"Conan, why don't you go too~" During the break, Ayumi ran up to Conan and extended an invitation, "Let's go ghost hunting!"
"Catch... ghosts?" Conan was confused. As an atheist who firmly believes in science, the great detective Kudo Shinichi absolutely does not believe in the existence of supernatural forces in the world.
Hearing Conan's suspicious tone, Genta, who was sitting in front, felt unhappy, "Oh, Ayumi, calling that guy will only get in the way!"
"But Genta and I are the only ones going..." Ayumi came back to her senses and retorted aggrievedly to Genta. At the same time, she glanced at Shirai Ku, who was staring out the window in a daze next to Conan.
"..." Conan, who was observing carefully, noticed the hidden difference in Ayumi's eyes. He looked at Shiraijiu who had no reaction to the movement here and looked at Shiraijiu speechlessly. He shook his head helplessly and asked Ayumi, "Then, you first
Tell me, where does the ghost live?"
Conan's conversation made Ayumi very happy, "It's an old bungalow in the fourth chome!"
"Four-chome...?" Conan had a vague impression of this address.
"Yes!" Looking at Conan's confused expression, Ayumi immediately felt the desire to tell her story, "I heard that five years ago, the owner of that house was found hacked to death in the house... and now it has become a haunted house.
!”
"The deceased's wife and children seemed to have moved to another place later." Ayumi's mellow narration even attracted Yuanta, who knew the whole story from the beginning. "After that, the evil ghost lived there..."
While listening, Conan glanced sideways at Shiraijiu, and found that Shiraijiu's attention was still outside the window, so he cooperated with Ayumi and asked her to say more, "Evil ghost...?"
Sure enough, Ayumi was guided, "I heard from neighbors who live nearby that they sometimes hear scary noises in the middle of the night... and a wild dog broke into the house randomly, and was found the next day with only a pile of bones..."
As Ayumi spoke, she became scared herself and her voice trembled, "When I went home last night, I also saw... ghosts floating by the window..."
"Will-o'-the-wisp!!"
"Wow--!"
Ayumi's scream echoed through the classroom, successfully diverting Shiraijiu's attention.
These words sounded like someone was living inside.
Shiraijiu held his head and looked at Ayumi and the others in boredom.
I didn't expect that Kudo Shinichi, a high school student, would be interested in playing with these elementary school students today.
"It's all made-up nonsense." Mitsuhiko, a classmate on the other side of Conan, suddenly spoke out, "Now is the age of science, and there are no ghosts in the world. Those are just things made up by comics or TV."
"Huh?" Conan looked at Mitsuhiko next to him with some surprise. He had been transferring to another school for so long, and he really didn't realize that this little classmate's ideas were so mature.
Secretly looking at Shiraijiu who had turned his attention away again, Ayumi felt that her plan had gone bankrupt again, and she was a little frustrated. As a good friend, Genta immediately became upset, grabbing Mitsuhiko by the collar and yelling: "What did you say?"
?!You mean Ayumi is lying?!"
The soft and weak Mitsuhiko could only give in when facing Genta who was as strong as a rice ball, "No, I just..."
Yuantai didn't give him a chance to defend himself. He must help Ayumi get this done today, "That's it, you come with us! Let's prove that there are no ghosts in the world!"
"Ah...should I go too?!" Mitsuhiko didn't expect that he would be dragged into this matter just by interjecting and expressing his opinion.
"If you don't come...I won't spare you!"
Genta over there handled Mitsuhiko perfectly, and Ayumi also had to work hard - although her purpose of coming here was still to attract Shirai Ku's attention, so that everyone could go on adventures together and make friends... But the will-o'-the-wisps she saw were real!
"Conan, you must believe me, right?"
"Ah..." Conan wanted to say that it wasn't that he didn't believe in Bumi, he just didn't believe in ghosts in the world. But looking at Bumi's hard work, Conan felt that it was a bit bad to hit a primary school student like this, so he could only just click a little.
Head, "Well..."
"Very good! After school tomorrow, the five of us will set off to explore the haunted house together!"
"Oh——!" Ayumi happily raised Conan and Mitsuhiko's hands in agreement.
"Eh? Five?" Mitsuhiko was pulled in in a daze and quickly asked a question. He looked at it and reconfirmed that the only ones who had decided to go to the haunted house together should be Genta, Ayumi,
Conan and himself, there are only four people, right?
"That's because if Conan joins, Shirai-san will definitely come too!" Ayumi blushed slightly and said nothing. Genta said this with a matter-of-fact expression.
Shiraijiu, who was named, turned his head and stared at Genta who was speaking.
When did she become bound to Conan? Come on, tell me, make it clear.
"..." Yuantai turned his head guiltily after being stared at.
"..." Ayumi continued to lower her head and said nothing, but she became more and more uneasy.
Mitsuhiko looked at both sides, thought for a while, and gradually deduced the original appearance of the matter, "Could you be..."
Before he could finish his words, Yuantai pulled him over with a fierce look and covered his mouth.
——If you dare to cause trouble again, believe it or not, I will really beat you up?
Genta's expression said this.
Mitsuhiko chooses from his heart.
Shirai had no interest in messing around with them anymore, "I don't...well."
Shiraijiu was blocked by Conan's palm.
"Ah hahaha...she will indeed go, hahaha..."
Shiraijiu:????
Kudo Shinichi, is there something wrong with you?
Speaking of Baijiu himself, he was pretending to be a child when he was a high school student in time travel, and now he has to pretend to be a primary school student. In fact, his mental age is older than Conan imagined. He can also play with children on a whim. Baijiu is the best.
Just to amuse the children.
Such a mentality will definitely make you stand out among children. It will increase the possibility of exposure. It is better to just pretend to be withdrawn.
"Then~ let's settle it~"
Shiraiku couldn't say no when Conan covered his mouth, so Ayumi acquiesced in Shiraiku's agreement and happily announced the establishment of tomorrow's five-person expedition team.
Immediately afterwards, class began.
Conan smiled dryly despite Shiraijiu's death gaze and retracted his hand, sat upright and looked at the blackboard, looking like a good boy who was taking the class seriously.
After a long time, he heard Shirai Jiuji's quiet voice next to him: "One week of duty and homework."
Conan:……
Nothing new and no difficulty requirements. But I agreed anyway.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief.
Speaking of which, why did he help Ayumi get close to Shirai Ku, but in the end, all the duties and homework fell on him? Really, it was a bit of a disadvantage...
Forget it... Shirai is always running around recently, and he can't follow him. He simply feels uneasy. He always wonders if Shirai Jiu was discovered by the black organization, and then he and the Mori Detective Agency were implicated.
Yes, I haven't been able to sleep well these past few days. It's good to be able to use this reason to tie her down.
With evil intentions in mind, the day passed in a blink of an eye, and all five children gathered in front of the gate of the ancient bungalow on the 4th chome.
