I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

"This led us to mistakenly believe that the principal was standing in the rain with an umbrella."

"Actually, the umbrella was deliberately placed there by the person who created the campus ghost story to protect the paper from the wind and rain."

Hattori Heiji frowned.

"What about the footprints? If someone left them there, I'd definitely want to get them back, right?"

"If there were no footprints, how could the umbrella have magically returned?"

If there really were paranormal events, then I might believe in them to some extent.

However, this incident was clearly purely man-made, and it was impossible for anything to be moved remotely.

Conan, on the contrary, realized something.

Because he was shorter than Hattori Heiji, he could see a little more, such as the obvious long, drag-like marks on the ground in the center of the plaza.

In that case, does it mean...?

"Using a rope, Shigu used a rope!"

"He tied a rope to the handle of the umbrella, and after the rain stopped, he pulled the umbrella back little by little with the rope, which caused the umbrella handle to leave long strips of scratches on the ground."

"After putting the umbrella away, he shook it on the side of the corridor, leaving water stains on the side of the corridor."

"In other words, only the person with water on their umbrella could be the one who created the school ghost story, and obviously, the only one with water on their umbrella is Shiko Kunihiro..."

Sonoko Suzuki added a few more words at this point.

“When we found Shigu, he said he had been staying in the school clinic the whole time and hadn’t gone out at all.”

"But we found that umbrella in the school clinic. If Shigu really didn't go out, then why is there water on Shigu's umbrella?"

"Moreover, there was no school doctor in the school clinic at this time."

"Why is Shigu talking about going to the school doctor to check his health at this time?"

These words caused Shigu Guofan's expression to change.

But he wanted to struggle a little longer, he said.

"I... I was taking a nap in the infirmary."

"What if the person who created the school ghost story steals my umbrella while I'm asleep, uses it to create the school ghost story, and then tries to pin the blame on me?"

Kazumi Tsukamoto, who was already preparing to make a move, turned her head to look at Sonoko Suzuki.

Then they heard Sonoko Suzuki's soft voice.

"Um, Senior Shigu."

“Actually, when you put the umbrella away, A-En and I were watching from the window upstairs. As soon as you put the umbrella away, we went downstairs. There was no one else in the corridor at the time.”

Shiguguofan:?

Are you kidding me?!

Why are you staring at an umbrella when you have nothing better to do?

Chapter 1084 You are all good people, virtuous people, kind people, and I am the only fool?

"...I really didn't expect you guys to have so much free time."

Seko Kunishige was rendered silent by Suzuki Sonoko's words, and could only utter this sentence in the end.

"Actually, I have my reasons, do you believe me?"

Before she could finish speaking, Tsukamoto Kazumi grabbed Seko Kunishiro by the collar and lifted him up.

She hadn't done anything for a long time because she was focused on getting into university.

Now, it's possible that we might have to resort to killing.

The female karate fighter sneered.

"I believe you, but my fists don't necessarily believe you."

This scene left Hattori Heiji, who was standing nearby, completely stunned.

This irritability level is much higher than that of Kazuha and Ran.

The next moment, Shigu Guofan hurriedly said.

"Wait a minute, even if I am the one who created that strange incident of the table in the rain on campus."

"That doesn't mean I was the one who caused those three campus ghost stories."

"Didn't you consider the possibility that I was actually coerced?"

His words made Kazumi Tsukamoto pause slightly.

However, at this point, Sonoko Suzuki delivered another blow.

"Senior Shigu, even if you say that, you were still responsible for the previous three campus ghost stories, weren't you?"

"The titles of the four books that Hosaka-senpai borrowed were too difficult to pronounce, and very few people have borrowed them over the years. If someone was not familiar with Hosaka-senpai, it would be impossible for them to remember the titles of those four books and use them to create a ghost story."

"Therefore, the only person who can truly create such a paranormal event is someone who is familiar with Hosaka-senpai."

"The people who know about those four books are Tsukamoto-senpai, Mononobe-senpai who is a good friend of Hosaka-senpai, and Seko-senpai who has been a good friend of Hosaka-senpai since childhood and often read those four books during his hospitalization."

Shiguguofan:?

How do you know that Hideaki Hosaka brought these four books to read to me every day while I was in the hospital?

You know about what happened at the hospital?

The sky has fallen! This is a huge blow from the Suzuki Group!

Shi Guguo's expression changed slightly.

And after that, Sonoko Suzuki said something else.

"I just found out that your home is right next to the high school, Senior Shigu."

"Then the so-called tears of resentment from the spirit of Hideaki Hosaka should be the result of Senior Seko placing ice in the groove next to the fire extinguisher and then applying wax directly under the groove to prevent anyone from noticing that water was leaking out of the groove."

"As for the initial ghost story, Hosaka-senpai's crying in the warehouse..."

She sighed and said.

"Actually, it wasn't Hosaka-senpai who was crying, but Seko-senpai, wasn't it?"

This caused Shigu Guofan to completely lose his composure.

His expression changed several times, but he finally admitted it outright, and then said...

"However, I did have my reasons for doing this."

"If I don't do this, how can I lure out the person who killed Hideaki Hosaka?"

Tsukamoto Kazumi, who had been holding onto the collar of Seko Kunihan's robe, let go upon hearing this.

She couldn't quite understand what Shigu Guofan meant by saying that.

The person who killed Hideaki Hosaka?

Wasn't Hideaki Hosaka killed in an accident?

On the other side, Masao Mononobe's expression changed several times before he finally spoke.

"If there is definitely someone who killed Hosaka-san..."

"Then I'm the one who wants to kill him."

He sighed and finally began to explain what had happened.

At that time, the school had acquired two new plaster statues.

He and Hideaki Hosaka were good friends at the time, and on a whim, they decided to move the plaster statue to the entrance of the art room to scare the art teacher. However, he went too far and went straight up to the third floor.

I heard what Hideaki Hosaka said when I was halfway up the stairs to the third floor. I was about to put the plaster statue back at the entrance of the art room.

Finally, because the plaster statue was too heavy, he slipped and lost his balance, falling directly towards the stair landing. To protect him, Hideaki Hosaka instinctively caught him.

He was unharmed, but Hideaki Hosaka was hit on the head by the plaster statue and immediately rolled down the stairs.

He died despite treatment.

He concluded by saying...

"I was completely stunned and didn't dare to move."

"It was Dr. Araide who arrived at the scene first and treated Hosaka. I saw Hosaka seemingly saying something, but I didn't hear anything. I guess it was something to blame me..."

"That's why I've become so neurotic..."

However, at this point, Tomoaki Shinide shook his head.

"I immediately provided first aid to Hosaka and heard what he said."

He said, "I'm sorry, I must have scared the other students and teachers if I fell here." In the end, he didn't hold any grudge against anyone else.

Before Shinichi Akira could finish speaking, Kunishige Seko frowned and continued.

"What's the deal with the desks in the warehouse?"

"Isn't it possible that someone bullied Hosaka, making him move the plaster statue, which ultimately led to this tragedy? Are you all good people, virtuous people, kind people, and I'm the only fool?"

Tsukamoto Kazumi then explained.

"Because everyone misses Hosaka-san."

"So after Hosaka-san left, we wanted to keep Hosaka-san's desk so that Hosaka-san could participate in the graduation season with us, but the teacher was a little hesitant."

"So we pooled our money to buy a new desk and put the old one in the sports storage room."

"The name engraved on it also indicates that the desk belongs to Hosaka-san. Hopefully, no one else will take the desk from the sports storage room. If it is taken, it will be easy to find it."

Shigu Guofan was stunned.

Why has no one ever told him about this?
