Chapter 1000 Nodding is the Right Thing to Do
The next day, Chi Feichei got up early and stood in the Kitchen, looking at the soaked soybeans. He considered between 'eating fried dough sticks and soy milk' and 'eating steamed buns' for a while, and chose to make both, and made a lot.
After eating, Chi Feichei did not go Building Jump again. He packed up the Breakfast, and honestly took the Elevator Downstairs.
One portion was sent to Yingqu Yan Nan, and two portions were sent to Training Ground 119, using a Rice Cooker to Keep Warm. He also sent emails to Gin and Vodka, telling them to help themselves if they wanted Breakfast.
The rest was taken to Niide Hospital for Niide Tomoaki, Old Lady, and Homon Hikari.
Feeding makes people feel happy.
Around ten o'clock in the morning, Gin and Vodka arrived at Training Ground 119, used Fingerprint to open the Door, and went to the Living Room to get Food, eating Breakfast at the time when others eat Lunch.
Vodka directly started eating without pretense, "Boss, Raki's Food is still so delicious. When we are done with this period, do you want to Go Together to the Mountain for Grilled Skewers again?"
Gin waited for Vodka to take two bites, and after confirming the Poisoning Sign, he prepared to Start Doing, "The Boss Said, Raki has been Building Jump Recently..."
So how big is Vodka's Heart? He actually stuffed Food into his Mouth without thinking?
Even if Vodka didn't know about Belmode's Poisoning, and didn't know that Pisco was almost Crazy before he died, he should have a basic sense of vigilance.
Vodka had no precautions against Chi Feichei, with a confused Face, "Building Jump?"
"Who knows what's wrong with him," Gin lowered his Head to eat Things, "The Boss just wanted to know if he has any Abnormality Recently, I didn't ask more."
Vodka Thoughtful Nodded, "Then I will ask him when I have time..."
Gin raised his Eyes to look at Vodka, his Gaze was cold, "Don't Care So Many!"
Vodka almost choked himself, and finally swallowed the Soy Milk in his Mouth. He Nodded in confusion, another day of being scolded by Boss. Although he didn't understand Why he was scolded, he was used to it, Nodding is the right thing to do, "Okay, Boss..."
Gin then withdrew his Line of Sight and continued to eat Things.
Asking a Crazy Cat 'Why are you Building Jump' might get a confusing Answer. The Boss should have realized that. He was afraid that Vodka would be led astray, which would be Troublesome and affect Work.
And asking a Crazy who doesn't admit that he is a Crazy Cat, has deep Intentions, and has irregular and unannounced onset of Illness 'Why are you Building Jump'...
The other party might think—'Does he think I'm Abnormal? How could I be Abnormal? He misunderstands me and insults me like those Doctors'.
Then causing some Trouble would be even more Troublesome.
In summary, not asking is the best.
Recently, it has been a bit boring, but he doesn't want to deal with that kind of incurable and unpredictable Consequences Troublesome Matter just because of boredom.
However, Vodka's suggestion to Go Together for Grilled Skewers another day can be considered.
...
Teitan High School.
Chi Feichei and Niide Tomoaki came out of the Principal's Office and decided to go Outside the School for Lunch first.
Although it was only the end of August a Few Days Ago for Summer Vacation, and today is June 21st, School Day, since Fate arranged today to be School Day, then today is School Day.
It was past ten o'clock in the morning, and the Students in the School were all in the Classroom for class. When the two returned to School after Lunch, it was already past one o'clock in the Afternoon, and the Students had also returned to the Classroom. The entire School was almost silent except for the sound of reading.
Niide Tomoaki took Chi Feichei to the School Infirmary, opened the locked Door, and saw a stack of Letters on the Table. He stepped forward and glanced at it, and began to distribute them, "Mine, yours, yours, mine..."
Chi Feichei found a Chair and sat down, sorting out the Letters placed in front of him.
"...Yours, mine." Niide Tomoaki sorted out the Letters, and also sorted out his stack, and then began to sort out the Gifts piled on the Table, feeling a little Sigh in his Heart.
It turned out that Jodie was right. The Girls of Teitan High School not only sent Love Letter to him here, but also used this place as a transfer station, and sent Chi Feichei's Letters and Things to this Office as well.
After Niide Tomoaki finished distributing Things, he pulled Chi Feichei to start reading Letters.
Of course, not reading each other's, but each reading their own.
In Niide Tomoaki's Words, there were too many Letters, and replying to them was too Hard, but this was people's Goodwill. If you have time, it's Better to take a Look. If you encounter Letters with abnormal Emotion, it's Better to meet them and politely refuse and Comfort them face-to-face.
Chi Feichei did not object, and started to open the Letters, saying without raising his Head, "You are still like this, a pushover."
"Is that so..." Niide Tomoaki smiled wryly, guessing that the person impersonating him should have also made similar Proposals. He didn't quite understand what kind of person the other party was, but he quickly suppressed the Doubt in his Heart and began to read Letters, "Well... Recently, High School Student seem to be more popular in copying Lyrics and Haiku."
"Uh-huh."
Chi Feichei also read the Letters one by one.
There were indeed many Haiku and Lyrics in the Recent Letters.
Those who were more generous copied the Lyrics of the currently popular 'Love or Not Love' songs, which were very straightforward, and then directly left Contact Information and Signature.
Those who were more reserved used Haiku.
He saw a Letter that only wrote 'In a Sakura petal, thousands of Words are hard to Say, give it to you and remember it, don't take it lightly', and there were also Dried Flower of Sakura in the Envelope. There was a Signature but no Contact Information. She should be a Girl who is smart and has Romantic Cell, because if he has a Good Impression, he will take the initiative to find her even if she doesn't leave Contact Information, and if he doesn't want to respond, leaving Contact Information is useless.
There are also generous and enthusiastic Haiku, such as Girls who copied 'Meeting for a short time, temporarily comforting my Affection, later I miss you more and more, Love is like the tide'. There was also a long passage, sharing her Mood.
Regardless of what kind of Letters they were, they all contained pure Hearts. He also felt that it was Better to take a Look, but only as a Personality analysis of the Target, and forget about replying.
These Girls and what he saw were mostly two Worlds. The Reality he saw, these Girls didn't understand, and the beautiful and dazzling Things in the Eyes of these Girls, he couldn't understand either.
Communication and coordination is a very Hard Process, Just Like a Sentence that circulated on the Internet in his previous life 'You are busy Work Making Money, but she complains that you don't Keep Company with her and coax her'. Perhaps they can communicate to mutual Understanding, but that requires a lot of Time, Energy, and Good Mood to endure, and Communication and coordination may fail, and affect each other unlike themselves...
Okay, he just doesn't want to provoke Girls who are too simple, and has never considered High School Student or Groups under the age of eighteen.
Actually, he could Guess that Niide Tomoaki was the Same, he had no Idea about Girl High School Student. Otherwise, with Niide Tomoaki's popularity, even if he picked Appearance and Personality, he would have been single for a long time.
"Boom!"
Thunder sounded Outside the Window.
Niide Tomoaki saw that the Light in the Room was dim, so he Get Up and turned on the Light, walked to the Windowside and looked Outside, "It's going to Rain soon, then today's Student Club Activity should be cancelled... By the Way, Hissashi, did you bring an Umbrella?"
"No," Chi Feichei raised his Eyes and glanced Outside the Window, and continued to lower his Head to read Letters, "It's okay, it won't last long."
