After the simulation, the female characters in Detective Conan break down.

"what!"

A sudden scream caught Hoshinogi's attention.

Could this villa really be haunted?

Hoshino didn't believe it.

then.

Hoshino walked toward the direction of the screams.

.......

"Conan, I'm so scared!"

"Ayumi, don't make a sound, stay close to me!"

"...?"

Hoshino walked to a corner.

Then I saw two small figures hiding in the corner.

If Conan were here.

That means...

here it is...?

Hoshino understood.

This is the villa where the legendary haunted house murder case took place.

and so.

There are no ghosts here at all.

Everything is caused by humans.

five years ago.

This villa was once home to a happy family of three.

one day.

The father severely criticized and berated his son for failing the college entrance examination for three consecutive years.

In a fit of rage, the son killed his father.

By the time they realized what was happening...

My father's body was already cold.

The son was panicked and didn't know what to do.

Just as he decided to turn himself in to the police station.

His mother stopped him.

The mother wanted to help her son escape responsibility for being a murderer.

And in order to ensure that his son's future prospects would not be affected.

They locked him in the basement dungeon.

This stage lasts for 5 years.

Sighs could be heard in the villa every night.

It was actually the son's voice of repentance and crying after accidentally killing his father.

Hoshino already understood.

So this house really got a huge bargain.

We talked about clothes for a long time.

This villa doesn't even qualify as a haunted house.

Now Hoshino only needs to follow Conan.

To ensure Conan can successfully persuade the mother and son.

Let them turn themselves in.

Chapter 40 Miyano Akemi: My lower abdomen is all better now!

Hoshino Ki has truly secured the house.

only.

This mother and son are truly immoral.

The house isn't even mine anymore.

They just kept refusing to leave.

Staying in the basement is terrifying every day.

Why bother.

"Conan, is it a monster!?"

Ayumi looked terrified.

Two little hands tightly gripped Conan's clothes.

"Shh! Hush!"

Conan shielded Ayumi behind him, hiding the two of them in the shadows.

At this time.

An elderly woman pushing a cart emerged from around the corner.

The old woman was dressed in black.

Tall and thin.

Her long white hair cascaded over her shoulders.

It looks terrifying.

And on the food cart that the old woman was pushing.

It looks like a plate of food is laid out.

The food is placed on a plate.

The blanket completely covered the area, obscuring the view inside.

A candle holder was placed next to the plate.

There are three candles on the candle holder.

It must be for lighting.

To avoid being discovered that someone is still living in the villa.

Therefore, this woman usually did not turn on the lights.

It is rumored that will-o'-the-wisps often pass by the villa.

It was probably just the light from a lit candle.

The electricity in the house is also functioning normally.

This indicates that someone has been living in this house all along.

Hoshinogi followed Conan and Ayumi.

We walked all the way to the end of the road.

"Damn it, where did it go?"

Conan rushed over anxiously.

They found no trace of the old woman at the end of the road.

Only a lone cart remained there.

Conan searched around.

"I knew she was a monster! How could a human just suddenly disappear!"

Ayumi trembled with fear beside her.

Make fists with both hands and place them under your chin.

His terrified eyes stared blankly around him.

"How is that possible! That's clearly a person!"

Conan groped around at the end of the road.

"This is?"

Suddenly, a suspicious spot caught his attention.
