Jiang Xia walked into the "haunted house".
Dark clouds were gathering outside, and it was very dark inside. Without turning on the flashlight, I could hardly see anything.
Jiang Xia borrowed Guitai's night vision ability and walked silently along the dark corridor.
…
Soon, he found a piece of floorboard that had been lifted up on the ground at the end of the corridor.
This seems to be the entrance to a secret passage. There is a flight of steps that extends downward.
Jiang Xia moved closer with curiosity, observed for a moment, and vaguely smelled murderous aura from the passage.
"..." He nodded with satisfaction and walked in.
…
Follow the steps all the way down to the bottom.
At the end of the tunnel, a lighted basement appeared.
Jiang Xia remembered that this was the place where the filial son who killed his father failed to surrender and was imprisoned by his mother.
At this time, the basement door is open.
Conan's reasoning voice could be heard faintly inside.
…
Jiang Xia calmly walked to the door and took a look inside.
In the center of the room, across a row of iron railings, was a cell.
The son of the owner of the house was sitting in the cell with disheveled hair and an old shikigami on his lap, probably made by his father.
Outside the railing, there were three people in total.
——Conan, his female classmate Ayumi Yoshida. And a white-haired, very thin woman.
…
Jiang Xia glanced around and quickly fell on the woman with her back to him: "..."
The silver-white waist-length hair made Jiang Xia move her fingers slightly, reflexively wanting to grab something.
However, if you focus for a moment, you will find that the murderous aura in the woman is very dull. It can only be classified as "satisfying hunger", and it is not even as fresh as the murderous aura of the kidnapper last time.
The ghost baby looked at the white-haired woman in front of him, and after being startled for a moment, he looked slightly disappointed.
However, it is not as picky as Jiang Xia, and he is very satisfied if he eats it with murderous intent. So he still jumped down to the ground with great enthusiasm, ready to pick it up.
…
A few meters away, in the basement.
The white-haired woman held a knife and stared at Conan and Ayumi who were blocked by her in the corner, feeling extremely excited.
She turned her back to the door and didn't notice that there was another Jiang Xia there.
Conan did see it.
His reasoning voice paused for a moment, then quickly continued as if nothing had happened.
However, this fake primary school student obviously did not control his emotions well.
When I spoke, I felt much more energetic than before.
Fortunately, the white-haired old woman was not in a good mental state and did not notice Conan's abnormality.
Ayumi hid next to Conan and looked at Jiang Xia timidly, also making no sound.
I don’t know whether he became resourceful in the crisis or was too frightened to make a sound.
Of course, it could also be the common misconception that Yan Gou has - the big brother at the door doesn't look like a bad guy.
…
Conan is obviously the kind of detective who, once he reaches a conclusion, will finish his reasoning before he dies, even if he loses his life.
In fact, at first, the white-haired old lady didn't want to kill anyone.
Genta and Mitsuhiko, who were lying in the yard, were only stunned by her.
Because she thought that even if these first-grade children reported the crime, the police would not pay attention.
But now, Conan is different.
——Conan not only saw the people in the dungeon, he even guessed that his son was the murderer.
"There is a homeless man hiding in a haunted house" and "there is a wandering murderer hiding in a haunted house" are completely different.
If it's the latter, the police may come even if the person reporting the crime is a child.
…
So at this time, the white-haired woman listened to Conan's reasoning and felt some real murderous intent in her body.
When Conan said, "The one who killed your husband was actually your son," the old woman finally broke out.
"Shut up!" She grabbed Conan's neck and raised the kitchen knife with a ferocious expression.
Ayumi screamed and covered her eyes in fear.
Conan was also confused: "..."...Wait a minute?
Why is the script so different from what he thought?
——He clearly saw Jiang Xia just now!
Shouldn't the normal situation be: Jiang Xia deduces the truth on his own, Jiang Xia simultaneously controls the old woman, and finally the two of them smile at each other in tacit understanding, take out their mobile phones and call the police while hiding their merits and reputations.
...But now, where are the Jiangxia people?
Conan struggled to look back, but the old woman blocked his entire field of vision. The angry white-haired woman roared, suddenly raised the knife, and slashed hard.
When the tip of the knife was only a few inches away from Conan, someone finally grabbed her wrist from behind.
Jiang Xia took the kitchen knife away from the white-haired woman and pressed her hard on the shoulder.
The woman screamed "Ah!" in pain, half of her body became numb, and she collapsed on the ground.
What sounded together with her screams was the faint sound of police sirens outside the house.
——Jiang Xia called the police before coming in.
"..." Jiang Xia Xun Sheng glanced outside: He was really accurate in his footsteps, he is worthy of being a policeman in this world.
He threw the kitchen knife he had taken away into the corner, and suddenly found a mop at his feet, so he picked it up.
——Although the tunnel door is open, it will definitely take some time for the police to find the entrance.
Before the police arrive, seize the time to knock the murderous spirit loose.
——Conan's ability to attract hatred should not be underestimated. The more the fake kid reasoned, the more murderous the white-haired woman became... The amount of murderous intent now has far exceeded that when Jiang Xia first came in.
Jiang Xia looked at the man with murderous intent and raised the pole in anticipation.
At this time, the white-haired woman sitting on the ground covered her shoulders, turned around, and looked at Jiang Xia with a look of reluctance.
The two looked at each other.
The next second, the murderous aura wrapped around the old lady's body fell to the ground consciously.
...Maybe she weighed the strength of both parties, and then quickly realized that she couldn't continue killing. So she had to give up the idea of killing.
The ghost baby, who had been waiting nearby for a long time, couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
It trotted over and rolled up the fallen murderous aura into a fluffy ball, then brought it back and showed it to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia half-crouched down, took out the cigarette box containing Ghost Mint, tore open the sealed package, and let the murderous spirit in.
