Realizing this, Wu Wanying suddenly felt a chill on her back.
Doesn't this mean that the bandaged man has been hiding in the villa all along? What's more, is the bandaged man actually one of them?
Subconsciously, Karasuma Ying turned her head to look at Conan, and at this time, Conan also looked at Karasuma Ying, and both of them saw the same thing in each other's eyes.
"Conan, have you noticed the size of that bandaged man before?"
"Well, not very tall, not fat or thin, and of average build."
sorry.
Wu Wanying frowned.
The several men in the villa did not match the body shape of the bandaged man.
Shizuka Shizuka and Masaru Ohta are too thin, Hiroki Kadoya is too tall, Ryoichi Takahashi is too fat... and women are even more impossible.
"Hey, Sister Xiaoying, can you take me to the balcony to have a look?" At this moment, Conan suddenly spoke.
"it is good."
Karasuma Ying carried Conan, who had an injured leg, to the balcony. Inside the room, Shizue Shizue watched this scene and turned to everyone and said:
"It seems that we won't be able to sleep tonight. Everyone, why don't we all sit together in the living room for the night? That way, I'm sure that Mr. Bandage Weirdo will be worried and won't dare to attack us again."
"Well, this is the only way now."
As Qing Shuijing finished speaking, the rest of the people left the room one after another.
At this time, on the balcony, Wu Wanying stopped at a certain place on the guardrail. She suddenly noticed that there were two marks on the guardrail here, which looked like they were cut by thin wire.
"Sister Xiaoying, have you thought of anything?" Conan asked in a cute tone on Karasuma Ying's back.
"Conan, I remember when we first arrived at the villa, when Xiaolan went upstairs to find her room, she opened the wrong door several times, didn't she?"
"Well, that's what happened."
"I see. No wonder... the murderer attacked Xiaolan so many times."
At this moment, Wu Wanying understood everything.
Who is the murderer? How did he kill Chikako Ikeda? Why did he attack Xiaolan twice?
However, although she had deduced the whole process, she still lacked one piece of evidence, one piece of evidence that could prove that Chikako Ikeda's body had been moved.
"By the way, Ayako, whose necklace is this? I found it at the back entrance."
In the room behind him, Qingshui Jing suddenly asked, and a black necklace appeared in his hand.
Neckband?!
On the balcony, Karasuma Ying and Conan turned around and went back to the room after hearing this.
"Huh? This necklace..." Suzuki Ayako looked at the necklace carefully and said, "I remember it should belong to Chikako, but didn't Chikako already..."
"That's strange, this shouldn't be the case..."
Upon hearing this, Qing Shuijing immediately revealed a puzzled expression. He took out a camera from behind him like a magic trick, pointed at the picture on the camera, and said:
"Ayako, look, before Ms. Ikeda was kidnapped by the bandage man, she was still wearing a necklace around her neck.
Her necklace should still be lying in the woods with her body..."
As she spoke, Shizuka Shizuka specifically showed the images on the camera to Karasuma Ying and Conan.
Hiroki Kakutani's camera just happened to capture the moment when the bandaged man ran past the window with Chikako Ikeda tied up.
In the picture, Chikako Ikeda's necklace is still worn neatly around her neck.
However, what is puzzling is that the necklace on Shizuka Shizuka's hand is exactly the same as that on Chikako Ikeda.
"I see. Now we have everything..."
Looking at the necklace, Karasuma Ying and Conan on her back smiled at the same time.
"Mr. Shimizu, please call everyone else over and tell them... we have found the bandaged man."
The bandage man is actually Ryoichi Takahashi who pretends to be fat.
That's right, pretend.
Ryoichi Takahashi is not actually fat. His big belly is actually disguised with props. When Xiaolan first came to the villa to find her room, she opened the door without knocking and accidentally saw Ryoichi Takahashi changing clothes.
Although Xiaolan did not realize the difference in Takahashi Ryoichi's body shape in her panic, she did not remember this detail afterwards.
But what if?
What if she suddenly remembered?
So Takahashi Ryoichi decided to kill Mouri Ran. He attacked her twice in a row, first in the woods and then when she was sleeping, just to get rid of this "potential insider".
When they were in the woods, Takahashi Ryoichi took action directly, but was scared away by Suzuki Sonoko and Conan who arrived in time.
Just now in the room, Takahashi Ryoichi used the common balcony to go around from the room next to Xiaolan, which originally belonged to Ikeda Chikako, to commit the crime, but he was also stopped by Conan and Karasuma Ying who arrived in time.
As for the method of killing Chikako Ikeda, it was also very simple.
The note that Chikako Ikeda found under her door before was probably left there intentionally by Ryoichi Takahashi. It probably contained some bad secrets about Chikako Ikeda, asking her to go to the woods at night.
Therefore, Chikako Ikeda deliberately avoided everyone and went to the woods alone, and was killed and dismembered in the woods by Takahashi Ryoichi who had been waiting for a long time.
After killing and dismembering Chikako Ikeda, Takahashi Ryoichi dumped her body parts randomly in the woods, but hid her head in his cotton-filled abdomen and quietly took it back to the villa.
Afterwards, he used thin steel wire to connect an inflatable dummy wearing a bandage monster costume and the head of Ikeda Chikako on the second-floor balcony, and performed a scene of "the bandage monster killing Chikako and fleeing to the woods" in front of everyone in the living room to create proof of his presence.
The necklace of Chikako that Shizuka Shizuka picked up at the back door was actually dropped there accidentally by Takahashi Ryoichi when he killed Chikako in the woods and secretly brought his head back to the villa.
