Chapter 2511 2523 [This script is wrong]
The next moment, as if he heard her inner muttering, the second son of the Ogata family suddenly remembered something and looked around: "Speaking of figures, why can't I see my brother? The scream just now was so scary, he should have heard it too."
Mr. Ogata thought of his own difficult eldest son: "Who knows, maybe he doesn't want to come."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden clanging sound - something heavy fell to the ground in the distant room, and the noise could be heard even through the layers of paper door.
Mao Lilan was startled and shrank back between two classmates. "Where did the sound come from?"
Mr. Ogata identified the direction and said, "Over there! It should be coming from the room where my mother used to play the guzheng."
Jiang Xia walked past them into the corridor: "I'll go over and take a look."
As soon as he left, the house owners couldn't just stand there and watch, so they hurried to follow. As there were fewer people, the girls also became scared. They looked at each other for a moment, then quickly stood up and followed behind.
Curacao: “…”
She was silent for a moment, put aside her pride as an organizational cadre, and blended smoothly into the group of several weak girls.
…
When they arrived at the place, they opened the paper door with a rustle. Jiang Xia took a quick look and saw a figure in the darkness.
——The poisonous eldest son of the Ogata family was lying on the ground with a heavy guqin on his body. One corner of the guqin was stained with blood and the strings were broken. It looked like it had fallen from a great height and hit him on the head.
"... Xiao Minoru?!" Mr. Ogata looked past Jiangxia and saw his son in the house. He was immediately shocked. The second son of the Ogata family was also startled, "How could this happen!"
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko stopped at the door, looking at the bloody scene in fear. But despite their fear, they did not stop moving their hands - they took out their phones at the same time, looked at each other, and pressed the numbers in tacit understanding.
However, before dialing the number, suddenly, a sharp "ding ding" sound broke the silence.
The two high school girls were startled at the same time, and looked in the direction of the sound, and found that it was Yuuki Haruna's pager that was ringing.
"Why did the news come at this time..." Yuuki Haruna was stunned and took out her pager to take a look.
When she saw the words clearly, her hands trembled and she let out a terrified scream.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xia walked up to her, took the pager and took a look. He saw a line of cold words on it:
[I'm waiting for you, Haruna.]
This ordinary sentence, placed in the current situation, seemed particularly frightening. Even Mao Lilan, who was not involved in the incident, was shocked to the point of trembling pupils.
The active-minded high school girl obviously had her own associations. For a moment, Mao Lilan felt that she had never been so clear-headed: "I, I understand, I understand everything! The message in your pager, the paper bag that suddenly appeared at your feet, and the figure that just passed by the door... In fact, they were all caused by the deceased Mr. Shuwu! He missed his wife 'Haruna' very much, so he tried every means to lure Miss Haruna here."
Suzuki Sonoko patted her comfortingly, with a helpless look on her face: "Hasn't Jiang Xia said many times that there are no ghosts in the world - although I haven't figured anything out yet, I know this must be a man-made trick. Don't think too much about it, just wait a little longer, Jiang Xia will definitely find out the real culprit behind the scenes!"
The two were chatting when they suddenly noticed that the "lawyer lady" was startled and dodged to the side. If the kind-hearted detective hadn't quickly helped her, her head would have hit the door frame.
...But even after helping her, she still bumped into him, because the frightened female lawyer bounced back in the opposite direction like a spring the moment Jiang Xia touched her.
"...Ms. Shirai?" The quiet and low-key lawyer rarely lost her composure like this. Even Mao Lilan forgot to be afraid for a moment and turned her attention to Curacao, "Are you okay?"
Curacao pressed his dizzy head and said, "...It's okay."
The two female high school students looked at each other, somewhat puzzled as to why she was frightened, but soon they found out—the corpse that was pinned down by the guqin moved, turned around, and crawled up from the ground.
“?!!” Even Suzuki Sonoko was frightened this time. Her scalp was numb. “He’s faking it! He’s faking it!”
"Why are you pretending to be dead? I'm not dead yet." The eldest son of the Ogata family held his bleeding head and sat on the ground weakly. "You guys are cursing me one by one. You guys are hoping that I will die, right?"
Mr. Ogata was also shocked: "You, you are okay."
The second son of the Ogata family asked curiously, "Brother, how did you fall in a place like this?"
"How would I know?" said Brother Ogata angrily, "I was standing in the room and suddenly something knocked me unconscious."
He looked around and soon found the culprit lying on the ground: "It's all because of this broken piano!"
"What a broken piano! This is Dad's treasure!" Ogata's younger brother frowned. "By the way, you fell in the middle of the room. How could this piano hit you?"
"Hmph, we'll have to ask that woman about this." Brother Ogata touched his smashed glasses and put them back on. He glared at Yuuki Haruna at the door, "She must have knocked me out!"
Jiang Xia looked at him with a little regret: "When the falling noise came from your side, everyone else was gathered together, including Miss Haruna."
"That's right!" Suzuki Sonoko also felt that this venomous eldest son was slandering her. She pointed at the bloody forehead of her brother Ogata and said, "Besides, you fell in the middle of the room. There were no cabinets or anything around. This means that the guqin didn't fall and hit you, but someone swung it and hit you - and your wound is on your forehead. Since it was a frontal attack, you should have seen the face of the criminal."
Brother Ogata's temper faltered, and he lowered his voice a little: "It's so dark in the room, how can I see who is in front of me?"
Jiang Xia: "You sneaked into this room alone in the middle of the night without turning on the lights... So what are you doing here?"
Brother Ogata felt even more guilty, and stammered loudly, "…This is my home, I, I can do whatever I want, what's wrong with not turning on the lights to save electricity!"
"That..." Beside her, Yuuki Haruna finally came back to her senses from her shock. She carefully held the pager with her fingertips and looked at Jiang Xia for help. "I just received a message here. He, he said he has been waiting for me, and there was also that ghost figure just now..."
She began to wonder if she had chosen the wrong field: the dark shadows passing by in the middle of the night, the spooky house - perhaps what was needed here was a professional psychic medium rather than a detective. But a psychic medium with real skills was more expensive than a detective...
