Conan followed behind and observed, but for a moment he couldn't tell whether Jiang Xia was awake or sleepwalking.
However, it doesn't matter, it can be called anyway - the widely spread "you will go crazy if you are awakened while sleepwalking" is actually a rumor. On the contrary, if sleepwalkers are allowed to wander around, it will easily cause greater harm.
Of course, you also need to pay attention to methods when awakening.
Try to avoid operations such as "shaking hard", because physical contact while unconscious can easily be judged as an "attack" by the sleepwalker, which will trigger resistance.
It doesn’t matter what others do, resistance can be suppressed.
But Jiangxia...
Conan thought of those criminal suspects with bruises and swollen faces, who looked like they were relatives after seeing the police. He silently retracted his outstretched hand, stepped back cautiously, and began to make noise next to Jiang Xia.
Make a relatively sharp, sudden sound, this is a safe way to wake up.
…
Jiang Xia walked a while to her room.
He felt that Takahashi Ryoichi had almost run away, so he tapped Conan on the head with his finger, silencing the noise source that had started howling inexplicably, and then turned around and returned to Mao Lilan's room.
There was such a commotion in the middle of the night, and people in other rooms also woke up and gathered in Mao Lilan's room.
Takahashi Ryoichi changed his clothes in the empty room next door and blended into the crowd, pretending to have just woken up and was attracted by the screams.
He caught a glimpse of Jiang Xia approaching from the corner of his eye, and touched his thick hair with lingering fear. He was secretly glad that Jiang Xia didn't hit his forehead, but hit the side of his head, so the bruises would not be visible.
…
After learning that a dangerous person had sneaked into the villa, everyone lost sleep.
Some people went to the balcony to check, looking for traces of the bandage man. Others discussed in low voices the origin of the bandage man, but no results came from the discussion.
Conan looked at the people in the room, leaned next to Jiang Xia and whispered: "It's raining outside. If the bandaged man climbs to the balcony first and then sneaks into the room, he will definitely step on the mud marks, but the room is very clean.
There is only a trace of rain..."
Conan didn't say the rest of the sentence, but he believed Jiang Xia must understand - the bandaged man who attacked Mao Lilan was not an intruder from the outside world, but a member of this villa.
The enemies within are the most terrifying and difficult to guard against.
But Jiang Xia is definitely not the murderer.
Let's not talk about anything else. Just now, Jiang Xia and the bandaged man appeared at the same time, which is enough to prove his innocence - Jiang Xia can't possibly know the clone technique.
Jiang Xia said perfunctorily: "Yeah."
He glanced at Conan and felt that since that KTV incident, Conan had always treated him with an attitude of "You must know that I am Kudo Shinichi".
Kudo himself insisted on dismounting, and Jiang Xia had no reason to stop him. But now, Jiang Xia glanced at the murderous aura on Takahashi's body that had not diminished at all, and knew that it was not time yet, so he did not want to reason.
So Jiang Xia looked around and pointed out the fact that sooner or later she would be discovered, or in other words, she hadn't been discovered yet: "Why don't you see Miss Ikeda?"
Jiang Xia did not lower his voice, he used a normal volume.
The others were startled, and after looking at each other for a moment, they ran to Chikako Ikeda's room next door.
There was no one in the room, and there were no traces of a fight such as blood stains. There was a set of worn pajamas thrown on the bed, and all the luggage was there. It seemed that Chikako Ikeda had left on her own.
The long-haired handsome guy reasoned for a moment and was suddenly shocked: "Could the bandage person be Chikako!? She is usually weird. I heard that many novelists have weird quirks. Maybe she is crazy and has become some kind of bandage murderer...
…”
Conan interrupted his reasonable association: "The figure of the bandaged man is much thicker than Sister Chikako."
As he spoke, Conan raised his hand and gestured: "When I stopped him, I hugged his waist and it felt about this thick."
Few people take what children say seriously.
Of course, no one paid any attention to the speculation that Chikako Ikeda = Bandage Man.
The only consensus is that the classmate suddenly disappeared and cannot be ignored.
So a group of people took flashlights, went into the woods, and separated to look for Chikako Ikeda.
Jiang Xia kept up with Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko.
On the one hand, it is to get more familiar with them, and on the other hand, it can effectively prevent Takahashi Ryoichi from coming over and chopping Mao Lilan with an axe.
Takahashi Ryoichi did have similar thoughts, and he was anxious to silence them.
However, when they separated, he saw Jiang Xia walking next to Mao Lilan, and he immediately stopped thinking silently.
According to Takahashi Ryoichi's previous inspection, the door of the villa is very strong and needs to be knocked open several times. However, just now, Jiang Xia kicked the door open with a simple kick, which shows that this high school student's strength is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Time is urgent now, so it's best not to be tough.
Moreover, Takahashi was indeed a little scared. The pillow Jiang Xia threw over just now might have given him a concussion, and his head still hurts from time to time...
Finally, Takahashi went to live with his old classmates.
While looking for someone, Takahashi Ryoichi pretended to be out of breath and gradually fell behind.
The woods at night were very dim. After the students ran away, Takahashi secretly turned and went straight to where Chikako Ikeda was.
He picked up the ax he had thrown outside the house in panic, found Chikako Ikeda waiting in the woods far away, and without saying a word, chopped off her head with the axe. Then he chopped the person into several pieces.
The dismemberment was not only for venting anger, but also for the purpose of taking Chikako Ikeda’s head.
This is an important part of Takahashi's alibi.
Takahashi Ryo scattered the body parts. Then he took out the stuffing stuffed in the front of the belly. After making room, he wrapped Chikako Ikeda's head and hid it inside.
In this way, from the outside, he is still the same classmate Takahashi with the beer belly. No one would have thought that his belly is actually a human head.
