Be the god of death in the world of famous detectives

Chapter 53 It's Said That Small Forests Are Dangerous

Conan doesn't like this passive approach, but the problem is that there are too few clues now.

They didn't know anything about the bandaged man, and even the attack on Xiaolan, it was hard to say whether it was planned in advance by the man or just a whim, which really made it impossible for Conan to start.

Indeed... It is safest to stay in the villa.

While thinking, Conan subconsciously looked towards the entrance.The door of the villa was wide open. A group of people ran in a hurry just now. No one wanted to close the door. Looking from the inside, one could only see a mass of darkness. A small splash of rain was blown in by the wind, splashed on the door, and passed out on the floor. Heavy aqua.

Conan frowned, and was about to go out and call people back. If the bridge is really broken, it's better not to continue wandering outside. The bandage monster has a murder weapon in his hand. Even if there are many people on his side, he may hurt people.

But just after reaching the door, Conan bumped into the large army head-on - including Takahashi who ran away the first time, and everyone who went out came back.

Zhi Jiazi shook the wet short hair while twisting the rainwater from his sleeves, with displeasure written all over his face, "It's too bad luck, what quality is this bridge, luckily it didn't break when I left."

Suzuki Ayako helped them bring towels with a wry smile, and couldn't help but maintain her own project, "The quality of the suspension bridge should be okay..." There were several cut marks on the bridge pillars near the villa, and the bridge was probably cut by someone. It was broken, and because it was broken on this side, that person is probably still near the villa.

... But this speculation was too scary, she didn't dare to say it, thinking that as long as the doors and windows were locked, people wandering outside should not be so easy to break in.

Zhi Jiazi didn't notice her hesitant to speak, but felt that the wet clothes were sticking to her body, so she went straight to the room and waved her hand unhappy, "Forget it, it's too late today, wait until the rain stops tomorrow Alright, let's go out from the back mountain together.

Suzuki Ayako nodded, and went to the kitchen to continue processing the half-done dinner, and her other classmates quickly went away on their own.

After all, they have never witnessed the bandage monster attacking anyone, and there have been no casualties so far. Although they are nervous, they are not too scared.

Tomokako quickly went up to the second floor and came to her room.

She twisted the handle to open the door, and was about to go in, when she kicked something suddenly under her feet, and looked down, it was a letter, which fell from the crack of the door when she opened it.

Zhijiazi picked it up suspiciously, took it apart and looked at it, and then her face changed suddenly, as if a centipede had been splashed on her head, her usual cold expression disappeared, and her eyes were full of fear and anger for a moment. anger.

She clutched the letter into a ball viciously, and was about to throw it on the ground. When she stomped her feet a few times to vent her anger, a surprised voice suddenly sounded behind her, "Are you okay?"

"Who?!", Zhi Jiazi didn't realize that there was someone behind her at all, and when she was accosted, her heart beat violently, she suddenly turned around and took a few steps back, and found Xiaolan's brother behind her.

...Calm down, this is an outsider I met for the first time today, it is impossible for him to write the letter.Thinking of this, Tomokako managed to calm down.

She stared at Bai Shu for a while, and found that his expression was calm, with a hint of worry in his eyes. In short, he didn't look like he had peeped at the letter.

Zhijiazi clenched her hand tightly behind her, pinching her own palm. With the help of the pain, she quickly calmed herself down, and forced a calm and decent smile, "It's okay, thank you, I'm just a little tired all of a sudden. ...Can I trouble you to tell them that you don't have to wait for me for dinner when you go downstairs? I want to sleep for a while. "

"Okay." Bai Shu nodded like an enthusiastic passer-by, and after Chikako returned to the room, he also turned and walked into his room.

There are a lot of empty rooms in this villa, as the temporary extra person, Bai Shu chose a place by himself very bluntly.

The window of his room is at the back of the villa, diagonally below, which happens to be the back door of the villa.

After returning to the house, Bai Shu locked the door, pulled a chair to the side of the window, and put it against the wall.

Then he sat down on the stool. A few minutes later, he heard the sound of a door opening and closing on the second floor. Not long after, there were two clicks from outside—the back door had been opened.

Bai Shu opened a gap in the curtain, took a look outside, and found that it was Zhi Jiazi who slipped out of the door in a hurry, and even forgot to bring her umbrella in a panic.

Bai Shu didn't pay attention to that letter, but he knew what was written on it.

Zhijiazi is now a well-known screenwriter. Her first representative work in the literary world is "The Blue Kingdom", which is currently being screened. This work made her famous when she was a student, and it can be said that it is the foundation of her current status. .

...It's just that the foundation is not stable, because her work was copied, and the victim is the girl who committed suicide before, Atsuko.

Atsuko's dream is to be a novelist. She is indeed very talented. Before the work was published, she gave Zhi Jiazi her novel "Azure Kingdom" to taste. that's it.

Then she published "The Blue Kingdom", and her journey has been smooth since then. Atsuko, whose idea was stolen by her, couldn't stand the blow for a while and committed suicide.

Zhi Jiazi thinks that God knows that she knows that Dunzi knows this, but she never expected that Dunzi's novels were not only read by her alone: ​​the note at her door just now was a threat from an insider to invite her to stay at the school. Shulin met, otherwise the plagiarism would be exposed.

It was a cloudy and rainy day to make an appointment in the grove, and I knew it couldn't be a good thing. Zhijiazi dared to go to the appointment. She was really brave, maybe she thought the other party only wanted a hush money.

But not.

After this time, she will never be able to walk back by herself.

Bai Shu watched the gloomy night scene outside quietly through the rain-covered window. Not long after Chikako left, a ladder came down from the side.The man in the raincoat landed silently, and chased after Zhijiazi along the road that Zhijiazi walked, dragging a heavy ax in his hand.

After his back disappeared into the forest, Bai Shu got up and opened the window, stepped on the window sill, and was about to jump down, but he remembered something, and stopped suddenly.

...It seems that in a short time, the murderer will lead people to the scene of Zhijiazi's body dismemberment. Such a short period of time should not be enough for Zhijiazi's soul to crawl far, and he will just be able to get along with the crowd. Why do you have to run away? Two trips increase the workload for myself.

...That's right, just to improve work efficiency, not because I don't want to get wet or step on wet mud.

Bai Shu withdrew his feet as if nothing had happened, and closed the window again. He picked up a towel to wipe off the rainwater on his body, wiped the window sill clean, then opened the door, and returned to the hall on the first floor.
