Tokyo Metropolitan Mental Hospital

"Ill?" Kanbara Leia's face was full of suspicion. If someone else from the high school came to say that she was sick, she would be happy to welcome in. If it was Gojo Satoru, she would put a big question mark, " Where are you sick?"

"Whatever medicine Leia has, I will have whatever disease." Wujo Satoru made no secret of his purpose of cheating medicine.

"Oh." Kanbara Leia stared at the white-haired youth blankly, "If you want medicine, first agree to be hospitalized."

Gojo Satoru glanced at the mental hospital: "No way, although Leia-chan's place is much better than before, but it's still a bit close to letting the head of the Gojo family move in..."

"Then you go to another hospital, this hospital can't cure your big Buddha." Kanbara Leia turned around after finishing speaking.

After breaking up with Yi Gu Youtai, she returned to the hospital. Apart from relaxing, she was also thinking about countermeasures. The progress of the game was stuck on the patient’s refusal to cooperate. Nine out of ten questions to the game’s AI were answered: Please explore by yourself...

She has been to all the colleges where the patient is located, and if she explores further, should she agree to the patient's request to join the college?

Kanbara Leia shook her head, throwing this idea out, she would never join the high school - the organization of madmen!

"Leia-chan, don't be so indifferent." Gojo Satoru began to raise conditions, "I will exchange the special mission of the high school."

Kanbara Leia glanced at her data card.

She is now at level 66. If there are a few more special-grade spell spirits, it is estimated that she can hit level 80. Thinking of this, she is a little bit moved, but seeing the empty wards below, she starts to feel stuck again...

"No need." Kanbara Leia refused, "Unless you agree to be hospitalized."

She doesn't believe that the hospital can't open yet?

"That's a pity." Gojo Satoru regretted, "Before I came out today, the high school received a special task. If Leia-chan refuses, I will let Yi Gu handle it..."

Kanbara Leia pretended not to hear, so she wouldn't be tempted by a mere special magic spirit...

Gojo Satoru smiled, and just as he was about to continue bewitching, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.He took it out and saw that it was Yidizhi Jiegao calling.

"Senior Wutiao, window Xin sent back information that many people suddenly went to the deserted villa where a super magic spirit was suspected to have appeared, it seems to be a group of detectives..."

Gojo Satoru's expression turned serious, and he said, "Tell me the specific address."

Hanging up the phone, Gojo Satoru knocked on the door of the mental hospital: "Leia-chan, there is a little emergency. A group of detectives suddenly broke into the location of the special magic spirit, and they need to be dealt with immediately. If you still refuse, I have to leave oh."

detective?In the past few days, she has heard things related to detectives several times, once outside the movie theater, listening to Edogawa Conan discussing with a teenager, once listening to the waiter at the Poirot Cafe, and now it is about the high school mission relationship.Is this an important plot line?

"Wait." Kanbara Leia called Gojo Satoru, who was about to teleport, "I want to go together."

The old villa in front of me looks like a product of the last century. The exterior walls are mottled and mottled, leaving many traces of erosion by wind and rain.

Edogawa Ranbu paused for a moment before knocking on the door.

The person who opened the door was an old man with gray hair and wearing butler clothes.

"I'm Edogawa Ranpo." Edogawa Ranpo first introduced himself, and then said, "I forgot to bring the invitation letter..."

In fact, it’s not that I forgot to bring it, but that I didn’t intend to be invited at the beginning, so I stayed in Yokohama.

The old housekeeper looked at Edogawa Ranpo twice, and said, "You are Mr. Detective from Yokohama, please come in."

Edogawa Ranpo also took a good look at the old butler, and followed the old butler into the villa. Although the outside of the villa was old, the inside was cleaned very clean.

Since he came late, several detectives had already gathered in the villa, sitting around a long table.

"Unsolved cases, detective competitions, and high bonuses. The gentleman who attracted us with these three things, should you tell us your purpose?" Hattori Heiji said.

"Please wait a moment, let me serve a cup of coffee to the newcomer." The old butler looked very calm, and went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee for the newcomer Edogawa Ranpo.

