Conan: I am really a good person

Chapter 218 It's Me

The screams were piercing, and were made up of the screams of different people, men and women, and struck straight into everyone's ears.

A future is motionless and seems to be still alive, but in fact the person has been gone for a while.

"It's so harsh," he said softly to the system, "It's so irritating to the brain."

It was as if the tofu had just been scooped into the bowl one by one, and before it could recover, it was poured with boiling chicken soup.

"Do you have any idea?"

system:【……】

It's not like it did it...

The screams lasted for a few seconds before gradually dying down.

Suzuki Sonoko said uncertainly: "Then, is that Miss Ikeda?"

Her cheeks were pale, and she immediately turned to look at Suzuki Ayako, feeling a little panic and fear: Chikako Ikeda seemed to be dead, and her sister, just a minute ago, was knocking on the deceased's door, trying to Chatting with each other.

...If Chikako Ikeda died in her bedroom, does that mean that there was only one door between Suzuki Ayako and the murderer?

This is a guess that makes Suzuki Sonoko's hair stand on end.

Suzuki Ayako also reacted belatedly, instinctively rejecting the fact that 'Chikako Ikeda is dead', she backed away and shook her head, "No, but I have been at the door and can hear the movement in the room. There is no sound in the room. No, it’s very quiet, it’s impossible for Chikako to be murdered in the bedroom?!”

And if the murderer waited for Suzuki Ayako to walk away before taking action, the time was too tight and impossible.

Upstairs, Ryoichi Takahashi who was halfway down the ladder said urgently, "Then isn't it possible that she is not dead?!"

He jumped off the ladder in a hurry, rushed down the stairs, and rushed out of the villa, "That guy probably just kidnapped her!"

"If we arrive in time, maybe we can still find her!"

The impact of the creepy bandage monster and Chikako Ikeda's pale and stiff cheeks was so great that most people actually didn't react, and their brains seemed to be buffered and went blank.

When I heard Ryoichi Takahashi say, "It's possible to rescue Chikako Ikeda," I saw him rushing out urgently, and I wanted to follow him out without thinking.

A future: "."

He actually had no intention of preventing the murder.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with him. It would be very troublesome to stop him. He would have to explain a lot of things. Even if he stopped it at the time, the murderer might come again later. Stopping the person who committed the first murder would simply add to the trouble.

People will always die when they are alive. Instead of caring about others, it is better to cause less trouble for yourself.

But the premise is: it has nothing to do with yourself.

It's dark now, and there is a dark jungle outside. Once Takahashi Ryoichi incites everyone to rush into the dark jungle before everyone can react, they will all be naturally separated by the dark origin.

The killer can strike again.

This time the target is Chikako Ikeda, and next time it will be an outsider who saw the murderer changing clothes in the future.

Detective games are not very fun.

It's okay when I'm working. During non-working hours, if Ichijo Mirai is interested, I might be able to play a few fun games, but now my tolerance level is very low because of some discomfort in my head.

Very impatient.

"Please wait a moment," he firmly pulled Conan's back collar to prevent the child from rushing out, "Mr. Takahashi,"

"Mr. Murderer, before you go to find the body of the deceased lady, why don't you take out the evidence from your 'belly' first."

He patted Conan's head calmly and said, "Stop struggling. If you struggle any more, the collar will tear."

He almost missed it.

How can a child have so much strength...

When the bandage monster flashed past the window with Chikako Ikeda, causing screams, Conan was about to rush out to give chase before Takahashi Ryoichi could instigate him.

But he was caught by a future man with sharp eyes and quick hands.

He was a little anxious: no matter if he was carrying a person or a corpse, the bandage monster wouldn't be able to get far. If he chased him in time, he might be able to catch him!

It wasn't until Ichijo Mirai spoke and the words went around in his mind twice that Conan stopped struggling and successfully got the translation: The murderer was Takahashi Ryoichi.

……what?

what?

He loaded it, then loaded it again, and suddenly looked up at Ryoichi Takahashi, just in time to see him stop in mid-run, and his face suddenly turned from a normal flesh color to a pale paper color.

Takahashi Ryoichi: "W-what?"

"what are you talking about?"

The twist was so unexpected that even the murderer, not to mention the other people who lacked perspective, couldn't react. One second he was nervously carrying out the final stages of his murder plan, but the next second he was suddenly told that he had failed. .

Sweat flowed from his forehead, and Takahashi Ryoichi laughed dryly, "W-what is this gentleman talking about?"

