Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

Conan clenched his fists until they turned purple, his face turned ashen, and two cold rays of murderous intent shot out of his eyes.

[Okay, I finally stopped pretending. I knew you had bad intentions towards Xiaolan! ]

[I will never let you succeed! ]

He quietly raised his right hand and placed Lin Xuan at the crosshairs.

Sonoko looked in the direction of her best friend and senior with complicated eyes.

【How come progress is so fast after traveling in Osaka for a few days? 】

[Woo woo, my senior]

In fact, Xiaolan is still a relatively traditional girl at heart. Lin Xuan’s invitation makes her both excited and a little scared.

[Why did you suddenly...?]

[We haven't dated yet, this is too fast]

[Besides, she is still a high school student. Would it be inappropriate to agree to the senior directly?]

The girl trembled slightly, her whole face flushed with shyness, like a ripe cherry, delicate and charming.

Lin Xuan really wanted to tease the innocent high school girl again to see what kind of shy and cute expression Xiaolan would show.

But mind reading helped Lin Xuan confirm the location and thoughts of the two followers and eavesdroppers.

[Let’s stop here, otherwise the elementary school students might prick people with needles]

[I don’t have Kogoro’s drug resistance. It would be a big loss if I got hurt by the stab.]

So Lin Xuan pretended to be concerned and said:

"The body parts in the forest prove that the murderer is extremely cruel. Maybe he will kill indiscriminately. I will protect you tonight."

"The rescue helicopter will arrive tomorrow. You will be safe if you leave by helicopter."

[Although I know the murderer wants to kill Xiaolan, I can't expose my mind-reading ability. I can only say this in front of the elementary school student who is the god of death.]

Xiaolan was a little surprised:

"Senior, are you suggesting that we sleep together tonight just to protect me?"

Lin Xuan blinked and answered sincerely:

"What else? Of course I'm worried that you'll be in danger."

Xiaolan's face turned even redder.

[Senior actually cares about me so much! ]

[But I misinterpreted his good intentions. What a shame! Am I doing this to my senior? ]

Yuanzi, hiding in the back, felt like crying but had no tears.

[Senior, I need protection too, why don’t you protect me? ]

Conan sneered.

[Humph, why are you pretending to be a gentleman? You are just trying to use this excuse to take advantage of Xiaolan! ]

[I must solve the case as soon as possible, otherwise this pervert will use the excuse of protection to take advantage of Xiaolan! ]

He now has one more reason to defeat Lin Xuan.

"Well, then I'll leave it to you tonight, Senior!!!"

Xiaolan bowed to Lin Xuan to express her gratitude.

[In fact, the murderer may not be able to defeat me]

[But of course I can’t miss the opportunity to spend time alone with my senior! ]

On the other hand, Kakutani still firmly believed that the murderer was a ninth person hiding in the forest besides them.

He led the remaining two male members of the photography club to search the forest near the villa, but found nothing.

Suddenly there was a loud thunder, followed by dense raindrops pouring down.

Before the rainstorm began, Suzuki Ayako used her mobile phone to take photos of the body parts from various angles, and picked up the body parts of her friend one by one and brought them back to the villa.

Although he was still skeptical about Lin Xuan, at Ayako's request, Kakutani lent the dry clothes he brought to the high school detective.

After this incident, even though Ayako was an excellent cook, the guests had no appetite.

Everyone quickly finished their dinner and returned to their rooms.

Of course, Lin Xuan followed Xiaolan into the room assigned to her.

There was another person of the opposite sex in the small space, and she was the one she admired, which made Xiaolan nervous again:

[The beds are fine and there is no garbage on the floor]

[No, I put my luggage there before, so even if the room is messy, it won’t cause misunderstanding by the senior.]

Lin Xuan wanted to find out as soon as possible why the murderer wanted to kill Xiaolan.

[This is the first time Xiaolan has met the people from the photography club. She is not implicated in Miss Atsuko's suicide two years ago.]

[Why does the murderer disguised as a bandage monster want to eliminate an unrelated person? 】

【Did she witness the incident? 】

"Xiaolan, tell me in detail everything that happened after you came to the villa. Maybe I can find a clue."

At this moment, in the next room.

Yuanzi wished he could embed his ears into the wall so that he could hear more clearly.

[Where did the little ghost go again? Didn't we agree to eavesdrop on Xiaolan's room together tonight? ]

Normally, Sonoko never liked Conan, who loved to show off, but tonight, for the first time ever, the two of them became comrades in the same trench.

Of course the Death God Elementary School Student went to look for clues, but this time the murderer was extremely cunning, and Conan was doomed to be in vain.

After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Xiaolan suddenly hesitated.

She certainly didn't want to tell her lover that she had gone to the forest alone with Ota, and that she had entered the wrong room and bumped into the photography club members changing clothes.

But Xiaolan has a strong sense of responsibility and justice in her bones.

[Ms. Ikeda was brutally murdered by the murderer]

[How could I hide something just because of what my senior thinks of me? ]

So Xiaolan told Lin Xuan everything that happened today, and Lin Xuan immediately guessed the murderer's motive.

[I see. That’s why you have to kill Xiaolan.]

The murderer's inner monologue before lacked the reason why he wanted to kill Xiaolan.

And now Lin Xuan has figured out everything. The murderer's identity, motive, method of committing the crime and how he will act tonight are all in his control!

In this case, you can relax a little.

Lin Xuan smiled and joked:

"Ota Masaru is pretty handsome, so why did you beat him up after you rejected him?"

Xiaolan immediately defended herself and said:

"Senior, Ota is not a good person. His tone shows that he is a scum who plays with girls."

Lin Xuan took a step closer, his body almost touching Xiaolan, close enough that he could smell the girl's scent.

"Could it be that you already have someone you like? Who is it?"

"Student, senior."

Xiaolan opened her cherry lips and said with a dazed look:

"Please stop making fun of me."

Late that night, Lin Xuan slept on the floor and waited quietly for the murderer to come and take his life.

In fact, as long as he wanted, he could easily force Xiaolan to share a bed with him.

But Yuanzi in the next room was jealous, and Lin Xuan didn't want to face the Shura scene of fire in the harem.

Actually, Xiaolan didn’t sleep.

The girl was nervous but also a little excited as she was alone in a room with the senior schoolmate she admired.

As time passed, the anticipation in my heart became stronger and stronger.

She touched her face and felt extremely hot. Xiaolan turned over to see if Lin Xuan was asleep.

But the next second, Xiaolan was enveloped by uncontrollable fear.

Although she is a karate champion, Xiaolan is also extremely afraid of ghosts like ordinary girls, especially ghosts that have just killed someone.

The skinny bandaged weirdo was standing on the balcony at this moment, holding an axe covered with blood in his left hand.

The weirdo used a tool to draw a circle on the glass, and a small round piece of glass fell off near the buckle.
