"Anyway, the room has been confirmed, and now I have plenty of free time, so I might as well go see Maple Leaf."

Thinking this, Gao Muming went downstairs and walked towards the entrance.

"Mr. Takagi, are you leaving?"

Suzuki Ayako was walking towards the living room with a plate of biscuits when she saw Takagi Akira walking towards the entrance and asked.

"It's rare for me to have time to relax in the woods. It's a bit too boring to just stay in the room. I want to go and see the maple leaves. I will be back before dinner."

After changing his shoes, Gao Muming pushed open the door of the villa and walked towards the maple forest.

After taking a walk in the woods for a while, Gao Muming looked at the dark clouds rolling in the sky and couldn't help frowning.

"It looks like it's going to rain."

Gao Muming looked at his position and found that he was already near the suspension bridge.

Looking at the suspension bridge swaying in the wind, Takagi Akira couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"I always feel that in detective dramas, whenever a suspension bridge appears, it will be damaged, and then there is the classic scene of cutting the telephone wires."

"..."

Thinking of this, Gao Muming, who was originally planning to return to the villa, suddenly stopped.

"That won't do. Reality isn't like anime where you can solve a case without caring how the person gets back. Even if the case is solved, I'm afraid we won't be able to get in touch with the outside world for a while. I didn't find any other villas when I was walking just now. This means that if we're not careful, this place in the middle of nowhere will become an isolated island."

"No, to be on the safe side, I'd better go get the satellite phone in the car."

I walked across the suspension bridge to my car, opened the trunk, and took out my umbrella and satellite phone.

Just as Gao Muming was on his way back through the suspension bridge, a strange man with bandages wrapped around his body, wearing a black cloak and a black tulip-shaped hat was standing by the suspension bridge holding a hand axe.

At this time, the weather was very appropriate and it started to rain, making the already difficult to walk on the suspension bridge even more difficult to walk on.

Gao Muming, who had just walked to the middle of the suspension bridge, looked at the strange man. Gao Muming understood what the other party wanted to do, so he rushed to the bridge head.

The strange man standing at the bridge head began to slash at the rope of the suspension bridge, trying to destroy the suspension bridge and kill Gao Muming at the same time.

As the strange man moved, the suspension bridge swayed more violently in the wind and rain. Seeing the rope used to fix the suspension bridge on one side being cut off, the violent shaking of the suspension bridge made Gao Muming stagger.

Seeing this, the monster swung even harder. Knowing that it would be dangerous if he continued like this, Gao Muming took out his usual self-defense weapon, an elastic telescopic stick, from his pocket and threw it at the monster who was chopping the rope at the bridgehead.

Despite his unstable footing, the telescopic stick thrown by Gao Muming still collided with the hand axe in the monster's hand and knocked it away.

Based on the previous attack alone, the weirdo knew that he was probably no match for Gao Muming. Seeing Gao Muming getting closer and closer, he didn't care about anything else. He quickly picked up the hatchet on the ground and fled towards the villa.

Because Takagi Akira was standing on the suspension bridge with a low line of sight, he could not see the opponent's escape route.

When Gao Muming staggered across the shaky suspension bridge, the rope at the crack finally broke. As all the ropes on one side broke, the deck of the suspension bridge stood up.

Knowing that the situation was a bit serious, Gao Muming quickly ran towards the villa. Just when he was almost at the villa, a thunder suddenly exploded in the sky, and at that moment the sky was illuminated as if it were daytime.

Then a shrill scream came from the woods.

When Takagi Akira rushed over, he saw Sonoko helping Xiaolan up, while Conan was looking at Xiaolan, whose face was a little pale, with a worried look on his face.

"I just heard screaming, what happened to you?"

When they heard the voice, the three of them were frightened, but when they saw Takagi Akira, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaolan's face was pale and she answered with lingering fear.

"I was just attacked by the bandaged weirdo we saw earlier."

After hearing what Xiaolan said, Gao Muming blurted out.

"Were you attacked too?"

Ignoring the stunned looks on the faces of the few people, Gao Muming continued his story.

"Just now I crossed the suspension bridge to get an umbrella from the car. When I came back across the suspension bridge, I was also attacked by that bandage weirdo. He tried to destroy the suspension bridge and make me fall to my death, but he failed."

"However, unfortunately, all the ropes on one side of the suspension bridge have broken. I'm afraid it will be useless for a while."

Yuanzi on the side became a little nervous.

"The direction that weirdo fled was the villa. We must hurry back and tell everyone to be on high alert."

After everyone returned to the villa, they gathered in the living room.

"So a bandaged monster attacked Xiaolan? And he wanted to cut down the suspension bridge?"

After hearing what Sonoko said, Ota Masaru looked puzzled.

"Are you kidding us?"

"Brother Ohta, didn't you see it? It was in the woods over there. You should have been there too."

After hearing Sonoko's question, Ota Masaru looked at the two people next to him and asked with his eyes. When he saw that they both shook their heads, he answered Sonoko's question.

"I was looking for Xiaolan who suddenly ran away, and I didn't see the bandaged monster you mentioned."

"Then sister, did you see it? That weirdo was running towards the villa."

Hearing Sonoko asking her, Suzuki Ayako shook her head.

"I didn't see anyone suspicious."

"Then did you see it, Brother Takahashi? You have been doing maintenance work on the roof, so you should have seen it, right?"

Ryoichi Takahashi, who was called, shook his head and his eyes quickly swept across the faces of Akira Takagi and Xiaolan. After seeing the somewhat strange look in Akira Takagi's eyes, he lowered his head and responded to Sonoko's question in a somewhat apologetic voice.

"I'm sorry, I was so busy fixing the roof that I didn't notice. But is the weirdo you're talking about the one wearing a black cape, a black tulip-shaped hat, and a bandage on his face?"

Hearing what Takahashi Ryoichi said, Sonoko nodded quickly with some excitement.

"Yes, that's right, that weirdo is dressed like this."

"As for that guy, I saw him on the suspension bridge when I first arrived."

As soon as Takahashi Ryoichi finished speaking, Ota Masaru and Kadoya Hiroki nodded in agreement, saying that they had seen the strange man.

"Yes, I've encountered that too."

"Me too, I thought it was someone from another house nearby."

Takagi Akira, who was standing behind Xiaolan and the others, looked at Takahashi Ryoichi's bulging belly with some surprise.

"He had liposuction but still pretends to be like this. In this world of science, people who do such unusual things are suspicious. I need to pay more attention to this guy."
