Chapter 648: Scared People Again
"Then I'll take that as your Comfort," Otoashi Houichi looked out the Car Window, "Oh! We're here, it's the Apartment Building across from the Park in front, let's just park the Car in the Park for now."
Chi Feichei drove the Car into the Park and parked.
After Mouri Ran got out of the Car, she looked around and found the Park deserted and lonely, "This Park doesn't seem to get many visitors, the Bush hasn't been trimmed in a long time."
"Yeah," Mori Kogoro walked to a blackened Street Light Pole next to the Car, "It looks like no one has come to clean it for a long time either, the Street Light Pole is all Black..."
"It's not entirely because no one is cleaning it," Otoashi Houichi got out of the Car and looked at the Street Light Pole, saying gloomily, "Miss Tian Yuan Lei was burned to death here 4 years ago."
Mouri Ran's Face instantly turned Pale.
Mori Kogoro also felt unwell all over, and silently backed away, moving away from that area.
Conan wasn't scared, but asked curiously, "Burned to death?"
"Yes, late one Night 4 years ago, someone passing by the Park Saw two Men standing here, silently watching the Corpse burning in the Firelight. Afterwards, the Police found the Identity of this Female Charred Corpse from the Driver's License that was not completely burned on the Charred Corpse. Her Name was Tian Yuan Lei, and it's said that the Dental Pattern also completely matched," Otoashi Houichi Saw Chi Feichei lock the Car Door and took the lead to walk towards the dilapidated Apartment Building across from the Park, "At that time, the Witness only Saw one person, look, the Wanted Order is still posted on that Utility Pole over there. She is lingering here because the Police have been unable to catch the Murderer and her Soul cannot ascend to heaven..."
After Conan followed, he Turn Head and Looked at the Utility Pole Roadside.
There was no Photo on the Wanted Order, only a Portrait.
The Man in the Portrait had Short Hair, drooping eyebrows, and a long Scar on his Face, looking very fierce.
Uh, anyway, he had never Seen such a person before, otherwise with that Scar, if he had Seen him, he would definitely remember.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Suspect had Plastic Surgery.
Otoashi Houichi Stop in front of the Apartment Building and Look Towards the Unfinished Building next to it, "As For that Building, it was due to the Bubble Economy that the bankrupt builder committed suicide and construction was halted. Afterwards, no one took over the construction of the Building, and it has remained like this until now. It is said that this Place used to be a Cemetery... Anyway, let's go inside and talk about it."
Conan Half-Moon Eyes, an Unfinished Building rebuilt from a Cemetery, it really is the kind of Place where Ghosts appear in Film and Television Plays.
He quickened his Footstep and caught up with Otoashi Houichi and Chi Feichei.
Mouri Ran fell behind, hugging Mori Kogoro's Arm, "Old Dad, I think we should go back... Conan and Brother Chi seem to be very interested in Ghosts, they definitely won't leave."
Mori Kogoro walked inside, "Weren't you insisting on coming along before?"
"Because I'm scared to go back alone," Mouri Ran carefully looked around the Old Apartment, "Let's go back, let Brother Hissashi take Conan here."
"We're already here, let's just take a look," Mori Kogoro said dismissively, "With your Old Dad here, no matter what kind of Ghost it is, I will make it reveal its True Form!"
"Wow, that's rare!" In the Corridor on the First Floor of the Apartment, a Young Man with flying eyebrows and a turned-up nose walked towards the Entrance, looking at the group of unfamiliar Faces with a strange Gaze, "The haunting just ended, and Guests are already coming to the Door, it seems tonight will be lively again..."
Chi Feichei also looked at the Man. He remembered that the person who played Ghost in this Incident looked like a Monkey, tall and thin, with a very prominent nose on his Face, at a Glance you could see two nostrils...
That should be this person.
"Lively?" Mori Kogoro looked at the turned-up nose Man in Doubt.
"Don't People All often Say that those Things like to be in crowded Places..." As the turned-up nose Man spoke, he felt a Cold feeling on the Back of Head, Turn Head and Looked, "Uh..."
Just now he Saw the Young Man following Old Man Otoashi, and didn't pay much attention, but now that tall Young Man in Black Clothes and White Clothes T-shirt was Standing by the Wall Side, he looked weird no matter how you looked at him.
Night was approaching, and some dim yellow Light shone in from Outside the Door. The Wall of the Old Apartment was cracked and yellowed. Under the Impact of the Light, the White Clothes on the other party also had a bit of an old feeling. There was no Expression on the Face under the Black Short Hair, and the Purple Pupil reflected the light of the setting sun, also a piece of Indifference. He just stood there quietly, as if he wasn't a living Human.
Mori Kogoro raised his Eye and also Saw his own disciple, "..."
For a Moment, he felt that what he Saw at this Glance was an old Spirit Photo.
This eldest disciple of his is really...
Look, he scared People All again.
Chi Feichei Saw Mori Kogoro Look at Oneself and shifted his Line of Sight from the turned-up nose Man to Mori Kogoro, "?"
Mori Kogoro: "..."
Being Staring at made him feel even more wrong.
Before, he was like a reclusive wandering Soul, but once he was Staring at by that kind of Gaze, it was like he was Staring at by a Vicious Ghost who was demanding his Life.
Mouri Ran Saw a group of People suddenly stop talking. In the quiet Environment, there was only the Sound of Otoashi Houichi opening the Locker at the Main Entrance with a click. She stiffly turned her Neck and carefully turned her Line of Sight to Chi Feichei, "Wh-what's wrong?"
Chi Feichei Turn Head and Looked at the Wall behind Oneself, "Nothing Abnormality."
