When Martin and Suzuki Sonoko returned to the restaurant, there was no one there.

"Sister!" Suzuki Sonoko ran to the kitchen and asked, "Do you know where Xiaolan went?"

"She was dragged by Ota and went for a walk in the woods outside. Don't worry, the little boy with glasses followed them." Suzuki Ayako replied.

"Hey, Brother Ota is eyeing Xiaolan." Suzuki Sonoko felt a little disappointed. Among the boys, Ota Masaru had the best appearance and was Suzuki Sonoko's favorite development partner.

However, it is no surprise that, like the handsome guy Suzuki Sonoko had seen a few times before, the men all chose Mao Lilan between her and Mao Lilan.

At this time, Sonoko Suzuki found that Hiroki Kakutani had put the camera in the living room before leaving. She suggested to Martin: "Why don't we take brother Kakutani's camera and chase it out to take pictures of Ran and Brother Ota walking."

"No need, with Conan here, that man has no chance to get close to Xiaolan." Martin said calmly.

Either Conan made trouble himself, or a corpse was suddenly discovered.

Sonoko didn't know how powerful Conan's effect was, but she was persuaded and gave up the idea of ​​chasing him out to have a look. Then she and Martin briefly cleaned up the messy restaurant they played games in the afternoon, and then played poker for a while.

Boom—it's thundering outside.

"Xiaolan and the others should have brought umbrellas, right? It's been said for a long time that it's going to rain tonight..."

"By the way, do you want to wash your face?" Sonoko pointed to Martin's face. A pair of glasses was drawn on Martin's face when he was playing Big Adventure, and Sonoko almost laughed when Pocky challenged him.

Martin said lightly: "It's a small problem, I'll wipe it with a rag later."

"Hey, be nice to your face."

"It's okay, I'm shameless."

"I see."

When the two were playing cards and chattering, Mao Lilan and Conan ran back from the outside, but their faces were still in shock.

……

"What, you guys were attacked by a guy with a bandage all over his face?"

When Conan and Mao Lilan talked about their experiences, the people who had scattered before gathered in the hall of the villa again.

It is said that Ota Katsura persuaded and dragged Mao Lilan out for a walk. In fact, not long after going out, because Mao Lilan and Conan always had something to say, Ota Katsuki felt isolated by the two of them. Separated and left.

When Mao Lilan and Conan were walking through the woods alone, the black-robed bandage monster who had appeared on the suspension bridge during the day reappeared and attacked them with a sharp axe.

Because of the terrifying appearance of the other party, Mao Lilan was afraid of the ghost's character attack and did not do anything.Instead, Conan rushed forward and bumped into the weirdo.

Later, there was thunder and lightning, and it rained heavily. The bandaged man ran away for some reason. It may also be because of Mao Lilan's screaming, fearing that other people would be attracted together.

Takahashi Ryoichi said suddenly: "Speaking of the man with the bandage on his face, I saw that guy on the suspension bridge when I came to the villa, and he ran away across the suspension bridge immediately after seeing me."

Then Hiroki Kakutani and Masaru Ohta did the same, saying that they were coming to the villa

On the way, I saw a bandaged man standing on the suspension bridge.

"I thought it was a nearby resident." Ota Katsura said.

"Impossible!" Suzuki Ayako said firmly: "If you talk about the side of the suspension bridge, there are two or three villas a little farther away. There is only one villa on the side of the suspension bridge, and there are others on the other side of the mountain."

"That guy shouldn't be a murderer, right?" Ryoichi Takahashi said in fear, "He's going to kill everyone in the villa one by one!"

"How can there be so many murderers? If you ask me, it's just a crazy prank." Chikako Ikeda said.

When everyone was arguing about the danger of the bandage monster, Martin suggested to the two girls, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko: "Well, Conan and I will go out and see if we can find some clues. Wait here, don't separate, don't leave alone."

