There is a spacious open space downstairs.
A desk was placed in the open space, standing out conspicuously.
There seemed to be another piece of paper on the desk, with something written on it.
"Look what that is!" Xiaolan already had a guess in her mind, but she still couldn't believe it.
Following Xiaolan's gaze, everyone saw the desk in the open space.
"This prank is a bit too much," Guangyou said, squinting at the desk.
It must have been someone from the school who moved out just now.
If ghosts really existed, he would have eaten the table on the spot.
As for who it is, no one knows.
Looking at the desk, Sonoko said in disbelief:
"Could that desk be the same one we just saw?"
While the two were still looking out the window, Kōyū and Conan had already run downstairs.
...
Upon arriving at the open space, Conan and Tomoaki Shinide, who had followed them, ran towards the desk.
Guangyou, however, remained where he was.
He discovered something interesting.
As they ran, Conan and Tomoaki Shinichi left clear footprints on the open ground where it had just rained.
Interestingly, there were only their two footprints on the open ground.
This can be explained by ghosts.
But ghosts don't exist.
Someone must have used some special method to achieve this.
The purpose was to use Hideaki Hosaka's name to create a series of supernatural events.
As for this person's purpose, Guangyou doesn't know yet.
He didn't change his shoes and chased after them; he just stood at the door watching Conan and the others.
Conan is enough; he'll just wait for Conan to tell him.
...
The papers on the desk were weighed down by stones, preventing them from being blown away by the wind.
There was a sentence on the paper that looked like it was written with a brush:
"I haven't taken my revenge yet."
Simply put, it's a ghost coming to seek revenge on the enemy.
However, Conan naturally didn't believe such a thing could happen.
The wind blew the papers, revealing a corner of the desk.
A casual glance led Conan to see the signature on the lower right corner of the desk.
This also proves that the desk in front of us is the same one in the gymnasium's storage room.
It was also Hideaki Hosaka's desk.
"Who on earth is playing this prank?!" Shinichiro Tomoaki didn't believe the ghost's story either.
Conan cannot answer this question at the moment.
He looked at the paper on the table and said:
"The paper wasn't wet from the rain, so I think it was brought over after the rain stopped."
"That would be strange."
He looked back at the footprints he and Shinichiro had left on the ground and continued:
"Because something very important is missing."
"Those are the footprints left by the prisoner who moved this desk here in this open space."
...
Upon learning the contents of the note, Kwangyu seemed to be deep in thought:
"Revenge, what a cliché story."
"Can't you come up with something new?"
"Hey, that's not the point, is it?" Conan said, somewhat speechless.
Why is it that Guangyou's interests are different from others?
Isn't the focus now on the "disappearing footprints"?
"As a bystander, of course I care more about these things." Guangyou has his own explanation.
However, he wasn't just a passive observer.
He complained about the clichéd revenge plot, then turned his attention back to the main topic:
"Footprints..."
"It must have been done using some special method."
"We can rule out crossbows and such..."
"That's like you didn't say anything at all," Conan thought, feeling annoyed.
The crossbow method can indeed be used to transport certain things without leaving footprints.
First, the items should be light enough that the rope can support them.
Secondly, the crossbow needs to hit something like a tree.
This is how you make things slide down the rope.
Putting aside whether these two problems can be solved, the sound of the desk falling down alone disproves this possibility.
Furthermore, there were no signs of the desk being moved or disturbed.
It was as if it had appeared out of thin air.
"I was just saying that." Guangyou was obviously not serious.
Putting aside his joking thoughts, he began to seriously guess:
"The person who does this is most likely a student."
"If it weren't for a morbid sense of humor, it would be an intentional prank using Hideaki Hosaka's name."
"The murderer must have had a good relationship with Hideaki Hosaka."
"Perhaps they felt there was something wrong with Hideaki Hosaka's death, and wanted to take revenge in this way."
"It's not impossible." Conan didn't deny it; in fact, he seemed to agree.
The truth of the matter will depend on the subsequent investigation.
However, what Guangyou said can be taken as a reference.
If you have no clue, it can still serve as a direction for future investigations.
It's pretty good.
The three who went downstairs to check the situation told Sonoko and Ran what they had discovered as soon as they got upstairs.
Upon hearing this, Sonoko said somewhat fearfully:
"I knew it..."
"That table in the open space is the same one that's in the gymnasium's storage room."
That said, Sonoko and Ran already felt a chill run down their spines.
But Conan probably felt it wasn't enough.
It could also have been unintentional.
After Yuanzi finished speaking, he added:
"It is indeed the same table that Hideaki Hosaka used two years ago."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sonoko and Ran's expressions became somewhat subtle.
"I don't know who played this prank and moved the table to the open space."
