Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 41 Sonoko: Prince Charming Saves Me

Villa loft.

After Gao Mo hid temporarily, the sense of death in his heart finally gradually weakened.

He needs to think carefully about how to expose that disgusting fat man.

If I say it directly...it doesn't seem to have much credibility.

Even if he could clear himself of suspicion, there was no evidence to prove that Fatty Takahashi was the murderer.

"How on earth did that guy do it?"

Gao Mo thought about the reactions of everyone in the villa just now.

Why call him and the female screenwriter by their names directly?

It's as if I saw him commit the crime with my own eyes...

What did the fat man do?
Gao Mo quickly reviewed what had happened since arriving at the villa.

In fact, the fat man's method of framing others was not very clever, he just happened to need to disguise himself and was taken advantage of.

Or perhaps there were other plans to frame the "actor", but because of his special circumstances, the countermeasures were temporarily changed...

These are no longer important. We still need to figure out the fat man’s murder plan first.

"Shh!"

Gao Mo looked outside through the gap in the attic window.

In the rain, everyone returned to the villa with various expressions. Yuanzi, who was originally very brave, had tears in her eyes and trembled as she hugged Xiaolan.

The men behind also had frightened expressions on their faces. Conan followed Xiaolan thoughtfully. Only the fat man fell behind. He pretended to be exhausted but looked around with a sinister expression, as if he was still looking for someone.

The task texts were projected into Gao Mo's eagle eyes.

Sonoko's "Prince Charming, come and save me" and Ran's "Shinichi, come here" are skipped.

The handsome guy with long hair is [getting Xiaolan into his hands], but he still has the mind to be in heat at this time.

The man in the photo is [made into an award-winning documentary]. He is taking advantage of his classmate's life, and he looks horrified on the surface, but he is actually secretly happy, right?
Fatty Takahashi - [find Ren Saburo, find a way to make Ren Saburo "commit suicide" or kill Ren Saburo in "self-defense" when necessary, shift the crime to Ren Saburo as soon as possible, and destroy the body when necessary so that there is no evidence].

This bastard has a long mission.

Gao Mo noticed that the fat man brought back the murder axe openly - and no one stopped him?

In this way, even if the police find fingerprints later, the fat man will have an excuse for being careless.

It might even be used to continue killing people...

Oh, I almost forgot about Conan.

Gao Mo continued to concentrate and read the task text clearly before Conan ran back to the villa - [Protect Xiaolan], [Find out the real murderer] and [Who is Ren Sanlang].

Three appeared at once, and they were all normal tasks.

Conan finally looks a lot better.

Suzuki Ayako stayed in the villa and could not see Gao Mo. Seeing this, Gao Mo did not hesitate and started to draw tasks directly.

[Ota Masaru - Get Xiaolan]

Disgusting glowing words appeared, and the difficulty was second only to the Fatty Takahashi mission.

Gao Mo shrank back into the attic and continued to extract with an expressionless face.

He was willing to trade his mustache's lifetime luck for a normal mission.

First, I would choose Conan. Second, I would choose Suzuki Ayako, who still doesn't know the mission content. Even Sonoko and Xiaolan would be fine...

[Conan - Protect Xiaolan]

"call!"

Gao Mo breathed a sigh of relief and was sincerely grateful to the man with the mustache in his heart.

I'm sorry, good partner.

Protecting Xiaolan, although it sounds not easy, it would be more like a joke in other places - it has always been Xiaolan who protected him, but it is indeed the most suitable task for him at the moment.

He just needs to watch and let Xiaolan perform normally.

Both Xiaolan and her father's fighting power decreases when they are nervous and afraid. In this regard, he and Xiaolan cooperated very well last time.

Gao Mo's eyes narrowed slightly when he remembered that Xiaolan had been attacked in the forest.

The seemingly inexplicable parts of an incident often have their own deep logic. The murderer's attack on Xiaolan should not be just to scare her.

Conan may have also noticed something, so he first thought about protecting Xiaolan.

Otherwise, according to this guy's personality, he would have been immersed in reasoning and investigating the case by now.

and also……

He had seen the bandaged weirdo, and neither his body shape nor his flexibility matched that of a fat man - he was definitely not as fat as Takahashi.

Do you have any accomplices?

Gao Mo rubbed his hair with a headache.

There seems to be a very critical factor in this, but it is difficult to grasp.

Detecting a case doesn't rely solely on observation; grasping the key points and logical reasoning are equally important...

Otherwise, he would be like he is now. His thinking is just a little bit short and he can think of it very easily, but he is stuck at the door and can't get in.