"But that person doesn't seem easy to deal with." Mao Lilan worried.

Martin patted his chest: "Don't worry, today I also have some martial arts."

"You today?" Suzuki Sonoko was puzzled, but no one answered her.

Martin and Conan left the villa with umbrellas.

"You collided with the bandage monster? How does it feel? Does it look like a monster like a mummy?" Martin asked after going out.

There are only him and Conan, and there is no need to use the remote control to control the mechanical head to pretend to move when talking.

Conan shook his head: "It feels like a relatively strong adult male, alive."

"That shouldn't have anything to do with my superpowers, it's just a normal murderer." Martin came to his conclusion.

"The murderer can't be considered normal, right?" Conan routinely complained: "Where are we going?"

"Of course it's a suspension bridge. Let's see if we can go out and call the police."

Suzuki Ayako tried to call the outside world just now, but the landline phone that can still be used during the day is no longer available, and it seems to have been destroyed by the bandage monster.

As for mobile phones, Martin and Mao Lilan's mobile phones were both 'no service' when they entered the mountain forest.

The suspension bridge is just in front of the villa, and the two of them are within a few steps.Because of the poor visibility due to the darkness and rain, it was only when we got closer that the suspension bridge had been cut off.

It was broken from this side of the villa, and it seemed that the Bandage Monster was unabashedly trying to let everyone in the villa go.

"Look, the bridge is broken." Martin said to Conan proudly.

"What's there to be happy about?" Conan's mouth twitched. "This valley is ten meters wide. Can you jump over it today and call the police?"

"Of course I can't." Martin said naturally, "I don't need this ability either—I'm a knight."

As he spoke, Martin took out the remote control from his pocket and pressed the 'whistle' button.

"Hoo--!" A long whistle sounded from the mechanical head, and Conan immediately heard the sound of horseshoes coming from a distance. According to what he learned in Hawaii, this was still a metal horseshoe. The sound of hooves made by horses.

Soon, the horse—or at least a monster with horse legs—appeared in Conan's vision.

It was a black horse with dark blue flames similar to Martin's on its four hooves, and its tail was also burning with flames. Apart from the saddle, its back was covered with armor. The armor was originally silver-white, but It was covered with rust and blood stains under the erosion of the years.

The four hooves are nailed with horseshoes, and each step can make a loud sound, splashing puddles and mud on the ground together.

The reason why Conan can't confirm that it is a horse is because it has no head, just like Martin.

The neck of the black horse was cut off by Qi Gen, revealing blurry flesh and blood. With every step it ran, a stream of black blood rippling out of it, blending into the rainy night.

In line with the rigorous principles of detectives, it is still not certain that it was a horse during its lifetime—what if it was a centaur that was cut in half?

The headless horse ran from the other side of the broken valley, and when it reached the edge of the cliff, it leaped vigorously, and its four legs drew four faint blue afterimages in midair, and then landed steadily beside Martin.

"The Headless Horseman, and his horse." Martin introduced, "I named it Monk Zhanger."

Chapter 62 Chapter [-] (Second update) Chikako Ikeda

Martin stretched out his hand and stroked the headless horse's back: "Monk Zhang Er can completely drive me across the valley, how about it? I'll go to the police?"

The headless horse's back moved, and the broken neck tilted, as if it was still rubbing its invisible head affectionately against its owner.

Conan thought about it carefully: "No, you'd better stay."

Suppose Martin goes to a place with mobile phone signal to call the police, but the roads in this remote place are closed to traffic, and it is raining heavily, so the police will not be able to arrive until noon tomorrow.

Even if they tried to contact Suzuki's family, the helicopter couldn't fly in a thunderstorm.Also have to wait for the rain to stop before the implementation of rescue.

Since the distance can't quench the near thirst, it's better to keep Martin as a force to deal with the bandage monster, especially when Xiaolan is afraid that she won't be able to exert her combat power at all.

