Chapter 0144: Sigh in the Basement
Friday, June 14, morning, Didan Elementary School.
During the recess, Ayumi said, "Conan, you can also go with us and go destroy the youkai." ”
"Eliminate youkai?" Conan asked rhetorically.
"Forget it, Ayumi," said Motota, "even if you go to Conan, he won't be able to help." ”
"However, it's only the words ......of Genta and me," Ayumi said.
Conan asked, "So, where exactly are the youkai you're talking about?"
Ayumi replied, "It's in the old bungalow in 4-chome." Then he explained, "It is said that after the owner of the house was killed by someone five years ago, the house became very terrifying, and his wife and his son seemed to have moved away, and then the house was occupied by evil spirits, and in the middle of the night a terrible sigh was heard, and the dog that accidentally ran in was found the next day, and only a pile of bones remained." Then he said in fear, "When I went out to buy soy sauce yesterday evening, I found a dark shadow running near the old bungalow, and when I followed the old bungalow, he was gone, and then I saw it through the window of the house, and there was a ghost in the house." He screamed loudly, startling Conan.
Seeing this, Ayumi smiled and asked, "How is it, are you starting to get scared?"
I'm so scared of you, Conan thought to himself, it rained heavily yesterday evening, and the black shadow was running over in a raincoat.
"That kind of thing is deceiving," Mitsuhiko said with a smile as he sat in his seat, "In this age of science, the so-called monsters or ghosts can only appear on TV or in manga. ”
"What?" walked over and slammed his fist on the desk, and Motota asked, "What do you mean by that, do you mean Ayumi is lying?"
"No, it's not," Mitsuhiko quickly argued, "I mean she'......"
"Don't say it," Motota said, staring at Mitsuhiko, "Since you say so, then you have to come together to prove the fact that there are no yokai in the world." Then he grabbed Mitsuhiko by the collar and lifted Mitsuhiko up, threatening, "If you dare not come and follow, kid ......"
"Huh?" Mitsuhiko asked rhetorically, "I'm going too." ”
Seeing that Yuanta brought one, Ayumi asked, "Conan, you should believe what I say, right?"
"......Ahh
With her hands pressed on Conan's desk, Ayumi asked, "Isn't it?"
"Yes. Conan hurriedly replied.
The head of the Yuan Tai regiment said: "Very good, go back in the afternoon to make preparations, we will gather at the door of the old bungalow at five o'clock." ”
Ayumi excitedly exclaimed, "Oh!" and raised four hands in agreement. Ayumi grabbed Conan and Mitsuhiko's hands and helped them lift them up together.
Conan carefully estimated the time, and if he gathered at five o'clock, he should be able to explore it at six o'clock. So he said to Ran and Mei Daizi, and went empty-handed.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, at the door of the old bungalow in 4-chome.
Because it was a cloudy day, it was already dark at this time, looking at the overgrown yard, the house full of plants, and listening to the crow of Tokyo's specialty, the head of the detective group, Motota, the member of the group, Ayumi and the group member Mitsuhiko, swallowed their saliva in unison.
In order to cheer up, the head of the Yuan Tai group asked everyone to show off their respective guys. Motota brought a metal bat to destroy monsters, Ayumi brought a pack of snacks to fill her stomach, and Mitsuhiko had a flashlight for everyone and a compass that wouldn't get lost.
Ayumi asked, "Conan, what about you?"
With his hands in the pockets of his suit shorts, Conan said, "Uh, I wasn't prepared. ”
"Huh?" said Genta, "you don't know how you're going to die." ”
"That's it," Ayumi said, "I'll be killed if I take it lightly." ”
"I'm trying not to die. Conan laughed dryly, thinking, do these guys think they are going to the Demon King's castle?
After packing up their gear, the detective group that transferred to the adventure group embarked on the road of adventure.
However, as soon as he started his adventure, he was stumped, the gate of the yard was locked and could not be opened, and no one had yet learned the skill of unlocking. However, the commander of the reconnaissance group, who had already practiced this skill to the full level, led the adventuring group to drill through a large hole with a flap found under the courtyard wall overgrown with tall grass.
Opening the door and seeing that the house was dark and feeling eerie, Ayumi said, "Well, it's better to go back, you see, it's starting to rain." ”
"No, I'm already here, how can I go back like this. Yuan Tai said, "It's better to go back to Ayumi alone." ”
At this time, the lightning flashed, and there was a thunder in the sky, and Ayumi rushed in screaming, then hit something, fell to the ground, sat up and looked at it, and immediately screamed again.
"Ha ......" ran over to take a look, and Mitsuhiko smiled, "Look clearly, this demon is just a carving." ”
Pulling Ayumi up from the ground and flashlighting, the adventure party officially began their adventure.
