Chapter 25 Mr. Takahashi, what are you doing?

Chapter 25 Mr. Takahashi, what are you doing?

There was quite a bit of noise late at night, especially the sound of Mouri Ran screaming and Yuya kicking the door.

Everyone was woken up and gathered in Mao Lilan's room.

Takahashi Ryoichi also changed his clothes and mixed in with the crowd. He clenched his fists in hatred. If he hadn't sneezed suddenly just now, he wouldn't have been discovered; and damn it, who opened that door?

It was him? Hearing everyone's conversation, Takahashi Ryoichi glanced at Yuya.

He actually kicked the door so far. Fortunately, he didn't hit his forehead, otherwise if the swelling was seen by others, he would definitely be suspected.

···

When everyone learned that a bandaged monster had sneaked into the villa and intended to attack Mao Lilan, they immediately lost their sleepiness.

Several men went to lock the doors and windows, and the remaining girls gathered in the living room downstairs.

When everyone was together, Youya saw that no one else had noticed, so he kindly reminded: "Is there someone missing?"

Everyone then realized that Chikako Ikeda was missing!

Everyone rushed to Chikako Ikeda's room, but found that no one was inside and the room was very tidy. Her pajamas were on the bed and her luggage was also there - as if she had changed her clothes and left by herself.

The long-haired handsome guy Ota Masaru looked at this scene and couldn't help but doubt: "Could that bandaged weirdo be Chikako? I heard that many people who write novels have quirks. Maybe she suddenly went crazy in the middle of the night and ran out to attack people..."

Yuya interrupted his imagination directly: "No, I think that person is bloated and does not match Miss Ikeda at all."

Ota Katsu looked at Yuya with contempt and said, "Are you so sure? Could it be her accomplice?" He was still upset about Yuya preventing him from asking Mouri Ran out.

Suzuki Sonoko was unhappy: "What are you talking about? You are a famous high school detective, can't you see that these are not normal things?"

"Detective?" Everyone's expression changed slightly, and they couldn't help but look at Youye.

Ota Katsu muttered a few words and stopped talking.

Yuya didn't care about Ota Masaru's provocation at all: "We can't just ignore someone if they're missing, go look for them."

This proposal was quickly agreed by everyone.

···

A few minutes later, a group of people took flashlights and held umbrellas and went into the woods to search for Chikako Ikeda.

I don't know when the rain started again.

Conan had to stay in the villa because he sprained his foot and was unable to move, so Suzuki Ayako stayed to take care of him.

Yuya, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were in a group.

They were more familiar with each other, and on the other hand, this would also avoid running into Takahashi Ryoichi during the search, who might run over and chop them with an axe.

Ryoichi Takahashi did plan to do so, but when he saw that there were two people beside Ran Mouri, especially the high school detective who kicked the door open, he thought about it and gave up.

Chikako Ikeda is still in the woods. She is going to carry out her plan, so Ran Mouri can stay a little behind.

Visibility in the woods at night was very low and it was raining heavily, so even with a flashlight the range was very limited.

Takahashi Ryoichi was panting and pretending to be too fat to walk, so he fell behind and slowly left the team. The others were anxious about Ikeda Chikako and ignored him for a while.

After successfully being alone, Takahashi Ryoichi turned around and ran straight to the place where he and Ikeda Chikako had agreed to meet, took out the axe he had prepared in advance, and chopped Ikeda Chikako to the ground from behind.

Then, using all his strength, he split Ikeda Chikako into Ikeda-Chikako, bit by bit.

Dismembering the body was not just to vent his anger, it was also an important part of his creating an alibi.

He threw Chitian Chikako all over the place, then lifted up his shirt, threw away the stuffing that had been used to pretend to be a beer belly, and carefully wrapped Chitian Chikako's head and stuffed it back in.

In this way, from the outside he still looks like the big-bellied Takahashi Ryoichi from before.

No one would have thought that underneath his belly was actually the head of Ikeda Chikako.

