With the abrupt conclusion of the press conference, Sindoor Company was doomed.

Just as Fang Zheng thought, this time Sindorra Company was completely overturned. After all, the AI ​​that invaded the virtual reality system and kidnapped children was made by their company, and the virtual reality system was also made by their company, so all the responsibility lies with Sindorra Company. Well... as of now, bankruptcy is their only option.

But this has nothing to do with Fang Zheng. In fact, he is currently on vacation with Mingmei and Xiaoai.

Of course, although it’s a vacation...it’s more like a business trip.

"Did that guy really say that?"

Fang Zheng asked coldly while driving on the road, and Mingmei nodded.

"Yes, Mr. Kirisaki said it was not his responsibility..."

"If it's not his fault, then whose fault is it? As the dean, he is at least responsible for poor management. Don't forget that we at Umbrella spent a lot of money to settle public opinion!"

Fang Zheng was also very upset when he heard this. The reason was that a hospital under Umbrella had a medical accident some time ago, which resulted in the death of 14 patients. The media focused their attention on the hospital director, Kirisaki Tetsuro, who believed that it was his surgical error that caused the accident. However, he insisted that the medical accident was caused by the hospital nurse's medication error.

Of course, Fang Zheng didn't care about the truth. After all, so many patients died, he would definitely change people. But he didn't expect that this guy had a strong desire to survive. He swore to Fang Zheng that there was absolutely no problem. Of course, it would be best if the nurse could testify, but unfortunately, the nurse also died in a previous car accident, so...

"How stupid is he to think I would believe in necromancy?"

Thinking of the invitation letter that Mingmei forwarded to him, Fang Zheng felt like he was about to laugh out of anger. In order to prove himself, Dean Kirisaki actually invited him to participate in a spiritual ceremony, saying that he wanted the medium to summon the ghost of the dead nurse to prove his innocence... From a certain point of view, this guy was so desperate that he would use any method.

"Even though you say that, you don't plan to go, do you?"

Xiao Ai was flipping through the magazine in her hand while complaining silently.

"Because it's a famous scenic spot nearby, why not take advantage of this opportunity to take some time off? Oh, remember to book a hotel and plan our itinerary. We're going to have a good time out there for a few days this time."

"clear."

Hearing Fang Zheng's instructions, Xiao Ai's lips curled up slightly, and she reached out to pick up a pen and drew a circle on the travel magazine in front of her. This was a rare opportunity for the two sisters and Fang Zheng to go on a trip, so they naturally had to enjoy it. As for the medium ceremony, neither Mingmei nor Xiao Ai took it to heart. After all, Fang Zheng had already said that even if Kirisaki Tetsuro was not primarily responsible, as the hospital leader, he would also be held responsible for poor management, and he would definitely not be able to be the dean. Not to mention finding the dead, even finding the gods would not work.

Besides, as a scientist, Xiao Ai doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but... it's nice to watch the fun from time to time. After all, she has only heard of psychics and has never seen one with her own eyes.

"Ah, Mr. Fang Zheng, turn around here and you will reach Kurauin-no-Sato."

Mingmei took a look at the map and immediately started manual navigation.

"This is a really remote place. Could it be that the guy is going to be fired soon and is so angry that he wants to find an excuse to kill us... huh?"

"What's wrong, Mr. Fang Zheng?"

Seeing Fang Zheng's expression change slightly, Mingmei asked curiously, and Fang Zheng shook his head.

"Nothing, I just think the scenery here is pretty nice."

"Yeah?"

“That’s right…”

As he spoke, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the surrounding forests. Although on the surface, this was just a remote forest, Fang Zheng could feel that just now, he keenly sensed the spiritual energy in this area.

That’s right, aura!

Although the spiritual energy was quite thin, Fang Zheng couldn't even use a decent spell, and at most it was a level 0 trick, but this was enough to surprise Fang Zheng - wasn't Conan said to be a world of science? How could spiritual energy appear? Although many murders in Conan were committed in the deep mountains and forests under the guise of myths, legends, ghosts and the like, in the end they were still science.

Could it be that Conan has an aura that forbids magic?

Of course, Fang Zheng was just complaining. Although there was spiritual energy in this place, it was extremely weak. If the spiritual energy in other places was 0, then the spiritual energy here was only 0.5, not even level 1. The spiritual energy in a place where even zero-level magic could not be used was of little use except being good for the human body. It was even more impossible to kill people like in the magic world.

They drove along the country road and soon arrived at Kuran-no-Sato.

“This place is really magnificent.”

After getting out of the car and looking at the tall house in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh. I heard that this was the residence of some famous psychic school, and now it looks like that.

"There shouldn't be any murders today. This place looks like it's going to have some kind of incident."

At this moment, Xiao Ai also walked over to Fang Zheng and complained silently. After hanging out with Conan for a long time, she, like Fang Zheng, was "experienced" in this area.

"Hahaha, absolutely impossible."