Conan laughed dryly Aside, does this Fellow know that Oneself is the biggest Abnormality, huh?
"Uh, anyway, you guys just look around." The turned-up nose Man put away the inexplicable feeling of horror in his Heart and walked towards Outside Main Gate of the Apartment Building.
He knew best whether there were Ghosts in this Old Apartment.
Those were all Tricks he played. How could there be Ghosts in the World?
However, he Discovery that his Level of playing Ghost could still be improved. He had to think about it carefully, where did the horror that the Young Man brought him come from.
Quiet... No, it should be said that it was overly calm. The other party Looked at him as if he wasn't looking at a Human, and he couldn't Say what he was looking at. He just Staring at him straight, making his Scalp Numbing.
He could Feel that that Fellow was still Staring at his Back... He really encountered something Weird today!
Chi Feichei Watch Leave as the turned-up nose Man went out.
Is this a Human? No, this is a pile of moving Money, a Home Delivery Service that can be sent to the Metropolitan Police Department.
It's a Regret to just watch Money sway in front of Oneself's Eyes.
It's an even greater Regret that he can't put this person into a Home Delivery box.
"He is Mr. Banchi who lives in Room 4," Otoashi Houichi took out the Slippers for Guests from the Locker and put them on the Ground, "He works in a Model Shop and hides in his Room every day making some Scalp Numbing Plush Toy."
Chi Feichei withdrew his Line of Sight and Squatted Down to change his Shoes.
Okay, the Prop Master is gone.
But the Prop Master is not necessary. He originally Intention to use Special Effects in Movies or TV Dramas. With Sawada Hiroki and Ark, they can make the World's top Special Effects with the least Funds.
It's okay if the Prop Master is gone. He has Opportunity to talk to the Horror Movie Photographer living here.
"I think we should still go back!" Mouri Ran began to back down again, "What if it really appears..."
"What does it Matter?" The Door of the Restroom in the Corridor was Opened, and a fat Man walked out of the Door and walked towards his Room, muttering to himself mysteriously, "Isn't this more interesting? They have been silent for a long time Recently, will they appear today? It's really Expectation..."
"This is Mr. Yotsuya who lives in Room 2. He is a special Photography Mad Man. His Room is full of Horror Video Recording," Otoashi Houichi introduced, walking towards the Second Floor where he lived, "It is Said that he and his University Classmate also used this Apartment as the Background and used an 8mm Camera to shoot a Ghost Movie. I wonder if he is willing to let us Check it out..."
"That kind of Thing is not worth watching at all," A Man wearing Glasses, a Shirt and Suit pants stood at the Stairwell Entrance, looking like an Elite person. As he spoke, he walked Downstairs along the Staircase, with a hint of contempt in his Expression, "Horror Movies filmed with Phantoms that do not exist at all as the theme are inherently absurd and simply stupid."
"Huh?" Otoashi Houichi looked at the Man, "Mr. Botan, I remember your Room is No. 1."
"The Toilet in the First Floor Restroom is clogged, so I went to the Second Floor Restroom to use the Toilet." The Man explained, passing Otoashi Houichi and continuing Downstairs, "I don't care how you promote the haunting, but don't make a lot of noise and disturb People's peace, I still have a Thesis to complete Tomorrow..."
Mori Kogoro Turn Head and Watch Leave as the Man entered the Room, "Who is this again?"
"Mr. Botan who is studying at the Research Institute, he lives in Room 1," Otoashi Houichi withdrew his Line of Sight and continued Upstairs, "He is the only one here who has never Seen Ghosts."
Conan fell behind, looked up at Chi Feichei who was quietly following behind, originally Intention to ask Chi Feichei if he had Discovery any Problems, but in this kind of Old Building, Chi Feichei's calm Feeling really looked like a Ghost.
Chi Feichei Saw Conan staring blankly at Oneself and said softly, "Statement Conflict."
"Uh, uh!" Conan came back to his senses and Nod, nodded, and communicated in a serious low voice, "Mr. Banchi Said that we came just after the haunting, but Mr. Yotsuya Said that it has been silent for a long time, and when we Saw Mr. Yotsuya, he obviously came out of the First Floor Restroom. Before he came out, I also heard the Sound of the Flush Toilet, but Mr. Botan Said that the Toilet on the First Floor was clogged, so he went to the Second Floor to use the Restroom. There are Conflicts in their Words. Although it is not ruled out that none of them are Lying, For Example, only Mr. Banchi Saw the haunting just now, and the other two did not know, For Example, Mr. Yotsuya cleared the Toilet himself, but I think that even if no one is Lie, the Relationship between the residents of this Apartment is also very Weird."
"At least it shows that they are not in the same Group," Chi Feichei Said.
"Also Correct, then it is unlikely that they jointly created the Rumors of haunting," Conan nodded thoughtfully, Saw Otoashi Houichi opening the Door of Room 5 in front, temporarily Stop Footstep, looked up at Chi Feichei, "But, I still have a Problem..."
Chi Feichei also Stop Footstep and looked at Conan.
"It's just..." Conan Acting Cute smiled, "Brother Chi, you should still wear Black Clothes next time!"
He Discovery what was wrong. Chi Feichei wearing White Clothes and a Cold Face is not only not Sunshine at all, but also looks very much like a Ghost in the Old Apartment. It's better to wear Black Clothes.
Wearing Black Clothes, at most he looks like he's here to cause trouble, or to illegally demolish Buildings...
Chi Feichei looked at Conan.
Let him wear Black Clothes? This Famous Detective is probably out of his Mind.