After searching for a while, not only did they fail to find Chikako Ikeda, they were also shocked to discover that the suspension bridge in front of the villa had been cut off at some point!

The panicked crowd wanted to call the police, but found that the villa's telephone line had also been cut.

Suddenly, contact with the outside world was lost and the villa was plunged into a tense atmosphere.

···

No one can sleep.

There was no choice but to take out playing cards to pass the time. After dawn, I could climb over the mountain behind and go to the town at the foot of the mountain to seek help.

Takahashi Ryoichi did not join the card game. He looked towards the second floor with a worried look on his face and said to Suzuki Ayako, "I'll go up and seal the windows on the second floor. It would be bad if the bandaged man climbs in from the second floor."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Suzuki Ayako was very glad that she had a classmate who was very good at hands-on work.

Yuya was sitting facing the stairs. He looked thoughtfully at Takahashi Ryoichi's back as he went up the stairs.

It seems that Chikako Ikeda has fallen into his hands.

Next, it’s time to create an alibi?

···

The balcony on the second floor is a long balcony made up of several rooms.

Ryoichi Takahashi pretended to block the windows, but he was actually setting up a mechanism.

——He first took out Ikeda Chikako’s head from his clothes and fixed it on an inflatable doll of a bandaged monster.

In this way, in the dark night it looked as if Chikako Ikeda was being held in someone's arms.

There is a long steel wire connected to the top of the inflatable doll's head.

According to his plan, he would pull the wire and let the bandaged man sway past the first-floor window in front of everyone. This way, he would be able to create the illusion that "Chikako Ikeda was kidnapped and fled in a certain direction."

After that, he took the bandaged man back, hid his head, went downstairs and chased after him with everyone else, took the opportunity to run to the place where he had dismembered the body, threw the head away, and then pretended to find Ikeda Chikako's body.

In this way, since he appeared at the same time as the bandaged man and had always been with his classmates, he had a perfect alibi.

As Takahashi Ryoichi sorted out his script and prepared the bandaged man, he felt like a genius.

It’s just that... I don’t know if that detective will see through me.

He had seen that face in Tokyo's daily newspapers. It was a newly famous high school detective with the same name, which had just been confirmed by Suzuki Sonoko herself.

At this moment, Suzuki Ayako's voice came from downstairs: "Everyone, I made some soup, drink some to cool down."

Just now, everyone went into the woods in the rain to look for someone, and the gentle and considerate Suzuki Ayako had already prepared hot soup for everyone to warm up.

"Takahashi, come down quickly and have a drink." Suzuki Ayako shouted upwards from the stairs.

"coming!"

There was no time for Takahashi Ryoichi to hesitate. He pretended to take a few steps inside and then shouted to the balcony: "Who's there?!"

The people on the first floor were surprised and looked towards the second floor.

A dark light flashed in Youya's eyes. He looked up at the window on the first floor, judged Takahashi Ryoichi's position based on the sound, walked to the window on the other side, and opened it quietly.

Suzuki Ayako was startled: "What's wrong, Takahashi? What did you see?"

On the second floor, Takahashi's frightened voice came: "There's someone next to the window!"

"What?!" Everyone was shocked and turned to look out the window, but unfortunately it was pitch black outside and they couldn't see anything.

Ryoichi Takahashi estimated the time, secretly walked to the railing, and pushed the bandaged monster down.

When everyone was puzzled, they suddenly saw the bandaged monster holding Ikeda Chikako hostage and flashing past the first-floor window, scaring everyone.

"what!"

"It's Chikako!"

One exclamation after another.

Just when everyone was panicking, a hand suddenly stretched out from the edge window on the first floor, and Youya suddenly appeared and grabbed the bandaged monster's cloak.

The bandaged monster that was supposed to float away suddenly stopped.

Ryoichi Takahashi was pulling the other end of the wire, and when he saw this scene, his head buzzed and he was stunned - what was going on, where did he come from?

This is different from my script!

When several men saw this scene, they all thought that Youya had caught the bandaged monster, and they rushed over shouting to help subdue him.

Ryoichi Takahashi was a little panicked and subconsciously pulled the wire to take the bandaged monster away.

Youya sensed the power coming from the bandaged monster and gently let go of his hand. Then, several men who rushed up saw the bandaged monster rushing upwards like a superman.

"Chikako!" Hiroki Kadoya shouted and jumped out of the window. When he looked up, he froze in place.

Others also rushed out, and when they looked up, they were all stunned.

Yuu calmly came to the second floor, stood beside Takahashi Ryoichi, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Takahashi, what are you playing?"

Ryoichi Takahashi was standing on the balcony, with the bandaged monster holding Chikako Ikeda hostage next to him.

Ota Katsu was awakened by Yuya's voice, and he quickly shouted: "You two are in danger, get out of there!"

Yuya was stunned for a moment. He looked down at Ota Katsu with a look of idiot: "Brother, you can't fail to see that this so-called bandaged freak is a puppet, right?"

However, he is a nice person... except for some of the scumbags.

Thinking of this, Yuya poked the bandaged man with his hand.

Everyone's eyes widened.

Ota Katsu was stunned. After Yuya reminded him, he realized that the bandaged man looked very strange.

It just flashed by and he subconsciously thought that it was the bandaged monster holding Chikako hostage, but now taking a closer look, he can easily see that there is a very obvious difference between the bandaged monster and a real person.

And it was obvious that the bandaged monster was controlled by Ryoichi Takahashi.

Ryoichi Takahashi now felt as if his brain had been blown off by a bomb and had no idea what to do.

He stared blankly at Youye who was leaning down beside him, and suddenly an axe appeared in his hand - the axe he had just used to pretend to seal the window, and he chopped it towards Youye fiercely.

"careful!"

"what!"

When everyone saw this scene, they all shouted.

Yuya was not at all flustered. He dodged the attack by turning sideways, reached out and grabbed Takahashi Ryoichi's arm, turned around and kicked back with his right foot, then threw Takahashi Ryoichi over his shoulder and threw him to the ground with a bang.

Takahashi Ryoichi rolled his eyes and fainted.

The people downstairs heard the loud noise and seemed to see the balcony shaking and the rustling of dust falling.

Then there were several more screams of "Ah!" and a flurry of activity.

Yuya looked up in surprise, and suddenly he found that the head of the bandaged monster was gone.

···

Takahashi Ryoichi was tied up and confessed all his crimes.

The next day, after an agonizing night, the two adult men crossed the mountains and found a villager to borrow a phone.

The police quickly dispatched a helicopter.

At noon, the police arrived and took Takahashi Ryoichi away.

Everyone also took advantage of the transportation provided by the police to leave this terrifying villa.

On the road, everyone looked tired.

Suzuki Ayako even started to have a fever and seemed to be very frightened.

Yuya looked at her guiltily - when Takahashi Ryoichi was thrown last night, the movement was too big, and Ikeda Chikako's head seemed to be not fixed properly, and fell directly down, hitting Suzuki Ayako right in front of her, and she fainted on the spot.

Compared to Suzuki Ayako, Suzuki Sonoko is in much better condition and has seen many such scenes.

She looked at her two friends guiltily and whispered, "I'm sorry, I wanted to invite you guys over to play, but I didn't expect something like this to happen..."

"It's okay, Sonoko, you don't have to worry about it." Ran Mouri hugged Conan, with a trace of fear still on her face. She had encountered many murderers and was not very scared. She was mainly scared by the head that suddenly fell off.

Conan looked like he was enjoying it. He was just a bystander the whole time last night and it was Yuya who solved all the problems.

However, since Ran Mouri kept holding him because she was afraid, Conan felt somewhat grateful to Suzuki Sonoko. Of course, he couldn't say this out loud.

You didn't care any more: "We are fine, you should take care of your sister. Last night..."

"Hey! Stop talking!" Suzuki Sonoko shuddered when she thought of the head last night.

Yuya smiled and closed his mouth.
