Chapter 230: The Stomach Pocket

On Sunday, August 25th, Suzuki's villa in the suburb of Mihua Town.

After the Bandage Monster's night attack, Mei Daiko went to bed again, Yamazaki, Ran, Conan, Suzuki Ayako, Sonoko, Kakutani Hiroki, Ota Katsu and Takahashi Ryoichi, eight people gathered in the living room and waited for dawn.

There was wind and rain outside the villa, lightning and thunder, and before 1:30 in the morning, when Conan was asking Lan about what she found in the morning, after a thunderstorm, all the lights in the villa were extinguished, and the whole villa was plunged into darkness.

Yuanzi said, "The power is out."

Ota Masaru said, "It must have been the thunderstorm that cut the wire."

"It's scary." Takahashi Ryoichi said.

Suzuki Ayako said, "I'll go to the utility room and get the candles."

Kakutani Hiroki asked, "Is it okay for you to go alone?"

Lan said, "I'll go with you."

Conan immediately said, "I'll go too."

So, Lan carried Conan on his back and accompanied Suzuki Ayako to the utility room to get candles.

In the darkness, Yamazaki changed seats, put his hand on the shoulder of the person who was about to get up, pushed him back to the seat, and whispered in his ear: "There is no air conditioner in this hot day, How can I sleep well? It's almost time now, so I can't play anymore." He said and patted his stomach.

A moment later, Ayako Suzuki returned with a candlestick with three candles. She put down the candlestick and went to help everyone make coffee, and Lan put down Conan and went to help again.

By candlelight, Conan found that Yamazaki was no longer there. He sat next to Takahashi Ryoichi, and Takahashi Ryoichi was pale and sweaty, looking terrified.

What's going on here, could it be that he wanted to attack Lan in the dark just now, but was stopped by Yamazaki? Could it really be him? Well, if it was him, he happened to be a movie prop guy, and he could make a bandaged weirdo's head, and he happened to be repairing the roof on it, then he could install hanging wires so that he could stand in the room... Thinking of this, Conan pointed to the window on the west side of the second floor of the living room, and asked Lan who came back with a coffee pot: "Sister Lan, can you take me there for a while? It's all right, okay?"

Putting down the coffee pot, Lan said with a helpless smile: "Really, all right." She picked up Conan and went up.

Conan lay on Lan's back and thought, well, it just so happened that he jumped out of the window last, and he could put the head on, and he was the last one to run. Throw the head at the scene of his crime. And if it was him, then the problem of the glass knife would be easy to explain.

At this time, Lan walked to the window, Conan asked Lan to open the window, he turned on the flashlight, carefully looked at the railing on the terrace outside the window, and soon found a trace of wear caused by the rope. So he said, "Sister Lan, that's ok." Then suddenly, there seemed to be a light flashing in the supposedly dark forest, and he immediately asked, "Sister Lan, did you see it just now?"

"See what?" Lan asked.

"Bright light," Conan said, "I saw a light in the mountains just now."

"Bright light?" Lan looked around, and couldn't see anything in the pitch-black mountains, so she smiled, "It might have been lightning just now." Then she asked, "Okay?"

"Okay." Conan said. Then he continued to think, but if it was him, his figure would be wrong. Anyone who looked at him would know his big fat belly,

He can't be neither fat nor thin. Uh, wait a minute, for viewing? Could it be that his fat belly is fake? He put the black robe, black hat and bandaged head inside the clothes. By the way, he was changing clothes in the room at that time. In other words, Lan saw his body , was hunted down by him... Uh, for this reason, Conan blinked his little eyes a few times, and Conan was speechless.

At this time, Conan was put on the chair by Ran. Conan observed Takahashi Ryoichi carefully, and then thought, no, he was taking a bath with us just now, he does have a fat belly, there is no problem with that. By the way, he wouldn't be a learning robot cat, with a big pocket on his stomach, right? And this pocket is a highly simulated human skin pocket, just like wearing a fake scalp to pretend to be bald when playing a monk.

At this time, Yamazaki sat back next to Conan and whispered in Conan's ear: "You still have five minutes to think."

"It's ready," Conan whispered, "That's the guy." Then he asked, "How about lending me your voice?"

"Didn't Dr. Ali say that the current bow tie can perfectly imitate anyone's voice?" Yamazaki laughed softly, "You can find Sonoko, if she asks, it will be easier to fool her." Then he asked, "By the way, How is your female tone training? Don't reveal your secrets because of this."

