Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Detective Ming Isshiki!

47

For the sake of traffic for other anchors, Kamohashi Ron resolutely closed the door of this room. Not to mention, if the TV inside was not playing Tom and Jerry, just listening to the old and famous symphony inside would be quite scary.

But it's hard not to laugh when you think about the old-fashioned TV inside playing Tom and Jerry.

Kamohashi Ron's words aroused the curiosity of the barrage again.

[If there's anything you can't let us see, Yaya, open the door and let us see.]

[Even if my roommate can't let us watch this, at least we can, right?]

Let's see, we can't do anything.

"Do you really want to see it?" asked Kamohashi Ron.

[Of course, of course]

We are not afraid of anything

【Wouldn't it be better to have something scary? 】

Kamohashi Ron sighed and opened the door of the room inside the castle again. It was very dim due to the light. Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of everyone. It was an old-fashioned TV that was playing a program, and the screen was flashing with snow from time to time.

Then, amidst the chaotic [Is there a high-energy gentleman?] and [bullet screen protection], the old-fashioned TV began playing—

Tom and Jerry.

So the audience watched Tom and Jerry on TV with Kamohashi Ron.

Even Kamohashi Ron took out a bunch of snacks and handed them to Isshiki Totomaru, "Do you want some? Toto?"

"Why are you here with snacks!"

"After all, eating snacks in a mysterious, dimly lit castle was part of my five-year dream list," Kamohashi Ron said. "I just happened to do it ahead of time."

“…a completely unsympathetic dream list!”

Although Isshiki Totumaru said this, he still took the snacks and started eating them together, and politely declined the black honey drink that Kamohashi Ron handed over.

【Ohhhh, I saw my roommate's hand! 】

[Yaya still refused to let us see our roommate’s face]

[Ya Ya calls her roommate Toto, and I will spread a rumor that she is a Dodo]

Just as everyone in the comments chatted about Kamo no Hashiro's roommate, a comment drifted by:

[I understand the logic, but isn't the theme a live broadcast of supernatural events? Why is Yaya just watching Tom and Jerry together? Is that right?]

[The tiger hair next door and the fortune-telling prince have both encountered supernatural events, Yaya here: Tom and Jerry]

[Wrong, Yaya, this is the roommate channel]

How come Tom and Jerry aren't considered roommates?

"I heard some clanging noises next door." Isshiki Todumaru suddenly said, "Is it really haunted?"

"I'll go check it out later." Kamohashi Ron had already finished his snacks. "Whether it's a real haunting or a difficult case, it seems like it'll be very interesting!"

Isshiki Totomaru: "..."

Isshiki Todumaru looked at Kamohashi Ron, then looked at the old TV in the castle, which was playing Tom and Jerry and making the same jingling and clanging sounds.

He thought it was possible that Tom and Jerry was being broadcast somewhere else.

Despite this, out of his sense of responsibility as a detective, Isshiki Totomaru went to investigate the place where the sound was heard with Kamohashi Ron.

Then, walking towards me was——

Prince of Fortune Telling!

He had obviously just been frightened, but despite this, the fortune-telling prince still took out his luck-boosting ribbon: "I just encountered a very strange incident. Fortunately, I brought a lucky item with me today, so I didn't get hurt..."

This guy is always promoting his luck-boosting item everywhere.

"What happened just now? We heard some clanging sounds." Kamohashi Ron asked, and then he and Isshiki Totumaru were forced to listen to the fortune-telling prince's exaggerated and eventful story of how he finally successfully escaped from danger.

Then Kamonohashi Ron briefly summarized: "So you heard strange noises in the room, then saw an inexplicable figure, and finally believed that it was because you were carrying a good luck item that we met here?"

The fortune-telling prince nodded. "Of course, I firmly believe that, and it's clear that these lucky items just saved my life."

"That's too much faith, isn't it?" Isshiki Dudumaru muttered.

"Don't worry, Toto." Kamohashi Ron said, "It seems that the other divination ability that the divination prince is so proud of is of no use."

"It's too urgent to tell fortunes right away," the fortune-teller said nonchalantly. "But...are you interested, roommate? How about a free fortune-teller?"

"I don't think that's necessary." Kamohashi Ron said, "Let's go and see what just happened."

"Didn't I tell you there's a ghost at work?" the fortune-telling prince said. "That kind of situation that's hard for ordinary people to understand must really be caused by a ghost!"

"That's not necessarily true." Kamohashi Ron took out a pair of black leather gloves from somewhere, "Maybe there was an accident with the superpower of the superpower user?"

