Panic will not help.
In desperate situations, only by staying calm can you find a way to survive.
Everyone returned to the villa and sat at the table, feeling uneasy.
Because it is deep in the mountains and forests, there is no signal for ordinary mobile phones.
The bandaged man knew this very well and boldly cut off the telephone lines and the suspension bridge.
only....
"I have a satellite phone in my bag."
Sakaki picked up his backpack and took out his cell phone.
At the same time, he was silently observing the changes in everyone's expressions.
In fact, there are no satellite phones at all.
He said this just to observe the reactions of the crowd.
When a normal person hears about a satellite phone, the expression he or she subconsciously reveals is definitely one of surprise and joy.
But the prisoners are different...
really.
The moment Sakaki Makoto took out his cell phone, everyone's expressions changed significantly.
Ran Mouri, the Suzuki sisters, and Chikako Ikeda all opened their eyes slightly wide, with surprise, excitement and excitement.
Not a criminal, ruled out.
Conan was shocked, it was a bit suspicious...
However, he was right beside her when the crime happened, and if she wasn't careful, she would be implicated, so she is not a big suspect...
To be determined.
The remaining Takahashi Ryoichi and photographer Kakutani Hiroki....
His pupils dilated slightly and his nose wrinkled.
This expression lasted only a moment.
"That's great, Mr. Sakaki!"
Photographer Hiroki Kakutani stood up excitedly:
"You are indeed a great detective. You even carry a satellite phone with you!"
"Then let's call the police right away!"
After looking at him, Sakaki Makoto pressed the dial button:
"Hello?"
"Inspector Megure, yes, it's me."
After giving the specific address, Sakaki Makoto put away the phone and said calmly:
"It took the police three hours to arrive because of the rain."
"During this period, I advise everyone not to leave the hall."
"I need to go back to my room to get something."
Chikako Ikeda suddenly stood up.
“The roof hasn’t been repaired yet…”
Takahashi Ryoichi also stood up.
"The camera battery is almost dead, I have to go back to the room to get a spare one."
Hiroki Kakutani pointed at the camera and said:
"And Ota Masaru, it's not safe to leave him alone in the room."
Seeing that the three people were not cooperating, Sakaki Makoto could only helplessly say:
"Go quickly and come back soon."
"Don't leave the villa."
Based on the previous inference, Sakaki Makoto could not be sure whether the bandaged monster was a disguised person in the villa.
But this possibility is very high.
There were seriously insufficient clues, so he couldn't use profiling and could only make judgments based on everyone's tiny movements.
after all....
He didn't even know what the bandaged man looked like.
"You really have a satellite phone?"
After Ikeda Chikako and the other two left, Conan asked stealthily.
"No."
"Then how did you call the police?"
“I didn’t call the police.”
Sakaki Makoto smiled and said:
"That was all acting just now. I performed it for you guys to see."
"ah?!"
Conan glared:
"If the police didn't show up after three hours, wouldn't that give us away?"
"rest assured...."
Taking out a cigarette box, Sakaki Makoto lit a cigarette and said quietly:
"The criminals won't wait for the police..."
"If you have nothing to do, follow Ikeda Chikako."
"Although I can't conclude that the bandage man is one of us, but..."
Sakaki Makoto blew out a puff of smoke and said while playing with his cigarette box:
"The criminal's target must be one of us."
"Isn't he targeting you?"
Conan scratched his head, and suddenly his body shook, and he reacted:
"you mean...."
"It seems you already understand."
Sakaki Makoto nodded with a smile.
It was the first time he met the people in the villa. There was no grudge between them in the past or in the present, and the other party had no motive at all.
If the bandaged man was an outsider, he should have used a gun, after all, the people he provoked were no ordinary people.
But since the criminal intends to kill him, it proves that...
The real target is someone else.
Killing Sakaki Makoto was just the preparation before committing the crime.
Conan rushed up to the second floor in one quick step to look for Chikako Ikeda.
Sakaki Makoto did not leave the hall. He wanted to use himself as bait to lure the criminal into taking action.
Two minutes passed quickly.
“Oh no!”
Conan poked his head out from the second-floor fence, a little out of breath:
"Ikeda, Ikeda Chikako isn't in the room!"
"What?"
Sakaki Makoto put out his cigarette and left the window:
"Have you searched the bathroom?"
"The first place I went was the bathroom!"
After saying this, Conan suddenly covered his mouth.
he...
It seems like something was revealed...
"broken!"
Sakaki Makoto cursed inwardly, rushed out of the hall, and began to look for Ikeda Chikako in the villa.
If I guessed correctly...
The criminal's target is her!
Mao Lilan and others also joined the search team, and even Kakutani Hiroki came out of the room and asked in confusion:
"What's going on?"
"Chikako is missing!"
Suzuki Ayako was so anxious that she almost cried:
"There are bad guys outside!"
Hiroki Kadaya started looking without saying anything.
Soon, Makoto Sakaki found the slippers worn by Chikako Ikeda at the back door.
There was a lot of wet mud at the back door entrance.