"Also Correct, the Weather Forecast said it would be showers," Niide Tomoaki raised his Hand to prepare to close the Window, and suddenly froze, "Hey?"
The Office arranged for Niide Tomoaki was in the Building on the side of the Teaching Building. Niide Tomoaki looked out from the Window and could just see the School Main Entrance.
Because it was going to Rain soon and the Club Activity was cancelled, Students had already started leaving School.
He saw Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko arrive at the School Entrance, and then brought a little kid into the School, muttering in a low voice, "It's Ran and Conan..."
Chi Feichei finished reading the last Letter, skillfully pulled open the Desk Drawer, took out an Iron Box and put the Letters in, "Let's put them here with you first."
Niide Tomoaki saw that there was already a stack of Letters in the Iron Box, and Understood. This should be put by the person impersonating him. Maybe Chi Feichei would also put Letters here.
Fortunately, if Chi Feichei hadn't taken out the Box One Step Ahead, and he didn't know about this Box, he would have been exposed if he was not Careful.
It seems that he can't stay with Chi Feichei any longer. Tomorrow, when he comes over alone, he will familiarize himself with the Things in the Office.
Thinking like this, Niide Tomoaki put the Letters into the Drawer, and Smilingly Proposed, "Let's go say hello to them, and then go back early! Maybe when the Rain starts to fall, we will have already returned Home, so we don't need to bring an Umbrella."
Chi Feichei Nodded, but did not Recognize Niide Tomoaki's Words in his Heart.
Going to say hello to Conan, it is very Possibility that when the Rain stops and starts again, and stops again, they will not be able to go back...
...
Shoe Changing Area of the Teaching Building.
Conan changed his Shoes, watching his former Classmate talking and laughing with Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran. That carefree Youth Aura made him a little lost in thought.
Mouri Ran waved goodbye to her Classmate, and turned her Head to see Conan in a daze, "Huh? What's Wrong, Conan?"
"Ah... Uh-huh," Conan came back to his senses and hurriedly Said, "It's nothing."
"Then let's go." Mouri Ran led Conan into the Teaching Building, turned her Head and smiled to Suzuki Sonoko.
Conan walked among the High School Student going Outside, and lost his mind again.
He is no stranger to this place.
Originally, he should also come here to School every School Day, talking with his Classmates about 'Have you prepared for the Exam', 'What Rumors are there in School Recently', 'Who and who seem to be in Romance', 'Which School's Club will the Soccer Ball Club have a Competition with this time', and other boring Topics, living an ordinary High School Student Life.
Correct, if he hadn't been force-fed that Medicine by Gin and Vodka and turned into what he is now...
Damn it... In order to restore his original Body and return to Kudo Shinichi's Life, he must find out the Location of those Fellows and find the Antidote of that Medicine!
Conan, who misunderstood 'ordinary High School Student', gritted his Teeth unwillingly. Gin and Vodka's figures appeared in his mind again, and his Expression also became heavy. He also thought of Belmode and Niide Tomoaki.
It was only One Step Ahead, but Belmode escaped. He didn't know if Belmode's Sentence 'give up Haibara Ai' was true or not.
No matter what, Belmode is Thousand-Faced Witch, a Disguise expert no less than Kaito Kid. Maybe she will Makeup as someone, in order to lurk in this Vicinity for some Attempt...
Especially Chi Feichei's place, Belmode had contacted him as 'Chris Vineyard', and after Disguise as 'Niide Tomoaki', she is also contacting him. Maybe she will appear Beside Chi Feichei again...
Conan was Walking, and suddenly felt that the Light cast from the Front was blocked. He looked up and his Face changed drastically.
In front of him, Chi Feichei was still dressed in casual long sleeves and trousers, wearing a dark blue Windbreaker Jacket, his Face under his Black Hair was Expressionless, looking down at him, while Niide Tomoaki, wearing a beige Suit and glasses, was Beside Chi Feichei, and the Gaze he looked at him was very simple and harmless.
As soon as he thought about it, Chi Feichei was very likely to appear in his Vicinity. This magical Summoning was scary enough. He had finally adapted to it a little, but Chi Feichei had already started to bring people with him?
The Key is, Belmode has impersonated Niide Tomoaki!
Could that Woman have run back again? And he guessed it right, and she appeared Beside Chi Feichei?
Thanks to the new Silver Patron [One Flower, One Leaf], the extra update will be postponed, I will Refuel to stockpile manuscripts...

(End of Chapter)
"Doctor Shinchide? Brother Hichiji?" Suzuki Sonoko looked up and saw the two of them, surprised. "You two came to our School together, is the Basketball Club looking for a temporary Coach again?"
"But after the Verdict was handed down, didn't Doctor Shinchide go to work at the Aomori Hospital?" Mouri Ran asked.
"Ah... I originally planned to, but I was a little worried about the many Patients here, so I gave up," Shinde Tomoaki explained gently, squatting down in front of Conan and tilting his head to look at the others, "And I couldn't bear to leave you guys..."
Mouri Ran asked happily, "Then you will continue to be the School Doctor here?"
"Yes," Shinde Tomoaki said with a smile, "I came to School today for this matter, and I also asked Hissashi to come with me, to take a look around School while we're at it..."
Conan stared fixedly at Shinde Tomoaki squatting in front of him, reached out his hand, and pinched his Face hard.
Shinde Tomoaki's Tears almost burst out, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."
Mouri Ran was startled and quickly stepped forward to pull Conan, "Conan, what are you doing?"
Seeing that he hadn't pulled off a Fake Face, Conan let go of his Hand in a Be Confused manner.
It's real...
Mouri Ran quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Doctor."
"It's okay," Shinde Tomoaki rubbed his cheek, leaned close to Conan's ear, and whispered, "Teacher Judy, the FBI investigator, told me that a Bad Person impersonated me and wanted to do Bad Deeds. Before, we were sent to America because Grandmother and Kogoro didn't adapt to the environment there. After hearing that the Bad Person had been driven away, we decided to return to Beika Town, and that person probably won't impersonate me anymore. Niide Hospital also has other Doctors taking over..."
Conan recovered and asked in a low Child's Voice, "But why are you telling me this?"
"Because Jodie told me to tell you, saying that otherwise you would be startled," Shinde Tomoaki said, "I don't know why she told me to keep it from Hissashi, but told me to tell you..."
Silence.
A young, calm Face approached beside the two of them.
Shinde Tomoaki: "!"
Σ(дlll)
Conan: "!"
Σ(дlll)
Chi Feichei, who suddenly approached, was so scary!
Chi Feichei straightened up and asked directly, "What are you Saying?"
Can these two Humans be a little more restrained and find a Place without other people to talk...?
Do they really think Others won't notice?
Suzuki Sonoko had already been Staring at the two Humans curiously for a long time.
He had to pretend not to know, and secretly act as a Lookout for the two of them, reminding them to be a little more restrained, it was not easy.
"Cough... No," Shinde Tomoaki chuckled dryly, stood up and explained, "Conan was just asking me some Children's Problems."
Conan quickly acted cute in a Child's Voice, "I was also secretly apologizing to Doctor Shinchide, I shouldn't have Pranked him by pinching his Face just now, Brother Chi is not allowed to listen!"
