandage man glanced at Conan, then raised his ax to attack Lan who was still awake.

Conan immediately yelled at Lan, and rushed forward to hug the bandaged man's waist, trying to buy time, but was picked up by the bandaged man and threw it on the bedside, hitting the edge of the bed with one foot. Conan wanted to get up and go up again, but suddenly found that his feet were so painful that he couldn't make any effort to stand up at all.

Seeing the Bandage Man raise his axe, Conan accidentally found his voice-changing bow tie next to his pillow when he was in a hurry, so he picked it up and turned his voice to the loudest, and shouted: "Lan!"

In Room No. 207, Mei Daizi, who was soundly asleep, was woken up. Half asleep, she closed her eyes and murmured, "It's really noisy." The wall behind the head of the bed, and then turned over and fell asleep again.

"Crack!" The wall on the side of the bed in Room No. 207, that is, the wall on the TV side of Room 205, shattered, and several pieces of broken bricks and rocks shot out and smashed into No. 205. In Room No. 5, one of the large broken bricks flew directly towards the wall beside the bed in Room No. 205.

The loud noise made by Conan frightened the bandage man, and the movement of his hands stopped. Lan was also woken up. She was sleepy and saw the Bandage Man, and immediately lost her sleepiness and screamed.

At this time, with a sound of "Boom!", the wall on the side of the TV cabinet in room 203 was broken, and some broken bricks and rubble fell into room 203.

Lan instinctively lay down and raised his hands to cover his head, and the bandaged man instinctively lifted his coat to cover himself, but Conan found something was thrown towards him, so he instinctively lay down, and the thing smashed into his body. into the bed.

At this time, Mei Daizi in Room 207 was woken up again by Lan. She opened her eyes, lay on the bed and shouted, "Lan, what are you doing?" Then she heard Yamazaki's knock on the door, " Mei Daizi, can I come in?" He said, "The door is unlocked, come in, brother."

In Room No. 203, Conan glanced at the head of the bed, and cold sweat broke out. It should be a sharp piece of gravel, but now it has penetrated deeply into the head of the bed. Looking up again, Conan found that Lan and the bandage monster were in a daze, and following their gazes, Conan was also stunned, because he saw Yamazaki in Room 207 through the hole in the wall, He was bending over to look this way.

At this time, there was a knock on Yuanzi's door, and Conan, Lan, and the bandaged man came back to their senses,

The Bandage Man immediately turned and ran behind the curtains, leaving through the open balcony window.

"Stop." Conan wanted to get up and chase, but as soon as he tried hard, his feet hurt. Holding his feet, Conan yelled in his heart, what a joke? Yamazaki, you bastard!

Lan got up and opened the door. Sonoko and Ayako Suzuki were standing at the door. Sonoko immediately asked, "What happened?"

Lan said in fear: "That guy is here again." Saying that, he stepped aside and opened the door.

Sonoko asked in surprise, "The bandage guy?"

"Yes." Lan said.

Suzuki Ayako found a hole in the wall, and there were many broken bricks and stones on the ground, and asked in surprise: "What's going on, is it made by the bandage monster?"

At this time, Yamazaki and Mei Daizi came in, and Mei Daizi smiled embarrassedly: "It was my accident...I'm sorry, Sister Ayako, I didn't mean it."

"You?" Yuanzi looked through the hole and found that there was also a hole in the wall on the opposite side of the TV in Room 205. Through that hole, Room 207 could be seen. Yuanzi was speechless for a moment.

Seeing Yamazaki come in, Conan gave him a hard look. Yamazaki smiled at him, then went to draw the curtains and walked to the balcony.

At this moment, Takahashi Ryoichi, Ota Katsuki and Kakutani Hiroki came in.

Ryoichi Takahashi asked, "What happened?"

Masaru Ota asked, "What happened to the wall?"

Kakutani Hiroki asked, "Is it the Bandage Guy?"

"It's the bandage man," Lan said.

"Well, accident, this wall was an accident." Mei Daizi laughed dryly, "You don't have to worry about it."

At this time, Suzuki Ayako found that Conan was covering his feet, so he stepped forward and asked, "Conan, what's wrong with you, let me see?"

"Bump, bump." Conan reluctantly said, and let go of his hand.

Seeing that Conan's feet were already swollen, Suzuki Ayako immediately said, "I'm going to get the first-aid kit." Then she went out.

Kakutani Hiroki asked, "But how did he get in?"

