Conan kissed me again and again, and Huiyuan was stunned

Kudo Shinichi stared at the file "Goblin" and guessed in his mind:

"Goblin?

Could it be that…?”

Kudo Shinichi thoughtfully took out the heavy book and spread it out in front of his chest, straightened up, looked down at it, and found...

Several sheets of cut newspapers are posted inside the book.

The headlines of the newspapers read... [Goblin Attack], [The Windward Band of Thieves], [Goblins Again], [Bold Method of Committing the Crime], [Only the Creepy Goblin Woodcarving Remains at the Scene], and [Still on the Run].

Dongfang Haoyue straightened up, followed Kudo Shinichi's line of sight and looked at the newspaper, curiously looking at the photo of the goblin sculpture in the newspaper, and calmly discovered...

The small wooden sculpture of the goblin looks like a demon, with an irregular head inlaid with sharp white horns, a terrifying posture and a hideous face.

Kudo Shinichi quickly scanned the headlines of the newspaper and thought to himself:

“It is true!!

These are reports of crimes committed by gangs of thieves and goblins!

But... why cut these newspapers and paste them into the book?"

Kudo Shinichi read the contents of the newspaper carefully and said calmly in his heart:

"The Goblins have been missing for ten years. There are about eight Goblins, and their leader is called Demon.

demon......?"

Kudo Shinichi remembered the golf bag with the word "Demon" written on it that he had seen in the living room earlier, and was about to start thinking.

The sunlight penetrated through the hole at the bottom of his back and fell onto the mirror on the desk, reflecting into his and Haoyue's eyes.

Dongfang Haoyue was slightly startled, looked up at the mirror, followed the angle of the light, looked back at the hole, and wondered in his heart:

“Strange... How can the sunlight shine through the hole below to the mirror above?

According to common sense, the sunlight should pass through the hole from top to bottom and illuminate the floor below the hole. "

at the same time.

Kudo Shinichi was slightly disturbed by the sunlight, and looked up at the mirror, subconsciously wondering:

"Is it the mirror that Detective Maori mentioned?"

Kudo Shinichi reached out to grab the mirror, trying to pick it up and observe it, but it didn't move at all. His face gradually became solemn, and he wondered carefully in his heart:

"Um?

This mirror is fixed on the desk, why?

Wait, I remember…”

During this period.

Dongfang Haoyue noticed Kudo Shinichi's unusual behavior out of the corner of his eye. He stopped thinking without hesitation and looked towards the mirror curiously following his gaze.

Shinichi let go of the mirror, closed the book, put it back in place, closed the drawer, turned around and looked at the hole, and described it calmly in his mind:

"There are holes in the wall behind me, and..."

Kudo Shinichi looked up at the cuckoo clock and thought calmly:

“Just above the hole is the cuckoo clock.

Wait, I remember…”

Kudo Shinichi looked at the cuckoo clock, which showed 1:09 p.m., and recalled calmly in his heart:

"Detective Maori said that according to his analysis, the cuckoo clock would behave abnormally at 1:10 p.m., and I think he has a point.

In other words, is the cuckoo clock about to go haywire? "

Thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi stared intently at the cuckoo clock.

Dongfang Haoyue turned around, his hands dropped to his sides, and followed Shinichi's line of sight to look at the hole and the cuckoo clock, and made a bold guess in his mind:

"As the protagonist of Detective Conan, Shinichi continuously observes mirrors, holes, and cuckoo clocks. Perhaps there is some connection between them."

"Click."

It is the crisp sound of the cuckoo clock's cuckoo house door opening.

Xiaolan and Princess Mira heard the noise, turned back to look at the cuckoo clock, and subconsciously said:

"Eh?"

The cute sound has not yet faded.

Three small goblin wooden sculptures are in a triangular position, squatting on a round base that slides outward from the cuckoo house. Their irregular heads are inlaid with sharp white horns, their postures are terrifying, their faces are hideous, and they are almost identical.

There were L, N and R painted in black on a white background on their foreheads, and they made a continuous and terrified sound like an eagle's cry.

Xiaolan's pupils dilated, and she looked at the wood carving as if she had seen a ghost. Light passed through her head at the speed of light. She closed her eyes, covered her chest with her hands, and couldn't help but screamed:

"what!!!!!"

at the same time.

Princess Mira was startled involuntarily, shielding her chest with both hands, and exclaimed briefly:

"what!"

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi put their hands in their pockets and carefully observed the wood carving. Suddenly, they heard a scream. They looked at Xiaolan and Princess Mira as usual to confirm that they were fine. Then they looked at the wood carving again and made a rigorous judgment in their hearts:

"Three goblin wood carvings...similar to the photos of thieves leaving goblin wood carvings at the scene of the crime as shown in the newspaper."

The thought has not yet settled.

Princess Mira came back to her senses, calmed down with a positive attitude, turned to look at Xiaolan, gently grasped her arms, and said softly:

"Calm down, Ran. Those are just wooden statues. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Xiaolan hasn't come back to her senses yet.

Maori Kogoro rushed along the corridor into the study room with the door open. He immediately looked at Xiaolan and said anxiously:

"Xiaolan, what happened!?"

