Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 656 Visiting the Haunted Apartment
Facing Amuro Toru's proposal, Qin Zhibo thought for a while.

As for ghosts, Qin Zhibo certainly believed in their existence, otherwise he would not have the skill of spiritism.

Ghosts, or ghosts.

In Chapter 1 of "The Secret of Worms" written by Ludwig Pulin, the existence of ghosts is shown.

However, Qin Zhibo hadn't seen the "wild ghost" with his own eyes.

"It's okay to go and have a look."

Qin Zhibo turned his head to look at Hui Yuanai, "Do you want to go?"

Hui Yuanai's eyes were complicated, she thought for a while, then nodded silently.

At this time, the old man Yinwu glanced at Qin Zhibo, and said expressionlessly: "I seem to have seen your face in newspapers before. Is it the famous detective who has become famous recently?"

"I can declare in advance that I am a poor old man, but I have no money to pay the high commission fee."

Qin Zhibo smiled, "It's okay, just treat it as helping a friend's patient for free."

Of course, the friend Qin Zhibo spoke of was Ma Chengshi.

……

The old man Otonashi's home is not too far from Xinde Hospital, it takes only 10 minutes to walk there.

This is an extremely dilapidated apartment building from the outside, and the mottled old paint tells the vicissitudes of life that this building has experienced.

The apartment building is facing a small park, and next to it is a half-built unfinished building.

Developer gone?
The old man Otonashi stopped in front of the apartment, looked at the opposite park and said, "The girl's body is the scorched corpse found in this park. It was so burned that it was impossible to tell who it was."

"As for the unfinished building next to the apartment, since the boss who won the bid wrapped himself in a plastic sheet and committed suicide here, it has been left like this, and no one dares to take over."

"There is also the foundation of this apartment, which was originally a cemetery."

After hearing what the old man Otonashi said, Qin Zhibo nodded, as if he understood.

The unfinished building where the boss committed suicide, the charred corpse of a woman in the park, and the foundation is a cemetery. This land is considered to be full of debuffs.

If Conan came to visit again, the price of this piece of land would really drop to the bottom.

Amuro Toru and Haibara Ai looked up at the apartment building, not very interested in Otonashi's "land price analysis".

The purpose of these two people coming here is the same, that is to see the ghost with their own eyes.

Toru Amuro wanted to see the ghost because of the strange scene he had seen in the video tape before, and he was eager to get some more definite confirmation.

Haibara Ai wanted to see the ghost, because she wanted to see her sister, Miyano Akemi again.

What the old man Otonashi said about the charred corpse of a woman made Huihara Ai think of his sister, because Miyano Akemi was also killed by Gin, and Gin is still at large.

If ghosts that cannot be reborn really exist, then so does the ghost of my sister.
Although as a scientist who advocates science, he should regard science as his only belief, but as long as there is a slight chance, Hui Yuan Ai does not want to give up.

And even people like Qin Zhibo believed in the occult, so did Bao Buqi really exist?

……

Led by the old man Otonashi, several people changed into slippers and walked into the entrance.

The inside of the porch looks like an old-fashioned apartment building. The dirty floor, the peeling walls, and the dim lighting give people a sense of dilapidation in the world in Silent Hill.

Just as a group of people were about to go inside, a man with his hands in his pockets walked towards him from the depths of the corridor.

"It's not easy. I thought the haunted incident in this apartment had passed with my memory. I didn't expect that there would still be people watching the excitement."

"It seems that there is another good show to watch tonight."

The man's face has its own shadows, slanted eyes and a somewhat sad nose, so his appearance is destined not to be too high.

Qin Zhibo looked at the top of the man's head. His name was Bancho Kikuji, 34 years old, a toy modeler.

"Good show?" Toru Amuro was puzzled.

Fancho Kikuji showed a strange smile, and said in a strange way: "Yes, isn't it often said that the more crowded a place is, the more haunted it is?"

After speaking, he pushed open the glass door of the entrance that was full of dirt, and left.

After the man left, the old man Otonashi introduced blankly, "He is Mr. Bancho who lives in Room 4. I heard that he works in a model shop and usually makes some spooky dolls in the room. "

Qin Zhibo and Amuro Toru didn't feel this, but Hui Yuanai felt a little bit of retreat in his heart.

Compared with ghosts that sound illusory, Haibara still doesn't want to see some terrifying images that actually exist.

"Little sister, it's still too late to quit now." The old man Otonashi noticed the timidity in Huibara's eyes.

But before Hui Yuanai could answer, another character appeared on the stage.

"What are you afraid of? It will be more lively if you stay."

"It's so boring to be deserted recently, I hope the ghosts will come out soon~"

The man has a big belly, thin legs exposed under shorts, and a wide mouth, making him look like a toad.

He stared at the crowd, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly inexplicably, and went straight into the toilet opposite the door.

"Who is this?" Toru Amuro asked proactively.

"He is Mr. Yotsuya who lives in Room 2. He is very obsessed with special photography, and the room is full of that type of video tape." The old man Otonashi said as he walked up the wooden steps leading to the second floor with his hands behind his back.

"It seems that he himself and one of his college classmates used a video tape to shoot a ghost movie with this apartment as the background, and I don't know if he would like to let us see it."

A voice suddenly interrupted his words at this moment, and when he looked up, he saw a man in neat clothes.

"That kind of stuff isn't worth watching at all."

"Taking those phantoms that don't exist at all as the theme is simply an extremely stupid idea, and it is also extremely absurd."

"Ah." The old man Otonashi thought of the man in front of him, "Don't you live in Room 1?"

"Someone was using the toilet on the first floor just now, so I had to borrow the one on the second floor."

The man walked down the stairs and said bluntly: "You guys want to dance with ghosts, it's none of my business, but I just ask you not to make too much noise."

"If I don't get that paper out by tomorrow, you can't afford it."

The man returned to his room, and the old man Otonashi introduced according to the old rules: "He is Mr. Peony who lives in Room 1. I heard that he is studying for courses in the graduate school."

"The three of them, plus me, the old man, are the only four residents left in the apartment."

"Except for Mr. Peony, Bancho, Yotsuya and I have all seen ghosts with our own eyes, but I can only continue to live here because of financial constraints."

"The other two probably just like the atmosphere here."

So far, Qin Zhibo has probably figured out the composition of the staff here.

A total of four people, very familiar with the configuration.

Just one Conan away.
