The window of the room where the two people were sitting in front of them was five meters high from the ground floor.

And because of the special nature of this room, there are no other windows on either side that people can step through.

"No one should be able to climb up here," Hattori Heiji murmured as he looked at the dark scene below.

Conan also looked away from below, "This is the only way..."

"Up above!" The two of them said the answer in unison.

The two looked at each other.

Under the shocked expressions of several other people present, Hattori Heiji picked up Conan's entire body, and Conan's entire body was outside, with his feet dangling in the air, as if he would fall into the abyss in the next second.

With the help of Hattori Heiji, Conan quickly saw the scene above the window.

An idea flashed and a smile appeared on his lips.

As Hattori Heiji carried him back to the room, his feet hit the ground again.

"Did you find anything, Conan?"

Hattori Heiji, who almost spilled the beans, immediately changed his mind.

Glancing at Hattori Heiji, Conan nodded confidently, "Yes, that ghost is definitely man-made."

He pointed to the window, "The ivy on the wall above this room has been deliberately pruned, and there are also traces of rope friction here."

"So," Mouri Kogoro decided at this moment, "someone deliberately tied a doll with a rope to scare Xiaolan and the others."

Conan nodded at this moment.

"But!"

Hearing Conan's words, Xiaolan, who had been trembling all the time, spoke up, breaking what they were going to say next, "I clearly heard someone knocking on the window at that time."

"That's it..." Hattori Heiji pointed to the aging window, "This place is right at the wind outlet and the windows are aging. When the wind blows, it sounds like someone is knocking on the window."

"Yes...really?" Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, remembering her expression just now, and suddenly blushed.

Fikawa Mie stepped forward and patted Xiaolan on the shoulder. She whispered, "Don't worry."

"Even if there are really ghosts in this world, I will protect you."

"Miss Fuchuan," Xiaolan was moved in her heart.

Conan looked at Fikawa Mie in front of him, his expression slightly changed.

At this moment, there was a knocking sound at the door.

A tall, thin woman wearing a maid uniform saluted politely, "Everyone, dinner is ready. Please move to the restaurant to eat."

Following the maid towards the restaurant, Hattori Heiji habitually approached Conan and walked side by side with him.

"By the way Heiji," Toyama Kazuha looked at Hattori Heiji in front of him, "What's going on with this commission?"

She said, hugging Xiaolan tightly.

I just felt that this house was eerie and uncomfortable.

"Well..." Hattori Heiji responded subconsciously, "It should be for us to investigate the truth about the haunting of this place, but it seems that it is all man-made."

"Ah?" Toyama and Ye were stunned. She looked at Hattori Heiji with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, "Heiji! You didn't tell me."

"Sorry, sorry." Hattori Heiji smiled and touched his head.

Soon, he spoke again, "But I'm curious about the two people who were hanged here."

"Hang?!" Heye and Xiaolan grabbed each other's hands tightly at this moment.

Not noticing the change in Kazuya's expression, Hattori Heiji nodded, "According to my investigation, the two people who died were a pair of very good friends."

"Among them, the dead son of the head of the family here is said to have a very gentle personality. He has never had any enmity with anyone and is sincere in his treatment of others. However, he has never been accepted by outsiders."

"And the other son's friend who died often played a bad role for his friend so that others could discover the good qualities of his friend."

"On the contrary, this person has been singing in blackface for too long, and there are many people who have enemies with him."

Hattori Heiji paused when he spoke, and a look of contemplation appeared on his face, "I really can't imagine how two such people could hang here at the same time."

The answer given by the police was suicide.

"Xiaolan, do you think this story sounds like..." Mr. He felt like he couldn't say what he was thinking of.

Xiaolan was also stunned, feeling like she had heard it somewhere.

Fuchuan Meihui, who was walking behind everyone, slightly raised her lips, walked to Xiaolan's side and spoke out.

"Red Ghost."

"That's right! That's it!" Xiaolan was overjoyed and smiled at Fikawa Mie, who also smiled in response.

"Which one is it?" He Ye was stunned and looked at Xiaolan.

Xiaolan also turned to look at Kazuye, "That's it, the red ghost and the green ghost."

Speaking of the legend, Xiaolan also explained it.

"A long time ago, on a mountain, there lived a kind-hearted red ghost alone."

"Red Ghost has always wanted to make friends with humans, but humans are afraid of Red Ghost and dare not approach it."

"Until one day Aoki's friend Aoki came to visit and heard about Aoki's troubles, so he came up with an idea."

"Then Ao Oni went to the village at the foot of the mountain to cause a scene, and Ao Oni followed Ao Oni's idea and pretended to beat away the Ao Oni who was acting."

"Since then, the villagers all know that Chi Gui is a very kind person, and they all go to play with Chi Gui. Chi Gui also has many friends."

"However, Qinggui is afraid that his identity will cause the loss of the friends that Chigui finally found, and he will wander around alone."

Being reminded by Xiaolan, Heye also remembered that story.

"It really sounds like it."

After waiting for Xiaolan to finish speaking, Conan also said what he had asked about when he was with Mouri Kogoro.

"I asked about the person who disappeared that day today."

As Conan was talking, the maid leading the way paused slightly.

"Ah? Then you..." Hattori Heiji was about to ask for some information when the maid in front stopped.

The maid leaned forward, stretched out her hand, and looked in the direction where her hand was staying, only to realize that they had arrived at the restaurant.

"Please take a seat, everyone."

After she finished speaking, she took a few steps back and walked to the other side.

Two people were already seated at the dining table.

Hattori Heiji wanted to ask in his mind, but he still resisted and sat down with a few others.

There was a sound of high heels.

The next second, a familiar voice sounded.

The figure with golden twintails looked at the people in front of him with a slightly unkind expression.

Especially after a few people sat down, she snorted softly, "Why don't you leave yet? I..."

"Miss Mai."

Cugu Mai's words were interrupted by Tomikawa Mie's voice.

After looking at the smiling Fikawa Mie, she reached out to avoid hitting the smiling person. Cugu Mai still sat down, but her expression was still not very good.

As the maid served the dishes one by one, the old man sitting at the head table glanced at the butler standing next to him.

The voice was majestic, but also a little kind, "You should also sit down and eat. There are not many people at home, so there is no need to be so formal."

The housekeeper was stunned and was about to answer.

The knife and fork in Cugu Mai's hand was placed on the plate with a crisp sound.

She said, "Why can you sit at the same table with me?"
