Chapter 212 You Don’t Count, Reflect on Yourself

A group of people in pajamas outside were originally unhappy about being woken up by Conan and Xiaolan, but when they walked over, they saw the wide-open glass door with a circular gap on it.

When they rushed over, they saw this scene. Facing the bandaged monster holding an axe, everyone immediately became alert, but Lingshi approached from behind.

Under their incredible gaze, Lingshi chopped the hand holding the axe with a knife, and the old scene reappeared, and the axe fell again.

The bandaged monster turned around and looked at Zero Hour with disbelief in his eyes. He didn't even notice when Zero Hour came over. Zero Hour said it was normal operation.

Are you kidding? If you could discover my approach, how would I survive in the underworld?

In the chaos, no one else noticed anything unusual about Lingshi. They just thought that the murderer was distracted by them and didn't notice Lingshi's approach. They were also worried about Lingshi's actions.

Zero Hour: "Alright, are you going to continue to confront everyone like this? Takahashi Ryoichi, the only one who wasn't sleeping in his own room, ran into my room to kill someone and silence him?"

"Takahashi!?"

"Mr. Takahashi, how come?"

The group of people showed expressions of disbelief, but they also knew clearly that Takahashi was not in the room. They all went to his room but did not see anyone.

At this time, everyone showed an expression of disbelief. The bandaged monster, the murderer Takahashi Ryoichi, finally opened his mouth and spoke. He could no longer escape.

"Why on earth? How did you know it was mine?"

Takahashi Ryoichi slumped to the ground. He had long been unable to bear the pain in his abdomen. This time he had really met a tough opponent, and he wanted to know the truth before he died.

Conan walked up, took out the paper package and opened it to reveal the collar inside, which was the one Ikeda originally wore around his neck.

Lingshi: "Unfortunately, I just found this in the house. It should have been something that belonged to the person who was kidnapped by the murderer outside, but it turned out to be in the house. Isn't it interesting?"

Conan showed it and then immediately rewrapped it and put it away. This was an important piece of evidence that had been instructed at midnight and must not be taken away by the murderer.

Zero Hour: "And this is so simple. Even Conan can see the scratches on the second-floor railing. It shouldn't be difficult for you, the one in charge of props, to make it."

"You're the only one upstairs who can make the Bandage Monster and Ikeda Chikako appear outside the window. No one else can recover the evidence in time. Only you can do it if you're not in sight."

Takahashi Ryoichi looked incredulous. How on earth did he come up with this? His plan was so perfect.

Zero Hour then added:

"Of course you can quibble, but don't forget, your fingerprints are definitely on that collar. I don't need to know how you did it. I have irrefutable evidence, brother."

It seems that Zero is not the only one who is in the spotlight, so Conan can't help but interrupt.

"Of course you can't carry the whole body, but if it's just the head... you put it in your clothes, right?"

"Looking at your current body shape, your obesity is a disguise. You deliberately confuse everyone about your body shape for this purpose."

Everything was revealed, and finally it was time for Zero Hour's least favorite part: confessing and explaining the reasons.

Everything was because of the dead girl - Dunzi. Before committing suicide, the girl called Takahashi Ryoichi and said that she would never trust anyone again.

It was not until he saw Ikeda's new movie that he understood what this meant. This woman, Ikeda, stole Dunzi's novel and kept it for herself, causing Dunzi to commit suicide.

Speaking of this,

Takahashi Ryoichi became excited and shouted fiercely,

"I am a knight representing justice. I am doing this to defend justice and seek justice for the deceased Dunzi!"

He thought he was a hero, and pulled out a knife from somewhere and continued to talk:

"I've already decided. After I kill that woman, I'll go down to accompany Dunzi. I'll go down to accompany her as a messenger of justice."

"Stop joking, you conceited guy!"

Conan suddenly cursed out loud. When he just came to the balcony, the first thing he saw was the bed. The down was flying out, and the sheets were messily turned up along the hole to reveal the down inside.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was caused by an axe. Originally, Lingshi disagreed with the proposal when it was proposed to him, but Lingshi tried to ensure that nothing would happen to him by stacking pillows together to pretend that there was someone on the bed.

But Conan didn't see any broken pillow on that bed. Instead, there was a bulge on the other bed, probably as a disguise with a pillow stuffed in it.

At midnight, he was lying on the bed and lured the murderer to attack him, in order not to alert the murderer and prevent him from discovering that he and Ran Mao Li were not there.

Conan felt angry when he thought about the possibility that if Zero Time reacted just a second slower, he would be hacked to death by this guy.

Conan: "A murderer like you who kills an unrelated person to cover up his crime is not worthy of being called a knight of justice!"

These words hit Takahashi Ryoichi, who was about to commit suicide, on the ground. The knife in his hand fell to the ground, and he showed a look of despair and burst into tears.

Midnight: Ah, the reformation phase is even more boring.

Conan's reaction was much better than his. Lingshi didn't expect Conan to be so excited that he would shout such words regardless of the fact that he was still an elementary school student.

But it shouldn't matter. It just means that Conan cares more about his guardian, and no one can be fooled by what a child says.

And Reitoki was also really touched. When did their relationship become so good? When Kudo Shinichi first recognized her as Reitoki, they were just friends with a common secret.

Does living together add any buff to a close relationship? Not bad, not bad. It was worth taking you on the trip. I will take you with me next time.

Lingshi walked over and hugged Conan and rubbed his head.

"That's very well said. You are worthy of being my disciple. I will take you to a feast tomorrow."

Conan: Hey, hey, that's not what I'm after.

He was really worried about Lingshi. The trauma of being scared by Lingshi before was still there. He was really worried that something might happen to Lingshi. Did this guy know about it?

Conan stared at Lingshi with dissatisfaction, leaving Lingshi with a puzzled look. Takahashi Ryoichi confessed his guilt and was tied up by Ota Masaru and Kakutani, who planned to take him to the police station to surrender tomorrow.

Kakutani was about to punch him, but was stopped by Ota.

"It was Ikeda who did this in the first place. Who are you to hit him? Don't let the police arrest you for assault later."

Kakutani was choked and speechless for a long time, and finally had to give up the idea, but he still looked at Takahashi with anger and helplessness.

Takahashi had lost his spirit and allowed several people to tie him up. He no longer wanted to resist. The child was right. He had become an executioner of revenge and was not worthy of being called justice.