Conan sent a pair of white eyes to Yamazaki, then raised his watch and issued an anesthetic injection to Sonoko, and Sonoko immediately fell down on the table.

Suzuki Ayako and Ran immediately asked, "Sonoko, what's wrong with you?"

In Yamazaki's chuckle, Conan helplessly got under the table, and said with a voice-changing bow tie: "I, I have figured everything out. I know the true face of the murderer who killed Chikako's sister." Then he felt the tone of voice. No, I said it again.

Suzuki Ayako asked helplessly: "Sonoko, stop talking nonsense, okay?"

Conan said in Sonoko's voice, "The murderer who killed Chikako's sister first and then wanted to attack Lan is in the villa."

"What!" Ran and Suzuki Ayako were taken aback.

"Sonoko," Ota Katsuki laughed, "you can play detective games if you want, but think about it, when the bandaged man ran away from the window, weren't all of us in the villa? If that's the case , how could we be bandage freaks?"

"He only needs to use a dummy head with a black hat wrapped in a bandage, add a large black robe that makes it impossible to see the inside, and then tie these and Chikako's heads together, or stick them together, so that it looks like It looks like two people, but it’s actually just one head, and then use the prop line to let them pass through the window together,” Conan said in the voice of the garden, “and this false image can be made even in the villa.”

"Human, human head?" Suzuki Ayako was taken aback, and then asked, "Kakutani..."

Kakutani Hiroki said painfully: "Kichiko..."

Suzuki Ayako cried out in pain: "Chikako!" Then she covered her mouth and began to cry.

"According to the height from the upper end of the railing on the second floor to the ground, the straight-line distance from the railing line to another window, and the distance between the windows, first tie a line of calculated length to the upper end of the railing outside the second-story window, Tie the head on. Straighten the line and place the head on the railing. Use the second line, one end of which goes into the villa, to hold the head so that it does not fall. Release the second line when it is appropriate. line, the head will fall from the upper end of the railing on the second floor and pass over the windows on the first floor. At this time, just follow the line tied to the head with your hand and pull it between the windows, where we can’t see it from the inside. It was successfully recovered." Conan said in Sonoko's voice, "That is to say, when we ran out to find the bandage monster, he was actually on top of our heads. And whoever has the time and ability to arrange this scene, can The only one who successfully retrieved the head was Ryoichi Takahashi, the prop master of the University Film Club, who was standing by the window on the second floor at that time, and that was you."

"Stop joking, Sonoko," Ota Katsuki asked, "Where's the evidence? And isn't it curved like that?"

"Everyone can recall that Takahashi first said that there were people outside the window, and then when he opened the window to go out, the bandage monster appeared. This was because of the thread that protruded into the villa, which he pressed on the window. Later he stood It’s on the balcony where we can’t see, that’s where he’s recovering heads.” Conan said in a garden voice, “As evidence, there should be a trace of a tie line on the top of the railing. As for the arc, it’s the last place on the west side of the living room. A window, and by the time the Bandage Man passed the window, it was already at the bottom, and we just thought he was running."

"Then how did Takahashi recover the head?" Kakutani Hiroki asked, "You know, Chikako's head was found in the woods? And when you checked the doors and windows, you didn't find anything, did you?"

"That bandage monster head should be able to get angry. When he came up, there was a gas bandage monster head in his stomach, and after he asked sister Chikako outside and killed her, he released all the bandage monsters. I took the head of Qi, brought it and Chikako's sister's head back, and then ventilated the bandage monster's head, played the trick just now, created a perfect alibi, and then vented the bandage monster's head and followed Zhijiazi put his head in his belly, ran to the scene with everyone, and then took it out and put it down in the dark." Conan asked in Sonoko's voice, "At that time, none of us had flashlights, did we?"

"It's just nonsense," Ota Katsuki said with a smile, "We took a shower together just now. How could it be in the stomach."

"Because Ryoichi Takahashi is like a doraemon, with a bag on his abdomen, and the material should be highly simulated human skin," Conan said in Sonoko's voice, "so if you don't touch it with your hands, you won't be able to see it at all."

Kakutani Hiroki asked: "You don't need to touch it with your hands? Then how do you know?"

