Stay away from Conan

Chapter 337 Return to the villa

Slowing down his breathing, Gao Yuan looked a little serious. He shook the "star" in his hand. After looking at Conan, Gao Yuan put his hand on the handle of the iron door and pulled the heavy iron door open with force.

Then, Gao Yuan and Conan rushed in through the crack of the opened door. They stood on both sides of the door and began to patrol around and become alert.

The first thing I saw when I looked at it was that it was a room filled with various sundries. There were various brooms, shovels and other tools placed in categories by the wall, among other things.

Among them, more than one of the axes left by the bandage weirdo at the scene was seen here——

Seeing this, Gao Yuan and Conan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time they also had a lot of doubts.

Further, Gao Yuan came to the wall and carefully checked whether there was any possibility of hiding people under the tools piled on the wall. After making sure that there was no third person here, he followed Conan to the next room. In front of the door——

"Locked?"

When trying to turn the wooden door, Gao Yuan found that the door was locked, so Conan went out first and asked Amamiya Atsuko for the key. At the same time, the two people's expressions became more nervous, and they invariably raised their ears. Stick it on the door, wanting to hear if there is any movement inside first.

However, after the two of them listened for a while, neither heard any movement, so Gao Yuan asked Conan to retreat behind him first, while Gao Yuan clung to the wall next to the door and began to unlock——

The moment he opened the door, Gao Yuan opened the door as hard as he could, then he and Conan took a step back at the same time, looking seriously into the room where there was almost no light -

When they entered the gate just now, because Xiaolan, Yuanzi and others were still outside the house, they were worried that someone would rush out and threaten them, so Gao Yuan and Conan chose to rush in first.

Now, there is a room blocking the door. For their own safety, the two chose to retreat first after opening the door.

After realizing that there was no light behind the door, Conan turned on the flashlight function on his watch and gave Gao Yuan a look. The two began to approach the door, keeping Conan's posture very low. Use the flashlight of your watch to shine indoors.

Gao Yuan, on the other hand, was holding the "star" and leaning forward to protect Conan, always on guard.

Following the light of the flashlight, I looked inside the room and saw that there were many wine racks in the room. Most of the shelves were empty, but in some places, there were still a few bottles of wine.

In addition to these wine racks leaning against the wall, there were only a pile of sacks piled in the corner. There was nothing blocking the view. At the same time, there was no door that could lead to other rooms -

In this regard, Gao Yuan and Conan were completely relieved. After all, if they didn't even see anyone here, it was obvious that their previous guesses were wrong.

So, the two of them entered the room and carefully investigated the room. After confirming that there was no one hiding here, they went out and let Xiaolan and the others come in.

"How's it going? Did something happen?"

Somewhat worried, Yuanzi couldn't help but ask Gao Yuan.

"No, everything is fine."

Gao Yuan comforted him, "But it's better to grab your things quickly and leave. After all, it's strange that the door lock was broken."

Although I haven’t seen anyone here, judging from the fact that the door lock was broken with an axe, some things are still questionable - for example, has this warehouse been entered by outsiders as a temporary resting place? Place.

Combined with the bandage monster that inexplicably attacked Xiaolan and Sonoko in the woods, this possibility cannot be ruled out for the time being.

So Sonoko and Amamiya Atsuko walked into the room with the wine rack, grabbed a few bottles of red wine, and prepared to leave——

"By the way, does Mr. Mingzhi like to drink red wine? Do you want to get a few more bottles? Anyway, if I leave them here, my father and the others probably won't come to drink them."

Yuanzi looked at the few bottles of red wine left on the shelf, and couldn't help but smile and asked Gao Yuan.

Hearing this, Gao Yuan's expression changed slightly:

"Can you just take it?"

"certainly."

Yuanzi smiled generously and said, "Anyway, my father didn't buy the wine specifically. I don't know if it's genuine or not, and it shouldn't be worth much."

In response, Gao Yuan took the only bottle of "Lafite" red wine marked 59 years from the wine rack and couldn't help but sigh:

"In this case, I think this bottle of red wine should still be worth taking out and taking a look."

"Of course that's no problem."

Sonoko said.

So, after everyone got the wine, they locked the door inside and left the warehouse. As for the unlocked door, they could only leave it open for the time being.

Soon, everyone returned to the villa, and several people who had been walking in the woods before had already returned to the villa.

The sky was getting dark, and the rain outside started to fall harder.

…

"A man in a bandage?"

When Xiaolan and the others returned to the villa and told everyone about their encounter in the woods, everyone couldn't help being surprised. Even Suzuki Ayako, who was in the kitchen waiting for Amamiya Atsuko to bring red wine to cook, couldn't help but leave. He came out with a worried look on his face.

"Yes! He also attacked me and Xiaolan in the woods!"

Yuanzi couldn't help but said with fear.

"impossible……"

Ohta Masaru said in disbelief.

"Huh? Didn't you see it either? Weren't the three of you in the woods just now?"

Looking at Ohta Masaru, Ikeda Chikako and Kakutani Hiroki, Sonoko asked in confusion.

"I didn't see anything."

Chikako Ikeda replied.

"I was busy looking for Xiaolan who was frightened by lightning, and I was not in the mood to pay attention to anything else."

Ohta Masaru said this, but Conan rolled his eyes——

"You open and close your mouth just like 'Xiaolan', who allowed you to call me so affectionate!"

"I didn't see it either, you think so, Chikako?"

Hiroki Kakutani asked Chikako Ikeda for confirmation, but Chikako Ikeda retorted with some disgust:

"I didn't walk with you. You forced yourself to follow me. Besides, you didn't know where you went after that."

"Because it's raining heavily, I went back to get an umbrella!"

Kakutani Hiroki explained awkwardly.

"Hmph, maybe you ran back early because you were afraid of thunder."

After hearing what Kakutani Hiroki said, Chikako Ikeda said with a somewhat humiliating tone, which made Kakutani Hiroki feel a little angry——

"Chikako!"

"How is it? Did I say something wrong?"

Chikako Ikeda continued to respond.

"Okay! You two..."

Seeing that the two seemed to be quarreling, Suzuki Ayako couldn't help but stepped forward to persuade them.

Gao Yuan thought about it and couldn't help but ask everyone:

"By the way, it may not have been just now. After you came here today, have you seen a person with a bandage on his face anywhere?"

Hearing this, Takahashi Ryoichi's expression changed drastically, as if he remembered something, and said:

"You said that, I remembered it. I remember when I came to the villa, I met a strange man next to the suspension bridge. I didn't see his face clearly, but he was wearing a cloak and a hat, and he looked weird. …”

After hearing this description, Xiaolan and Yuanzi immediately spoke in unison——

"Yes! That's him!"
