Chapter 78 Chapter [-]
"This place is a treasure land of geomantic omen," Martin said suddenly.

"Really?" Mori Kogoro suddenly became excited: "Is this really a treasured place of geomantic omen?"

"That's right." Martin pointed to Jiangshan: "The park in front is an open and flat terrain, and there is a lake, and the Sumida River is to the north. Obviously, the water source of the artificial lake in the park is the underground river extending from the Sumida River, so this apartment There is running water below the area where it is located, and this terrain is called 'dragonfly's water', which is very prosperous."

Conan looked at the dilapidated apartment in front of him and thought: Do you call this prosperous wealth?
Then Martin's next sentence roughly answered Conan's question: "Buried here, at least it will be able to germinate future generations and become rich and wealthy for 50 years."

"Okay, I must buy this place." Before Mouri Kogoro could react, he clenched his fists and made up his mind that he would sell this apartment even with a loan, and then move the detective agency here and live on from now on The life of a rich man with a lot of money...wait a minute, what did Martin just say?

"Buried here?" Maori Kogoro was taken aback: "Is this a treasured place of geomantic omen as a cemetery?"

Martin nodded.

Mori Kogoro's expression immediately became dull. In the modern society where funerals are fully managed, even if you buy this place, it is impossible to use it as a cemetery to move your ancestors here.

But he still turned around and patted Mao Lilan on the shoulder: "When my old bone dies, just bury me here secretly."

"Ha ha."

Although Mori Kogoro should not need it, Martin still reminded him friendly: "The burial method is also particular. The coffin should be buried upright, and the bottom should be slightly in contact with the water veins. This is called 'dragonfly's water'. Burial, future generations must prosper' ah."

"And the top and surrounding of the coffin can only be filled with loess. Do not use impermeable materials such as cement, otherwise the 'dragonfly' will not be able to touch the water, and it will turn into a dead body after drying in the shade, turning into a very powerful zombie. .”

As they spoke, everyone thought of Kogoro Mori's appearance as a zombie: his face was blue and black, his purple-black nails were particularly long, and there was a pair of fangs in his mouth.

Conan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and quietly pulled the corner of Lamartine's clothes: "I said, today it will not develop. The corpse of a woman who was burnt to death four years ago was built into the wall, and it just happened to become a zombie king after great skill. Quartet, right?"

"You're quite imaginative." Martin patted Conan's head, "However, it won't take four years to make a difference. It's just a dead body. If you eat people or livestock, you can turn into black dead body. It's not too difficult to deal with." .”

Hearing Martin's words, Mr. Otonashi pointed to the unfinished building over there: "The location of that building used to be a cemetery..."

Immediately, a large number of zombies emerged from the soil in front of the tombstone from their hands, and then formed an army of zombies to advance towards themselves.

"Old, old sir?" There was a trace of tension in Martin's voice: "Cremation should be popularized here, right?"

"Yeah." Mr. Otonashi nodded: "At that time, this apartment... this cemetery were all places for cremation."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Mr. Otonashi into the old apartment.The inside of the apartment is as dilapidated as the outside. The once white wallpaper is either moldy or torn, and now there is no white on the walls on both sides of the corridor.

After entering, I ran into a person walking from the depths of the corridor: "Hey, there are guests, old man. Don't you also come to see ghosts? I thought the haunting trend of this apartment had changed with memory. It's over."

It was a thin man with long fox eyes and a strange expression on his face.

"Tide?" Mori Kogoro asked, "Has the haunting been happening for a long time?"

"Yeah, two or three years ago, when it was in the limelight, many guys came here to explore, and some people wanted to make supernatural documentaries here. Then the heat disappeared, and most people have forgotten about this place." The man explained, saying He smiled sinisterly: "But once you come, it seems that there will be a good show tonight."

"Good, good show?" Mao Lilan became nervous: "Does this mean that there will be haunted tonight?"

