A group of them entered the conference room.

The floor of the meeting room is made of wood, and a layer of orange-red rectangular pattern carpet is laid in the middle. On the carpet is a huge wooden rectangular conference table.

Both sides of the table were full of people, five people on the left and right, and three people sat on the sofa. There were thirteen people in total. This is really an unlucky number.

Four seats remain at the far end of the table, two on opposite sides of the table, and two at the end of the table.

It seems that those who were preparing did not seem to have expected that other people would come.

Before Tian Haimai went to pick up Mori Kogoro this morning, he didn't know that Mao Lilan and Edogawa Conan would come.

"Huh, there seems to be a lot of people here." Uncle Mao Li watched everyone turn their eyes here for a moment, and he couldn't help laughing in embarrassment. He walked to the empty seat and sat down.

She and Xiaolan also sat down along the empty seats, and Xiaolan hugged Conan up.The middle-aged servants in the villa are serving us coffee.

Mr. Ohashi walked to the front of the long table and stood there, his expression very calm.

"Then first of all, please allow me to introduce the people who participated in this investigation."

"First, let's start with the two ladies on my left, Mr. Igarashi and her assistant, Miss Suzuki Naoko." I followed Mr. Ohashi's line of sight.

An elderly middle-aged lady with light brown hair sat in a very elegant posture.The other is a young lady with short black hair who is about the same age as Kyoko.

"These three are staff members of the SPR firm. This is the president, Kazuya Shibuya, and the other two are assistants, Narumi and Mr. Lin." The first two handsome black-haired guys looked very young.

Mr. Lin looks about the same age as me, and gives the impression that he is a cold-faced handsome guy who doesn't talk much.

"On my right is Mr. Nan, the director of the Minami Spiritual Investigation Association, and this is his assistant, Mr. Atsugi."

These two were a calculating businessman and his honest assistant, respectively.

"This is Professor Davis from the British Association for the Investigation of the Paranormal." It was a middle-aged blonde with glasses and a friendly smile on his face.

Tian Haimai heard an exclamation from someone in the crowd, as if he said that this is an authoritative professor of psychology who is very famous in the supernatural field.

"This one is the psychic medium, Ms. Yuanzhen Sako." Her seat is very close to Xiaolan. She is a little girl in a kimono, with a cute little head, and her facial features are as delicate as those of a doll festival girl. The puppet is alive.

Wait...why do all the people here have something to do with the supernatural?

Tian Haimai seemed to have heard the voices of the three people who were talking on the sofa behind them, and they mentioned "monk" and "witch" respectively.

She frowned and looked at Koizumi Kyoko, and then heard Mr. Ohashi's introduction.

"This one is Ms. Koizumi Kyoko, the witch, and the other one is Mr. Mori Kogoro, the famous detective. The rest are their assistants Miss Amami, Miss Mori Ran, and this little friend, Edogawa Conan is also one of the assistants. "

Damn!Shocked her for a whole year!

Sister, when did you become a witch?

Tian Haimai was stunned, Koizumi Kyoko, you know I'm afraid of ghosts.Little brother, why are you so fat?

Koizumi Kyoko, her surname "Koizumi" may have been heard of by some people here, and they showed a clear look.

This is a family of witchcraft. Compared with the witches in the shrine, the heirs of their family are more like witches in Western mythology.

The expressions of the people present were very calm. Even when Edogawa Conan was introduced, no one would ask, how could such a dangerous thing bring a child who seemed to be only in the first or second grade.

However, there are still a small number of people who will show their emotions on their faces, and their expressions are full of disapproval.

"Next, let me introduce the situation of this incident to you." Mr. Ohashi began to introduce the situation, "I think you all have a certain understanding of this incident before."

"Because this villa is deserted and no one lives there, children from nearby villages and towns sometimes come to play and play football on the open space in front of the house."

"One time a child's football kicked into the villa. He came in with his friends to find the football. Then one of the children disappeared."

"It happened very suddenly. No matter how much the group of children shouted, they couldn't hear the response from their companions. In addition, everyone saw the interior decoration of this house. It was like a weird maze, so they fled here immediately. Seek help from adults."

"Parents called the police, and the police sent the fire brigade to search and rescue. However, during the search and rescue process, another young firefighter who was looking for the missing teenager also disappeared.

Almost instantly, no matter how his teammates searched on the arranged search and rescue route, the missing firefighter could not be found. "

Yes, this is what Tian Haimai knew. She thought it was artificial, so she made a bet with Koizumi Kyoko.

Mr. Ohashi went on to say, "We have also considered many situations. It may be the escaped kidnapper. The murderer hid in this villa and lived in secret without being discovered by outsiders. However, these two young people found him, so in order to Silenced and abducted the two youths."

"But that's what the boys playing football said."

"They said ... they saw many, many humanoid ghosts reaching out to them ... they also saw people in hospital gowns wandering around the house."

"Hiss..." Tian Haimai's goosebumps rose again.