"Conan, honestly..." Mouri Ran couldn't blame him, but was amused by Conan's 'serious child talk', "But it's great that Brother Hichiji and Doctor Shinchide are here, do you want to go with us to investigate the Ghost Incident at School?"
"That's right," Suzuki Sonoko clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Since Ran, your Father, is unwilling to come, then calling the Famous Detective's Disciple Kuroki Jiro is the same! And there's also Doctor Shinchide, if there are two Male companions, Monsters probably won't dare to run out and scare people!"
"Huh?" Shinde Tomoaki was Be Confused.
He just wanted to say hello, and then take advantage of the fact that it wasn't Rain... Never mind, never mind, things have been said to this point, and he really couldn't refuse.
Chi Feichei estimated the Time, it was dark now, but it should only be a little before four in the Afternoon, Time was still early, and said indifferently, "I have no Problem."
"I have no Problem here either," Shinde Tomoaki nodded and asked, "Then the Ghost Incident refers to..."
"It's the Ghost Incident that has been widely rumored at School recently," Suzuki Sonoko led the way forward and explained, "Some very strange Matters happen at School in the Morning, like the sound of crying coming from the unmanned Warehouse, a Staircase appearing out of nowhere, and Books being turned out in the Library, and these all happen in the Morning."
Mouri Ran listened, feeling Scalp Numbing, and whispered, "I heard that two years ago, a Student at School arrived very early at School, and as a result, died in an Accident, so everyone is saying that it's that Student's Ghost causing trouble..."
As soon as Chi Feichei heard this, he remembered which Incident it was.
School Ghost rumors, Student Hideaki Hosaka who died two years ago...
In fact, the Ghost Incident is just a combination of coincidences and misunderstandings, there are no real Ghosts, and no one died this time either.
"We're here, we're here, it's just ahead!" Suzuki Sonoko Speed Up Pace, ran to a Door, and opened the left and right Sliding Door, "This is the Place where the Problems first started, the sighing Gym Storage... One Rainy Morning, the Gymnastics Club's Girl Students came here early for Morning Exercise, and heard a terrifying Sound of someone sobbing coming from the Gym Storage that should have been empty!"
At the Entrance, Chi Feichei heard Footsteps behind him, Turn Head to Look Towards, a Short Hair Girl Student was Go Toing this way, saw him Turn Head, Be Stunned for a moment, Nodded at him, and continued to walk over.
Kazumi Tsukamoto, a high school Student from the Karate Club, he had seen her twice before when he went to the Karate Club to find Mouri Ran, and once when Belmode impersonating Fake Niide was there, he went to the Infirmary and happened to meet Kazumi Tsukamoto taking injured Club Members from practice to see the School Doctor.
"Then, the Girl Students were Scared and ran away, and when they brought other Male Classmates over afterwards, the Sound stopped, leaving only..." Suzuki Sonoko said in a low voice, vividly, Go To the middle of the Warehouse, Reach Out and pulled open the cloth covering a set of Desk and Chair, "This Desk and Chair! This is the Desk and Chair used by that Male Classmate named Hideaki Hosaka who died mysteriously at School two years ago!"
"Ah..." Mouri Ran was Scared and closed her eyes, squatted down, and hugged Conan.
"That's not true," Kazumi Tsukamoto, who had arrived at the Entrance, Speak Out, "Hosaka accidentally fell down the Stairs and hit his Vital Point, and died after rescue failed. It's not some mysterious Death, don't listen to Others spreading Rumors, and Ran, the Karate Club doesn't have Activity today, why are you still at School?"
"Huh?" Mouri Ran Get Up Turn Around, smiled awkwardly, "It's you, Senior Kazumi, I am... I wanted to investigate the Ghost Incident at School a little."
"Then Your People are really all here," Kazumi Tsukamoto teased, Look Towards the Warehouse, "Are you talking about the sobbing Sound Incident? Later, everyone said that it was caused by the Wind, look, the Lock on the Skylight of the Warehouse is broken, and Wind coming in will make a strange Sound, those Students must have misheard."
Shinde Tomoaki Go To the Desk and Chair, lowered his head and looked at it, "How does everyone know that this is that Classmate Hosaka's Desk and Chair?"
"I told them," Kazumi Tsukamoto lowered her eyes, with some loss in her eyes, "Actually, Hosaka and I were Classmates..."
"But why is his Desk and Chair placed in this Place?" Shinde Tomoaki continued to look around.
Kazumi Tsukamoto didn't answer anymore, heard the Rain Sound Outside, ran to the Corridor, "It's Raining..."
Suzuki Sonoko quickly followed her out to Look, "Oops, I didn't bring an Umbrella today."
Mouri Ran leaned out to Look at the Rain curtain, "Me too..."
In the Warehouse, Chi Feichei saw that Shinde Tomoaki was still Looking at the Table, moved to walk Outside, "Alright, stop Looking, you won't see anything more even if you keep Looking."
Shinde Tomoaki Speechless followed, "I am thinking very seriously."
"Pfft..." Kazumi Tsukamoto laughed, "Doctor Shinchide and Mr. Chi are still the same as ever, how about finding a Place to take shelter from the Rain before it stops? Let's go to the 'Hatred' Library, I was just about to go there."
A Group of People walked through the Corridor to the Library again.
"Wow, the Rain is getting so heavy!" Suzuki Sonoko watched the Rain getting heavier and heavier.
Mouri Ran worried, "Will this Rain stop today?"
"It's okay, the Weather Forecast said it's just a Thunderstorm." Shinde Tomoaki said with a smile.
"But Doctor Shinchide is actually willing to accompany Students to investigate some supernatural Incident," Kazumi Tsukamoto Turn Head and said with a smile, "You are still such a nice person."
Shinde Tomoaki could only smile, he didn't know this Girl, she must have been acquainted with the Human who impersonated him.
In the Front Corridor, a Male Classmate with a buzz cut came out of the Washroom.
"Kuni Shigu?" Kazumi Tsukamoto Speak Out to greet him, "Where did you go? I've been looking for you for a long time."
Kuni Shigu Step Forward and explained, "My Belly was a little uncomfortable today, so I asked for leave in the Afternoon and have been resting in the Infirmary, by the way, Kazumi, what Matter were you looking for me for?"
"Ah, actually it's not a very Important Matter," Kazumi Tsukamoto Said, "I'll tell you another day."
"Is your Body okay?" Shinde Tomoaki asked worriedly.
"It's okay, I'll go back after resting for a while," Kuni Shigu Go To the Infirmary Entrance, Turn Head and joked with a smile, "Otherwise, the Doctor who worries too much will grab me and take me to the Hospital!"
Shinde Tomoaki: "..."
This one he also... doesn't know.
Suzuki Sonoko saw Kuni Shigu enter the Infirmary, Turn Head and asked, "Senior Kazumi, is this Senior also in the same Class as Hideaki Hosaka?"
"No, they are not in the same Class," Kazumi Tsukamoto Turn Around Go Upstairs, continued to Go To the Library, "But I heard that he and Hosaka grew up together since they were Children."
Shinde Tomoaki Look Towards Chi Feichei, "Besides a signature, that Desk doesn't seem to have anything strange about it..."
"Wind is a Possibility, it's also Possible that a Student with Worries was secretly crying alone in the Warehouse early in the Morning, or it could be that Hideaki Hosaka's Friend went to the Warehouse early in the Morning, saw the Desk and cried sadly," Chi Feichei Said Expressionless, "Those Girl Students didn't go directly inside at the time, and it can't be ruled out that someone was originally inside and left during the Time they left to call for people."
