Conan's first love is a profiler

Chapter 90 The Curse of the Rose Garden
Delicate roses quietly stay in the soil.

A beautiful woman lies peacefully surrounded by roses, like a sleeping beauty waiting for a prince to kiss her to wake her up.

"The victim's name is 'Hirayama Yoshimi', 25 years old, and works as a publicist in a tavern."

"About a month ago, I started to live in Ji Cheng's house. The time of death was around 1 o'clock last night. The cause of death was suffocation after being strangled."

There were no stains on the clothes, so it can be concluded that the deceased was murdered indoors and then moved to the rose bushes.

This is a huge greenhouse.

In addition to roses, there are also many flower species planted, all grown under the careful care of the housekeeper Keiji Keiji.

The young detective team, attracted by the beautiful Corolla, originally just wanted to enjoy it.

Unexpectedly, the incident turned into a "murder".

"Is this the 'curse of the red rose'?"

Qinghai Chuantang sighed quietly.

"Curse of the red rose?"

The children seemed to have remembered something terrible, and hugged each other quickly, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Qinghai Chuantang began to tell the story, which was extremely suspenseful and supernatural——

During the Showa period, there was a maid named "Ayako" in Yoshinori's family.

Because of her beauty and good personality, the eldest son of Ji Cheng's family was quickly attracted to her.

Over time, the two also got closer and began a taboo love that didn't fit their identities.

The members of Yoshinko's family thought that Ayako had seduced the eldest son, and were very angry, so they killed Ayako's favorite black cat as a warning.

In order to completely prevent the relationship between the two, the eldest son quickly married a lady from a rich family under the arrangement of the family.

Afterwards, the disheartened Ayako committed suicide in the rose garden that she cultivated carefully.

However, things didn't end there.

After the wife of Ji Cheng's family was stabbed by a rose, she got a strange disease and died.

When Ji Cheng's family saw this happening, they thought it was very unlucky, so they wanted to tear down the rose garden.

But the craftsmen were injured one after another, so that in the end no one dared to take the job again.

"After that, it spread that anyone who took action on the roses in the rose garden would be cursed."

After hearing this, Ayumi's voice trembled.

She asked with some fear, "So, sister Shumei was killed by a curse?"

When Qinghai Chuantang was about to answer "yes", Conan stepped forward and said: "Only three-year-olds will believe this kind of silly rumors that lie to children."

"Besides, there are no such creatures as ghosts in this world. Didn't the policeman say before that he died of suffocation? So this is obviously man-made!"

After hearing what Conan said, Ayumi was a little relieved, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In addition to them, the housekeeper Keisei Keiji, the owner of the mansion Yoshinori Masaki, Masao's wife Shayu, and son-in-law Hiroshi were present at the scene.

Due to his inconvenient legs and feet, Sha Yu sat in a wheelchair and was pushed by Yashou.

"Is there anything unusual this morning?"

"Except for the addition of a corpse, everything else is the same as usual."

Mu Mu Shisan nodded, "However, why did the prisoner put the corpse in this place?"

Sha Yu turned his gaze to the rose beside him, stretched out his gloved hand, and stroked its petals.

The voice trembled: "Sure enough, is it a curse?"

"curse?"

Mu Mu Shisan was startled, "It's hard, could it be that."

"It is rumored that Ayako committed suicide in this rose bush."

"And a few days ago, because Shumei didn't know about roses, she rashly cut off a rose. Then, this happened."

Yashou couldn't help sighing.

"When Haofu accidentally picked a rose, I was already terrified. I didn't expect this to happen again."

Because Haofu was married, he didn't know about the curse at the time.

"The prisoner put Miss Shumei on the rose, and she will definitely be injured by the flower thorns halfway, and then leave marks."

Mu Mu Shisan looked at the three standing people, and said, "Everyone, can I take a closer look at your hands?"

When the six hands stretched out in unison, beyond Mu Mu Shisan's expectation, the backs of the hands of the three of them all had traces of being injured by flower thorns.

Yuan Tai saw them, and immediately pointed at them and said, "In other words, the murderer is actually the three of you!"

"Wait, wait, this is a complete misunderstanding! And when we wanted to move Miss Shumei down, the little boy with glasses stopped him, saying that it might be a murder."

"That's right. After all, Miss Shumei is entangled in vines, so she looks very pitiful."

Keiji Keiji echoed Yashou's words.

After what they said, Yuan Tai showed a suddenly realized expression.

Then he scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a sneer: "It seems that there is indeed such a thing."

"In that case."

Mu Mu Shisan stroked his chin, pondered for a while and said, "Can I ask Miss Shumei's residence?"

"Shumei lives in the other residence inside."

Yashou stretched out his hand to indicate the direction, and then said: "If you want to go, please be careful."

"Because since Shumei moved in, whenever I got close to the villa, I would cough, have a headache, and feel unwell,"

Hearing such a mystery, Mumu Shisan and Takagi couldn't help but look at each other.

