"Are you pretending to be a ghost?" Mao Lilan was afraid but wanted to continue listening.
"Yeah, just like Kaitou Kidd, the so-called miraculous performance is just borrowing a helicopter to hoist yourself up. It's not magical anymore if you see through it," Conan explained. "I remember that the doll wall at Brother Chi's house is at the corner of the entrance.
The glass door facing the balcony, right? It may be that the window and the light coming in from the outside create a magical projection, Haiyuan, where is the shadow you see?"
“It’s in front of the curtains on the balcony window,” Haiyuan lamented, “It’s opposite the doll wall.”
“It’s completely gone when you turn on the light, right?” Conan confirmed again.
Haiyuan Ai nodded, "Yes, so in the morning I found that the shadow I saw last night was very similar to the doll on the doll wall, so I suspected that it was because when Brother Chi opened the door, the light from the corridor outside was reflected on the balcony glass door.
It was projected onto the doll wall, and for some reason, the shadow of the doll was projected onto a nearby building, and then the shadow was projected onto the curtains through the glass windows, mirrors and the like of the nearby building. Although the Doll's Festival doll was a seated figure, I
What I see is a standing shadow, but in the process of shadow projection, there may be some changes due to some reasons. For example, the hanging paintings of a certain house are integrated into it, and I see that the shadow of the woman is just
For a moment, I didn’t see clearly.”
“Is this okay?” Mao Lilan was confused and doubtful about life.
Chi Feichi: “……”
Indeed, when he opens the door, the light from the corridor will shine from the door across the entire living room to the balcony glass door, and then reflect to the wall on the right hand side of the entrance and the right side of the living room, which is the doll wall.
He knew this very well, because he would sometimes stand at the door and look at the balcony glass door. When he opened the door, the glass door would reflect the entire living room and the doll wall. Although it was a little blurry, he could confirm at a glance that he was leaving.
Did anyone else enter the house?
If Xiaomei's shadow on the doll wall happens to be projected out for some unknown reason, and the glass or mirror of the nearby building is projected back on the opposite side, and the curtains in the living room that are not too light-blocking happen to play a role similar to a projection screen, then it is indeed possible.
Shadows are reflected on and in front of the curtains.
“Yes,” Conan nodded, “Actually, many ghost phenomena are caused by a combination of coincidences.”
Mao Lilan was dubious, "What happened when Xiaoai suddenly opened her eyes and saw the woman smiling when she was sleeping? The door is closed when sleeping, so the doll in the living room cannot be projected into the room, right?"
"Maybe I saw the shadow in front of the curtain before, thought too much and had a nightmare," Haiyuan Ai yawned, "I'm not sure if I was awake when I saw it last night, because I saw
I was very confused and fell asleep quickly.”
Mao Lilan sweated, "Xiao Ai is so brave..."
Is she the only one here who is afraid of ghosts? If it were her, she wouldn't be able to sleep at all.
"So it's not a haunting, and it's unlikely that Haiyuan is hallucinating," Conan thought, and suddenly had a suspicion, "Haiyuan, could it be that someone used projection, light mapping, etc. to pretend to be a ghost?"
If Chi Feichi saw a ghost, he might become suspicious and not get enough rest, which would lead to neurasthenia and worsening of his currently stable condition. In that case, he would be able to kill someone without even using his hands.
In other words, he suspected that someone wanted to harm Chi Fei Chi!
There is no doubt about the target.
First of all, to create this kind of projection phenomenon, you need to know where the doll wall in Chi Feichi's house is, because you can't see the doll wall area near the entrance from the opposite building. Even if you look in from the balcony door, you can't see it at most.
You can only see the sofa. Furthermore, to accurately create this kind of projection, you need to enter Chi Feichi's house, and you have to avoid Chi Feichi's sight to do small movements and adjust the position of the doll. Also, he happened to be there some time ago.
After investigation, Chi Feichi had simple interpersonal relationships. Apart from them, there seemed to be no other close people, but there were also no enemies. Except for the murderers whose plans were ruined by Chi Feichi, there were almost no people who resented Chi Feichi...
The only ones who knew the location of the doll wall and had the opportunity to secretly adjust the position of the dolls were him, who lived at Chi Feichi's place, Haibara Ai, Mrs. Kana, and Bermod.
Moreover, Belmod's purpose of approaching Chi Feichi is unknown. Although it seems that Belmod has no intention of attacking Chi Feichi, it cannot be ruled out that because of business competition or the grudges of the previous generation, someone wants to attack Chi Feichi.
, even Chi Feichi inadvertently made enemies, but that organization did not play assassination for a day or two, and had to guard against...
The blame on Belmod is +1!
Haihara Ai lowered his head and thought about it, "After I entered the door, I went to look in front of the curtains. There was no projector or anything like that, but I'm not sure yet if someone deliberately tampered with the nearby building."
“Have you seen that woman’s shadow before?” Conan asked.
If Chi Feichi has seen it before, then he can be sure that it was not a coincidence last night, and it is also a clue as to where he saw it in the first place.
Chi Feichi was silent for a moment. Ever since Xiaomei could float out of the doll body, he could see Xiaomei floating every time he went home. But if he told the truth, he might get a "worried look from everyone"
Add the 'Detective Conan Field Investigation Operation' gift package. Anyway, it is impossible to get Conan to admit that it is a soul...
