Stay away from Conan

Chapter 338 Telephone Line

"The person who attacked me was the man on the suspension bridge, right? Conan... and Mr. Akechi must have seen it too!"

Xiaolan added nervously and seriously.

"Yeah! We also met that person on the bridge when we came here!"

Conan also said.

And because of these words, the rest of the people seemed to think of something, and Ota Katsuya couldn't help but feel a little surprised and started to say:

"When I got here, I saw a man wearing a black cloak next to the villa..."

"Me too……"

Hiroki Kakutani also said, "However, I didn't see his appearance. And I thought he was someone who lived nearby!"

"No!"

In this regard, Suzuki Ayako also felt that the situation was not good and said seriously:

"There are only two or three single-family villas on the other side of the bridge. On the other side of the valley, you have to climb over a mountain to find any homes!"

"So... who is that man..."

It felt a little creepy, Ota Katsu couldn't help but say.

"Moreover, when we were in the warehouse behind the villa, we found that the door lock of the warehouse seemed to have been broken!"

Conan added this at this time, making the atmosphere at the scene even more tense——

"Could it be that that person is someone who fled to the mountains and hid there deliberately after discovering the warehouse!"

Ryo Takahashi dispelled this possibility, causing everyone present to hold their breath and think wildly. At the same time, a thunderbolt flashed across the hall, and the atmosphere in the hall became extremely solemn——

"Anyway..."

At this time, Suzuki Ayako broke the deadlock and said seriously:

"Call the police first!"

With that said, Suzuki Ayako turned around and ran towards the villa's landline——

In this deep mountain and old forest, no one's mobile phone signal has any signal, and the only way to contact the outside world is the landline phone in the villa.

"But... it was really exciting and exciting just now!"

At this time, Yuanzi suddenly recalled what he had just experienced, and seemed to have thought of something, so he smiled and said to Xiaolan.

"Ah? What do you say?"

Xiaolan was puzzled by Yuanzi's sudden words.

"Don't you think this sounds like a movie plot?"

Yuanzi couldn't help but explain, and then as if he had fallen into a delusion, he said with a slightly dazed smile:

"The plot must unfold like this: a group of people trapped in a remote villa were killed one after another by a murderer ambushing in the forest. Only a pair of handsome men and beauties survived, and they worked together to knock down the murderer, and finally worked together to defeat the murderer. Get married and live a happy life!"

As he said that, Yuanzi touched his cheeks with both hands, already imagining and smiling.

Conan could only give her a blank look at this - what are you daydreaming about!

And Xiaolan also felt a little helpless that Yuanzi could still say such words at this time:

"Yuanzi! What time is it!"

Just as he was talking, Yuanzi fell into delusion and collapsed first, showing a little loss:

"Hey...why wasn't Ota the one who came to save me at that time..."

"Hey! Sonoko! What you said is very rude to Mr. Akechi!"

Xiaolan couldn't help but smile bitterly at Yuanzi's unabashed complaints.

"What can be done about this?"

Yuanzi said helplessly, "Who told me that I have never had the feeling of calling Mr. Mingzhi! It's really strange, Mr. Mingzhi obviously looks good..."

As he said this, Yuanzi looked very distressed.

"That's great. I'm not interested in you, so Mr. Mingzhi must thank you very much!"

Conan on the side couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart when he heard what Yuanzi said.

Fortunately, Gao Yuan followed Suzuki Ayako and the others to the landline, so he didn't hear Sonoko's complaint——

"What? The phone can't be reached?"

At this moment, when Ayako Suzuki picked up the phone and found that she could not make a call, Ryoichi Takahashi couldn't help but screamed, which frightened Chikako Ikeda and Atsuko Amamiya.

"It was fine at noon! How could this happen..."

Suzuki Ayako was holding the receiver and inevitably showed some panic.

"Maybe the line is blocked due to rain..."

Trying to think of the best, Ota Katsu couldn't help but say.

Gao Yuan squatted down and began to check the line connected to the landline phone. He found that it was not damaged, so he stood up and asked Suzuki Ayako:

"Ms. Suzuki, where is the phone line outside the house?"

Hearing Gao Yuan's question, Suzuki Ayako led Gao Yuan out of the back door of the villa and came to the telephone line set up outside the house. As a result, she saw that the part of the telephone line outside the house had been broken and was falling under the heavy rain. Floating in confusion——

"It's him!"

Seeing this scene, Takahashi Ryoichi shouted in horror:

"It must be the man with the bandage who broke the line - ooohhhhh!"

Shouting, Takahashi Ryoichi was frightened and began to rush towards the suspension bridge in front of the villa——

"Takahashi! Where are you going!"

Seeing this, Ota Masaru and Kakutani Hiroki couldn't help shouting at Takahashi Ryoichi in shock, and prepared to chase him——

"Mr. Ota, please lend me your lighter!"

At this time, Gao Yuan completely ignored Takahashi Ryoichi's actions. He just glanced at him slightly suspiciously and said to Ota Masaru who had not yet moved beside him -

The other person had been smoking and he had his lighter with him.

"Take it."

Although he didn't understand what Gao Yuan meant, Ota Katsu casually threw the lighter to Gao Yuan, and then went after Takahashi Ryoichi.

After Gao Yuan took the lighter, he asked Suzuki Ayako:

"Ms. Suzuki, is there any insulation tape or anything like that in the villa?"

"This... I'll go look for it!"

Suzuki Ayako didn't think much about Gao Yuan's request and ran back to the villa to look for it.

Gao Yuan took advantage of this time to pick up the disconnected telephone line that was floating outside. After briefly wiping the water stains on the break with his clothes, he used a lighter to light the insulating rubber at the break of the line and cut it off. The outer layer of rubber burns, exposing the metal circuitry inside.

At the same time, after performing the same treatment on the break of the line extending from the house, Gao Yuan connected the broken telephone line like an electric wire——

"Mr. Mingzhi, what are you..."

Looking at Takato's actions in stunned silence, Amamiya Atsuko said with surprise.

"The structure of the telephone line is very simple, just two copper wires, and they are weak current, so if you connect them like this, you can use them!"

Gao Yuan connected the two copper wires in the phone line and explained——

"Ms. Amamiya, go see if the phone can be dialed now!"

"okay……"

Very surprised, Amamiya Atsuko was stunned for a moment, and then hurried back to the villa, and Suzuki Ayako also came out with tape at this time——

"Mr. Akechi, can you just find ordinary tape?"

With that said, Suzuki Ayako handed the transparent tape in her hand to Gao Yuan.

"Better than nothing, that's okay!"

Gao Yuan affirmed after taking the tape.
