Ke Xuezhen, starting with hypnotizing Vermouth.

"Yes, there are so many of us, there's nothing to worry about. That bandaged monster only dares to attack children!"

Ota Masaru glanced at Conan.

Ryoichi Takahashi climbed down from the roof to the second-floor balcony, but just as he was about to enter through the floor-to-ceiling window, panic instantly filled his chubby face.

"Hey, who are you?!"

What are you doing!

"Look everyone, there are people outside!"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the window.

A memorable scene has occurred!

A person covered in bandages was seen rushing past the window with Chikako Ikeda in his arms!

"You know what, it really does look like it..."

Gu De was somewhat moved.

Ryoichi Takahashi is indeed a talented person, but he's not of much use to the organization.

"It's...it's Chikako!"

Ayako Suzuki's body went limp and she almost fell to the ground, but luckily Gu De reached out and put his arm around her waist.

"Quick, chase after them!"

Conan immediately rushed out, followed by Masaru Ota and Hiroki Kakutani.

This time, Gu De still didn't move.

"Brother Gu De?"

Ran Mouri was a little embarrassed.

Ayako Suzuki looked at Gu De with a puzzled expression.

He seemed incredibly skilled on TV, and supposedly even defeated the renowned kendo master Yuuji Suwa. So why this time…?

"I'm coming too! Wait for me!"

Ryoichi Takahashi, panting heavily, also went downstairs and rushed out.

Only then did Gu Decai look at the group and say, "You need to be mentally prepared for what's coming next."

"If you're too timid, stay inside the villa."

Mental preparation?

The three women were all somewhat bewildered.

But Ran Mouri immediately understood what was going on.

It turns out that Brother Gu De had been prepared all along!

"I go!"

Ran Mouri was the first to express her opinion.

Sonoko Suzuki and her older sister Ayako Suzuki immediately raised their hands as well.

Sonoko Suzuki was afraid to be in her room by herself, while Ayako Suzuki was worried about her classmates.

"When you go out later, don't make a sound no matter what you see. The truth will make you feel terrible."

Request flowers

Gu De left with a single sentence and immediately chased after him.

The three women followed closely behind.

The heavy rain outside gradually subsided, but the ground remained muddy.

Not long after they chased after him, Gu De suddenly stopped and hugged Ran Mouri. Ran struggled for a moment before realizing that something was wrong ahead!

Immediately afterwards, the Suzuki sisters also ran over.

In the dim woods, there was a short, stout figure ahead.

It's Ryoichi Takahashi!

Ayako Suzuki immediately recognized her classmate and friend.

But then, in the darkness, Takahashi Ryoichi suddenly pulled a round object out of his clothes!

"boom!"

A bolt of lightning flashed.

Under the pale light, the group instantly saw Takahashi Ryoichi and what he was holding!

That was actually Chikako Ikeda's head!

"what……"

Ran Mouri's mouth was covered by Gu De, but Sonoko Suzuki, who was next to her, opened her mouth to scream.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, her older sister, Ayako Suzuki, covered it!

"Chikako, you should just stay here."

"I'll bring them to you later!"

Ryoichi Takahashi let out a chilling laugh in the cold rain and darkness.

He then went to lure his teammates over.

Gu De did not let go of his hand until he disappeared.

"hu~hu~"

Ran Mouri gasped for breath, looking incredulous. She wanted to look at Chikako Ikeda's head, but dared not turn her head and only dared to steal glances out of the corner of her eye.

"Gu...Gu De, did you...find out a long time ago?"

Ayako Suzuki asked, her face pale.

Gu De nodded, then shook his head: "I just felt something was wrong, but I've only just confirmed it now."

[Gain 39 units of Sonoko Suzuki's emotional value from the story character]

[Gain 35 points of Ran Mouri's emotional value]

[Gain 27 points of Ayako Suzuki's emotional value]

The three women widened their eyes simultaneously.

"What...what do we do?"

Ayako Suzuki glanced at Chikako's head not far away. Just now, Ryoichi Takahashi had pieced that head back together with the body that had been left there earlier.

However, the body also lacks limbs.

This shows that Ryoichi Takahashi has broken up Chikako Ikeda!

Is this still the same person I used to know?

However, Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki recovered better, since they had no prior interaction with Ryoichi Takahashi.

Seeing Gu De's reaction, the two were immediately relieved.

It turns out that everything was under Brother Gu De's control!

"Wait a minute, Ryoichi Takahashi will bring the others over later."

Gu De patted Ayako Suzuki on the shoulder.

……

Conan, Ota Katsu, and Kakutani Hiroki ran around the woods like headless flies for a while, but there was no sign of the strange man.

"Damn it, he got away!"

"But why is Gu De behaving so strangely today? Is he scared?"

Conan felt like he was overlooking something.

"Little brother, your Mr. Gu De is not very reliable."

"As a boy, why didn't he come out to chase the bandaged monster? Instead, he hid with the girl!"

Ota Masaru wiped the rain from his forehead and said with some dissatisfaction.

"By the way, why haven't I seen Takahashi?"

Hiroki Kakutani was also panting heavily, running wildly through the dark and cold rain, making his large frame whet his breath.

"Keep looking!"

Conan gritted his teeth; this was a golden opportunity for him to surpass Gu De!

No matter what the reason Gu De didn't chase after her, as long as he achieves results on his side, he will definitely be able to change Xiao Lan's opinion!

Conan continued searching the vicinity.

"Da da da~"

The sound of running footsteps could be heard.

The group recognized him as Ryoichi Takahashi.

Looking at the three people present, Takahashi Ryoichi gave a cold smile.

Chikako Ikeda's arm was nearby!

"what!"

Hiroki Kakutani quickly made a discovery: he pulled out one of Chikako Ikeda's crippled legs from the bushes!

"Ah! Here...here..."

Ota Katsuya touched an arm.

"Oh no, how could this happen!"

Seeing his chance, Takahashi Ryoichi quickly walked to the side of the head he had just thrown away.
