The sound of pattering rain continued, and the bleak wind whistled around the villa. Gao Cheng curled up under the quilt, his brows were tightly knit together.

A ghostly man with bandages on his face appeared in the cold wind with piercing eyes, the rain turned blood red, Chikako's blood-stained head was suspended in the air, staring at Gao Cheng with horrified wide-eyed eyes...

"Boom!" Accompanied by a burst of lightning and thunder, Gao Cheng suddenly sat up from the bed, panting heavily, his forehead was covered with sweat.

To have such a horrible nightmare...

Wiping off the sweat from the corners of his eyes, Gao Cheng looked towards the balcony outside the window.

The forest in the heavy rain was very calm, but when looking at him, Chikako's head always appeared in his mind.

Jiao Gu on the next bed was soundly asleep...

Shaking his head, he got up and closed the curtains, and went back to bed to lie down, but he couldn't fall asleep. Even though he knew there was nothing to be afraid of, he just couldn't control his nightmares.

"It's terrible."

Gao Cheng sighed, summoned the wooden sword Toya Lake from the system and held it in his arms, and his mood calmed down instantly.

Speaking of it, this wooden knife seems to have the ability to calm people down. It was the same when he faced the powerful Italian group last time. If he was before crossing, he would not be so calm.

"That should give you a good night's sleep."

Gao Cheng covered the quilt again, relying on his confidence in his own strength, no matter what he didn't need to be afraid of, if the bandage monster dared to come out, just wait for him to take care of him.

Anyway, the system does not stipulate whether to solve the case through reasoning or force.

"Huh?" Gao Cheng closed his eyes and prepared to fall asleep, but opened them suddenly after a while, and the drowsiness disappeared in an instant.

"What's wrong? This dangerous aura..."

"what--!"

Amidst the sound of rain, Conan's huge shout suddenly sounded, followed by a scream piercing the night sky.

"What happened?"

Gao Cheng jumped out of the bed one by one, and rushed to the next room with his hands in his hands, but only saw a figure leaving from the window.

"Don't run!" Gao Cheng glanced at the frightened Mao Lilan and the injured Conan, and Gao Cheng chased them out of the window and balcony, but there was no one outside the rainy night, and there were no traces left outside the villa.

Gao Cheng stood by the balcony in doubt and looked down, and then looked at the other rooms connected to the balcony.

The balconies of the villa are all connected as one. Whether the weirdo just jumped off the building or ran into other rooms, there is no way to doubt those Suzuki Ayako students.

"What's wrong?"

At this time, the people in the whole villa were awakened by the cry, and they all gathered in Mao Lilan's room, and none of them could see anything unusual.

"What? Miss Xiaolan was attacked again?!"

"Is it the Bandage Monster again?"

"That's right," Gao Cheng squatted by the window, "and cut a hole in the glass."

Until now, he still doesn't understand that there shouldn't be such indiscriminate murderers in Conan. How could Mao Lilan be attacked, and twice in a row?

I wanted to ask Conan, but found that Conan had twisted his foot, and accepted Mao Lilan's bandaging in pain and happiness.

"This is the second floor, how did that guy climb up?" Ota Masaru and Kakuko walked over Gaocheng to the balcony outside.

"It probably came from a tree."

"Tree?" Hearing the conversation of several people, Gao Cheng carefully looked outside again.

Isn't the Bandage Man unrelated to the people in the villa?

"Hey, what is this? A wooden knife?" Suzuki Sonoko noticed the wooden knife that Gao Cheng was carrying, and put his face closer to Gao Cheng suspiciously, "What are you doing? Do you want to use this kind of kid thing to deal with that one?" Scary bandage man, huh?"

Gao Cheng smelled the faint fragrance, and said, "Bad, almost.

"

"Hmph, really," Yuanzi looked worriedly at the dark villa, turned to Maori Ran and said, "Xiao Lan, why didn't you use karate to fight back when you were attacked, it doesn't look like you at all!"