It's another boring Incident of remembering the Plot, he really wants to flip the Table and reveal the Truth directly.
Kazumi Tsukamoto sweated, completely... answered correctly.
"In that Situation, many Girl Students wouldn't dare to go in and Look, right?" Mouri Ran also sweated a little, saw the Library Entrance, and said with emotion, "But I didn't expect Seniors from the Gymnastics Club to also come to the Library for Matters."
"What are you Saying, I also need to study," Kazumi Tsukamoto said with a helpless smile, "I'm going to take the University entrance exam Next Year, and also, I can also help you investigate the Ghost Incident by the way."
The Weird Matter that happened in the Library was that when a Student came early in the Morning, they saw the Books that Hideaki Hosaka had borrowed scattered and thrown around in the Library.
Chi Feichei saw that Conan was planning to leave, decided to push the Progress further, "What Books are they?"
"Huh?" Kazumi Tsukamoto was Be Stunned.
"If they are some Books that are often borrowed, even if they are scattered and thrown around in the Library in the Morning, no one would associate them with Hideaki Hosaka," Chi Feichei Said, "What Books did he borrow?"
Conan: "..."
What you Say is Also Correct...
Probably Because from Elementary School, Middle School to High School, he had heard countless different Versions of School Ghost Rumors, the Routines were also somewhat Similar, so today he hadn't focused much at all, just wanted to find a reasonable explanation to make Ran not afraid, and unexpectedly didn't consider these Matters.
Is this Matter Important? Very Important.
It's necessary to know the Situation of those four Books.
If they are four unpopular Books that were all borrowed by Hideaki Hosaka, and they were turned out together, then it's definitely not a coincidence, indicating that someone Specially turned out the unpopular Books borrowed by Hideaki Hosaka to make a mess.
And if they are popular Books, in theory, many people have borrowed them, and for a while no one would associate them with Hideaki Hosaka, then it means someone is Intentionally spreading Rumors, forcibly linking the Books that everyone would borrow and the Accidents that happened in the Library for other Reasons with Hideaki Hosaka.
No Matter what, there is a Possibility that there is a mastermind behind this Ghost Incident.
This Investigation seems to have become interesting.
Celebration (ヮ)" Full 1000 Chapter!
Thank you for your support all the way!
Bow!
Thank you!

Chapter 1002 Chi Feichei Couldn't Bear to Watch Anymore
Kazumi Tsukamoto found the Administrator of the Library and found the four books that Hideaki Hosaka had borrowed, which were rumored to be haunted, and also obtained the borrowing card records for the four books.
"These four are all quite uncommon books." Ran looked at the four books laid out on the Table.
"Electrical Communication Engineering," "Tropical Rainforest Destruction Report," "History of University System," "Analysis of Rock Layer Destruction Sounds"... Just looking at the titles, they were very unpopular.
Conan picked up the four borrowing cards on the Table and looked down at them, "Moreover, apart from Hideaki Hosaka, almost no one has borrowed these four books, and he is also the last person to borrow these books."
"Hmm?" Sonoko stroked her chin and pondered, "It does seem a bit strange."
"Then let's go check out the next place!" Conan looked up and smiled, the left Lens of his Glasses reflecting Light.
Such unpopular books with difficult-to-remember names, and books that almost no one except Hideaki Hosaka borrowed, were actually all randomly discarded in the Library in the Morning. It was really rare...
This time, someone was indeed playing tricks, and it was an Acquaintance of Hideaki Hosaka.
It's not easy for Ordinary Person to remember these Book Title, the other party should have had a long time of contact with Hideaki Hosaka and know which books Hideaki Hosaka borrowed!
This Senior Kazumi Tsukamoto is a Classmate of Hideaki Hosaka, and they seem to have a good Relationship. She is also on the Suspect List of 'promoting the Haunted Rumor'. It's best not to directly say anything if there are Problems, so as not to alert the Snake in the Grass.
Kazumi Tsukamoto planned to stay in the Library to read, and did not follow A Group of People running Downstairs again.
The next haunted Place was the Stairs where Hideaki Hosaka fell, and School Rumors said that an extra Step would appear here.
Conan had Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran walk up the Stairs side by side, while silently counting the number of Steps in his Heart.
At the End of the Staircase, Suzuki Sonoko turned her Head and asked Mouri Ran beside her, "Ran, how many Steps did you count?"
"Mine is 12 Steps," Ran Say.
"Ah!" Suzuki Sonoko immediately looked terrified, "I counted 13 Steps!"
Downstairs, Chi Feichei sighed softly, turned his Head to face the Window, took out a Cigarette Case, took out a Cigarette and lit it.
"The Correct Answer is 12 Steps," Conan Say helplessly, even this can be counted wrong, look, even Chi Feichei couldn't bear to watch anymore, "Sonoko might have counted an extra Step when she was too nervous and put her feet together at the top of the Stairs..."
Suzuki Sonoko became angry out of embarrassment, her Face quickly turning from white to red, "I know, I'll count again, That's Enough!"
Conan: "..."
He kindly reminded her, but ended up making someone angry?
"Whirr—"
The Door of the Art Room beside Conan was pulled open, and a Boy Student with Glasses and a center-parted Short Hair Say angrily, "Hey, can you guys be a little quieter? I can't concentrate on Drawing!"
Chi Feichei glanced at him and continued to look Outside the window and smoke.
Most of the Boy Classmate at Teitan High School looked old, looking older than him, and also older than Amuro Toru, who was nearly thirty years old...
"I'm sorry." Niide Tomoaki hurriedly scratched his Head and smiled apologetically to the other party.
"Sorry!" Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran also ran down from the Stairs, but the other party Seemingly was in a very bad Mood, and without Saying a word, whirr, he pulled the Door of the Art Room shut again.
Niide Tomoaki looked at the Door that was closed, with a trace of Doubt in his Eyes.
This... he didn't not recognize him, on the contrary, he Seemingly had seen him somewhere.
Chi Feichei looked Outside the Window, "Go Check that Table after you're done."
"Table?"
Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran gathered at the Windowside.
Looking out from the Window on the Second Floor, in the Courtyard Outside the Teaching Building, a School Desk was placed alone in the middle of the Courtyard, looking very strange.
On the Table, there was also a Paper being blown by the Wind, pressed down by a Rock. Due to the distance being too far, they couldn't see what was on the Paper from where they were.
Conan jumped up, put his hands on the Window Side and poked his Head out to Look, then immediately jumped down and turned to Run Downstairs.
"Conan!"
Mouri Ran started her Daily Routine of chasing after Conan.
Chi Feichei saw Suzuki Sonoko and Niide Tomoaki also chasing after him, and did not rush to follow. He looked Outside the Window and smoked for a while before walking Downstairs, and conveniently extinguished the Cigarette on the Trash Can Downstairs, and threw the Cigarette Butt into the Trash Can.
He could recall what was on that School Desk, what was written on the Paper, and what the Truth of the Matter was even with his Eyes closed. It was the Same whether he Looked or not.
Conan and Niide Tomoaki also came back with that Paper. Due to stepping on the wet Soil after the Rain, the Slippers provided by the School for visitors were also stained with mud on the bottom and sides. Four Footprint were left after stepping on the Steps.
