Chapter 107 Who is the bandage monster?
"It must have been done by the bandage monster, there's no doubt about it!" Takahashi said with horror on his face.
"No one else would do this except him!"
"Are you done yet?!" Ikeda Chikako said with a cold face, "Where did this bandage weirdo come from? This is nonsense!"
"No, this is not nonsense." Ota said in a low voice with cold sweat on his face: "If there really is a bandage monster, I saw it once when I first arrived."
"We saw it too," Xiaolan said.
"Me too." Kakutani said solemnly, "At that time, I thought he was someone who lived nearby."
"That's impossible!" Suzuki Ayako was worried. "There are a few villas in this area. We have to climb over the valley to find a place where people live."
Even at this point, there was still no panic on Ze Yu's face. Just like Suzuki Ayako often squinted her eyes, Ze Yu also often maintained a proper smile: "Maybe someone is playing a prank on me?"
Yuanzi was a little frightened and said in astonishment: "Impossible? A prank of this magnitude..."
"It's very likely." Ze Yu replied: "The bandaged man destroyed our way out of here. I guess he also destroyed the telephone lines in the villa. Everyone is trapped in the villa. He wants to play a trapped beast fight."
"Next, someone might die in this prank."
When everyone heard this, they felt a chill.
"I'll go take a look!" Suzuki Ayako ran into the villa, and the others quickly followed.
Sure enough, as soon as everyone walked into the room, they saw Suzuki Ayako holding the phone in her hand, and her face was a little pale.
"No, I can't get through..."
Except for Ze Yu, everyone was panicking.
"Calm down!" Ikeda Chikako's eyes were a little unhappy, and she snorted, "Isn't it just that the suspension bridge is broken and the phone can't be reached? These are just some small things, are they worth your panic?"
"That bandaged weirdo must be trying to scare us. You're so scared that you're playing into his hands!"
"Speaking of fear..." Ota shifted his gaze to Ze Yu and said with some doubt: "All of us were scared, but you were the only one who was so calm and even smiled..."
"That bandaged weirdo, isn't that you?"
Hearing this, Takahashi and Kadoya looked at Sawaha with distrustful looks.
In human existence, once the trust between each other is broken, it will become bigger and bigger and almost irreparable.
"Mr. Ota, are you angry about what happened before, so you're taking this opportunity to throw mud at me?" Ze Yu's eyes turned cold. "No matter what, I'll be very angry if you talk nonsense without evidence."
"Brother Ota." Sonoko stood up, laughed dryly, and tried to smooth things over: "This must be a misunderstanding. Mr. Yu is Xiaolan and I's companion. He would never do this."
"Speaking of companions..." Ota said coldly without giving any face: "We in the film club are also companions. Could it be that one of us did it?"
"Yes, you are very self-aware." Ze Yu nodded, his face returned to normal, and agreed: "The true identity of the bandaged man is among us, but he is not me, nor Xiaolan, Conan and Sonoko, nor Miss Suzuki Ayako, but one of the four of you."
Ota said coldly: "Why can't the bandaged man be one of you? Are you so sure that he must be among the four of us?"
"How stupid." Ze Yu shook his head: "Have you forgotten? Xiaolan and I were the last to arrive, and before we arrived, you had already encountered the bandaged monster, so the bandaged monster definitely cannot be one of us."
"As for Ms. Ayako and Sonoko, as women, they cannot destroy this suspension bridge quickly."
Hearing this, Conan suddenly wanted to complain.
Xiaolan is a woman, but he thinks that Xiaolan should be able to destroy the suspension bridge easily.
Of course, Conan also knew that Xiaolan could not be the bandaged monster, because he and Xiaolan had seen the bandaged monster together, and Zeyu was also present at the time.
"If that's the case, it's really possible." Kadoya thought seriously, "Among the four of us, excluding Chikako and myself, the only one left is..." When he said this, his eyes turned towards Ota and Takahashi with some distrust.
"Kakutani, you idiot!" Ohta yelled, "How can you believe what this guy says? He might be lying to us!"
Ze Yu glanced at Ota indifferently.
Ota was stunned for a moment.
He seemed to see a flash of lightning and amber eyes hidden in the lightning...
Unconsciously, his pupils contracted, sweat seeped out, and his back was soaked.
"Alright." Ikeda Chikako suddenly spoke up, interrupting their argument: "There's no point in discussing the matter of the bandaged man. I'm going back to my room to rest. As long as we're careful, it'll be fine."
After saying that, she went back to her room, and everyone else left, leaving only Ayako, Sonoko, Xiaolan and Conan left in the hall.
"Really, today's class reunion is such a letdown..." Suzuki Ayako sighed helplessly.
"It's all because of you, sister. You accidentally brought up that matter." Yuanzi said helplessly.
"That thing?" Conan, who was standing aside and eavesdropping on the adults' conversation, asked, "Are you referring to the matter of 'Atsuko'?"
"It's the one who died two years ago..."
"Conan!" Xiaolan interrupted Conan and scolded him unhappily: "How can you say such rude words?"
Ayako lowered her head, sighed and said, "It doesn't matter..."
“Two years ago…”
…………
The hands on the clock moved slowly.
Time passed, the moon set, the sun rose, and day broke.
the next day.
After everyone got up, they gathered together, but the only one missing was Chikako Ikeda.
Ota thought she was still asleep, so he knocked on the door and asked her to get up, but...
"what!"
A scream was heard, and the faces of the people downstairs changed instantly. They hurried up to the second floor and came to Ikeda Chikako's room.
I saw Chikako Ikeda lying quietly on the ground, her eyes full of horror, and she had stopped breathing long ago.
The murder weapon was a fruit knife stuck in her neck.
"Chikako!"
"Call the police quickly! And, an ambulance!"
"It's no use. Our phone lines have been cut. Besides, she's beyond saving!"
Just as everyone in the room was discussing the matter with fear and panic on their faces, Ze Yu looked at Takahashi thoughtfully.
He remembered that in the original novel, Chikako Ikeda did not die like this, and the time of her death was also wrong.
Should it be said that it was because of the appearance of a troublemaker like me that Takahashi's plan underwent some changes?