Martin gestured to the headless horse, not knowing how it 'saw' it, and walked into the grove where Conan met the bandaged man.

"If we don't call the police or ask for help, we will be in the standard Blizzard Villa mode now." Martin said, then he thought for a while, and suddenly took a step away from Conan, covering his head with one hand: "No, according to the general plot development, I'm afraid that my head will be smashed by you instead of football!"

Martin and Conan came out with an umbrella. At this time, Martin took the umbrella and moved a step sideways. Not only was the heavy rain pouring over Conan in an instant, but the water jet flowing from the umbrella surface was also accurately poured on Conan's head. , screamed at Conan, and ran back to the villa in three steps and two steps.

When the two returned to the villa, Ikeda Chikako went back to sleep, Takahashi Ryoichi continued to repair the roof in the rain, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko stayed in the living room obediently, next to Kakutani Hiroki and Kadotani who were recording something with a video recorder. Masaru Ota poses alone.

Before going upstairs to change clothes, Conan said that the suspension bridge was cut off, which caused another wave of panic without accident.

However, the few people talked and discussed for a long time without any reason, until Conan finished changing and went downstairs, there was no result, so he could only decide to lock the doors and windows before going to bed tonight.

Suzuki Ayako came out of the kitchen, called Sonoko to help serve the dishes, and announced that dinner could begin.

"Takahashi-kun, dinner is ready. Is the roof repaired?" Suzuki Ayako called out the window on the second floor of the living room.

There is a row of corridors on the second floor above the living room. There are floor-to-ceiling windows leading to the outside of the villa. One of them is open, and the outside is a corridor-shaped balcony.Ryoichi Takahashi had previously climbed onto the roof from here to make repairs.

"It's just finished!" Ryoichi Takahashi walked in through the window.

"Thank you for your hard work, these tasks can only be done by you who were in charge of large props back then."

"It's all right...huh?" Takahashi Ryoichi, who was about to come down, seemed to have noticed something, turned around and ran outside in a hurry, and asked loudly to the bottom of the balcony, "Hey, who are you?"

These words naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the room: "Gaoqiao, what did you see!"

Takahashi Ryoichi grabbed the balcony railing and pointed down: "That guy with bandages is passing by outside the house!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Gao

On the window directly below Hashi Ryoichi.

Swish-!

"Yeah!" the girls screamed.

A terrifying black shadow suddenly passed by the window at a very fast speed.Although the speed was very fast, everyone saw his face, it was the weird man with bandages.Not only that, but there was a figure wrapped in the bandage monster's arms, and Chikako Ikeda's head was exposed.

"Chikako, he took Chikako away!" Kakutani Hiroki yelled.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" Several boys hurried out, and Martin and Conan, who had just changed into dry clothes, were among them.

After running a few steps towards the place where the figure disappeared, they found a bloody broken foot at the edge of the woods.

"Chikako!" Kakutani Hiroki recognized that it was Chikako's shoes, which meant that Chikako was in danger, so he rushed into the woods in a hurry.

When passing the broken foot, Conan took a closer look and noticed the shoe on the broken foot: 'Huh?Isn't Chikako Ikeda sleeping in the room?Why not slippers but shoes for going out? '

As the group of people went deeper into the woods, they found a few more scattered stumps, and they searched around separately.When Ryoichi Takahashi, who was at the end, had caught up, Masaru Ota found Chikako Ikeda's torso and the detached head.

"Chikako!"

……

The few people who were drenched in the rain surrounded the remains of Chikako Ikeda in silence.

Conan didn't find any more clues. He raised his head to look at Martin, and found that Martin was still staring at Chikako Ikeda's body.

It doesn't have to be really staring, because Martin's head is fake, but Martin has not moved for a long time.Conan thought that Martin's character would mutter a few cold jokes at the corpse.

"Martin?" Conan thought that Martin didn't seem like someone who would be frightened by a corpse. Could it be because this time it was a corpse?
