Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 2518 2522 [Want to enter the closet]

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly realized: "Is it possible that his family members haven't arrived yet? - That's right, it suddenly started to rain heavily in the afternoon, and the roads here are not easy to travel. The man might have been stuck on the road."

As she was talking, she thought of herself who was also stuck, and sighed helplessly: "Fortunately, this family has a lot of rooms, and we don't have anything to do tomorrow morning, so we can make do here tonight... But is it really safe here?"

Curacao's ears twitched and he caught the key words.

Not safe?
She endured it again and again, but still couldn't help asking: "Why do you say that?"

Suzuki Sonoko glanced furtively outside the door and lowered her voice: "You may not know that Miss Haruna has received a lot of harassing messages - such as asking her to come out alone to meet, calling her a thief and so on. Especially from the point of view of calling her a thief, the person who sent the message must be someone in this family!"

"Luckily Jiang Xia accepted the commission and came with her. We were more people, so the people of the Ogata family didn't dare to move. Otherwise, Miss Haruna might have been tied up and taken to the basement as soon as she got here, and tortured for the whereabouts of the stamps!"

Yuuki Haruna: “!”

Thinking about the many questions she received at dinner tonight, and then thinking about the horrific scene described by Suzuki Sonoko, her eyes suddenly became filled with gratitude when she looked towards Jiang Xia.

Curacao looked at her, at Suzuki Sonoko, and then at Jiang Xia: "..." In order to win people's hearts, he even brought a special supporting actor. It turns out that this guy Uzo has a lot of means of manipulation, and his soft and hard methods make people hard to defend against.

Fortunately, she was immune to all poisons and had long seen through these tactics.

When Suzuki Sonoko and Yuki Haruna were explaining Jiangxia's heroic deeds.

Beside her, Mao Lilan noticed that Jiang Xia seemed to be thinking about something. She was a little curious: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xia: "Just now in the funeral hall, I looked at the tablet of Mr. Qiu Wu - the date of his death written on the back was December 12th of last year."

Curacao: "..." Oh, you're exposed, I was watching you the whole time, and you didn't even turn over the back of the tablet. You still say you didn't write the script?
Unfortunately, except for her, no one else noticed this.

They had already started to think along the lines of Usa. Suzuki Sonoko: "December 12th?... I feel like there's something wrong with this date."

It was Yuuki Haruna, the person involved, who was the first to react. Her heart skipped a beat and her face turned pale. "I made an appointment with Mr. Shugo to meet on December 12th, and he gave me the music box and pager on Christmas Day, December 20th..."

But now, the tablet told her that Mr. Qiu Wu had died more than ten days before their meeting? !

…Then who was the person who asked her out???

"That is to say, there is, there is..." Mao Lilan was also frightened, "There is a ghost?!"

Jiang Xia looked at the mermaid who was rolling past him out of boredom and shook his head. "How can there be ghosts in this world? This can only mean that during that period, or even earlier, someone else was in contact with Miss Haruna, and that person also gave her the music box."

"Although there are no ghosts, it sounds even scarier." Mao Lilan muttered and touched her arm, "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go to bed first."

Curacao glanced at Jiang Xia: "..." Why sleep? How can you sleep with this guy next door? Why not just chat all night, at least this way we can keep an eye on each other, and some guys can't do anything secretly.

Unfortunately, however, this invitation to pull an all-nighter is unfounded.

In the end, Curacao could only silently spread out the bedding, resist the urge to go into the closet, find a corner away from the next room and lie down, planning to close her eyes and rest for a night - just one night is not a problem for her.

The guest rooms here are adjacent to each other, separated by a sliding paper door. Jiang Xia carried his bedding and pushed the door open to go to the next room.

After everyone was lying down, Mao Lilan stood up and pulled the rope hanging from the chandelier. With a click, the chandelier turned off and the room returned to darkness.

Mao Lilan was about to get under the blanket and lie down, but the next moment, a faint light suddenly lit up in the corridor, illuminating the room through the paper screen.

"!" Several people were startled, and they all opened their eyes and looked at the paper door. At this moment, an old lady with a cane walked from right to left, passing through the door at a speed that did not match her hunched body. The dim light in the corridor also dimmed.

Curacao: “…”

The other three girls: “???”

Mao Lilan was stunned, and then let out a scream of terror that she had never heard in recent times.

"what--!!!"

Just as he finished shouting, the paper door next door was opened again, revealing a standing figure in the darkness.

"Ahhhh——!!" Mao Lilan was doubly frightened, her hands and feet went limp, and she fell to the ground with a thud.

Suzuki Sonoko sensed something. She supported Mao Lilan and looked at the shadow that seemed slightly more handsome than the other shadows. She quickly reacted: "Don't be afraid! Have you forgotten? Jiang Xia is next door."

Sure enough, soon, the shadow made a voice they were familiar with: "What's wrong?"

"You, didn't you see it?" Yuuki Haruna was also very scared, but fortunately she was better than Mao Lilan who was afraid of ghosts. "Just now, an old lady ran along the corridor. She was very fast and didn't make any sound!"

"Really?" Jiang Xia turned to look outside the door, "I didn't see it."

At this moment, the sound of running footsteps was heard in the corridor.

Jiang Xia walked to the door, opened it, and found a group of people from the Ogata family running over.

"What happened?" The second son of the Ogata family, who was leading the group, looked worried. "I seemed to hear someone screaming over here just now."

"It's nothing serious." Jiang Xia turned on the light, "It's just that a few of my friends saw a suspicious figure."

Mao Lilan nodded repeatedly. She gestured frantically: "It was an old lady, leaning on a cane, with a severe hunchback and a relatively short stature - but she walked very fast, and passed through the door in a flash! ... No, there was no flash, she walked without making any sound at all!"

The second son of the Ogata family looked at the suspended wooden floor under his feet and scratched his head: "No sound when walking? How is that possible? Are you telling a ghost story?"

Mrs. Ogata's face changed slightly, and she thought of something: "Speaking of this, a guest who stayed at our house before seemed to have said that he felt someone walking past his pillow when he was sleeping. He told it as a joke at the time, so we just listened to it as a joke. Could it be..."

Mr. Ogata shook his head and looked at the terrified guests: "It's probably just a sleep disorder. Our house is a traditional Japanese-style house that has not been renovated recently. The paper door is a little drafty. It may be an illusion caused by the wind."

Curacao looked at the three people who were talking at the same time: "..."Didn't you notice that something is missing?
