Conan's other me

Chapter 10 Haunted House Adventure ([-])

There is a bungalow in [-]-chome. Five years ago, the owner was killed in the house, and no one has lived in it since then.Since there are often scary noises in the middle of the night, the house has gradually become a haunted house.

Ayumi Yoshida, who was passing by last night, saw the will-o’-the-wisp floating by the window, so she planned to take her friends to explore together—when she came to school, she met Conan and Fengyuan again, so she brought it up like this.

The two agreed.

Fengyuan felt that even if he didn't go, these children would go, which made people feel uneasy. Although he didn't have any impression of this expedition, since Conan was dispatched, it is obviously good to have multiple hearts.

Conan remembered the unsolved case that happened in the house five years ago, and wanted to see if there were any clues... and he really couldn't refuse these children.

Because he wanted to resolve this matter earlier, Fengyuan proposed to change the time from tomorrow to today after school.So soon, five people came to this bungalow.

A few people bought some food, a few bottles of water, and a few flashlights on the way.Yuantai came out of the unused classroom along the legs of two chairs, one for him and Conan.

Conan was carrying his schoolbag like this, holding the leg of the chair in his right hand, and looked at the bungalow in front of him with a hopeless expression.

The house looked abandoned for a long time.There is a row of crows standing on the roof, and occasionally a few of them fly up and move around. The scene in front of you can be called "drunk vines, old trees, faint crows", but there is no "little bridge and flowing water".

It was getting dark.

From the outside, the house in front of me really looks like a haunted house.Several people stood and watched for a while before trying to go in.

The iron door outside was locked and couldn't be opened, but a few children groped around and found a secret entrance, which was bigger than a dog hole, and it was not too difficult for children to get in.

In fact, Fengyuan did not agree with this behavior of breaking into other people's homes at will.However, considering that this group of children, including Conan, will randomly break into occupied houses in the future, it is not difficult to accept following them into an abandoned house.

People, always have to get used to it.

A group of people came to the door through the overgrown garden. Yuan Tai stepped forward and pushed it and found that the door was not closed, so a small crack was exposed at the front door.It was dark inside, giving people a gloomy feeling.

Yoshida Ayumi retreated a bit.

"I... we'd better go back..."

"Coward! It's all here!" Yuan Tai said dissatisfied, "If you want to go back, you should go back alone!"

Fengyuan looked at Yuantai with some surprise.He thought this kid had some thoughts about Ayumi... Should I say that he really deserves to be a kid?
Ayumi pulled Conan's sleeve a little bit wronged, and Conan had no choice but to comfort him: "It's okay, there are so many of us."

"Then, Conan and Fengbara will protect me, right?" Ayumi's eyes lit up.

"..."

You'd better go back.Conan complained in his heart.

Why did you bring me along.Feng Yuan complained in his heart.

Displeased Genta pushed open the door and strode in. Mitsuhiko followed him, Fengyuan was in the middle, and behind him were Ayumi and Conan who had secretly thrown away the chair legs.

Entering the main entrance, under the light of the flashlight, you can see two sculptures of gargoyles in the main hall, which startled a few elementary school students, so Genta and Mitsuhiko couldn't help but slow down and landed behind Fengyuan.

Fengyuan didn't take it seriously, and walked in the front to lead the way.

Before crossing, he basically stayed at home in his free time, so the current adventure is a novel experience for him.

The doors to the room were mostly closed and there was dust everywhere.It looks like no one has been here in five years.

But as time passed and gradually got used to the darkness, several primary school students started talking and laughing again.

squeak--

The sound of an old door opening.

"ah!!"

The exclamation of Ayumi and others.

At this moment, they had reached the second floor, and the door of a room not far from Fengyuan's body opened suddenly, but no one came out.

The elementary school students were terrified, but Fengyuan walked forward unhurriedly.Conan saw the opportunity and followed.

"Conan, Fengbara..." Ayumi yelled worriedly.

"Damn it!" Yuantai and Mitsuhiko also followed, "I'm not afraid of ghosts—"

Inside the house, the windows were half open, the curtains were blown, and the wind was blowing.

"..."

"Oh! That's it - it's just the wind blowing the window open!" Mitsuhiko said.

"Cut," Yuan Tai waved the chair leg in his hand, "I thought I could catch ghosts!"

The elementary school students were both relieved and a little disappointed that there were no ghosts.But soon they cheered up again and planned to rest here.

Of course, it's not because I'm tired... It's just because I've explored about half of the room, and I don't have a chance to eat the food I brought if I don't rest.

"Maplehara, have you noticed?" Conan leaned over.

"Well, the window is open, but there is no trace of wind and rain in this room." Fengyuan glanced at the three little ones sitting on the ground, "It's even quite clean."

"And there is a secret entrance in an inconspicuous place. People must come and go in and out of this house!" Conan said, "If you live here...you can have no electricity, but you must need water...just go and see if water can be released from the faucet to confirm...But what is the purpose of living in such a deserted house and not wanting to be discovered?"

"A fugitive?"

"...That would be dangerous," Conan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Ayumi and the others who were feasting, feeling a little headache, "Now we have to find a way to coax these little brats back, and then we'll come back to investigate..."

I thought you were going to call the police... so you still have to come back.

Feng Yuan was speechless, stood up, and took a bottle of mineral water from Ayumi.

"Huh? Is Fengyuan-san going out?"

"Yeah...I'm going to the toilet and I'll be back in a while."

"Oh..." Ayumi nodded her head suddenly, "Then come back soon!"

"Take a bottle of water to go to the toilet? It's really yours." Conan leaned forward again, "What do you want to do?"

"Don't do anything." Kaedehara tossed the water bottle in his hand, walked to the door with Conan, and said in a low voice amid the sound of Yuanta chewing potato chips, "By the way, Conan, are you really Kudo Shinichi too?"

"what?"

"Since your observation ability is so good...why didn't you find anyone secretly following us?"

Conan froze for a moment, his face changed slightly.Kaede Principle had already opened the door and walked out—then closed the door.

The sound of the wind in the room was suddenly blocked outside the door, and the corridor fell into a dead silence.

The sound insulation effect of this room is better than he imagined... Fengyuan turned on the flashlight, took a picture from left and right, and then walked towards the bathroom that he had passed by before.

Having said that, not only broke into other people's houses without permission, but also used other people's toilets... and thinking about the fact that the toilet may not be able to flush... Tsk, this is really immoral.

Fortunately, he is not such a person.

Through the long corridor, Kaedehara stopped, looking like he was tossing the flashlight in his hand.The lights flickered back and forth.

Behind Fengyuan, who couldn't see it, a shadow was slowly approaching.