Edogawa Conan recognized Edogawa Ranpo at a glance. He had seen him in the Poirot Cafe before, and he had met him once in Yokohama...

"Where are you a detective from?" Hattori Heiji asked curiously, "It looks a bit unfamiliar."

Toru Amuro, father and daughter Mori who were present also looked at him curiously.

"Yokohama." Edogawa Ranpo replied briefly, most of his mind was used to observe the environment in the villa.

"I'm Hattori Heiji from Osaka." Hattori Heiji asked again, "What's your name?"

"Edogawa."

"It's the same surname as Conan." Mao Lilan said.

Edogawa Conan smiled: "It should be a coincidence."

Edogawa ran to an empty seat and began to add sugar to his coffee.

"Did you see anything?" Hattori Heiji asked everyone.

"I don't think there's anything special about it except that it's been cleaned very well." Mori Kogoro yawned bored.

"It's special because it's so clean," Amuro said.

"That's right." Hattori Heiji answered, "Also, although the furniture here is well maintained, the styles are all in the style of the last century."

"No one usually lives here." Edogawa Conan continued, "It's just that someone will clean it regularly."

"Am I right, grandpa housekeeper?"

The old butler nodded.

"Now let's talk about your purpose." Hattori Heiji said again, "Or are there other detectives coming?"

The old butler suddenly stood at attention and bowed deeply to the people present: "I take the liberty to invite you all over here, because I want you to uphold justice for my master."

"What happened to your master?" Hattori Heiji asked.

"My grandfather died of an overdose of sleeping pills 12 years ago."

"Isn't the case judged to be suicide?" Edogawa Conan said. Although there were some suspicions in the comments on the Internet, it was indeed judged to be suicide at the time.

"Master didn't commit suicide." The old butler was very sure.

The detectives present looked at each other, and Toru Amuro asked, "How are you sure? Is there any evidence?"

"Although the master is dead, his soul still stays in this villa." The old housekeeper looked at the empty hall of the villa with hot eyes, "I can feel that the master is here, and the master must have been wronged."

Everyone: "..."

"How can a person have a soul after death?" Mouri Kogoro said, "I think it's probably your illusion."

"It's not an illusion. Every time I tidy up the master's things, it feels particularly obvious, as if the master is watching me." The old butler's tone was very firm.

Everyone looked at each other, and Hattori Heiji said, "If you say that, we can't help you. Why don't you tell me what happened back then?"

Hearing what Hattori Heiji said, the old butler looked up towards the second floor of the villa: "13 years ago, when my wife was still there, my master suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and my memory often made mistakes."

"On the wedding anniversary, the master forgot that he was married to his wife. When he saw his wife, he wanted to propose to her."

"Madam also cooperated, pretending that she hasn't married the master yet, the master prepared happily, and even went to the jewelry store to pick out a ring in person, and said that he would give Madam a surprise when he came back."

"In those few days, the master often wanted to surprise his wife. I asked curiously, but the master didn't say anything until the wedding anniversary..."

Having said that, the old housekeeper stopped, his expression seemed a little melancholy.

"What happened next?" Mori Kogoro asked.

"On the wedding anniversary, the master had already gone to the wife's room, but he suddenly came out and said that the clothes were wrong. The master was not satisfied until I found out the suit that the master and his wife wore when they got married.

But after the clothes were changed, the master said that the ring could not be found, and he was anxious to look for it everywhere.I knew that it was probably forgotten by the master after putting it there, so I helped to find it together. "

The old butler stopped again and sighed: "Master and I didn't find the ring, and madam... Madam has been suffering from heart disease, and it just happened that day. Master and I were too busy looking for the ring, so we didn't find it immediately. Madam was already dead when she was discovered, and she was wearing the ring that the master used to propose marriage before she died..."

"I think...the master probably forgot the ring after he gave it to his wife. If I could have noticed this earlier..." The old housekeeper's expression became self-blaming.

Everyone was silent at the same time, waiting for the old butler to calm down.

After a long time, the old housekeeper said again: "After the madam passed away, I thought the master would be devastated, but I didn't think that the master hadn't changed at all. He also said...that the madam was by his side and never left..."

