Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends

"What's going on?" Suzuki Sonoko was confused.

She looked at Seko Kunifusa who was standing there in a daze and Monobe Masao who was bending over, and finally her eyes fell on Yuya.

"Yuya, can you explain it quickly?"

Yuya touched his chin and said, "Well, let me think about where to start."

Mori Ran asked quickly, "How did that desk get to the center of the courtyard? And there were no footprints left?"

The other three supernatural events have basically been figured out, but why did the desk that should have been placed in the gymnasium warehouse appear out of thin air in the center of the courtyard?

Is there really a ghost? Or is it the ghost of Hosaka Hideaki?

"Ah, that," Yuya said nonchalantly, "You were all misled by the dry paper. In fact, if you just cover it with something, you can create the illusion that the paper is still dry. In fact, the desk was moved when the rain was the heaviest."

"That's impossible, right?" Tsukamoto Sumi retorted subconsciously, "Wouldn't that leave footprints? But Kamiya, you also said that when you and Conan ran there, you didn't see any footprints other than the two of you."

Yuya shook his head: "The land wet by rain will indeed leave footprints, but the footprints will also be washed away by the heavy rain. When we found the desk, the rain had stopped, and that period of time was completely enough."

Tsukamoto Sumi thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense.

"Well, I have a question." Mao Lilan raised her hand like a good student.

Yuya looked over: "What's the problem?"

"If the desk was moved when the rain was the heaviest, wouldn't it be seen?"

Tsukamoto Sumi suddenly said: "By the way, I went to the bathroom halfway through, and saw the principal standing in the courtyard with an umbrella from the window on the third floor. He couldn't have missed the desk, right?"

Yuya smiled faintly: "Why is Sister Sumi so sure that the wine you saw must be the principal's?"

Tsukamoto Sumi was stunned: "Why... That's because I saw the umbrella that the principal always uses..."

Yuya raised his hand and pointed: "Is it that style?"

Tsukamoto Sumi and others looked in the direction and carefully identified it. Those who had seen the principal's umbrella said in surprise: "That's right, that umbrella is exactly the same as the principal's umbrella!"

There was a brown umbrella leaning against the corner of the health room.

Tsukamoto Sumi immediately reacted: "In other words, the principal I saw at that time was actually... a desk with an umbrella?"

Yuya nodded, indicating that you guessed correctly.

He continued, "As for whether someone will see us... No, or the chance is very small.

First of all, there are very few students who stay in school during this period. Apart from a few of us, there are only senior high school students who are preparing for the entrance examination and studying in the library.

It is raining outside again. Basically no one will leave before the rain stops. Those who want to leave have already left.

Secondly, because of the trees, there are not many angles on the first floor to see the desks in the courtyard, and it is even more unclear in the heavy rain.

As for the second and third floors, because of the angle, I am afraid that even if you see it, you will think that it is the principal standing there with an umbrella, just like Sister Shumei?"

Others nodded in understanding.

"Then, you just need to wait until the rain stops, and use the thin wire or rope tied to the umbrella in advance to recycle the umbrella without getting close to the desk.

But unfortunately, even if Senior Shigu tries his best to shake off the rain on the umbrella, there will still be some residue, which will gather on the ground after a long time."

The ground where the umbrella was sticking did gather a small pool of water.

"If Senior Seko has never left the health room, where did the water on the umbrella come from? There is a restroom at the end of the first floor, so you didn't need an umbrella in the past, right?"

Seko Kunifusa smiled bitterly: "As expected of you. But I still have some doubts. Can you confirm that it was done just by a wet umbrella?"

Yuya shook his head: "Of course not only."

"Everyone think back to the second supernatural incident, the cursed library. When the administrator went to the library in the morning, he found several books thrown in places that did not belong to them, right?"

Suzuki Sonoko nodded repeatedly: "Yes, and they are the books that Hosaka Hideaki borrowed before his death."

Yuya asked: "Then Sonoko, do you know which books they are?"

Suzuki Sonoko pointed her finger at her chin and recalled: "Uh, it seems to be called something like Electrical Appliances..."

"It's Electrical Communication Engineering Theory," Yuya said, "The remaining few are Tropical Rainforest Destruction Report, History of University System, Analysis of Rock Destruction Sound."

Tsukamoto Susumi felt a headache: "What kind of books are these?"Although she heard that the books that were thrown around were books that Hosaka Hideaki had borrowed, these books are too unpopular, aren't they?

