Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 342 Where's Little Sorrow!
"What happened?"

Faced with the sudden extinguishing of the lights and the subsequent sound of glass shattering, everyone around the dining table couldn't help but panic.

Then, there was a "boom" thunder outside the house.

"Is there a power outage!"

Yuanzi couldn't help being shocked.

"It's possible that the lightning just broke the line!"

Ota Katsuki spoke in a calm tone.

"But did the window on the second floor break just now?"

Kakutani Hiroki panicked.

"It must be him! It must be that person who broke in!"

Takahashi Ryoichi shouted with a trembling tone, sounding very panicked.

"Calm down!"

Gao Yuan shouted loudly in the dark, trying to calm everyone down:
"Everyone stay where you are and don't move!"

With that said, Gao Yuan took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight function, while Conan on the side also lit up the flashlight on his watch——

For a moment, two beams of light illuminated the surroundings. Although this light was not enough to illuminate the entire hall, at least it allowed people to see the surroundings clearly temporarily.

"Miss Suzuki, are there candles or something in the villa?"

After looking around and confirming that everyone was still sitting at the dining table, Gao Yuan couldn't help asking Suzuki Ayako.

"Yes! It's in the kitchen, I'll get it right away!"

As Suzuki Ayako spoke, she was about to get up.

"Can you go alone?"

Kakutani Hiroki said slightly worried.

"I'll go with you!"

At this time Xiaolan volunteered to say.

"I am coming too!"

Conan on the side showed his watch with a flashlight, and couldn't help but say.

"Okay, Miss Xiaolan and Conan will go to the kitchen with Miss Suzuki to get candles, and the others will stay where I am, and don't act without authorization!"

Seeing that Conan and Xiaolan were going to accompany Suzuki Ayako to get candles, Gao Yuan couldn't help but nodded in approval, and at the same time glanced at Xiaolan, reminding him:
"Miss Xiaolan, pay attention to safety! Don't think too much at critical moments, trust your intuition that you have practiced for so many years in karate!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Yuan looked down at Conan, and Conan also nodded towards Gao Yuan. After a tacit exchange, Suzuki Ayako, Xiaolan and Conan walked towards the kitchen together.

Watching them leave, Gao Yuan once again focused his attention on the people who were still at the dining table——

To be honest, for the "bandage weirdo" that appeared this time, rather than saying that the other party is someone hiding in the nearby mountains for some reason, Gao Yuan is more inclined to think that the other party is pretending to be someone who came to the party together.

So in the face of the current power outage and even the broken windows upstairs, Gao Yuan still decided to put all the people present under his nose first, in case they would take advantage of the chaos to do anything.

After all, without people present, there are many ways to cut the villa's power outage and smash the window glass.

And the window on the second floor that was broken was right above the hall where everyone was now, and it was a place that could be seen directly when looking up, not the window of any room.

If someone broke through this window and broke in from outside, then the figure of the person who broke in could be directly spotted by everyone present.

To sum up, Gao Yuan came to a judgment and made a deployment just now——

Keep the suspects under your nose first, then ask Suzuki Ayako and the others to get the candles, light up the room completely, and then go to see what caused the power outage and the broken glass.

Under the faint light of the mobile phone's flashlight, Gao Yuan's nerves couldn't help but tense when he saw everyone's frowning faces——

Speaking of which, Chikako Ikeda was still alone in the room. If a "bandage monster" really appeared now, then her suspicion cannot be shaken...

However, in the woods, the "bandaged man" was able to wield that ax with one hand, which was obviously not something a woman could do.

What's more, now there is no way to go upstairs to find her immediately, I can only wait for Xiaolan and the others to bring back the candle...

But fortunately, Xiaolan and the others returned from the kitchen soon, holding a few candlesticks in their hands. Several candles were lit on the candlesticks. The warm orange candlelight soon followed the return of the three of them, completely lighting up the hall up.

Looking at the candlelight that filled the room, everyone was relieved from their panicked mood.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help taking a candlestick from Xiaolan's hand, protecting the burning flame with his hand to prevent it from going out, and then asked Suzuki Ayako:

"Miss Suzuki, where is the switch?"

"It's over there by the back door."

Suzuki Ayako replied, and immediately understood Gao Yuan's intentions, and said, "I'll take you there!"

In this regard, Gao Yuan nodded, and then told the people present:
"Everyone, please don't leave here until I come back. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

In such an atmosphere, Gao Yuan comforted everyone in this way, and everyone looked at each other. Now that the hall is illuminated by candlelight, everyone couldn't help but silently nodded in agreement.

So, Gao Yuan took a candlestick and followed Suzuki Ayako to the switch at the back door——

"Tripped?"

When he came to the electric gate, he found that the electric gate had not been opened, and after opening the electric gate, under the light of candlelight, Gao Yuan did not see any trace of any mechanism here, so he couldn't help but say so.

Slightly frowning, Gao Yuan reached out and turned on the main switch of the trip again, and immediately, the lights of the villa turned on again——

"Probably just an ordinary trip."

Regarding the current situation, Gao Yuan couldn't help but comfort Suzuki Ayako beside him——

If the trip was caused by a line fault, the switch would still trip after the main switch was turned on again, but now that the switch has been successfully opened, it seems that the line is still normal now, and the trip just now may have been just an accident.

So, after hearing Gao Yuan's words, Suzuki Ayako couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the two of them started to return to the hall by the way—

But just when the two of them walked for a while, the lights in the villa that had been turned on again went out again.

So, feeling a little headache, Gao Yuan had no choice but to go back, intending to check the switch again.

But at the same time Gao Yuan returned to the electric gate, a scream suddenly came from the hall——

"It's Xiaolan!"

Hearing the exclamation, Gao Yuan and Suzuki Ayako immediately determined the source of the exclamation. Although they didn't know why the switch jumped again, Gao Yuan couldn't care less, picked up the candlestick that was still burning, and walked towards the hall Running, Suzuki Ayako followed closely behind very nervously——

"What happened!"

Going back to the hall, seeing Katsuo Ota relighting the candles on the candlestick with a lighter, Gao Yuan couldn't help asking, and at the same time began to look around at the people in the hall——

Ran, Sonoko, Conan, Masaru Ota, Ryoichi Takahashi, Hiroki Kakutani, Atsuko Amamiya.

are all there...

With a sigh, Gao Yuan couldn't help feeling a little relieved. Although he didn't know what happened just now, as long as everyone is still here, at least...

"Where is Xiao Ai!"

In an instant, Gao Yuan realized that Xiao Ai was not here, and immediately questioned the people present in panic, and at the same time, an inexplicable anger rose in his heart...
