Chapter 91 Curse of the Rose

Chapter 91 Curse of the Rose

Chapter 91 Curse of the Rose

When Megure Jusan heard this, he naturally felt a little strange.

"Why do you ask this, Ms. Xuejiang?"

"actually."

After hesitating for a moment, Xuejiang narrated what he had seen.

At about 1 o'clock, when she was on the terrace, she saw someone pushing a wheelchair towards the greenhouse and thought it was her father pushing her mother for a walk.

Gao Mu immediately understood something, "In other words, the murderer was using a wheelchair to carry the body?"

"So, where was the wheelchair at that time?"

Megure Juzo looked at Sawada and asked.

"Right next to my bed. But if someone had moved the wheelchair, I would have noticed it."

"And there is only one wheelchair in this house. Unless..."

Sha Yu was shocked, "Could it be Ayako?"

If it was a ghost, it could indeed be so silent.

Then, Megure Juzo and Takagi visited the bar where Shumei used to work.

The proprietress is Sheng Yong Youxiang, a slightly plump woman.

The heavy makeup on her face made her look a little more delicate.

"Shumei?"

Sheng Yongyouxiang smiled and said, "She is very popular. Look at the things on the cabinet. They are all gifts given to her by different guests."

There are also photos of Shumei on the cabinet.

Holding a bouquet of roses, smiling sweetly.

"Don't look at me like this now. I used to be a cover star."

As she spoke, Sheng Yong Youxiang lifted her hair narcissistically.

Takagi smiled awkwardly: I can’t tell at all, okay?
Megure Jusan coughed lightly, "Do you remember if Miss Shumei has any special guests?"

"About three years ago. She fell in love with a married man and was willing to do anything for him."

"Unfortunately, he dumped her in the end. But after that, Shumei met Yoshio and slowly came out of her depression."

After leaving the pub, I visited a nearby drugstore and got eyewitness testimony from a pharmacist who had seen Shumei yesterday.

"When she walked to the door of the store, she suddenly started laughing for no apparent reason. It was as if she was possessed by something."

Megure Jusan and Takagi looked at each other.

The meaning is self-evident: Is this really a curse?

The woods near Jicheng's house were shrouded in fog.

Fortunately, it was not too late, otherwise it would have felt like I had accidentally entered a terrifying forest.

"I feel like that cookie must be cursed."

Yuantai touched his belly and bent slightly.

At this moment, the group suddenly stopped.

"Conan, did you hear any noise in the warehouse over there?"

Ayumi grabbed the corner of his clothes with some fear, followed carefully behind him, and looked around.

"If you want to know what it is, just go in and take a look."

Having said that, Huibara Ai walked over and prepared to push the door open.

But at this moment, someone stopped her hand.

Mitsuhiko swallowed his saliva and advised kindly: "There is no one in there, but there was a sudden sound. There must be a demon that eats children in there."

Along the way, Qinghai Chuantang told them the legend of "clay rice".

So they believed it without a doubt and thought that this place might also be full of malice towards children.

Otherwise, why is there not a single child in such a big house?

It must have been eaten.

Haibara Ai turned her head to look at Qing Hai Chuantang behind her, only to see the other party spreading his hands as if saying "it has nothing to do with me".

"There are no ghosts in this world."

Obviously, Haibara Ai is a realist who believes in science.

Just as she pushed the door open, a black figure suddenly jumped out.

"Just now, that thing seemed to be a black cat, right?"

Mitsuhiko was startled and remembered the story he had heard before.

"Could it be that the black cat was the one that Ayako killed?"

Mitsuhiko was deeply suspicious of this world. "Curse, curse, ghosts really exist."

Ayumi became even more frightened: "If we continue like this, will we all be cursed?"

"This is not a supernatural event at all. It's just a murder case caused by humans."

Conan walked over and touched the chair. There was still some residual warmth in the concave area.

He smiled and looked at everyone, pointing and saying: "Look, if it was a ghost, how could it still leave temperature and depression?"

The fear on Ayumi's face faded a lot.