Miyano Shiho said lightly: "They are all relatively professional books, which are indeed a bit profound for high school students."

Other people's expressions were a bit subtle. You are also a high school student, right? Why do you say it as if you know a lot about it.

Yuya smiled and said: "Yes, they are all very unpopular books that ordinary students will not borrow. So how did the initiator of the supernatural event, or the prank, know these books? Even my classmate, Shumei, doesn't know much about these books. It's a bit too difficult for ordinary people to find these books in the library, isn't it?"

"But for Hosaka Hideaki's childhood friend, Senior Seko, who knows his hobbies very well, it is a very simple thing."

"Indeed." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Mouri Ran asked again: "What about the cursed stairs? Is it also Senior Seko's doing?"

Yuya said: "That's right. I think you all know that because of fire protection, fire extinguishers are installed at the staircase entrances. In order to prevent the fire extinguishers from being damaged when not needed, a hole is chiseled in the wall and placed inside.

I think Senior Seko put ice cubes in the hole, and water will flow out when the ice melts at night.

In addition, he applied a thin layer of wax at the bottom of the stairs, which is waterproof, so that water will not seep into the cement floor and disappear until the students arrive in the morning. The water marks in the hole will dry up after one night, and no one will find that the water came from there. "

"And Senior Seko, who lives near the school, has the time to do it."

"Why!" Tsukamoto Susumi grabbed Seko Kuniharu's collar angrily and asked, "Aren't you and Hosaka childhood friends? Why did you use his death to do this? ”

Yuya sighed and said, “Maybe it’s because he saw the desk of Senior Hosaka in the gymnasium warehouse and sighed sadly, so the students nearby thought it was the ghost of Hosaka crying? Because Senior Seko thought that Hosaka’s death was not an accident.”

Seko Kunishige pushed Tsukamoto Sumi away and said angrily, “Yes, that’s right. After seeing the dusty desk, I immediately understood that his death was not an accident at all, but he was killed by bullying during hospitalization!”

“No!” Tsukamoto Sumi retorted loudly.

“Are you also one of the people who bullied Hosaka?” Seko Kunishige roared.

Yuya sighed, “Although it’s a bit regrettable, I investigated at the time, and Senior Hosaka’s death was indeed an accident.”

Seko Kunishige didn’t believe it, “How is it possible! How could Hosaka, who was still telling me interesting things he saw in a book in the hospital a few days ago, suddenly die unexpectedly the next day? ! ”

“How do you want me to believe it? !”

“You misunderstood, Hosaka did fall down the stairs and died, but it was all my fault!” Mononobe Masao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted.

“What?” Seko Kunifusa was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the man had said the same thing when he just entered the door, and couldn't help but glared, "You killed Hosaka?"

Mononobe Masao's face was full of pain: "It was indeed me who killed him. Someone sent two new plaster statues to school that morning. It happened to be my and Hosaka's turn to be on duty that day, so we decided to secretly move the plaster statues to the art room to give the teacher a surprise. ”

“But I didn't expect that when I was climbing the stairs, I slipped and almost fell down. Hosaka wanted to protect me..."

“You lied!” Seko Kunifusa didn't believe it, "Then why was that guy's desk placed in front of the warehouse, and it was covered with dust?"

“Because we can't wipe the dust off. "Tsukamoto Sumi sighed, "Because the signature on the desk is written in pencil, if you wipe off the dust, it is easy to wipe off the signature along with it. We plan to move Hosaka's desk out and take a group photo together when we graduate, so that he can graduate with us."

"As for the desk, everyone in the class pooled money together to buy a new set, and the teacher agreed to keep the desk in the warehouse."

"So, Hosaka was not bullied at all..." Seko Kunifu sat on the bed in disappointment, so what exactly did he do during this period of time?

Monobe Masao said guiltily: "It was because I suggested secretly moving the plaster statue that the accident happened, so it's not wrong that I killed Hosaka..."

"Come to think of it," Yuya suddenly said, "The first teacher who arrived at the scene at that time seemed to be Dr. Shinde? I remember that before Hosaka lost consciousness, he apologized and saidIf I fall down so carelessly, will I scare the teacher and classmates...”

Seko Kunifusa was stunned. After a while, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and smiled bitterly: "That guy is like this. He is obviously dying, but he is still thinking about others..."

···

The supernatural incident was successfully resolved.

On the way back, Youya smiled and said: "Xiaolan, now you don’t have to be afraid when it’s your turn to be on duty in the future, right?"

