Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 740 Haunted Apartment

Xiaolan was startled and immediately turned her head to look behind.

An old man with a square face walked over slowly and said quietly: "It's not that those ghosts don't exist, it's just that some narrow-minded people can't see them!"

"Those ghosts are still causing mischief in my apartment!"

"Mr. Otonashi, why are you here again?" Dr. Shinde seemed to know this old man.

He frowned slightly, his expression a little helpless: "Didn't I tell you? Don't come here again."

Old Man Otonashi snorted coldly: "It's useless for you to look cold to me now. Old man, I have long decided to let you take care of my body for the rest of my life!"

"Who is this old gentleman?" Mouri Kogoro asked doubtfully.

"Oh! He is a patient who has been coming to me for treatment before. He doesn't want to go to the hospital I recommended." Dr. Shinde explained.

"Grandpa!" Conan looked at the old man: "Is it true that you just said that the apartment you live in is haunted?"

Old Otonashi nodded slightly, his face gradually turning gloomy: "Of course it's true, little brother, are you interested in going and taking a look?"

"That girl died unjustly at a young age, so she was full of resentment towards the world and was unable to successfully reincarnate."

"Ah!" Xiaolan exclaimed, with a look of fear on her face.

"Grandpa, can you take us to see it?" Conan was not at all frightened by the old man's gloomy tone and asked with a smile.

"It's a haunted apartment, it doesn't hurt to go and take a look." Hanomiya Akiya said.

"You two... forget it, just go." Mouri Kogoro said it was understandable when he saw this.

…………

Dilapidated apartment downstairs.

"Does the old man live in such an old apartment?" Yu Gongming asked as he looked at the apartment with mottled exterior walls in front of him.

Old Otonashi nodded: "Yes, after all, I have nowhere else to go."

"It's not bad to live here. The park in front of the apartment has a nice view." Xiaolan pointed to the park in front of the apartment and smiled.

The old man glanced at the park and smiled: "The girl's body was found in the park."

"Burned corpse!?" Xiaolan exclaimed.

Old Man Otonashi's tone became even more gloomy: "Yes, the charred corpse has been burned beyond recognition. Even the firewall next to the apartment was no longer there after the boss who won the bid wrapped it with plastic sheeting and committed suicide here. No one has touched it.”

"Speaking of which, this place used to be a cemetery!"

"Cemetery..." The look of fear on Xiaolan's face became more intense.

Otonashi seemed to have noticed Xiaolan's fear, and quickly changed the topic: "Let's talk inside the house."

So, a group of people walked into the door of the apartment.

Yu Gongming looked around for a while. This apartment was indeed very old. A lot of the surface walls had peeled off. The handrails on the stairs were also rusty. The lighting was also very poor. The entire environment became dark as soon as he entered.

Xiaolan looked around and became even more frightened. She gently touched Mouri Kogoro and said, "Dad, why don't we go back?"

Mouri Kogoro said angrily: "You're already here, of course you have to take a good look! If you go back, just take a taxi back!"

"But... wouldn't it be more terrifying to take a taxi and stay at home by yourself?" Xiaolan shook her head, suddenly squatted down, and hugged Conan suddenly:

"Conan, stop seeing ghosts, okay? Come back with me? Okay~" Xiaolan's tone was almost pleading.

Conan was hugged by Xiaolan and felt the touch on his back. His face turned red and he stammered: "Xiao...Sister Xiaolan, that..."

Having already come here, Conan would definitely not be willing to leave like this.

But... Conan really couldn't bear to see Xiaolan like this.

While he was struggling, Mengyu patted Xiaolan on the shoulder: "Xiaolan, come here and I'll tell you something."

"Eh? What's going on?" Xiaolan put her ear close to Mengyu in confusion.

Mengyu pulled Xiaolan aside and bit her ears.

Xiaolan's expression changed for a while. After Mengyu finished speaking, Xiaolan pursed her lips, and then nodded slightly.

The two walked back, and Xiaolan said: "Okay, I won't go back, let's continue visiting!"

Conan looked at Mengyu in surprise. Did Xiaolan's attitude change too quickly? What did Dream Whisper say to her?

Yu Gongming was also curious, but it was not easy to ask more questions now.

As several people were walking in, a young man wearing a black and gray coat and a strange smile walked over slowly:

"Hey! I thought the trend of hauntings had disappeared from people's memories over time, but I didn't expect that people would still come here now? There's a good show to watch now!"

"A good show?" Mouri Kogoro was puzzled.

The smile on the corner of the young man's mouth became more and more weird, and he glanced at Moori Kogoro with a dark look: "Yes, don't they often say that the more people there are, the more haunted they are? Hehe..."

The young man laughed darkly, put his hands in his pockets and left without waiting for Mouri Kogoro to respond.

Mouri Kogoro asked in confusion: "Who is this guy?"

Old man Otonashi introduced: "He is Mr. Bancho who lives in Room 4. I heard that he works in a model shop and often makes some scary dolls in the room!"

Xiaolan's beautiful eyelashes trembled slightly, but she tried her best to keep her expression calm.

Wow!

A rush of water came from a certain direction, Xiaolan's body suddenly trembled, and then she squatted down and held Conan's shoulders.

Conan turned his head and looked at Xiaolan's hand that was tightly clasped on his shoulder. He smiled helplessly. He turned slightly to let Xiaolan's hand slip from his shoulder. He raised his right hand and held Xiaolan's hand tightly. He smiled. road:

"Sister Xiaolan, don't be afraid! It's just someone using the toilet!"

"Yeah, what's there to be afraid of?" Another eerie voice sounded, the toilet door opened, and a fat man came out.

He glanced at Hamamiya Akira and his group, his smile was as weird as Banmachi's: "It's rare for guests to come, I think even ghosts will be very happy, right? Hahaha!"

With weird laughter, the fat man walked into a room and closed the door.

"Why do the people who live here speak so eccentrically..." Meng Yu frowned slightly. She was naturally not frightened, but it was uncomfortable to hear the two people she just met talking.

Yu Gongming smiled disdainfully: "It's just to exaggerate the atmosphere deliberately. As a veteran, you are here to give us [newbies] a show of strength!"

"Who is that person?" Mouri Kogoro asked.

Old Man Otonashi said: "He is Mr. Yotsuya who lives in Room 2. He likes special photography. The house is full of those types of video tapes."

"He and a group of his friends came here to shoot a video before! I wonder if he would like to give us a look?"

"Huh! There's no need to look at that kind of thing!" A slightly unhappy voice sounded.