"In that case, the murderer actually wanted to use that rumor to disrupt the police's attention?"

"How can it be!"

Conan looked at Huihara Ai and said, "You are just overthinking it."

"There are so many flowers in the greenhouse, but the murderer chose roses. It's not because of their meaning, but because he wanted to use roses to cover up something."

Think about it carefully, what does the rose have?

Yes, its thorns.

"Although the roses people buy on the market have no thorns, that's only because the merchants have cut off the thorns, otherwise they would hurt people."

"And some things just happen to be related to the supernatural. If you want to explain it, it can be explained."

For example, the reason why Shumei laughed at the door of the drugstore was actually because of the poster pasted on the glass door.

If it's just ordinary, it doesn't matter.

But it was written in the lower right corner that the girl wearing a cockroach costume and playing the role of a cockroach on the poster was the proprietress of the pub.

And that black cat was actually raised by Shumei.

What Yuantai ate was not ordinary biscuits, but cat food.

A drugstore is actually like a grocery store, so it is normal for it to sell cat food.

So Shumei went there just to buy cat food.

In this way, Yuantai’s abdominal pain problem can also be well explained.

"But if Sister Shumei has a cat, why didn't the family notice it for so long?"

Ayumi tilted her head with a puzzled expression, which looked somewhat cute.

"She's always been sneaky because someone is allergic to cats."

Haibara Ai clasped her hands together and leaned against the wall behind her.

Thinking back carefully, Yashou once said that he would cough, have a headache and feel unwell whenever he got close to the villa.

It turns out that it wasn't caused by a curse.

Because these are all symptoms of being allergic to cats.

"Then all these questions can indeed be explained. But what exactly did the murderer want to conceal by using roses?"

Mitsuhiko stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, he clapped his hands and revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "I know! The murderer must have been scratched by a cat, and then deliberately placed the body in the rose bushes."

"That way, when we move the body, if my hand is scratched by the thorns, others won't be suspicious."

Conan nodded and smiled, "Yes, that's right."

Therefore, the murderer must be among those three.

"Mr. Guanjia, Mr. Yashou, and Mr. Haofu. So who among these three is the murderer?"

"Actually, for this, we can just use the process of elimination."

As he spoke, Qinghai Chuantang took out a pen and a notebook and wrote down the names of the three people.

"First, Mr. Keiji. Do you think he is the murderer?"

"I think it shouldn't be."

Ayumi smiled and explained, "After all, I took care of those roses carefully myself."

"If you put something on them and crush them, you will definitely feel sad. After all, people who love flowers will definitely not bear to see them being destroyed!"

Although this is also a reason, the real reason is because I often take care of roses.

After all, in that case, even if there are scars, they won't be particularly noticeable.

The only ones left were Yashou and Haofu.

But before using the process of elimination, Qinghai Chuantang asked them a question: Did the murderer really use a wheelchair to move the body?
"Eh?"

The three children blinked, "Isn't it?"

Conan smiled and pointed to the warehouse.

"The things piled in there are all baby supplies. They must have been used by the siblings when they were very young."

"Among these baby products, there is one that also has wheels and can be used as a transport tool."

"Plus, it was dark at night, and Ms. Xuejiang was used to seeing wheelchairs. So it was natural that she mistook the stroller for a wheelchair."

Since Yashou and Haofu have been in this house for a long time, they naturally know this warehouse and what is stored in it.

The remaining two choices become much simpler.

What's more, they have crucial evidence.

"As for who the murderer is? Just ask the murderer himself and you'll know, right?"

The sky gradually darkened, appearing somewhat hazy and mysterious.

Everyone stayed in the house, waiting for the other party to announce who the real murderer was.

Qinghai Chuantang glanced at Conan secretly and signaled with his eyes: Why do you want me to come?
Can I, a child, come here?

Conan responded in the same way.

"Three years ago, even though you were married, you were dating Miss Shumei, right?"

As he spoke, Qinghai Chuantang looked at Haofu.

"What evidence do you have?"

"Because, Corolla."

"what?"

