People are in Conan, but the Shura field

Her skin turned red visibly from the mark where the flashlight touched it, including her wrists, collarbones, earlobes, ankles.

Xiaolan soon turned into a boiled lobster.

“Ah~”

Xiaolan screamed and her body shot away from Chen Nuo at lightning speed, and she seemed to have accidentally sprained her ankle in the process.

Because the shock she felt this time was much stronger than seeing Ota Masaru and Nanazawa Mia, her exclamations were naturally much louder.

Even if Ota Masaru was concentrating, it was impossible for him not to hear such a loud noise.

"who?!"

As Ota Katsu put on his pants, he looked at the bushes behind him in shock and anger. It was dark and rainy.

Coupled with the dense bushes blocking his view, he could only see two figures hiding behind.

Xiaolan was shocked. She turned around and ran like a child caught by her teacher doing something bad. In the process, she did not forget to put on the hood of her sweatshirt to conceal her identity.

But if the other party could see it, Ota Katsu would be able to recognize the sports jacket she was wearing even if she was wearing a hat. Chen Nuo smiled bitterly in her heart.

But her silly look actually makes her look a bit cute.

Chen Nuo was slowly preparing to catch up with Xiaolan - he had to slow down for a while, otherwise it would be very troublesome to run. Then Xiaolan suddenly came back, grabbed Chen Nuo's hand and ran together.

Although Chen Nuo was very moved by Xiaolan's spirit of not abandoning her teammates, it was really uncomfortable to run like this.

But there is no way to explain it at this time.

Chen Nuo had no choice but to bend his body and head deeper into the jungle.

Xiaolan didn't run for long when she suddenly stopped, and Chen Nuo bumped into her back as usual.

When he came to his senses, he found that there was a Suzuki Sonoko lying on the ground not far away.

No, it should be said that it was Suzuki Sonoko, who was covered in mud, who fell to the ground not far away.

Behind Yuanzi, the strange man wrapped in bandages was approaching Yuanzi with a sharp axe.

After seeing Xiaolan and Chen Nuo, the bandaged monster turned around and disappeared into the woods.

After they rescued Sonoko and asked her, they found out that Sonoko had come out with Conan to look for Xiaolan, but she didn't expect Xiaolan to be taken away by Chen Nuo.

Sonoko and Conan started searching in the forest separately.

Right after that, Sonoko encountered this bandaged weirdo. If she hadn't regularly participated in sports club exercise, she would have been chopped in half by an axe.

After returning to the villa, Yuanzi took a shower first, then told everyone about the experience of being attacked, and then went back to the room to rest.

After hearing the news, everyone looked solemn and speculated about the identity of this bandaged man.

Chen Nuo was also a little confused. Why did the bandaged man attack Suzuki Sonoko? Shouldn't it be Mao Lilan who accidentally saw him changing clothes?

Could it be that Sonoko also knew this secret?

Chen Nuo put down the teacup and wanted to go to the room on the second floor to ask them.

Xiaolan had just finished comforting Sonoko and came out of the room with a cup of tea, when she saw Ota Masaru waiting in the corridor.

Ota Katsu seemed unaware that Xiaolan had witnessed what happened to him in the forest, and he still spoke to Xiaolan like a caring older brother.

Out of consideration for Suzuki Ayako's face, Xiaolan didn't want to show too much. She just said that she already had someone she liked and then walked away.

Ota Masaru looked at Mouri Ran's back with a resentful expression, took out a cigarette and started smoking at the corner of the corridor.

Xiaolan hadn't walked far when she was stopped by Chen Nuo, who asked her if she had seen anything strange in the garden, such as accidentally seeing someone changing clothes.

Xiaolan secretly glanced at Masaru Ota who was smoking at the corner of the corridor behind her, and recalled what Sonoko had told her when she first arrived at the villa, and shook her head.

"No, I've always been with Sonoko."

Chen Nuo asked in confusion: "Did you see anything special?"

"Apart from that bandaged weirdo, there's nothing special." Xiaolan said after thinking for a while.

Chen Nuo nodded and looked at Xiaolan's hesitant look. He thought that she might say that because she was shy. After all, seeing other men changing clothes or something like that must be difficult for a good girl like her to say.

But why did the bandaged man attack Suzuki Sonoko? Did he accidentally bump into Sonoko while looking for Xiaolan, and then he wanted to kill her?

Chen Nuo's doubts were still not resolved.

By dinner time, Suzuki Sonoko seemed to have recovered.

Everyone sat around the dining table in the living room, and Suzuki Ayako and Xiaolan placed delicious food on the long table.

Ryoichi Takahashi was still repairing the roof on the second floor, but Chen Nuo knew that his mechanism had to be operated on the second floor.

When most people were seated in the restaurant, Takahashi Ryoichi activated the button of the mechanism.

The bandaged man appeared in front of the hall window holding Ikeda Chikako's head.

However, unlike what Chen Nuo remembered, the bandaged man directly smashed the glass, and then stumbled away, which did not look so smooth.

But even so, screams continued to be heard in the living room.

Yuanzi and Xiaolan were on either side, hugging Chen Nuo's arms and trembling.

Nanazawa Mia, who originally wanted to hug Chen Nuo, suddenly felt confused after seeing this scene.

I wondered what the employer meant by this? Did he come in person? I wonder if he would give me the balance, which I still need to use to buy a bag.

Just as Conan was about to rush out to chase the bandaged monster, he was shocked by the scene reflected in the glass.

What’s going on? Why did Yuanzi betray us?

It doesn't matter if you betray me, but you probably can't take Xiaolan with you.

Conan turned around and looked at Yuanzi with resentment.