"Master had hallucinations, so as not to hurt him, I didn't expose it." Speaking of this, the old housekeeper's expression changed again, "But Madam's younger sister blamed Madam's death on Master, insisting that Master killed her. lady."

"Madam's younger sister came to the door several times to accuse the master. If the master hadn't hallucinated that Madam was still there, I'm afraid he would have been hit hard."

"Later, on the wedding anniversary of the second year, that is, 12 years ago, the master once again forgot that he was married to his wife, and wanted to propose to his wife."

The expression of the old housekeeper fell into reminiscence, "At that time, everything was the same as 13 years ago. The master also prepared a ring, and said that after the proposal was successful, he would take his wife out to eat Western food, and asked me to book a seat in advance."

"Master, don't let anyone disturb you. I waited on the first floor, but I didn't wait for the master to come down for a long time. When I went upstairs, I found that the master had already..." The old butler didn't finish speaking, but everyone understood the ending.

"The madam's younger sister also came over that day, and after learning about the master's situation, she was still sarcastic." The old housekeeper looked up at the detectives present, and said his speculation, "I think the master's death must have something to do with the madam's sister."

The old butler's words were just one-sided words, and the truth still needs to be investigated. With the old butler's consent, several detectives began to search for clues in the villa.

First of all, what the old housekeeper said was the room of the master and his wife. According to the old housekeeper's description, after the death of the wife, the master did not allow anyone to touch her room, so the room remained as it was more than ten years ago, and the same is true of the master's room.

The old butler said that the master and his family were kind to him, so even though he was already the owner of the villa, he didn't want to erase the traces of the existence of the master and his wife.

"Do the master and wife here always sleep in separate rooms?" During the investigation, Hattori Heiji asked the old housekeeper.

"Master's memory often has problems, and sometimes he forgets that he is married, so I prepared a separate bedroom for the master, and the wife's room was originally the bedroom of the master and the wife." The old housekeeper explained.

In the corridor, Toru Amuro looked at Edogawa Ranbu who was looking around, and asked curiously, "You seem to be more interested in the environment here than in the case?"

"I already know the result." Edogawa Ranpo said.

Toru Amuro was a little surprised: "What was the result?"

"suicide."

"Have you found evidence?"

Edogawa Ranpo didn't answer, he was thinking, his father should have known the truth back then, why didn't he announce it?

In the other room, Edogawa Conan opened the drawer to check and took out a red box. He was about to open the box to check when a gust of cool wind blew from behind him. He turned his head and saw Hattori Heiji opened the window .

"What are you looking at?"

"I'm looking to see if someone climbed up to the room on the second floor through the window and committed murder," Hattori Heiji said.

Conan Edogawa walked to the window and looked at it: "The lady's younger sister should be in her 50s more than ten years ago, right?"

"If you use props, you should be able to do it, but it's been too long, and it's hard to find traces."

Edogawa Conan opened the box, and there was a ring inside. The two found the old housekeeper, and after asking, they learned that this ring was the one bought on the second wedding anniversary.

"What about the first one?" Edogawa Conan asked.

"Madam disappeared after she died." The old housekeeper said, "Maybe she was taken somewhere by the master."

"There is one thing I want to ask." Hattori Heiji said suddenly, "It's been so long, why do you suddenly want to investigate?"

"To be honest, I am sick and may not live for two years, but the master has been kind to me. If the master and his wife hadn't taken me in back then, I would have died in poverty on the street. So before I die, I want to help Master find out the truth."

The old butler looked around the villa, and said, "There is also a demolition plan here. If we can't find out now, we will never have another chance..."

"I think the master must also think so, otherwise the master's soul will not appear recently."

Edogawa Conan: "..."

Hattori Heiji:"……"

The two ignored the unscientific part and continued to search for other clues.

"There are so many rooms here." Mori Kogoro looked around and said, "I don't see anything suspicious, and the result is probably what the police investigated."

"But isn't it strange that the master asked the housekeeper to order a restaurant before he died?" Mao Lilan asked.

"The butler also said that the old man has a memory problem, so he may have forgotten it," said Mori Kogoro.

