Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

——How could this happen?

Conan put the camera on the stool. At this time, Ayako, who was troubled by the atmosphere, planned to make coffee to relieve everyone's fatigue.

"Before Chikako-nee was killed, was Ayako-nee the last person to see her?"

"Yes."

"Was there something wrong with her at that time?"

Suzuki Ayako suddenly remembered and said, "Oh, Chikako seemed to be looking at something stuck in the crack of the door, which looked like a letter. Her face changed immediately after she saw it."

Conan is even more convinced that the murderer is someone in the villa.

Chikako was called outside by the letter, so the other party's slippers were at the back door. Not only that, if she sneaked out through the back door, the person who sent the letter must have caught something on her. In other words, he must be one of the members of the Film Research Club.

However, there was still one thing he couldn't figure out.

If the target is clearly Chikako, then why would the bandaged monster attack Haibara and Xiaolan?

Even if the purpose is to create the image of a psychopathic murderer and disrupt the police's judgment, there is no need to stick to a certain goal.

Huiyuan clearly changed rooms, but he still insisted on attacking...

Could it be that……

He suddenly remembered what Huibara said.

When she first came to the villa, she rashly opened someone else's room. That is to say, at that time, the murderer thought she saw something she shouldn't have seen... But why did the murderer just break the window and leave?

Do not……

If the people in the Film Research Society knew Miss Winnett, they probably knew that she was very skilled...

Conan thought that the guy whose door was opened by Huiyuan at that time might be the murderer. Just when he wanted to go over and ask -

Boom!

A flash of thunder passed by.

The villa suddenly became dark.

"The power is out!" Yuanzi shouted in surprise.

"It must be the lightning that cut off the power lines." Ota Katsu judged.

"I think I'll go to the kitchen to get a candle." Ayako was the first to respond.

However, it was pitch black and I could hardly see anything.

The short Conan was blocked by the table and couldn't find the silent Ai for a while.

"Are you okay on your own?" Kakutani asked worriedly.

"Well, I'm very familiar with the villa."

Winette felt that Ayako was very brave. With a power outage and the possibility of a murderer, most girls would have been scared to death and unable to move.

"How about I go with you, Ayako?" Winnet said.

"Winette, you are not familiar with the villa, so it is better for you to wait here. I will be back soon."

Ayako thought Winnet mainly relied on experience to judge space, so she rejected her request.

"Then I'll go with you." Xiaolan said.

"I am coming too!"

Conan was worried that the two people would encounter the bandaged monster, so he followed them.

The room where the candles were placed was on the first floor and was quite close. When Conan thought he didn't have to ask any questions, a strange sound suddenly came out.

Conan's eyes widened, and he quickly ran towards the living room. Then he widened his eyes...

"What--"

Xiaolan and Ayako arrived shortly after and asked, "What happened?"

The candlelight illuminated the living room. Under Winnett, a man wrapped in bandages fell to the ground, with one hand held behind his back by Winnett, his knee pressed on the back of his neck, and his face facing the ground. His appearance was undoubtedly that of a bandage man, and Winnett was firmly holding him.

"Let us see your true face!" Winnett grabbed the bandage on his head and pulled it down. The bandage on half of his face was torn off, revealing his true appearance. Winnett's eyes widened, "You are... Takahashi? But why..."

Winnet was shocked, and the others also widened their eyes.

"Why is it Takahashi!?"

"What the hell does this happen?"

Although Winnett vaguely felt that the members of the Film Research Club were dissatisfied with Chikako, she did not expect that the bandaged monster was Takahashi, who looked honest and simple.

After what happened before, she vaguely felt that the bandaged monster was indeed targeting Ai, so when the power went out, she pretended that she could not find Ai.

Sure enough, the bandage man was fooled immediately.

She broke the handle of the axe before the bandaged man could catch him.

"Ha ha……"

Conan stared at this strange scene.

——There’s no need for a detective to appear.

……

274 Bomb Stolen

Conan stared at Winnett speechlessly and found that Takahashi Ryoichi, who was lying on the ground, was covered in cold sweat and gasping in pain.

——The fighting ability of this young pastor lady is probably far superior to that of Xiaolan. Considering the obstruction of vision, the gap is even greater.

...Have you started practicing martial arts since childhood?

Could it be that Haibara feels safer staying with this person?

...The priest has the attribute of exorcism and is unparalleled in close combat.

Come on! This isn't a video game!

"Takahashi, what on earth is going on?"

Ayako, holding a candlestick, asked Takahashi in a timid voice.

Takahashi is now wearing the bandaged monster costume, and no matter how many excuses he makes, it is difficult to prove himself.

Ayako understood this.

The captured Takahashi sighed and was too lazy to continue acting.

Seeing that he had no weapon and that she had dislocated his shoulder, so he couldn't suddenly attack and hurt anyone, Winnett let go of him and pulled Ai back two meters to give Takahashi a chance to explain and catch his breath.