"Haven't you heard of it? People often say: the more crowded the place, the more haunted it will be!" As he spoke, the man walked past the crowd with a wicked smile and left the apartment.

"He is Kikuji Bancho who lives in Room 4, and he seems to be working in a model shop." Mr. Otonashi introduced: "Once I saw a lot of scary dolls in his room."

Conan thought to himself: If there were rumors of haunting two or three years ago, it should have nothing to do with Martin, right?
At this time, the sound of the toilet flushing suddenly sounded, and a person came out of the bathroom on the first floor. When he saw the person's face in the dim light, Mao Lilan suddenly twitched and hid behind Mori Kogoro.

The man who came out was fat and should be a man, but his face seemed to have suffered from a disease similar to smallpox, with acne scars all over his face, and a towering purple-black lump near his right eye, squeezing his eyes to change out of shape.I don't know whether it's because of obesity or edema, but his head is very big, like a white lantern.

The man didn't care about Mao Lilan's fearful reaction, he just looked at them and smiled: "It's not bad that it's lively and lively tonight. It's been deserted here for a long time. I hope that ghost will come out soon."

Then he opened the door of room two and walked in.

"Who is he?"

"He is the tenant of Room No. [-], Yotsuya Iwasaka." Otonashi Yoshiichi replied: "It seems that he is a horror movie lover. He is the one who wants to make a supernatural documentary here. The room is full of horror videos."

"Horror model lovers and horror movie lovers...the people here really have distinct personalities." Mori Kogoro complained.

Martin said: "Tenants who don't like horror elements have already moved out?"

Mao Lilan looked at Otonashi Yoshiichi: "Mr., why do you still live here?"

The old man chuckled: "I'm an old bone, half of my body is buried in the ground, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

Combined with the fact that the rent of this dilapidated apartment must be very cheap, everyone immediately realized that the situation of the old man's family and children was obviously not good, so they stopped asking.

At this time, a young man came down from the stairs, and compared with the first two, he looked good: "There are so many people, please don't make too much noise at night. Because I have a paper to write and I need a quiet enough environment. "

Mr. Otonashi frowned a little when he saw him coming down the stairs: "You obviously live in Room [-], why did you go to the second floor?"

"Because someone was using the bathroom on the first floor just now, so I went upstairs to use the bathroom on the second floor." The man replied frankly.

Before he left, Mr. Otonashi introduced him to everyone: "This is Mr. Mudan Luyan, a graduate student."

"Excuse me, why do you still live here?" Mao Lilan asked curiously.

"Because I reject superstition and don't believe in ghosts in this world, I can only accept phenomena that can be explained clearly with scientific evidence." Mudan Luyan adjusted his glasses and said seriously.It sounds like a materialist, but in fact this is a more extreme idealism.

"And I need a quiet environment. There are very few tenants here, so it suits me." Mudan Luyan continued to add: "Besides, the rent is very cheap, and my grandma also said that the Feng Shui here is very good."

Conan: Don't you reject superstition?

Mori Kogoro also put on half-moon eyes: Your grandma said Feng Shui is good, is it for living people?

Mudan Luyan had already opened the door of Room No. [-]. Before entering the door, he turned around again and emphasized: "Please don't make any noise. If you delay my thesis, you will definitely not be able to pay for it."

After speaking, he entered the room and closed the door heavily.

"What a bad attitude." Martin complained, "When I become his mentor, he will be out of luck."

Conan looked sideways: You are too narrow-minded, aren't you?

 The following plot is modified from TV296-297 "The Truth About the Haunted House", comic version File.355-File.357.

  The names of the four characters in the case are all based on Japanese horror and ghost stories: Otonashi Hoichi and the apartment next to the cemetery were taken from "No Ear Hoichi"; ; Yotsuya Iwashang is taken from Ayan in "Sigu Weitan"; Mudan Luyan is taken from Alu in "Peony Lantern" (it is adapted from "Peony Lantern Story" in the Chinese Ming Dynasty novel "Jiandeng Xinhua")
