Seven years ago, timeline.
Fujiwara Yu was diligently searching for the Child of Destiny named "Edogawa Conan," believing that only by finding him could he gain permanent residency in...
Ten minutes ago, at the gate of Teitan High School.
In order to satisfy her curiosity, Suzuki Sonoko contacted her best friend Mouri Ran and went to school together after receiving a call from a mysterious man. If she had not fought wits and courage with the security guard at the door for a long time, she would have arrived at the old teaching building long ago.
"Sonoko, are we really going? Will it be dangerous?" Still wearing her Teitan High School uniform, Mouri Ran frowned worriedly. She was already a little afraid of the seven curses circulating in the school, and now she was going to the old teaching building where no one went on weekdays. She was really worried that some monsters would appear.
Suzuki Sonoko casually put her arm around Xiaolan's shoulders and said with a hearty smile:
"Don't worry! The old teaching building still has electricity at night. We can just turn on all the lights in the corridor and there's nothing to be afraid of! Besides, you're a karate master. Even if you encounter ghosts, you can knock them down with just two punches!"
"...You're lying. The monsters in the game all have physical resistance, and I'm not a magical girl." Ran Mouri pouted and complained softly. She looked at the old teaching building that appeared in her field of vision, and the frequency of her swallowing became faster.
Suzuki Sonoko smiled awkwardly at her best friend. She had never expected that Xiaolan's mind would work so quickly. After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly came up with a feasible solution and said:
"Oh right! Didn't Mr. Ying Si come to school during the day? Give him a call. The call I received was also very strange. Why don't you ask him to come and accompany us to the biology classroom?"
"Eh? This isn't a good idea. It's already time to get off work."
"At worst we can treat her to a meal. If you're worried, just call her!"
Ran Mouri hesitated for a while, and just when she took out her cell phone to contact Sosuke Takagi, there was a loud noise from the second floor. She was so scared that she trembled so much that the phone fell on the wooden floor.
She squatted down to pick up the phone, looked nervously at Suzuki Sonoko, whose face was also not very good, and said tremblingly:
"Yuanyuanyuanyuanzi, you, you heard the sound too, right?!"
"Yes, yes... let's go up and take a look?" Suzuki Sonoko swallowed hard. She plucked up the courage to push open the door of the old teaching building and asked.
"No! I can't stand it if there really is a monster in there!" Mao Lilan shook her head and refused. She was really afraid of these things. Now there was a loud noise coming from the biology classroom, and she would definitely not go up.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have accompanied Sonoko here. I might as well go home and eat out with my dad Conan!
——“No one?!”
The conversation sounds coming from the second floor sounded familiar to Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran. They looked at each other and said the four words "Mr. Toushi" at the same time. They realized that the voice might have been made by Toushi Sosuke, and they held hands and mustered up their courage and walked towards the old teaching building.
After wandering around the biology classroom without any results, Fujiwara Yuu heard footsteps coming from the door and cautiously stood in front of Tachibana Ryozo. After seeing who was coming, he said in surprise:
"Why are you here?"
"Mr. Yingsi!"
Ran Mouri relaxed after seeing Sosuke Takagi. With a reliable police officer here, she no longer had to worry about any monsters. As long as Officer Takagi was there, it was a safe zone.
"I received a call from a strange man saying that a death ritual would take place in the biology classroom at 10 p.m. I thought it was very strange, so I dragged Xiaolan along." While explaining, Suzuki Sonoko took out her cell phone to show Sosuke Takagi. The landline number on it was indeed the same as the one that the previous students had received.
"Are you also a member of the mystery novel research club?"
"Well, but I'm just a nominal member because their club doesn't have enough people. I have a good relationship with Senior Sakurashu, so I agreed to let her join the club in name only." Suzuki Sonoko nodded.
Mao Lilan noticed that Tachibana Ryozo had been muttering beside him, and said with concern:
"Mr. Tachibana, are you okay?"
"It's not that nothing's wrong, something big has happened. There was clearly a student's hanged body here just now, and there was also a strange masked man. How come they have completely disappeared now?!" Tachibana Ryozo was a little emotionally broken. He felt that the curse circulating in the school might be true, otherwise how could such an outrageous thing happen.
Damn it, absolutely damn it!
As soon as these words were spoken, Ran Mouri successfully reached out and hugged Suzuki Sonoko's arm in fear. She looked around nervously, but did not see the so-called body or any masked man.
Fujiwara Yu held his forehead helplessly. He had just checked the entire biology classroom and found no signs of it having been used. Even the window locks were covered with thick dust.
Most importantly - there were only their footprints on the floor.
If the murderer and the body had really appeared in this room, it would definitely not be like this now.
Could it be that the scene he saw wasn't in this biology classroom? But even if he was mistaken, it couldn't be that both of them were mistaken at the same time, right?
Fujiwara Yu held his chin and thought about it. After hesitating for a long time, he entrusted Tachibana Ryozo to take the two girls back to the guard room to rest. To be on the safe side, he decided to inspect the old teaching building alone.
He walked along the corridor on the second floor of the old teaching building with a flashlight in hand. Just as he was about to open the first classroom, he heard Ran Maoli's scream from the first floor. He hurried downstairs and saw Ran Maoli buried her head in Suzuki Sonoko's shoulder with a slightly sobbing voice, complaining softly:
