The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"Xiao An, Xiao Ai, are you two hungry?"

"I'll go to the 24-hour convenience store outside to buy some food, and you two will continue investigating."

After Qin Zhibo reminded them, their stomachs started to grumble in protest.

However, Haibara Ai didn't want to stay with Amuro Toru and wanted to chase after him, but Qin Zhibo had already rubbed oil on his soles and slipped away.

There was no other way, Haibara Ai could only look back at Toru Amuro, who was thinking.

It is strange to say that Haiyuan Ai can detect the breath of organization members from this dark-skinned man. This cannot be denied.

But as long as you stay with him for a long time, this breath will be very weak and you can hardly "smell" it.

So now strictly speaking, Haibara Ai is not so afraid of Amuro Toru.

In addition, Haihara Ai had previously analyzed based on his own reason and experience that Amuro Toru lurked around Qin Zhibo as an assistant, and it was probably not for her.

Based on the organization's behavior, it will not lurk around the target for a long time because there is no need.

Therefore, this man named Toru Amuro is most likely just looking for a serious identity to cover himself, just like Miyano Akemi also worked as an ordinary bank employee.

However, Haihara Ai later found out that Miyano Akemi was trying to rob a bank to redeem herself.

While Haibara was feeling sad and suspicious, Amuro Toru's voice came from the stairs.

"Little sister, you have to go downstairs."

"Don't get separated."

Toru Amuro's attitude towards this elementary school student who is sometimes naive and sometimes profound is cautious.

Haibara Ai glanced at Toru Amuro, did not answer, and followed silently with his little hands behind his back.

Toru Amuro: It’s getting deep again

…

Of course, when Qin Zhibo walked out of the apartment building, he didn't really go to the convenience store to buy food.

At least not right away.

Spiritualism will summon some weird things, and of course this scene cannot be seen by others.

So Qin Zhibo wanted to find a quiet place without being disturbed.

He looked around. The small park opposite the apartment seemed pretty good.

But there may be passers-by passing by in the park late at night. If the famous detective is caught channeling, there will be news in the newspapers tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

except the park

Qin Zhibo glanced at the unfinished building next to the apartment.

…

In the apartment, Toru Amuro was planning to conduct a survey and visit one by one.

Some people used anesthetic gases such as ether to keep themselves and others here, and also used phenolphthalein reagent to change the color to show off. This is already Chi Guoguo's provocative behavior.

Since you sincerely issued the challenge, then I must expose you!

Although Toru Amuro may not be able to see the real ghost, which makes Toru Amuro feel a little disappointed, the other party's provocation has seriously aroused his competitive spirit.

A confident smile flashed across his face, and then Toru Amuro knocked on the door of the first tenant's room with Haibara Ai.

This is Room 2. The Yotsuya Toad Man who lives here opens the door.

Toru Amuro explained his purpose of coming, and Yotsuya did not resist and invited Toru Amuro and Haibara Ai in.

"Yes, I have seen it."

"The will-o'-the-wisps in the building next door are sometimes red and sometimes cyan, but I've only seen that scene in the seniors' room upstairs."

As he spoke, Yotsuya opened the window and pointed out the room upstairs for Toru Amuro.

"But since the senior saw the will-o'-the-wisp, he was so frightened that he moved away quickly. On the contrary, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep, gurgling."

Yotsuya chuckled. It could be seen that he was indeed not afraid of ghosts and the like, and the senior who collaborated with him in the ghost film belonged to Ye Gong Haolong.

During the questioning process, Toru Amuro quietly looked around the room to see if there were any phenolphthalein reagents or ether reagents.

The pretender didn’t know that Qin Zhibo saw through these two tricks right away, so he probably didn’t have time to fix it.

But in the room, most of the equipment related to photography is placed, including cameras, film, horror-themed magazines and posters, and discs.

With her hands behind her back, Haihara Ai picked up the magazine on the top of the pile of horror magazines, and there was a title with a horror tone.

"Doctor Frankenstein: The Resurrection of the Dead"

Hui Yuan Ai frowned, scorned the pseudoscientific title, and put the magazine back.

In addition to the various miscellaneous items, there is a specially built shed in the corner of the room, covered with a black plastic sheet.

“Excuse me, what is this?”

Yotsuya smiled slightly, "This is a simple darkroom I built. I can usually develop some simple photos in it, so I don't have to go to school frequently."

"Can I go in and take a look?" Toru Amuro said in an extremely official tone.

Yotsuya, who was broad-minded and fat, didn't care and even opened the door curtain himself.

"Please come in."

Entering the small darkroom, the space inside is so dim that only the dark red light can distinguish the placement of items.

There were films and photos hanging on one side of the wall, but Toru Amuro stretched out his head to take a look and found that the contents of the photos were all boring, and they were basically taken at the unfinished building next to the apartment.

"Excuse me, why do you take so many photos of unfinished buildings?"

Yotsuya smiled mysteriously, grinning to the limit, "Actually, I'm currently studying 'ghost photography'."

"Ghost photography?" Toru Amuro asked in confusion.

At the mention of this, Yotsuya's expression became even more excited, even a little oozing under the red light.

"The technique of photographing ghosts first originated in the mid-19th century when a photographer named 'William Muller' invented this technique."

"Ghost photography can capture the appearance of ghosts in the form of mist. It is a very great technology!"

Yotsuya talks a lot, and Toru Amuro doesn’t know anything about ghost photography.

Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, became obsessed with ghost photography in his later years. He even ended his long-standing friendship with the magician Harry Houdini because of his stance on ghost photography.

It sounds a bit ridiculous that the author who created the world's first detective character actually believed in ghosts, and even wrote a special article "Ghost Photography Case" to justify this.

But Conan Doyle lost his son in his later years, and his son died in the war. This was also a way for him to express his grief that had nowhere to go.

Later, ghost photography technology was overturned by academic circles.

The photographer used multiple exposure and composite printing techniques to "create" ghosts, coupled with the information barriers of photography technology at the time, to create this hoax.

People at that time believed that photos could not be modified and that they were real as soon as they were taken.

But in fact, photo editing technology has been around for about the same time as photo taking technology.

Later, with the advancement of science and technology, ghost photography became difficult to achieve.

Toru Amuro didn't expect that this college student named Yotsuya was secretly studying this "technology" that had been abandoned for hundreds of years.

Seeing the doubt in Amuro Toru's eyes, Yotsuya smiled evilly.

"By the way. Do you want to see the ghost photos I took?"
