"I'll go to the 24-hour convenience store outside to buy some food, and you two will continue the investigation."
After Qin Zhibo reminded them, their stomachs started to grumble in protest.
However, Haibara Ai didn't want to stay with Amuro Toru and wanted to chase after him, but Qin Zhibo had already rubbed oil on his soles and slipped away.
There was no other way, Haibara Ai could only look back at Toru Amuro, who was thinking.
It is strange to say that Haiyuan Ai can detect the aura of organization members from this dark-skinned man. This cannot be denied.
But as long as you stay with him for a long time, this breath will become very weak and you can hardly "smell" it.
So now strictly speaking, Haibara Ai is not that afraid of Amuro Toru.
In addition, Haihara Ai had previously analyzed based on his own reason and experience that Amuro Toru lurked around Qin Zhibo as an assistant, and it was probably not for her.
Based on the organization's behavior, it will not lurk around the target for a long time because there is no need.
Therefore, this man named Toru Amuro is most likely just looking for a serious identity to cover himself, just like Miyano Akemi who also worked as an ordinary bank employee.
However, Haihara Ai later found out that Miyano Akemi was trying to rob a bank to redeem herself.
When Haibara was feeling sad and suspicious, Toru Amuro's voice came from the stairs.
"Little sister, you have to go downstairs."
"Don't get separated."
Toru Amuro's attitude towards this elementary school student who is sometimes naive and sometimes deep-tempered is cautious.
Haibara Ai glanced at Toru Amuro, did not answer, and followed silently with her little hands behind her back.
Toru Amuro: It’s getting deep again
…
Of course, when Qin Zhibo walked out of the apartment building, he didn't really go to the convenience store to buy something to eat.
At least not right away.
Spiritualism will summon some weird things, and of course this scene cannot be seen by others.
So Qin Zhibo wanted to find a quiet place without being disturbed.
He looked around and saw that the small park opposite the apartment seemed pretty good.
But there may be passers-by passing by in the park late at night. If the famous detective is caught having a psychic channel, there will be news in the newspapers tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
except the park
Qin Zhibo glanced at the unfinished building next to the apartment.
…
In the apartment, Toru Amuro was planning to conduct a survey and visit one by one.
Some people used anesthetic gases such as ether to keep themselves and others here, and also used phenolphthalein reagent to change the color to show off. This is already Chi Guoguo's provocative behavior.
Since you are sincerely issuing the challenge, I must expose you!
Although Toru Amuro may not be able to see the real ghost, which makes Toru Amuro feel a little disappointed, the other party's provocation has seriously aroused his competitive spirit.
A confident smile flashed across his face, and then Toru Amuro knocked on the door of the first tenant's room with Haibara Ai.
This is Room 2. The Yotsuya Toad man who lives here opens the door.
Toru Amuro explained his purpose of coming, and Yotsuya did not resist and invited Toru Amuro and Haibara Ai in.
"Yes, I have seen it."
"The will-o'-the-wisps in the building next door are sometimes red and sometimes cyan, but I've only seen that scene in the seniors' room upstairs."
As he spoke, Yotsuya opened the window and pointed out the room upstairs to Toru Amuro.
"But since the senior saw the will-o'-the-wisp, he was so frightened that he moved away quickly. On the contrary, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep, gurgling."
Yotsuya chuckled, it was obvious that he was indeed not afraid of ghosts and the like, and the senior who collaborated with him in the ghost film belonged to Ye Gong Haolong.
During the questioning process, Toru Amuro quietly looked around the room to see if there was any phenolphthalein reagent or ether reagent.
The pretender didn’t know that Qin Zhibo saw through these two tricks right away, so he probably didn’t have time to fix it.
But the room is mostly filled with photography-related equipment, cameras, film, horror-themed magazines and posters, and discs.
Haiyuan Ai, with her hands behind her back, picked up the magazine on the top of the pile of horror magazines, and saw a title with a horror tone.
"Doctor Frankenstein: The Resurrection of the Dead"
Haiyuan Ai frowned, sneered at this pseudoscientific title, and put the magazine back.
In addition to the various miscellaneous items, there is a specially built shed in the corner of the room, covered with a black plastic sheet.
"Excuse me, what is this?"
Yotsuya smiled slightly, "This is a simple darkroom I built. I can usually develop some simple photos in it, so I don't have to run to school frequently."
"Can I go in and take a look?" Toru Amuro said in an extremely official tone.
Yotsuya, who was broad-minded and fat, didn't care and even opened the door curtain himself.
"Please come in."
Entering the small darkroom, the space inside is so dark that only the placement of items can be distinguished by the dim red light.
There were films and photos hanging on one side of the wall, but Toru Amuro stretched out his head to take a look and found that the contents of the photos were all boring, and they were basically taken at the unfinished building next to the apartment.
"Excuse me, why do you take so many photos of unfinished buildings?"
Yotsuya smiled mysteriously, grinning to the limit, "Actually, I'm currently studying 'ghost photography'."
"Ghost photography?" Toru Amuro asked in confusion.
When this was mentioned, Yotsuya's expression became even more excited, even a little oozing under the red light.
“The technique of photographing ghosts first originated in the mid-19th century when a photographer named ‘William Muller’ invented this technique.”
"Ghost photography can capture the appearance of ghosts in the form of mist. It is a very great technology!"
Yotsuya talked freely, and Toru Amuro didn't know anything about ghost photography.
Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, became obsessed with ghost photography in his later years. He even ended his long-standing friendship with the magician Harry Houdini because of his stance on ghost photography.
The author who created the world's first detective character actually believed in ghosts, and even wrote a special article "Ghost Photography" to justify this, which sounds a bit ridiculous.
But Conan Doyle lost his son in his later years, and his son died in the war. This was also a way for him to express his grief that had nowhere to go.
Later, ghost photography technology was overturned by academic circles.
The photographer used multiple exposure and composite printing techniques to "create" ghosts, coupled with the information barriers of photography technology at the time, to create this scam.
People at that time believed that photos could not be modified and that they were real as soon as they were taken.
But in fact, photo editing technology has appeared around the same time as photo shooting technology.
Later, with the advancement of science and technology, ghost photography became difficult to achieve.
Toru Amuro didn't expect that this college student named Yotsuya was secretly studying this "technology" that had been abandoned for hundreds of years.
Seeing the doubt in Toru Amuro's eyes, Yotsuya smiled evilly.
"By the way. Do you want to see the ghost photos I took?"