Takahashi was wearing a black cloak and stood up. A model in the shape of a human head fell to the ground. At this moment, he was completely different from his previous fat appearance, and the round belly was just an illusion.

At this moment, Winnet quickly sorted out the situation in her mind and understood why Ai was attacked by him.

"Yes, I am the bandage freak."

Seeing that he admitted it frankly, Conan was happy to save himself the trouble. After all, there was no one like his uncle at the scene whose voice he could borrow. Besides, he felt it was too dangerous to inject the anesthetic needle in front of Winnet.

Both his insight and hearing were incredibly strong.

Although on the surface she is on Haibara Ai's side, their identities cannot be revealed to too many people, otherwise more people will be implicated and will be more likely to fall into danger.

He was clear about the trade-offs in this regard.

"Takahashi... is it really you?"

Kakutani still felt unbelievable, and so did Ota beside him.

"But... when the bandaged man appeared at the first-floor window, Takahashi was with us? How could it be him..."

Ota Masaru questioned it, but he was not so sure because Takahashi was wearing the clothes of the bandaged monster at that moment.

When Winnet saw the fake head fall out of Takahashi's arms, she roughly understood what had happened.

"I think Takahashi was on the second floor using fishing lines or something like that to move the cloak and the dummy head past us. As someone in charge of movie props, it's not surprising that he could do this."

"And, if I'm guessing correctly, the reason you did this is related to Atsuko, right?"

When Takahashi heard the name "Atsuko", he immediately cried out in grief and anger:

"Yes, I did this for Atsuko!"

"Takahashi...you..."

Kadoya didn't know what to say, Takahashi was also his good friend.

Takahashi explained with a sad tone:

"Back then, Atsuko secretly showed me the stories she had written and said she wanted to become a novelist. Her eyes were full of hope... How could she possibly think of hanging herself?"

“At first, I couldn’t understand it at all… but after I watched the Blue Kingdom that is now being released by Chikako, it all made sense to me!”

"What, the Cyan Kingdom?"

"Could it be that……"

"That's right, the story of Chikako's debut novel, Blue Kingdom, is exactly the same as the story of the Land of the Empty Color that Atsuko showed me back then!"

"Could it be that Chikako..."

"Plagiarized her work..."

"That's right, Chikako won the Newcomer Screenplay Award with that work, and became a famous playwright today!"

Ota Masaru continued to ask: "How do you know that Atsuko committed suicide because of this?"

"On the day Atsuko committed suicide, which was also the day before Chikako won the award, she called me and told me that she could no longer trust anyone!"

"The letter to Chikako was also..." Ayako began.

"Yes, in fact, the content of the letter is 'If you don't want anyone to know about this, go to the forest alone'. After leading her there, I will chop off her head. Who told that hateful woman to trample on Atsuko's ideals like that!"

"Then why did you attack that little girl and Xiaolan?" asked Sonoko.

"When she first arrived at this villa, she accidentally opened my room. I'm not sure if she saw that I wasn't actually fat... As for attacking Xiaolan, it was just that I happened to see her alone in the forest, and I wanted you to think that the bandage monster was a murderer who didn't care about his targets."

"After doing all this, I have to go and accompany Atsuko."

As Takahashi spoke, he reached into his bosom and pulled out a short dagger, placing it against his chin.

"Takahashi!"

Kadoya tried to stop him, but was forced back by Takahashi swinging his blade.

"I have decided to live in another world with Atsuko as a messenger of justice who destroys the enemy!"

After he said this, he was about to stab the short blade into the neck.

"You have no right to call yourself that."

Before Takahashi could finish accumulating strength, Winette kicked at his clenched hands, and the short blade flew to the corner of the long table. Then she swung a punch and hit Takahashi's left face.

A tooth flew out.

Takahashi fell to the ground like a stick.

"Winette!"

Ayako wanted to call out to Winette and ask her to stop.

"Perhaps you planned all this to help Atsuko get revenge. But you tried to kill Ai again and again. Because you were afraid of being exposed, you even wanted to kill a little girl to hide your sin. How can you call yourself a messenger of justice? You are just a devil under the banner of revenge. You will go to hell after death. Do you think the kind Atsuko wants to see you in this ugly state?"

As Winnett spoke, she lifted the fallen Takahashi into the air with both hands.

Those cold eyes looked at him like judgment.

Qianxun's first release: 95010909

"Yes...I'm sorry."

Seeing how dejected and dispirited he looked, Winette let go of his hand. Takahashi returned to the ground with weak legs and knelt on the ground.

——The devil met a stronger devil.

Xiao Ai, who was blocked behind Winnet, couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

If it wasn't in public, Winnet would have most likely crushed Takahashi, who attacked him, to dust. When it comes to killing ability, even the killer can only dwarf him.
