Conan's Unscientific Detective

"Ugh?!"

Haruna was surprised for a moment, then said dejectedly, "But I don't have any intention of wanting those stamps... I've already explained it."

"This is 200 million yen. Some people would kill for this kind of money."

Fujino glanced at Haruna and felt that this college student was too naive. "Even if you don't have any idea about the 200 million yen, they won't believe that you don't have any idea about the 200 million yen..."

"Excuse me, what happened?!"

Before he could finish his words, Ogata Shiro came running over, followed by Ogata Kazuko and Ogata Tsuneo.

"nothing……"

Fujino glanced at the few people and didn't see Ogata Minoru. "Someone put black paper on the glass and scared Miss Haruna just now."

"Who on earth is playing such a stupid prank..."

Ogata Shiro took the black paper and took a look at it, then suddenly remembered something, "Could it be that my brother did it?"

"If you think about it carefully, you two brothers have been scared by this kind of thing before... But Ren wouldn't make such a cheap joke.

Ogata Kazuko seemed a little dazed. She walked towards the sliding door on the other side of the room and opened it. "It seems that someone who lives here has said that they encountered similar things before. Could it be that children from other families nearby broke in and played a prank?"

"That may be the case..."

Ogata Tsuneo also looked a little strange.

"Boom!"

At this moment, there was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

What followed was the sound of a guitar string breaking.

Chapter 285 It's a pity that the person is not dead

"Ding! New detective professional tasks detected, please check!"

Upon hearing this, Fujino turned his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

Is the person really gone?

This place called Mihua is really weird.

Fujino looked at the light screen that suddenly appeared in front of him:

[Detective Career Mission: Mysterious Accommodation

Mission Objective: Solve the mystery of the Ogata family

Mission Reward: 50 yen, 50 detective reputation]

“Only 500,000…?”

Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly, "The reward for this mission is a bit small... Could it be that the person is not completely dead?"

"That direction...could it be from the room where my mother kept her guqin when she was alive?"

Ogata Tsuneo turned his head and, based on the sound of the broken strings, he immediately figured out the direction the sound came from.

……

Several people came to the door of the room.

The sliding door of the room was opened, and in the dim room, a figure was knocked to the ground by a xylophone, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

Fujino watched the remaining vital signs in front of him with eagle eyes, looking as if he had expected it.

Just as he thought, the person was not dead yet.

Pity.

"Amin!"

The people of the Ogata family recognized the figure at a glance. It was the same Ogata Minoru from before.

Seeing their family members lying on the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive, everyone looked horrified.

"How are you, A-min?"

Ogata Tsuneo hurried forward to check the situation, looking a little worried.

"What happened?"

At this time, Ogata Kazuko, who had been doing something unknown, also came over and looked into the room in confusion.

"Brother, he was hit by the xylophone!"

Ogata Shiro explained hastily.

"what?!"

Ogata Kazuko screamed in surprise, covered her mouth, her face turned pale, and she was unable to speak for a while.

"Drip drip!"

At this moment, the pager in Haruna's pocket suddenly rang.

The sharp sound was particularly harsh in the silent room, and combined with the sound of rain outside, it gave an eerie feeling.

"what--!"

Haruna glanced at the content on the pager and immediately let out a scream.

"Ok?"

Fujino turned his head and looked at Haruna in confusion.

This reaction is really too slow, isn't it?

Shouldn't you have shouted it out just now?

"This...this is..."

Haruna swallowed her saliva and stared at the screen of the pager, looking unbelieving, "A message from Mr. Qiu Wu!"

"A message from Mr. Qiu Wu?"

Fujino walked over to take a look, and saw a message on the pager: [Haruna, I've been waiting for you for a long time.]

Obviously, this text message was definitely not sent by someone who had been dead for such a long time.

Fujino felt that it was most likely a prank like the previous one.

"Another prank?"

Fujino glanced back at Ogata Kazuko and already had an idea in his mind.

Although it is not certain yet, this woman should be the only one who has time to send text messages.

Pagers can actually communicate with mobile phones. It is not impossible that she sent this text message using her mobile phone while everyone was checking the situation.

But this guy who got hit by the xylophone...

Retracting his thoughts, Fujino slowly walked towards Ogata Minoru and said, "Hey, you should not be dead yet, right?"

"Um...of course I'm not dead yet."

Ogata Minoru seemed to be awakened by the scream just now. He sat up and complained.

"What happened bro?"

At this time, Ogata Shiro on the side couldn't help but ask him.

"How would I know..."

He struggled to get up from the floor, holding his still bleeding forehead, and gritted his teeth in pain. "I don't know what it was that knocked me unconscious just now."

"Aren, could it be this guqin that knocked you unconscious just now?"

Ogata Tsuneo looked at the guqin beside him and guessed.

"probably……"

Ogata Minoru glanced at Guqin, then looked at Fujino, his eyes full of doubt: "The one who hit me with a hard object just now, could it be you two?"

Fujino: "..."

It’s a pity that this man was not crushed to death.

"no!"

Haruna explained after hearing this: "Fujino was in my room because of the prank played by the shadow, and then everyone came here."

"Yes."

Everyone present nodded.

Ogata Minoru covered his aching head and said, "Who else could it be except you guys..."

"Didn't you see who hit you?"

Fujino asked him in a deep voice: "After all, judging from your wound, the other party should have attacked you from the front. Logically speaking, you should have seen his appearance..."

"The room was so dark, how could I see clearly?"

Ogata Minoru complained bitterly, "I heard some noise and turned around to look, and then I was hit."

"Didn't you see anything clearly?"

Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly, "If you didn't see it, why can you be sure it was us?"

"Who else would attack me besides your family?"

Ogata Minoru did give a reasonable guess, which showed that he was self-aware.

"Well, that makes sense. If I wanted to knock you out, I would probably do the same...but my method would definitely be better." Fujino pursed his chin.

Ogata Minoru: “…”

Everyone present: "..."

So you often do this kind of thing to knock people?

From what you said, it seems that you are quite dissatisfied with that person's method?

After a brief silence, Ogata Kazuko suddenly spoke up: "Since both of them have alibis, could it be that someone sneaked into our house and knocked Minoru unconscious?!"

"Is he a thief?"

"possible."

"After all, someone was playing that kind of prank just now..."

Everyone agreed with Kazuko Ogata's proposal.

Only Fujino felt something was wrong.

Because from beginning to end, he didn't catch any other people's eyes.

There is only this family in this house.

And from his point of view, these actions are more like intimidation than murder...

The target of the intimidation was Haruna.

As for Ogata Minoru not sleeping at night and running into this room to commit suicide...

Fujino felt that it might be related to stamps.

According to his guess, Ogata Minoru's purpose of running over in the dark was probably to take the guqin for himself.

After all, Haruna Ogata's favorite song to play on the guqin during her lifetime was "Spring is Coming".

Considering the music on the music box, he probably thought the stamp was on the guqin.

As for who the mastermind was, Fujino couldn't tell.

Judging from the way he knocked people, the other party had no soul at all. The technique was too crude. There was no artistry or beauty in the knocking, and he didn't even have a soul.

It's more like smashing than knocking...

It should be a mechanism made with some technique, which lifts the guqin into the air and then brings it down.

As for the ritual music...the broken strings should have been caused by that mechanism.
