Tsukamoto Sumi found the library administrator and found four books that Hideaki Hosaka had borrowed that were rumored to be haunted. She also got the borrowing record cards of the four books.
"The four books are not very common." Mao Lilan looked at the four books on the table.
"Electrical and Communication Engineering", "Report on Tropical Rainforest Destruction", "History of the University System", "Analysis of Rock Formation Destruction Sound"... just looking at the title of the book is very unpopular.
Conan picked up the four library cards on the table and looked down, "And except for Hideaki Hosaka, almost no one has lent out these four books. He was also the last person to borrow these books."
"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko rubbed her chin and thought, "It seems a little strange."
"Then let's go see the next place!" Conan raised his head and smiled, the left lens of his glasses reflecting the light.
It's such an unpopular book, it's hard to remember the name, and it's a book that no one has borrowed except Hideaki Hosaka. It's really rare that all four of them were randomly thrown into the library in the morning...
As expected, someone was behind the matter this time, and it was an acquaintance of Hideaki Hosaka.
It is not easy for most people to remember the titles of these books. The other person must have had contact with Hideaki Hosaka for a long time and wonder which books Hideaki Hosaka borrowed!
This mathematical beauty girl is a classmate of Hideaki Hosaka, and she seems to have a good relationship with her. She is also on the list of suspects who may 'promote haunting rumors.
Tsukamoto Sumi planned to stay in the library and read, instead of running downstairs with a group of people.
The next haunted place is the staircase where Hideaki Hosaka fell down. The school rumored that there will be one more staircase here.
Conan asked Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan to go up the stairs side by side, while counting the steps in their hearts.
At the end of the stairs, Suzuki Sonoko turned around and asked Mao Lilan next to her, "Xiaolan, how many steps are you counting?"
"Mine is level 12." Mao Lilan said.
"Ah!" Suzuki Sonoko suddenly looked horrified, "I counted level 13!"
At the bottom of the stairs, Chi Feichi sighed softly, turned to face the window, took out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it.
"The correct answer is the 12th step." Conan was helpless. He could have counted all of them wrong. Look, even Chi Feichi couldn't stand it anymore. "Sister Yuanzi was probably too nervous. When she reached the top of the stairs and put her feet together, she couldn't stand it.
Counting one level..."
Suzuki Sonoko became angry with embarrassment, her face quickly turned red, "I know, I just need to count it one more time!"
Conan: "..."
He reminded me kindly, but ended up making people angry?
"Wow--"
The door of the art room next to Conan was opened. The male student wearing glasses and with short hair parted in the middle said angrily, "Hey, can you guys be quiet? I can't even concentrate on painting!"
Chi Feichi glanced at it late and continued to smoke while looking out the window.
Most of the male classmates in Tedan High School are old-looking and look older than him, and also older than Toru Amuro, who is in his late thirties...
"I'm sorry." Shinde Tomaki quickly scratched his head and apologized to the other party with a smile.
"I'm sorry!" Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan also ran down the stairs, but the other seemed to be in a bad mood. Without saying a word, they closed the art room door again with a bang.
Tomaki Shinde looked at the closed door with some doubts in his eyes.
This...he didn't recognize it, but seemed to have seen it somewhere before.
Chi Feichi looked out the window, "I'll go check out that table after I finish my work."
"table?"
Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan came to the window.
Looking out the window on the second floor, in the courtyard outside the teaching building, a desk is placed alone in the middle of the courtyard, which looks very strange.
There was also a piece of paper blown by the wind pressed by a stone on the table. Because the distance was too far, they couldn't see clearly what was on the paper.
Conan jumped up, put his hands on the window and looked around, then immediately jumped down, turned around and ran downstairs.
"Conan!"
Mao Lilan started chasing Conan every day.
Chi Fei belatedly saw that Suzuki Sonoko and Shinde Tomaki were also chasing after him. He did not rush to follow. He looked out the window and smoked for a while before going downstairs. He put out the cigarette on the trash can downstairs and threw the cigarette butt in.
In the trash can.
With his eyes closed, he could recall what was on the desk, what was written on the paper, and the truth of the matter, whether he looked at it or not.
Conan and Tomaki Shinde also came back with the piece of paper. Due to stepping on the wet mud after the rain, the bottoms and sides of the slippers provided to visitors by the school were also stained with mud, leaving four footprints after stepping on the stairs.
Suzuki Sonoko quickly asked, "Then, could that desk be..."
"Yes, it was placed in the warehouse before. The desk used by Hideaki Hosaka has the same signature on the lower right corner of the desk." Conan said sternly, spreading out the paper he got, "There is also a writing brush on the paper.
The words 'My hatred has not yet been eliminated' were scrawled on it."
"On paper, it didn't get wet by rain, which means it was moved there after it stopped raining," Tomaki Shinde wondered, "But isn't this strange? The soil in the yard is wet because of the rain, but
Only Conan and I rushed over to look at the footprints left on the ground, and there were no footprints left by the man who moved the desks into the yard..."
