Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

"Little sorrow!"

Winnett could not wait to accumulate strength to hit the door, intending to break the door lock, but the pure wooden door was very solid, and the result of the first collision was not very smooth. The next second, the door was unexpectedly opened, and Xiao Ai appeared with one hand pressing on her chest, with a lingering fear expression: when she made such an expression, her ice-blue eyes were incredibly deep, with a sense of fragility, and the skin on her face trembled slightly.

Through Ai's figure, I looked towards the window, which was open at the moment, and raindrops splashed into the room... Ai grabbed the shirt on Winnet's belly, turned her head away, and then took a deep breath to calm down.

Realizing her loss of composure, Ai quickly calmed herself down and turned her head silently to look towards the open window.

"Just when you called me, a man covered in bandages appeared on the balcony..." Xiao Ai's voice trembled. She pointed her finger and pointed at the direction. "He had just opened the window at that time. He probably realized that he had caused a commotion, so he left quickly without doing anything."

It seems that this bandaged weirdo had some reservations and did not directly destroy the window.

Winnet could clearly see an irregular crack near the center of the window, and next to the crack was the mortise lock on the inside of the French window, which had been opened.

A close call.

If she hadn't noticed the unusual thing on the balcony, it is very likely that Ai would have been attacked by this strange guy.

"Could it be that...he is..."

Xiao Ai spoke with some uncertainty. The first person she thought of was a member of the organization. However, although the other party was dressed horribly, they did not give her the cold and trembling feeling she had when facing the members of the organization.

Winnett put her arm around Ai's shoulders and held her in her arms.

"Don't worry, I'm right here."

Being hugged tightly by Winnet, Ai showed a gentle expression and gently moved her fingers, stroking her hair.

"I'm not the weak female character in the movie who needs to be looked after all the time. I just got scared suddenly."

Ai said in a nonchalant voice. If Winnett thought that she had failed to protect him, it would be foolish... Although it was foolish, it also made her feel a little happy that Winnett was paying attention to her. Feeling the fingers holding her back trembling slightly, Ai pinched Winnett's shoulders.

"Don't act like I'm dying."

This is more effective, Xiao Ai thought, and bit Winnet's ear in an unhappy tone.

Winnet shuddered, and she stood up immediately with a posture like a frightened servant who had done something wrong.

Is it so effective? Xiao Ai was thinking about it when she heard the sound of running. She understood why Winnett adjusted her state quickly - they didn't want to be discovered about their secrets.

We cannot allow similar things to happen again!

Winnet was still terrified. If she had discovered it a little later, she might have lost Ai. Judging from the behavior of the bandaged man just now, it was obviously a purposeful attack. The location of their room was not prominent, and the other party used a diamond drill to cut the glass, so he must have been prepared.

However, the target is not necessarily Ai, because at the time, Ai was the only one in the room on the second floor.

Winnett wanted to feel Ai's body temperature for a little longer, but the troublesome guy had already caught up with her.

"Are you okay!?"

Conan rushed to the door and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Winnet and Ai were safe and sound.

Xiao Ai shook her head and objectively explained the situation.

"I was lying in bed at the time, and because of the sound of rain, I didn't notice the man. When Winnet shouted my name, I reacted, heard the sound of the window opening, and then saw -"

"A man in a black cloak with a bandaged face rushed in with an axe in his hand. I ran to the door out of fear, but he seemed to retreat because of Winnet's shouting. When I opened the door, he disappeared."

Ai knew that she was a little late when she turned around, but judging from the fact that Winette did not rush forward to subdue the other person, the strange man had already left before she opened the door.

"I also saw that sneaky man appear on the windowsill at the edge of the woods, so I rushed over."

What an amazing speed!

Conan complained in his heart, then walked past the two people and went to the window where the bandaged monster had appeared and checked. At this time, Sonoko also rushed over, and when she saw that both of them were fine, she began to feel the aftereffects of her rapid running and gasped for breath.

Taking out a handkerchief from his pocket, Conan picked up the piece of glass that had fallen on the window, and then looked at the situation on the balcony.

Strange... no footprints?

Could it be that the bandaged man had been lurking in the villa before the rain started? But why did he attack Huibara? Was it related to the Black Organization? No, Huibara was the only one in the room at the time. It is possible that he saw many people leaving the villa and chose this opportunity to commit the crime.

Because if it is about to rain, people who leave the villa will hold umbrellas, and naturally they will not look up deliberately... However, the height of the villa is not very high, and you can still see it from an oblique angle after leaving the villa for a distance.

"Strange!"

Conan called out.

……

270 Blizzard Villa Mode

Conan's muttering caught the attention of Ai and Winnet.

After a short time together, Ai has become familiar with Conan's routine of intervening in cases: cleverly using the identity of a child to sneak into the scene, find suspicious places after investigation, and then make surprised sounds such as "How strange" and "Ahhh" to attract the attention of the police.

"What did you find?"

"Isn't it strange that there were no footprints outside the window sill, even though it was raining outside?"

After hearing what Conan said, Winnet also went forward to check.

The reason why she didn't rush into pursuit was, on the one hand, because she was worried about Ai's condition, and on the other hand, the rain interfered with the distinction of sounds. The villa was surrounded by forests. If the attacker was very familiar with the woods, even if she moved quickly, she would not be able to catch up with him. Moreover, there was only Ayako preparing dinner downstairs in the villa. If the bandaged monster was still lurking in the villa, there was a possibility that he would make a comeback.

