Chapter Ninety-One: The Curse of the Rose

When Twilight Thirteen heard this, he naturally felt a little strange.

"Why did Ms. Xuejiang ask that?"

"Actually"

After hesitating for a moment, Xue Jiang recounted the scene he had seen.

About 1 o'clock at the time of the terrace. She saw someone pushing a wheelchair in the direction of the greenhouse, and thought it was her father pushing her mother out for a walk.

Takagi immediately understood something, "In other words, it was the murderer who was carrying the body in a wheelchair at that time?" ”

"So, where was the wheelchair at that time?"

Twilight Thirteen looked at Shayu and asked.

"Right next to my bed. However, if someone pulls the wheelchair, I will definitely be aware of it. ”

"And in this house, there is only this one wheelchair. Unless "

Sha Yu was taken aback, "Could it be that it's Ayako?" ”

If it's a ghost, it can do that quietly.

Next, Twilight 13 and Takagi visit the tavern where Shumi used to work.

The proprietress is called Yuka Sheng Yong, and she is a slightly chubby woman.

Her face was covered with heavy makeup, which made her look a little more sophisticated.

"Shumi?"

Sheng Yong Yuxiang smiled: "She is very popular. You see the things on the cupboard, they are all gifts from different guests. ”

On the cabinet, there are also photos of Shumi.

Holding a bouquet of roses, smiling smartly.

"Don't look at me like I am now, I used to be the one who took a cover photo."

As she spoke, Yuka Sheng Yong stroked her hair rather narcissistically.

Takagi smiled awkwardly: I can't see it at all, okay?

Twilight Thirteen coughed lightly, "Do you remember, Miss Shumei has any special guests?" ”

"About three years ago. She got along with a married man, and she would do whatever it took for each other. ”

It's a pity that in the end, he was dumped. But after that, Shumi met Yoshio and slowly came out of the depression. ”

After leaving the tavern, through a visit, I got a witness testimony from a pharmacist at a nearby drugstore who had seen Shumi yesterday.

When she walked to the door, she laughed inexplicably, for some reason. It felt like something was possessed. ”

Twilight Thirteen and Takagi glanced at each other.

The meaning is self-evident: is it really a curse?

In the woods near Yoshikoto's house, shrouded in mist.

Luckily, it wasn't too late, otherwise it would have been like you'd been in a forest of terror.

"I have a feeling that cookie must have been cursed by something."

Motota touched his stomach and bent over slightly.

At this time, the group suddenly stopped.

"Conan, do you hear what seems to be a sound in the warehouse over there?"

Ayumi tugged at the corner of his coat with some fear, carefully following behind him, looking around.

"If you want to know what it is, just go in and see."

With that, Gray Yuan Wai walked over, ready to push the door open.

But at this moment, a man stopped her hand.

Mitsuhiko swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said kindly: "There is no one inside, but suddenly there is a sound, it must be a demon who eats children inside." ”

Along the way, Qinghai Chuantang told them about the legend of "claypot rice".

So several people were convinced, thinking that this place might also be full of malice towards children.

Otherwise, why is there not a single child in such a large house?

It must have been eaten.

Gray Yuan Wai turned his head to look at Qinghai Chuantang behind him, only to see the other party spread his hands, looking "it has nothing to do with me".

"There will be no ghosts in this world."

Obviously, Gray Yuan Ai belongs to the realists who believe in science.

Just as she pushed the door open, a black figure burst out of it.

"That thing seems to be a black cat just now, right?"

Mitsuhiko was startled, remembering the story he had heard earlier.

"Could it be that the black cat is the one that Ayako was killed?"

Mitsuhiko felt deep doubts about this world, "Curse, curse, ghosts turn out to be real. ”

Ayumi was even more scared: "If we continue like this, will we all be cursed?" ”

"It's not a supernatural event at all, it's just a man-made homicide."

Conan walked over and reached out and touched the chair, where the depression still had a little warmth.

He looked at the crowd with a smile, pointed and said, "You see, if it is a ghost, how can it still leave temperature and depressions? ”

The fear on Ayumi's face subsided quite a bit.

"In this case, is the murderer actually trying to use that rumor to distract the police?"

