Chapter 420 The female ghost appears
  "Eh? Karaze Criminal?"

When Xiaolan saw Tang Ze standing at the door, she was surprised: "Why are you here?"

"It was Conan who contacted me. He said this place is haunted and it would be more convenient if I was here."

Karasawa waved his hand to say hello to Mouri Kogoro, and under Conan's introduction, he got to know the old man named Otonashi Yoshiichi.

"Would it be more convenient?" Xiaolan looked at Tang Ze in surprise when he heard this and said, "Does it mean that Tang Ze Criminal can also catch ghosts?"

"No, sister Xiaolan!"

Conan's head turned dark when he heard this, and he looked helpless at Xiaolan's fear of ghosts, "Have you forgotten? Tangze Criminal's sense of smell is very powerful, and it will come in handy when he encounters ghosts. !”

"It comes in handy?" Xiaolan asked doubtfully.

"Yes, I don't believe in ghosts or anything like that. Someone must have used something to act like a ghost in the apartment."

Conan explained: "The reason why I called Tangze Criminal is to wait until the ghosts appear and let Tangze Criminal use his sense of smell to determine what the ghosts are made of."

"Oh, so that's it." Although Xiaolan nodded, she looked nervous. She was obviously still a little afraid of ghosts and didn't believe what Conan said.

Conan had no choice but to hold on to this. It seemed that he could only wait until Tangze Criminal cracked the true identity of the first "ghost" before he could convince Xiaolan that there were really no ghosts here.

"Hmph! You self-inflicted brat!"

Regarding Conan's act of calling Karasawa over without authorization, Kogoro Mouri went up to him and punched him on the head. He immediately looked at Karasawa and apologized: "I'm really sorry for troubling you, Karasawa Criminal. You don't need to pay attention to the words of such a brat. Why?" I specially asked you to make a trip."

"It's okay, it's okay." Tangze waved his hand and explained: "I'm also quite interested in this haunted apartment.

Although I don't believe in ghosts, I am somewhat concerned about the purpose of this person who creates "ghosts". "

After all, the "Iron Triangle of Case Triggers" were all present. Knowing that this situation could not happen, Tangze still thought about getting rewards.

"I didn't expect that a criminal would be interested in this apartment."

The old man looked at Tang Ze and slowly said: "When the incident was haunted before, the residents in the apartment also called the police many times, but the criminals who came in were a little unimpressed and ended up hastily after walking around the apartment. "

"After all, ghosts and criminals are the two most incompatible entities."

Tangze spread his hands and said with a smile: "After all, criminals are one of the professions where ghosts are most likely to be seen.

There are so many murder scenes. If one can become a ghost because of resentment or unwillingness, then I don’t think any of the victims would be willing. "

"That's true." The old man nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for Criminal Sang and Detective Maori to solve the mystery of the "ghost"."

"So, what should we do next?" Mouri Kogoro looked at the old man and asked, "Just wait here?"

"The current situation is all we can do is wait."

Mr. Otonashi smiled and stood up and said: "Generally speaking, "ghosts" appear at night. If you haven't eaten, you can have a light meal if you don't mind. It's dinner time now."

Seeing Mr. Otonashi walking towards the kitchen, Xiaolan quickly stood up and said, "If it's cooking, I'll do it."

Watching Xiaolan push Mr. Otonashi back to his seat, Karasawa also stood up and walked to the kitchen to start helping.

Although the old man lived alone, he bought quite a lot of ingredients. Tangze and Xiaolan discussed and cooked three dishes each, and also made miso soup, and dinner was done.

"It looks really good... I expected that the little girl's cooking skills are good, but I didn't expect that Xingxin-san's cooking skills are so good." Mr. Otonashi looked at the sumptuous dishes in front of him and praised: "It seems that we can enjoy a good meal today. Got it!"

The meal was a feast for the guests and the host. After washing the dishes and chopsticks after dinner, everyone fell into boredom and waiting.

However, after some discussion, everyone decided to play cards to pass the time, and Mr. Otonashi happened to have mahjong at home, so they happily decided to play mahjong.

But with Ou Huang Xiaolan present, everyone's mahjong experience was extremely poor.

To be precise, it was Kogoro Mori and Mr. Otonashi, because Karasawa still had a chance to win with his mental calculations and strong memory. Although he did not win as many times as Ou Huang, he was still ranked second.

Not long after, Mr. Otonashi, who had never experienced such a battle, first chose to "sleep away" because he was old and lacked energy, and refused to continue playing no matter what.

There was no way, in the situation where three were missing and one was missing, Xiaolan had to agree to Conan who volunteered to join in and play a few games with her.

And then... there was no more.

A rough description is "Both people and ghosts are showing off, only Mouri Kogoro is being beaten." Needless to say, Xiaolan's European ace card goes without saying, and the calculation power competition between Conan and Karasawa also makes the card game even more confusing. It even affected Xiaolan's luck in Europe.

Then the winning rate of the three of them reached an almost even level, basically splitting the wins, while Mouri Kogoro had not won a single victory until the beginning.

When the time came to about ten o'clock, Mouri Kogoro, who had been beaten all over his head, was also tortured to the point where he couldn't stand it anymore and was about to go on strike.

Suddenly, the TV behind him turned on automatically without warning, and a long-haired female ghost with a terrifying face and hideous scars suddenly appeared on the TV screen.

"Get out...!"

"Get out...!"

"Wow!!"

Mouri Kogoro, who was closest to him, turned around when he heard the sound and was "killed in the face". He was so frightened that he screamed, and Xiaolan on the side hugged Conan in an instant, looking like he was about to cry. expression.

On the side, Tang Ze calmly glanced at the TV screen and watched as the TV turned into snowflakes again.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a trick." Tang Ze looked bored.

"But...but a ghost just appeared!" Xiaolan said in panic.

"It's okay, Sister Xiaolan. This is probably just a trick of the mastermind behind the scenes. You just need to use the common antenna in the apartment to do it."

Conan comforted Xiaolan while explaining the principle: "As long as the antenna is connected to the output end of the video recorder, and then the impact of playing the video tape is transmitted to the TV in Otonashi's room, the impact will naturally be displayed suddenly."

"But the TV was never turned on before..." Xiaolan said tremblingly.

"A multi-function remote control can solve this problem."

Karasawa smiled and said: "As long as you have a remote control that can be used regardless of the brand of the machine and the model, you can control Mr. Otonashi's TV. It's a very simple trick."

Under the calm explanation of the two people, Xiaolan gradually calmed down, replaced by an angry look.

That's what it looks like.

Super fierce!