Something unexpected really happened to the person with super powers.

But Hu Mao's problem was similar to that of the Fortune Telling Prince. Supernatural events also occurred in his live broadcast room, so when he met up with Kamohashi Ron, many comments on the other side breathed a sigh of relief.

[Great! Tiger Hair has finally reunited with the main group.]

[Just came from Hu Mao's live broadcast room, it was quite scary, there were densely packed faces of my face on both sides]

[This is even scarier than the Fortune Telling Prince's place]

[Looking at it this way, there's a real contrast. Tiger Hair and the Fortune Telling Prince's place: a mysterious haunted castle, very scary and strange events. Yaya's place: Tom and Jerry.]

[We were watching Tom and Jerry with our roommate. He even brought snacks with him, and he even passed them to his roommate. Not only did he pass them to his roommate, but he also didn't let his roommate show his face!]

[It’s really good at protecting the privacy of roommates! 】

After listening to Humao's description, Kamo no Hashiro made a thoughtful expression. "So, you discovered a room on the other side, and after entering, you found your own shadow everywhere, and some parts even stretched and shrank infinitely...?"

Tiger Hair nodded and continued, "But it doesn't matter. I know those are all fake because I have super powers!"

Kamo no Bridge Theory: "..."

It seems that no matter whether Hu Mao really has superpowers or is pretending, it can no longer make up for his lack of intelligence.

Then, the corners of Kamo no Hashirō's mouth slightly raised: "Isn't this very interesting? Dudu, let's go and solve some difficult cases together!"

"Isn't this just a simple haunting?"

"That's a very good guess, Toto!" Kamohashi Ron suddenly said, "According to your reasoning, you'll be a true detective in another hundred years!"

"A detective solving cases in the underworld?!"

49

Kamohashi Ron doesn't think it's haunted. Putting aside the philosophical question of whether ghosts actually exist, the descriptions of Prince Divination and Tiger Hair alone don't reveal any mention of ghosts. Prince Divination saw a false human figure of an unknown substance, while Tiger Hair saw himself infinitely extended and shrunk. Such visual illusions could easily be created by someone deliberately creating these things.

So, Kamo no Hashiro took out a flashlight from somewhere and said, "Let's go check out this place that's obviously haunted!"

"Why do you still carry a flashlight with you?" asked Isshiki Dudumaru.

"Because it adds to the atmosphere, life wouldn't be complete without a flashlight when exploring a castle," said Kamohashi Ron, "especially one that appears to be haunted."

"I understand the logic, but don't shine the flashlight on yourself. It's scarier than a ghost!"

[I was startled by the duck]

【Roommate, my mouthpiece】

[Did Yaya actually make all the necessary preparations for the adventure? The final result: Tom and Jerry]

[Don't think about your cat and mouse. I'm almost brainwashed by them.]

[I'm dying of laughter. Look how excited Yaya is about investigating the haunting. I reasonably suspect he's been wanting to investigate for a while now but just never found the right opportunity.]

【YaYa: Haunted incident, here I come! 】

[Isn't this right? Aren't we Yaya emotional anchors? ]

Kamonohashi Ron arrived first at the place the divination prince had mentioned. According to the divination prince, he heard strange noises and saw strange figures in this room. Kamonohashi Ron lay straight on the ground, then observed carefully for a while, and finally stood up again. After some unknown arrangement, he asked the divination prince, "Is this the strange figure you saw?"

The fortune-telling prince was startled, and then said, "Yes, yes, that's right. Suddenly, a figure appeared..."

"Someone just passed by here carrying some kind of cloth or something," Kamohashi Ron said, then he put on his phone. "As for the strange sound, that should be it?"

Prince of Divination: “?”

Prince Divination: "That's the voice, but what's going on?"

"Let's open the door and take a look." Kamohashi Ron opened the door of the room, and as expected, there was a recording device inside that made some strange sounds.

"It turns out it's just some tricks using technology." Tiger Hair said, "But how do I explain that?"

Kamohashi Ron sighed and looked at Hu Mao: "Although it may seem a little wrong for me to say this, Tsutomu has already investigated that place." Kamohashi Ron showed them the photos that Isshiki Tsutomu had found.

"It's just like putting two mirrors facing each other in this room. What Humao saw was just the infinite mirror effect of two mirrors facing each other!" Kamonohashi said, "There's no ghost that scared you like this."

"You shouldn't look so disappointed," Isshiki Todumaru said righteously after returning from another room. "Not everyone has been to school."

You didn't let them go either!