Hattori Heiji and Conan went to the wife's room to check again. The layout and size of the room were similar to the master's room, but the color was warmer.

There is a water glass on the bedside table, which should be used by the owner during his lifetime. Next to the water glass is a desk calendar. The date stays on April 13, 4 years ago. A love heart is drawn on it with a red pen. It should be the wedding anniversary in the mouth of the old housekeeper. day.

In addition, there is a photo frame, which is a pair of lovers standing side by side and head to head...

Hattori Heiji picked it up, looked at it, and said, "The relationship between the two should be very good. Why does the lady's sister say that the master killed the lady?"

Edogawa Conan rubbed his chin in thought.

"Hey, Kudo, do you feel that the temperature here is lower than outside?" Hattori Heiji asked suddenly, "This is obviously a sunny room."

Edogawa Conan glanced out the window: "Maybe the weather is not very good today."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Hattori Heiji, "Can you pay attention, don't always call me Kudo."

"Okay, okay, Conan, Conan can do it." Hattori Heiji immediately changed his words, "Did you find anything?"

Conan Edogawa looked at the bedside table again, but before he could speak, there was a sudden exclamation from downstairs, and the two of them ran down quickly.

The lobby on the first floor was a bit chaotic. A bat came from nowhere and was flying around. Kogoro Mori dragged his coat and tried to drive it away.

"What happened to sister Xiaolan?" Edogawa Conan asked.

"It flew out of the fireplace suddenly." Mao Lilan explained.

Maybe it was frightened, the bats flew around the hall, and were driven to the door several times, but suddenly turned sharply, as if blocked by some invisible thing.

"Damn it, what's going on with this bat?" Mori Kogoro complained.

Amuro opened all the windows again, and the bat finally flew out through one of the open windows.

After solving the bat, everyone calmed down.

Hattori Heiji held the photo frame in his hand and asked the old butler, "What is the ring on the wife's hand in the photo?"

"It was worn by the master and his wife when they got married, but after the master forgot, the lady took off the ring to cooperate. The ring should still be kept in the lady's drawer." The old housekeeper explained.

"Grandpa housekeeper, can you tell me in detail what happened when Madam passed away?" Edogawa Conan asked immediately.

Generally, people suffering from heart disease should have emergency medicine by their side, and the water cup on the bedside table should also be prepared for the convenience of taking medicine. If it is too late to rescue and die, it is a bit suspicious no matter how you look at it.

"Madam..." The old housekeeper sighed again, "Master and I searched for the ring for a long time that day, but we couldn't find it, so the master went to Madam's room and found Madam lying on the ground..."

"Has the housekeeper been there all the time?" Edogawa Conan asked again.

The old butler shook his head: "I was packing up the things I messed up when I was looking for the ring. When I passed by, I only saw the master holding the madam's medicine and trying to feed it to the madam, but the madam is not breathing... the madam has not responded. The master was so stimulated that he passed out."

"At that time, I was still thinking about what to do when the master woke up, but I didn't want the master to wake up and say that the wife is not dead, and has been with him all the time. He didn't even attend the funeral of the wife. It was all arranged by the wife's younger sister. ..."

"Are those medicines still there?" Edogawa Conan asked again.

The old butler was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's in the master's study."

"Can you show us?"

"I'll get it."

At the long table, Toru Amuro looked at the young man holding a coffee cup and asked, "You didn't come here just for the case, did you?"

Edogawa Ranpo glanced at the blond youth.

Toru Amuro continued: "Your name is Edogawa. If I guess correctly, it should have some relationship with the police officer who handled this case."

Hearing Amuro Toru's words, everyone looked at Edogawa Ranpo, and Edogawa Ranpo did not deny it: "It's my father."

"So, did you come to a conclusion in advance because you knew something in advance?" Toru Amuro asked again.

Edogawa ranpo shook his head: "My conclusion is based on the situation in the villa."

After speaking, he took out a pair of black-rimmed glasses, looked at the detectives present and asked, "Do you need me to reason for you?"

At this time, the old butler came down from upstairs, and he put away his glasses again, looking in the direction of Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan: "I should not be needed anymore."