Suzuki Sonoko hurriedly Ask, "Th-That School Desk shouldn't be..."
"That's right, it's the School Desk that Hideaki Hosaka used before, which was placed in the Warehouse. There is the Same Signature in the lower right corner of the Desktop," Conan Say seriously, spreading out the Paper he got, "The Paper is also randomly scribbled with 'My Hatred has not yet Subsided' in Writing Brush."
"The Paper surface is not wet by Rainwater, indicating that it was moved there after the Rain stopped," Niide Tomoaki Say with Doubt, "But isn't this very strange? The Soil in the Courtyard is wet Due To the Rain, but there are only Footprint left by me and Conan rushing over to Look on the Ground. There are no Footprint left by the person who moved the School Desk to the Courtyard at all..."
"Ghost! Ghost has no feet, this must be done by a Ghost!" Suzuki Sonoko looked at the Courtyard in Panic, and took two steps back in fright, "Ah! That School Desk is gone again!"
Conan Half-Moon Eyes, "Brother Ike and Doctor Niide and I just conveniently moved the School Desk back to the Warehouse."
Niide Tomoaki also hurriedly explained with a smile, "If it causes a commotion, wouldn't it be playing into the other party's hands?"
"By the Way," Conan looked up at Chi Feichei, "Brother Chi, when did you See that School Desk?"
"When Sonoko Say 13 Steps Stairs." Chi Feichei Say.
"Then when you turned around to look Outside the Window and smoke, the Rain had already stopped at that Time," Niide Tomoaki paused, "But Why didn't you tell us then?"
"You were counting Stairs." Chi Feichei gave a Speechless Answer.
Niide Tomoaki: "..."
Because they were counting... No, a School Desk appeared in the unmanned Courtyard. Suddenly Seeing this Weird Matter, shouldn't he be surprised or Curious and want to Go Downstairs to Check?
Why could Chi Feichei patiently wait until they finished Saying the number of Stairs, and conveniently chatted with the Student in the Art Room for a few Sentences...
Conan chuckled in his Heart, he was used to it. This Fellow Chi Feichei, when he Sees any sudden or rare Matters, Seemingly is not surprised or Curious at all. This Fellow is not Normal, "Then Brother Chi, when you Saw the School Desk, was it like it is now? Was there anyone nearby? Or were there any Weird Things nearby, such as Rope?"
"Just like this, no one, no Weird Things." Chi Feichei Answered Conan's three Questions in one breath.
Conan frowned and pondered for a while. He felt that Chi Feichei would not See wrongly, "Then what happened Afterwards? During the Time we ran Downstairs, Brother Chi, you have been Standing in front of the Window on the Second Floor and Staring, right? Did anyone leave while we ran Downstairs, or recover anything?"
"No," Chi Feichei Go To the Place in the Corridor near the Courtyard, lowered his Eyes and looked at a Long String on the wet Soil, "It was completed before I Saw it."
"Eh?" Conan hurriedly ran over, but just looking at a Long String on the Ground, he couldn't tell what kind of Trace this was left behind.
Niide Tomoaki leaned over to Conan's side and bent down to Look, "It doesn't look like String or anything..."
Conan squatted down and observed the long Trace on the Ground, "But judging from the Trace, this was left after the Rain stopped. In Other Words, during the Time from when the Rain stopped until Brother Chi Saw the School Desk Outside the Window, someone used something to create a ghost story that is still unexplainable. When did the Rain stop?"
"I didn't notice..." Niide Tomoaki and Conan looked at each other, and turned to look at Chi Feichei and the other Three People Standing in the Corridor.
Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran shook their Heads left and right in unison, indicating that they had not noticed either.
"5:33 PM," Chi Feichei Say, "That is, when we just Intended to leave the Library."
Conan recalled for a moment, "Then Brother Chi, the Time you Saw the School Desk Outside the Window..."
"When the Student in the Art Room opened the Door, the Wall Clock on the Wall behind him was 5:42 PM," Chi Feichei continued to Report the Time, "The Time I Saw the School Desk was about one minute earlier, that Should be 5:41 PM."
Conan: "..."
Was Little Friend infected by Saguru Hakuba?
Niide Tomoaki sweated, "Hissashi, have you been paying attention to the Time because you have something else to do later?"
"No Specially paying attention," Chi Feichei explained, "There are many Wall Clock in the School, and I just Saw it."
Conan was too lazy to talk to Chi Feichei anymore, and looked at Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, "Then let's Go To the Library to Check, the Library is on the Third Floor, and there are still many Student there. Maybe someone just happened to See the Situation in the Courtyard by the Window."
A Group of People went Upstairs again.
Suzuki Sonoko was silent for a long while. When they were almost on the Second Floor, she finally couldn't help but Say, "Is it really not a Ghost? Leaving a Paper Strip saying 'My Hatred has not yet Subsided', maybe Hideaki Hosaka died unjustly, and when it rained, he lay on the School Desk and left this Sentence on the Paper Strip, wanting to tell everyone..."
"Ah!"
A Man's scream came from the Art Room on the Second Floor.
Conan's Face changed, and he ran up the remaining Steps in three steps and two steps, rushed to the front of the Art Room, and pulled open the Door.
Niide Tomoaki also hurriedly followed, "What happened?"
In the Art Room, the Boy with Glasses was sitting in front of the Easel, his Face looked as ugly as if he had Seen a Ghost. His Right Hand holding the Paintbrush loosened, letting the Paintbrush fall on the Wooden Floor. He held his Head in both hands and Trembling all over, "Th-That Fellow is still holding a grudge... This Ghost Incident is also... is Hideaki Hosaka's Curse!"
Conan was stunned, and stepped forward to Ask, "Do you also know this Student named Hideaki Hosaka?"
"Ah, yes..." The Boy with Glasses' Face was still terrifyingly frightened, his Eyes were out of focus, "He and I were Members of the Art Club, until two years ago when he fell from the Stairs at that Time..."
"You Say 'at that Time'?" Mouri Ran Ask with Doubt.
Suzuki Sonoko directly Ask, "Could it be that you were also present when he fell?"
The Boy with Glasses avoided answering, Seemingly calmed down, lowered his Head and Say, "Can you guys go out..."
(End of Chapter)
"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko was stunned.
"To let me focus on participating in the Competition, the Teacher specially arranged for me to stay in this Art Classroom alone," the Boy with Glasses suddenly became agitated again, turning his head and roaring at A Group of People, "Alright! Get out! I don't want to waste time!"
"Ah, yes!" Mouri Ran broke out in a sweat, hurriedly pushing the others to leave the Art Room, and after turning around to close the door, she let out a long breath of relief.
"Does Teitan High School have a History of Student Suicide?" Chi Feichei suddenly asked in a low voice.
"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko was Be Stunned, recalling and saying, "No, no, I don't think so. There were Students who died in Accidents Outside of School, and some who took leave of absence due to Illness, but it seems like Hideaki Hosaka is the only one who had an Accident at School..."
Mouri Ran moved closer to Suzuki Sonoko, looking around in Panic, and lowered her voice to say, "Brother Chi, could it be that the Ghost causing trouble isn't Senior Hosaka, but a Ghost of a Student who committed Suicide..."
Conan was Speechless, how could that be possible, Chi Feichei isn't someone who can communicate with spirits, and he doesn't believe in spiritual communication either, can everyone be a bit more scientific, "Brother Chi, is this Incident related to a Suicide Incident? Or do you think Hideaki Hosaka actually committed Suicide?"