Qinghai Chuantang explained: "Corolla is a variety of roses, and it is also very precious. Mr. Yashou mentioned before that you picked a rose."

"It was three years ago, I think, wasn't it?"

Sha Yu nodded and asked curiously, "But how did you know?"

She remembered that she just mentioned it briefly at that time, right?

"In the bar where Miss Shumei works, there is a photo of her holding a rose."

"You know, roses are different from each other, just like there are no two eggs in the world that are exactly the same."

Megure Jusan nodded and looked at Hiroo.

"So, the murderer is indeed Mr. Haofu?"

Haofu said nothing and chose to agree.

"Brother-in-law, why? Explain it to me clearly!"

Yixiong wanted to rush forward and grab the man by the collar, but was stopped in time.

"After all, she was the woman I had abandoned. When I saw her coming here, I thought she was here to seek revenge on me."

"Because you are suspicious, in order to prevent yourself from being killed for unknown reasons, don't think about taking the initiative."

"But these are all your misunderstandings. Miss Shumei came here only because she simply loves Mr. Yoshio."

"So what you care about is just your own imagination. She doesn't have that idea at all."

Haofu's eyes dodged for a moment, and he said in a somewhat bewildered manner: "I, I didn't know at the time, I really didn't know."

"you!"

Yixiong rushed forward and grabbed his collar, but finally let go.

He lowered his head and his hands hung limply.

The tragedy has already happened. Even if we teach this man a lesson, what can be saved?

Yashou pushed Shayu forward for a distance, and it was obvious that she seemed to have something to say.

Sha Yu looked at Hao Fu and said coldly: "Neither we nor Rose will choose to forgive you."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the lights in the room went out.

Everyone looked at the situation in front of them, some of them not understanding what was happening.

At this moment, Haofu suddenly saw a woman standing outside the window, smiling at him with some ill intentions.

He was so scared that he fell to the ground.

The lights came on again, and the woman had disappeared.

It seemed as if what I had just seen was just an illusion.

After leaving, everyone felt a sense of shock.

"You all saw it just now, right?"

"That, that woman... No, it's a female ghost. She should be the legendary 'Miss Ayako', right?"

Seeing the scared looks on the faces of the children, Conan smiled and comforted them: "There is no way there are ghosts in this world! It must be a prank by Sister Xiaotang, right?"

After saying this, Conan looked at her, as if hoping that she would cooperate with him.

However, Qinghai Chuantang's body stiffened for a moment.

She stood there, turned her head somewhat mechanically, and looked at Conan.

"That was not arranged by me. Besides, I have been with you all the time."

"what--"

Ayumi couldn't help but scream, a look of horror on her face.

"So, what we just saw was really Miss Ayako's?"

"Maybe."

Qinghai Chuantang sighed, "After all, Miss Ayako, who loves roses so much, will definitely have the urge to kill someone if she sees someone wantonly trampling on her roses."

"Maybe in the end, the curse will fall on Mr. Hoff."

“Ghost, ghost—”

The three children didn't know what they suddenly saw and they all ran away.

"Habara, are you playing a prank?"

But Huibara was standing next to him.

"Sister Xiaotang, could it be you?"

But the other person was standing right in front of him.

Conan was shocked. Could it be that there really are ghosts in this world?
He slowly turned his head and saw a figure standing behind him with anger written all over his face.

Because of the backlight, it does look a bit scary.

What's more, it appeared so quietly.

"S-Sister Xiaolan!"

Conan was stunned at first, but soon put on a flattering smile.

Cautiously, he asked, "Sister Xiaolan, why are you here?"

"Really Conan!"

Xiaolan bent down and stared at him, and said very dissatisfiedly: "After going out early this morning, you haven't come back since then. I called you several times but you didn't answer. I was very worried about you."

"If I hadn't asked Sister Xiaotang and told her I knew where you were, I wouldn't have been able to find you."

When Conan heard this, he quickly took out his cell phone, only to see that the call log showed seventeen missed calls.

With a wry smile, he put the phone back into his pocket, thinking about how to calm the other party's anger.

"Sister Xiaolan, please listen to my excuse!"