The old housekeeper brought the medicine to Edogawa Conan: "The master held this box of medicine in his hand before he died, so I put it together with the master's things during his lifetime."

When Conan saw the pill box, his mind went smooth, and he was about to grab something...

"Ah chirp!" Mori Kogoro sneezed suddenly. He took off his coat just now to drive away the bats and sweated again. Even though he put on his clothes again at this time, he still felt cold. He knocked on the fireplace and said, "You guys here The environment is really cold, can this stove still work?"

"I don't usually live here, and the stove hasn't been used for a long time." The old housekeeper explained.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound in the fireplace, and then a dozen bats flew out.

Kogoro Mori, who was standing by the fireplace, was the first to bear the brunt. When he dodged, he bumped into the table. The photo frame that was originally on the table fell to the ground and broke, and the photo fell out and was stepped on...

Due to the coldness in the room, after driving away the bats, the doors and windows were closed again. At this time, more than a dozen bats were flying around in the airtight hall, making people dazzled.

Amuro got up and wanted to open the door and window to drive away the bats, but before he got to the door, the sky suddenly seemed to be gloomy, and the air became extremely dull, making it hard to breathe.

"What's going on?" Mao Lilan supported her chest, "I suddenly feel very uncomfortable..."

"Xiaolan..." Edogawa Conan wanted to go there, but his situation was not much better.

The people in the villa fell into a state of suffocation at the same time, and fell down one by one...

There was a time delay between finding out from the window and delivering the news. When Gojo Satoru and Kanbara Leia rushed over, what they saw was a villa wrapped in a thick curse.

The two broke through the door directly, and a human-shaped curse spirit floated in the air in the villa. The hair of the curse spirit was scattered all over the hall, and the people in the villa had already been wrapped into silkworm chrysalis by their hair.

【Curse Spirit】

【Name: Akita Ya】

【Age: Unknown】

[Grade: Premium lv42 (1314/42000)]

[Favourability: 0 points]

[Type: Born of the Curse of Love]

[Suggestion: Move with emotion and understand with reason. 】

After confirming the level of the curse spirit, Leia Kanbara immediately gave an order: "Xiao Hei, stop her."

Xiao Hei controls the curse spirit, and Kanbara Leia and Gojo Satoru start to save people.

Kamihara Leia cut off the curse spirit's hair with a silver-toothed dagger, and the hair spread out, revealing a young man with blond hair and dark skin.

Toru Amuro has received special training to hold his breath for a period of time, which is completely within the tolerance range. As soon as his hair was loosened, he woke up with two light coughs.

He was not surprised to see Kamihara Leia.

Kanbara Leia helped someone to the door, and Toru Amuro held onto the door frame and said, "I'm fine, you go and save the others."

Leia Kanbara turned back to the villa, and Toru Amuro took out his mobile phone and called the emergency number.

During this period, Gojo Satoru rescued the unconscious old housekeeper and Edogawa Conan, and he carried them into the yard.

Kamibara Leia cut another chrysalis, this time it was a black-haired young man in a brown coat.

"Ranpo?" Kanbara Leia was surprised to see Edogawa Ranpo here, but she didn't have time to think about it, so she picked up the sleeping man and helped him to the yard outside.

Amuro Toru, who finished the phone call, stepped forward to pick up the person, and Leia Kanbara let go, but someone grabbed the corner of her clothes suddenly. The black-haired young man woke up at some point, his lips moved slightly, and spit out a syllable :"West……"

what?Kanbara Leia looked towards the west where the sun was setting.

"Leave it to me." Toru Amuro said.

Kamibara Leia nodded, took out her clothes from the black-haired young man, and returned to the villa to continue saving people.

"Let's rest here first, the ambulance will come soon." Toru Amuro comforted Edogawa Ranpo.

Edogawa Ranpo looked at the back of the girl leaving, and murmured: "Celia..."

Through the descriptions of Osamu Dazai and others, plus what he learned after he arrived in Tokyo, he had a guess about the identity of Leia Kanbara. When he saw the real person at this time, he could conclude that the girl was the mayor they were looking for...