Mauri Ran blushed and said embarrassedly: "I’m not afraid..."

Miyano Shiho looked around and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, where is that Hondou classmate? Isn’t he always following you?"

Mauri Ran was stunned, and Suzuki Sonoko immediately complained: "That guy, he has been in a hurry to leave school after school recently. It’s probably because it’s too hot, so he rushed home to enjoy the air conditioning? "

Yuya pulled his clothes. The weather in the science world is indeed a bit weird. It was so cold that he had to cover himself with a quilt some time ago, but it suddenly became so hot that he had to turn on the air conditioner these days.

Blow the air conditioner? No, definitely not. Conan's expression moved.

Before at the home of Touji Funamoto, the little boy who appeared at the scene of the car accident, although Hondou Eisuke did not show any abnormality, he would definitely find a chance to learn about the car accident afterwards, and he could guess that Mizunashi Rena's disappearance was due to injury and hospitalization.

Then he must have been investigating which hospital Mizunashi Rena was admitted to during this period.

There are still doubts about Hondou Eisuke's identity. He may be a member of the organization, or he may be the identity they guessed.

Before confirming his identity, he must not be allowed to meet Mizunashi Rena!

Thinking of this, Conan looked up at Yuya, intending to discuss the next thing with him.

Before he could speak, Yuya's phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone and took a look, then turned to Mao Lilan and said, "Xiaolan, I have something to do and I have to leave first. "

Ran Maori was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, then we will separate here, Conan and I will go this way..."

"Wait, this kid come with me." Yuya grabbed Conan's collar and lifted him up.

Conan's forehead darkened: Can't you talk properly? Do you have to do this?

Although Maori Ran was a little confused, she could guess that Yuya had something important, so she nodded and said: "Okay, then you must be careful."

After sending Maori Ran away, Conan waved his fist and said: "Hey, put me down!"

Yuya said and let go.

"Wait..." Conan widened his eyes, no, how can you let go like this?

The next second, he sat on the ground with a plop.

"Ah! It hurts so much! Yuya, I'm not done with you! "Conan was so angry that he jumped up with gritted teeth and rushed towards Yuya.

Yuya twisted his body to easily avoid it, and took the opportunity to pick up Conan.

Conan couldn't beat Yuya, so he could only stare at him with a dark face.

Yuya smiled, put Conan on the ground, and then said: "Let's go, the matter I entrusted others to investigate before has a result."

Conan was stunned: "What's the matter?" "You are a detective yourself, and you still need to entrust others to investigate?

Yuya said: "It's about the identities of Mizunashi Rena and Hondou Eisuke."

"What?" Conan stared at him immediately.

Dr. Agasa's house.

Miyano Shiho opened the door with a key, looked around and said: "It seems that the doctor and Aunt Fusae went on a trip again."

Conan's eyes were empty, and he said in a muffled voice: "He is so happy..."

Yuya patted Conan's head and said: "Don't be envious, you and Xiaolan can also travel around like this in the future. "

Conan blushed and argued, "Who said I was going on a trip with that guy?"

Yuya raised an eyebrow: "Oh? You don't want to? Then I'll tell Xiaolan that Kudo Shinichi has fallen in love with someone else and is going on a trip with another girl."

Conan immediately admitted his mistake and lowered his head and said, "Sorry, I was too loud just now."

"Good boy~" Yuya touched Conan's little head with satisfaction.

"Okay, stop playing." Miyano Shiho said with a smile, aren't you two childhood friends? Why is Yuya always bullying Conan?

Is there any fun in this that she doesn't know?

The three of them sat on the sofa, Yuya took out his mobile phone and made a video call.

"Ding!" The video was connected, and a girl with short hair and sunglasses appeared on the screen.

Miyano Shiho couldn't help but squint: girl...

"Koshimizu Nanatsuki? "Conan's eyes widened in surprise.

"Hey, isn't this little Conan?" Nanatsuki Koshimizu greeted across the screen.

Yuya pushed Conan aside, approached the screen and asked: "Koshimizu-san,Have you made any progress on the matter I entrusted you to investigate?"

Natsuki Koshimizu smiled and waved the file bag in her hand: "Of course, don't underestimate me. Although I am not as good as you in solving cases, investigating two people is still a piece of cake for me."

Commission? Miyano Shiho secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be just a commission relationship...

No, why should I be nervous? Miyano Shiho suddenly realized something. When did she become...jealous?