As she walked, Ayumi said, "It's true, but it's just a fall, and your hands are covered with mud." ”
Mitsuhiko said, "Because it has been uninhabited for a long time, there is dust everywhere on the floor. ”
After walking for a while, Ayumi found the bathroom and cleaned her hands with water at the sink.
Packed up his mood and walked for a while, Yuanta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko were promoted to each other, Motota was promoted from a civilian to a brave, Ayumi was promoted from a civilian to a very cute female warrior, Mitsuhiko was promoted from a civilian to a shrewd magician, as for Conan, since no one promoted him, he didn't even get involved in the thieves who explored the way and unlocked the lock, so he could only continue to change jobs, and became an important role that was not considered a partner, a villager who provided information.
A moment later, the door in front of me suddenly squeaked. The three brave men immediately hid behind the villagers and commanded the villagers to take the lead in investigating the information.
The four of them hid behind the door and looked inside, and the shrewd magician Mitsuhiko walked in first and said, "Ah, I see, because of the wind, the window opened naturally. Then he stepped forward and closed the window, and said with a smile, "I think the true face of the youkai is probably this kind of thing." ”
The cute female warrior Ayumi immediately praised: "Mitsuhiko, you seem to be a detective. ”
"Ah, I want to go to the bathroom," Mitsuhiko smiled embarrassedly, "Please wait for me here, I'll be back right away." ”
Ayumi asked, "Can you be alone?"
"It's okay," Mitsuhiko smiled, "Science and logic are my companions." ”
Turning around the room, Yuan Tai said, "This house is so big. ”
Looking around at the furnishings in the room, Ayumi said, "It must have been a very rich person before. ”
Touching the floor, touching around, Conan probed around the room.
However, after a long time, Mitsuhiko, who said that in this era of science, there would be no existence of those demons and monsters, still did not return.
Ayumi said, "Mitsuhiko, he's so slow. ”
Conan, who had finished exploring the house, took out his watch, looked at it, and said, "It's been twenty minutes." ”
The brave Yuan Tai sat on the ground and gloated and said, "That guy can't have an accident." ”
At this time, an exclamation sounded, it was Mitsuhiko's voice, and the three of Conan immediately went to look for it. However, he didn't find it for a while, and Conan was anxious, so he asked Genta and Ayumi to hide in a nearby room and went to find it alone.
It was strange, Conan thought to himself, why the water source had not been stopped since the incident, and the room with the window open was not exposed to the wind and rain, and there was no dust on the floor, that is, the window had only been opened recently, and someone had cleaned the room. Also, a secret entrance was created in an unobtrusive place, which was used by people to enter and exit the house, but who was it and what was the purpose?
Running into a room, Conan found a picture frame that was closed upside down, and when he picked it up, it was a family photo of a middle-aged couple and a young son.
At this time, another exclamation came, it was Yuantai's. Conan immediately went back to look for them, found Ayumi sitting on the floor of the aisle shivering, and immediately covered her mouth and pulled her to the fork in the road.
A moment later, something trembling came to Rang Bumei, and it turned out to be a middle-aged woman in a black robe holding a candle and pushing a dining cart, the black robe and a hat, so that her face was hidden in the darkness.
When she walked over, Conan asked, it turned out that the brave Yuan was hungry, and after eating most of the snacks, he followed the sudden smell of food and went to the middle-aged woman, and then did not come back.
When the middle-aged woman turned the corner, Conan immediately chased after Ayumi with him, but at the end of the corridor where there was no room nearby, the people and food were gone, leaving only an empty food truck.
After looking carefully, he found a cover, but no matter how hard Conan tried, he couldn't pull it up, so he stood up and clapped his hands, and inadvertently touched the strap, and Conan immediately smiled. This is a telescopic strap sent by Dr., as long as the button is pressed, the rubber strap can be automatically retracted to its pulling force......
Attaching one end of the telescopic strap to the lampholder on the wall, Conan pressed the button, and the lid was immediately pulled up, revealing a passage to the underground.
After going down, Conan and Ayumi discover that there is an iron-barred prison cell underground, and a long-haired man is sitting on the bed inside.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Conan and Ayumi immediately hid on the side of a cabinet on the opposite side of the door.
Hearing the man's cry of pain, a middle-aged woman with food came in and said, "It's really painful, but it's all five years ago, forget about it." Because no matter how much pain you suffer, the dead will not come back. ”
Did she mean the master who was killed, and if so, Conan thought to himself, these two men were ......
"Alright, you can eat quickly. The middle-aged woman said as she pushed the food through the gap under the iron railing.
After a moment of silence, the man burst into flames and smashed the food to pieces.
The middle-aged woman said, "I didn't want you to be miserable by locking you here, you know? ”
I see, Conan thought to himself, I have learned the secret of this house and the truth of that time. ……
