Chapter 47: You didn't want this either...
Because Akutagawa Hiko knocked over the green hat that was lurking on Conan's head, Conan very obsequiously moved the cookies that Akutagawa Hiko had tasted a few times in front of him, his face clearly saying "Well done!"
Akutagawa Hiko patted Conan's head with satisfaction, using a similar technique to when he was patting a soup dumpling.
……
Ryoichi Takahashi said he was going to repair the roof, which was true. Although he looked fat, he was agile and quick, and finished his work in no time.
Immediately afterwards, he took out the stuffing used to fill his large belly, which turned out to be long bandages and a black cloak.
Recalling how, not long ago, the little girl named Ran Mouri saw him naked, his murderous intent surged even more intensely.
It's not that he's keeping himself chaste for a girl who died two years ago, to the point that he'd kill any other girl who even glances at him.
Rather, it's because this could expose his murder plan.
Although it's unclear whether the little girl named Ran Mouri saw it clearly, this obstacle must be removed in order to avenge Dunzi.
Fortunately, although the plan has been fatally exposed, it is not irreparable and may even make the plan more perfect.
If it were just Chikako Ikeda who died, suspicion might be placed on those who knew her.
But if even Ran Mouri, who had nothing to do with them, died at the hands of the bandaged monster, they would only be suspected of being a target randomly chosen by a psychopathic killer.
"Dunzi, I am a righteous messenger who killed for you. Everything I did was to prevent you from dying unjustly. It must be your blessing that made my plan more perfect, right?"
A gust of cold wind blew by, interrupting Takahashi Ryoichi's self-indulgent reverie.
"Why haven't they come out yet...?"
Ryoichi Takahashi sneezed, and even with the raincoat protecting him and his burning passion, he still shivered from the cold rain.
Based on Takahashi Ryoichi's understanding of his old classmate Ota Masaru, he should have definitely targeted that Mouri Ran. Could it be that the high school student couldn't handle the shamelessness of adults, so his old classmate failed?
No, no, no, you must trust your old classmate's character and methods. Dealing with a naive young girl who is still in the ivory tower of academia is a piece of cake for him.
This girl must be too shy; my old classmate needs a little more time.
Unfortunately, despite the aroma of food wafting from below, the target he wanted to kill and Hiroki Kakutani returned from the woods one after the other, and the target he wanted to silence never stepped out of the villa.
So, he could only return to the attic in frustration.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten all the unpleasantness from before, and they enjoyed dinner together in a harmonious atmosphere, except for one man who had been frozen for a while on a cold, stormy night, shortly after Valentine's Day.
His nose was blocked from the cold, and he sneezed several times. Coupled with his bad mood, he suddenly lost his appetite for what was supposed to be a delicious dinner.
But it doesn't matter. Although it's not as easy as killing someone in the woods to cover it up, and cleaning up the scene isn't that simple either, he still has a Plan B.
Thinking of avenging his goddess who died with resentment, a sinister smile appeared on Takahashi Ryo's genuinely chubby face, half of which was hidden in the shadows.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Meanwhile, Ryoichi Takahashi, the prospective suspect who was planning the perfect crime, began to get busy.
First, Ryoichi Takahashi cut the only landline telephone line connecting the villa to the outside world.
He then changed back into the bandaged monster skin, pushed open the door, and went to the suspension bridge outside. His face, wrapped in bandages, showed no expression, but his eyes were full of obvious excitement.
He lifted the heavy axe and swiftly cut the ropes binding the suspension bridge to the wooden stakes. With a loud crash, the suspension bridge was suspended on the other side of the ravine.
The bandaged man nodded in satisfaction. Now everyone would have no choice but to stay in the villa, and the murder and cover-up plan could be carried out smoothly.
Back in the room on the second floor, as expected, I saw light coming from under the door.
He slipped a pre-prepared letter under the door, knocked, and turned to leave without a trace.
The bandaged man was very confident that Chikako Ikeda would follow his plan.
A threatening letter that reads, "You don't want others to know that you plagiarized Dunzi, do you? Hurry up and come to the grove behind the villa," is quite damaging to this despicable person.
The bandaged man followed Chikako Ikeda, who was wrapped up tightly, and arrived at the cemetery he had chosen for her. After reaching the destination in Chikako's eyes, he chopped off her slender neck with an axe without saying a word.
Then, with a few blows, Chikako Ikeda was dismembered into eight pieces.
Besides venting his anger, this also relates to his perfect murder plan.
With the primary murder target dealt with, the next target for elimination is now in sight.
However, what Takahashi Ryoichi didn't know was that a pair of pure white eyes were always watching his every move, and he had no secrets at all.
……
Akutagawa Hiko put away his Byakugan and couldn't help but sigh that there was a reason why the Byakugan was called one of the three great dojutsu. At least in terms of detection and insight, it had an advantage over the Sharingan or even the Rinnegan, which were obviously more sophisticated.
Unlike Chikako Ikeda, she was troubled by Atsuko's presence in the evening and couldn't sleep until midnight.
Akutagawa Hiko knew that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, so he had no intention of sleeping at all.
He had just performed a set of gentle punches, so he was using his white eyes to coordinate.
Unexpectedly, they stumbled upon the murder scene of this killer who kept talking about avenging Dunzi and upholding justice, but who had implicated an innocent high school girl.
Moreover, it seems he hasn't given up on his plan to kill Ran Mouri to silence her.
Why bother? This is forcing him to take action.
Given Ran Mouri's fighting prowess, she should be worried about the killer.
However, for the rather timid Ran Mouri, when facing the terrifying bandaged monster, although her stats remain, her mobility will almost drop to zero, and her combat strength will decrease to the point where she is not as good as Conan without any equipment.
Therefore, as long as the bandaged monster doesn't attack Conan, Ran's situation is quite dangerous.
Akutagawa Hiko watched Ran grow up.
From elementary school students calling her "Sister Xiaolan" to college graduates calling her "Little Sister Xiaolan," how can you not say you've watched her grow up...?
Without using his Byakugan again, Akutagawa Hiko opened his senses and carefully ensured that he could save the person as soon as possible from a peculiar perspective.
The bandaged man climbed onto the balcony of Xiaolan's room and pushed the window, but it wouldn't open. However, this didn't stump the bandaged man who was prepared.
He took out a tool, made a circular hole in the glass, reached in and gently flicked it, and the latch instantly became ineffective...