Ota Katsura asked, "Didn't you all close the doors and windows?"

Ryoichi Takahashi went to the window and found that there was a round hole in the glass next to the window latch, allowing his hand to reach in and open the latch, so he said, "So that's how he can open the lock and come in from here."

Ota Katsura went to the balcony to look around and asked, "But this is the second floor, how would he climb to such a high place?"

Kakutani Hiroki went to the balcony to have a look, pointed to the big tree next to the balcony of Room 207 and said: "The balconies here are all connected, as long as you come up from there, you can come here."

Ota Katsuki sighed, "It's really hard to guard against."

Suzuki Ayako came over with the first aid kit and asked, "Do you think this is okay? How about we gather in the living room and wait until dawn together?"

"That's right." Masaru Ota said, "Let's go down first." After speaking, he went downstairs with Ryoichi Takahashi and Hiroki Kakutani.

"Then I'll continue to sleep." Mei Daizi said.

Suzuki Ayako asked: "Mei Daiko, you..."

"It's okay, let him come." Mei Daizi smiled, "This nasty guy made me feel like I didn't sleep well."

"Mei Daizi, go to my room." Yamazaki said with a smile, "Pack up your things, and I will call you when you leave."

"Okay." Mei Daizi said and left.

After a while, Suzuki Ayako gave Conan the medicine, and then saw that Lan offered to take over, Suzuki Ayako went downstairs to make coffee.

Lan helped Conan wrap his injured foot with a bandage, and Yuanzi sent the first aid kit away.

Yamazaki smiled and said, "Lan, help me make coffee. I'll take Conan downstairs."

"Okay," Lan said.

When Lan Yiyi left, Conan immediately said, "Yamazaki, you bastard..."

"I think you are dizzy, because you are sleeping on the same bed with Lan." Yamazaki interrupted Conan and asked, "I told you that it might be a prank, but there is a murderer nearby. There is no doubt about it, you are not vigilant at all, can you blame me for this?"

"You..." Conan was ashamed and angry, and was speechless for a while. Then close your eyes, take a deep breath, then open your eyes and ask calmly, "What's going on on the balcony? Is it still raining?"

"That's right." Yamazaki praised, and continued, "It rained heavily. From that tree to the ground between this room, there was no trace of dripping from rain gear, and no mud prints from shoes. Unless he was wearing rain gear and Shoes come up, and take off these comers."

"No shoes? I didn't notice that. But the hole in the window was obviously made with a glass knife. This is because he knew we locked the doors and windows and deliberately carried the glass knife with him, or he always carried the glass knife with him." On my body? No, I didn’t touch it just now, did I throw it away after I used it? Or did I get it at the villa, and then returned it and came back later. If this is the case, the person who can get the glass knife in a short time, It is someone who has lived in this villa for a long time, that is to say, one of the four people, Takahashi Ryoichi, Ota Katsura, Kakutani Hiroki, and Suzuki Ayako." Conan touched his chin and asked himself, "But he Why did you have to attack Ran?"

"Okay, it's almost time, I'll take you down, or Lan will come up to find someone." Yamazaki smiled and picked up Conan and walked downstairs.

"Hey," Conan said, "Who is the bandage man? How about some hints? What if he attacks Lan again?"

"Well, the clue is what he said at the time," Yamazaki said, "and then pay attention to it, and it's easy to find out."

Did you say something? Sister Suzuki Ayako said she didn’t know. Hiroki Kakutani, Katsuo Ota and Ryoichi Takahashi all said they saw the weird bandage man. Wait a minute, what Takahashi Ryoichi said at that time was different from others. The tulip-shaped hat, Conan’s heart Think, this description is too detailed, right? But what do you pay attention to?

When Yamazaki carried Conan down the stairs, Suzuki Ayako and Ran were coming out of the downstairs aisle, and each of them was holding a food plate with a coffee pot and five coffee cups on it. In the living room, Hiroki Kakutani, Masaru Ota, Ryoichi Takahashi, and Sonoko were all sitting at the dining table. Ran put the food tray on the dining table and sat down, while Suzuki Ayako started pouring coffee for everyone. Yamazaki put Conan on the chair next to Ran, and sat down next to him.

Kakutani Hiroki asked, "Where is Miss Mei Daizi?"

"Won't she come down?" Takahashi Ryoichi asked.

Ota Masaru said: "It's too dangerous to be alone."

