Seeing that Kōyū had managed to gloss over the situation with a series of explanations, Conan's mouth opened slightly, his expression showing some surprise.
He hadn't expected Guangyou to offer such an explanation.
Moreover, Ran and Sonoko didn't suspect anything.
Most importantly, after listening to it, he felt that there was some truth to it.
However, he was certain that Guangyou hadn't thought that much about it at all.
I just wanted to play a prank, that's all.
Then they used self-destruction and a mix of truth and fabrication to clear their names.
After all that, Conan could only say one thing:
"Why is Kōyū so boring?"
"Have you been using all your brainpower on this?"
Despite his complaints, he had to admit that the pranks were indeed effective.
Ran and Sonoko do seem less scared now.
With the prank he had just played set the stage, Conan felt reassured and told the two of them about another matter:
"That person even wrote a note with a black brush to create panic among everyone."
The above content is...
"I haven't taken my revenge yet!"
Although I'm inclined to believe that someone is deliberately creating a mystery.
Even after hearing this, Ran and Sonoko still felt a sudden chill down their spines.
They had seen the paper being blown by the wind earlier.
The certificate is dry and has not been wet by rain.
But there was clearly no one there before, and there was nothing above the desk to block the view.
Logically speaking, this is absolutely impossible.
"Then why didn't the paper get wet?" Xiaolan asked, puzzled.
"If it wasn't a ghost lying on the table, shielding the rain with its body, and writing that sentence, then what was the reason?"
With her thinking limited, Yuanzi could only come up with this one "reasonable" explanation for the time being.
"Well, we haven't found out yet..."
Before they could finish speaking, everyone heard a scream coming from the room behind them.
Thinking something had happened, Shinichiro quickly opened the door to check on the situation.
Conan also joined the group.
But when they opened the door, they saw nothing.
Then I saw the bespectacled man from before sitting in front of the easel, looking panicked.
His trembling hand lost its grip on the paintbrush, and it fell to the ground with a "thud".
The bespectacled man looked at his hands, his voice trembling slightly:
"It seems that Hideaki Hosaka really died with his eyes wide open in disbelief."
As he spoke, his emotions became increasingly agitated.
The bespectacled man covered his head and said excitedly:
"It seems the paranormal events at school really were caused by Hideaki Hosaka's ghost!"
Seeing the bespectacled man's frightened expression, Kwang-woo pursed his lips, wanting to make a sarcastic remark.
But in this situation, he only complained to himself:
"It's one thing for girls, but what's wrong with this guy...?"
"Could it really be a ghost?"
"High school students here actually believe this?"
Japan has many ghost stories, as well as urban legends.
He understands that girls are afraid of these things.
Moreover, from a guy's perspective, it's not necessarily a bad thing that girls are afraid of this kind of thing.
But for boys...
It's not about discrimination or looking down on someone.
There's nothing to be afraid of, but it's important to know that the existence of "ghosts" has not yet been confirmed.
The man with glasses believed in the existence of "ghosts".
This reaction is either due to excessive cowardice or it is related to the death of Hideaki Hosaka.
If that's the case, then there's still an explanation.
Most people, whether intentionally or unintentionally, cause the death of others.
You are very likely to have nightmares.
He imagined the wronged spirit of the other person seeking revenge.
Noticing the bespectacled man's unusual behavior, Conan stepped forward and asked:
"Excuse me, do you also know this student named Hideaki Hosaka?"
In his panic, the bespectacled man didn't hide anything, nodding several times before saying:
"Yes, he's a member of the art club, just like me."
"And we're in the same group."
Hearing him say that, everyone had a guess in their minds.
To confirm, Sonoko and Ran both asked:
Were you there at the time?
There was no response.
After the two asked the question, the bespectacled man lowered his head and remained silent.
The bespectacled man's reaction prompted Shinichiro to observe him closely.
He suddenly remembered that he had seen this boy at the scene of the accident two years ago.
After realizing what was happening, the bespectacled man began to tell the group to leave:
"Please, all of you, get out."
"In order to make it to this art exhibition, the teacher specially arranged for me to stay in this art classroom by myself to paint."
"So, get out of here!"
"I don't want to waste any more time!"
Seeing that the man with glasses seemed very angry, everyone left the room.
They even thoughtfully closed the door for him.
The bespectacled man was left alone in the art classroom again.
He did not pick up the paintbrush to continue the unfinished painting.
Instead, he sat in front of the easel, covering his head, just like before.
He closed his eyes tightly, seemingly lost in a memory he didn't want to recall.
...
I had originally planned to end today's investigation.
Since this happened unexpectedly, Xiaolan wanted to tell Tsukamoto Kazumi first.
"Conan, there's something here." Kouyu tugged at Conan and pointed to the ground near the stairs.
Why is it flashing?
With this question in mind, Conan crouched down and scratched at the floor with his fingernails.
After observation, Guangyou has come to the following conclusion:
"It's wax."
Noticing their actions, Xiaolan asked:
What's wrong with you two?