"Why am I the murderer? I just talked to everyone when that bandage weirdo left with Chikako, right? I was in everyone's sight from beginning to end, how could I be the murderer!"

"And Chikako may not die, right?"

"The guy left with one person, and his speed will definitely be slower than normal. If we catch up, we might..."

Mirai Ichijo interrupted, "If we chase into the dark jungle, we will naturally disperse. Maybe we will create an opportunity for you to attack Miss Suzuki, Miss Mori or me and kill us all, right?"

This is no longer boring work time to patiently teach children step by step. Although it still needs to be explained clearly, there is no need to explain word for word, argue from two or three ideas, and give appropriate examples. He cuts through the mess quickly and draws a clear line. : "When we arrived at the villa in the afternoon, we accidentally opened your door. There were three of you,"

"Everyone involved should still remember it, right?"

Takahashi Ryoichi guessed what Mirai Ichichi was going to say.

He wriggled his lips a few times, but before he could squeeze out the words in a cold sweat, Mirai Ichijo continued, "Among them is Mr. Ryoichi Takahashi,"

"However, Mr. Takahashi who was changing clothes had a thin figure instead of the bulging belly now. At that time, Mr. Takahashi's clothes were piled with layers of bandages."

"I actually didn't pay much attention to it at first. It was Ms. Suzuki who told me that I had been attacked. She explained the attacker's appearance and dress, and said, 'They just arrived at the villa, and they have no grudges against anyone. Why would there be anyone? Attack them and want to kill them?' I just recalled this question,"

"Right?" He looked at Suzuki Sonoko, "Ms. Suzuki?"

Suzuki Sonoko tried to remember: Is Takahashi Ryoichi a thin man?

She didn't pay much attention.

Although the door was open for two or three seconds, which was enough for everyone to see Takahashi Ryoichi's posture and figure clearly, with Mirai Ichijo next to him, Suzuki Sonoko only felt embarrassed at that time.

The embarrassment of accidentally embarrassing yourself in front of your crush three times, even if your crush doesn't show any strange expression, but you want to delete your memory immediately or take a time machine to travel back a few minutes to change the future. I'm still a little angry: Why do one, two or three of them change their clothes without closing the door? Do they know how to protect themselves?

Looking back now, she could only recall the expression of a slightly raised eyebrow in the future.

But Suzuki Sonoko clearly remembered the last paragraph of 'narrating appearance and questions', and nodded without hesitation, "Yeah!"

She looked at Ryoichi Takahashi's chubby belly and hesitated, "Uh, um, Mr. Takahashi, could you lift up your clothes?"

He added hastily, "We girls can turn our heads."

If it were other things, Takahashi Ryoichi could still defend it, but for the 'stomach', he really couldn't defend it, and he didn't dare to raise it, so he could only remain silent with a sullen face.

"No matter what your original figure is, it is actually personal privacy. Even if I accidentally caught a glimpse, I shouldn't have said it," Mirai Ichijo said again, following the line of reasoning he picked out, "But when I think about it, At the same time, I also remembered that there was a bandage among your clothes, the kind of bandage on the face of the bandage weirdo."

"My first reaction was to suspect that you are the bandage weirdo."

"But you are a bandage weirdo, so what was that figure that flashed outside just now? You were on the second floor at the time, under our gaze, and you can breathe and talk. You can't be a dummy, right?"

At this point, Ichijo Mirai slowly repeated, "Dummy,"

"This playful self-questioning gave me a guess."

He looked at Ryoichi Takahashi who was extremely pale, but his face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot. "Just now, when the bandage weirdo slid over and screamed, and when I spoke to you, Mr. Takahashi, there was nothing loud enough to suppress the sound outside. Let’s make a loud noise, right?”

"For example, the sound of two people pulling a rope that is almost too thin to be seen and falling from the second floor to the ground."

"After the bandage monster and Miss Ikeda flashed past the window, there was no sound. It seemed that they had not landed and were still hanging in the air." He reminded, "Just now, I only saw the bandaged face of the bandage monster and Miss Ikeda. Pale cheeks, everything else obscured by a cloak that merged with the darkness.”

"I guess Mr. Takahashi on the second floor is not a dummy. The dummy is the bandaged weirdo outside the window. It is impossible for a dummy to lift up a real person, and it is impossible for a dummy to land without leaving too much noise."

"So, I'm afraid Miss Ikeda is dead now, right?"

