The unscientific detective in Conan

Fujino glanced at Renki Shitara, whose face was full of fear, and was extremely satisfied with the reaction of this confused girl.

Well, he likes this kind of silly girl who is easy to fool.

After pretending to think for a while, he pondered: "It's not a ghost, but as the saying goes, people will become monsters if they live for a long time, and objects will be born with a long history. Some unspeakable things will be born. Even if they will not be born, they will be more or less stained with some unspeakable things."

"I have encountered a case before. The old woman liked to collect masks. In the end, she was killed, and the former owners of those masks had a miserable end."

Fujino said, looking at her and said: "Do you know who has owned this violin before, and what happened to the owner?"

"This... I don't know." Renki Shitara shook her head slightly, and then continued: "But I have heard about the incident thirty years ago!"

For an old object, the owners who have owned it must be numerous. It would be outrageous if nothing happened to it.

This is the so-called survivor bias.

No one would remember if nothing happened, but everyone would remember it only if something happened.

So, Fujino put on a serious look, supported his chin with both hands and said to Shitara Renki in a serious tone: "Tell me more."

Shitara Renki recalled: "About thirty years ago, Grandpa Tanjiro, who was delivering a piano to Grandpa Choichiro, encountered a group of robbers when delivering the piano. Grandpa Choichiro was tied up honestly, so he escaped the disaster, but Grandpa Tanjiro who resisted was beaten up because of resisting the robbers. He died of serious injuries a few days later."

Fujino sorted out the information and asked: "Then what about Mr. Yuga Kyosuke's mother?"

Shitara Lian Xi sighed, "Grandpa Tanjiro's wife died in front of Grandpa Tanjiro after taking care of him for a few days because of excessive grief and her weak body."

"It was because of this incident that Uncle Yuga Kyosuke was taken back to the Yuga family on his mother's side to be raised, and his name was changed from Shitara to Yuga."

Fujino pursed his chin when he heard this: "If that's the case, then this violin seems to be tainted with death..."

"What is death?"

"No, you won't understand it even if I tell you, so I won't tell you."

Fujino I don't know what the death qi is, so I simply change the subject: "Now let's talk about the commission. You said so much, do you want me to investigate the cause of death of these people?"

"That's right!" Shitara Renxi nodded fiercely: "This zither is really strange. Both my father Jiangren and my grandmother Miyong died because of playing this zither. This year it will be my turn. Maybe I will die by then!" Fujino pondered for a moment and said: "My personal suggestion is that you get rid of this thing quickly, wrap it in red cloth and put it in the bank safe. Don't keep it in your pocket. Don't play it even if you take it home."

"But I want to play it..."

Shitara Renxi said shyly: "After all, this is a Stradivarius. Grandpa usually doesn't want to take it out. He only lent it to me so that I can get familiar with it before playing it."

As she said that, she also looked at the middle-aged housekeeper passing by the door furtively: "And I tell you, the housekeeper Jinqu has passed by several times. She must be afraid that we have any ideas about this violin and is monitoring us!"

The passing housekeeper Jinqu Hongsheng: "..."

So what are these two talking about secretly?

Curses, uncleanness, and red cloth.

Why do I feel that this detective is like a charlatan?

Miss Renxi is usually stupid, she won't be fooled, right?

Shitara Renxi didn't know that the housekeeper was worried that she was being fooled, so she continued to whisper: "Today is the first time I touch this violin. Grandpa has lung cancer. With his current physical condition, he probably won't live long. When the time comes, this violin will be handed over to Grandpa Gensaburo, and I probably won't be able to touch it again..."

Fujiano: "..."

Your grandfather hasn't died yet, and you're just coveting the inheritance, right?

It's a great filial piety.

Fujiano was speechless about the filial daughter in front of him, and said: "Let's just say, isn't this just a violin? Why do you have to have this violin?"

"This is Stradivarius!"

Shitara Renxi looked as if it was a matter of course: "Like this top-notch violin, both the tone and the feeling are top-notch. Which violinist doesn't want to play a song with this violin?"

Fujiano: "..."

You guys who play music, I really don't understand your train of thought.

Isn't it just an old broken violin?

Is it worth it...

Fujino secretly complained in his heart.

Suddenly, he frowned and looked out the window: "Ms. Renxi, do you smell the smell of barbecue?"

"Barbecue?"

Shitara Renxi looked confused.

Fujino continued to look out the window: "It's not barbecue, to be precise, it should be the smell of burning wood."

"It shouldn't be..."

"Boom!"

Just then, a burst of intense burning sound came, and Shitara Renxi stood up anxiously and looked out the window, and saw a raging fire in the annex next to the main building of the villa.

"Grandpa Genzaburo is still in there!"

Shitara Renxi didn't think much, turned around and ran out of the room.

Then I glanced out the window, and the world in front of me became black and white.

With just one glance, he could confirm that no one was alive in the house.

No, there seems to be a vital sign on the third floor?

Frowning, he turned around and looked at the violin on the table.

After thinking for a moment, he put the violin into his pocket, then turned around and followed.

Shiloh's villa is made of wood, and the entire building is made of wooden frame structure, so once a fire breaks out, the fire will burn very vigorously.

By the time everyone came to the door, the fire had engulfed the entire villa.

The first one to rush in was Haga Kyosuke, followed closely by Shitara Renki.

When Fujino saw his client rushing in, he could only follow him.

"This is it!"

Haga Kyosuke came to the door of the first room on the second floor and knocked hard: "Uncle, did you hear that?! Open the door quickly!"

"hiss!"

He stretched his hand towards the door handle, but as soon as he touched it, he was so hot that he retracted it.

"Start!"

"Peng!"

Fujino pushed him away, kicked him up with a flying kick, and then the door fell to the ground.

What caught everyone's eyes was a sea of ​​fire in the room, and a dark figure lying on the bed with his burned muscles curled up.

"Third Grandpa!"

Shitara Renxi wanted to go in, but was grabbed by Fujino and said in a deep voice: "It's useless. If it burns to this extent, I'm afraid the person has..."

"Ahem!"

At this time, there was a sound that sounded like he was about to cough up his lungs. Fujino looked back and saw Choichiro, the head of the Shitara family, climbing up the stairs, kneeling on the ground and saying with great effort: "Aya... Ayaone Still upstairs!"

"Hey, grandma, she hasn't come down yet?!"

Shitara Renxi panicked: "Didn't you say you would go back to the main building after listening to Dad's tape?!"

"Cough...cough...but...Xuanyin...she is asleep, and I can't go back alone..."

Fujino looked at the old man who was about to cough up his lungs in front of him and asked, "Which room is she in now?"

"The third floor...the innermost room."

"how so……"

"Wait, Mr. Fujino, what are you going to do?!"

"Breaking through the air!"

Shitara Renxi turned around and looked at the stairs upstairs, and found that it had been engulfed in a sea of ​​​​fire. Then, she saw Fujino suddenly took out two knives from nowhere and rushed into the sea of ​​​​fire.
