Jiang Xia walked into the "haunted house".

Dark clouds were gathering outside, and the room was very dark. It was almost impossible to see anything without turning on the flashlight.

Jiang Xia borrowed Guitai's night vision ability and walked silently along the dark corridor.

 …

Soon, he found a piece of floor that had been lifted up on the ground at the end of the corridor.

This seems to be the entrance to a secret passage. There is a flight of steps leading down.

Jiang Xia moved closer with curiosity, observed for a moment, and vaguely smelled murderous aura from the passage.

“…” He nodded with satisfaction and walked in.

 …

 Follow the steps and go all the way down to the bottom.

 At the end of the tunnel, a lighted basement appeared.

Jiang Xia remembered that this was the place where the filial son who killed his father failed to surrender and was imprisoned by his mother.

 At this time, the basement door is open.

Conan's reasoning voice came faintly from inside.

 …

Jiang Xia calmly walked to the door and took a look inside.

In the center of the room, a row of iron railings separated a cell.

The son of the owner of the house was sitting in the cell with unkempt hair and an old shikigami on his lap. It was probably made by his father.

 Outside the railing, there were three people in total.

—Conan, his female classmate Ayumi Yoshida. And a woman with gray hair and a very thin figure.

 …

Jiang Xia glanced around and quickly fell on the woman with her back to him: "..."

The silver-white waist-length hair made Jiang Xia move her fingers slightly, reflexively wanting to grab something.

However, if you calm down for a moment, you can find that the murderous aura in the woman is very weak. It can only be classified as "can satisfy hunger", and it is not even as fresh as the murderous aura of the kidnapper last time.

 The ghost baby looked at the white-haired woman in front of him, and after being startled for a moment, he became slightly disappointed.

However, it is not as picky as Jiangxia. If you eat it with murderous intent, you will be very satisfied. So I still jumped down to the ground with great enthusiasm, ready to pick it up.

 …

 A few meters away, in the basement.

The white-haired woman was holding a knife and staring at Conan and Ayumi who were blocked by her in the corner, feeling extremely emotional.

She turned her back to the door and didn't notice that there was another Jiang Xia there.

 Conan did see it.

His reasoning voice paused for a moment, then quickly continued as if nothing had happened.

It’s just that this fake primary school student obviously didn’t control his emotions well.

 When I spoke, my energy was much stronger than before.

 Fortunately, the white-haired old woman was not in a good mental state and did not notice Conan's abnormality.

Ayumi hid next to Conan and looked at Jiang Xia timidly, also making no sound.

I don’t know whether he became resourceful in the crisis or was too frightened to make a sound.

Of course, it may also be the common misconception of Yan Gou - the big brother at the door does not look like a bad person.

Conan is obviously the kind of detective who, once his reasoning is over, will finish his reasoning before he dies, even if it costs him his life.

 Actually, at first, the white-haired old lady didn’t want to kill anyone.

  Genta and Mitsuhiko, who were lying in the yard, were only stunned by her.

 Because she thought that even if these first-grade children reported the crime, the police would not pay attention.

 But now, Conan is different.

—Conan not only saw the people in the dungeon, he even guessed that his son was the murderer.

　　"There is a homeless man hiding in a haunted house" is completely different from "There is a wandering murderer hiding in a haunted house".

 If it’s the latter, the police may come even if the person reporting the crime is a child.

 …

 So at this time, the white-haired woman listened to Conan's reasoning, and felt some real murderous intent in her body.

 When Conan said, "The one who killed your husband was actually your son," the old woman finally broke out.

"Shut up!" She grabbed Conan's neck and raised the kitchen knife with a ferocious expression.

Ayumi screamed and covered her eyes in fear.

Conan was also confused: "..."...Wait a minute?

　　Why is the script different from what he thought?

 —He clearly saw Jiang Xia just now!

Shouldn't the normal situation be like this: Jiang Xia deduces the truth by himself, Jiang Xia simultaneously controls the old woman, and finally the two of them smile at each other in tacit understanding, and take out their mobile phones to call the police while hiding their merits and reputations.

 …but now, where are the Jiangxia people?

Conan struggled to look back, but the old woman blocked his entire view. The angry white-haired woman roared and suddenly raised the knife. Chopping down hard.

 When the tip of the knife was only a few inches away from Conan, someone finally grabbed her wrist from behind.

Jiang Xia took the kitchen knife away from the white-haired woman and pressed her shoulder hard.

 The woman screamed in pain, half of her body was numb, and she collapsed on the ground.

What sounded together with her screams was the faint sound of police sirens outside the house.

 —Jiang Xia called the police before coming in.

“…” Jiang Xia Xun Sheng glanced outside: He was really accurate in his steps. He is worthy of being the policeman of this world.

He threw the kitchen knife he had taken away into the corner, and suddenly found a mop at his feet, so he picked it up.

—Although the tunnel door is open, it will definitely take some time for the police to find the entrance.

Before the police arrive, seize the time to loosen the murderous spirit.

—Conan’s ability to attract hatred should not be underestimated. The more the fake kid reasoned, the more murderous the white-haired woman became... The amount of murderous intent now far exceeded when Jiang Xia first came in.

Jiang Xia looked at the man with murderous intent and raised the pole in anticipation.

At this time, the white-haired woman sitting on the ground covered her shoulders, turned around, and looked at Jiang Xia with a look of reluctance.

 The two of them looked at each other.

 The next second, the murderous aura wrapped around the old lady's body fell to the ground consciously.

 …probably weighed the strength of both sides, and then quickly realized that she could not continue killing. So I can only give up the idea of ​​killing people.

 The ghost baby, who had been waiting nearby for a long time, couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

It trotted over and rolled the fallen murderous aura into a fluffy ball like rolling marshmallows, then brought it back and showed it to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia squatted down, took out the cigarette box containing the ghost mint, tore open the sealed package, and let the murderous spirit in.
