After reminding Sera Masumi, Inspector Megure looked at Tatsuno: "How is it? Do you have any clues?"

Tatsuno: "?"

Clues? What clues? Am I not the suspect you called?

Seeing that Tatsuno did not reply, Inspector Megure continued: "Did you see the boy in the hat over there? He claims to be a detective!"

After that, Inspector Megure looked at Tatsuno with expectation and whispered: "You and Mori must not lose to him!"

Tatsuno was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a low voice: "Inspector Megure, you should say 'she'~ Her name is Sera Masumi, and she is a new student in our class."

Inspector Megure opened his mouth and murmured softly: "Female?"

Just as Inspector Megure looked at the "tomboy" opposite in surprise, Sera Masumi walked up to Tatsuno and Xiaolan and waved to them.

Seeing the stranger beside him greeting Tatsuno and the others, Conan blinked in confusion.

Does this person know Takeda and the others?

After a moment, Inspector Megure came to his senses and glanced at Tatsuno and Maori Kogoro, and said seriously: "Anyway, let's go to the annex first."

Sera Masumi nodded and said: "That's right! Since the murderer used such a clumsy method to fake the suicide scene, it means that he is just a complete "outsider". Such a person will definitely leave evidence at the crime scene!"

At this time, the three middle-aged men and women on the side suddenly had a heated discussion.

"That must be the case!"

"But... even if you tell the police about this, it's useless!"

"Anyway, let's talk about it first!"

The three people's discussion was not small, and Tatsuno and the others heard it clearly.

Inspector Megure walked up to the three people and asked: "Excuse me, what's wrong?"

After hearing the voice, the three turned to look at Inspector Megure and explained in a flurry.

"Ah, officer. Actually... it's just a rumor."

"I heard that there is 'that' in this annex..."

"Ah? What is 'that'?" Inspector Megure frowned slightly.

"Ghost! 'That' refers to the ghost!" The slightly plump woman said with horror.

"I heard that someone saw an unmanned wheelchair for the elderly sliding around in the annex in the middle of the night!"

After hearing the word "ghost", Xiaolan immediately grabbed Tatsuno's arm and hid half of her body behind Tatsuno.

After this unscientific "testimony", Inspector Megure narrowed his eyes helplessly.

At this moment, Sera Masumi seemed to find something interesting in the three people's words, and asked: "Since it is a wheelchair with no one in it, how do you know that the wheelchair is for the elderly?"

Hearing this, the thin woman in a green sweater lowered her head and said: "It's because of my father."

"My mother was one of the people who was defrauded by Mr. Kamizumi, and this incident dealt a heavy blow to her. My mother fell ill and was admitted to the hospital."

"My father was so angry that he stayed in the guest room of the annex and visited Mr. Kamizumi's room every day. - 'I don't ask you to pay back the money, but please apologize to my wife.' My father would ask Mr. Kamizumi like this every day."

Speaking of this, a trace of grief flashed in the thin woman's eyes: "But when he learned that my mother had passed away in the hospital, he committed suicide that night..."

"My father has always been unable to move around. Therefore, he always moved around in the electric wheelchair provided by the hotel. That's why such rumors appeared later."

After listening to the woman's statement, the expressions of everyone present were a little heavy.

I didn't expect that there was such a story behind the ghost rumor.

And Tatsuno, the moment he heard the story, turned his eyes to the thin woman in the green sweater in front of him.

Although he had no memory of the case, with his in-depth understanding of "science", he knew that the criminal must be the woman in front of him.

...

Five minutes later, Tatsuno and his companions followed Inspector Megure into the hotel annex.

As soon as they got out of the elevator, they saw colorful graffiti all over the wall.

According to the investigation, most of the graffiti here was sprayed by the victim, Uezumi Sadago.

After seeing the graffiti everywhere in the corridor, Sera Masumi suddenly understood why the staff member said that the annex was being renovated.

If the guests saw such a "miserable situation", they would be scared away and would never come to this hotel again.

Although Maori Kogoro did not speak at this time, his contemptuous look did not hide any intention.

At this moment, the portrait of Uezumi Sadago had already appeared in his mind.Arrogant, violent, crazy, lacking sympathy and moral sense.

If he was not the son of the hotel owner, he would have been beaten to death long ago.

"Humph, it's not surprising that such a person suffered such a fate..."

Although Inspector Megure heard Maori Kogoro's muttering, he said nothing.

Although he always believed that the dead were the greatest, some victims did not deserve sympathy.

After walking to the French window at the end of the corridor, Inspector Megure looked at Officer Chiba not far away and asked: "Chiba, have you finished the investigation? Is there anyone else in this annex?"

Officer Chiba, who was carefully observing the wheelchair, was startled by Officer Megure's voice and said in panic: "Ah?! Oh... Inspector, no one else is found in this annex."

Inspector Megure glanced at the wheelchair in front of him, put his hands in his pockets, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with this wheelchair, why is it here?"

"I don't know, when I found it just now, it was still moving."

Hearing this, everyone immediately looked at the wheelchair in surprise.

Conan and Sera Masumi's faces showed deep thoughts.

Officer Chiba continued: "I found a suspicious fishing line between the wheels, so I checked with the hotel."

"According to the hotel staff, this is the electric wheelchair that Mr. Kamizumi borrowed from the hotel before he fell to his death."

"Huh? Mr. Kamizumi also has problems with his legs and feet?" Officer Megure asked.

"No, it is said that he just likes to sit in a wheelchair and wander around the annex..."

"Ah? What a strange guy!" Hearing this, Inspector Megure took a deep breath.

Hearing this, Tatsuno probably guessed the reason for the rumored "ghost wheelchair" incident.

It must be a "prank" done by the victim Kamizumi Sadago himself to drive away the fraud victims and media who came to him.

The fishing line on the wheelchair should be a small mechanism used to control the unmanned wheelchair to roll around.

At this time, Sera Masumi stepped forward quickly, took the fishing line held by a handkerchief from Officer Maeba, and looked at it carefully.

"Come to think of it, this fishing line is really long. There are a few broken rubber bands tied to the end of the line..."
