Chapter 49 Ni Duan
"But this is the second floor! How did he get in the bandage monster? How did he escape?" Oda Katsu walked to the balcony and patrolled around, his tone full of confusion.
"I think..." Hiroki Kakutani walked behind Oda Katsura and pointed to a big tree outside the balcony. "He must have climbed up the tree first, and then jumped from the trunk to the balcony!"
"When you escape, you must have used the same method."
Oda Katsuki glanced at the big tree and compared the distance between it and the balcony, which agreed with Hiroki Kakutani's point of view.
"You can jump so far. This bastard is really amazing!"
Listening to the two of them having a decent analysis, Xia Ri shook his head. Their guess seemed to be reasonable to explain how the bandage monster entered and exited the villa, but they ignored the most important clue!
That is, there was no trace of bandage monster on the floor of the room!
Not to mention the mud and grass clippings in the forest, even the rain water stains are pitiful! There is only one reason for this situation!
The bandage monster did not break into the villa from the forest, but he... was in this villa at all!
Who will it be?
Xia Ri frowned and glanced back and forth at Oda Katsuki and others.
This is the second time Xiaolan has been attacked. The first time may be just a coincidence, but the second time is definitely the bandage monster who has been planning for a long time. His target is Xiaolan!
After all, compared with Xiaolan, isn’t Conan a better target for attack in this room as a child? But the bandage monster is far away and insists on attacking Xiaolan, which already shows the problem.
Starting from Xiaolan, then Ikeda Tomokako, now Xiaolan is again. Is it just a girl who is the target of the bandage monster?
Xia Ri touched her chin, squinted her eyes, and carefully observed the every move of Oda Katsu and the other two.
Although Katsura Ota and Hiroki Kakutani were not able to see their expressions clearly because they were standing on the balcony, their movements were natural and their expressions were sincere. They were indeed the expressions that they should have shown after hearing their companions being attacked again!
But this Takahashi Ryoichi...
His room was not the farthest from Xiaolan, but after hearing the shouts of Conan and Xiaolan, it was a long time later that the last one arrived!
Perhaps it can be explained that he slept too hard and didn't hear any sounds, but judging from the shallow sweat stains flowing out of his sideburns, it definitely means that he must not be sleeping before entering this room!
And he is too steady now.
After hearing that a person was attacked, even if he was not like Katsura Oda and Hiroki Jianghu, he would look for traces of bandage monsters on the balcony, at least he would surround Koran like Yuanzi and Ayako Suzuki to ask about his well-being.
However, after Takahashi Ryo entered this room repeatedly, in addition to calming down his breathing, he only showed a little concern on his face.
Although he can also use his unfamiliar relationship with Xiaolan as an excuse, it seems to lack some persuasion.
In short, the current suspicion of Ryoichi Takahashi is undoubtedly the biggest, but his size seems to be far from the bandage monster.
Xia Ri's suspicious eyes turned around Takahashi Ryoichi several times. After careful observation, he finally discovered two suspicious places.
Although Takahashi Ryoshi was breathing repeatedly, his chest did not fluctuate at all. No matter how fat he was, he would not be able to make his chest look like a corpse without any movement.
Another suspicious thing is that in summer, Ryoichi Takahashi's face is very disproportionate to his body. When he was learning to draw, he had painted many human bodies. According to his observation, Ryoichi Takahashi's body is definitely not as thin as his face!
This feeling...it's like Takahashi Ryoichi is not a real fat man, but disguises himself as a fat man by disguising himself!
The purpose of doing this is obviously self-evident, it is definitely to facilitate him to remove the suspicion of being a bandage monster after he kills!
After all, no one can associate a well-proportioned bandage monster with a fat man.
But unfortunately, these speculations of Xia Ri are just guesses. To confirm that Takahashi Ryoichi is a bandage monster, he still needs real evidence.
At this time, Oda Katsushima and Kakutani Hiroki returned to Xiaolan's room. Obviously, after searching for a while, they also discovered nothing.
"It's no longer safe here!" Kakutani Hiroki sighed and looked at the time on his watch. "Now there are only four hours left before dawn. We sleep separately and it's easy to be attacked by bandage monsters again."
"I think, why don't we all go to the restaurant to spend the night. If we get together, we don't have to carry bandage monsters!"
Judging from the current situation, Hiroki Kakutani's proposal is undoubtedly the best way. Everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Xia Ri also thought this method was feasible. He looked at the pajamas on everyone and said, "Then let's go back to our room first, clean up, change into casual clothes, and then go to the restaurant to meet up."
No one objected to this. After they left Xiaolan's room, they all returned to their own room.
When only Xia Ri was left in the room, Xiaolan and Conan were the three of them, Xia Ri came to Conan with a smile.
"How is it? Does your feet still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore!" Conan shook his head and said in a crisp voice, "Sister Xiaolan has helped me rub it for a long time and it's completely cured."
"Is that?" Xia Ri touched Conan's hair, "Thanks to you just now, thanks to you, fortunately you screamed, which scared the bandage monster away!"
"It's nothing." Conan smiled naively.
Turning his head to see Xiaolan doing other things, Xia Ri put his head close to Conan and whispered: "Conan, since you are so brave, would you do Brother Xia Ri a favor?"
"help?"
Conan was stunned and heard Xia Ri lower his voice. He knew that Xia Ri didn't want Xiaolan to hear their conversation, so after looking at Xiaolan, he also lowered his voice.
"Okay, Brother Xia Ri, what do you need to help?"
"What a good boy!" Xia Ri smiled and praised Conan's wit in his heart. Although Conan's impression of naughty kids is unchangeable in Xia Ri's heart, some of Conan's good places are still recognized by Xia Ri.
"After arriving at the restaurant, can you secretly monitor Brother Takahashi's actions for me? Of course, you have to monitor them secretly!"
Monitor Takahashi Ryoichi!??
Conan looked at Xia Ri in surprise, feeling shocked. Did Xia Ri suspect Takahashi Ryoichi? Did he have any clues?
