Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 16: The Bandaged Man in the Villa

The weather looked bad that day, the gray sky was cloudy and misty, and in the deep valley below where the towering trees stood, a cool breeze blew from time to time, causing the branches to sway.

In the strange and silent atmosphere, a figure appeared on the edge of the cliff in the valley, with a black cloak, a black hat in the shape of a tulip, and a horrible face covered with bandages, only revealing a pair of fierce eyes shining with cold light.

"Gah-!"

In the deep mountains and dense forests, Gao Cheng was looking for the way alone with his bag on his back. The sky was getting darker and darker, with a feeling that it was about to rain, and there were desolate and strange sounds in the forest from time to time that made people feel chills.

This time he suddenly received the "Village Bandage Monster Murder Incident". Because the location was in the deep mountains, he originally thought that he might be able to come with Conan, but when he arrived at the Maori Detective Agency this morning, he found that the kid had been with him. Mollyland leaves.

Mori Kogoro told him angrily that he was invited to play at Suzuki's villa.

"Where is it?"

Gao Cheng stood at the intersection, looked left and right, and had to admit that he was lost.

After finally receiving a case, he was already ready for a big harvest of reputation points. If he missed the opportunity because of this reason, he would not accept it.

"Damn it, where can I find such a big mountain?"

Gao Cheng looked at the sky, then changed direction and continued to find his way.

Not far from the direction Gao Cheng was looking for just now, there is a villa in a valley on the other side of the dense forest. In front of the villa is a cliff connected by a suspension bridge, and behind it is an uninhabited deep mountain forest.

At this time, many people gathered in the villa, and when Gao Cheng looked for the way with a dark face, the group of people were having dinner lively.

This time was originally a gathering of members of Suzuki Ayako's university film club, the daughter of Suzuki's parents. The reason why Conan and Mao Lilan came was of course because of the invitation of Suzuki Sonoko, Mao Lilan's classmate and best friend.

That's right, it's the second lady of the Suzuki Consortium who is a nympho and an eighth-wife in "Conan".

"Boom!"

In the evening, accompanied by a burst of thunder, the sky covered with dark clouds began to rain heavily.

"Sure enough, it's still raining," Mao Lilan said regretfully standing by the window, "I can't appreciate the beautiful maple leaves now."

"Hey, Xiaolan," Suzuki Sonoko patted Mao Lilan, secretly looked at the handsome Ota Katsuki in the villa, and said with admiration, "What do you think of him? He looks handsome with a bit of coldness, I like it best This type of man!"

Conan glanced at Masaru Ota, and really couldn't see what Sonoko said about Masaru Ota, "Sonoko is still the same."

Turning his head to look at the rumbling sky, Conan couldn't help but think of Gao Cheng again.

"That guy doesn't know what he's doing now, is he here?"

...

"I knew it earlier, so I brought an umbrella here, what a pity."

In the mountain forest, thunder rolled and spread after the lightning. Gao Cheng kept running in the forest against the heavy rain, and finally saw the villa behind the suspension bridge, and there were lights in the villa.

"I don't know if it's here."

Gao Cheng crossed the suspended suspension bridge in fear, and was about to find a place to shelter from the rain, when a scream suddenly came from the valley woods, which sounded like Mao Lilan's voice.

Before I had time to think about it, the door of the villa suddenly opened, and a woman in her 20s asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

"I'm lost here," Gao Cheng reacted, and said embarrassedly, "Well, can I stay here for a night?"

"Come in, come in," the woman has a pair of crescent-shaped squinted eyes, she looks like a very gentle and beautiful person, and she doesn't embarrass Gao Cheng, "I seem to have seen you in the newspaper, I remember..."

Gao Cheng felt pretty good: "Have you read my report? It's really great..."

"By the way, you are Sonoko's classmate,

High school student detective Kudo Shinichi, right? The woman gently handed Gao Cheng a towel, "Yuanzi and Xiaolan happened to be there too." "

"Uh," Gaocheng accepted the towel awkwardly, "I'm Detective Kido Gaocheng."

"Ah?! Sorry, I thought..."

"It's okay, I'm used to it, haha...Thank you for the towel."

Gao Cheng dried his hair and returned the towel to the woman with a smile.

"However, it's true that I saw you in the newspaper. It seems to be the Mihua Art Museum incident?" The woman was still a little embarrassed, and after explaining, she greeted Gao Chengdao, "There are still rooms on the second floor, I'll clean it up for you .”

"Trouble, thank you."

Following the woman upstairs, Gao Cheng's face flushed slightly, the woman in front of him wondered if she was still single, she was really a gentle person.

He can't resist the charm of gentle women.

After a while, people from the villa also came back from outside one after another.

The woman went downstairs after helping to clean up the room. Listening to the voice, Conan and Mao Lilan were indeed there.

Gao Cheng changed into his wet clothes, and faintly heard the discussion about the bandage monster downstairs, so he hurried out of the room out of curiosity.

The "Village Bandage Monster Murder Incident" released by the system did not mention the specific time. It seems that it has already started. I don't know who the victim will be. It must not be the woman just now.

"Sister," Sonoko Suzuki asked the woman with squinting eyes, "Did you see that weird man? I saw him running towards the villa!"

"I don't know," the narrow-eyed woman Suzuki Ayako shook her head, and asked a fat man with glasses next to her, "What about you, Takahashi?"

"I've been repairing the roof just now, but I didn't see anyone wearing bandages," the fat man responded, "However, when I came to the villa, I did see a strange person. Although I didn't see his appearance clearly, he Wearing a cloak and a tulip-shaped hat on his head, it looks weird..."

"It's him that's right!"

"I also saw this person when I first arrived at the villa."

"Me too, at the time I thought it was someone who lived nearby."

While everyone was discussing and describing, Suzuki Ayako shook her head and interrupted: "It can't be someone nearby. The people nearby here only have two or three villas on the other side of the suspension bridge, and there is a mountain on the valley side. There are people."

"Who is that person?"

The atmosphere in the living room of the villa was suppressed and quiet. At this time, someone noticed Gao Cheng who was eavesdropping by the stairs on the second floor, and was shocked: "Who is this person?! Why are you here..."

"Hi, everyone," Gao Cheng said with an embarrassed smile, "Well, because I heard you talking about bandage monsters, I just..."

"Who are you?!" Tomokako, a fierce short-haired woman in the crowd, scolded, "Did you sneak in?!"

"Tomokako, I forgot to mention," Suzuki Ayako quickly explained, "He is Kido-kun who came to stay at the villa when you were away just now."

"Kirodo?" Conan's eyelids twitched, and then he looked towards the second floor, showing an expression that really did.

"This guy really has strange things happening somewhere..." Conan thought for a while speechlessly, then turned around and suddenly saw someone in the crowd with an unnatural expression after seeing Gao Cheng.

Huh?

"Wait a minute!" Ayako looked at Gao Cheng with suspicious expressions on his face, "How could it be such a coincidence? Could this guy be that bandage weirdo?"

"Yeah, Ayako, how can you let outsiders into the villa casually? Hurry up and call the police!"

"No," Mao Lilan helped to explain, "Gao Chengjun is not a strange person!"

"No, don't get me wrong," Gao Cheng also walked downstairs in sweat, and hurriedly explained, "I just got lost in the neighborhood. My name is Kido Gaocheng, and I'm a detective!"

"Detective, detective?"
