Then they decided to go to the old man's house. The old man's name is Yoshiichi Otonashi. He is 68 years old and lives in an old apartment. The ghost he mentioned happened around that old apartment. A series of strange things.

Like appearing outside the window

Will-o'-the-wisps, red blood suddenly flowed out of the toilet, and ghost figures were often picked up in the middle of the night.

On the way to follow Mr. Otonashi to his house, Conan limped at the end with a fortune-telling banner, and Mao Lilan also lost his pace in order to take care of him.

In other words, since Conan's identity was exposed, the last time he was carried away by Mao Lilan was when he was a little Corgi.

"That... I don't understand..." Conan hesitated and suddenly raised the topic: "When Martin asked you to kiss him, you didn't seem to be angry with him at all? Xiao, Lan, sister, sister! "

After asking the question, Conan also tried to hide it by emphasizing that he was only asking "Sister Xiaolan" as "Conan".

Although Xiaolan exuded a very dangerous atmosphere at that time, she was not targeting Martin who made the request, but Kogoro Mori who was requested.

"Do you care about it? Ke, Nan?" Mao Lilan followed Conan's example and called him word for word.

A day has passed, and Conan is still struggling with whether Xiaolan likes him or not.

"It's just strange. In the past, when you met a man who was too close to you casually, you would refuse decisively, right?" Conan asked, turning his head away from her.

Knowing that the guy in front of him was being stubborn, Mao Lilan explained: "Because after getting to know Mr. Martin, I can vaguely feel that he was just joking with his mouth, and he didn't have this idea in his heart."

"It's as if there was a big detective who used to show off the love letters that other girls gave him in front of my eyes. In fact, it was just to see my reaction. In fact, 'he' didn't have any special feelings for those girls at all. Right?"

Conan was unconvinced when his previous little thoughts were poked out, and he still said arrogantly: "That's not necessarily true."

"Oh? Really?" Mao Lilan's half-moon eyes: "In this case - if Mr. Martin can win Dad, I will go and kiss him."

"Hey!" Conan, who was originally turning his head, turned his head back: "Are you joking?"

Of course it was a joke, but seeing Conan's nervous face, Mao Lilan seemed to suddenly understand why Martin Jun likes to play tricks on others.

It's really interesting to see such expressions and reactions.

"Why are you just joking?" Mao Lilan raised her eyebrows, crossed her arms, and pretended not to look at him: "I don't hate Mr. Martin, and Mr. Martin also wants to be kissed, right? Kissing the face is okay. .”

"I... this... he..." Conan hesitated for a long time, and finally accelerated suddenly, using the fortune-telling flag in his hand to use the effect of a ski pole, and slowly caught up with the troops in front.

Mao Lilan smiled and quickened her pace to follow.

"Grandpa, what do you think the ghost fire you saw looked like?" Conan asked.

Collect information in advance and prepare for battle seriously!In the name of a famous detective, I can't lose!

"Women's fire, usually at night, when looking at the opposite building from the window, sometimes you can see small orange fireballs jumping in mid-air in that abandoned building." Mr. Otonashi said.

Conan, Mao Lilan, and Martin all showed some relaxed expressions: The orange one is a hammer or a will-o'-the-wisp.

, the will-o'-the-wisp should be the same as the flame on the Headless Horseman's head yesterday, the faint blue one is the right one.

As a result, Mr. Otonashi said again: "There are still a few times, and the will-o'-the-wisp has turned into a cloud of blue."

Conan and Mao Lilan's expressions froze again, and it looked like that again.

The old man can't walk very far. The small ramen restaurant is not far from the place he rents. It takes ten minutes to get there at the old man's pace. In front of everyone is a dilapidated small second-floor apartment.

"This place is really dilapidated." Mori Kogoro said bluntly: "If I passed by here, I would probably think that the whole building has been abandoned."

Indeed, the walls with mottled mold spots, potholes and exposed bricks, the roof with jagged edges and half-walled ivy, the only difference between this dilapidated apartment built 50 years ago and an abandoned building is that the windows are all intact .

On the left of the apartment is a small commercial building that is much newer than it, and on the right is an even more dilapidated unfinished building. It was dilapidated in the blowing rain.

Mao Lilan looked back across the street, and there was a vast green park directly opposite the dilapidated apartment: "You can see such a beautiful park when you open the window, and you will feel better living here, right? How could anyone Become a ghost here."

