Act 256: Haunted House (1)
"Of course, little brother." Yin Wufang put on a gloomy face, faintly: "There is a girl who was unjustly killed at a young age, and since then she has resented the world. will never be able to successfully overtake ......"
His deep voice sounded like the sound effects of a horror movie, and Maori Ranshi shivered to hear it.
Satsuki and Gran Lewee were indifferent. After listening, they looked at each other:
Looks like that's the incident......
"Why don't we go and see?" The corners of Glenleyway's mouth twitched, and he first proposed: "If there is a famous detective Mori Kogoro in charge, maybe the mystery of the haunted house will be solved soon." β
"Ahem." Maori coughed lightly in a serious manner, and the compliment was really stimulating to him. He echoed Glenleyway's words and said, "Yes, I think this is just a prank by some person." Mr. Otonai, please lead the way......"
According to Oto-no, four years ago, the charred corpse of a woman was found in a park near his current apartment. Because the female corpse was unrecognizable when she died, and the murderer was not caught for a long time, she would occasionally come to this apartment to ask for the lives of these residents, and many guests were already scared away. Now only Kikuji of Banmachi in room 4, Imasao Yotsuya in room 2, and Mudani Ruhiko in room 1 still live in this apartment.
At this time, Hoshino Satsuki and the other six people were in room No. 5 where Otono Yoshiichi was. Everyone sat around a low table and listened to the strange things that had happened in this apartment.
The narrow and dark space made the strange things in his mouth extremely strange.
"Actually, the whole thing started after I saw a ghost fire wafting in the building next door in the middle of the night. At first, none of the other tenants believed in the haunting. Later, either the water in the toilet turned red, or an eerie figure emerged from the window to peek inside the house. It's not like someone has just woken up and seen something horrifying. This kind of thing happened one after another, and later TV stations and magazines came to report it. β
As Glenlevy listened, his eyes were always closed, as if he had nothing to do with him. It wasn't until Otona's words fell that he opened his eyes and said slowly, "Then, Mr. Otonai." Have you ever wondered if the fire that floated in the building next door wasn't a ghost fire, but someone living there? β
"Impossible." Yin Wuwu said categorically: "Because that building was prepared to be abandoned a long time ago, but after the charred woman incident, no one dared to demolish it." Who would live in a building without windows?
"Didn't you just say that?" Gao Yue hurriedly took over, "The murderer who killed that woman four years ago has not been found for a long time, and it is very likely that the murderer lives there." And the strange things that happened here one after another were just ecstasy arrays set up by the murderer's accomplices in order to cover up their companions. He scared the occupants away in order to prevent others from living in the room directly across from the building. β
"Huh?" The people present made puzzled voices at the same time, and looked at Satsuki and Gran Lewei with a panicked expression.
"So you say, the murderer's accomplice is still in this apartment?"
"Well, that's just my guess." Gao Yue smiled slyly, "If you want to know the truth of the matter, you need to ask him personally." β
"Ask him personally?" Mori Kogoro's face was full of mockery, "Don't be kidding, even if there is really a murderer, how can he tell you about it?" β
"Then I need you to cooperate with the Maori detective." At this moment, Glenlevy leaned forward in the middle of the table and lowered his voice: "Everyone lean your ears and listen to me." β
Except for Satsuki, several people's heads circled around the table, and Conan, in particular, listened extremely carefully.
"The five of us are here to visit today, and the murderer will definitely choose to reproduce the previous methods today. That is, the image of a female ghost on TV, the red liquid on the toilet in the bathroom, and the ghost outside the window. I think the first trick would be to pour chloroform into the window edge of this room before the sun goes down to stun the people in this room. Then, use a public remote control to control the TV in the room, switch the station to a channel that can play videotapes, and then use a public antenna to broadcast the image of the female ghost to the TV in this room. The red liquid flushed out of the second toilet bowl is a chemical reaction between the Ammonian reagent and alcohol, which is often talked about in primary school nature classes. When the two are combined, they become a red liquid. β
"......I see," Conan muttered with his chin propped up in one hand, "just pour the Ammonian reagent into the toilet bowl beforehand, and then pour alcohol into the tank in the back." When flushing the toilet in this way, the water will naturally turn red. β
"Really?" Xiaolan was still a little skeptical, "So, what's going on with the ghost outside the window?" β
"It's easier to be ghosted......" Gran Lewie paused, and said, "Aren't there moths here all the time at night?" β
Such a hint was enough for Conan, and he immediately took over: "I know, if you apply a human shape on the gauze beforehand with the pheromone agent commonly used by male moths to repel pests, and then cut out the eyes and mouth with black paper and stick them on the gauze, the male moth will gather on the window after asking about the taste, and it will look like a ghost peeping into the house at night." β
βBINGOγβ Glenlevy snapped his fingers.
Conan's words made Yin Wufang wake up as if he had just woken up from a dream: "If you say that, I do remember that the edge of that ghost is a little jagged. It's a lot like the flickering firelight. Now that I think about it, that's probably why the moths are flapping their wings. β
Detective Mori Kogoro's limelight was completely overshadowed by the two furry children. was unwilling, and his tone was a little yin and yang: "So, what should we do to make the prisoners fall into the net?" It's impossible to go into their rooms and search for any of the potions that pretend to be ghosts. β
"That's the point...... Glenleway's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, "as long as the prisoner's deceptive tricks can't be revealed." Then Satsuki and I would go to the supermarket for a while to buy some aids and force him to tell all the facts himself. β
When night fell, Satsuki and Glenlevy pretended to be bored and were ready to leave, but actually went to the nearby supermarket to buy whole things. The other four remained in this room, waiting for the prisoner's action.
At this time, in order to prevent the smell of chloroform from entering the nasal cavity, all four people put on masks, turned off the lights in the room, and listened to the sound outside the window.
Sure enough, after a rustling sound outside the window, some kind of liquid seeped into the room through the crack in the window. Then, several people winked at each other and began to act.
"Dad, why do I suddenly feel so sleepy. Why don't you sleep for a while, and we'll go when we wake up. β