Facing Xiao Ai's complaints, Fang Zheng waved his hands.

"Didn't you ask around? Conan and the others went to the beach. People might die there, but that definitely won't happen here. In order to avoid an 'accidental' encounter with them, I chose to come here in the opposite direction. Unless Conan takes a supersonic plane, it would be extremely difficult for him to appear in front of us. Since Conan is not here, no one will die, don't worry."

Fang Zheng said it was very stable and there would be absolutely no problem!

"I hope so... huh?"

At this moment, Fang Zheng saw Xiao Ai suddenly turn his head and look towards the bushes next to him.

"What's wrong?"

"I felt a gaze."

"It's a little girl."

With Fang Zheng's height, he could naturally sense the truth behind that gaze.

"He should be a resident here. He looks younger than you. Maybe he wants to play with you?"

"I have no interest in playing with children."

Facing Fang Zheng's suggestion, Xiao Ai snorted and replied.

"Why are you so serious? I see you get along well with those kids in the Junior Detective Team."

"But it's exhausting, so I want to go out with my sister to relax. Please spare me if I have to take care of the kids."

Just at this moment, a bus drove up and stopped at the public bus stop next to it, and then two men got off.

"Ah, President! Miss Haibara!"

When he saw Fang Zheng and the others, the man in the lead, who had black and white hair, and was wearing a brown suit, tie, and glasses, suddenly brightened up and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Fang Zheng's hand.

"President! Please rest assured, I will definitely prove my innocence! I will summon the ghost of that nurse who died so casually and make her write a confession that 'it's all my fault'! By then, you will know that I am innocent!"

“…Haha…”

Faced with the excited Kirisaki Tetsuro, Fang Zheng, Mingmei and Xiao Ai looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Do you think you really have hope in this kind of operation?

Forget it. It’s only a few hours before he’s dismissed. Let him do whatever he wants. It won’t be too late to ask Fang Zheng to dismiss him from his position as dean after he’s done with it.

"This is..."

Fang Zheng was too lazy to talk to Kirisaki Tetsuro and changed the subject directly. He looked at the man behind him who was wearing a blue suit and had his hair combed back. He looked a little weak, like someone who was not very reliable. Fang Zheng glanced at the badge on his chest and then quickly looked away.

"Oh, this is lawyer Naruhodō."

"Hello, I'm Naruhodō Ryuichi."

At this moment, the man named Naruhodō also walked forward and handed over his business card with a smile.

"It's our first meeting. Thank you for your guidance."

"Hello, I'm Fang Zheng, this is Huihara Akemi and her sister Huihara Ai."

As Fang Zheng spoke, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over. Naruhodō Ryuichi took the business card, took a look at it, and was stunned for a moment.

"This is... really surprising. I didn't expect that Mr. Fang Zheng, at such a young age, could..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this now, let's go in quickly."

Fang Zheng waved his hand, interrupting Naruhodō and Ryuichi Naruto's business boasting, and then the group walked towards the gate of Kurauin-no-Sato.

At the door, they met a woman wearing a black kimono with her hair tied up in a funny bun on her head. She introduced herself as Kimiko Ayazato, the aunt of the medium Ayazato Mayoi. As for the little girl who had been hiding in the bushes and secretly observing them, it was unsurprising that she was a member of this family. Her name was Harumi Ayazato, and she was a very cute little girl.

After that, everyone went to the inner courtyard under the leadership of Kimiko Ayazato, but unlike what they imagined, the summoning ceremony was held in a closed room, and only the psychic named Mayoi Ayazato and Tetsuro Kirisaki were allowed to enter. Then the whole room was locked from the inside, and as for the others, they waited in another room.

This greatly disappointed Mingmei and Xiaoai. They had originally thought that they would see a soul-summoning ceremony like those seen on TV or in movies, but now they could not see anything here and could only wait outside like fools.

But compared to them, Fang Zheng seemed very calm and even frowned.

"What's wrong, Mr. Fang Zheng?"

Seeing Fang Zheng like this, Xiao Ai also asked curiously.

"No, I feel like I've heard the name Naruhodō Ryuichi somewhere before..."

Fang Zheng thought for a moment and hesitated. When the other party first introduced himself, Fang Zheng was not impressed. But when he saw the name "Narrative Master Wright" written on the business card handed over by the other party, Fang Zheng felt that the name was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

“Fufufu, but Mr. Naruhodō’s last name is really interesting.”

At this moment Mingmei also joined in with a smile.

"surname?"

"That's right, isn't Wright's last name pronounced as So That's It? So we can also call him So That's It, Mr."

"That seems to be the case."

Hearing her sister's words, Xiao Ai nodded, and Fang Zheng's expression changed slightly.

At this moment, he finally remembered where he had seen this name!

Damn it!

Is it too late for me to leave now?!

However, just as Fang Zheng stood up, suddenly...

"Bang!!!"

A dull gunshot suddenly rang out, breaking the original calm.
