Conan’s World Stand-in

"We'll come down immediately, you guys don't move there yet. Mr. Takahashi, let's go down."

After greeting Xiaolan Conan, Guan Dounan patted Takahashi who was still lying beside him, and asked him to go down with him. When Guan Dounan's palm fell on Takahashi's shoulder, he could clearly feel that it was not like a real fat man, and he could even feel the bones under Takahashi's clothes.

This guy is so skinny...

"Ah? Well, it just so happens that the roof has been repaired..."

Takahashi seemed to have woken up from a dream. He nodded in a panic, and sorted out the tools for repairing the roof next to him. He and Guan Dounan climbed down the roof one after the other.

When Guan Dounan climbed down the roof, he deliberately summoned Xiao Hei and made it appear in front of Takahashi, making the classic action of reaching out and strangling his neck. But Takahashi didn't seem to see Xiao Hei, his steps didn't stop at all, and he didn't seem to be frightened by the sudden appearance of Xiao Hei.

Is he not a stand-in messenger? Although he has awakened the substitute, but he can't see it? Or is he just acting, in fact, I have long expected that I will test him...

Guan Dounan's mind flashed a variety of guesses, but he couldn't come to a conclusion at this time. He followed behind Gaoqiao, carefully lowered the roof, turned to the front of the villa, and re-entered the room.

When the two came to Xiaolan's room, other people in the villa also gathered here, blocking the originally not very spacious corridor.

"So, what happened just now?" Guan Dounan asked Xiaolan and Conan.

"I was going to take a nap in my room just now, but suddenly I felt a little thirsty, so I went out to find something to drink, and it happened that Conan also came out to find water to drink..." At this time, Xiaolan was hugged by Yuanzi's arm, sitting cross-legged on the ground, With a coat covering her knees, she did not look like a female **** of war. She looked like a simple little girl who was afraid of ghosts, "We took the juice, and when we walked to the door of the room, we said goodbye to Conan, but Just as I opened the door, I subconsciously glanced in Conan's direction..."

"At this moment..." Xiao Lan's voice suddenly trembled, "At this moment, behind Conan, at some point, a man wearing a rag cloak suddenly appeared, with his arms and face exposed to see The old bandages were tightly tied, and the strange man with the axe was raising the axe in his hand to kill Conan..."

"I kicked subconsciously, and just hit the weird guy's arm with the axe, pushing him back, and then I kicked again, this time, to its torso... the theoretical torso."

Xiao Lan shrank her feet covered with her coat inward, as if she was afraid of being caught by someone, "However, after I kicked out this time, it was like I was kicking cotton... No, it was like I was kicking in cotton. On the air, there is nothing there, just a cloud of air wrapped in cloaks and bandages..."

"And, when I tried to see what was going on there, the bandaged monster disappeared...bandage, cloak, axe, nothing left, it must be a ghost..."

Xiaolan covered her ears and trembled. I didn't expect that this girl with super strong fighting power and usually strong performance was unexpectedly afraid of ghosts. But think about it, if it is a "ghost" that cannot be attacked by physical attacks in the traditional sense, and is more of a "ghost" that causes damage to the mind and spirit, no matter how strong karate is, it seems to have no effect...

"Let me tell you, are you dizzy or sleepy? How could there be such a thing as a ghost." Chikako Ikeda said impatiently, "Besides, since it's a ghost, why are you holding an axe? , are you going to attack this little guy?"

"Yeah, this little guy should be here for the first time, no matter what..."

"No, it's true." Conan was very calm at this time, he stretched his finger to the door frame next to him, "Look, there's a scratch here, or should I say a slash, the mark is very new, and it was in my room from It didn't exist when it came out."

"This trace is deep and wide. It should be caused by a heavy bladed weapon with a narrow front and a wide back, that is, an axe..."

The trace that Conan was referring to was indeed what he said, in line with the characteristics of an axe, and it also seemed to be a trace that had just been made.

"But, if you say there are ghosts or something just based on this..." Kakutani still seemed a little unconvinced.

"It doesn't have to be a ghost, you see, it's very close to the stairs, and Sister Xiaolan's attack was launched from the inside of the corridor. It is very likely that someone dressed up as a bandaged freak who wanted to sneak attack, but was attacked by Xiaolan. The elder sister found and subdued. The guy who found that the situation was not good took the opportunity to escape from the stairs, and Sister Xiaolan may not have noticed this for a while, so she mistakenly thought it was a ghost or something..." Conan interrupted Jiaoya's words and said A very reasonable inference.

"It's not like that. If it was a person and escaped from the stairs, I would definitely find out!" Xiao Lan did not agree with Conan's idea. Conan's reasoning. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

"In that case, we were all resting in the room on the second floor. Takahashi and Guan were on the roof, and we didn't know what happened in the hall on the first floor..." Ota Katsuhito ignored Xiaolan's argument and turned to Suzuki Ayako. Said, "Suzuki, is there any other family or residence nearby?"

"There should be none. In addition to this villa, there are only two or three villas about a kilometer away in this area, but there should be no one there today..." Suzuki Ayako tried her best to recall several nearby villas. But the people from those families have not been here for a long time. "By the way, I heard that there is a waterfall about two kilometers north of here, and there used to be a farmer's hut next to it..."

"A farmer? It might be reasonable to use an axe... I think we might as well look around the villa to see if there is anything suspicious. If not, we'll just pretend there's no such thing for the time being, until the evening. Let’s talk about it.” Ota Sheng put forward a suggestion that sounded good, and it also won the unanimous approval of everyone. So a few girls and Takahashi, who seemed to be incompetent, stayed in the hall, while Ota Sheng, Kakutani, and Guan Dounan checked around the villa to see if there were any suspicious characters or traces.

Naturally, this guy Conan volunteered to act with Guan Dounan, and this also provided them with the opportunity to talk freely and discuss metaphysics.