She heard Xiaolan's slight inhalation, intertwined with her inhalation, turned her head, and she and Xiaolan were face to face.After confirming the eyes, everyone is afraid of ghosts.

The seriousness of this incident was really beyond her imagination.She has begun to wonder, can physical methods really get rid of ghosts?

Tian Haimai took an inventory of the things he was carrying.

The boots had an anti-spike layer, and the baggy overalls concealed two military fixed knife daggers, one on each leg.

There is a soft Japanese knife in the belt, and a kimber is pinned to the back waist. It should not be obvious that he is wearing a super loose T-shirt. The inner layer of the leather gloves on his hands is covered with a layer of stab-proof gloves.

There is an earring on the left ear, which is the transmitter.

There are still some things in the box. Although the equipment is complete, but...

Are these physical things really useful for supernatural things!

Why bet she has no ghosts!Didn't take into account the possibility of ghosts!Go ask for an amulet!Taomu sword!Bring some garlic!What kind of salt, dog blood, etc...

Ah, because Tian Haimai is a staunch materialist.

She has begun to doubt whether this is science or not.

Mr. Ohashi's voice continued.

"Actually, this house was requested by the previous owner to expand it from generation to generation. Before the previous owner passed away, he had to expand it almost every year in office. When he was expanding the house, workers disappeared. things."

"At that time, their family members also immediately called the police, but these cases have not been resolved so far. Before the previous owner passed away, he left a last word different from the extension, "Don't touch that house, let it decay naturally." "

"The previous two disappearances, coupled with the sudden violation of the last words of the previous head of the family, made the current head of the family realize the seriousness of the matter. This gentleman wants to find out the truth of the matter and let everything end in his generation. "

"So, please do your best to solve the matter. If it is a real evil spirit, please eliminate it. For the team that successfully solves the incident, we will prepare a generous bonus."

After Ohashi finished speaking, he bowed deeply to them, and when he raised his head, his expression was extraordinarily calm.

"Uh..." After listening, Tian Haimai's retreat was in his heart, thump, thump, thump.

This doesn't match her major!But... what if it is still artificial?Maybe there is such a slight possibility, isn't it?

Tianhai Mai took a look, she was not afraid at all, she was the smallest and shortest in the audience!

Only elementary school!Conan kid!I have only deep respect for him, respect and respect.

Tian Haimai, you are so weak!Look at other children!Not afraid at all!And still listening carefully!

You look at the eyes of people thinking!That's the eyes of Xueba!You look again what you think!

"Uh..." Now even the kid's brains and courage are better than her simple little fool?

She imagined in the car that she and Xiaolan would be a satisfactory big sister, comforting this little friend who might be scared to cry by ghosts.

slap in the face...

Damn, I want to cry even more.

Mr. Ohashi looked around, everyone had different expressions after listening, but the most hopeless and helpless expression was probably on the face of Miss Amami, the assistant brought by Kyoko Koizumi.

The young lady showed haggard eyes as if she had stayed up for several nights. She grabbed her hair with both hands and stared at the table. Scary, terrible, I'm done, I'm done...

Miss Mao Lilan next to her was still comforting her, and she was holding a child in her arms, which made him even more worried, so he said.

"Of course, if you want to exit at any time, there is no problem. Just don't walk around the house casually, lest you really alarm the things in the dark."

the conference has ended.

They were taken into the rest room, and their luggage was brought in. It was a large room with a bathroom, and four beds were lined up against the wall.

The moment he entered the door, Tian Haimai seemed to glance at the corner at the end of the corridor, and the shadows of several people flashed past, and the shadows quickly retracted to the corner.

Is anyone following them?

She didn't care.

"Do we sleep together?" Mori Kogoro glanced at the interior of the room, and then asked Mr. Ohashi.

"Yes, this is what Ms. Koizumi Kyoko requested."

"Because I always feel very unsafe! Isn't this house full of weird auras! It's safer to be together."

"The law of ghost movies is that you must never act alone, and you must never be alone. I don't need to talk about this truth." Koizumi Kyoko has already started packing her luggage, and she calmly directed.

"I sleep on the side near the window, Mai, you sleep on the side near the door, Mr. Maori, Xiaolan and Conan can sleep in the two beds between us, the bed is big enough, if Conan is not used to being with you If someone else is with me, I'm asking them to add a rollaway bed."

Tian Haimai looked at Xingzi's suddenly reliable figure, and conveyed this message to her eyes: Xingzi Xingzi, can I sleep with you?I am scared……

Then he was stared back by Kyoko's light gray eyes.

Tian Haimai turned to look at Mao Lilan again.

She blinked her pink eyes, eyes filled with longing: Xiaolan, Xiaolan, help me, I'm so scared!

Mao Lilan thought for a while, looked at the super big bed, "How about we go with Conan?"

Tian Haimai lowered her head, stared at the little boy and raised his face, she felt humiliated and frustrated!Shake your head!

