Chapter 1050: The Ghost in the Old Apartment
On Tuesday, February 26, before evening, Otonashi Hoichi's apartment building.
Otonashi invited Mori and Conan into her apartment. Unlike the outside, the apartment was fairly tidy.
Conan asked Otonashi Yoshiichi about the incident, but Otonashi Yoshiichi only knew that there was such a murder incident, and he didn't know the specifics. Instead, he said a lot of haunting things.
Otonashi Yoshiichi said: "You can see turquoise ghosts in the windows of the building next door, there are often many will-o'-the-wisps flying around, and the water in the apartment bathroom sometimes turns red. In short, there are many strange things happening here. Even TV stations and magazines have reported it."
"You read it wrong," Maori said.
Yin Wufang said: "How is it possible, I am not the only one who saw it."
"Then why not move out of this crappy apartment?" Maori asked.
Yin Wufang said, "I've lived here for a long time, and I've gotten used to it before I know it." Then he explained, "Actually, there's a secret in it."
"What?" Mori and Conan asked together.
Yin Wufang smiled and said: "Actually, the outside is intentionally dirty, so that other people will not come here to rent a house."
"What do you mean?" Molly asked.
Yin Wufang smiled and said, "Didn't I say that? The boss here is dead."
"So what?" Conan asked.
Otonashi Fangyi smiled mysteriously: "I can't say it, I can't say it."
"..." Maori and Conan raised their triangular eyes together. Damn it, isn't this a way to stimulate people's appetite?
Otonashi asked Mori, "By the way, have you brought your wallet?"
"Huh?" Maori didn't understand.
"Ghosts won't appear until night, and it's dinner time now." Otonashi Yoshiichi said, "If you borrow my place, I won't count the rent. Treat me to dinner."
"Huh?" Maori was surprised.
Yin Wufang asked back: "Oh, what, do you want me, a lone old man who is sick and has a meager pension, to entertain you?"
Maori blinked his small eyes, "Okay, okay."
"That's right." Otonashi said with a smile, "I don't ask too much, you two, just take the 2,000-yen set meal from Kobe Ushii at Mihua Square."
"..." Maori was speechless. ...
On the other hand, on the way home.
Yamazaki and Meidaiko invite Sonoko and Ran to their house for dinner, and Sonoko and Ran agree. ...
Evening, Miyamoto's house, living room.
After dinner, Mei Daizi told Miyamoto Miko about the haunting and applied to investigate at night.
Miyamoto Miko smiled at Yamazaki: "Okay, then you guys go and investigate."
"I understand." Yamazaki smiled. ...
Before eight o'clock in the evening, Mei Dai Restaurant.
Yamazaki and Midaiko changed their waiter clothes, bid farewell to Miyamoto Ichiro and Miyamoto Miko and left.
Mei Daizi asked: "Brother, do you think it will be true this time?"
Yamazaki said: "It should be man-made."
Mei Daizi asked: "Man-made?"
Yamazaki said: "From the words of Mr. Bancho and Mr. Yotsuya, it means that the ghost has not appeared for a while, and most of the time when he appeared was when there were many people."
"What's the problem?" Mei Daizi smiled and said, "Maybe it's because the crowd made him rest, so he came out to protest."
Yamazaki asked, "Wouldn't it be quieter if we scared everyone away?"
Mei Daizi said: "Maybe he and people complement each other, too many people won't work, and too few people won't work."
"Well, I can't say no to you." Yamazaki said with some amusement, "Let's just assume that there are no ghosts in the world."
Mei Daizi smiled and said: "Well, this kind of assumption can exist."
"Assuming there are no ghosts in the world,
Then the haunting in Mr. Otonashi's apartment building is man-made. "Said Yamazaki, then shook his head and smiled wryly, "Why are these words so awkward. "
Mei Daizi laughed loudly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, brother, go ahead."
Yamazaki said: "Based on what they said, the ghost has not appeared for a while, and most of the time when he appeared was when there were many people. It takes a lot of time to do it.”
Mei Daizi stroked her chin and said, "It makes sense to say that."
Yamazaki asked: "Then the question is, why did this ghost maker do this?"
"Why, um," Mei Daizi said, "It should be to scare those people away."
Yamazaki asked, "Then why scare people away?"
"Well," Mei Daizi said, "maybe it's for publicity, so that people will know that there are ghosts there, and then attract people to visit, and they charge money." Then she laughed, "Yes, so it's a dilapidated place." It’s rotten, and they don’t decorate it, just to create an atmosphere, and it makes sense for them to stay there and not move away.” Then he asked Yamazaki, “How about it, I’m right.”
"It really makes sense." Yamazaki laughed.
Mei Daizi asked: "Is there anything else?"
"Yes." Yamazaki smiled.
Mei Daizi asked: "But what?"
Yamazaki said: "But you forgot one thing, the unsolved murder case."
Mei Daizi asked: "You mean, the man-made ghost is to make people afraid and stop going to that place?"
"It also makes sense." Yamazaki laughed, "But whether it's for publicity or to scare people, it will attract people who are looking for excitement to visit."
"That's right." Mei Daizi asked, "What is the real intention?"
Yamazaki said: "The real intention should be like this, because there are ghosts here, so no matter what strange things happen here, don't be surprised."
"Ah," Mei Daizi asked, "then what you say is to cover up something?" Then she said, "Oh, yes, the murderer, another murderer to cover up the unsolved murder."
"Since the police have arrested the murderer's companion and issued a wanted warrant, the police must know the identity and background of the murderer, and in this case, the murderer can still get away with it," Yamazaki said, "there are five possibilities, one The murderer escaped from abroad, the second is that the murderer died in a place that no one knows, the third is that a friend covered him up and hid him, the fourth is that the murderer changed his appearance and hid it, and the fifth is that what the police knew through the murderer’s companions was all fake. of."
"Fake?" Mei Daizi asked, "No way?"
Yamazaki said: "Of course, will the netizens of Sonoko still remember?"
"Well," Mei Daizi said, "So, it is true that the murderer's companion may not know the specific circumstances of the murderer."
Yamazaki said: "Leave aside the fifth possibility, and talk about your opinion."
"Since there is a man-made ghost, the murderer didn't escape, and he didn't die." Mei Daizi thought for a while and said, "The murder happened next door to the apartment building. The police must have confirmed everyone's identity, even if they changed their appearance. So soon, that is the second possible friend covering up, and the friend used haunting to help the murderer cover up his existence." Then he said, "By the way, the two murderers will commit crimes next door to the apartment building. I am afraid they know people in the apartment building. Somebody, maybe he was looking for him that night."
Yamazaki said: "Go ahead and tell me who the murderer is."...