Winnett moved to the narrow tunnel of the balcony. There were no other traces left at the scene except the cut glass. There was some dust on the balcony, and even if her shoes were stained with dust, no obvious footprints would be left.

She looked up and saw the thick red eaves preventing the rain from outside from splashing in.

...Indeed, as Conan said, the criminal might have been lurking in this villa for a long time, waiting for the opportunity.

"That person may have been lying in ambush in the villa."

Winnet confirmed with Conan again: "There are no footprints, right?"

"Ah."

Yuanzi still didn't quite understand the situation. She covered her shoulder and asked in a low voice:

"Did he come in from heaven?"

"No, it's raining outside now. If the man with bandages broke in suddenly, he should have left muddy footprints, but..."

"That is to say, he has been lurking in this villa since early morning, or he is someone in the villa?"

Xiao Ai took over the topic.

Sonoko was shocked by Ai's conclusion and muttered, "No way."

Winnett walked to the edge of the windowsill and faced the big tree planted in front of the villa: "Since he has failed once, he should not act rashly. I think he most likely climbed in from this tree. We were all in the living room at the time, so it couldn't be the front door."

"too horrible……"

Sonoko sighed, and then thought: "Should we call the police?"

At this critical moment, a scream of "Ah" suddenly came from below.

Conan and Sonoko recognized it in an instant and said in unison: "It's Xiaolan!"

Then they rushed out of the room together.

Winnet and Xiao Ai confirmed each other's expressions and followed.

...Since the sound can be heard, it means he is still on the outskirts of the forest, which also fits the time when the bandaged man escaped.

Winnett felt that she could not let this dangerous man do whatever he wanted, so she decided not to let him escape this time.

“We need to speed up.”

"Ok?"

Winnett picked up Ai by the waist.

"Ah! What are you doing suddenly..."

"Will you be my eyes?"

"Um……"

Due to the rain, the sunset had no chance to appear and it was almost night. In this state, the vision in the forest was even more limited.

Ai told Winnet the direction of Conan and the others, and soon Winnet caught up with the two of them.

"That person is..."

Standing in the forest was only Ota.

Conan and Sonoko stopped.

"Where's Xiaolan!?"

Ota Masaru didn't look very happy, he held his umbrella under his arm and a cigarette in his mouth.

"She ran away just now because she was afraid of thunder."

Afraid of thunder?

Conan didn't believe this explanation. He thought that this man must have wanted to do something wrong to Xiaolan, which made her run away in fear.

However, he felt a little relieved, at least he was not attacked by the bandaged monster.

"It's too early to be relieved now. Which direction?"

asked Xiao Ai, who was in Winnet's arms.

Ota Masaru ignored her.

"There are dangerous people around the villa, tell us which direction quickly!"

Winnet spoke in an unusually stern tone, her eyes wide and oppressive like an angry cat, her brows twisted into a knot.

Ota Katsu had never seen Winnett like this, and was shocked. Then he realized that the problem might be serious, so he stretched out his finger and explained.

"She ran this way about two minutes ago."

Conan was so impatient that he didn't have time to notice Winnet's changes and immediately chased after her.

He gritted his teeth.

...If this bandaged monster has nothing to do with the black organization and is just a crazy pervert who kills randomly, then Xiaolan will also be included in the list like Haibara.

However, he was soon overtaken by Winnet.

At this time, Xiaolan, who was frightened by Ota's kiss, stopped running and looked around. No matter east, south, west or north, it all looked the same - a barrier formed by tall poplar trees. She could no longer figure out which direction the villa was.

QQ: 91 49 037 98

"It's terrible, how did I end up in this place..."

Although Ota Katsu made some slightly outrageous moves, he was the only person she could rely on at this time. Xiaolan turned around in place and shouted loudly.

"Where are you, Brother Ota? If you're nearby, please answer me!"

However, what she got was not Ota's reply, but an inharmonious sound of breaking air. Xiaolan, who had been training karate for many years, reacted instinctively. She was so frightened that she jumped backwards and avoided the oncoming axe blade.

It was the person whose head was buried in bandages that we saw on the way to the villa!

The missed swing hit the surface of the earth.

"what!"

Xiaolan screamed again.

At this time, Winnet and the others who were searching around also heard her terrified cry.

Very close!

Winnet locked the direction immediately, snatched the umbrella from Yuanzi's hand, and threw it out with a rustling sound.

The bandaged monster, who was preparing for a second attack, saw the umbrella flying past him, and hurriedly hid in the depths of the forest, running into the bushes where there was no road.

"Sister Xiaolan!"

Conan rushed out in a hurry and saw Xiaolan sitting sideways on the ground with a horrified expression on her face. Then he saw the figure of the bandaged monster fleeing from another direction.

That guy!

From the figure, Conan was sure that he was the same person who attacked Haibara in the villa.

At this time, Yuanzi also arrived.

"What happened, Xiaolan? Ah, it's that suspicious person!"

Winnet also arrived carrying Ai.

Her umbrella was stuck in the ground two or three meters away from Xiaolan.

"That person has already run away... How long do you want to hold him?"