All the mysteries about the bandaged monster were solved. Under the reasoning of Karasuma Ying and Conan, Takahashi Ryoichi, whose will collapsed, admitted his crimes and also stated his motives.
It turns out that all this is related to Atsuko, a member of their college who committed suicide.
According to Ryoichi Takahashi, Atsuko was his girlfriend. When she was in college, Atsuko wrote a very good novel, but that novel was plagiarized and published by another member of the same club. Atsuko, who could not bear the blow, hanged herself in the club.
As a result, Takahashi Ryoichi hated Ikeda Chikako, and in order to avenge Atsuko, he took the opportunity of Suzuki Ayako's class reunion to kill her.
This is probably what he wrote on the note he left under Chikako Ikeda's tutelage...
Just like that, all the doubts about Takahashi Ryoichi were resolved.
But for Conan, there is still one person's mystery that has not been solved.
On the back of Karasuma Ying, Conan looked at Shizuka Shizuka who had a calm expression on the side, and a special light was reflected on his lenses.
Qingshui Jing, who are you?
Oh, the contract has been signed. By the way, a group has been created. Here is the group number. Come in and play.
Chapter 17 Mysterious and dangerous, Shirakawa Kiyoshi's women's clothing
Conan had a feeling that perhaps long before him and Karasuma Ei, Shimizu Shizuka, Suzuki Ayako's fiancé, had already identified the murderer.
Now thinking back carefully, from the moment everyone became aware of the existence of the bandaged man, Shizuka Shizuka showed several suspicious traits.
First of all, when Sonoko ran back to the villa to inform the bandaged monster, when he learned that the bandaged monster escaped towards the villa, he immediately confirmed the only safe passage to leave here - the suspension bridge - from the window.
Under normal circumstances, when most people are in that kind of environment, their first reaction should be fear and suspicion. It is almost impossible for anyone to confirm the safety of the suspension bridge at that time.
This is so illogical and unreasonable, but Qingshui Jing did it anyway.
And here, Qingshui Shizuka inadvertently revealed his super vision that far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Immediately after confirming that the suspension bridge had been cut off manually, Shizuka Shizuka immediately asked Suzuki Ayako to call the police and try to let the police handle the matter.
However, the telephone line had already been cut by Takahashi Ryoichi.
Conan guessed that it was at this time that Shizuka Shizuka was completely certain that the mysterious bandaged man was targeting the people in the villa.
However, he still didn't know who it was. Was it one of them? Or all of them?
So, Shizuka Shizuka made a bold and cruel attempt.
He first calmed down Takahashi Ryoichi who wanted to deliberately spread panic. When he was sure that the bandaged man's target was everyone in the villa, he deliberately did not take any preventive measures and even deliberately downplayed the degree of the crisis in his words, allowing everyone to continue to do as they pleased.
Because at this time, Shizuka Shizuka was not sure whether the true identity of the bandaged monster was someone outside or someone in the villa pretending to be him.
So his actions were actually creating an opportunity for the murderer. He was waiting for the murderer to commit another crime in order to identify the murderer's true identity.
He was very confident in himself. He believed that no matter the murderer was someone outside or in the villa, as long as the murderer committed the crime again, he could find out the murderer's true identity from the clues.
And he did.
Not long after that, Takahashi Ryoichi found an opportunity and killed Ikeda Chikako in the woods.
During this period, perhaps out of protection for Suzuki Ayako, Shimizu Shizuka never let Suzuki Ayako out of his sight.
What followed was what everyone saw in the living room, where Ryoichi Takahashi used a mannequin on the second floor to create the scene of the "bandage monster kidnapping and killing Ikeda Chikako."
Conan remembers this process very clearly.
First, Takahashi Ryoichi shouted on the second floor. At this time, among the people in the living room on the first floor, the first person to react was Shizuka Shizuka. He was also the first person to see the scene outside the window.
However, he, who was also looking for the murderer, still sat on the chair with a faint smile on his face, and did not chase after them.
Conan didn't understand it then, but now he does.
Because it was at this moment that Shizuka Shizuka determined that the bandaged monster was actually someone in the villa in disguise, and directly locked the true identity of the bandaged monster on Ryoichi Takahashi!
The smile on his face at that time was actually the smile he showed after identifying the murderer!
The reason is simple, because of Shizuka Shizuka's super eyesight!
When the dummy of the bandage monster was controlled by a thin steel wire and floated past the window, when everyone thought it was the real bandage monster and chased after it, Shizuka Shizuka saw clearly the thin steel wire hanging behind the dummy at a glance!
The entire details and operation of the dummy mechanism were immediately deduced, and Takahashi Ryoichi was identified as the murderer.
Because among all the people present, only Takahashi Ryoichi, who had worked as a prop maker in college, had the technical level to complete this series of mechanisms. At the same time, he was the only one on the second floor at the time, and was the only person on the scene with the necessary space and time conditions to control the dummy.
Conan could even guess that when they all chased to the woods, Shizuka Shizuka in the villa must have gone to the balcony on the second floor to look for traces left by Takahashi Ryoichi manipulating the bandaged dummy.
At this point, except for picking up Ikeda Chikako's necklace at the back door entrance, Shizuka Shizuka stopped all active actions.
Shizuka Shizuka did not expose Takahashi Ryoichi, nor did she stop him and Sister Xiaoying's investigation. He just stood there silently, beside Suzuki Ayako, watching everything that happened in the villa.
And when Sister Xiaoying and his reasoning reached the end, he helped them fill in the last piece.
why?
