Conan’s World Stand-in

"The drawbridge was cut..."

When they came outside the villa, Guan Dounan and Conan found this suspension bridge that was not destroyed but looked strange at a glance. At this time, the suspension bridge had been cut off by someone who didn’t know how to fix it, and it was slumped on the opposite rock wall.

"This trace should also have been cut by an axe... Was it before or after I was attacked?" Conan looked at the trace on the wooden stake and determined that it belonged to the same person as the trace of the axe at the door of the room in the villa... or the same person. I know what the thing is doing, but it's just that the time is temporarily unable to judge the order.

"...You were attacked at 2:32 in the afternoon. The suspension bridge was destroyed by the God of Destruction at 2:28. You should have destroyed the suspension bridge before entering the villa." Guan Dounan summoned Xiao Hei and confirmed After the time, Xiao Hei's ability can only be activated once for the same thing, but this time Guan Dounan asked about the [time when the suspension bridge was destroyed], which is two different things from the bandage monster.

In theory, he could use this method to unleash Xiao Hei's ability to recreate various details of the case, even including what someone ate in the morning. But this is undoubtedly very troublesome. An ordinary case may require hundreds of thousands of abilities to piece together the details, so as long as it is not a completely unsolvable situation, he does not want to do it to this extent.

"That bandage weirdo, what's the situation, you should be able to tell?"

"It's really a convenient ability... The thing about the bandaged weirdo is basically the same as what Xiao Lan said. Instead, I made some fakes to make those people temporarily increase their vigilance." Conan glanced at Guan Dounan, "It is indeed abrupt. The ground appeared without any warning before. The sound of footsteps, breathing, clothes rubbing, none of them, from this point of view, it is very similar to a stand-in."

"But on the other hand, Xiaolan can see the bandage monster and attack it. It's not like a substitute, at least not like an ordinary substitute... Senior Guan, even if you want ordinary people to see your substitute , it shouldn't be possible, right?"

"Well, from the perspective of performance in this regard, it is too different from the general stand-in. And at 2:28, Takahashi and I were still on the roof of the building, and the distance from there to here is too far... Guan Dounan turned his head to look in the direction of the villa, but was blocked by the woods and couldn't see the panorama. It would be the same if he looked from the opposite side.

"Takahashi? You suspect it's him..."

"Well, in terms of motives alone, he is the most capable of killing people among all the people present." Guan Dounan told Conan about the grievances and grievances between Takahashi, Atsuko, and Chikako. "However, if the bandage monster is his stand-in, or is manipulated by him, there is absolutely no need to attack you."

"That's right, he doesn't know me at all, and attacking me is completely meaningless. Ikeda Chikako was in his room just now, and he was on the roof again. If you attack at this time, you have a perfect alibi, why bother." Conan pushed Spectacles, "Unless, think of him as someone who is extremely scheming and is on the third floor."

"the third floor?"

"The third layer of thinking logic. For example, the first layer of logic is 'the bandaged monster launched an attack in the villa, and Takahashi is on the roof, so he does not have the conditions for committing the crime, and there is no suspicion'." Conan stretched out the first One finger, and then a second one, "But if he learns about the existence of a 'substitute messenger', then Takahashi has the ability to transcend time and space to commit crimes, and he is suspect again."

"Extending to the third floor, Takahashi knew that we also knew about the 'substitute messenger', so he took the plan and deliberately did things that were not in his best interests, such as attacking the wrong person, which would make us suspect him. If it is not a substitute messenger, or at least not the prisoner this time, he is no longer suspected. But if you push it down like this, there will be no end, so it is generally only deduced three times."

"Wait first, I'm a little dizzy..." Guan Dounan waved his hand, stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead, and managed to sort out which layers of the mess, "So, you're still doubting him?"

"In terms of motivation alone, he is the most likely. Of course, other possibilities are not ruled out, such as Suzuki Ayako, Ikeda Chiyako, or even a new stand-in messenger that we haven't seen. It's not impossible. There are also Possibly, Takahashi has been replaced by someone else or something, will that Belmode have the same ability soon?" Conan spread his hands and suddenly looked up at the sky. "Ah, it's raining."

"When it rains, I always feel like a case will happen..." Guan Dounan also raised his head and looked at the sky as gloomy as lead gray.

Was replaced by someone else? It sounds a bit like talking about himself...

"Let's go back first, even if we are stand-ins, we will probably catch a cold if we get caught in the rain." Conan lifted his jacket, wrapped his head, and ran to the villa.

"Well..." Guan Dounan also stretched out his hand to block the oncoming person, making Yusi, who couldn't keep his eyes open, step forward.

! !

A strong sense of palpitations suddenly emerged from Guan Dounan's heart, almost a subconscious reaction. He rolled his head with both hands on the ground, and at the same time summoned Xiao Hei and "performed" a note from Gao Chengyan Er to the position behind him. punch.

"boom!"

The dull voice sounded, and Guan Dounan's shoulder instantly felt a severe pain, which paralyzed his mind for a moment, and then instantly woke up, and concentrated on looking at his original position.

The shabby cloak, the old bandages, the axe that seems to be rusted but still heavy, and the axe that is enough to kill a person in one blow, and a pair of eyes that still reveal a fierce light even though they are wrapped in the bandages. This is the Bandage Freak, the Bandage Freak who has left childhood shadows on countless children.

Xiao Hei's fist hit the bandaged monster squarely, denting its torso wrapped in the cloak and bandages~www.wuxiahere.com~ But Guan Dounan vaguely felt that the punch didn't cause any damage, but instead It was the same as Xiaolan's description, like hitting a ball of air.

On the contrary, because he couldn't see what was going on, Xiao Hei couldn't dodge the attack of the bandage monster in time. Even though he tried his best to dodge, he was still rubbed by his axe on his shoulder, which caused Guan Dounan to suffer under the effect of damage transmission. Same injury.

My attack doesn't work, but it can hurt me? what monster is this...

Although he was frightened in his heart, Guan Dounan did not wait to die. He forcibly held back the pain and controlled Xiao Hei to hold the axe in his hand, while the other hand continued to attack the bandage monster.

However, as soon as the second punch landed on the Bandaged Freak's body, it disappeared entirely. It's not the kind of gradual disappearance, nor is it distorted and miniaturized into a point-like disappearance, but the kind of picture that seems to have been taken out of a key frame and disappeared without warning.

Together with the axe in the hands of the bandaged monster that should have been held by Xiao Hei, it also disappeared at this time. Only the vague pain in his shoulder still proves that what happened just now is not an illusion, but what really happened.

"What is this…"
