Chapter 2092 2100 [No Ghost]
Jiang Xia heard the noise, turned around and glanced at Mao Lilan's box, and silently memorized the brand: it's not broken, it looks like it's of good quality, I'll buy a few as backup.
Just as he was thinking about it, Mao Lilan grabbed him with her free hand: "Ghost ghost ghost... there is...!"
Jiang Xia: "No, it's a stone statue."
As he said this, he reached out and flicked the head of the nearest stone statue.
Xun Zhengwan was shocked, and then gloated: "Disrespecting the samurai will be punished by God. Be careful that the ghost of the samurai will crawl into your bed to find you tonight."
Jiang Xia was pinched by Mao Lilan, and felt that his arm was about to break. He blurted out "Thank you" while distracted.
He came to his senses after he finished speaking and changed his words as if nothing had happened: "No, there are no ghosts in the world."
Mao Lilan drew strength from his firm voice and relaxed her grip on his hand a little: "Really?"
Jiang Xia nodded firmly.
The mermaid who was catching up on her sleep on his head was shaken twice. She sat up dazedly and looked around: "?"
…
In any case, with a materialistic detective by her side, Mao Lilan felt much more at ease.
Everyone followed Senda Saruhiko's lantern and soon passed through the two rows of samurai who lined the road to welcome them and entered the village.
After many twists and turns, they arrived in front of a courtyard.
Senda Saruhiko raised the lantern and introduced briefly: "This is the old house of the Xun family. The guest rooms have been arranged. I will take you there."
This courtyard covers a large area, and within the courtyard wall is a magnificent Japanese-style building. At this time, the lights in every room are on, as if welcoming the owner home.
Mrs. Tatsumi and Tatsumi Seimaru went to their own rooms, while Senda Saruhiko led the guests to the guest rooms to put down their luggage.
After that, he did not leave in a hurry, but stayed at the door and politely asked if they needed anything else. The old servant seemed to be much more polite to the guests than to the two masters just now.
Although the guest room of Xun's house is also old, it has been well-repaired and has complete facilities. Suzuki Sonoko originally wanted to make a joke and said "only the signal is missing", but when she took out her cell phone and looked at it, there were still two bars of signal.
Senda Saruhiko glanced at her and said, "The signal here is only bad when it's cloudy and rainy. Normally, it's no different from outside."
He paused, then remembered something: "Before the master passed away, he dismissed many servants. Now we are short of manpower. We will be very busy these few days. While there is still time, I will show you the way first, so that you won't get lost."
Several guests did not refuse. After all, although Senda Saruhiko said "to prevent you from getting lost", everyone could hear that what he really wanted to say was "so that you don't get lost and have to waste manpower looking for you."
So soon, several guests went out again.
Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran were a little scared at first, but since they discovered there was a signal here, they became a little braver.
Jiang Xia also wanted to walk around, so he reminded: "Although it feels like it's very late, if you look at the watch you will find that it's only eight o'clock." - This is not late at night, this is just the beginning of the nightlife.
After hearing this, Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran felt more at ease. After all, "going out at 8 o'clock in the evening" and "going out in the middle of the night" are two completely different feelings, and the former sounds much safer.
Curacao was yawning in the back, and when he heard this, he immediately became alert: What does this mean? What does this person want to do? ? Is something going to happen again tonight?
...Luckily, she came here in a flash of thought. Otherwise, if she continued to stay in the room, a bloody case might have happened in the old house while those high school students were strolling happily, and she would either be attacked or become a suspect.
Senda Saruhiko was unaware of people's messy thoughts.
He took the guests around the Xun family's old house to get acquainted with the route. Afterwards, perhaps because he felt that the guests did not look like honest people and might run around, he simply led the team out through the side door and introduced them along the main road.
After a while, a torii gate appeared on the roadside. Looking along the stone steps, I saw a shrine on the top of the mountain.
In front of the stone steps stands a stone tablet with the name of the shrine written on it - Samurai Shrine.
"...Isn't it true that this place worships samurai, with stone statues and shrines?" Suzuki Sonoko remembered the two rows of scary stone statues when she entered the village.
She looked along the long stairs, and when her eyes fell on the end of the stone steps, she suddenly saw a vague figure there.
Suzuki Sonoko was stunned, her eyes widened with fear: "Ghost——!!"
Jiang Xia looked over immediately and sighed: "It's a person, but he's dressed a little weird."
Hashimoto Maya also squinted his eyes and looked over there. He had recently made up a lot of stage knowledge, so he recognized it at a glance: "Is this the costume of a Kabuki Kuroko?" Why is this person dressed like this? Could he be... Usa's tool? !
Kabuki is a type of drama that originated in the early Edo period, and "Kuroko" is the backstage staff responsible for moving props when the stage changes.
When they go on stage, they will wear black clothes and cover their faces with black cloth, looking completely dark, pretending to be just a shadow. The audience will also pretend not to see them, assuming that these "black people" do not exist.
As if startled by Suzuki Sonoko's scream, "Kuroko", who was looking at the sky at a 45-degree angle, looked down at them, then walked back a few steps and his figure quickly disappeared.
"Was he scared away by me?" Suzuki Sonoko stood up again, "It is indeed a human. Come to think of it, in the middle of summer, wearing a black outfit, isn't he feeling hot?"
Jiang Xia: "Maybe it's the custom of the village."
Mao Lilan huddled between them and shivered: "Yes, or should we go back and go out again tomorrow during the day."
Senda Saruhiko did not force it: "Okay, but I have to work during the day, and there will be a festival in the village. You'd better not wander around without a guide."
"Okay, okay." Mao Lilan thought it was okay without a guide. She didn't want to come to this scary village again. From tomorrow on, she would stay in the old house of Xun family and not leave at all.
So the group returned to the Xun family's big house.
Mrs. Xun came out of the main house and waved at them: "Come and have something to eat. We didn't have time to eat properly on the way."
…
The servants prepared some food, and while everyone was eating, the door was pushed open. A middle-aged man in a suit and glasses was led over by Senda Saruhiko.
Mrs. Xun saw him, got up and left, and the two of them went to the next room.
Suzuki Sonoko's eyes began to sparkle with gossip: "Who is that?"
Tatsumi Seimaru: "Fuyuki Rintaro, the only doctor in our village. Ever since my mother received that threatening letter, she has always felt unwell, so she often asks him to come over for a checkup."