"How is that possible!"

Conan looked at Gray Plains, "It's just that you're thinking complicated. ”

"There are so many flowers in the greenhouse, but the reason why the murderer chose roses is not because of its meaning, but because he wants to borrow roses to cover something."

If you think about it, what is it that roses have?

That's right, it's its thorns.

"Although the roses that people buy in the market do not have thorns, it is only because the merchants cut off the thorns, otherwise they will hurt people."

"And some things just happen to be related to the supernatural. If you want to explain, you can explain it. ”

For example, the reason why Sook-mi laughs at the door of the drugstore is actually because of the poster pasted on the glass door.

It doesn't matter if it's just ordinary.

But the girl on the poster wearing a cockroach costume and playing a cockroach is written in the lower right corner that she is the proprietress of the tavern.

And that black cat is actually raised by Shumei.

What Yuan Tai ate was not ordinary biscuits, but cat food.

Drugstores are actually like grocery stores, and it's normal to have cat food in them.

So Shumi went to buy cat food.

In this way, the problem of Gentae's abdominal pain can also be well explained.

"However, if Sister Shumei is raising cats, why hasn't the family noticed it for so long?"

Ayumi tilted her head with a puzzled expression, looking a little cute.

"Because someone is allergic to cats, she's always been secretive."

Ash Yuan Ai clasped his hands together and leaned against the wall behind him.

Thinking about it carefully, Yashou once said that as soon as he approached the other mansion, he coughed, had a headache, and felt unwell.

It turned out that it wasn't because of the curse.

Because these are all symptoms of allergies to cats.

In this way, these problems can indeed be explained. However, what exactly did the murderer want to hide by borrowing roses? ”

Mitsuhiko touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, he clapped his hands violently, revealing an expression of sudden realization: "I know!" The killer must have had his hand scratched by a cat and then deliberately placed the body in a rose bush. ”

"That way, when it's time to carry the corpse, let the hand be punctured and scratched, and the others won't be suspicious."

Conan nodded and smiled, "That's right, that's it. ”

So the murderer must be among those three.

"Mr. Butler, Mr. Yashou, and Mr. Haofu, so who is the murderer among these three people?"

"Actually, if you want to use the elimination method, you can use the elimination method."

As he spoke, Qinghai Chuantang took out a pen and notebook, and wrote the names of the three on them.

"First of all, Mr. Keiji. Do you think he's a murderer? ”

"I don't think so."

Ayumi smiled and explained, "After all, those roses are carefully taken care of by themselves. ”

"If you put things on them and crush them, you're going to feel distressed. After all, those who love flowers will not bear to be destroyed! ”

Although this is a reason, the real reason is that I often take care of the roses.

After all, even if there is a scar, it will not be particularly conspicuous.

The only ones left are Mashou, Hiroo.

But before using the elimination method, Qinghai Chuantang asked them a question: Did the murderer really use a wheelchair to carry the body?

"Huh?"

The three children blinked, "Isn't it?" ”

Conan smiled and pointed to the warehouse.

"The piles in there are all baby supplies, which should have been used by the two siblings when they were very young."

"And one of these baby products also has wheels and can be used as a handling tool."

In addition, the night was already dark at that time, and Ms. Xuejiang was used to seeing wheelchairs again. So it's a matter of course to mistake a stroller for a wheelchair. ”

Since Yashou and Haofu have been in this house for a long time, they naturally know about this warehouse and what is piled up inside.

Choosing one of the remaining two makes it much easier.

What's more, they have crucial evidence.

"As for who is the murderer? Just ask the murderer himself, won't he know? ”

The sky gradually darkened, and it seemed a little hazy and mysterious.

Everyone stayed inside the house, waiting for the other party to announce who the real murderer was.

Qinghai Chuantang quietly glanced at Conan, and gestured with his eyes: Why did you let me come?

Do you want me to have a little child?

Conan responded in the same way.

"Three years ago, even though you already have a family, you dated Miss Shumei, right?"

As he spoke, Qinghai Chuantang looked at Haofu.

"What evidence do you have?"

"Because, Corolla."

"Huh?"

