A Sorcerer in the Detective World

Chapter 537: Maybe Eriko went home?

"Hey, Soul Exterminator, what's going on here?"

In front of the utility room, Hui Yuan Ai turned to look at Shu Yunwen, with a slightly indifferent and curious expression on his young face.

Shu Yunwen smiled slightly, squinted his eyes, and replied: "...It's nothing, it's just that the yin and ghost energy here is relatively strong, and it feels like some ghost has just come..."

"Have ghosts been here?" Haiyuan Ai was a little confused and blinked.

Shu Yunwen replied: "...That's right. The situation here is obviously the kind of place where ghosts often 'visit'. However, I just asked Chengshi and your sister to search the area, but they didn't find any Traces left by ghosts. In addition, I also observed the house next door in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. Everything seemed normal in their house..."

"...In other words, there is a ghost who is not weak and only 'visits' Eriko Kumoichi's house. Moreover, that ghost should still retain its sanity!"

Ghosts without consciousness are just lonely ghosts with only instincts left. They will never "visit" a certain household frequently!

A ghost retains its sanity, and it only comes to the home of Eriko Yunichi, so its identity must be related to the Yun family, and it may even be Eriko Yunichi herself!

After Shu Yunwen finished speaking, Haihara Ai also vaguely understood the meaning of Shu Yunwen's words: "...don't you mean to say that after Yun Yi Eriko's death, her soul will still be there?"

"It's very possible!" Shu Yunwen nodded, then looked down at Huiyuan and lamented, "...Huiyuan, if we continue to search here, we may not gain anything. How about we go and try to search together? What about the ghost of Eriko Unichi? If the ghost of Eriko Unichi really exists, it would definitely be better for us to ask her for her password than to search blindly here..."

Hui Yuarai turned around and looked at the pile of things in the utility room, then nodded:

"Okay, just do as you say! But, do you know where the ghost of Eriko Yunichi is now?"

It's really difficult to find clues to the password from this mess. In this case, it is better to try Shu Yunwen's method.

Shu Yunwen raised his hand and looked at his watch, with a smile on his lips: "...it's not dark yet, and the safest place for a ghost is in her own grave!"

In the afternoon, 6:05.

Takagi Wataru drove the police car and slowly parked near Eriko Yunichi's house.

Conan, Hattori, and Nanatsuki Koshizu got out of the car together and walked to the door of Eriko's house. After seeing a black car not far away, their eyelids twitched:

"Hey, the license plate number of that car seems to be..."

"...It's his office's car, right?"

"Why is that car here?"

Conan, Hattori, and Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at each other, and then looked at the door of Eriko's house together, and suddenly there was a very ominous premonition in their hearts——

By the way, that guy who said "something happened suddenly" couldn't have been one step ahead of them and come here again, right?

Several people were thinking in their hearts when they suddenly heard the entrance to Eriko's house open with a creak, and then Shu Yunwen and Haihara Ai walked out together. When they saw them, they said "Ah!" and asked with a strange look on their face: "...Strange, why are you here?"

"Huh?!" Conan, Hattori, and Koshimi Nanatsuki twitched the corners of their mouths twice, and there were black lines on their foreheads——

Damn it! This is our line, okay? ! Why are you here? !

Conan and the others complained in their hearts, while Hattori Heiji smiled dryly and asked: "...Yunwen-san, I don't know how you found this place...but you should have come here to find the roster, right?"

"Roster? What roster?" Shu Yunwen was confused, then raised his hand to look at his watch and said, "...Are you here to investigate the case? Sorry, I'm in a hurry now, so I'll leave first. Okay, let’s talk when we have time..."

"Haiyuan, let's go!"

"oh."

Loli Ai responded and followed Shu Yunwen. After walking a few steps, she suddenly heard Hatano Emi whisper: "...it's impossible for the two of them to have the key to Eriko's house, right? How did they get in?"

"...Huh?" Shu Yunwen turned to look at Hatano Emi and asked curiously, "Do you know Ms. Eriko?"

"Of course we do, Eriko and I are friends." Hatano Emi replied.

Shu Yunwen's eyes lit up, and then he asked: "Then you must know where Eriko's grave is, right?"

"Eriko's grave?" Hatano Emi was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "...she was buried in the cemetery behind Shomeiji Temple, buried with her family...Why do you ask this?"

"I have to go take a look inside her grave, thank you!" Shu Yunwen thanked him, waved his hand, and left with Loli Ai, leaving behind a bunch of messy detectives.

Conan and the others watched Shu Yunwen and Haibara Ai get into the car, and then Hattori Heiji asked: "...Hey, kid, how did that guy investigate here? Do you know?"

"This...I don't know..." Conan was talking, and then as if he suddenly thought of something, he stretched out his hand and patted his forehead, and said depressedly: "...I remembered, that guy is probably... What clues did I get from Donglong Shangping..."

"What?" Hattori Heiji didn't quite understand.

Conan continued to explain: "...that guy bought a private laboratory for his distant cousin Haibara, and the original owner of the laboratory was Toryu Shanghei. Genta and I went to that laboratory before I visited and heard from Huiyuan that Donglong Shangping liked Tang poetry very much and even left a Tang poem, calligraphy and painting in the reception room of the laboratory... That guy's father is also Chinese, maybe he chatted with Donglong Shangping I talked about Tang poetry when I was a kid, and then I got some clues..."

"So that's it!" Hattori Heiji suddenly realized it and asked casually, "...What is the poem in the laboratory? Do you still remember it?"

"I only remember that it is a work by Li Shangyin, but I have forgotten the specific content... Well, it should be a seven-character quatrain!" Conan answered holding his chin.

"Seven-character quatrains?" Hattori Heiji squinted his eyes again, and then said with a smile, "Okay, let's not talk about this. Looking at the guy's appearance just now, he obviously doesn't know about the roster. As long as we get the roster first If we find and unlock the secret, we will win!"

"Yes, that's right!"

Conan and Hattori said a few more words, and then walked into Eriko Kumoichi's house with Hatano Emi and Shimizu Nagao.

Hatano took them briefly around the room, introduced the layout of the room, and then led them to the utility room and said with a smile: "I remember that roster, it was placed here... Just wait a moment, I'll find it right away..."

"Well, let's help too. If we all search together, it will definitely be faster." Koshimizu Nanatsuki also rolled up his sleeves.

Hatano Emi smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll trouble you all. That roster is easy to recognize. The one with 'Tang Poetry Society' written on it is..."

Conan, Hattori, and Takagi Wataru all responded and then got busy.