"Because this park is where the ghost in the apartment died." Mr. Otonashi replied calmly, "In this park four years ago, the girl was burned alive by gangsters."

The night wind swirled, blowing goosebumps on Mao Lilan's calf, and then passed a telephone pole, blowing a corner of a yellowed arrest warrant.

"This place is a treasure land of geomantic omen," Martin said suddenly.

"Really?" Mori Kogoro suddenly became excited: "Is this really a treasured place of geomantic omen?"

"That's right." Martin pointed to Jiangshan: "The park in front is an open and flat terrain, and there is a lake, and the Sumida River is to the north. Obviously, the water source of the artificial lake in the park is the underground river extending from the Sumida River, so this apartment There is running water below the area where it is located, and this terrain is called 'dragonfly's water', which is very prosperous."

Conan looked at the dilapidated apartment in front of him and thought: Do you call this prosperous wealth?

Then Martin's next sentence roughly answered Conan's question: "Buried here, at least it will be able to germinate future generations and become rich and wealthy for 50 years."

"Okay, I must buy this place." Before Mouri Kogoro could react, he clenched his fists and made up his mind that he would sell this apartment even with a loan, and then move the detective agency here and live on from now on The life of a rich man with a lot of money...wait a minute, what did Martin just say?

"Buried here?" Maori Kogoro was taken aback: "Is this a treasured place of geomantic omen as a cemetery?"

Martin nodded.

Mori Kogoro's expression immediately became dull. In the modern society where funerals are fully managed, even if you buy this place, it is impossible to use it as a cemetery to move your ancestors here.

But he still turned around and patted Mao Lilan on the shoulder: "When my old bone dies, just bury me here secretly."

"Ha ha."

Although Mori Kogoro should not need it, Martin still reminded him friendly: "The burial method is also particular. The coffin should be buried upright, and the bottom should be slightly in contact with the water veins. This is called 'dragonfly's water'. Burial, future generations must prosper' ah."

"And the top and surrounding of the coffin can only be filled with loess. Do not use impermeable materials such as cement, otherwise the 'dragonfly' will not be able to touch the water, and it will turn into a dead body after drying in the shade, turning into a very powerful zombie. .”

As they spoke, everyone thought of Kogoro Mori's appearance as a zombie: his face was blue and black, his purple-black nails were particularly long, and there was a pair of fangs in his mouth.

Conan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and quietly pulled the corner of Lamartine's clothes: "I said, today it will not develop. The corpse of a woman who was burnt to death four years ago was built into the wall, and it just happened to become a zombie king after great skill. Quartet, right?"

"You're quite imaginative." Martin patted Conan's head, "However, it won't take four years to make a difference. It's just a dead body. If you eat people or livestock, you can turn into black dead body. It's not too difficult to deal with." .”

Hearing Martin's words, Mr. Otonashi pointed to the unfinished building over there: "The location of that building used to be a cemetery..."

Immediately, a large number of zombies emerged from the soil in front of the tombstone from their hands, and then formed an army of zombies to advance towards themselves.

"Old, old sir?" There was a trace of tension in Martin's voice: "Cremation should be popularized here, right?"

"Yeah." Mr. Otonashi nodded: "At that time, this apartment... this cemetery were all places for cremation."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then followed Otonashi

The old gentleman entered the old apartment.The inside of the apartment looked as shabby as the outside. The once white wallpaper was either moldy or shabby, and now there was no white at all on the walls on both sides of the corridor.

After entering, I ran into a person walking from the depths of the corridor: "Hey, there are guests, old man. Don't you also come to see ghosts? I thought the haunting trend of this apartment had changed with memory. It's over."

It was a thin man with long fox eyes and a strange expression on his face.

"Tide?" Mori Kogoro asked, "Has the haunting been happening for a long time?"

"Yeah, two or three years ago, when it was in the limelight, many guys came here to explore, and some people wanted to make supernatural documentaries here. Then the heat disappeared, and most people have forgotten about this place." The man explained, saying He smiled sinisterly: "But once you come, it seems that there will be a good show tonight."

"Good, good show?" Mao Lilan became nervous: "Does this mean that there will be haunted tonight?"