"What just appeared outside the window was a dummy and her head."

Talking too much, Ichigo Mirai briefly thought for a few seconds: Is it easier to write a lesson plan of several thousand words, or is it easier to just speak and draw a line face to face?

Not easy.

...Can all the murderers have some points? Don't worry about your "killing people invisible in the crowd". If you want to kill people without being exposed, just kill them all with unparalleled power!

"Ms. Suzuki Ayako didn't hear any sound. I'm afraid it's because Miss Ikeda was no longer in the room and went out, right? She went out with you who was 'renovating the roof, so you can confidently stay out of other people's sight.'"

His little patience was declining rapidly, and he spoke faster and faster, "You want everyone to get out. I guess the other parts of Miss Ikeda's body are not far outside. You want to guide everyone to find the body, so that It is believed that Ms. Ikeda died between the time the bandage monster took her away and the discovery of the body."

He added, "I still need to clean up the mechanism and put the dummy away again, leaving only Ms. Ikeda's head. I guess you have been hiding the dummy in your belly. For the convenience of use and concealment, it should be inflated." "

"This can be verified tomorrow morning when the police come to search the surrounding area. As for now,"

This line of reasoning is a line of reasoning that becomes frizzy and gradually becomes impatient. The closer it ends, the more explosive it gets. You can almost analyze the level of impatience in the future.

Ichigai didn't leave room for others to react, and directly pointed out the most undoubted evidence, "Please take off your clothes, Mr. Takahashi."

Takahashi Ryoichi: "..."

The others didn't even have time to say a word before they were filled with the detective's reasonable speculations. They were a little dizzy and couldn't help but look at Takahashi Ryoichi: "..."

The audience was silent for a few seconds.

Conan took the initiative to take a few steps toward the future, loosening his tight collar a little.

He stared at Ryoichi Takahashi intently, and broke the silence with a child's tone, "What's wrong with you, Brother Takahashi?"

"If I want to refute my future brother's words, I can simply lift up my clothes and reveal my real belly, right?"

Suzuki Ayako: "Takahashi, how about you..."

"Open it," Mr. Photographer agreed hesitantly and fearfully, "It's just opening your clothes. Your belly can't really be fake, right?!"

Takahashi Ryoichi: "..."

He wanted to say that even if the belly was fake, it wouldn't mean anything. It couldn't mean that the person was killed by himself.

Can't people be a little quirky? His quirk is pretending to be fat.

However, he couldn't open it.

When he went out to meet Chikako Ikeda, he killed her with an axe, cut her body into pieces, and when he returned, he stuffed her head into his stomach for fear of meeting someone unexpectedly.

Now, there is only a layer of empty stuffing there, waiting for Takahashi Ryoichi to compact it, and the blood stains on the head.

Once opened, there is no room for turning back.

...In other words, since killing Chikako Ikeda, there is no room for turning back.

No, it starts from seeing a future.

"I knew it," Takahashi Ryoichi tightened his hands. "When the girl opened the door and I looked out in surprise, I had a premonition that something was not good. I had a feeling that she would definitely be exposed."

When he turned his head after hearing the sound, he saw a panicked Mao Lilan, a tightly frowning Suzuki Sonoko, and Conan who only partially showed his eyes and his eyes were completely empty.

These are not what attract Takahashi Ryoichi's attention the most. What concerns him most is a future.

Standing at the farthest distance, he glanced over lightly, and with just one glance, he deepened the smile that seemed to have a hidden meaning on his face, and smiled at a future.

It was a very wonderful feeling. Although there were so many people, Takahashi Ryoichi could see a future at a glance, as if he could be seen at a glance even in the crowd. It was a kind of seeing a touch of belonging among the vast flock of sheep. Wolf gray feel.

This was the first time Takahashi Ryoichi made up his mind to kill someone. It was the first time he encountered this inexplicable feeling. At that time, he already had a vague premonition:

'Mirai Ichijo discovered his disguise. ’

Perhaps it is this kind of premonition that Takahashi Ryoichi has always had a faint panic. When he sees a future, when he cannot see a future, when he feels that a future is quietly staying in the spider web that he has worked hard to weave. When the spider silk presses downwards and creates overwhelming arcs.

It's like a wolf meeting the instinctive fear of the Wolf King.

And at this time, it was verified.

Takahashi Ryoichi bent his back a little and opened his clothes, revealing the fluffy stuffing tied to his belly.

He said: "...it's me."
