Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

The weirdo reached in, gently pressed the buckle and entered the room from the balcony.

Although Xiaolan was conscious, she didn't dare to use karate against the terrifying bandaged monster, and she didn't even dare to make a sound.

The murderer, with bandages wrapped around his face, approached Xiaolan step by step.

[You are sleeping so soundly, it's just tempting me to kill you quickly]

[You won't know why you were killed until you die, what a pity]

【But for my safety, you must die! 】

Just then, two "cough cough" sounds were heard in the darkness.

In order to prevent the murderer from not being able to find him, Lin Xuan thoughtfully turned on the flashlight.

[It's that detective! ]

【Why is he here? ! 】

The bandaged monster's body reacted before he could even think, and he swung the axe directly at Lin Xuan's head!

[Even though I don't understand the situation, it's definitely right to kill the detective who's in the way! ]

"Senior!"

Xiaolan finally recovered from her fear. If anything happened to Lin Xuan, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

The girl didn't care that she was only wearing pajamas, she immediately jumped out of bed to protect Lin Xuan.

However, it was still too slow. The bandaged monster's axe had already chopped down, but Lin Xuan stood there motionless!

"Senior, please get out of the way!"

When dealing with a murderer of this level, why would Lin Xuan need to dodge?

Just as the axe was about to touch his hair, the bandaged man was surprised to find that the axe could not move down any further.

Because Lin Xuan grabbed the murderer's hand that was swinging the axe.

He was obviously just a handsome high school student, but he managed to hold the murderer's wrist tightly to the point of breaking it, so the bandaged man naturally couldn't exert any strength.

The next second, Lin Xuan kicked the murderer in the stomach.

The reason why he didn't kick the chest or head or other vital parts was because he was afraid that the power from the strengthened bones would accidentally kill the murderer with one kick.

The bandaged man took off, his body smashed through the glass door in front of the balcony, and rolled onto the balcony.

[This, wow, is this guy a monster? ]

At the same time, "Sister Lan!"

"Xiaolan! Senior! Are you okay?"

There was a hurried knock on the door.

Conan Sonoko was afraid that Xiaolan and Lin Xuan might have an accident tonight, and they hadn't slept yet. When they heard the unusual noise, they hurried over and knocked on the door to check what was going on.

After Xiaolan opened the door, she fell into her best friend's arms and said with lingering fear:

"Bandage Monster, that monster is really here! If it weren't for the protection of my senior, I would have probably already..."

[What? Lin Xuan got it right again!]

Conan also felt a little scared. The bloody axe dropped on the floor of the room and the broken glass in front of the balcony all proved that the bandaged monster really wanted to kill Xiaolan.

Conan rushed to the balcony, but the bandaged man disappeared again.

The original members of the photography club who lived in this villa were also woken up one after another, came to the corridor and entered this room.

Upon learning that the bandage man had reappeared, Ayako showed a look of regret on her face. She apologized to everyone and said:

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have invited everyone to this villa."

Kakutani suggested:

"From now on, no matter what we do, we have to stay together. Why not just stay in the living room?"

"When the police arrive, they will search the forest with police dogs and will definitely find the bandaged man!"

Apparently Kakutani still thinks the murderer is someone other than them hiding in the forest.

Lin Xuan shook his head and explained to everyone:

"There's no need for that. I already know who the murderer is. He's hiding among us."

Upon hearing this, everyone's face changed drastically.

Kakutani said dissatisfiedly:

"Hey, kid, we must not compromise our unity at a time like this!"

"When the bandaged monster kidnapped Ikeda, we were all in the villa. Do you want to say that you are the monster who arrived later?"

Lin Xuan shook his head:

"The murderer did not leave with Ikeda. He just created a false impression to deceive all of you."

Everyone expected Lin Xuan to continue speaking, even the murderer.

[Humph, no one else who saw that scene could find the flaw. Can you, who came late, still use your imagination to crack my brilliant trick? ]

[And even if you knew, it doesn't matter. I have destroyed the evidence! ]

Lin Xuan deliberately kept it a secret:

"But I guess not everyone is deceived, right, Conan?"

Conan never expected that Lin Xuan would point to him, but in order not to embarrass himself in front of Sister Lan, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:

"Yes, that's right."

[How can I agree to this? Isn't this the same as that incompetent uncle? ]

In fact, if Conan could launch an investigation in time, with his ability he would be able to find evidence and solve the case independently.

But always thinking about defeating Lin Xuan actually reduced his reasoning ability.

After Lin Xuan and Xiaolan were alone in the same room, Conan became a headless fly and could not play any role in this case.

Lin Xuan nodded with relief:

"In that case, tell us what method the murderer used."

"This……"

Everyone's attention was focused on Conan, and he could only say awkwardly:

"I, actually my reasoning is not perfect, so I'd better listen to what you have to say, Brother Lin Xuan."

This made Yuanzi look down on this attention-seeking elementary school student even more:

[It's just a kid playing detective games]

[If we really want to solve the case, we still have to rely on the senior! 】

Lin Xuan looked at the murderer and couldn't help but sigh:

[Brother, you took a heavy blow to the abdomen and your back was scratched by glass, but you can still pretend to be safe and sound. I admire you.]

[But no matter how good your acting is, I can't let you get away with it]

Lin Xuan asked everyone a question:

"Why do people think that it was the bandage weirdo who forcibly took Ikeda away from the villa?"

Xiaolan said puzzledly:

"Because we saw it."

Yuanzi also nodded:

"Yes, Senior, it was only for a moment but I was not mistaken. Ikeda was injured and his face was covered in blood."

Lin Xuan asked again:

"Except for the head, did anyone see Ikeda's body at that moment?"

Conan suddenly realized.

[I see! The murderer had already killed Ikeda and dismembered him before that!]

[The bandaged man jumped from the second floor because he was holding Ikeda in his arms. In addition, it was dark at the time and the scene only lasted for a moment, so I subconsciously thought that Ikeda was still alive.]

[Perhaps the bandaged man only held the victim's head and led the charge! ]

Conan understood, but the others were still confused.

Lin Xuan then explained to them in detail that the murderer was the one who killed and dismembered the person in front, and the bandaged monster was the one who led the charge behind.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked at the murderer's madness, and Ayako held her sister's hand tightly.

But Kakutani raised a new question:

"Since Chikako had been murdered long ago, why did the murderer bring her head back from the forest and put on a show in front of Ayako and the others?"

"Of course, it was to create an alibi to exonerate himself."

Lin Xuan fixed his eyes on the murderer and continued:

"You want to make everyone think that the murderer first kidnapped Ikeda and then killed and dismembered him. I have to say that you are very bold and this method is also very clever."

"But you actually wanted to kill Xiaolan to silence her in order to protect yourself. I will never let you get away with it."
