"What's the size of the bandage monster who attacked you just now?"

"Body shape..." Mao Lilan recalled a little, and replied: "It's relatively thin, anyway, I'm not fat."

"Okay, I know."

Lin Xinyi sighed lightly:

This is a puzzle with no suspense at all.

Who is that bandage weirdo, and why did he attack Mao Lilan? Thinking about the clues I got before, I can figure it out.

"I'm going to catch that bandage freak now and end today's farce."

"Miss Maori, you stay at the scene first and protect the footprints left by the murderer."

"remember…"

"Don't let the footprints stay in the rain for too long, or they will get deformed."

Lin Xinyi decisively arranged jobs for his students, turned around and was about to leave.

However, when I saw that Miss Maori who was so afraid of ghosts that she was so scared that she sat paralyzed to this day...

He couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.

"Ah... get up."

Lin Xinyi walked over and helped her up from the ground.

Then, seeing the pattering raindrops...

Lin Xinyi walked up to Conan again, and snatched Conan's umbrella.

At this time, Conan was seriously reasoning about the identity and purpose of the bandage monster, thinking extremely deeply.

It wasn't until Lin Xinyi snatched the umbrella in his hand, and the cold raindrops hit his face, that he finally reacted...

"Ah... forgot to open an umbrella for Xiaolan!"

Conan's dull head with low EQ finally remembered his childhood sweetheart who was still in the rain.

But at this time, it was too late.

The umbrella has been snatched by Lin Xinyi, and he handed it to Mao Lilan:

"Miss Maori, remember to open the umbrella properly."

"Well... thank you, Mr. Lin."

Mao Lilan put down the umbrella and nodded with some emotion.

"This..." Conan looked anxiously:

Grab my umbrella to protect my girlfriend from the rain?

You, you... are too deceitful!

Conan was in a very depressed mood, but he was helpless:

It has to be said that this time it was his own reaction that was too slow to give Lin Xinyi a chance to perform.

but…

Isn't that guy Lin Xinyi's emotional intelligence similar to his?

Why did this dull man become so careful in front of Xiaolan?

Difficult, could it be, what Sonoko said...

All true?

Detective Conan is feeling extremely anxious at the moment.

He could even imagine the depressing scene where Xiaolan and Lin Xinyi were secretly talking about their relationship without telling everyone.

It's over, it's too late...

He's completely out!

Conan was thinking so desperately...

Lin Xinyi, who hadn't gone far, suddenly stopped again.

He turned around and said to Mao Lilan with a surprised expression:

"Hey...Miss Maori, you have to open your umbrella!"

"Eh?" Mao Lilan was a little dazed: "I...I'm done."

"Who asked you to hold an umbrella for yourself?"

Seeing that a good student who has been getting full marks suddenly made a mistake on the score sending question, Lin Xinyi reminded with some pain:

"Didn't I just tell you..."

"Footprints, protect footprints first!"

Chapter 141

In Mao Lilan's eyes full of question marks...

Lin Xinyi stepped forward, gently grasped the handle of the umbrella, and slowly moved the umbrella away from her head.

Carefully fixing the umbrella above the footprints to be protected, he instructed her in a serious tone:

"Miss Maori, I'm going to get the survey box, you stand here and don't move around."

"If there is a cross wind, remember to block the rain with your body."

As he spoke, Lin Xin walked out of the woods without looking back, leaving only a hurried figure behind.

Mao Lilan: "..."

The raindrops dripped on my body and wet my cheeks.

"Mr. Lin's girlfriend, isn't it imagined?" Mao Lilan said to herself with some worry.

"Very likely." Conan agreed from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Xinyi didn't notice the sympathetic and caring eyes of the two behind him.

He quickened his pace and rushed out of the woods, and soon returned to the mountain villa.

Satoshi Ota, who was frightened by the bandage monster in the woods and fled Xiaolan on the spot, also returned here at this moment.

And in the living room of the villa...

Caesar was baring his fangs, wagging his tail, and circled around Ikeda, Kakutani, Ayako, and Sonoko who were left here before.

As long as someone tries to leave the living room, it will put on a super fierce posture of "a dragon roaring", scaring people back with a "bark bark bark bark".

Seeing Lin Xin came back, Caesar finally put away his posture, and stopped baring his teeth at the target it wanted to guard.

"well-done."

Lin Xinyi touched the dog's head that took the initiative to come over in relief:

Caesar watched the four of them, including Ikeda Chikako, and did not let them run away alone.

Plus Satoshi Ota who has returned here, Mao Lilan who has become vigilant, and Conan who is protected by Mao Lilan...

At least now, everyone's life safety is guaranteed.

"Where's Ryoichi Takahashi?"

At first, Lin Xin focused on searching for the murderer.

And he didn't even bother...

Then Takahashi Ryoichi appeared from another door and walked into the living room:

"Here, I'm here!"

"I've been upstairs fixing the roof when suddenly I heard Miss Maury calling for help."

"How, is she okay? What happened just now?"

Takahashi Ryoichi walked in nervously, pretending to be ignorant.

Seeing him appearing in front of him so brightly, Lin Xinyi felt relieved:

After killing the person, he still doesn't run away, but stays here and continues to pretend...

It's like wrapping your face in stockings—a snare from your head!

"Miss Maury has just been attacked by a bandaged man who came out of the woods."

"He's fine, just a little scared."

Lin Xinyi explained the situation calmly, while Takahashi Ryoichi's expression changed drastically.

He completely ignored Lin Xinyi's disdainful gaze as if watching a monkey show, and said in shock:

"Bandage, bandage freak!"

"When I came to the villa in the afternoon, I seemed to see such a guy in a cloak and bandages nearby."

"This..." Kakutani Hiroki and Ota Satoru also reacted: "We seem to have seen him too!"

"No... no way?" Suzuki Ayako sounded a little nervous: "There are no residents around here at all... Who is that bandage weirdo?"

After a few people chatted, the atmosphere gradually became terrifying and tense.

It's like, that bandaged man is some kind of ghost wandering in the mountains, a perverted killer in horror movies.

But at this moment, Lin Xinyi stood up calmly.

He did not directly participate in the discussion about the bandage monster, but turned to Suzuki Sonoko and said:

"Miss Suzuki, can you do me a favor?"

"Go to my room and get the field inspection box on the desk, and help deliver it to Mao Lilan."

"She is in the woods on the right hand side of the door, not far away."
