"Can you really sleep soundly without catching that bandaged freak?”
"What do you mean?" asked Collatz with a frown.”
"What I mean is that as long as we catch that strange man in bandages, we can have a good sleep." Xue Chenying said indifferently. I don't want to be attacked while I'm sleeping and die without knowing why.”
"But it just rained outside, and it's so dark. The bandage man is hiding in the woods, and there's no way to find him.”
"Who told you the bandaged man was hiding in the woods?”
Before Xue Chenying could finish her sentence, Gao Qiao's expression changed, and his eyes flickered intensely.
"You mean the bandaged man is hiding in the villa?" Ota Sheng was shocked.”
Everyone could not help but feel a chill down their spines.
Xue Chenying nodded." That's right. He's hiding in the villa, and he's among us!"”
"Hey, hey, what are you talking about? Don't forget, when that strange man with bandages attacked Zhi Jiazi, all of us were in the living room preparing to eat.”
"That's right. The strange man with bandages must be an outsider.”
Xue Chenying nodded." We were indeed in the living room, but one of us wasn't there. He was on the second floor."”
Everyone looked at the person that Xue Chenying was talking about, Takahashi Ryoichi.
"Are you saying that I'm the murderer? Don't joke around. Although I'm on the second floor, I don't know how to transform. I can't instantly transform into a bandaged freak and kidnap Zhi Jiako, right?”
Everyone agreed.
"What if the so-called bandage monster we saw at that time was just a mannequin? As long as he used the mannequin and the piano wire, he could create such an illusion.”
"Dummies?"
"That's right. Fasten Zhijiako's body to the dummy, then tie two piano wires to the dummy's head. One of the two piano wires flew past the handrail of the central balcony. Then, he tied both ends of the piano wire to the armrest directly above the window and cut the piano wire that passed through the armrest. After it passed through the window, he only needed to put away the bandaged family and the body. At that time, all of us thought that the bandaged man had fled into the forest with Zhi Jiazi's corpse, but we didn't know that it was actually right above our heads.”
Everyone looked at Takahashi Ryoichi in disbelief and involuntarily distanced themselves from him.
"Don't joke around, Xue Chensang," Ryoichi Takahashi said with a wronged expression.”
Xue Chenying looked at him and said," As for the evidence, it's the traces of the two piano wires on the balcony handrail. They're very fresh and very clear." You were in charge of big props when you were in the university film club. Only you could make such a big project while repairing the roof.”
Ryoichi Takahashi's forehead was covered in sweat. He smiled unnaturally and said,""Stop joking. Fine, let's say I did it. Then tell me, how did I deal with the corpse? Don't forget, I went out with everyone to chase after the bandaged man. Then, he found Zhi Jiazi's body in the forest. Before that, I didn't even touch her corpse, huh?”
Ota Masaru and the others recalled the scene, but it was just as Takahashi Ryoichi had said.
"Xue Chensang, it's impossible for Gao Qiao to transport such a huge corpse out without a sound, right?”
"A real corpse is impossible. What if it's just a head? " In fact, when we saw the strange bandaged man taking away Zhi Jiazi, she was already dead. What we saw was actually her head.”
Takahashi's face was filled with shock.
"Takahashi, you're not really fat, are you?”Xue Chenying asked with a faint smile.
Ryoichi Takahashi looked at Xue Chenying in shock.
" I'm guessing that you used cotton to fake an obese body to give us an illusion. In the forest, you killed Zhi Jiazi and then dismembered her body to cover up the crime. After that, you stuffed the head into the cotton-filled abdomen and brought it back. After showing us the scene where the bandaged man kidnapped Zhi Jiazi, you stuffed the deflated bandaged man and Zhi Jiazi's head into the abdomen and brought them out of the villa. After entering the forest, you took out Zhi Jiazi's head without anyone noticing. To be honest, your method is quite brilliant.”
" I remember now!" Mao Lilan exclaimed." I didn't know which room was mine when I first arrived, so I accidentally barged into your rooms. After that, I had a feeling that something was wrong. Now I finally remember. I saw your figure when you were changing your clothes. You're not that fat at all!”
Ryoichi Takahashi's expression was ferocious as his body trembled slightly.
"As for your motive for killing, I guess it has something to do with that member of the film club called Dunzi, right?" Xue Chenying said.”
Ryoichi Takahashi shouted angrily,""That's right, all of this is for Dun Zi's revenge!”
Next, he told the truth of Atsuko's suicide because Ikeda Chikako had plagiarized her work!
"Could it be that Zhi Jiazi plagiarized the Green Kingdom from Dun Zi?”Ota Shing exclaimed.
"That's right. I watched that movie before and realized that the content was exactly the same as the sky-colored kingdom that Dun Zi showed me back then! With this plagiarized work, Zhi Jiazi won the Newcomer's Script Award and became the famous playwrights of today!”
Takahashi Ryoichi was so emotional that he could not control himself. Tears flowed uncontrollably. One could see his deep love for Atsuko and his hatred for Chikako.
"My wish has been fulfilled after avenging Dun Zi. Dunzi, I'll go accompany you now!" He suddenly took out a knife from his abdomen and gestured to commit suicide.
Ota Sheng and the others hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"Don't stop him. Let him die.”
"Sakura, what nonsense are you spouting!" Yuan Zi immediately cried out in alarm.
Xue Chenying sneered." Actually, Takahashi, you're very afraid of death, right? If you really wanted to die, you wouldn't have needed such a delicate plan. You just needed to find an opportunity to kill Zhijiako after you came and then commit suicide." Isn't the reason why you designed such an exquisite plan so that you wouldn't be found out as the murderer and be punished by the law? Perhaps your heart to avenge Dun Zi is true, but suicide for love? Don't be ridiculous."
Clang! The dagger in Takahashi Ryoichi's hand fell to the ground. He knelt on the ground dejectedly and cried.
Yuan Zi looked at Xue Chenying with stars in her eyes. Her man was too handsome.
Conan was extremely shocked at this time. When did Xue Chen have such powerful reasoning skills?
The few of them tied Gao Qiao up with ropes and then returned to their rooms to rest. Without the threat of the bandaged man, everyone slept soundly.
The next day, the police arrived and took Takahashi Ryoichi away after making a statement.
Masaru Ota and Hiroki Collatz left as well.
The class reunion ended with death, sorrow, blood, and a heavy atmosphere.
Friendship was a heavy topic.
Some people valued friendship very much, such as Dun Zi. As a result, they were betrayed and disheartened, and ended their lives.
However, Xue Chenying's evaluation of Dun Zi was that he was talented but psychologically fragile.
