Conan's other me

Chapter 11 Haunted House Adventure (End)

"To me, the sound of your breathing..." Fengyuan turned around, "it's as obvious as the oncoming high beam."

What caught my eye was a tall, thin woman in a long black dress with long hair reaching her waist.The hair covers half of the face, and the expression cannot be seen. If the face is not old and wrinkled, it is completely the setting of a female ghost in a horror movie.

The other party did not expect this scene, holding a dirty rag in one hand, and trying to block the light from Fengyuan's flashlight with the other hand.

She looked overwhelmed.

Fengyuan glanced at the rag in the opponent's hand, "It's covered with drugs? Can't you get a cleaner towel?"

"...Damn brat..." The woman's body trembled slightly.

"Wow…"

"Give me...get out of this house!"

The old woman in black was obviously broken, after all, she had already been discovered.She shook off the rag in her hand, took out a sharp dagger from her bosom, and rushed over, with fierce eyes looming in the loose hair.

He said "get out", but he was obviously murderous.

"So... it should be considered self-defense?"

Feng Yuan said to himself, the mineral water bottle in his hand slipped, and then took a step back——

volley.

The mineral water bottle hit the old woman's face like a cannonball. Before she could even realize what happened, she felt herself flying backwards under the force of the impact, and passed out very "scientifically".

Nice, hit the bullseye.

Kaedehara retracted his feet, and then his eyelids twitched.Another mineral water bottle flew towards him at a faster speed than just now—fortunately, he was a child now, so he didn't have to hide, so this mineral water bottle flew over his head and hit the wall hard.

"..."

"..."

"...Are you too slow?"

"I'm sorry, sorry, my fault!" Conan ran over with only socks on his left foot and the shoe in his hand, "I have to put on the strengthening shoes first, and then I have to adjust the gear—"

Feng Yuan narrowed his eyes.

"Sorry... I was too slow." Conan sighed and chose to continue to admit his mistake.He took off his shoes and followed behind the old woman. Because he didn't dare to turn on the flashlight, he hurriedly put on the strengthening shoes when he sensed that the old woman was about to make a move, but he was one step too late.

Fortunately, there was no mistake.

"Is there no one else?" Conan asked, walking towards the fainted old woman.

"Should be gone."

"That's good."

Conan breathed a sigh of relief.Together, the two of them shone the light of the flashlight on the old woman on the ground.

Fengyuan noticed that the opponent's physical signs were still stable, and he was slightly relieved.

There was a loud noise in the distance.Ayumi and others ran towards this side while calling Conan and Fengyuan.Conan looked at the old woman's appearance.

"Strange... I seem to have seen it somewhere..."

"...Oh, that's right!" Conan thought for a while, "It's a photo of the family I saw before! Although many years have passed—but it must be true, this is the mistress of this family!"

"Really?" Fengyuan became alert. If this guy is the hostess, is his legitimate defense still valid?

"Look at the features, look at the cheekbones—" Conan stopped talking, and looked at Fengyuan suspiciously, "Aren't you another me, why don't you know this?"

"Too lazy to think about it." Feng Yuan replied.

Conan rolled his eyes and silenced his disbelief.It took him a long time to look at the photos of this family before he got some impression.But... what is the hostess of this house doing so sneakily in the house?
"Ke, Conan, Kaedehara!"

Kojima Motota ran to the two of them out of breath, followed by Mitsuhiko and Ayumi, "What happened——"

Then the three of them saw an old woman lying unconscious on the ground with disheveled hair and dressed in black.

"ah--!"

Ayumi screams!

"You, you caught the female ghost!?" Mitsuhiko looked surprised, feeling that his scientific world view was beginning to collapse.

"It's us! We were together, and of course we caught it!" Yuan Tai said dissatisfied.

Hey, hey...why are you still taking credit... Conan couldn't help but touch his forehead.

The trio from Didan Elementary School made a fuss for a while, and then decided to control the female ghost first.Mitsuhiko volunteered to say that there was a roll of rope in the house just now, so he ran back to get it.

So under Conan's speechless eyes, the three tied up the old woman tightly, and gagged her mouth with a dirty rag on the ground.

...It looks like I won't be able to wake up for a while.

"That's how it was filmed in the movie!" Mitsuhiko tied a knot on the rope and said with satisfaction, but then he hesitated, "I don't know if it's my illusion, I feel like this female ghost is like a living person..."

"Because she is alive." Conan said.

"……Hey!?"

Conan explained, Ayumi and Genta accepted the reality with some frustration, while Mitsuhiko welcomed the reality with some cheer.

"So, Conan, what should we do next?"

"...you should watch her first," Conan hesitated, "I'll call the police."

Said to call the police, but actually wanted to discuss with Fengyuan first.Conan walked a little further away, and then waited for Fengyuan to come over.

"Surrender yourself?" Feng Yuan followed.

"Surrender yourself?" Conan froze for a moment, then realized, "Hey, hey——"

"Okay, I understand..." Fengyuan sighed, "So, we sneaked into someone's house, knocked out the mistress, and then called the police to arrest the mistress?"

...Don't say that we are like heinous criminals!

It's not us who took the knife to kill!

Conan complained in his heart, and glanced back at the bound hostess, "In short... she obviously has a secret that she doesn't want to be discovered by others. I suspect it has something to do with the murder five years ago," Conan said, "Besides, we can't wake her up now, return the knife to her, and apologize to her, right?"

In that case, the haunted house adventure will become a bungalow battle royale.

For the safety of Ayumi and others, Conan had no choice but to suppress his curiosity, and Fengyuan had no choice but to suppress his inner guilt, and unanimously agreed to call the police, and at the same time, he was mentally prepared to be scolded.

The police arrived soon, led by Megure Police Department, a person who often called Kudo Shinichi "brother".He has a fat belly, but looks very dignified.

The three of Ayumi actively and reluctantly took two police officers up to find the old woman with a knife who was still unconscious.

……

This is the end of the first adventure of the elementary school students.

It wasn't until the next day that Conan called the Megure Police Department with the voice of Kudo Shinichi using the bowknot voice changer invented by Dr. Ari, and they knew the whole story.

"The hostess yelled to bring food to her son after she woke up," Conan said with a complicated expression, "The Mumu Police Department and the others rushed back to find the son in the basement. He was so hungry that he had no energy left."

Five years ago, the son of this family killed his father by mistake in a moment of anger, and his mother, the old woman, wanted to delay the case beyond the retrospective period for the sake of the son's future, and locked her son in the basement for five years despite his son's desire to surrender.

Obviously for the sake of his son's future...but he did this kind of thing.

It's certainly a sad story, one that grew out of "for your own good."But anyway, the truth of the matter makes this haunted house adventure seem less sinister.

Fengbara comforted himself, walking on the way to school with Conan, and saw Ayumi and others waving towards them from a distance.

"Conan, Fengyuan! Let's go hunting ghosts today!" Ayumi happily ran over, "Genta found another haunted house!"

……

Even if I jumped from here, it would be impossible for me to go!

Feng Yuan is serious.
