"What? You mean Chikako..."
"Yes, when we found her, she had already been murdered."
Hiroki Kakutani spoke cruelly to Ayako Suzuki, who looked on incredulously.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault for planning this class reunion..."
...
"Ran, are you alright? Are you hurt?" Yuzuru walked past Ayako Suzuki, who was blaming herself and feeling guilty, and strode over to Ran, who was being supported by Sonoko.
At this moment, Xiaolan's face was pale, and cold sweat was pouring down her forehead. She looked very weak.
She shook her head gently, forcing herself to answer, "Nan, I... I'm fine, just a little tired..."
Yuzuru gently wiped the sweat from Ran's forehead. Sonoko, standing nearby, gripped Ran's other hand tightly, her face full of worry as she asked, "Yuzuru, what should we do next? What if that guy attacks us again?"
Yuzuru took Sonoko and Ran's hands and said gently but firmly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I will do everything I can to protect you."
Hearing Yuzuru's words, Sonoko blushed slightly and muttered softly, "What... you can't even beat Ran..." Despite her words, she unconsciously tightened her grip on Yuzuru's hand.
Xiaolan silently felt the warmth in Yuzuru's palm, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart.
It felt as if a tiny electric current was coursing through her body, making her heart race. She tried to gently pull her hand away from Yuzuru's, but for some reason, her body felt as if it had lost all its strength, and she couldn't muster any power at all.
They watched as Yuzuru stood before them, smiling and promising to protect them.
Xiaolan gazed at his figure, a surge of indescribable emotion welling up in her heart.
Meanwhile, Shinichi Kudo, whose house was almost robbed, was still disguised as Conan, running around the villa searching for clues to solve the case.
...
"As long as the doors are locked, there won't be any problems. It's all Chika's fault for wandering around late at night... Anyway, everyone should go to bed early," Ota Masaru said nonchalantly.
"Ota! How could you say that?" Hiroki Kakutani looked at Masaru Ota in shock, completely unexpected that the other party would say such a thing.
"That's right, it's late, everyone should get some rest." Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Ayako Suzuki, who was still blaming herself, quickly spoke up to smooth things over.
"This is outrageous! People are already dead, and yet some people are still thinking about sleeping separately and actually being able to sleep." Yuzuru Nan complained about this strange "Detective Conan" phenomenon while helping the weak Ran Mouri back to her room to rest.
"Ran, Sonoko, you two get some rest. We'll head down the mountain at dawn tomorrow. Remember to bring the little ball I gave you," Yuzuru Nan reminded her worriedly.
“Okay! Goodnight, Nan.” Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki replied in unison.
After settling Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki, Nanami Hanyu came downstairs and saw everyone carefully checking every door of the villa to make sure they were all closed and locked.
Yuzuru didn't say anything to warn them about this trap, but instead went to the entrance to help close the door.
After all, the fake fat man still has a use, so it would be a waste to end it so early.
"Conan, it's time to rest!" Yuzuru said to Conan, who was looking for evidence next to the shoe cabinet.
"knew!"
When Conan heard Yuzuru call his name, he casually responded. But then he noticed that Ikeda Chikako's slippers were missing. Conan began to frown and frantically try to connect the clues.
"Huh?"
Just as Conan had a flash of inspiration and seemed to have figured something out, he suddenly felt himself flying.
Conan tilted his head and saw Yuzuru lift him up and walk towards the room.
"Brother Yuzuru, put me down! I can walk by myself!" Conan tried his best to act cute while struggling to escape from Yuzuru's grasp.
He'd just gotten a few ideas and had no intention of going to sleep right now!
Unfortunately, how could a "child" like Conan possibly refuse a decision made by an adult?
There was nothing Shinichi Kudo could do; with the body of an elementary school student, he was completely unable to break free from Nanami Hanyu's grasp and could only be dragged back to his room by Nanami Hanyu, looking utterly aggrieved.
"That's outrageous! That Yuzuru Nanami, once I'm back in my original body, I'm going to teach him a lesson he won't forget!"
...
"call!"
Yuzuru gently blew on his fingers, then looked at Conan, who had already fainted on the bed, and nodded in satisfaction.
The reason for insisting that Conan come back to "sleep" is that he will be following Takahashi Ryoichi next, in case of any accidents.
And a detective like Conan, if you don't find a way to "put him to sleep," he'll definitely cause trouble for himself.
So, after carrying Conan into the room, Yuzuru threw him onto the bed, applied the air gun fluid, and turned the power down to the minimum, leaving only the function of making people unconscious.
He silently slapped himself in the face, and Conan, who was about to turn around and complain, instantly fainted.
...
Meanwhile, in Ryoichi Takahashi's room—
"That girl definitely bumped into my stomach today!" Takahashi Ryo said with a fierce look, lost in thought.
He recalled that when Xiaolan rushed out, she accidentally bumped into his stomach.
"Just because she hasn't reacted yet doesn't mean she won't react later. Then I'll be finished." Thinking this, Takahashi Ryoichi took the blood-stained axe out of his stomach and wiped it with cotton.
