Conan's first love is a profiler

Chapter 91 The Curse of the Rose

When Mu Mu Shisan heard it, he naturally felt a little strange.

"Why did Ms. Xuejiang ask such a question?"

"actually."

After hesitating for a while, Xue Jiang recounted what he saw.

It was around 1 o'clock, when we were on the terrace.She saw someone pushing a wheelchair towards the direction of the greenhouse, and thought it was her father pushing her mother for a walk outside.

Takagi immediately understood, "In other words, the murderer was carrying the corpse in a wheelchair?"

"So, where was the wheelchair at that time?"

Mu Mu Shisan looked at Sha Yu and asked.

"It's right next to my bed. But I'd have noticed if someone had pulled the wheelchair."

"And in this house, there is only this one wheelchair. Unless."

Sha Yu was startled, "Could it be Ayako?"

If it is a ghost, it can indeed be so silent.

Then, Meguro Shisan and Takagi visited the tavern where Shumei used to work.

The proprietress is Sheng Yongyouxiang, and she is a slightly fat woman.

The heavy makeup on her face made her look a little more refined.

"Sookie?"

Sheng Yongyouxiang smiled and said: "She is very popular. Look at the things on the cabinet, they are all gifts from different guests."

There is also a picture of Shumei on the cabinet.

Holding a bouquet of roses, smiling sweetly.

"Don't look at me now, I used to be the person who took the cover photo."

Saying that, Sheng Yongyouxiang brushed her hair rather narcissistically.

Takagi smiled awkwardly: Can't you see it at all?
Mu Mu Shisan coughed lightly, "Then do you still remember, does Miss Shumei have any special guests?"

"About three years ago. She fell in love with a married man, and she would do anything for him."

"It's a pity that he was dumped by him in the end. But after that, Shumei met Yixiong, and slowly walked out of the depression."

After leaving the tavern, through interviews, a pharmacist in a nearby pharmacy obtained eyewitness testimony that he had seen Shumei yesterday.

"When she walked to the door of the store, she didn't know why, but she laughed out of nowhere. It felt like she was possessed by something."

Mumu Shisan and Takagi looked at each other.

The meaning is self-evident: Is it really a curse?

The forest near Ji Cheng's house was shrouded in mist.

Fortunately, it wasn't too late, otherwise I really felt like I had strayed into the scary forest.

"I feel like that cookie must have been cursed."

Yuan Tai touched her belly and bent slightly.

At this time, the group suddenly stopped.

"Conan, did you hear something in the warehouse over there?"

Ayumi grabbed the hem of his clothes in fear, followed carefully, and looked around.

"If you want to know what it is, just go in and have a look."

With that said, Hui Yuanai walked over, ready to push the door open.

But at this moment, a person stopped her hand.

Mitsuhiko swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and persuaded him kindly: "There is no one inside, but there is a sudden sound, there must be a demon that eats children inside."

Along the way, Qinghai Chuantang told them the legend about "claypot rice".

So several people believed in it, thinking that this place might also be full of malice towards children.

Otherwise, why is there no child in such a big house?

It must have been eaten.

Hui Yuanai turned to look at Qinghai Chuantang behind him, only to see that the other party spread his hands, looking like "it has nothing to do with me".

"There are no ghosts in this world."

Obviously, Haibara Ai belongs to the realistic school who believes in science.

Just as she pushed the door open, a black figure suddenly jumped out of it.

"Just now, that thing seemed to be a black cat, right?"

Mitsuhiko was startled and remembered the story he had heard before.

"Could it be that the black cat is the one that Ayako was killed?"

Mitsuhiko felt deep doubts about this world, "Curse, curse, it turns out that ghosts really exist."

Ayumi became even more frightened: "If this continues, will we all be cursed?"

"This is not a supernatural event at all, it's just a man-made murder case."

Conan walked over, reached out and touched the chair, there was still some residual warmth in the sunken place.

He looked at the crowd with a smile, pointed and said, "Look, if it's a ghost, how could it still leave temperature and depression?"

The fear on Ayumi's face faded a lot.

"So, does the murderer actually want to use that rumor to confuse the police?"

