In Xiaolan's room, people in other bedrooms realized it and came to express their condolences to Xiaolan.
Conan, who sprained his ankle just now because he kicked Xiaolan's body, is also being bandaged by Xiaolan.
Conan, who was sitting on the bed, was being bandaged while looking around at the people who came into the room later.
There is no doubt that Bandage Freak is among this group!
The evidence is that there are no dirty footprints on either the balcony or the room, which means that the bandage weirdo broke in from a clean place.
At this time, the long-haired man and the little fat man were still assuming that the bandage monster invaded from the outside, and concluded that the bandage monster came in by climbing a tree.
But this time, even though he knew the correct answer, Conan didn't remind everyone in an "ah-lie-lie" tone.
Because Conan knew that there was someone here who had already judged that the bandage weirdo was an insider and would commit crimes again.
That is Qin Zhibo.
The reason was that he had only shouted twice before Qin Zhibo quickly came to the rescue with a crowbar.
This shows that Qin Zhibo has not slept at all, and the crowbar is at hand, ready to support each room at any time.
Qin Zhibo once again saw through the truth of the insider's crime earlier than he did, and made preparations in advance.
What a terrible reasoning ability...
At this moment, Suzuki Ayako finally discovered that there was someone who had not arrived yet.
"Where is Chikako? Why hasn't she come out yet?"
Logically speaking, Xiaolan's two screams and Qin Zhibo's knocking on the door just now meant that she should have woken up.
So everyone gathered in front of Chikako Ikeda's bedroom and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Pushing the door open and walking in, the quilt on the bed was no longer warm. Chikako Ikeda's coat was also missing, but the suitcase she brought was still there, and there were no signs of a fight in the room.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chikako Ikeda left on her own.
"Could it be that...Ikeda is the bandage weirdo?"
The long-haired man who had previously had a bad relationship with Chikako Ikeda immediately made a bold hypothesis.
But this assumption was immediately opposed by Hiroki Kakutani, who seemed to have had a relationship with Chikako Ikeda.
"Impossible! Chikako is not that kind of person!"
Hiroki Kakutani, who had never had a strong sense of presence before, was very serious this time, like a bitter man who still misses him after breaking up.
Facing the suddenly serious and passionate man, the long-haired man immediately softened his attitude.
"I was just talking casually..."
At this time, "Little Fatty" Takahashi put forward a suggestion that more people recognized, which was to go out and find Chikako Ikeda.
Maybe someone is still nearby?
...
Everyone decided to separate. The women and children all stayed in the villa, and the men took flashlights and went out to look for people.
However, in order to prevent those who stayed in the villa from being attacked, Qin Zhibo took the initiative to ask Ying to stay in the villa.
For Qin Zhibo, the location of the main mission is near here, which means that there is indeed some kind of danger nearby, and he doesn't want to go out so late and get into trouble.
On the other hand, the appearance of the bandaged man finally triggered a side mission for some reason.
Side mission: Find out the true identity of the bandage monster
Task requirements: time limit 1 hour
Task reward: 400 general skill proficiency, 150 social credit
The mission mode is triggered, and Qin Zhibo can also see the investigation point.
There may be an investigation point in the villa now waiting for Qin Zhibo to investigate.
...
In the woods, Takahashi Ryoichi pretended to be out of breath and gradually fell to the back of the search team.
Seeing that the time was right, Takahashi turned off the flashlight and ran towards a remote corner of the woods following the direction in his memory.
In a certain clearing in the woods, it was Chikako Ikeda that everyone was looking for.
It's just that she is not Chikako Ikeda in the complete sense.
【Chikako Ikeda's head】, 【Chikako Ikeda's left calf】, 【Chikako Ikeda's right calf】, 【Chikako Ikeda's left hand】...
These body parts are piled together randomly like props dropped on the ground after defeating monsters, and they are also like summoning various parts of a dark archmage.
Takahashi Ryoichi slowly walked up to the corpses with a sinister smile on his face.
In fact, long before Ryoichi Takahashi transformed into a bandage monster and attacked Xiaolan, he had already lured Chikako Ikeda into the woods with a threatening letter and successfully decomposed it.
Although Mao Lilan was not killed due to various accidents, Takahashi Ryoichi still planned to perform a "trapeze" in front of the people in the villa when he went back later to create an alibi for himself.
For this, Takahashi only needs [Chikako Ikeda’s head].
As for the remaining limb fragments, Takahashi Ryoichi also had a wonderful use.
As long as these limbs are thrown away from the villa along a line, both the people in the villa and the police will naturally think that the bandage weirdo is someone from outside.
Takahashi first took out the stuffing from his stomach and hid it in the nearby bushes, and then put all the body parts, including the head, into the big bag he brought.
After that, Takahashi randomly found a direction away from the woods and started running.
Every time he ran forward, he took out a piece of stump from the bag and threw it on the ground.
Soon, the only limbs in the bag were [Chikako Ikeda’s right calf] and [Chikako Ikeda’s head].
Takahashi Ryoichi grabbed his bloody ankle and threw it to the furthest grass with all his strength.
Rustling...
The last corpse was thrown out, and Takahashi Ryoichi wrapped the remaining head in a bag and put it under his belly.
This technique is most likely inspired by Little Blue Fatty when Takahashi was watching "Doraemon".
"It's almost time, it's time to go back..."
Takahashi Ryoichi murmured in a cold tone, his eyes also full of indifference.
At this moment, both the eyes and the expression on Takahashi Ryoichi's face were completely different from the naive and fat man he looked like before.
Although until this moment, Takahashi Ryoichi still thought that he was a messenger of justice who avenged his beloved girl.
But in fact, his madness has exceeded his own imagination.
After dumping the body, Takahashi Ryoichi quickly ran back towards the villa, his short and fat figure gradually getting further away.
And the right calf of Chikako Ikeda, who was thrown away by Takahashi Ryoichi, was lying quietly on the grass.
Suddenly, there was a rustling in the trees that should have been silent.
The rustling sound is getting closer and closer.
Until an ugly hand stretched out from the darkness between the branches of the trees and quickly dragged Chikako Ikeda's right calf back into the darkness.