"So now... wait, what about Conan and the others?"

Mu Mu Shisan looked around, but did not see the figures of the six people.

The few people who came to the villa with great curiosity, when they saw the scene in front of them, the three children couldn't help retreating.

Against the backdrop of the surrounding environment, the house looks gloomy, giving people a chilling feeling.

Mitsuhiko swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said cautiously: "How about we go back first? I always feel that this place looks very weird."

"Mitsuhiko, what are you talking about!"

Without saying a word, Yuantai pulled Mitsuhiko and walked towards the house, and said in a whisper: "Don't forget, we are a young detective team, and such a small matter will not scare us easily."

In the room, the layout is very simple, and there are not many decorations in it.

A chair fell to one side, and the bed looked a little messy.

It looked like someone had fought here.

"It seems that the murderer killed Miss Shumei here, and then moved her to the rose garden."

"No!"

"Eh?"

Conan turned his head to look at Qinghai Chuantang, and blinked suspiciously.

Could it be that there was some mistake in my reasoning this time?

"When Ayako's ghost entered the room, it grabbed Miss Shumei's neck and suffocated her to death."

"And all of this is a curse from the red rose. In order to punish her for trampling on her beloved rose, she was killed."

"Then use the power of the ghost to transfer Miss Shumei to the rose garden and place it on the rose bushes. The purpose is to give others a warning."

Conan's expression gradually became speechless, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching: I heard you make up.

"Sister Xiaotang, please don't talk so scary, okay?"

After Yuantai took a few steps forward, she suddenly found a plate of small biscuits on the table.

He happened to feel a little hungry, so he ran over quickly, then grabbed a handful of biscuits and put them in his mouth, chewing them, making a "crunchy" sound.

He said vaguely: "This biscuit tastes pretty good, come and try it too!"

"It's really Yuantai, don't take other people's things casually!"

Hearing Ayumi's words, Genta stopped immediately.

Rubbing his half-full stomach, he glanced at the small biscuits in his hands, and put them back to their original place with some reluctance.

"I'm sorry"

Just after saying this, Yuan Tai felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach.

"Could it be that someone poisoned the biscuits?"

With a painful expression, Yuantai walked out while leaning on the wall, and hurriedly searched for the toilet.

Hui Yuanai looked at the other person's figure in the distance, and couldn't help shaking his head and said, "I eat so fast, it's no wonder I don't have diarrhea."

Now that Conan and others have gone to the villa.According to Mumu Shisan and Takagi's understanding of them, if they have any useful clues, they will definitely tell themselves immediately.

So, the two went to the house and questioned the two people who were in the house at the time of the crime: the eldest daughter of Ji Cheng's family, Haofu's wife Xuejiang, and Xuejiang's younger brother Yixiong.

"Excuse me, what is the reason for Miss Shumei to live here?"

"Sook-mei was going to marry me."

Yoshio explained: "In order to introduce her to the family, I brought her back."

"I see. But, if you bring Miss Shumei home, will your family not object? After all, you brought a strange woman back all of a sudden."

"Of course there are objections."

Yoshio did not deny this fact.

"However, I think as long as we live together and get to know each other better, maybe we will agree."

"So I persuaded Shumei to let her live in the other residence."

Twilight Thirteen nodded.

Then he asked again: "In that case, what is your impression and feeling of Miss Shumei after living with Miss Shumei for a month?"

It was Sha Yu who answered first.

"She's a very nice girl and very cheerful and optimistic."

"Although she has the experience of working at night, it's not enough to give her a bad impression. After all, she hasn't done anything illegal. But..."

Saying that, Sha Yu glanced at everyone present.

"Others don't necessarily think so."

"Mumu Police Department, in fact, it's not difficult to understand, after all, an unknown woman came to the house suddenly. And"

Haofu glanced at Yixiong, and finally looked at Yashou and said, "No one can guarantee that the woman actually came here for money."

"Yixiong is relatively simple. I'm afraid he will be deceived. Father thinks the same way, right?"

"But in the end, I still changed my opinion. It is true that I have some prejudices and misunderstandings."

Yashou nodded, "Yes, I was indeed against it at first."

Then, the subject changed and continued: "But as I got to know her more and more, I realized that she is indeed a good girl."

"I was going to say today that I agreed to their marriage, but I didn't expect it."

Yashou sighed, "Such a thing happened."

It sounds like everyone present had a good impression of Shumei.

"So, last night around 1:[-] am, where were you all and what were you doing?"

"At that time"

Yashou took a closer look and replied: "At that time, everyone should be sleeping in the room."

"Everyone lives in a room alone, so no one has ever gone out, so I don't know."

At this time, Xue Jiang looked at his mother as if he remembered something.

"Mom, did you take a walk in the courtyard with Dad last night?"

Sha Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "How is it possible. After all, it's so late, and it's impossible for us to go out for a walk at that time."
