Stay away from Conan

Chapter 348 Chikako’s room

After listening to Xiaolan, Yuanzi and the others' stories, Gao Yuan finally understood roughly what happened in the hall at that time——

At that time, there was indeed a "bandage weirdo" who appeared in the hall!

And that person should have used the darkness after the trip to sneak into the villa hall at some point, and then took away the sleeping Xiao Ai...

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan looked at the lights in the villa that were still on at this moment, and couldn't help but think deeply——

Speaking of which, since just now, after I pulled the switch again, the switch has not tripped again. So what was the reason for the previous two trips?

Especially when the circuit breaker tripped for the second time, I had just confirmed the condition of the circuit breaker and no mechanism had been installed.

Or is it really just an unknown problem with the villa's circuit that occasionally trips?

In response, Gao Yuan shook his head and did not continue to choose to stay here at the electric gate. Instead, he came to the kitchen and saw that Suzuki Ayako had put the tableware used for dinner in the sink for soaking and cleaning. He couldn't help but Feeling a little helpless.

"What did you think of, Mr. Akechi?"

Xiaolan, who followed them to the kitchen, couldn't help but asked curiously:

"Is there anything wrong in the kitchen?"

"No, it's nothing."

Gao Yuan replied, and then walked towards the hall without staying in the kitchen - according to Xiao Ai, she fell asleep for some reason after the circuit breaker tripped. Judging from this, it is very likely that sleeping drugs were added to the food she ate at that time.

Therefore, when Gao Yuan came to the kitchen, he originally wanted to look for the tableware Xiao Ai used at that time to confirm this conjecture.

But now, Suzuki Ayako has soaked and cleaned all the tableware. Even if drug residues can be detected in the sink, it is difficult to find out where the drugs were first dropped, so there is no need to check.

So, Gao Yuan walked out of the kitchen, came to the hall, walked up the stairs, and began to check the broken floor-to-ceiling window——

"Mr. Akechi? There's no need to continue the investigation now, right? Go to bed early and wait until the police come tomorrow. After all, hasn't the prisoner fallen off the cliff?"

Sonoko, who was following Gao Yuan, felt sleepy and yawned.

"Or, does Mr. Akechi think there is any problem?"

Xiaolan couldn't help but ask.

"There are just some things I can't figure out."

Gao Yuan explained, "The 'bandage weirdo' broke the window from the outside and sneaked into the villa, so why did he choose to break the window on the second floor? It is obviously easier to come in directly from the first floor, right?"

In this regard, Xiaolan on the side couldn't help but fell into thinking, while Yuanzi said nonchalantly:

"What's the matter? The 'bandage weirdo' must have sneaked into the second floor first, took away Chikako who was resting alone in the room, then walked here from the balcony, broke the glass here, and sneaked into the hall..."

"He can enter Miss Chikako's room directly, so why would he break the window here to get in? He can just push the door out of Miss Chikako's room!"

After hearing Sonoko's explanation, Conan, who was following the action, couldn't help but retort.

In response, Sonoko lowered her head and rolled her eyes at Conan, but she seemed to be in no mood to argue with Conan because she was really sleepy.

"Is the balcony of Chikako's room connected to this place?"

Gao Yuan asked unexpectedly at this time, and then immediately walked to another intact floor-to-ceiling window, unlocked the floor-to-ceiling window, pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window, and walked to the balcony outside the window -

This is the second-floor balcony located on the side of the main entrance of the villa. The entire length of the balcony extends from the outer wall on one side of the villa to the outer wall on the other side. There is no partition in the middle. It is a long balcony corridor.

Several floor-to-ceiling windows above the villa hall are located on one side of the balcony, while on the other side are the floor-to-ceiling windows of the three bedrooms——

"Ah, Conan and I's room is the one on the outside!"

After walking out of the balcony together, Xiaolan took a general look, pointed to the outermost floor-to-ceiling window at the other end of the balcony and said.

"Chikako's room is the one next to Xiaolan's."

Yuanzi couldn't help but explain.

"It turns out that the structure of the balcony of the house I live in is different."

Looking at the fully interconnected balconies on this side of the villa, Gao Yuan couldn't help but say.

"Yes, the balconies of the rooms on the other side of the villa are independent of each other."

Sonoko said.

So, Takato walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the room where Chikako Ikeda lived, reached out and tried to push the floor-to-ceiling window, and found that the floor-to-ceiling window could be pushed open directly——

"What! Did Chikako not lock the windows when she was resting? No wonder that 'bandage weirdo' could just go in, take her away and kill her..."

Yuanzi said in shock.

However, Gao Yuan didn't care about this. Instead, he walked straight into Chikako's room through the open floor-to-ceiling window, came to the door, and turned on the light switch in the room. Suddenly, the dim room of Chikako Ikeda was illuminated by the light.

Standing in this room, Gao Yuan first looked around the situation in the room, and then began to carefully search for the items that Chikako Ikeda left in the room——

"Mr. Akechi? This is not good..."

Seeing this, Xiaolan, who was still standing outside the floor-to-ceiling window, couldn't help but say, and after seeing Gao Yuan's behavior, Conan walked into the room, squatted down, and began to carefully search for something on the floor.

Soon, Takato found Chikako Ikeda's suitcase from the cabinet in the room, while Conan didn't seem to find anything on the floor, but his expression could not help but become solemn.

After taking the suitcase out of the cabinet and placing it on the ground, Gao Yuan tried to open it.

In this regard, Xiao Ai, who had been following Gao Yuan since returning to the villa, who had been silent at first, saw Gao Yuan preparing to go through the lady's suitcase, so he couldn't help but walked into the room, came to Gao Yuan's side, squatted down, and started to help. After checking the women's belongings in the suitcase, Conan couldn't help but gathered around and looked at the items in the suitcase together——

Cosmetics, a change of clothes, women's underwear, etc. are all items that women often carry when going out, and nothing strange was found.

Xiao Ai took out the items in the suitcase one by one and looked at them. Finally, at the bottom of the suitcase, she found a stack of manuscript papers held up with clips. On the top piece of paper, there are a few large characters printed - "Screenbook of the Masked Monster Murder Case".

"Is this Miss Chikako's new script?"

Seeing this, Conan couldn't help but say.

"probably."

Gao Yuan replied, and smoothly took out the stack of manuscript papers, and then asked Xiao Ai to put the rest of the items back into the suitcase. He planned to leave here with the folded manuscript papers.

"Mr. Akechi, did you really see that 'bandage weirdo' fall off the cliff?"

At this time, Conan couldn't help raising his doubts and confirmed to Gao Yuan.

"What did you find?"

Hearing Conan ask this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but blinked, squatted down, and asked in a low voice.

Xiao Ai, who had rearranged her suitcase, was about to close it when she suddenly glanced and seemed to see something under the bed...
