Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 22 The mysterious man cut off the escape route

"Wrapped...a person wrapped in a bandage?!!" Everyone gathered in the living room, listening to Kazuto Kinda talking about what happened to him in the woods just now.

Kanedaichi walked around in the woods for more than half an hour, and luckily found a piece of ground without leaves. There was a section of footprints from when he ran away, and he barely recognized the direction and walked back.

When he came back, he had already lost the umbrella when he was running away. He was drenched in the rain, and when he accidentally fell while running away, he was covered in mud. He looked extremely embarrassed.

"No way..." The girls couldn't believe it.

Most of these people have been staying in the villa, saying that they did not see the bandaged people passing by.

"What I said is true! By the way, Ms. Ikeda and Mr. Kakutani were also in the woods just now, didn't you meet?"

"I didn't see it." Tomokako Ikeda directly denied it.

"Don't tell me you didn't play a prank, anyway, you were the only one at that time." Ota Katsuki said angrily.

"No, someone really attacked me!"

"I haven't seen it either. Chikako can vouch for me, right Chikako." Kakutani Hiroki said.

"Who will testify for you, and no one wants to take a walk with you. Obviously you insisted on following, and besides, you don't know where you went after that."

"That's because it's raining heavily, and I came back to get an umbrella."

"Hmph, I think you are afraid of thunder, so find a reason to run away!"

"Tomokako!"

"How about it!"

Seeing that Tomokako Ikeda was quarreling with Hiroki Kakutani again, Ayako Suzuki had to go up to persuade the fight again.

"Hmph, those two people are almost on the pill..." Katsuzu Ota passed on a strange yin and yang energy.

"Haven't you guys seen that man? I saw him on the suspension bridge when I came here. Not only was that man's face covered with bandages, but he was also wearing a black cloak and a black lotus-leaf hat!" Kanedaichi said unwillingly. Confirm again.

"If you say that, I have some impressions. When I came here, I saw people dressed like this from a distance. It seemed weird, but I couldn't see the specific face clearly." Ryoichi Takahashi said.

"Yes, this is the person!"

Then Ota Katsuki and Kakutani Hiroki also admitted that they had seen this person from a distance in different places, but they both thought it was a resident of other places on the mountain.

Ayako Suzuki dismissed the idea right away.Apart from this villa, there are only two villas on the other side of the suspension bridge close to the foot of the mountain, and they are also villas used by rich people for vacation. Usually there is no one; there is a valley not far behind the villa, and after crossing the valley You have to climb a few mountains to see them.

"No matter what, call the police first!"

"Hey! You really believe what this little star said!" Ota Katsuki said.

"Even if I lied, there is such a person, isn't it?" Kinda Kazuto retorted.

"This is my family's villa, and I have to be responsible for the safety of each of you." Suzuki Ayako's squinted eyes revealed a look of determination, and she made the phone call without looking back.

However, the phone didn't work.

"How could it be? You were fine at noon?" Ayako was a little panicked.

"Could it be that thunder interrupted the line?" Everyone was discussing.

"Could it be that man in bandages who cut off the line? He wants to trap us here and kill each of us slowly and one by one!" Takahashi Ryoichi shouted with a horrified expression: "I don't want to stay here anymore!"

Takahashi Ryoichi uttered a mournful cry, and then ran out of the villa as if flying.

Unexpectedly, this big man is less courageous than a woman.

"Wait a minute, it's too dangerous for you to be alone!" Several men chased after him, including Kanedaichiji and Conan.

Although Takahashi Ryoichi is short and fat, he can run as fast as a ball, but he is not slow.

Everyone soon caught up with him by the suspension bridge, but it was not because others were running faster than him, but because there was no road ahead.

The drawbridge is broken!
"Why is the bridge broken!"

"Maybe it's because of the aging of the rope!"

At this moment, Kindaichiji felt someone tugging at his sleeve.

Looking down, Conan tugged on his sleeve while pointing to the stake where the rope was tied.

"No, the rope was broken on purpose." Kindaichiji looked at it and said.

"Don't be alarmist here!" Ota Katsura said.

"If you don't believe me, look at this wooden stake tied with a rope. There are obvious marks on it."

"Really... Really..." Everyone stepped forward to check.

As expected, gaps were densely packed and messy all over the stakes.

"This is the mark left by multiple hacking with a sharp weapon. It should be something like an axe. The bandaged man I saw attacked me with an axe."

"Sure enough, it's the bandaged weirdo!" Ryoichi Takahashi shouted in panic again.

"By the way, aren't you still a detective? Find that weirdo quickly!" Kadotani Hiroki was also a little panicked.

"Detective?" Takahashi Ryoichi, Ota Katsuki, and Suzuki Ayako who caught up later changed their expressions, obviously not knowing about this matter.

So Hiroki Kakutani learned about the general situation of the murder incident in the location team. After all, he was a media person and was fairly well-informed.

So in an instant, several expectant eyes looked at Kazuto Kinda.

"Okay!" Tomokako Ikeda, who slowly followed behind, smiled contemptuously: "What kind of bandage man, how boring! In my opinion, whether it's Jintianyi being attacked, the telephone line being cut off, and the suspension bridge, these It’s all just someone who wants to play tricks, do these things to scare us and make fun of it, I’ve seen this kind of 'frightening photography' and other battles a lot, and they are already ready to play us!"

While talking, Tomokako Ikeda walked back to the villa leisurely.

The rest of the people looked at each other in dismay.

"Now the good way out is blocked, and it's dangerous to go down the mountain in the rain. Besides, it's getting late now, so we can only stay in the villa for one night. Let's go down the mountain together after the rain stops tomorrow. "Suzuki Ayako suggested.

"we can only do this."

"Kazuru Kaneda!" Tomokako Ikeda, who had already walked a certain distance, suddenly stopped him from a distance as if remembering something.

"Don't you want a role? I suddenly had a good idea. Come to the room with me to discuss it."

"Huh? Now?"

"Yes, right now!"

"Myself?"

"This is a secret, what do you say!"

"This······"

"Hmph! A boy is a boy!" Ota Katsura said disdainfully.

Kindaichiji was a little hesitant. On the one hand, he was afraid that Tomokako Ikeda would really have that kind of thought. After all, he had heard so many true and false insiders in his previous life, and besides, he didn't want to leave Conan too far now.

"What are you thinking! Hurry up and keep up! Otherwise Yoko Okino won't be given the role!"

This is already a blatant threat.

Kindaichiji looked to the person next to him as if asking for help.

"It doesn't matter. Although Zhijiazi has a bad temper and is a bit willful, she has a good nature and her mind is on her career. She will definitely not be that kind of person." Suzuki Ayako said.

Now that someone has said that, what is he afraid of as a big man!
"Then...can I take Conan with me?"

"Of course not!"