"No."
“That’s it…”
Chi Feichi's moment of silence just now was regarded as a memory by Conan, and he had no doubts and thought silently.
So, was everything just a coincidence caused by something changing nearby last night? Or was it because of the angle that Chi Feichi couldn't see the shadow due to his height?
It's okay if it's the former, but if it's the latter, it means that the other party has even calculated the angle, and only focuses on the height of the primary school student, so that Chi Feichi won't see it...
Bermode’s suspicion is still high.
Huihara Ai is also thinking.
That woman didn’t do some tricks on purpose before she left, waiting for her to come to the door one day to scare her?
She is a person who advocates science and is not easily scared. She is like a child when she does this kind of thing, childish!
The blame on Belmod is +1!
Seeing that no one was speaking, Mao Lilan became nervous again, "Also, are there any questions?"
Conan came to his senses and said, "No, I just think this kind of projection is very interesting. I'm wondering if I should choose shadow magic as a topic for my next extracurricular homework."
"I'm also thinking about my homework," Haiyuan Ai decisively copied Conan's reasons, her cold face showing seriousness, "The holiday is coming soon, I don't have a clue about the topic of the holiday homework, and it's boring to do social surveys every time.
"
"That's it..." Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Conan and Xiao Ai are already thinking about holiday homework. They are working really hard, but don't put too much pressure on study. Your grades are already very good.
Bravo."
Conan acted cute, smiled and nodded, "Yeah~!"
Haiyuan Ai looked at Chi Feichi again, "In short, the black energy you see is probably because your brain has deceived you, and when your brain deceives you, it will use the things you have seen that exist in reality as prototypes.
Modify or completely copy, the things on the doll wall are all hung up with black wool, right? That should be the prototype..."
Chi Feichi: “……”
It makes sense.
"Last night was probably a coincidence. Even if someone deliberately pretended to be a ghost, I went to wash up in the morning. When I passed by the doll wall, I slightly adjusted the position of the doll. I will never see it again in the future," Haiyuan Ai said in a normal tone, but his expression was different.
He was very serious and warned, "Whether you see black energy or a phantom, don't be too nervous. However, if you see black energy too many times, I will accompany you to the hospital."
"That was the first time just now," Chi Feichi cooperated, "I will pay attention to it in the future."
After those prisoners were exposed in the past, some of them showed dark personalities and looked like they were broken, but at most they only had scary expressions and no black energy on their bodies...
They are not the protagonist group, and they are not even qualified to show black energy.
"What about Xiao Ai?" Mao Lilan asked, "Isn't it because you are hallucinating? It would be better to go to the hospital."
As a person who hides big secrets, Haiyuan Ai doesn't like to see psychiatrists and other people who like to explore people's hearts. However, after looking at Chi Feichi, he felt that he needed to set an example and nodded calmly, "I will do it tomorrow."
I have to go to school and go back to the doctor's place in the evening. It's just a change of environment. After a while, if I see the ghost of that woman again, then I'll go to the hospital to have a look. If I don't see it, it means last night was a coincidence.
, no need to trouble the doctor anymore.”
"That's right," Mao Lilan nodded. He looked up and saw that they were almost walking out of the commercial street while they were talking. "We almost passed..."
With that said, Mao Lilan looked at the drink shop next to him, then turned to ask Chi Feichi, "Let's go buy the beer dad wanted first. What would Fei Chi want to drink?"
“I’ll just drink beer with the teacher,” Chi Feichi said.
His teacher is a bad drinker. If he drinks alcohol with a high alcohol content, he will get drunk and start singing and dancing after a while.
Mao Lilan went to the liquor store and picked out a bunch of canned beer and small bottles of sake, and also bought juice.
Chi Feichi, as the person with the strongest physical strength present, took over the task of carrying the bag without hesitation.
“Should we buy beef next?” Mao Lilan walked to the freezer of a store on the street that contained beef, and was confused, “Eating steak doesn’t go well with beer, and we didn’t buy any red wine…”
Conan took a closer look at the price tag, "And the steak prices here are not cheap, although the prices here are not too exaggerated..."
Mao Lilan continued to struggle, "But I already had fish last night, and I have to change my taste today. I think it's better to eat beef? You can buy some ordinary ingredients to make curry beef... But if you only eat curry beef,
, it feels too casual.”
Conan: “…”
Forget it, he is a fool to give advice to a woman who is shopping.
Chi Feichi and Huiyuan Ai had a lot of pocket money, but they also offered to pay the bill themselves.
When Mao Lilan proposed to treat the guests to a meal, they had no objection no matter what they ate. It didn’t matter even if they boiled a bowl of water, but if they offered to pay the bill, it would change the taste.
“Xiaolan?” The woman on the side said in surprise.
“Huh?” Mao Lilan turned around and laughed when she saw the woman, “It’s Miss Sachiko!”
Conan’s childlike voice is cute, “Sister Xiaolan, who is she?”
“Didn’t I lose my student ID card once?” Mao Lilan explained with a smile, “Miss Sachiko Nishimura picked it up and brought it back for me.”
Conan remembered, "That's the sister."
“Here,” the store owner put the tray on top of the cabinet and asked Nishimura Sachiko to look at the beef, “are these two portions okay?”
“Okay,” Nishimura Sachiko said gently to the shop owner, “then I’ll trouble you.”
