Seeing the few people in front of him finalizing the matter of going to the haunted house in a few words, Belmode briefly fell silent.
...Angel and cool guy both want to go, so should you go or not?
"However, why does this address sound so familiar?"
Looking at the old landlord in front of him, Belmode recalled for a moment and suddenly remembered: Wait, isn’t this the new address sent by Calvados not long ago?!
“…”
The terrible child did not let Calvados go. But Calvados moved the house, and Kogoro and the others "accidentally" searched for it. This close time... Has the logistics been penetrated by Uzo?
"He obviously doesn't have much authority, how did he do this?" Belmode thought about it, only to find it incredible. "He can control so many people now, so when he becomes an adult, he will start to concentrate on handling the affairs of the organization... Wouldn't the entire organization become his nest?"
Although he was dissatisfied with the current boss, thinking about the future, Belmode raised his hand and pressed his forehead, and suddenly there was a despair when he came home and found that his home had turned into a spider's nest.
"But, thinking rationally, there is no reason for logistics to get in touch with that child. Maybe the problem is with Calvados."
A thousand-faced witch took a deep breath and quickly sorted out her mood: "No matter what, let's go with me quietly to see the situation first. If you are discovered, you will say that you are worried that it is really haunted and you are worried about going over and taking a look."
"In addition, this will make Uzzo think that I am close to Calvados, and thus allow that shield to better play the role he should have."
The fake doctor pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a cold light flashed across the lenses.
...
Soon, two groups of people set off one after another and headed to the apartment of the old landlord.
After getting off the car, Kogoro Mori looked up and tsk: "I thought it was so gloomy. Now it seems, isn't it just a little dilapidated small building?"
Old landlord: "…"
Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Ran Maori quickly smoothed out: "I didn't expect that opposite the apartment, there was such a beautiful and tidy park. It seems that the living experience here must be good!"
The old landlord laughed, and he didn't look like he had a desire for rent at all. He just focused on popularizing the legend of his own haunted house: "Do you still remember the 'female ghost I mentioned that I died in vain' - the corpse of that girl, which was discovered in this park."
Ran Maori: "?!"
The old man said gloomyly: "It was a dark night. Someone passed by here and suddenly found that there was a black sculpture in the park.
"The statue fell to the ground with a strange posture. Passers-by were a little curious, so they walked closer to check it. Unexpectedly, he found that it was not a statue at all, but a charred corpse that had been completely burned."
Ran Maori: "?!!"
When the old man saw her frightened, he turned around with satisfaction and pointed to an abandoned building next to the apartment:
"And this, do you know why it suddenly stopped working halfway through the construction?"
Ran Mori shook his head hard, not wanting to know at all.
The old landlord felt that she was just making a negative answer, so he continued to say to himself: "The person in charge of this building broke down because of the economic bubble. Since then, the building has been halfway here, and no one has come to build or demolish it - after all, the original site of this building is a small cemetery. Maybe after the construction worker died, others felt unlucky, so they didn't want to take over."
"..." One after another, Maori Ran's body was numb, and his expression calmed down.
The old landlord shook his head without any odor, turned his back to the apartment: "Forget it, let's sit in the house, and then let's talk slowly while drinking tea."
The group followed the landlord into the house.
Meanwhile, upstairs, behind a window with a slit open.
Calvados, who is cleaning: "..." The charred corpse? The cemetery? The construction worker jumping off the building?
The logistics company went bankrupt and could not afford the rent, so did he find such a haunted house to live in?
After all, according to the standards of ordinary people, if you move into such a house, let alone paying the rent, it is not an exaggeration for the landlord to pay him some rent every day.
...However, of course, the tough guy in the organization is not afraid of ghosts. He has burned the scorched corpses before.
A sniper snorted, threw the gloomy feeling that flashed through his mind, and continued to bury his head and wipe the table.
...
downstairs.
With a thud, the clean glass sliding doors opened, revealing the gloomy old wooden floors, narrow and dim corridors, and dilapidated yellow walls.
“…”
After a brief silence, Ran Mori grabbed his father's arm: "Dad, let's go back."
But Kogoro Mouri was recalled by this old style, and his time when he rented a house during his school days appeared in his mind. He waved his hand: "If you are afraid, just take a taxi back by yourself. I've come here, I want to take a look in this building."
"I'm going back alone? Then staying alone in the detective office?" Maori Ran felt that it was not possible, "Isn't that even more scary!"
Kogoro Mouri wanted to say something, but with the severe pain on his arm, he could only show a twisted expression.
At this time, the old landlord brought some slippers from somewhere, and he bent down and placed his shoes in the entrance hall: "Okay, come in."
Ran Maori could not persuade Kogoro Mori, so he had to change his mind and planned to capture Conan and go home together.
However, when she turned her head, she realized that Conan had changed into slippers and ran into the corridor happily, and was studying the paint-lost wall.
Ran Maori: "…"
She looked at the two detectives of the big and small, and felt a little disappointed: "Shouldn't you detectives concentrate on studying the case? Why are they all so interested in ghosts? What about materialism that is said to be!"
Behind him, someone laughed: "It is to prove that there are no ghosts in the world that we must concentrate on studying ghosts."
"But..." Maori Ran was about to refute, but suddenly realized something. She suddenly turned around and saw the new person at the door. She couldn't help but speak out, "Jiang Xia? Why are you here!"
Conan, who was in a hurry to solve the puzzle: "?!!"
He also turned around and saw that Jiang Xia was actually standing at the door. He looked at each other on both sides. The enthusiastic detective raised his hand and greeted him: "I saw your car halfway through, and it felt like it was a coincidence, so I came over and asked if there was anything I could help."
"Of course there is!" Ran Maori let go of Kogoro Mori and grabbed his arm, as if he was holding a bundle of life-saving straw, "Go home with me!"