When he turned around, everyone's attention was drawn to Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo clapped his hands calmly, and Xiaolan and Sonoko quickly let go of Chen Nuo's arms. The two girls hugged each other, and they seemed a little embarrassed for their subconscious reaction of hugging the wrong person just now.

But this is just a small episode after all. Except for Conan and Suzuki Ayako, everyone else is more concerned about Ikeda Chikako who was captured by the bandaged monster.

Hiroki Kakutani, holding a camera in his hand, suggested: "We can't let that guy take Chikako away like this. Let's go outside and look for her."

"it is good."

Ota Katsu also showed a courageous attitude at this time, perhaps this is one of the reasons why he is very popular with girls.

"Girls can stay in the villa, lock the doors and windows and wait for us to come back." Ota Katsu added. It seems that he is very good at winning the favor of girls with such details.

As expected, Nanazawa Mia's face already showed an expression of being fascinated.

Xiaolan and Sonoko didn't pay any attention to this side. They were still hugging each other tightly and shivering.

"Takahashi, what are you still doing there?" Ota Katsu looked up at the second floor and said dissatisfiedly.

"Ah? I—I'll be right there." Takahashi Ryoichi answered nervously. He was crouching outside the second-floor window, fiddling with something.

Ota Katsu turned his gaze to Chen Nuo, who was sitting at the dining table drinking tea.

He originally wanted to use his status as a senior to scold the boy, but after looking at Chen Nuo, Ota Katsu suddenly felt a little guilty.

This guy is a bit evil, so let's not mess with him for now.

Ota Katsu pretended to look for a weapon for self-defense and avoided Chen Nuo's sight.

At this time, Kakutani had already put on his raincoat: "Let's go first, Takahashi, pack up your tools and come over."

Takahashi Ryoichi: “Okay, okay.”

Everyone else thought that Ryoichi Takahashi was probably fiddling with tools to repair the roof, and didn't take his strange behavior seriously.

And only Chen Nuo knew that Takahashi Ryoichi was probably frightened by the deviation of his prop dummy, and he probably hasn't recovered yet, right?

What if the dummy that was holding Chikako Ikeda's head just now got stuck in the gap between the broken window glass?

Then his murder plan would probably be exposed directly, right?

But Chen Nuo was also a little confused.

Could it be that the details of this case are not exactly the same as in the original novel?

Chen Nuo has watched the case of the bandaged man in Conan more than once. He remembers it very clearly. In the original work, the bandaged mannequin controlled by Takahashi Ryoichi just passed through the window holding Ikeda Chikako's head.

How did it get here and swing in directly to break the glass?

But he thought again and it seemed that there was no problem.

After all, this is the real world, and everyone in this world is alive and well, not just paper figures in animations. People are bound to make mistakes, and maybe just a small gear on a prop is installed in the wrong position, which is likely to lead to this kind of thing happening.

However, it seems that the overall plot still follows the original work.

Let’s just wait and see. If I remember correctly, there is a plot line later where Ryoichi Takahashi attacks Xiaolan.

This is a good opportunity to improve your favorability.

Chen Nuo's journey through mountains and rivers was not only for the purpose of helping Chikako Ikeda to attain nirvana, but also to enhance his relationship with Xiaolan.

On the way to the villa, Gin called him again. On the surface, he was asking if anyone had any doubts about his identity, but in fact he was asking Chen Nuo if he had found any information about Kudo Shinichi.

In that case, let this guy be arrogant for a while longer, Chen Nuo thought.

Conan picked up the flashlight and was about to go out when he found Chen Nuo sitting at the dining table, drinking tea nonchalantly: "Brother Chen Nuo, aren't you going to look for that bandaged weirdo?"

Chen Nuo: “No.”

"why?"

Conan subconsciously scanned the room, wondering if he had discovered some special clues and thought that the bandaged man would come back?

Chen Nuo took a sip of tea: "It's raining outside, it's cold."

"It's raining?"

A #-shaped vein appeared on Conan's forehead, and he wondered if this guy had no professional ethics as a detective at all?

Why would such a person have a similar level of reasoning as him?

How abominable!!!

Conan complained in his heart as he sneaked out of the door with a flashlight in his hand.

He had just walked a short distance when he heard Xiaolan's voice coming from the broken window: "The wind in the mountains is very cold, everyone should put on some coats.

.

Suzuki Ayako: "I'll go make some hot tea, does anyone want coffee?

D

Conan couldn't help but look back, and just saw Xiaolan putting the coat in her hand on Chen Nuo's shoulders.

Conan took several deep breaths before he resisted the urge to smash the flashlight on Chen Nuo's head as he calmly drank tea at the dining table.

I think Xiaolan did this just out of kindness. Other people, including the temporary recruit Mia Nanazawa, also put on coats, which doesn't mean anything.

Conan comforted himself in his heart.

At this time, Suzuki Ayako had gone to the kitchen to prepare coffee and hot tea, and Xiaolan followed her.

Nothing should happen, right?

Conan hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to focus on solving the case, mainly because there were so many people in the room.

It is impossible for Chen Nuo to do anything too extreme.

And our ally, Sonoko, is still here, so let’s find out the identity of the bandaged monster first.

A villa in the mountains, heavy rain, a bandaged man, and a missing companion——

The combination of these elements made Conan so excited that his body almost trembled.

The soul of reasoning in his body suddenly began to burn fiercely.

When Chen Nuo drank his second cup of coffee.

The team looking for Chikako Ikeda returned, and brought back bad news.

Chikako Ikeda was killed.

Her body was cut into several pieces and scattered in the woods, while the bandaged man disappeared without a trace.

The telephone lines were also cut, and the ropes of the only wooden suspension bridge leading to the outside were cut with a knife.

Everyone returned to the living room and sat around the dining table. The atmosphere in the air was extremely solemn.