“That…that…!”

Xiaolan felt the warmth conveyed by Princess Mira and witnessed Kogoro Maori rushing here. She tried her best to come to her senses, grabbed Mira's right arm with her left hand, pointed at the wood carving with her right hand, and looked at it with courage. A cautious expression appeared on her innocent face.

Nakamura So hurriedly walked along the corridor and entered the door, then stopped steadily on Kogoro's right. He immediately looked at everyone and asked worriedly:

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"My daughter was frightened."

Maori Kogoro carefully observed Xiaolan and confirmed that she was alive and well. He expected that Haoyue and Shinichi would not let Xiaolan get hurt. He looked at Nakamura Cao calmly, put his left hand in his trouser pocket, pointed his right hand at the wooden sculpture that was still making a shrill sound, and confirmed calmly:

"At 1:10 p.m., three devilish wooden sculptures ran out of the cuckoo house. This is an abnormal situation, right?"

"Yes, it is."

Nakamura So folded his hands in front of him, looked at the wood carving with a slightly calmer mood, and described it with a bit of heartache:

“It makes eerie noises and is creepy.”

at the same time.

Princess Mira led Xiaolan, who was not resisting at all, to the bookshelf far to the left of Maori Kogoro, near the corner of the wall. She turned to look at Xiaolan, pointed her right arm towards the bookshelf, leaned forward slightly, and grabbed Xiaolan's soft arm with both hands, and said in a puzzled voice:

"Xiaolan, you seem to be very afraid of ghosts and things like that. Why?"

"It's just, it's very scary..."

Xiaolan held her hands together and let them fall to her sides. She looked at Princess Mira in a panic and explained in a low voice:

“I always feel like I’m going to be eaten…!”

"how come."

Princess Mira shook her head in denial and seriously corrected in a low voice:

"There are no ghosts in the world. Xiaolan doesn't need to worry about being eaten by ghosts."

"Yes... yes, there must be."

Xiaolan nodded persistently, and described in a low voice with random thoughts:

"It's just that many people can't see ghosts and mistakenly believe that there are no ghosts in the world."

"Xiaolan is overthinking. How could there be ghosts in the world?"

Princess Mira shrugged her shoulders helplessly.

“Really, really!”

Xiaolan recalled how Dongfang Haoyue had changed back to his original form, used the wind to carry her into the air, and even summoned a violent storm to save the helicopter some time ago. She persevered and leaned forward to the left, tilted her head, put her red lips close to Princess Mila's ear, and whispered the secret in a solemn voice:

"Let me tell you, there are not only ghosts in this world, but also ninjas who wield mysterious powers. They can call the wind and rain and fly into the sky."

"Ah...Ninja...?"

Princess Mira took a half step back, her hands unconsciously letting go of Xiaolan, and looked at her dumbly, completely forgetting that she would accidentally reveal the secret, and complained in her heart with a lot of emotion:

"Haoyue, Shinichi and the doctor are right. Xiaolan will indeed reveal secrets unintentionally. Even though Haoyue has warned Xiaolan not to reveal the existence of ninjas, he cannot prevent Xiaolan from leaking secrets......!"

"No, it's nothing!"

Xiaolan realized belatedly that she had said something she shouldn't have said, and hastily waved her hands, changing the subject and saying firmly in a soft voice:

"In short, there are ghosts in the world, there is no doubt about it!"

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Princess Mira nodded repeatedly in sorrow, spread her hands in her heart, and muttered numbly:

"That is to say...it is precisely because Haoyue had shown off his miraculous ninjutsu in front of Xiaolan before that Xiaolan became more convinced that there are supernatural powers in this world, even ghosts are no exception.

It's a headache. It seems that I can't convince Xiaolan to stop being afraid of ghosts...!

Having said that…”

Princess Mira thought about it, looked at the pure and innocent Xiaolan with curved eyebrows, and said happily in her heart:

"Xiaolan, who is afraid of ghosts, is also very cute~~~!"

During this period.

"Look!"

Kudo Shinichi fixed his eyes on the English letters on the forehead of the wooden sculpture, put his left hand in his pocket, pointed at it with his right hand, and reminded according to the usual practice of solving a case:

"Three wooden sculptures have letters painted on their foreheads!"

"Yep!"

Dongfang Haoyue stood on the right side of Kudo Shinichi, with his hands upright behind his back and clasped together, looking up at the English letters, agreeing with Shinichi as always.

"Ok?"

Maori Kogoro put his hands in his trouser pockets, carefully observed the three wooden sculptures in amazement, and described them calmly:

“The wood carving on the far right has R painted on it.

The wood carving in the middle has the letter N painted on it.

The wood carving on the left has an L painted on it. ”

Maori Kogoro took a few steps forward and stopped to the left of his office chair. He looked up at the wood carving and thought steadily:

“If the L and R on the left and right stand for left and right respectively, then what does the N in the middle mean?

Could it be north, the north?"

The voice just fell.

The three wooden sculptures stopped their shrill cries and all retreated back into the cuckoo house.

The door of the cuckoo house closed.