"No," Chi Feichei looked towards Shinde Tomoaki, his face calm as he said, "As the School Doctor, if you have time, you can mention it to the Principal, and have a Psychiatrist come to the School for consultations for a while. It's not easy to have no Suicide History, don't let it be broken."
Shinde Tomoaki's mouth twitched slightly, "I think I understand, you mean... the Student just now needs the help of a Psychologist?"
Suzuki Sonoko looked around, and said in a low voice, "Brother Chi, even if that Boy's Attitude is very bad, you don't need to Curse him, right?"
Chi Feichei: "..."
He was very seriously reminding them.
"No," before Chi Feichei could open his mouth to explain, Shinde Tomoaki said seriously in a low voice, "I Think Hissashi's this is very necessary, in fact, I thought that Boy looked a bit familiar before, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him, until just now, I remembered, two years ago when I heard that a Student at Teitan High School had accidentally fallen down the Stairs and needed First Aid, I also came, it was Hideaki Hosaka, and he was also at the Crime Scene at that time..."
Mouri Ran sorted out her Clue, "I heard that when Hideaki Hosaka fell, it was in the morning, and the Students at School hadn't come to School yet, In Other Words..."
"At that time, it's very Possibility that only Hideaki Hosaka and that Boy Downstairs were present," Suzuki Sonoko's Expression was solemn and serious, her voice low, showing a Talent for storytellers, "and Hideaki Hosaka is very Possibility not accidentally falling, but being..."
The Surrounding Area suddenly became chilly, causing Mouri Ran to silently hug her Arm tightly.
"Impossible," Conan Half-Moon Eyes, "If it wasn't an Accident Incident, the Police would have already opened a Case Investigation, he has already passed the protection Age of the Juvenile Law, it's impossible not to Public, even if the Police and Media are intentionally protecting High School Students, and haven't Public the Case Details, there should be Rumors in the School, right? And if he killed someone, he wouldn't still be able to stay at School, he would have been arrested already."
"Y-Yeah, Also Correct," Suzuki Sonoko with a dumbfounded look, and quickly said again, "But Possibility there's another Relationship with him, For Example, he cursed Hideaki Hosaka to go die quickly or something..."
Conan Speechless reminded, "How could someone fall down the Stairs by themselves just from being cursed?"
"Anyway, the fact that he Saw a Classmate fall down the Stairs, fall and get a Head full of Blood, and that Classmate also failed First Aid and died, even if the Matter has nothing to do with him, ordinary High School Students would also have Nightmares," Shinde Tomoaki's voice was still very soft, he Turn Head and Looked at the closed Art Room Door, and then Look Towards Chi Feichei, "Hissashi Saw that his State was not right, that's why he made a Proposal to find a Psychiatrist to come to School for consultations for a while, right?"
Chi Feichei Nod, "Emotional fluctuations are too big, not only the Accident two years ago, and the Recently Haunted Rumor, when Emotions are unstable, he also has to bear the Pressure from the Competition, and is anxious to finish the Drawing, Problems are sooner or later."
"Then I Understood, But..." Shinde Tomoaki suddenly remembered something, Thoughtful Looked at Chi Feichei, "Emotional instability..."
Mouri Ran, Suzuki Sonoko, Conan, Stare.
Oh right, they haven't Seen Chi Feichei's Emotions fluctuate greatly, let alone 'too big', not even a little bit, Then the Problem comes, what is Chi Feichei's Problem exactly?
Chi Feichei quietly looked back at the four people, his Gaze like a gradually sinking swamp.
It can be Seen, these four people still Think he is not Normal.
He obviously doesn't have times of emotional instability, isn't this still not enough to prove he has no Problem?
Actually still looking at him like this, Same as Zhi Ming Fukuyama Great Demon King... This Is misunderstanding, Is slander.
"Cough," Shinde Tomoaki couldn't bear it first, moved his Line of Sight away, "That..."
Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko also quickly withdrew their Line of Sight following closely.
"Aren't We still going to the Library?"
"Y-Yeah, Also Correct, then let's hurry and go!"
Conan couldn't stand everyone being so cowardly, just as he was about to directly have an open and honest talk with Chi Feichei, he suddenly Discovered a Reflection under the Groove where the Fire Extinguisher was placed beside him, his Attention shifted, Curious he squatted down and used his Hand to touch the Reflection on the Floor, and thus escaped a heavy punch.
Shinde Tomoaki who was Going Upstairs turned his Head back in Doubt, "Conan, What's Wrong?"
"Seemingly Is Wax."
Conan stood Get Up, Followed the other four people, and asked Suzuki Sonoko while looking up, "Sonoko, you Say that when Classmates came in the morning, they would also See a large puddle of Water on the Ground Downstairs, right?"
"Yes, a very big puddle," Suzuki Sonoko Reached Out and gestured, "Everyone Says, that is the Curse Tears of Hideaki Hosaka's Ghost!"
When they arrived at the Library, Kazumi Tsukamoto Step Forward to greet them, saying that when it was still Raining, she Saw the Principal standing in the Courtyard with an Umbrella, because from above she could See the Black Umbrella that the Principal often used.
The five people Went Downstairs again to the Faculty Building over There.
Suzuki Sonoko casually Speculation, "I See the Principal, he is probably Distressed about what Tree to plant in the Courtyard."
"Yes," Mouri Ran chuckled, "He runs to the Courtyard every day to worry, planting this is not good, planting that is also not good, Unexpectedly he even goes on Rainy Days, But, If the Principal was in the Courtyard at that time, he might have Seen something."
"Also Correct, But I'm really Worry that he'll worry until his Hair falls out," Suzuki Sonoko Smilingly raised her Hand and gestured at her Hairline, then Turn Head and Ask Shinde Tomoaki, "But didn't the Principal Discuss with Doctor Shinchide about what Tree to plant?"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, there was such a thing..."
Shinde Tomoaki hurriedly Smilingly said.
(︿)
Sorry, he doesn't know about this Matter either.
Conan Turn Head and Looked at him with Sympathy, and continued to Go Downstairs.
Doctor Shinchide at that time was Belmode, the Real Shinde Tomoaki of course doesn't know about these Matters.
But speaking of which, Belmode disguised as Shinde Tomoaki at that time was still the School Doctor of Teitan Elementary School, Haibara Ai's original Age was around 20 years old, if considering that she would Integrate into School after leaving the Organization, then Belmode Should choose to go to High School or University, Why add Teitan Elementary School?
But If she already knew that Haibara Ai and he had Shrunk Same, when they were at Teitan Elementary School, Why didn't Belmode directly find Haibara Ai?
Transfer Students Should be the easiest for Belmode to Pay Attention to, But Belmode at Teitan Elementary School didn't directly Investigate, take the opportunity to take away Haibara Ai, but chose to find out Haibara Ai's Address, and go directly to Doctor's House...
What exactly is the Why?
When they arrived at the Principal's Office, the Principal with snow-white Hair Said that he had not been to the Courtyard.
"I haven't been to the Courtyard all Day today, and when the Rain was heaviest, I and other Teachers were in the Faculty Conference Room for a meeting, just for the Recently more and more exaggerated Haunted Rumor," the Principal Smilingly Looked at Shinde Tomoaki, "But Doctor Shinchide, thanks to the Health Exercise you taught me, my Waist has been much more comfortable Recently."