It felt like a very familiar name of an old classmate, it was on the tip of my tongue, but I just couldn't remember it at that moment.

……

"Boom!" The rain outside became heavier and the cliff bridge was completely invisible under the pouring rain.

At the invitation of Suzuki Ayako, everyone went into the house and when they were about to call the police, they found that the phone line was not connected.

I don’t know whether it was affected by thunderstorms or destroyed by someone.

"Ren Sanlang isn't in the room!" Fatty Gao Qiao ran downstairs in a panic, "That figure at the time seemed to be him..."

"How to do?"

"I knew it," the long-haired handsome guy gritted his teeth, "That guy dressed like that, he's definitely not a good person. He might even be a murderer!"

"Anyway, let's all go to the villa and search it first," the middle-parted man continued filming. "By the way, lock all the doors and windows. When the rain stops and it's daybreak, we'll go down the mountain together and call the police."

"That's right, he was only one person after all... Chikako was killed because she was left alone outside. Be careful, and nothing will happen."

"Takahashi, why are you still holding that broken axe?"

"Ah, I forgot."

"Click!"

Conan followed the group and locked the back door. Suddenly, he noticed the shoes left by Gao Mo beside him. He looked thoughtful but did not say anything.

"What's wrong, Conan?" Ran called out, "Everyone needs to go check the second floor."

"it is good."

"Will this really work?" Sonoko and Xiaolan were inseparable, looking worriedly at the fragile French window, "It can be broken easily..."

"At least it can serve as a warning."

Takahashi pretended to check it.

"After confirming that everything is fine, go to bed early. Otherwise, if Ren Sanlang doesn't show up, we'll scare ourselves to death."

"It's terrible," the long-haired handsome guy also felt a little sleepy, "It's all because of that guy Ren Saburo. Now all I can think about is the corpse of that woman Chikako."

"Yeah, it scared me to death."

Takahashi looked uncomfortable.

"Ren Sanlang should be hiding outside now, so please don't lock the door, otherwise you won't be able to help him later."

"Yes, don't sleep too deeply."

……

attic.

Gao Mo slowed down his breathing and listened to the sounds downstairs.

These people dare to sleep separately...

If it were him, he would definitely force everyone to spend the night in the restaurant.

Is Fatty still targeting Xiaolan?

This guy is so deceptive that he fooled everyone, even Conan didn't suspect anything.

After eavesdropping for a while, Gao Mo took the opportunity to understand the situation while Conan was questioning someone.

Almost everyone was in the restaurant at the time. When the fat man said he wanted to continue repairing the roof, he noticed something was happening outside. Then everyone saw a black shadow of a bandaged man holding Chikako running outside the window.

The camera of the man with middle-parted hair just happened to capture this scene.

Then, everyone went down to the forest under the guidance of the fat man who ran downstairs...

The fat man’s only mistake was probably that he, the real culprit, was not caught on the spot.

Also, Xiaolan may have accidentally gotten hold of some leverage over this guy.

"call!"

It's windy and rainy outside.

Everyone in the villa returned to their rooms one after another, and Conan was pulled over by Xiaolan and Sonoko, who said they were worried about leaving the children in the same room.

"Don't worry, Conan, if that weirdo comes over, I will use karate to deal with him!" Xiaolan promised.

Yuanzi next to her was also holding onto Xiaolan tightly: "Xiaolan, you have to be more reliable this time. I always feel that guy's target is me."

"..."

Conan was speechless for a moment, then turned to Ran and asked, "Sister Ran, do you know why that bandaged man attacked you? For example, did he accidentally offend someone?"

"I don't know. I've been with you almost the entire time since I came here." Xiaolan shook her head and suddenly seemed to remember something. "It seems like there's something that bothers me... but I can't remember what it is."

"Stop talking! You're making me think of Miss Chikako again," Sonoko climbed onto the bed anxiously, wrapping herself up in the quilt. "I was originally thinking of finding a Prince Charming, but what the hell is this..."

Gao Mo waited until there was no more movement downstairs before quietly sticking his head out.

After a while, after making sure that no one was running around, Gao Mo found the ladder left by the fat man when he repaired the roof, and carefully went down from the attic window to the balcony corridor on the second floor.

Xiaolan lives at the other end, so she has to pass through other people's rooms.

Gao Mo took a few steps and saw a long-haired young man standing in front of the French doors and windows smoking, so he quickly pressed his back against the wall to hide.

The lack of information made him more and more confused, and he felt that each of these people was very suspicious.

It is even possible for several people to act together.

and many more……

Gao Mo looked in the direction of the suspension bridge, and suddenly a key clue connected his mind.
