Conan: I was found by Ai

Chapter 156 A Stroll Along the River

"Finally, there are normal people!"

"If he thinks it's so noisy here, why doesn't he move?"

At this moment, everyone came to the second floor and met the third person.

This guy has a middle-parted hairstyle, wears half-frame glasses, and is a student.

Xiangzhen was a little confused. Since he knew that this place was haunted and they were too noisy, they still didn't move out.

"Who knows?"

"Although this is a normal person, he seems to have a bad temper."

Xiao Ai nodded, then nodded in agreement.

Conan didn't dare to respond. Ever since he met Shoma, he had just pretended to be mute, fearing that he would say something and get beaten up.

Although Xiang Zhen never took action, every time he saw that posture, he felt that his life would not last long.

"That's because...he hasn't seen a ghost yet!"

"So he doesn't believe that ghosts exist in this world, and the rent here is cheap, so he didn't move away."

The old man heard the conversation between the two and began to explain.

When Kogoro Mori heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Then they learned that there were originally eight people here, but half of them had been scared away, leaving only four of them.

"Old man!"

"Since you said there is a ghost here, can you describe the time when you saw the ghost and the scene at that time?"

At this moment, everyone came to the room, and the old man poured tea for them, and Xiang Zhen couldn't help but ask.

There is no need to solve the case at all. Just expose them in person so that Xiaolan won't be suspicious all day long. Besides, this is not scary at all.

It’s not like there’s an extra pair of shoes in the middle of the night, or an extra person in the room.

"It happens basically at night. Every time I see a ghost, he is standing at the window, but when you open the window."

"There's nothing outside!"

The old man took a sip of tea and said after thinking for a moment.

Xiang Zhen couldn't help but nod when he heard that. It was just as he thought. Then he went to the window, opened it and took a look at the situation.

He picked up the dead moth with the paper and returned to the table.

"There are no ghosts in this world!"

"The ghost you saw was actually just a moth. Someone had painted something on the window that moths really liked."

"Or... maybe they were attracted by the lights, and something was done to the windows so it looked like someone was there."

It's like tape stuck on the window, and it looks like a person from a distance.

After hearing Xiangzhen's explanation, Xiaolan was no longer so scared, but at the same time she felt very confused.

"But...why do this?"

Although she was not that scared, she still didn't dare to move.

"Who knows!"

"Maybe it's some weird reason. When you were solving cases in the past, didn't you often hear the criminals talk about why they chose to kill people?"

"This is much better than killing someone!"

Xiang Zhen sighed. He was not a detective, so how could he know?

You should ask Kogoro Mouri, or Conan next to him, everything is fine here, so it's almost time to leave, right?

He looked at Ai and found that she was holding a cup of hot tea and seemed reluctant to move.

Hey!

never mind!

Since Ai doesn't want to leave, then she'd better stay here. It's already late now anyway, and it probably won't be enough time to go to the haunted house in the amusement park.

Conan frowned at this time. Would anyone really die tonight?

"Now that the case has been solved, shall we leave?"

"Xiao Ai, let's go together. I'll treat you to dinner later."

Xiaolan picked up Xiaoai and walked towards the door.

She didn't want to stay here for a moment. Although she knew that there was no ghost here and it was just a prank, the environment was indeed a bit eerie.

What's more, there is a cemetery next to it, which makes people unable to help but imagine.

"Let's go then!"

"There's no point in staying here. I thought it was really haunted, but it turns out to be nothing more than this. This method is not clever at all."

Seeing this, Xiang Zhen immediately stood up and left with them.

But Conan and Maori just sat there and did not leave. Conan was afraid that a murder would happen tonight, while Maori didn't care.

He wanted to see the so-called ghost with his own eyes.

Without paying any attention to the two of them, Xiangzhen and the other two left. They left in the morning and it was already noon.

It's just time for lunch!

By the way...if I remember correctly, in the original book, they only arrived here in the afternoon and didn't leave until the evening.

It was actually several hours early!

But it seems that my timing is normal, I just get crazy occasionally.

"Let's not go to the haunted house today. Let's go somewhere else?"

"I have nothing to do now anyway!"

Xiangzhen leaned close to Ai's ear and whispered softly.

Xiao Ai nodded after hearing this. In fact, she could go anywhere. The reason they came out today was because they were worried about Xiang Zhen's health.

Xiaolan was also very sensible. After realizing that it was all fake, she returned to the office.

But she was still a little worried, so she ran to the cafe and chatted with Mingmei to tell her the situation.

After lunch, Shoma and Ai went to the riverside to take a walk in the breeze. The air by the river was very humid.

I can hear the sound of the river.

Afterwards, the two of them sat on a bench, quietly enjoying the breeze, their eyes fixed on the lake, where fish often jumped out of the water.

No one fishes here?

At this time, Ai's head rested on his shoulder, and Xiang Zhen was stunned for a moment.

I turned my head to look at Ai's face and found that she had closed her eyes, obviously wanting to take a rest.

Seeing this, Xiangzhen immediately reached out and put his arm around Ai's shoulders.

"Are you going back?"

"If I sit here and rest, I feel like I'll catch a cold easily."

Ai didn't answer, and Shoma scratched his head.

That's it again!

This wasn't the first time she was just pretending to be asleep.

But Xiang Zhen didn't move. Based on past experience, if he woke her up, he would probably get beaten.

never mind!

Just let her lean on you like this, it's better than getting beaten yourself.

The breeze blew Ai's hair, and Xiang Zhen couldn't help but sigh when he saw it. She would definitely catch a cold like this.

Thinking this in his mind, he took off his coat and put it on Ai.

"Really!"

"The weather is so nice, but you are still sleeping..."

Xiang Zhen didn't look up at the sky much. There were a few birds flying across the sky, but they were too far away so he couldn't see what they looked like clearly.

Looking back at Ai's face, she is still as cute as ever.

He couldn't help swallowing, suddenly feeling a little nervous, his eyes fixed on the other's pink lips.

However, at this moment, Ai opened her eyes and her pink lips moved closer, and Xiangzhen's eyes widened instantly.