No, she can't admit defeat!She couldn't accept that a child seemed more reliable than her!

"You are a 25-year-old adult big sister! How dare you be less courageous than a child!"

Koizumi Kyoko had almost packed her luggage, and started to take out the equipment while she ruthlessly exposed the fact of my age.

Mao Lilan, who was packing her luggage: "Hey!"

Mori Kogoro, who was also packing his luggage: "Nani?"

Edogawa Conan's glasses reflect light.

Tian Haimai knew that he would not be able to escape this time, so he explained to them, the false information, the unfortunate death of his family, and the poor little girl wandering overseas alone.

"It's really not easy." Mori Kogoro frowned after listening, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Lan?" Tian Haimai looked at Xiao Lan in her arms, she rushed up suddenly and hugged her, it was a very warm hug...

Just like the embrace that her lover embraced her every night, it was very warm and fiery, as if it wanted to expel all the haze in her heart.

Her heart has been too sensitive recently, sometimes irritable and sometimes calm and restless, but she has never been able to find the reason.

"It's okay, it's okay, look, I, the client, don't feel sad." Tian Haimai patted Xiaolan's back to comfort him.

I'm sorry, I can't tell you the truth, I'm sorry for cheating your feelings.

"By the way, I should sleep on the edge." Mori Kogoro had already walked to the door. He thought so at first, either by the door or by the window. This is a very dangerous position and girls are not allowed to come.

Koizumi Kyoko is a professional shrine maiden, she can guard one side, and Amami Mai... Look at the scared expression, it doesn't look like a woman who can protect herself.

Tian Haimai wanted to agree subconsciously, but after thinking about the gap in security protection performance between them, she felt that Xingzi's arrangement was the most reasonable, so she shook her head and refused.

"She wards off evil spirits, the safest." Koizumi Kyoko pointed to Tian Haimai, and ruthlessly rejected Mori Kogoro's proposal.

So this is why you took advantage of my desire to win and deceived me into a villa with a 80.00% chance of being a haunted house?Tianhai was silent.

Oh, my good sister, although I usually do things a bit like a dog, but you are a real dog, are you treating me like a dog?Also ward off evil spirits!How did I not know I could do this!

"It's okay, Uncle Mao Li, I really ward off evil spirits, I'll sleep by the door tonight, it's safer." Tian Haimai put on a life and death expression, and put the luggage on the bed by the door.

"Okay..." Kogoro Mori reluctantly compromised when he saw her actions, and he still needs to listen to professionals on this aspect.

She opened the suitcase, took out a small ruler from her trousers pocket, and measured the distance between the zippers of the inner compartment pockets. There was no change, and she closed the suitcase with confidence.

Suddenly, Tian Haimai felt a gaze looking at her, and when she turned her head, there was a brand new doll with golden curly hair on the cabinet in the room, with blue glass eyes, staring straight at them.

Beside her are piles of battered stuffed animals and an elaborate carousel music box.

This room seems to have once lived in children?

Its blue eyes have eyelids, the type that can roll the eyeballs, and its face is porcelain white and fleshy, but in this environment, it looks really cautious.

Tian Haimai walked over and closed his eyes.Feeling a little unreliable, I stuffed it into the drawer of the cabinet again.

"Let's go! It's time for us to investigate!" Kyoko Koizumi moved out all the equipment. The thermal imager and four night vision cameras were all set up in the room, aiming at the door, bed, and windows respectively. There is also one in the corner of the room, which can take pictures of the whole room.She held the remaining night vision camera in her hand.

"Where should we investigate?" Mao Lilan recalled the known information, only the first two disappearances and the fact that this house was once haunted, nothing else was known.

"Why don't we find out the history of the house first?" Edogawa Conan suggested, "Just now Mr. Ohashi just introduced the house in a very general way and it has undergone multiple renovations and expansions. Isn't that strange?"

"Why did the previous house carry out strange continuous expansion instead of rebuilding while the original building remained unchanged? Normally, even if it is an expansion, there will be no such chaotic house structure as it is now, right? And Why did he suddenly change his mind before he died? There are two questions here."

Tian Haimai listened to Edogawa Conan's children's words, and showed even more admiration. Why does this child's thinking have a sharp feeling.

The group of them wanted to find Mr. Daqiao to ask about the situation, but they were told by the middle-aged servant in the mansion that it was getting late and Mr. Daqiao had something to do and had already left.

Everyone who had been running around all morning felt a little tired at this time, so they planned to go back to the room to rest.

On their way back to their room, they ran into the elegant brunette-sensei Igarashi and her assistant, the short-haired black-haired Naoko Suzuki.

"We are going to prepare for a seance ceremony, summon the undead here to ask for some information, can I ask Ms. Koizumi Kyoko to help? Of course, please go and watch together."

After Miss Suzuki finished speaking, Mao Lilan felt a gust of wind in the interior corridor, blowing her hair.

Tian Haimai raised his hand and glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist.

This time, day, is getting dark.
