Playing house in the anime world

"Is this really possible? After all, most low-level ghosts should eat people randomly. We can't detect any traces of upper-rank ghosts at all, and we have no way to tell whether the one who eats people is an upper-rank ghost or an ordinary ghost."

Shinobu Kocho was not optimistic about this.

After all, the Demon Slayer Corps must have done similar things a long time ago, but to no avail.

If the Demon Slayer Corps had not been interrupted, and all the information on all the incidents of evil spirits eating people from the beginning of the Demon Slayer Corps to the present had been preserved, they might really be able to find the trace of the Demon King Muzan through this method.

However, the information they have now is very limited. Can they really infer any useful intelligence from such limited information?

"That's not necessarily true. For example, regarding the clinic just now, Caesar found out that a clinic was attacked for no reason. The murderer has not been found at the scene yet, and no clues were left behind." Last night, Gojo Aiko discussed with Edogawa Ranpo the news that Caesar and his men had found out in just a few days.

What they were asking about were not the latest news, but some tragedies that had left a deep impression on the locals in the past few decades. Among them, they believed the most likely cause of death was a case in which an entire family was murdered in a medical clinic.

However, this case was not recorded in the Demon Slayer Corps' files. According to the locals' recollections of the case, they believed that the reason might be that although all the bodies mysteriously disappeared, the bloodstains and other traces at the scene were very clean, and there was no sign of being eaten. It seemed more like an ordinary case.

And most importantly, some things were lost in the clinic, but they were not valuables.

Generally speaking, evil ghosts only eat humans. Even if they want to take things away, they usually take money. After all, evil ghosts can also hide among ordinary people, and they also need to wear clothes, buy a house to live in, etc.

Especially those ghosts who choose to disguise themselves as ordinary people as much as possible, they must have somewhere to spend money.

Since all the members in the clinic were gone, they didn't know what was lost in the clinic, but the cabinets in the clinic were indeed empty, while they should have been full.

The doctors in that clinic were very skilled, and the skills were inherited from their ancestors. They had been running the clinic for generations, and such a huge change had made people in the entire city sigh.

Aiko Gojo wondered if the ghost that attacked the clinic had any connection with the clinic, such as if he had been a patient treated by the clinic.

Maybe the disease was not cured, and he turned into a ghost when he was about to die, and finally returned to the clinic to take revenge.

Or maybe this person has some kind of relationship with the clinic? For example, he used to be a member of the clinic, or even a doctor himself.

However, Edogawa Ranpo said that the things lost from the clinic were books.

This answer made Gojo Aiko a little confused.

She thought Edogawa Ranpo could deduce the general reason why the clinic was targeted.

After all, she was just verbally conveying some information she had heard.

This information may not necessarily be accurate, and may be exaggerated or concealed.

With just this little information, plus they don't know what the scene was like at the time, and this is a different world with a different worldview, Edogawa Ranpo may not be able to deduce the truth.

She didn't expect that Edogawa Ranpo would start with the things lost at the scene.

Although I don't know why he was so sure that the thing lost at the scene must be a book, why did he take the book from the clinic? Is there something special about this book?

There was no need for Edogawa Ranpo to remind her, as Gojo Aiko quickly figured it out herself.

The books in the clinic are definitely not ordinary books, most of them are medical books, so this ghost must have been a doctor or something like that, or his purpose is related to curing diseases and the like.

Especially since this clinic is run by a medical family, the medical books in their home must be much better than ordinary medical books. They may record the insights and accumulated experience of several generations of doctors in the past.

Therefore, Gojo Aiko finally came to a conclusion that they could shift part of their intelligence gathering direction to this aspect to see if there are many similar cases happening all over the country.

"There is no murderer and no clues. Could it be a ghost?" Tanjiro Kamado thought that the case that Gojo Aiko was talking about happened in the last two days, so maybe he could track down the ghost who committed the crime.

"Who knows, maybe it was done by the Demon King Muzan~" Gojo Aiko made a joke.

"But can we analyze the purpose of Demon King Muzan from this case alone?" Seeing that everyone else was in deep thought, Tomioka Giyuu bravely asked his doubts.

Gojo Aiko, who had been waiting for this question, immediately answered her thoughts: "A clinic is a place to treat patients. If there are many clinics across the country with similar cases, then we can infer who the Demon King Muzan wants to treat!"

"Who does he want to cure? Himself?" Shinobu Kocho thought of something, her face gloomy, "It would be best if he could cure himself and turn back into a human~"

This way it will be easier for them to destroy the Demon King Muzan!

"Maybe he wants to overcome his weakness in the sun." Gojo Aiko pushed the assembled pizza aside, and Chiba Niyuu took the pizza to the kitchen and put it in the oven.

"Is it really possible to accomplish such a thing with ordinary medical skills alone?" Although Shinobu Kocho was studying Nezuko Kamado's blood, studying how she did not eat humans and even maintained a certain degree of lucidity.

But to be honest, the progress of this research mainly depends on Miss Tamayo's unremitting efforts over the past hundred years. After all, she herself is a demon, and she can do a lot of research on herself, but Shinobu Kocho has no experimental subjects for her research.

Miss Tamayo spent a hundred years researching before she was barely close to success, and that was with the appearance of Nezuko Kamado.

If the special case of Nezuko Kamado had not appeared, it would be very likely that we would have to continue working hard for a hundred years without any results.

If you think about it carefully, Muzan is probably in a similar situation. He might have been conducting research continuously for thousands of years, but to no avail.

"Who knows, maybe it has something to do with why the Demon King Muzan became a demon. I wonder if there is a Stone Mask in this world..." Gojo Aiko feels that Kart, who wants to overcome his weakness to sunlight and evolve into an ultimate creature, will definitely have a lot to talk about with Muzan.

But it might also be possible that Karz had infinite contempt for Muzan. After all, Karz succeeded, although he disappeared soon after his success.
