Chapter 494: The Weeping Sports Warehouse and the Resentful Library
"Something?" Tsukamoto Suzumi frowned in dissatisfaction, and looked at Mao Lilan and suddenly realized, "You are a famous high school detective, you don't believe in supernatural events, do you?"
Yuya smiled awkwardly: "This is what Xiaolan asked. Maybe it's because it's her turn to be on duty next week, so she's a little scared."
Mao Lilan widened her eyes in surprise: "How did you know?"
Yuya shrugged his shoulders: "I guessed it right away, otherwise why would you drag Conan and me to investigate together?"
Conan next to him also had a laughing expression on his face. He had just been used as a shield by Mouri Ran to fight against ghosts.
Although ghosts don't exist, such behavior still makes Conan feel cold.
No, I have to blackmail Xiaolan for something when I go back, it would be best if... As he thought about it, Conan's expression suddenly became obscene.
Fortunately, he was small and had his head down, so no one saw his expression.
Mao Lilan was a little embarrassed: "No, I just because..."
Yuya smiled faintly and continued, "Besides, recently some people in school are indeed panicked because of this incident. No matter what the reason is, I think it is necessary to investigate. What if someone is using campus legends to scare people on the surface, but is actually doing something illegal and criminal behind the scenes? If it gets out, it will be bad for our school's reputation."
Miyano Shiho secretly admired Yuya, who made the originally nonsensical matter sound reasonable and well-founded. Look, even Tsukamoto Suzumi, a senior in the third year of high school, believed it.
Tsukamoto Suzumi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "What you said makes sense. I might as well come and help. Hosaka and I are classmates, so I know a little about his affairs. But there is probably no need to investigate this gymnasium warehouse."
It's not that she was easily fooled, but Yuya's identity as a famous detective was too important, and his words made sense, which convinced her immediately.
Tsukamoto Kazumi walked into the warehouse and pointed at a ventilation window above. "The lock of that window is broken and there's no way to close it. It can only remain half open like this. I think the so-called crying sound is caused by the wind blowing through the gap in the window, right? That's what everyone says."
Yuya looked up at the window and nodded thoughtfully: "This is indeed a possibility."
Mao Lilan asked curiously: "But why is Hosaka's desk placed here?"
Just as Tsukamoto Suzumi was about to say something, there was a rustling sound outside.
When everyone walked outside the warehouse, they found that it suddenly started to rain lightly.
Suzuki Sonoko said in annoyance: "Oops, I didn't bring an umbrella when I went out this morning."
"Then let's find a place to hide from the rain," Tsukamoto Kazumi suggested, "Why not go to the library? It's a good opportunity to investigate the library of resentment."
Mao Lilan immediately showed a frightened expression.
Conan walked up to Yuya and pulled the hem of his clothes, whispering: "I found a signature on Hosaka Hideaki's desk."
Yuya nodded slightly and whispered, "Based on the handwriting, it was definitely left by him."
Conan pinched his chin and said, "I remember you were also at the scene when the accident happened? It was an accident, right?"
Yuya: "It was an accident, yes, but..."
Suzuki Sonoko interrupted Yuya's words by shouting from a distance: "You two, what are you still talking about? Hurry up and go to the library!"
"Coming, coming!" Youye responded and hurriedly chased after him.
A few people came to the bottom of the teaching building and met a boy with a buzz cut.
Tsukamoto Suzumi was a little surprised to see him and shouted, "Where have you been, Seko-san? I've been looking for you for a long time."
Shigu Kuniharu smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I was feeling a little unwell, so I took a leave of absence this afternoon and have been resting in the health room."
"how is it now?"
Shigu Kuniharu: "It's alright. By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Tsukamoto Suzumi smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. Since you're not feeling well, let's talk about it another day."
Shigu Guofan didn't ask any more questions. He put his hands in his pockets and walked past everyone to the health room: "Then I'll go rest for a while, and then I'll go home directly."
Suzuki Sonoko asked curiously, "Are the senior student just now and Hosaka also in the same class?"
Tsukamoto Suzumi shook her head: "No. But I heard that he and Hosaka grew up together."
Childhood friend? Youye glanced at the health room thoughtfully. When he saw this person, he remembered that this series of supernatural events were all caused by him.
But his intention is not bad. Find a chance to explain it to him.
Everyone continued to head towards the library.
While going up the stairs, Mao Lilan felt that the atmosphere was a bit dull, so she casually found a topic: "But it seems rare that a senior from the sports team would go to the library to read."
Tsukamoto Suzumi was a little embarrassed and complained, "That's a bit too much. I will study hard, and I will take the entrance exam next year. I just agreed to help you investigate the supernatural incidents, and going to the library is also convenient for you."
When I arrived at the library, I saw many students reading books seriously. They were all good kids who loved to learn.
Yuya looked around and asked casually, "So, what's the situation with the library of resentment?"
When Suzuki Sonoko heard this, she immediately started to act like a horror story master again: "The student in charge of managing the library came here early in the morning and found several books thrown everywhere..."
Tsukamoto Suzumi took over the conversation and said, "And these are all books that Hosaka has borrowed before."
Suzuki Sonoko continued: "I think Hosaka-san must be resentful because she can't continue reading these books..." As she spoke, she became more and more excited, and her voice couldn't help but get higher.
"Sonoko, your voice is too loud." Youya kindly reminded her.
Suzuki Sonoko was stunned and when she turned around, she saw that the students who were reading seriously were looking at her with dissatisfaction.
"Sorry, sorry..." Suzuki Sonoko quickly clasped her hands together and apologized.
Conan tilted his head and asked, "Sister Xiaolan... if those books were thrown around, the librarian would have found them before locking the door and leaving, right?"
Mao Lilan bent over and answered him: "I heard that the books were either thrown behind the bookshelf or under the table, so the administrator didn't see them when he left."
Tsukamoto Sumi came over and patted Mao Lilan on the shoulder, and said with a relaxed look: "Someone must be using supernatural legends to scare people. If I see such a boring guy, I will definitely catch him and beat him up. You have to help me when the time comes, Xiaolan."
Beat up a ghost? With karate? Is it possible?
But in the face of the senior's request, Mao Lilan could only blink her eyes and laugh dryly and agree: "Okay... okay."
