After the four people were driven away by words that were equivalent to an eviction order, they waited until the middle-aged woman closed the door before arriving in room 2805.
"Oh, that auntie's expression at the end was so scary..." Yuantai felt a little worried.
"It's not that Masao's prank is to blame, but the rest of us will be implicated as well." Mitsuhiko sighed helplessly.
"Then should we continue the investigation?" Ayumi hesitated.
"You're here, let's ask some questions. After all, if we go back now, we still don't know whether to call the police..."
Hui Yuan Ai walked over and pressed the doorbell.
After a while, the door opened.
A middle-aged man in his forties, bald and wearing brown pajamas, came out.
"Who are you looking for?" He looked at the four little heads in confusion.
"Uncle, do you know the Ufune family who just moved into room 2806 yesterday?" Haibara asked.
"Urofune?"
The man looked to the side and muttered, "So that family has moved away." He looked away and explained, "You asked the wrong person. I rarely go out except for shopping, and I rarely interact with my neighbors." contacts."
I'm an old otaku... I really hope that Brother Geng will not become like this in the future. It seems that if there is a chance, I still have to find a way to let him travel...
Hui Yuarai's thoughts wandered for a while. After coming back to his senses, he asked with half-moon eyes: "When you went out to buy things recently, did you see any suspicious people near the apartment?"
"this……"
The man thought for a while and said, "I can't say it's suspicious. I once saw a producer named Hida from Nichimai TV. At that time, I happened to come back from shopping for groceries and saw that man go into the room No. 2806 next door."
"W-What?! The people from the TV station went to room 2806..."
The three children were surprised, "Could it be that there is still a famous person living in Urabune's house?"
Hui Yuan Ai immediately asked: "Excuse me, when did that happen?"
The man recalled briefly and said, "It was probably two weeks ago."
"Two weeks ago?" Mitsuhiko suddenly felt a little disappointed: "In that case, it has nothing to do with Masao who just moved in yesterday..."
"Hmph! It was only after I heard what you said that I found out that that family had moved away!"
The man's face was gloomy and he said angrily:
"Yesterday at noon, I saw a child walking out of Room 2806, and asked him about selling TV producers. He said that Mr. Hida had planned to raid my house to record an episode of "Neighbors' Dinner"... It was that very popular show! Then my wife and I specially cleaned the house, prepared a big meal, and notified all the relatives and friends we knew to remember to watch TV! We waited until 8 o'clock when the show was broadcast, Only then did I realize that that brat was lying! Huh? Wait a minute..."

After venting his anger, the man suddenly stared at the four children in front of him, frowned and shouted: "Ah! You guys, are you the ones who came here to see my reaction? Damn it... hurry up and give me I'm going back, don't disturb my rest anymore!"
After saying that, he turned around and slammed the door.
A muffled sound exploded in the corridor in winter.
Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta felt that they had suffered an unreasonable disaster, and immediately decided not to care about the lying child anymore.
To say that Edogawa is a habitual liar, Edogawa is no exception... Moreover, from the perspective of investigation, even if the testimonies of the left and right neighbors are the same, it cannot be concluded that the truth is what they see...
Haibara Ai sighed silently, took out his mobile phone and called Nippei TV, trying to confirm whether the balding middle-aged man and the producer he saw was Mr. Hida of Nippori TV.
She had the attitude of giving it a try.
As a result, the truth revealed was surprising...
"What? Mr. Hida was in a car accident just two weeks ago?"
Ayumi covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Could it be that... he knew some secret in room 2806, so he was attacked by someone?!"
"So Masao came to us for help because he discovered the secret?" Mitsuhiko guessed.
"But that kid is full of lies. He is just a "sheep-herding boy"! How can we believe him?"
Yuantai's idea is relatively simple.
He felt that those who lied to him were not good people...
"However, in the story "The Sheep Herder", although he finally told the truth, no one believed him, so he was eaten by the big bad wolf, right?"
After Hui Yuan Ai finished speaking, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
The difficulty of the problem lies here, because no matter what choice she makes now, as long as the result is the opposite side, Ayumi will receive a bad reputation...
She thought about it for a while and decided to go to Ura Funa's house to find out.
Come to room 2806 and ring the doorbell.
In the room, the woman pretending to be the real man's mother saw the four children outside through the peephole, and immediately lowered her voice and complained:
"It's all because Zhengnan said that just now. I think if I pretend not to be at home now, it might attract their parents..."
"Hey, there's nothing we can do. Just let them in."
The man with slightly curly black hair spat, and suddenly took out the dagger from his waist, waved it twice in front of Zhengnan, and then turned to look into the bathroom. There was a man who was tied up with tape, and his eyebrows looked similar to Zhengnan's. A similar woman threatened: "If you dare to talk nonsense, I don't need to say more about what will happen to you and your mother, right?"
Zhengnan's body was trembling, and he held back the tears that burst out of his eyes, "I...I know..."
"Very well, then go and open the door."
The curly-haired man smiled darkly, walked into the bathroom holding the dagger, and closed the door.
Ding dong, ding dong, the doorbell echoed in the corridor.
The fake mother pulled Zheng Nan and stood at the entrance for more than ten seconds. After confirming that there were no tears on his face, she opened the door.
If you are considered to be a domestic violence child, it may cause unnecessary trouble...
She adjusted her mood, put a smile on her face, looked at a few people saying hello, and said: "Oh, it's those children just now, what's the matter?"
"Is Zhengnan here?" Haiyuan Ai stared at the other person's face, trying to capture something from it.
"Yeah, isn't it because of what the child said just now that you are worried all the time?"
The fake mother's hand was always on the doorknob. As she spoke, she opened some more doors, revealing the real man who had been standing in front of the entrance. He turned his head and scolded in a low voice: "Really... don't make mom worry anymore." But come and apologize!"
Well……
Hearing the name 'Mom', Zhengnan lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, and tried to stay calm:
"Yes...I'm sorry, I lied to you..."
"What, it turns out you are really lying." Yuantai curled his lips, "If you keep doing this, you won't be able to make friends."
It was all because of this boy's lies that they were reprimanded by the two neighbors. Unless he eats two more bowls of eel rice, he won't be in a good mood all day.
"Haha... This kid is also reflecting on himself. Just forgive him."
The fake mother said with a 'hehe' smile: "Goodbye then. Let's play together next time when we have time."
This person never seems to want to let us in...but it may be because he has just moved here, so he is more wary than others.
...Speaking of which, from the clues provided by the two neighbors, we can know that this family did not say hello to the residents on the entire floor...
Why is it that Brother Genichi and Edogawa and the others seem to be able to find a lot of clues at random every time, but when it comes to myself, everything seems to be in a fog and I can't figure out the clues at all!
Sigh... If only I could find clues about my area of expertise...
Haiyuan Ai sighed silently, looking at the increasingly narrow cracks in the door, and suddenly his eyes fell on Masao's body that was shaking uncontrollably due to fear.
Huh? This seems familiar...