"Ah, no, no..." Shinde Tomoaki vaguely Pleasantries.
(︿)
He doesn't know about this Matter either.
Conan didn't Think about Belmode's Matter anymore, and made a Proposal, "Then Whether or Not to Ask the Senior sleeping in the Infirmary on the First Floor? He might have Seen something There!"
A Group of People Went to the Infirmary again.
In the Infirmary Kuni Shigu Said, he had been Resting in the Infirmary, hadn't gone out, and even if he went out to the Corridor, he couldn't See the Situation in the Courtyard, it was all blocked tightly by the Trees Outside of the Corridor.
Mouri Ran looked around, "Is the Infirmary Teacher Offline?"
"He wants to learn to drive, so he went Home first, and also told me to quickly go Home to Rest, because my Home is in the School Vicinity." Kuni Shigu explained.
Mouri Ran Look Towards Kuni Shigu, "I heard that you and Classmate Hosaka were Childhood playmates?"
"Yes," Kuni Shigu smiled bitterly, "In Elementary School and Junior High School we were in the Same Class, But in High School we didn't meet often, because I had a Motorcycle Accident just after entering School, and stayed in the Hospital for nearly half a year, even the Matter of him falling down the Stairs, I only heard about it After Discharge and returning to School..."
Chi Feichei suddenly remembered the playmate of the Original Consciousness who defected in Elementary School, and felt inexplicably stifled in his Heart.
Also Childhood playmates, the difference is too big.
Kuni Shigu quickly asked playfully again, "Then what about your Achievement? Is there anyone who is Scared and trembling because of the Haunted Rumor?"
"Achievement?" Mouri Ran didn't Understand, "Why Say So?"
Kuni Shigu Look Towards Suzuki Sonoko, "Those people who clamor about Ghosts all day long, Possibility are the people who Plan these Matters, waiting for others to be Scared, and then hiding Behind and laughing secretly!"
"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko was Stunned, pointing at herself and saying, "You Say me?"
"Then let's Go Together to the Art Room on the Second Floor!" Conan spoke while looking up, his Face full of Children's innocence, "I have a Method to find out the Fellow who Intentionally scares others! We'll go over first, Brother Shigu you have to come quickly too, oh!"
"Me?" Kuni Shigu pointed at himself in Surprise.
"Yes," Conan Smilingly Gaze at Kuni Shigu, "Don't you want to Know who is spreading those Rumors after your Good Friend's Death?"
"Okay, I Know," Kuni Shigu got Get Up from the Bed in the Infirmary, "I'll go right away."
(End of Chapter)
Art Room.
A Group of People returned again, this time with Kuni Shigu and Kazumi Tsukamoto, who had been called down.
Since they planned to go straight home after coming here, both of them brought their own umbrellas.
Kazumi Tsukamoto's umbrella was covered in a lot of dust, saying that it was found with great difficulty from her old Daily Necessities.
And under Kuni Shigu's umbrella, a puddle of Water Stain was still spreading.
Conan glanced at it, and had the Answer in his heart.
"And then?" Suzuki Sonoko bent down to look at Conan, urging, "Who exactly is the person who did these things?"
Mouri Ran also curiously bent down to look at Conan, "Yeah, Conan, didn't you say we would know when everyone gathered here?"
"Everyone is saying that this haunting incident was done by the Ghost of that classmate named Hosaka," Conan's playfulness arose, he opened the Door of the Art Room, stood at the Entrance and looked outside, "The Staircase he fell down was the Staircase here at the Art Room, right? Then let's wait!"
Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran curiously moved closer.
"Waiting for what?"
"Of course..." Conan turned his head to look at A Group of People, his expression becoming strange and ghastly, "Waiting for Hosaka's Ghost! He will walk down step by step from the Staircase..."
"Duang~!"
The Famous Detective received a heavy Fist on his head.
Suzuki Sonoko, with a sullen face, raised her Fist and roared, "You're not trying to say that someone is pretending to be a Ghost and wants us to catch him, are you?"
Chi Feichei, standing at the Rear, looked up and glanced, lowered his head, and continued to lean against the Wall, replying to UL Message on his Mobile Phone.
"Ouch ouch ouch..." Conan hugged his head and jumped in pain.
Why is it okay for Chi Feichei to scare people, but when he scares people, he gets hammered?
Hmph, Sonoko, that Fellow... If he had known earlier, he would have let Chi Feichei say it, to see if Sonoko would be scared to tears!
Kazumi Tsukamoto saw Suzuki Sonoko start hitting the Child, sweated a bit, and said with a smile, "Ran, Sorry, I'll go back first."
Kuni Shigu went to pick up his Umbrella, "Then I also..."
Conan saw that people were about to leave, and lost his intention to joke around. Looking again at Chi Feichei over there leaning against the Wall, sending Email and chatting happily with someone, and recalling Suzuki Sonoko's Fist just now, he silently aimed the Watch-Type Anesthetic Needle at the back of Suzuki Sonoko's neck.
"Ah... Uh..." Suzuki Sonoko swayed for a moment, smashed backwards onto the Door, bumped her head, and slid down the Door to sit on the Ground.
Conan had already dodged and hid at the Entrance, lowered his head and used the Bow Tie Voice Changer to adjust to Suzuki Sonoko's Sound.
Good, revenge taken.
Mouri Ran turned her head and explained to Shinde Tomoaki, who looked worried, "Sonoko is like my Father, she falls asleep when solving problems."
"No, that's not right," Shinde Tomoaki stepped forward with a serious face, squatted in front of Suzuki Sonoko, "Her posture of falling down is wrong, let me help her with an Inspection..."
Conan, hiding behind, broke out in sweat, turned his head and saw Chi Feichei also coming, quickly lifted Suzuki Sonoko's hand that was exposed from the Room Door from behind, waved it to swat away Shinde Tomoaki's hand, and said in Suzuki Sonoko's Sound, "Don't touch me! Because it's about to be my Reasoning Queen Sonoko Majesty's Deduction Show!"
Chi Feichei stepped forward, just took off his Coat and covered Suzuki Sonoko, was silent for a moment, and still corrected, "Queen should be called Your Majesty."
Conan Behind the Door: "..."
—_—||
Fine fine fine, Your Majesty it is then.
Really, it's not very cold today, why did he specially come forward to put Clothes on her?
Shinde Tomoaki smiled somewhat awkwardly, got up and said, "Okay, there's no Problem now."
Kazumi Tsukamoto also didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Before performing the Deduction Show, you should also pay attention to your own Situation, right? At least when sitting down, gather your legs a bit, don't show your underwear."
Conan: "!"
Σ(д;)
Wait wait wait wait, In Other Words, Chi Feichei came over to put Clothes on her, Because Sonoko's skirt rode up when she sat down?
Then Shinde Tomoaki said the sitting posture was wrong, also Because of the skirt riding... riding up?
Cough, he didn't do it Intentionally.
Such an embarrassing Matter, People here shouldn't randomly spread it around, right...
Chi Feichei went back to the Wall Side again, silently leaning against the Wall and replying to News.
The Famous Detective is probably forgetting, although Sonoko's Combat Power is not high, Sonoko has a boyfriend with explosive Combat Power... Fortunately, there shouldn't be gossipy People present.