"Haven't you heard of it? People often say: the more crowded the place, the more haunted it will be!" As he spoke, the man walked past the crowd with a wicked smile and left the apartment.

"He is Kikuji Bancho who lives in Room 4, and he seems to be working in a model shop." Mr. Otonashi introduced: "Once I saw a lot of scary dolls in his room."

Conan thought to himself: If there were rumors of haunting two or three years ago, it should have nothing to do with Martin, right?

At this time, the sound of the toilet flushing suddenly sounded, and a person came out of the bathroom on the first floor. When he saw the person's face in the dim light, Mao Lilan suddenly twitched and hid behind Mori Kogoro.

The man who came out was fat and should be a man, but his face seemed to have suffered from a disease similar to smallpox, with acne scars all over his face, and a towering purple-black lump near his right eye, squeezing his eyes to change out of shape.I don't know whether it's because of obesity or edema, but his head is very big, like a white lantern.

The man didn't care about Mao Lilan's fearful reaction, he just looked at them and smiled: "It's not bad that it's lively and lively tonight. It's been deserted here for a long time. I hope that ghost will come out soon."

Then he opened the door of room two and walked in.

"Who is he?"

"He is the tenant of Room No. [-], Yotsuya Iwasaka." Otonashi Yoshiichi replied: "It seems that he is a horror movie lover. He is the one who wants to make a supernatural documentary here. The room is full of horror videos."

"Horror model lovers and horror movie lovers...the people here really have distinct personalities." Mori Kogoro complained.

Martin said: "Tenants who don't like horror elements have already moved out?"

Mao Lilan looked at Otonashi Yoshiichi: "Mr., why do you still live here?"

The old man chuckled: "I'm an old bone, half of my body is buried in the ground, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

Combined with the fact that the rent of this dilapidated apartment must be very cheap, everyone immediately realized that the situation of the old man's family and children was obviously not good, so they stopped asking.

At this time, a young man came down from the stairs and met the first two

He has a decent appearance: "There are so many people, please don't make too much noise at night. Because I have a paper to write, and I need a quiet enough environment."

Mr. Otonashi frowned a little when he saw him coming down the stairs: "You obviously live in Room [-], why did you go to the second floor?"

"Because someone was using the bathroom on the first floor just now, so I went upstairs to use the bathroom on the second floor." The man replied frankly.

Before he left, Mr. Otonashi introduced him to everyone: "This is Mr. Mudan Luyan, a graduate student."

"Excuse me, why do you still live here?" Mao Lilan asked curiously.

"Because I reject superstition and don't believe in ghosts in this world, I can only accept phenomena that can be explained clearly with scientific evidence." Mudan Luyan adjusted his glasses and said seriously.It sounds like a materialist, but in fact this is a more extreme idealism.

"And I need a quiet environment. There are very few tenants here, so it suits me." Mudan Luyan continued to add: "Besides, the rent is very cheap, and my grandma also said that the Feng Shui here is very good."

Conan: Don't you reject superstition?

Mori Kogoro also put on half-moon eyes: Your grandma said Feng Shui is good, is it for living people?

Mudan Luyan had already opened the door of Room No. [-]. Before entering the door, he turned around again and emphasized: "Please don't make any noise. If you delay my thesis, you will definitely not be able to pay for it."

After speaking, he entered the room and closed the door heavily.

"What a bad attitude." Martin complained, "When I become his mentor, he will be out of luck."

Conan looked sideways: You are too narrow-minded, aren't you?

The following plot is modified from TV296-297 "The Truth About the Haunted House", comic version File.355-File.357.

The names of the four characters in the case are all based on Japanese horror and ghost stories: Otonashi Hoichi and the apartment next to the cemetery were taken from "No Ear Hoichi"; ; Yotsuya Iwashang is taken from Ayan in "Sigu Weitan"; Mudan Luyan is taken from Alu in "Peony Lantern" (it is adapted from "Peony Lantern Story" in the Chinese Ming Dynasty novel "Jiandeng Xinhua")

Mr. Otonashi took everyone to his room. Room No. [-] on the second floor is just a small room with four and a half stacks of closets. There are windows on the east and south sides, and a small table in the middle of the closet on the north side. In one corner of the room was a TV set on a cabinet.

The sun has not yet set in the west, and the ghosts will not come out until night, so they decided to wait in Otonashi Yoshiichi's room until night to see.
