Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 49 The Bandage Man: A colleague?
Leaving the highway, Qin Zhibo embarked on the trail leading to the mountains.

Although it is a narrow path, it is strange that there are many side roads leading to other places along the way.

However, these side roads are completely meaningless to Qin Zhibo, who is carrying a navigator, and he can't even talk about interference options, let alone getting lost.

After walking for almost two kilometers, the sky began to rain lightly.

Umbrellas are definitely not allowed, and it’s not an outing.

So Qin Zhibo took out a black raincoat from the backpack behind him and put it on.

In order to prevent the backpack from being wet by rain, cover the backpack with a raincoat.

After continuing to walk for about half an hour, Qin Zhibo turned over the upper reaches of a river, then turned downstream and entered a flat forest.

It was already evening by this time.

Qin Zhibo turned on the navigator, looked at the red coordinate points marked on the map, and found that the straight-line distance from his position was less than five kilometers away.

"Five kilometers, it should be a safe range."

Qin Zhibo muttered, and then prepared to unload his equipment and set up camp here tonight.

Qin Zhibo's thinking is very simple, since the requirement of the task is to survive at night, it means that the place is not dangerous during the day.

And according to people's common sense of life, it is relatively safe during the day.

So Qin Zhibo planned to spend the night here tonight, and went to find out when it dawned tomorrow.

Just as Qin Zhibo was about to unload the hiking backpack behind his back, a flash of lightning suddenly lit up in the sky.

Along with the blue thunder light passing through the canopy, the deafening thunder suddenly sounded.

Boom!

Qin Zhibo, who was not frightened in any way, looked up at the sky expressionlessly, feeling a little worried.

The distance between the light of thunder and the sound of thunder is very close, indicating that the place where the thunder strikes is near here.

If I lived in this woods, wouldn't it be easy to get caught?

Or go further, if you can find a cave or something, you will be lucky.

Stepping on the soft soil and breathing the unique fresh air in the deep mountains, Qin Zhibo is also in a good mood.

Qin Zhibo felt that his lungs were a bit blocked after breathing the industrial waste gas from Tokyo, a modern metropolis, all day long.

No wonder Ryohei Matsumoto would rather drive and commute every day, and live in a villa in the mountains than in a convenient city.

It's a pity that there are only mountains and no villas here.

Just when Qin Zhibo was feeling emotional, a scream in the woods came to Qin Zhibo's ears.

This scream...is a female voice.

And it sounds familiar?

Qin Zhibo took big strides and ran to follow the screams.

Passing through the not too dense forest, Qin Zhibo saw something in the open space behind a bush.

I saw a man covered in a black cloak standing in the middle of the open space, holding an ax in his hand, both his hands and the side of his face were wrapped with bandages.

And this bandaged man was staring at a "stumbled" girl in a small red suit who fell to the ground.

Qin Zhibo happened to know this girl, she was Mao Lilan, one of the two heroes of the Maoli family.

Seeing Mao Lilan in such a deep mountain and old forest, Qin Zhibo felt a sense of intimacy as if he met an old friend in a foreign land.

"Yo!"

Qin Zhibo greeted Mao Lilan regardless of the occasion, and at the same time alarmed the terrified Mao Lilan and the bandage man who was walking towards Mao Lilan with an axe.

The bandage man looked back, and saw Qin Zhibo who was almost dressed in the same style as himself.

This time, the bandage man was stunned.

The person "hiding" behind the bushes in front of him was wearing a huge black raincoat and was holding a crowbar in one hand.

Except for the difference in weapons, there is no cover on this person's face, and he can directly see the face inside.

Although he doesn't look too young, but some handsome faces make the bandage man completely unable to remember that there is such a person among the people who came here for the class reunion today.

Is it
Is it a colleague?
The bandage man immediately thought of a more likely situation, that is, he had met his peers.

Class reunion, meeting a murderous maniac lurking in the deep mountains, why does this title sound so pleasant?
The bandage man remembered that this was exactly the excuse he had thought of at the beginning.

But who would have thought that a real murderer could emerge from this deep mountain!
Why didn't this murderer wear a mask to cover his face like himself?

Of course it was because everyone who saw him was already dead, so naturally there was no need to cover his face!

It seems that the murderer I encountered is still a master!

Quickly drawing this conclusion in the brain, the bandaged man's heart trembled slightly.

After all, he is a counterfeit, and the opposite is a real guy who kills like hemp.

But after thinking about it, I am now walking with this murderer, wouldn't it be difficult for me to walk together?
Then as long as I hand over the little girl I want to kill to this colleague, wouldn't I be able to save a lot of trouble?

That's it!

The man in the bandage made up his mind, moved half of his body away, and opened the two lips exposed in the gap of the bandage.

"or."

"You come?"

Just then, there was a sound from the bushes on the other side.

This time it was a little boy in blue who came out.

Seeing this little boy, Qin Zhibo called out habitually again.

"Work Conan."

"Uncle Qin?"

Conan was first startled by the visually striking man in bandages in the middle of the open space, and then surprised by Qin Zhibo who was also visually striking next to him.

At this time, the bandage man also reacted.

It turned out that this was not his colleague, but someone the girl and the child knew.

Run!

Without saying a word, the bandage man turned around and ran towards the direction where no one was blocking him.

Seeing that the man with the bandage was about to run away, Conan made a decisive decision and chose to catch up quickly.

But within two steps of catching up, Conan found that the speed of the other party was very fast, as if the terrain of the forest in rainy days had a bonus to movement speed, and quickly disappeared into the woods.

But he can't run, because there are
Conan looked around reassuringly, but found that Qin Zhibo was still standing there and did not catch up.

"Qin! Uncle, why don't you chase after him?"

"Huh? Why should I chase after?"

"Because he is a murderer."

Conan's brain suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he remembered that the bandaged man hadn't killed anyone yet.

"Because he looks suspicious! And he came out suddenly to attack Xiaolan!"

Qin Zhibo shrugged his shoulders: "Is that so?"

"I thought he was the one who went up the mountain to chop wood."

This cannot be blamed on Qin Zhibo, because in this situation people feel suspicious, and seeing the other party holding an ax in his hand and thinking that he is going to kill someone is based on the fear in his heart.

And Qin Zhibo didn't feel the slightest fear or uneasiness from the bandaged man just now, so he naturally wouldn't make malicious speculations about the person he met for the first time.

As for the bandage man attacking Xiaolan, Qin Zhibo looked more like helping Xiaolan who fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Xiaolan's screams and frightened expression were also due to the fact that her clothes were dirty in the mud.

Qin Zhibo has seen such a girl who screams loudly when her shoes are stepped on.

To put it simply, the disadvantage of high will is that it does not have the same empathy ability as ordinary people when facing terrifying images.
