Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 35 Kudo Shinichi
Tokyo, Mikacho, Teidan High School, after school time, Kudo Shinichi and Mori Ran walked out of the school together.

"That, Shinichi! Let's go buy some presents!"

Mao Lilan suggested to Kudo Shinichi with a smile, while Kudo Shinichi beside him looked reluctant.

"How did you come up with the idea to buy gifts at this time?"

"Huh? You haven't been talking about it since the morning. Did someone move into the room next door to your house that was always empty yesterday? So let's buy some gifts and visit now!"

Maurilan said.

"According to etiquette, someone should come to visit me. Is it necessary for us to take the initiative?"

Kudo Shinichi said with some duplicity, but Mao Lilan seemed to see Kudo Shinichi's careful thinking.

"Hey? Didn't you always wonder about the rumors that the house was often haunted, and always wanted to go in and catch the ghosts? Now that someone has moved in, isn't it just what you want?"

Mao Lilan said with some teasing meaning.

"Idiot! No! There must be someone deliberately spreading such things as haunted! It is impossible for ghosts to exist in this world!"

Kudo Shinichi was taken into consideration, but on the surface he still refuted loudly.

"Hey! What are you two whispering about?"

At this time, a high school girl with a headband appeared from behind the two of them, patted their shoulders with both hands and said.

"What! Sonoko! What are you talking about, couples?"

Seeing Suzuki Sonoko appearing behind her, Mao Lilan couldn't help but refute the words she said just now.

When Kudo Shinichi saw Suzuki Sonoko who had just emerged, he showed a helpless expression—the three of them are old friends who have been in the same class since kindergarten, and this is not the first time that such a conversation has taken place.

"By the way, Yuanzi, do you know that a new neighbor has moved in next door to the new family? We are planning to visit!"

Mao Lilan said to Suzuki Sonoko.

"What? Did that boring inventor next door to Kudo's move away?"

Suzuki Sonoko wondered.

"No, it's the other side, the house that no one lived in."

Merlin explained.

"Oh! You mean that big villa? Hasn't anyone lived in it for several years? And it's been widely rumored that the villa is haunted recently. Why, someone actually lived in it?"

Suzuki Sonoko said curiously.

"Yeah, so we're going to buy some gifts and visit the new neighbor, the new family."

Mao Lilan said that although Kudo Shinichi on the side showed reluctance, he still did not object.

"Really? Then I want to go and have a look together."

Suzuki Sonoko agreed with Mao Lilan's proposal.

At the same time, in the villa at No. 2, Mihuacho 20-chome, Gao Yuan looked at the new furniture that had just been arranged in the living room, and couldn't help sitting on a chair to rest.

Although I have obtained this property, there is no other furniture in this villa except for the custom-made cabinets fixed on the wall during renovation!
When I came here yesterday, there was not even a bed here, so I had to sleep another night in a hotel outside.Fortunately, the furniture purchased today was finally delivered.

Just thinking about my 100 million yen remuneration, it seems a little difficult to buy all the furniture of this villa, and even the home appliances have to be bought, there is really nothing here!

But these small things can be done slowly. Today, I have purchased the basic furniture for the living room and bedroom, at least my life is enough--and, now I can legally own a villa in Tokyo, what else is there to be dissatisfied with? Well!

In addition, after I came here yesterday, I finally understood why I felt familiar with this address - next to this villa is the home of Kudo Shinichi, the protagonist in the world of "Detective Conan"!

This is killing two birds with one stone. Originally, I was thinking about how to get in touch with Kudo Shinichi, but now I have become his neighbor. If I want to get in touch, there are many opportunities, not to mention that there is still some time before Kudo Shinichi becomes smaller!

Thinking of meeting the organization in black in the previous promotion challenge mission, Gao Yuan felt chills down his back - this is really meeting members of the organization!If it weren't for the fact that my identity was already done, and I was covered by this windbreaker, I'm afraid I would really be in danger!
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan looked around the villa—speaking of which, has no one lived here for several years?

I came here yesterday just for a quick glance, and went out to buy furniture and stay in a hotel, so I didn't think about it, but now that I have arranged all the furniture, I finally have time to think about this issue.

At that time, lawyer Kaoru Shimada told himself that Mr. Nishikawa signed a regular cleaning contract with the cleaning company after purchasing the villa.But the contract expired three years ago.And Mr. Xichuan had long forgotten the existence of this villa, so he did not renew the contract.It was only when I was discussing the will with lawyer Shimada not long ago that I found out that I still have this villa under my name.

So in theory, from three years ago to the present, during this period of time, no one has come to this villa, let alone cleaned it!But as far as the situation I saw when I came here yesterday, it really doesn't look like no one has been here for three years!
Although many rooms have indeed accumulated a lot of dust, the lobby and living room after the entrance look like they have been cleaned recently.

Could it be that the cleaning company forgot that the contract had expired, and came here later?
Shouldn't we only clean up these few places?What's more, even if the cleaning company didn't find out that the contract had expired back then, it has been three years now, so it doesn't make sense that they haven't found out for three years!

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan took out his newly bought slider phone and dialed the number of Shimada Law Firm.

Soon, Gao Yuan asked what he wanted to ask:
According to Kaoru Shimada, the contract between Mr. Nishikawa and the cleaning company was handled by Shimada’s lawyers during the actual operation—that is, during the cleaning time of the contract, Shimada’s subordinates The lawyer first contacted the cleaning company, and then the lawyer took the key to Tokyo to supervise the work of the cleaning company.After the contract expired, without Mr. Nishikawa's contract renewal, this work naturally did not continue.

In other words, the key has always been held by Shimada Law Firm, and the lawyers handling this matter are all based in Osaka. There is no reason for outsiders to get the key, and the cleaning company has no access to the key.

Then, this matter seems a little weird-obviously, someone must have come into this villa recently!
Thinking like this, suddenly, a doorbell rang Gao Yuan's thoughts.

When I went out, I saw three high school students standing outside the iron gate of the fence.

"Hello, I'm Kudo Shinichi who lives next door!"

The boy standing in the middle, Kudo Shinichi introduced himself like this.
