Sitting back in front of the computer, he pointed at the screen:

"You see, the floor of this house is made of old-fashioned stone, which is slightly more conductive than wooden floors."

"The information Rinnosuke gave me earlier also indicates that this is an old house. When it was built, there was no electricity in Gensokyo, so naturally, there was no insulation."

"But there are some simple electrical appliances in the house, which suggests there may have been new wiring installed underground. Since the landlord rents out the property, he certainly wouldn't have paid much attention to the wiring and wouldn't have spent a lot of money on installing additional insulation."

"Then, as we entered, I punched the wall."

"Rainwater from outside seeps in and flows onto the floor. Because there's no insulation, the rainwater gradually seeps in and comes into contact with the wires..."

There is no need to say more about the rest.

We all know what happens when water comes into contact with uninsulated wires.

And because the floor is damp, its conductivity is also enhanced.

That's why everyone feels tingling and numb.

"This...this is too..."

Youmu was already dumbfounded, and Reimu said beside her:

"This explanation is indeed a bit far-fetched. Do you have any evidence?"

"Of course."

Chu Bai pointed to the screen:

"Or because I broke the wall, the rain has soaked the entire floor of the room."

"Look there, there's already obvious sparks, which is clearly a sign of leakage."

"And when I sensed it just now, although I didn't pay close attention to the structure of the room, I did notice the phenomenon of "electrical wires buried underground."

"So the truth behind that 'weird tingling sensation' is actually that the floor is leaking electricity."

……

……

The several supernatural phenomena encountered by the crowd were explained away in such a light-hearted manner.

Youmu felt a little unwilling, so she continued to ask questions:

"Then... Mr. Rinnosuke's intelligence said that all tenants seem to become listless after moving in?"

Chu Bai immediately replied:

"Because the materials of the house are problematic, they emit volatile compounds such as formaldehyde and radon gas."

"That's the only thing I noticed when I entered the room. After all, it's impossible to hide the smell."

Youmeng asked again:

"Those very inspirational cats and dogs, their fur exploded the moment they entered the room, and then they fled in panic..."

Chu Baixu narrowed his eyes:

"This house has an electrical leak and is filled with harmful gases. If they don't run away, are they going to die?"

Youmu raised his hands three times:

"Then...then there are also sheets and pillowcases flying out of thin air?"

"That was Mao Yu's doing."

This time it was Alice who explained:

"My doll found many tiny traces in the corners of the room, with a faint scent of Maoyu."

"Perhaps the Mao Yu realized that the tenants here could provide a lot of fear, so they quietly invaded and pretended to be ghosts to scare them."

"But the aura of the three of us was too strong, and we scared Mao Yu away."

"So from the beginning to the end, we have never encountered any supernatural incidents of bed sheets and pillowcases floating."

"Ah this..."

Youmeng was suddenly amazed.

This series of supernatural events was actually explained?

It turns out that the strange events in the haunted house were a huge misunderstanding from the very beginning?

But she had one last question:

"So, what about the 'scary note' incident that Mr. Chu Bai saw...

"And how do you explain the sudden appearance of a strange face behind me after I saw the note?"

Speaking of this, Chu Bai smiled slightly:

"Well, we need to find the culprit behind the whole incident and ask him."

"...Huh? The culprit behind this?"

"Yes."

There was a glimmer of wisdom in Chu Bai's eyes:

"There's actually a 'huge paradox' in all my deductions just now."

"It is absolutely impossible for these two conditions to occur at the same time without human intervention."

"But they did appear, and were arranged very cleverly, without any conflicts or errors."

"So this haunted house incident was actually someone deliberately luring us there."

As he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, and someone's face appeared in his mind:

"And thanks to the evidence we have so far..."

"I've already guessed who the culprit behind this is..."

Chapter 121: Verbal battle with Aqiu, Xiaobai Detective Agency is officially established!

The rain seemed to be gradually easing off.

The trio took the bored Reimu with them and flew towards the human village.

Under Chu Bai's guidance, everyone landed in front of a luxurious mansion.

On the plaque in front of the door, the four big characters "Baitian Mansion" were written.

"Haida family?"

Alice raised her brows slightly, as if she understood something.

Chu Bai walked straight ahead, ready to lead everyone into the mansion.

"Wait, stop!"

A guard immediately stepped forward and stopped them.

The guard was wearing armor, with a samurai sword hanging from his waist and a spear in his hand. He looked very professional.

He held the spear horizontally in front of him and said to Chu Bai:

"The front is the Baitian Mansion, no outsiders are allowed to enter."

Chu Bai smiled slightly:

"I'm a friend of Hieda Aqiu. Go and inform him that a friend is visiting."

"Friends of the head of the family?"

The guard looked Chu Bai up and down. Aside from his familiar face, his clothes were those of an ordinary villager. He didn't look like a prominent figure who could possibly have any connection with the famous Hieda family.

So he asked again:

"You said you were a friend of the master. Do you have any token of your identity?"

Chu Bai hesitated for two seconds:

"...I don't have Aqiu's token, but I do have one from Shiki Eiji. How about you show it to her?"

"Shiki Eiji? Who is that? I don't know her!"

The guard's attitude became a little tougher. After all, it was really inconvenient to chase people away in the heavy rain:

"Let's go! Our master is busy with work and not everyone can see him!"

Halfway through the sentence.

The guard suddenly froze in place.

He seemed to have suddenly thought of something and quickly took out a newspaper.

Looking at the appearance of Chu Bai who was interviewed on the front page headlines, and then looking at the identical face of the young man in front of him.

The guard immediately broke out in a sweat:

"Wait, wait...are you Mr. Chu Bai?"

"Sodayo."

Chu Bai touched his chin:

"Is he more handsome in person than in the photo?"

"Ah! It's actually you..."

The guard suddenly had the urge to run away.

This is the ruthless person who just caused the magician's mutation and almost sacrificed the entire village!

Look carefully at the girls behind Chu Bai...

I couldn't make it out before because of the dark weather and heavy rain.

But now I see, isn't this the red and white witch and the forest puppeteer?

What kind of people did he just stop?

"I didn't realize you were the one visiting me. How rude of me..."

The guard swallowed his saliva and immediately changed his expression, putting on a somewhat flattering one:

"I'll go inform the head of the family right away. Could you please wait in the living room for a moment?"

"no problem."

"Then please follow me, my dear guests..."

The guard led Chu Bai to the reception room, then ran decisively, escaping towards Hieda Aqiu's study without looking back.

Chu Bai pointed at himself, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:

"Am I so terrible?"

"Yes, I have."

Reimu skillfully took out the packing bag:

"After all, you are one of the few people who can directly cause changes in the human world."

"I don't think these villagers' fear of you will disappear in the short term."

Chu Bai sighed helplessly, then suddenly realized:

"Okay...wait, are you packing up the tea leaves? Leave some for me too!"

Reimu was not polite:

"I refuse. There are some snacks over there, go get them."