"how is this possible!"

Conan looked at Haibara Ai, "It's just that you are overcomplicating things."

"There are so many flowers in the greenhouse, but the reason why the murderer chooses roses is not because of its meaning, but because he wants to use roses to cover up something."

Think about it carefully, what is the thing that the rose has?

That's right, its thorns.

"Although the roses that people buy in the market do not have thorns, it is only because the merchants cut off the thorns, otherwise it will hurt people."

"And there are some things that just happen to be related to the supernatural. If you want to explain it, you can explain it."

For example, the reason why Shumei laughed at the door of the drug store was actually because of the poster pasted on the glass door.

If it's just normal, it doesn't matter.

But on the poster, the girl who is wearing a cockroach costume and plays the role of a cockroach, it is written in the lower right corner that she is the proprietress of the tavern.

And that black cat was actually raised by Shumei.

What Yuantai ate was not ordinary biscuits, but cat food.

A drug store is actually like a grocery store, and it is normal to sell cat food in it.

So Shumei went to buy cat food.

In this way, Yuan Tai's abdominal pain problem can also be well explained.

"But, if Sister Shumei is raising cats, why hasn't the family noticed it for so long?"

Ayumi tilted her head, showing a puzzled expression, looking a little cute.

"Because someone is allergic to cats, she's been sneaking around all the time."

Hui Yuanai clasped his hands together, leaning against the wall behind him.

Thinking back carefully, Yashou once said that whenever he got close to the villa, he would cough, have a headache, and feel unwell.

It turned out that it was not caused by the curse.

Because these are all symptoms of cat allergies.

"In this way, these problems can indeed be explained. However, what is the murderer trying to hide by borrowing the rose?"

Mitsuhiko touched his chin, lost in thought.

He clapped his hands suddenly, showing an expression of enlightenment: "I know! The murderer must have been scratched by a cat, and then deliberately put the body in a rose bush."

"In this way, when the corpse is moved, if the hand is stabbed and scratched, other people will not have any doubts."

Conan nodded and said with a smile, "That's right, that's how it is."

So the murderer must be among those three.

"Mr. Butler, Mr. Yashou, and Mr. Hao Fu. So, among these three people, who is the murderer?"

"Actually, for this, we can use the method of elimination."

With that said, Qinghai Chuantang took out a pen and notebook, and wrote the names of the three people on it.

"First, Mr. Jing Er. Do you think he is the murderer?"

"I don't think so."

Ayumi smiled and explained: "After all, those roses are taken care of by myself."

"If you put things on it and crush them, you will definitely feel distressed. After all, people who love flowers will not bear to let them be destroyed!"

Although this can be regarded as a reason, the real reason is to take care of roses frequently.

After all, in that case, even if there is a scar, it will not be particularly conspicuous.

The only ones left are Yashou and Haofu.

But before using the method of elimination, Qinghai Chuantang asked them a question: Did the murderer really use a wheelchair to carry the corpse?
"Eh?"

The three children blinked, "Isn't it, isn't it?"

Conan smiled and pointed to the warehouse.

"The things piled there are all baby products, which should have been used by the siblings when they were very young."

"And among these baby products, there is one thing that also has wheels, which can be used as a carrying tool."

"In addition, the night was already dark at that time, and Ms. Xuejiang was used to a wheelchair. So it was only natural that she would mistake the stroller for a wheelchair."

Since both Yashou and Haofu have been in this home for a long time, they naturally know about this warehouse and what is piled in it.

It becomes much easier to choose one of the remaining two.

What's more, they still have crucial evidence.

"As for who is the murderer? Just ask the murderer himself, don't you know?"

The sky gradually darkened, appearing somewhat hazy and mysterious.

Everyone stayed in the house, waiting for the other party to announce who was the real murderer.

Qinghai Chuantang glanced at Conan quietly, and signaled with his eyes: Why did you let me come?
Shall I be a child?

Conan responded in the same way.

"Three years ago, even though you already had a family, you dated Miss Shumei, right?"

With that said, Qinghai Chuantang looked at Haofu.

"What evidence do you have?"

"Because, Corolla."

"what?"

