During the early morning campus tour, what we were looking at was not the scenery, but the scene where a Didan student died accidentally two years ago.
Tsukamoto Sumi temporarily stayed in the library because she needed to borrow a reference book.
So, in this weird atmosphere, the remaining people passed through the corridor on the other side and came to the door of the art room.
"It is said that it is because of the stairs here that every time you count them, you will find a different number of steps." Suzuki Sonoko said with a gloomy face and began to add to the atmosphere, "That's why...Hosaka-san accidentally stepped on the air and fell." Down the stairs, those puddles that occasionally appeared under the stairs were the tears he shed before he died..."
Seeing Xiaolan becoming nervous again, Conan said speechlessly: "Is it because the windows are not closed properly and it's raining again?"
"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko was startled, then put her hands on her hips and retorted: "We are not brats like you, how could we forget to close the window! Besides, how do you explain the number of steps on the stairs?"
"In that case, can't we just count and see now?" Conan said lightly, very unconcerned.
After all, it is very simple to verify such an obvious thing. Compared with this, what worries him more now is Ye Gengyi, who has been standing by the window since just now.
In fact, regardless of whether it is a rest day or not, as long as there is a corresponding club in the teaching area, generally speaking, the task of closing doors and windows in that area will fall on the members of this club.
Therefore, instead of spending time to verify that there are no more or less stairs at all, it is better to follow his reasoning just now and observe the window that may be the water inlet.
"Brother Gengyi, are there any water stains on the inside of the window sill?" Conan asked, raising his head.
Traces like that cannot be erased through simple cleaning. If there are no... then the possibility of a man-made prank is higher.
"Compared to that..." Ye Gengyi looked at the open space in front of the teaching building where the rain had just stopped and said: "Didan High School also has a tradition of letting students take exams outdoors?"
"Ah?" Conan and the others didn't understand what Ye Gengyi meant. They looked along the direction and saw a lonely table and chair appearing strangely in the center of the courtyard.
No...it can't be...
"Brother Gengyi, did you see who moved that table over?"
Conan's expression changed and he was about to run over to find out.
Ye Gengyi's hand was faster. While holding down a certain detective's head, he turned around and stopped Shinde Zhiming's move, saying: "Don't worry, don't always fall for other people's tricks. For such a little kid who likes to play pranks, the harder you are. If you ignore him, it will be easier for him to take advantage of you."
Well...
The expressions of Shinde Zhiming and Conan froze, and the latter even thought that Ye Gengyi's words meant something.
"But...but if you just sit back and ignore it, the guy hiding behind might cause a bigger incident."
The two girls came over slowly because they were counting the stairs. At this time, they both felt uncomfortable when they saw the table in the courtyard through the window.
"Just... that is to say, brother Gengyi... if it is really a ghost that is causing trouble..."
"Then let's find the ghost." After Ye Gengyi finished speaking, he walked towards the library again.
Conan and the others hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to follow him.
In the library on the third floor, Tsukamoto Sumi looked at the people who appeared again and wondered: "What's wrong? They came back so quickly."
"Oh, I'm here to help you make an alibi. By the way..." Ye Gengyi said calmly: "I'm sorry to bother you, find those books that Mr. Hosaka liked to borrow when he was a student."
"Huh... The attitude of asking for help is quite blunt," Tsukamoto Sumi complained. After finding the books, he said: "You, a capricious teacher, should say thank you seriously, right? "
"That sentence, it won't be too late after you help us borrow these books."
"On Electrical and Communication Engineering", "Report on Tropical Rainforest Destruction", "History of the University System" and "Analysis of Rock Rock Destruction Sound"...
"So...why did you borrow this?"
In the corridor, Tsukamoto Sumi, who joined the queue again after being interrupted from studying, asked.
"Burned." Ye Gengyi answered matter-of-factly.
Burned...burned? !
"Hey!" Tsukamoto Sumi hurriedly ran to Ye Gengyi and opened his arms to stop him, "You used my student card to borrow books! And you actually burned them? What on earth are you doing?"
"Because Xiaolan and Yuanzi didn't bring their student cards today." Ye Gengyi said, turned around and looked at the two of them for confirmation: "right?"
"Uh...hehe..."
The two of them covered their pockets. After knowing this, they wouldn't lend it to you even if they had one!
"Look, they didn't bring them, so..."
While Ye Gengyi was speaking, he glanced at Shinde Tomoe and then at Conan. The meaning he wanted to express was obvious...
None of the three of them were students at Didan High School.
Tsukamoto Sumi: "..."
She suspected that the dead fish eyes were intentional...
"Brother Gengyi...you don't want to use this method to eliminate ghosts, do you?"
After Sonoko realized that she really didn't bring her student card, she suddenly had the courage to step forward and persuaded: "But if you burn these books, it may affect Tsukamoto-senpai's graduation evaluation. This is not a good idea. La..."
"That is to say...if you have to do this..."
Mao Lilan also gathered up her courage, took out her student card and said: "Let's use mine..."
"Sister Xiaolan, don't worry..."
A certain detective who was still watching the show realized that several people, including Tomoaki Arata, seemed to take these words seriously. He immediately said with shame: "I think Brother Gengyi is planning to use this method." , let’s deceive that guy pretending to be a ghost...”
"Really...really, Brother Sarada..." Suzuki Sonoko asked.
"Of course, I just saw how serious you were, so I couldn't help but make a joke."
When Ye Gengyi said this, his expression was very calm, and there was no hint of humor at all.
"Hehe, let me just say, how could Brother Geng do such a thing..." Suzuki Sonoko's emotions came quickly,
Several people breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out...it was a joke...
Tomaki Shinde wiped his sweat quietly. He was thinking just now that if he couldn't stop the book burning, at worst he could help Tsukamoto count the money and buy four of the same book at his own expense.
"Hmph, I'm afraid, if Teacher Ye Gengyi still maintains this attitude, it will be very difficult for him to have a teaching career in the school in the future!" Tsukamoto Sumi was very dissatisfied.
Counting it all together, how many times has she been teased by this guy today?
and...
"Even if you want to pretend to burn books, you still have to know who is behind the scenes, right?"
"This... you will know if you come with me." Ye Gengyi said.