Conan calmed down a bit, and started to use Suzuki Sonoko's Sound to perform Deduction.
With Chi Feichei discovering the Long String Trace on the muddy ground, the Famous Detective's Progress was much faster.
The Desk and Chair placed in the Courtyard were carried over by someone holding an Umbrella in the Rain, along with the piece of Paper pressed down by a Rock, and then, the other party placed the Black Umbrella connected by a Long String on the Desk and Chair.
Due To it still raining, the other party's Footprint were quickly washed away by the Rainwater.
And after the Rain stopped, the other party then used the Long String to pull the Umbrella back, and cleaned it.
The Long Trace in the Courtyard was the Trace scratched out by the tip of the Umbrella, and when Kazumi Tsukamoto saw the Principal holding an Umbrella and standing in the Rain on the Third Floor, she actually only saw the Black Umbrella placed on the Desk and Chair, which was the same model as the Umbrella the Principal usually used.
The one who did this Matter was Kuni Shigu, whose own Umbrella tip was still dripping Water.
Due To not knowing when the shower would fall, Kuni Shigu took leave to stay in the Infirmary, waiting for the Rain to fall to complete this Method.
At that time, School Dismissal had already happened, and the Teachers were all in a meeting. Once it started raining, there were almost no People Outside, and if there were People on the Second Floor or Third Floor, looking down from the Window, they could only see a Black Umbrella propped up. The First Floor Corridor was blocked by Trees, so before retrieving the Umbrella and revealing the Desk and Chair, there was no need to worry about being discovered...
As Kuni Shigu confessed, the entire haunting Incident became clear.
The sobbing sound in the Gym Storage was Because Kuni Shigu had been Hospitalization due to an Accident before, and when he came back, he heard that his Good Friend Hideaki Hosaka had died after falling down the Staircase. That morning in the Warehouse, he saw Hideaki Hosaka's Tables and Chairs placed in the Warehouse covered in Dust, and speculated whether Hideaki Hosaka had been bullied and Isolate to death during his Hospitalization, so he cried softly in the Warehouse.
In Other Words, thinking that his Good Friend was bullied to death, Kuni Shigu, after hearing that his crying was regarded as haunting, Intentionally created a series of haunting Incidents.
In the morning, the four Books scattered randomly on the Floor in the Library were brought by Hideaki Hosaka to read to him to relieve boredom when he went to see him. Because the Books were very unpopular, after he found the four Books, he threw them on the Library Floor every morning. As Long As someone checked the borrowing records, they would find that those Books were almost only borrowed by Hideaki Hosaka, and it would naturally be associated with the Matter of Hideaki Hosaka's Ghost.
The Staircase having an extra step was Because a Student was nervous, so he counted wrong, it was a coincidence.
A Student discovered 'cursed Tears' under the Staircase Outside the Art Room, Because he applied wax on the Floor above and Vicinity the Groove for placing the Fire Extinguisher. Every day after School Dismissal, he would run Home to bring over the Ice Cubes that had been frozen. Because his Home was close to the School, the Ice Cubes would not melt halfway. Afterwards, he put the Ice Cubes into the Groove and blocked it with the Fire Extinguisher. After a Night, the Ice Cubes melted, and Ice Water flowed out of the Groove. And Due To there being wax on the Floor below and Vicinity the Groove, the Students who arrived at School early the next morning would not see Water near the Groove, and would not suspect that the Water flowed out from the Groove. His Method had never been discovered...
Soon, the Art Student who draws also spoke about the Matter two years ago.
Hideaki Hosaka was not bullied or pushed down the Staircase by someone. Two years ago, that morning, new Plaster Statue were delivered to the Art Room. He and Hideaki Hosaka were on duty, so they came to the Art Room early in the morning, wanting to move the Plaster Statue to the Art Room and scare the Teacher who opened the Door.
At that time, as they were talking, Hideaki Hosaka accidentally walked onto the Staircase to the Third Floor. Hearing him call out, he turned his Head back, and in a panic, his Foot slipped and he fell down. In order to protect him and the Gypsum Statue, he also cushioned them underneath, causing severe Head injuries, and finally died after rescue efforts failed.
As For why Hideaki Hosaka's Desk and Chair were in the Warehouse covered in Dust, according to Kazumi Tsukamoto, it was Because Hideaki Hosaka left a Signature on the Desk and Chair with a pencil. Their Classmate didn't want the Desk and Chair to be used by others, causing that Signature to be erased, and also wanted to include Hideaki Hosaka's Desk and Chair when taking graduation photos at Graduation, so the whole Class pooled money to buy a set of Desk and Chair, and put Hideaki Hosaka's Desk and Chair in the Warehouse for preservation.
After Kuni Shigu finished listening, he was stunned for a long time, "Then In Other Words, that Fellow has no Resentment at all..."
"If there is Resentment, it should be directed at me," the Art Student who draws said dejectedly, "Because I was the one who proposed that Prank of scaring the Teacher..."
"No, I think he has no Resentment towards anyone," Shinde Tomoaki spoke out, his Sound gentle, "Because the First Doctor called to the Crime Scene at that time was me. At that time, he kept saying, 'If I fall down here like this, the Teacher will probably be even more surprised'..."
Kuni Shigu was stunned for a moment, then randomly lowered his head and chuckled, "That really sounds like the Words he would say."
The Incident was solved, everyone went Home, the sky was already completely dark, Puddle on the Street after the Rain, reflecting the water light.
Suzuki Sonoko walked on the Street, yawned, and still felt sleepy.
"As expected of Sonoko," Mouri Ran said with a smile, "Amazing Deduction!"
"Ah, is that so?" Suzuki Sonoko responded, completely confused.
Didn't they leave the School afterwards? What Deduction? What happened afterwards?
Never Mind, everyone says she did Deduction, then she did Deduction then.
"But I really Unexpectedly," Mouri Ran turned her Head to look at Shinde Tomoaki, "Doctor Shinchide actually heard that Student's Will."
"No, Actually at that time, he was already completely exhausted and had no Strength to speak at all. I just think that saying it like that might make that high school Art Student feel a little better. Next, I will also pay attention to his Situation. If his Emotion is still unstable, I will also propose to the Principal to find a Psychologist to hold a consultation Activity at the School," Shinde Tomoaki smiled and looked at Chi Feichei, who was walking silently Aside, "Moreover, Hissashi seemingly doesn't like Psychologists very much. Actually, it's nothing. Many Adults are also afraid to go to the Hospital and see Doctors, Because Hospitals are always associated with bad News. So I was thinking, if my Words can make him feel a little better, As Long As I have a Psychologist come to give a lecture, there's no need to specially have him see a Doctor."
Mouri Ran couldn't help but smile, "Doctor Shinchide is still so considerate of others."
Shinde Tomoaki followed absentmindedly, watching Mouri Ran walk and turn her Head to Say Words to Chi Feichei and Suzuki Sonoko.
"But, Brother Hichiji, you haven't been talking much tonight, is it Because you feel the haunting Incident is too childish? Sorry, for making you follow us around for most of the Day."
"No, it's Because I think having Sonoko is Enough."
"Of course, with me, Reasoning Queen Sonoko Majesty, here, there's no need for Brother Hichiji to take action at all. These Small Matters, I can easily Solve! I'm going to tell the Newspaper Company about this Matter tomorrow and get my Famous Deduction published in the Newspaper!"