"His method is indeed very clever. With the help of this method, when the bandage monster held Chikako's sister's head, he was in the villa. All of this would make us think it was done by the bandage monster, but this originally planned murder The plan was changed because of a small accident caused by Lan. When Lan first arrived here, because he broke into the room by mistake, he happened to see his real body shape. At that time, Lan might not have taken it to heart at all. , but if she thinks about it, his plan that he designed with great difficulty will come to naught. That's why he attacked Lan for the first time in the woods, in order to kill people. However, he failed After this commotion, sister Zhijiazi, who he planned to kill, suggested that everyone go down the mountain tomorrow, so he cut off the telephone line in a hurry, let the suspension bridge fall, and with the help of wind and rain, it made us all Locked up in this villa, and then he found an opportunity to ask Sister Zhijiazi to the woods and killed her." Conan asked in the voice of the garden, "I think the way he asked Sister Zhijiazi to go out was because the letter was afraid of others. I found out, and the letter stuffed behind her door, right? And the content of the letter is probably about the member of the film club named Atsuko who hanged herself more than a year ago, right?"

Suzuki Ayako, who had stopped her tears, asked in a voice, "Atsuko? For Atsuko?"

Looking at Takahashi Ryoichi who has been silent all this time, Ota Katsuki couldn't help asking: "Hey, Takahashi, why don't you talk?"

Kadotani Hiroki said: "Yes, Atsuko has been gone for almost two years, and she committed suicide. To avenge her? This motive is too ridiculous."

"This motive is not ridiculous at all," Ryoichi Takahashi shouted, standing up, "Not at all!"

Ota Katsuki stood up and asked in surprise, "Takahashi, you and Atsuko, you were dating at that time, weren't you?"

Suzuki Ayako stood up and asked, "Are you really dating?"

"Yes. And today, all of this is done for Atsuko." Ryoichi Takahashi said, "She secretly showed me the stories she wrote back then, saying that she wanted to become a novelist in the future. Shining brightly, I never thought that she would suddenly hang herself, but now I understand, the real reason is fully understood when I watch the Cyan Kingdom that is currently on display."

"The Cyan Kingdom?" Suzuki Ayako asked in surprise, "Could it be that Chikako..."

"That's right, the story content of Chikako's debut novel, the Blue Kingdom, is exactly the same as what Atsuko showed me back then, the Sky Color Kingdom." Ryoichi Takahashi said angrily, "Chikako used that work to win the Newcomer Screenplay Award and became Today's famous playwright."

Ota asked: "But how do you know that Atsuko committed suicide because of this?"

Ryoichi Takahashi shouted angrily: "On the day Chikako won the award,

That is, the day before Atsuko committed suicide, Atsuko called and told me everything, and she told me that she could no longer trust anyone. "Tears flowed out as she spoke, and then she added, "Actually, what I wrote in the letter was that if she didn't want the matter to be exposed, she would go to the woods. And after leading her there I cut off her head. Who asked that hateful woman to trample on Atsuko's ideals like that? "After speaking, he pulled the clothes, then felt between the chest and abdomen, and tore off a layer of skin. A black package fell to the ground, and the head of the bandaged monster wearing a black hat rolled out, and the package was It was a black robe, and Ryoichi Takahashi had a dagger in his hand.

Kakutani Hiroki immediately said: "No, Takahashi!"

"Don't come here." Ryo Takahashi swung his sword wildly, forcing Kakutani Hiroki, Ota Katsura, Ran and Suzuki Ayako away, and then said, "Everything is over, and I'm going to accompany Atsuko." Turning around, pointing to his own throat, he said, "I decided to live with Atsuko in another world as a justice envoy who killed the enemy."

"Don't be so cute," Conan yelled in Sonoko's voice, "If you really want to die, just go ahead and die, bastard!"

Suzuki Ayako shouted, "Sonoko!"

"Perhaps as you said, you did all this for Atsuko's sake," Conan questioned in Sonoko's voice, "but then you attacked Lan twice in a row, and when Lan went to get the candle, you I still want to take advantage of the darkness to attack her for the third time, is this also for Atsuko?" Then he accused, "Actually, you attacked Lan because you were afraid that you, who had become a sinner, would receive the punishment you deserved. , In fact, you are not a messenger of justice at all, you are just an ugly murderer."

Ryoichi Takahashi was stunned, feeling powerless all over, and couldn't even hold the dagger, so it fell to the ground. ...
