Some say they have witnessed this mysterious creature leaping under the moonlight, leaving behind illusory shadows, as if it could travel through time and space; others say they have heard its strange cries in alleyways, which sent chills down their spines.
Some even say it has magic powers, can see into people's hearts, and that people who encounter it will experience bizarre events or have strange dreams.
The ghost stories became increasingly bizarre. Some said it was an ancient spirit, others said it was a cursed soul, and still others said it was an emissary from extraterrestrial beings, coming to conquer Earth.
However, despite the various opinions, no one has been able to truly unveil the mystery of this creature, leaving only curiosity and anticipation for the unknown in their hearts.
Perhaps on some unexpected night, you too will catch a glimpse of that mysterious white figure on a street corner, becoming the next witness to a ghost story.
At this time.
The protagonist of the ghost story was happily jumping onto a boy's shoulder and affectionately rubbing his face against him.
"Bu ee ee~~"
"Aww, you're being naughty again, aren't you?"
Yuzuru smiled and gently patted Yingying's head. Little Eevee immediately looked aggrieved and wagged its tail vigorously to show that it was not being naughty and was just playing.
Ai Haibara watched this scene, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
She reached out and took the cute little thing.
The two of them were the closest in the family. They would often get together to read books, sometimes until midnight.
Learning makes them happy.
As for what books to read...
Of course, it's reading those books that "little foxes" love to read, such as "How to Cultivate a Boyfriend Who Loves You to the Bone".
The two people and their pet continued to stroll leisurely down the street.
A vendor passed by, and Yuzuru bought three, one for each of them. He took a bite and said, "Try it, it's very sweet."
Ibrahimovic, beaming: "Eee (???????)?"
Ai smacked her lips: "Not bad (′?`)"
The first time it tasted it, Yingying couldn't wait to lick it with its pink little tongue. The soft, sticky sugar strands stuck to the tip of its nose, making it shake its head incessantly.
Sobbing~
As Yuzuru was pondering how to devour them all in one go, Ai suddenly tugged at his sleeve.
"What's wrong?"
"Look there."
The haughty little girl pointed ahead.
Yuzuru looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a brightly lit house in front of him.
Several Osaka Prefectural Police cars were parked in front of the house, their red and blue lights flashing continuously. Yellow police tape was also put up around the house, indicating that something unusual had happened.
He instinctively said, "Looks like someone else has died."
Ai: "Why are you so skilled at this?"
Yuzuru: "Isn't this what Ran taught us yesterday? Think about it, every time we see this kind of scene, with police cars and police tape, it's usually a case where someone has died."
Ai: "That makes sense..."
Thinking of Ran's remarks yesterday, Ai nodded silently, then looked around for something.
After seeing three familiar figures.
Only then did she turn her gaze away, satisfied.
It wasn't just Ran who discovered the pattern; even the clever Ai had figured it out long ago: whenever a case occurred nearby, there would definitely be Kogoro Mouri, Heiji Hattori, and Conan in the vicinity.
She named this law, which she used to record experimental data, the "Death Law."
"I saw someone I knew."
Yu Sheng Nan said that he saw someone and walked over.
He wasn't talking about the Grim Reaper trio.
"Officer Sakata, it's been a long time."
"Huh? Mr. Yuzuru, what are you doing here?"
Sakata Yusuke, who was methodically arranging his work at the door, turned around when he heard the voice. Upon seeing the person, he was initially surprised, but then immediately greeted him respectfully.
"I was just taking a walk after dinner and happened to pass by."
Hanyu Nanas casually asked, "Officer Sakata, what happened here?"
"Well, Mr. Yuzuru, a murder has occurred here. The police's initial assessment is that it was a robbery and murder..." Sakata Yusuke explained to Yuzuru Nan in detail.
Normally, the specific details of such a murder case should not be disclosed to outsiders, as this would violate police regulations.
But Yusuke Sakata knew very well who the person in front of him was.
It was because the other party helped him that he was able to avoid the murder charge and continue working as a policeman. Although it may have been just a casual act by the other party, he could not forget this kindness.
"Understood."
Yuzuru nodded, his gaze sweeping over the police inspector's rank on Sakata Yusuke's chest: "Is Uncle Toyama inside now?"
Sakata Yusuke quickly replied, "Master is inside investigating the case."
After the Naniwa serial murders, Sakata Yusuke studied under Toyama Ginjiro, and with the support of the Osaka Restoration Society, he was able to make rapid progress.
He rose from a junior detective to his current position as a police inspector.
The debt of gratitude we owe each other is endless!
Knowing that Kazuha's father was also inside, Hanyu Nan, who had nothing else to do, took Ai and decided to go in to join the fun. When they passed by Kogoro Mouri at the entrance, they greeted him.
"Good evening, Uncle Mori."
"Yuzuru, what brings you here?"
"Come and take a look."
"Yes, that's a good reason," Kogoro Mouri nodded.
They watched as the group was about to step inside.
Conan glanced at Hattori Heiji, whose face darkened instantly upon seeing Yuzuru. His face was already dark, and in the middle of the night, if it weren't for his red eyes, Conan would have almost been unable to see him.
"Hattori, don't be impulsive, the case is important."
Hattori Heiji took two deep breaths: "I know."
As they spoke, the two of them were about to go inside together.
At that moment, Yusuke Sakata suddenly appeared in front of them, completely blocking their way.
"Unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering."
Conan and Heiji Hattori: "??"
The two men naturally recognized the murderer who had escaped from their grasp, but they never expected that he would dare to stand in their way.
Conan quickly explained, "We're here to assist with the investigation."
"Sorry, that's the rule."
Sakata Yusuke remained unmoved, his face serious, showing no intention of making any concessions.
Hattori Heiji's anger flared up instantly. "You bastard, I let you get away back then, and instead of being a proper cop, you dare to block my way? Do you know who I am?"
Sakata Yusuke remained calm and composed, replying, "Who you are is none of my business, but this is a crime scene, and you are absolutely not allowed to enter without permission."
"you……"
Hattori Heiji was so angry he was practically fuming. Conan, seeing the situation was getting out of hand, quickly tugged at him, signaling him to calm down. Then, he pointed to Hanyu Nanami inside and asked, "Then how could they go in?"
Sakata Yusuke turned his head slightly, glanced at Hanyu Kusunoki's back, and then replied respectfully, "Because he is Mr. Hanyu."
One sentence left the two speechless.
Is this discriminatory treatment?
