Chapter 44 Conan: What happened here when I left?
Under everyone's nervous gaze, Takahashi Ryoichi slowly walked down from the second floor.
"Takahashi! Why did you kill Chikako!"
Hiroki Kakutani, who is boyfriend and girlfriend with Chikako Ikeda, has a bit of an emotional breakdown.
"Haha, why? Because that woman deserves to die!"
Takahashi Ryoichi looked at the head on the ground with cold eyes and said:
"Atsuko has such a good character. One day, Atsuko showed me a novel she wrote in the club's office... At that time, her eyes were shining with the hope that she could become a novelist in the future. She was so cheerful.
Don't you think it's strange that Atsuko committed suicide? It wasn't until I saw "The Blue Kingdom", Chikako's masterpiece that debuted in the literary world, that I realized that that work was clearly Atsuko's "The Blue Kingdom" in terms of plot and characters!"
"Takahashi, are you saying that Chikako plagiarized Atsuko's work?!"
"But, this is not necessarily the reason why Atsuko committed suicide..."
"Shut up!" Takahashi Ryoichi shouted loudly to stop everyone's speculation:
"On the day Chikako received the award, which was the day before Atsuko committed suicide, Atsuko called me and told me...she would never trust anyone again! Do you understand her desperate and collapsed voice at that time?
?!Chikako stole Atsuko’s hard work and said those words just now... So, I tricked that woman into the forest and gave away the vicious woman who killed Atsuko..."
"Hey." Ye Gengyi interrupted at the right time: "You said it so nicely, so why did you attack Xiaolan before because the bandage was wrapped around your face and you couldn't see clearly without glasses?"
"I..." Takahashi Ryoichi's breathing stagnated, as if the secrets hidden deep in his heart had been seen through.
"What? Is what I said wrong?" Ye Gengyi passed through the crowd and came to Takahashi Ryoichi. He said in a voice that only two people could hear: "It seems that you are not as great as you said. Since
If you want to play the executioner, why not be cruel and kill everyone here? You have a knife on your body, right?"
"You...you guy..." A feeling of fear suddenly arose in Takahashi Ryoichi's heart. He hurriedly opened his loose shirt, and instantly the props for disguise were scattered all over the floor, but in his hands was
He held a short knife.
Ye Gengyi nodded with satisfaction: "I'm sorry. Although it was not my intention, there is a voice in my head that keeps nagging. He must beat you up."
"Damn you guy! What are you talking about!" Takahashi Ryoichi became tense and his expression gradually became ferocious. He gritted his teeth, held the knife in both hands and rushed directly towards Ye Gengyi.
"Brother Gengyi, be careful!"
Before Ye Gengyi had time to take action, he suddenly felt his shoulders sink. As the wind blew past his ears, Takahashi Ryoichi's face had already hit the sole of Xiaolan's shoe as she jumped up.
With foam flying from his teeth, a man who was about to undergo real bandage treatment fell to the ground and fell completely unconscious.
Ye Gengyi: "..."
I really didn’t expect Xiaolan to be able to kill a man with a knife so easily.
(?_?) So what was the purpose of my provocation and cheating just now...
The coldness in his mind was swept away, and Ye Geng looked at the door. A certain little detective who happened to have returned saw this scene and was stunned.
What happened...? Why did he see Xiaolan beating Gao Qiao when he came in...
Ye Gengyi glanced at Conan sympathetically.
Haha... If you have a violent girlfriend, your future family status will be worrying.
The atmosphere is a little weird...
Conan hesitated for a moment, then bravely asked: "Um... I just found the... stump of what I suspected was Chikako's sister in the forest."
"It's not suspicious." Ye Gengyi moved a few steps away, letting out Chikako's head on the ground, and said: "...Chikako Ikeda's head is right here. The case has been solved. The person who killed and dismembered the body was Takahashi Ryoichi.
, he’s the bandage weirdo.”
Case...solved?!
In the ten minutes that I just left?
What happened?
Conan froze on the spot, in disbelief.
"It was Brother Geng who saw through Takahashi's tactics and made him admit his crime. But in the end, it was Xiaolan's karate that perfectly solved the incident."
After listening to Suzuki Sonoko's story, Conan was even more speechless.
So, when did Ye Gengyi know that Takahashi Ryoichi was a murderer? It was his fault that he foolishly ran out to chase the person, but in the end, they just used a trick to deceive him.
So frustrated...
"No... it's too exaggerated to figure out the modus operandi." Ye Gengyi denied: "This time it was only through the joint efforts of everyone that we caught the murderer."
Looking at the 100% progress on the event card, since the police were not involved, Ye Gengyi would not take the credit.
Otherwise, if the news reaches the boss’s ears, it will probably be misinterpreted as:
Icewine is very dedicated. He didn't forget to help the police during the holidays. Gin, go and send him on his way...etc.
"Sister Xiaolan, sister Yuanzi or brother Gengyi, who is telling the truth?"
A detective tries to find the truth.
Xiaolan was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I didn't know either. The head suddenly fell off at that time. I was completely frightened. When I reacted, I saw Mr. Takahashi who was about to attack Brother Sarada with a knife.
..”
Conan: "..."
w(# ̄~ ̄#)w is depressed and wants to pull his hair.
Looking at Ye Gengyi, he was sitting on a chair looking at his phone as if nothing was wrong.
Conan knew that even if he asked, he would probably be dismissed as a child.
As for the murderer's modus operandi.
In fact, when Conan saw the fishing line on the ground and the bandaged man's dummy head, he had already roughly deduced it, but he just couldn't figure out why Ye Gengyi could know the answer faster than him.
Obviously this guy just witnessed the scene of Takahashi using the dummy. Is there really any loophole that he didn't discover at that time?
Conan noticed Kakutani Hiroki's camera, but the case was over. He wanted it, but he wouldn't give it to him.
Being a kid is hard...
No! I can't give up. Anyway, the contact with the outside world is cut off.
Moreover, it is still raining. It is conservatively estimated that it will take until noon tomorrow at the earliest before someone from the Suzuki Consortium will come to the villa to pick him up.
Nearly twelve hours is enough...
Just as he was thinking about it, Ye Gengyi over there closed his phone and said: "I have contacted Dr. Ali and told him what happened here. Although the road is difficult to walk at night, there are two people from the Suzuki Consortium.
My daughter is here, I think the police helicopter will arrive in the early morning at the latest."
Early morning...
Conan calculated the time. Is there less than an hour left? Why did it suddenly become so urgent...
Wait...how did Ye Gengyi get in touch with the outside world???
Conan stares.
Fortunately, he wasn't the only one who discovered the blind spot this time.
"Brother Gengyi, can your mobile phone receive calls from the outside world?" Suzuki Sonoko was curious because just now, she took out her mobile phone and took a look, but she was still outside the signal circle.
"Well, I used this." Ye Gengyi pulled out an antenna-like object from the back of his mobile phone, which he modified with spare parts of the drone, "signal booster."
Conan: "..."