Qinghai Chuantang explained: "Corolla is a variety of roses, and it is also very precious. Mr. Mashou, as mentioned before, you plucked a rose. ”

"I guess it was three years ago, right?"

Sha Yu nodded and asked with some curiosity, "But, how do you know?" ”

She remembered that at the time, she just mentioned it briefly, right?

"In the tavern where Miss Soumi works, there is a photograph that happens to be holding a rose."

"You know, roses are different from roses, just like there are no two eggs that are the same."

Twilight Thirteen nodded, looking at Hirofu.

"So, the murderer is indeed Mr. Howf?"

Haofu didn't say a word, and chose to acquiesce.

"Brother-in-law, why? You explain it to me! ”

Yoshio wanted to rush forward and grab the man's collar, but was grabbed in time.

"After all, it's the woman I once abandoned. When they saw her here, they thought she had come to avenge themselves. ”

"Because of my suspicions, in order to prevent myself from being killed in an unknown way, don't try to be the first to do it."

"However, this is all your misunderstanding. Miss Shumi is only here because she is simply in love with Mr. Yoshio. ”

"So what you care about is just your own imagination, and she doesn't have that idea at all."

Howf's eyes dodged for a moment, and he said a little confused: "I, I didn't know at the time, I really don't know." ”

"You!"

Yoshio rushed up and grabbed him by the collar, but eventually let it go.

He lowered his head and hung his hands limply.

Tragedy has happened, even if this man is taught a lesson, what can be saved?

Yashou pushed Shayu forward for some distance, and it was obvious that she seemed to have something to say.

Sha Yu looked at Haofu and said coldly, "Neither we nor Rose will choose to forgive you. ”

As soon as the words fell, all the lights in the room went out.

Everyone looked at the situation in front of them, and some did not understand what was happening.

At this moment, Haofu suddenly saw a woman standing outside the window, and smiled at him, with some bad intentions.

Frightened, he fell to the ground.

The lights came back on, and the woman was long gone.

It's as if what I saw just now was just an illusion of my own.

After leaving, everyone had a feeling of panic.

"You all saw it just now, right?"

"That's not that woman, it's a female ghost. It should be the legendary Miss Ayako, right? ”

Seeing the frightened looks of several children, Conan smiled and comforted: "There can be no ghosts in this world!" It must be Sister Xiaotang's prank, right? ”

After saying that, Conan looked at her, as if hoping that the other party would cooperate with him.

However, Qinghai Chuantang's body stiffened.

She stood still, turning her head somewhat mechanically and looking at Conan.

"I didn't arrange that. What's more, I've always been with you. ”

"Ahh

Ayumi couldn't help but scream, a look of horror on her face.

"So, what we saw just now was really Miss Ayako's?"

"Maybe"

Qinghai Chuantang sighed leisurely, "After all, Miss Ayako, who likes roses so much, will definitely have the urge to kill the other party when she sees someone trampling on her roses wantonly." ”

"Maybe in the end, the curse will fall on Mr. Howf."

"Ghost, ghost"

The three children didn't know what they saw suddenly, and they all ran away.

"Gray Plains, you can't be playing a prank, right?"

However, Gray Plains was standing beside him.

"Sister Xiaotang, could it be you?"

However, the other party stood in front of him.

Conan was shocked, could it be that there are really ghosts in this world?

He turned his head slowly, and saw a figure standing behind him, with anger written on his face.

Because of the backlight, it does look a little scary.

What's more, it still appeared so quietly.

"Little, Sister Xiaolan!"

Conan was stunned for a moment, then quickly put on a flattering smile.

cautiously probed: "Sister Xiaolan, why did you appear here?" ”

"It's really Conan!"

Xiaolan bent down to stare at him, and said very dissatisfied: "After going out early this morning, I haven't come back, and I haven't answered several calls to you, I'm worried about your well?" ”

"If I hadn't asked Sister Xiaotang and said that I knew where you were, I wouldn't have been able to find you."

When Conan heard this, he quickly took out his mobile phone, only to see that the call log showed seventeen missed calls.

Laughing, he put his phone back in his pocket, thinking about how to calm the other person's anger.

"Sister Xiaolan, listen to my quibbles!"