Qinghai Chuantang explained: "Corolla is a variety of rose, and it is also very precious. Mr. Yashou mentioned before that you picked a rose."

"I think it was three years ago, right?"

Sha Yu nodded, and asked curiously, "However, how did you know?"

She remembered that at that time, she just mentioned a simple sentence, right?

"In the tavern where Miss Shumei works, there is a photo that happens to be holding a rose."

"You know, there are differences between roses and roses, just like there are no two identical eggs in the world."

Mu Mu Shisan nodded and looked at Hao Fu.

"So, the murderer is indeed Mr. Hauff?"

Hoff didn't say a word and chose to acquiesce.

"Brother-in-law, why? Explain to me clearly!"

Yixiong wanted to rush forward to grab the man's collar, but was stopped in time.

"After all, she is the woman I once abandoned. When I saw her coming here, I thought she was here to seek revenge."

"Because of suspicion, in order to prevent yourself from being killed for no reason, don't try to act first."

"However, these are all your misunderstandings. The reason Miss Shumei came here is because she simply loves Mr. Yixiong."

"So what you care about is just your imagination. She doesn't have that idea at all."

Haofu's eyes dodged for a moment, and he said with a little confusion: "I, I didn't know at the time, I really didn't know."

"you!"

Yixiong rushed up and grabbed his collar, but finally let go.

He lowered his head, his hands hanging limply.

The tragedy has already happened, even if this man is taught a lesson, what can be saved?

Yashou pushed Sha Yu forward for a certain distance, it could be seen that she seemed to have something to say.

Sha Yu looked at Haofu and said coldly: "Neither we nor Rose will choose to forgive you."

Just as the voice fell, all the lights in the room went out at once.

Everyone looked at the situation in front of them, and some didn't understand what happened.

At this moment, Haofu suddenly saw a woman standing outside the window, and smiled at him, looking a little malicious.

He was so scared that he fell to the ground.

The lights came on again, and the woman had long since disappeared.

It seemed that what he saw just now was just an illusion of his own.

After leaving, everyone felt in shock.

"Just now, did you all see it?"

"That, that woman. No, it's a female ghost. It should be the legendary 'Miss Ayako', right?"

Seeing the frightened faces of the children, Conan smiled and comforted him, "There can be no ghosts in this world! It must be Sister Xiaotang's prank, right?"

After speaking, Conan looked at her, as if hoping that the other party would cooperate with him.

However, Qinghai Chuantang's body froze for a moment.

She stood where she was, turned her head mechanically, and looked at Conan.

"The one just now was not arranged by me. What's more, I have been with you all the time."

"what--"

Ayumi couldn't help screaming, her face showing horror.

"So, so, what we saw just now really belonged to Ms. Ayako?"

"Maybe."

Qinghai Chuantang sighed leisurely, "After all, Miss Ayako, who likes roses so much, will definitely have the urge to kill her when she sees someone trample on her roses wantonly."

"Maybe in the end, the curse will fall on Mr. Hoff."

"Ghost, ghost—"

The three children didn't know what they saw suddenly, and they all ran away.

"Huihara, you must be playing a prank, right?"

However, Huiyuan was standing beside him.

"Sister Xiaotang, could it be you?"

However, the other party stood in front of him.

Conan was startled. Could it be that there are ghosts in this world?
He turned his head slowly, only to see a figure standing behind him with an angry look on his face.

Because of the backlight, it does look a little scary.

What's more, it still appeared so quietly.

"Xiao, sister Xiaolan!"

Conan was taken aback for a moment, but soon put on a flattering smile.

Carefully probing, "Sister Xiaolan, why did you appear here?"

"Really Conan!"

Xiaolan bent down and stared at him, and said very dissatisfied: "I haven't come back since I went out early this morning. I called you several times but didn't answer. I'm worried about how you are?"

"If I hadn't asked Sister Xiaotang and told me where you were, I wouldn't have been able to find you."

When Conan heard this, he quickly took out his mobile phone, only to see that there were seventeen missed calls in the call records.

Smiling, he put the phone back in his pocket, thinking about how to appease the other party's anger.

"Sister Xiaolan, listen to my sophistry!"
