Chapter 357 Why are apples red and blue?
Ran Mouri's face turned pale instantly, and she abruptly pulled her outstretched hand back.
Although she couldn't touch his body, the icy chill clinging to her hands felt incredibly real.
She shuddered, and a bad thought popped into her head.
This...could it be...a ghost?!
Just then, the figure in front of her suddenly trembled, and a smile appeared on his pale face.
"ah--!"
This eerie feeling made Ran Mouri scream again.
The coolness clinging to her skin made her stiffen, and she took a difficult step backward. Fear filled her pale face, and her mind went blank.
But she suddenly stopped after she finished doing these actions.
She saw a helpless, bitter smile appear on the figure's face. After shaking his head slightly and giving her one last lingering look, the figure turned and left, slowly disappearing from sight.
Ran Mouri's eyes widened as she suddenly recalled what Conan had told her at the observation restaurant.
"I'll come back even if it costs me my life."
She covered her mouth in disbelief, tears welling in her eyes, "Shin...Shinichi—!"
Ran Mouri's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, her mind replaying the events surrounding Shinichi Kudo, completely forgetting her own current predicament.
In a room where everyone could be monitored, Bertrand looked at Ran Mouri's screen, shrugging and spreading his hands in a seemingly regretful but actually happy manner, "Oh, I was passed over."
Qianzhu glanced at Ran Mouri on the screen, then turned her head slightly to look at the next victim.
At this moment, Hakuba Saguru is flipping through a small diary.
The diary above reads—
Why are apples red and green? Is it because of uneven light exposure?
"Oh my god, I saw a rock shaped like mentaiko today, so I guess I'll eat mentaiko today."
"Damn bird! It's pooping on my fountain again!"
Hakuba Saguru: "..."
What are these things I've written down...?
The contents of the diary seemed quite mundane, but as a detective, he firmly believed that crucial clues to solving cases were often hidden in ordinary things!
So he patiently continued reading.
"That idiot, Madam! Natto tastes best with scallions! Although adding egg is also good."
"I had a great idea while I was in the bathroom today: how about curry with soy sauce?"
After reading through all the contents of the notebook, Bai Ma's forehead was filled with a small mess of confusion. Fortunately, the owner of the diary had not recorded much.
But these disparate things made it difficult for him to connect them all at once.
He had to temporarily put aside his diary and think about other clues first.
For example, there are three paintings hanging on the wall, all depicting the same person, but the direction their hands are pointing is different.
The first picture points directly upwards, the second points directly to the right, and the third points to the upper left.
But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that his eyes are looking in the opposite direction to his fingers.
Hands and eyes?
Hakuba Saguru thought for a moment, then turned to look at the opposite wall.
On the wall with its retro and intricate patterns, there are faintly discernible patterns resembling a hand and an eye.
He stepped forward and fumbled around on the two patterns, finally finding a place where he could press.
He then pressed it, and the mechanism on the wall moved, revealing what appeared to be a safe door.
Hakuba Saguru rotates the two password buttons on top according to the direction of his hand and eyes.