"Ghost! The ghost has no legs. This is definitely the work of a ghost!" Suzuki Sonoko looked towards the yard in panic, then screamed and took two steps back, "Ah! That desk is gone again!"
Conan's half-moon eyes said, "Dr. Shinde and I just moved the desks back to the warehouse."
Tomaki Shinde also quickly explained with a smile, "If it causes a commotion, wouldn't it be playing into the opponent's hands?"
"By the way," Conan looked up at Chi Feichi, "When did Brother Chi see that desk?"
"When Yuanzi said there are 13 stairs." Chi Feichi said.
"Then when you turned around and looked out the window to smoke, the rain had stopped by that time," Tomaki Shinde paused, "But why didn't you tell us then?"
"You are counting the stairs." Chi Feichi gave a speechless answer.
Shinde Chiaki: "..."
Because they were counting... no, a desk and chair appeared in the deserted yard. Suddenly seeing such a strange thing, shouldn't they be surprised or curious and want to go downstairs to have a look?
Why could Chi Feichi wait patiently until they finished talking about the steps of the stairs, and then talk to the student in the art room...
Conan chuckled in his heart. He was used to it. Chi Feichi didn't seem to be surprised or curious at all when he saw something unexpected or strange. This guy was not normal. "When Brother Chi saw the desk,
Is this what it looks like now? Is there anyone nearby? Or is there anything strange nearby, such as a rope or something like that?”
"That's it, no one, no strange things." Chi Feichi answered Conan's three questions in one breath.
Conan frowned and thought for a moment, and he felt that Chi Feichi would not be wrong, "Then what happens next? While we were running down, brother Chi, you were standing in front of the second floor window and staring, right? Is there anyone who took advantage of us?
Leave when you run down, or recycle something?"
"No," Chi Feichi walked to the corridor near the courtyard and looked down at a long line on the wet dirt. "It was completed before I saw it."
"Huh?" Conan ran over quickly, but just by looking at a long line on the ground, he couldn't tell what traces it was.
Shinde Tomaki leaned next to Conan and looked, "It doesn't look like a line..."
Conan squatted down and observed the long marks on the ground, "But judging from the marks, they were left after the rain stopped. In other words, from the time the rain stopped until Brother Chi saw the desks and chairs outside the window, someone
What was used to create the strange stories that are yet to be explained, and when did the rain stop?”
"I didn't pay attention..." Shinde Tomaki and Conan looked at each other, then turned to look at Chi Feichi and three others standing in the corridor.
Suzuki Sonoko and Maori Ran shook their heads left and right, indicating that they didn't pay attention.
"It's five thirty-three in the afternoon," Chi Feichi said, "that's when we were just about to leave the library."
Conan recalled, "The time when Brother Chi saw a desk outside the window..."
"When the student in the art room opened the door, the clock on the wall behind him read five forty-two." Chi Feichi continued to tell the time. "The time when I saw the desks was about a minute in the morning. It should be afternoon."
Five forty-one."
Conan: "..."
Have you guys been infected by White Horse Detective?
Arata Tomaki sweated, "Fei Chi, you keep paying attention to the time, is it because you still have something to do soon?"
"I didn't pay special attention," Chi Feichi explained. "There are many clocks in the school, so I happened to see them."
Conan was too lazy to talk to Chi Feichi anymore and looked at Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, "Then let's go to the library and have a look. The library is on the third floor. There are many students there. Maybe someone will see it by the window.
The situation in the yard.”
A group of people walked upstairs again.
Suzuki Sonoko was silent for a while, and when she was approaching the second floor, she finally couldn't help but said, "Isn't it really a ghost? If you left a note like 'My hatred has not been eliminated', maybe Hosaka Hideaki died.
I felt wronged. I lay down on the desk and chair when it was raining and left this sentence on the note. I wanted to tell everyone..."
"ah!"
A man's scream came from the art room on the second floor.
Conan's expression changed, and he quickly ran down the remaining stairs in three and two steps, rushed to the art room, and opened the door.
Tomaki Shinde also quickly followed, "What happened?"
In the art room, the boy with glasses was sitting in front of the easel. His face looked ugly as if he had seen a ghost. He loosened his right hand holding the paintbrush and let the paintbrush fall to the wooden floor. He held his head in his hands and trembled all over, "Then.
, that guy really still holds a grudge... This ghost incident is also... the curse of Hideaki Hosaka!"
Conan was stunned, then stepped forward and asked, "Do you also know this student named Hosaka Hideaki?"
"Ah, yes..." The boy wearing glasses still looked horrified, his eyes unfocused, "He and I were members of the art club, until he fell down the stairs two years ago..."
"You said 'at that time'?" Mao Lilan was confused.
Suzuki Sonoko asked directly, "Were you present when he fell?"
The boy wearing glasses avoided answering, seemed to have calmed down, lowered his head and said, "Can you guys go out..."