"Don't worry," Yamazaki said with a smile, "Mei Daiko can take care of herself."

"What you should worry about is the person looking for her." Yuanzi said angrily, and then asked, "By the way, Lan, why didn't you use karate to deal with him? This is not like Xiaolan at all."

"Well, isn't he the ghost from the villa next door?" Lan said shyly, "You know, I can't do anything about these things."

Ota got up and walked towards Lan, and said with a smile: "Actually, you don't need to worry at all. There are seven of us here, and he only has one. No matter how powerful he is, he can't deal with us." He walked behind Lan, thinking Put your hand on Lan's shoulder.

Seeing this, Conan jumped onto Katsuo Ota's toes, causing him to hop on one leg in pain and scream, while Conan's injured foot landed on the ground, and he also sat on the ground and screamed in pain.

Ota Katsuki asked, "What are you doing, you little brat?"

"There are me and sister Meidaizi here," Conan said seriously, "so we are not seven, but nine of us."

"Miss Mei Daizi is not here, and you are a brat and it doesn't count at all." Ota Katsuki said.

"That's not the case. When I was attacked just now, it was Conan who tried his best to protect me." Lan smiled, "Thank you, Conan."

"Hmph!" Glancing at Masaru Ota, Conan shook his head triumphantly and hummed.

Suzuki Ayako asked: "Lan, did you see the face of the bandage man at that time?"

"His face was covered with bandages so he couldn't see it," Lan said.

"I know his body shape." Conan said, "Because I hugged that weird person's body just now, it should be a person who is neither very fat nor very thin."

Ota Katsuki said angrily: "How can you believe what the kid said."

Wait a minute, someone who is neither fat nor thin is not Ryoichi Takahashi. ah! No, let's start over. Is the murderer someone from the villa, or someone from outside the villa? If it was outside the villa, how could he get Chikako Ikeda who had already returned to the room to go outside? Thinking of this, Conan asked: "Sister Ayako, are you the last person to see Sister Chikako? Was there anything wrong with her at that time?"

"Well," Suzuki Ayako thought for a while and said, "By the way, after Chikako opened the door, she picked up a letter from the ground behind the door, and her face immediately changed after reading it."

letter? The letter that can call Ikeda Zhijiazi out should be written by someone who knows her well. If the letter can be placed in her room without anyone knowing it, then it is one of the four classmates who live in the villa now. Let it go. And Chikako Ikeda was killed afterwards, that is to say, the murderer who killed her was one of her four classmates who asked her to meet. Conan thought, excluding sister Suzuki Ayako who provided this clue, the murderer is one of the three people, Masaru Ota, Hiroki Kakutani, and Ryoichi Takahashi.

Then came the bandage man, he attacked Lan twice, and the one just now was obviously beyond the scope of pranks, he wanted to kill Lan. For a murderer, it is reasonable to talk to Shang Lan, but it is obvious that he did not kill at will. His goal is very clear, which is Lan. Lan and I have been walking in the woods for so long this morning, if it was someone on the bus, or someone who followed us, they would have done it long ago. Also, the bandage man ran away after just taking a look at us in the morning, that is to say, because after that, Lan discovered something, and the bandage man killed Lan. And later we only saw these people in the villa, and only Lan found out about it alone, and then only when Lan entered the room without knocking on the door. It must be because Lan saw something she shouldn't have seen, which must have provoked the Bandage Monster. And Lan met them for the first time, this should not be seen, it can only be related to the killing of Ikeda Chikako. In this way, it can be determined that the murderer and the bandage weirdo are the same person. Then just figure out what Ran saw...

Thinking of this, Conan asked: "Sister Lan, I remember that when we first came here, you opened everyone's room on the second floor, right? Did you see anything at that time?"

Lan asked suspiciously, "What did you see?"

Conan asked, "Like a cloak or a bandage?"

"What nonsense are you kidding," Ota Katsuki asked angrily, "Are you doubting us?"

"Please don't take it to heart," Lan said with a smile, "He usually likes to play detective games the most."

Conan asked again: "Did you really not see anything?"

"How could I see something? At that time, everyone was changing clothes, and I immediately closed the door." Lan said, "Speaking of which, I remembered it when you said that. At that time, there seemed to be something hanging on I'm on my mind." Then he laughed, "It shouldn't be something important, I can't think of it anymore."

Conan urged: "Remember quickly, Sister Lan."

At this time, after a thunderstorm, all the lights in the villa went out. ...