Mao Lilan blushed, and said helplessly: "I just can't do anything about monsters and ghosts..."

"All in all," Jiao Gu said in a deep voice, "that guy might come and attack again. It's too dangerous for us to disperse. Let's all gather in the restaurant and wait until dawn together."

"It can only be this way."

...

In the restaurant on the first floor, a group of people were all sitting at the dining table. Only Gao Cheng took the opportunity to go to the toilet to secretly search the room of Ota Katsuji and others, and then left through the back door under an umbrella to check around the villa.

His reasoning ability is far inferior to that of Conan, and the crucial one-minute detective cannot be used casually, so staying with Conan has little gain, and he can only find more clues by himself.

However, I searched everywhere, but still found nothing. There was nothing hidden in the bandages in those people's rooms, and there was nothing outside the villa either.

This is strange, if the bandage monster is from the villa, he will definitely hide the bandage cloak somewhere.

Is it really someone outside the villa?

Walking to the bottom of the balcony on the second floor of the villa, Gao Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he tried to climb up the balcony by himself with the help of the tree next to him. Although it was a bit difficult, he still managed to jump onto the balcony.

"Huh?" Gao Cheng was suddenly taken aback when he picked up the umbrella that was thrown up first.

His muddy footprints were clearly left on the floor, but he remembered that there were none before. If the weirdo came up like him, there is no reason not to leave footprints? Could it be that it is really a monster?

Putting his hands in his pockets, Gao Cheng continued to look along the balcony, and found nothing except some new-looking scratches on the railing on the second floor of the restaurant.

These are undoubtedly clues...

Gao Cheng had a faint smile on his lips, happy that he had improved his observation skills a lot, but he didn't know what these clues were useful for.

Observation skills can still be improved through hard work, but reasoning... He frankly admits that he and the original owner are both reasoning idiots, so it's better to wait for as many clues as possible to start the detective mode for a minute.

Gao Cheng thought about it and went back to the restaurant downstairs.

At this time, Conan seemed to have found a key clue, and when he saw Gao Chenggong, he approached him and said, "Brother Gao Cheng, have you found anything?"

Gao Cheng was still thinking hard, subconsciously shook his head: "I feel that the man in the bandage really looks like a ghost."

The corner of Conan's mouth twitched, feeling more and more unable to understand Gao Cheng.

Obviously every reasoning is so powerful, but in the middle it is comparable to that muddled detective Mouri Kogoro.

"This guy didn't do it on purpose, did he?"

Conan muttered silently, and found that Gao Cheng had already started to seriously check the camera that Jiao Gu used to record the shooting.

The scene of the bandage man taking Chikako away from the window was indeed captured on the camera. He had watched it specially just now, and he also discovered an important doubtful point.

Seeing Gao Cheng watched the shooting screen, Conan reminded like a child: "Brother Gao Cheng, sister Ayako said that she found sister Chikako's necklace in the entrance before, so strange, if that strange person kidnapped sister Chikako, shouldn't the necklace be Fell in the forest?"

"Tomokako's necklace..."

Gao Cheng took a deep look at Conan who was pretending to be an ordinary child. This guy was giving him a reminder again. Although he was helping, he was upset for some reason.

Kneeling down, under Conan's puzzled gaze, Gao Cheng ruffled Conan's hair with concern and said, "Haha, Conan is very powerful, is there anything strange?"

The corners of Conan's mouth froze, and he said with a dry smile, "No, sister Ayako told me that in the evening, sister Chikako seemed to have read the note in the door before going out from the back door..."

"A note?"

Gao Cheng was stunned for a moment, ignoring Conan, stood up thinking about it and looked at the people in the restaurant.

According to the current situation, the murderer is likely to be someone in this villa, but how did he do it? Everyone was in the villa when the Bandage Man passed by the window...

"Boom—!" A thunderbolt suddenly fell and interrupted Gao Cheng's thoughts. Before he could recover from the loud noise, the house was suddenly plunged into darkness.
