The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Faced with Toru Amuro's proposal, Qin Zhibo thought for a moment.

Regarding ghosts, Qin Zhibo certainly believed in their existence, otherwise he would not have the skill of spiritualism.

Ghosts, or apparitions.

The existence of ghosts is revealed in the first chapter of "The Secret of Worms" by Ludwig Pulin.

But Qin Zhibo has never seen a "wild ghost" with his own eyes.

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

Qin Zhibo turned to look at Hui Yuan Ai, "Do you want to go?"

Hui Yuarai's eyes were complicated, he thought for a moment and nodded silently.

At this time, the old man Otonashi glanced at Qin Zhibo and said expressionlessly: "I seem to have seen your face in the newspaper. Is it the famous detective who is very famous recently?"

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

Qin Zhibo smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, just think of it as helping a friend's patient for free."

The friend Qin Zhibo calls is, of course, Aso Miki.

…

Old Otonashi's home is not too far from Shinde Hospital, only a twenty-minute walk away.

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

The apartment building faces a small park and is next to a half-finished building.

The developer ran away?

The old man Otonashi stopped in front of the apartment, looked at the park opposite and said, "The girl's body was the charred body found in this park. It was burned to the point where it was impossible to tell who it was."

"As for the unfinished building next to the apartment, it has been left like this since the owner who won the bid wrapped it up with a plastic sheet and committed suicide here. No one dares to take over it anymore."

"And the foundation of this apartment building was originally a cemetery."

After listening to what Old Man Otonashi said, Qin Zhibo nodded, understanding.

The unfinished building where the boss committed suicide, the charred corpse of a woman in the park, and the cemetery as its foundation are full of debuffs.

If Conan were to visit again, the price of this piece of land would truly hit rock bottom.

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

The two people came here for the same purpose, which was to see the ghost with their own eyes.

Toru Amuro wanted to see the ghost because of the strange scenes 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.

Old Otonashi's words about the charred corpses of women reminded Haibara Ai of her sister, because Miyano Akemi was also killed by Gin, and Gin is still at large.

If ghosts who cannot be reincarnated 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 chance, Haibara Ai does not want to give up.

And even people like Qin Zhibo believe in mysticism, does Bao Buqi really exist?

…

Under the leadership of old man Otonashi, several people changed into slippers and walked into the entrance hall.

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

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

"It's not simple. I thought the haunting incident in this apartment had faded into memory. I didn't expect anyone to come and watch the fun."

"It seems like there will be another good show tonight."

There is a shadow on the man's face, his angular eyes and a somewhat sad nose make his appearance score destined not to be too high.

Qin Zhibo looked at the top of the man's head. His name was Banmachi Kikuji, a 34-year-old toy model maker.

"A good show?" Toru Amuro was confused.

Banmachi Kikuji showed a weird smile and said in a strange tone: "Yes, don't they often say that the more people there are in a place, the more serious the haunting will be?"

After saying that, he pushed open the dirt-covered glass entrance door and left.

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

Qin Zhibo and Toru Amuro were indifferent to this, but Haihara Ai had a hint of retreat in his heart.

Compared to ghosts that sound illusory, Haihara Ai still doesn't want to see some actual terrifying images.

"Little sister, it's still too late to quit now." Old man Otonashi noticed the timidity in Haihara Ai's eyes.

But before Haiyuan Ai could answer, another character appeared on the stage.

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

"It's been so boring lately. I hope the ghosts will come out soon~"

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

He stared at everyone, his mouth trembled slightly with unknown meaning, and walked straight into the toilet opposite.

"Who is this?" Toru Amuro asked proactively.

"He is Mr. Yotsuya who lives in Room 2. He is obsessed with special photography, and the room is filled with those kinds of video tapes." 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 and one of his college classmates once used videotape to shoot a ghost film with this apartment as the background. I don't know if he is willing to let us see it."

A voice suddenly interrupted him. When he looked up, he saw a man dressed neatly and neatly.

"That kind of thing is not worth watching at all."

"Taking those phantoms that don't exist as a theme is simply an extremely stupid idea and extremely absurd."

"Ah" 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 politely: "You want to dance with ghosts. It's none of my business, but I just ask you not to make too much noise."

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

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

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

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

"The other two people may just like the atmosphere here."

At this point, Qin Zhibo has probably figured out the composition of the people here.

There were four people in total, a very familiar configuration.

All it takes is one Conan.
