Seeing that the children had prepared so carefully, Conan didn't want to pour cold water on them anymore. He laughed and said, "It turns out that you are so well prepared. The chance of success is much higher."
Ayumi smiled happily, and when she heard the doorbell, she looked at Haihara Ai nervously, "It seems like someone is coming..."
"Brother Fei Chi shouldn't be so fast..."
Hui Yuan Ai looked at the door hesitantly.
Could it be that the information provided by Sister Nanatsuki was wrong and that those two people came over in advance?
"Bang! Bang!"
There was a rapid knock on the door, and a boy shouted, "Hey! Is there anyone there?"
When Bumi heard that the voice was not Chi Feichi's, she stepped forward and opened the door. She curiously looked at the boy who was about her own age but had a panic look outside the door, "Well...what's wrong?"
"There are, there are bad people..." The boy looked panicked, "Some bad people I don't know suddenly came to my house!"
"Hey, Masao..." The middle-aged man quickly stepped forward and picked up the boy's collar, and said to the boy with a dissatisfied look on his face, "If you keep messing around, dad will be really angry!"
"Wow!" The boy was startled.
Behind the man, a middle-aged woman wearing glasses who looked like a fashionable working woman covered her mouth and smiled, "I'm sorry, this kid likes pranks just like his father!"
The man turned to the woman and smiled, "Who said that, with such an exaggerated expression on his face, he looks more like his mother, right?"
The two looked like a loving couple teasing each other.
"No, that's not right..." The boy who was lifted up by the man struggled and shouted to Ayumi and others in the door with a look of horror on his face, "I really don't know them! I didn't lie!"
"What are you talking about?" the middle-aged woman smiled at the boy, "didn't you run out of your mother's belly?"
The middle-aged man carried the boy deeper into the corridor, "You have the same eyes as dad. Everyone can see this. Now, stop playing pranks on others..."
Mitsuhiko poked his head out, looked at the three people leaving, and asked in a low voice, "Who is that guy? Do you know Ayumi?"
"I've never seen him," Ayumi recalled, "but if it's a resident on this floor, I think it should be the child of the Kabuto family who moved to room 2806 not long ago."
Mitsuhiko turned around and went back into the house, "Then have you seen the two people who just called themselves his parents?"
"I haven't seen it before." Seeing that the two people didn't hurt the boy, Ayumi closed the door and turned around to explain, "The doors between our two families are far apart."
"If you live in this kind of apartment building, you probably only say hello to the neighbors on the left and right," Haiyuan Ai said with a speechless expression, still holding the mobile phone in his hand, "If it were like the apartment where Brother Chi lived, there would be nearly as many people on the first floor. Half of the rooms are empty, and the remaining people may not always live there. You can't see anyone every time you come in and out, and it's even less possible to know who lives on the same floor... In short, I think it's just a new person who has moved in. You prankster."
"No," Conan watched the whole thing from the video. He coughed twice when he spoke, then calmed down and said quickly, "Hurry up and call the police! That kid just now may be in trouble!"
"Call the police?!"
Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi quickly gathered around.
Haihara Ai confirmed to Conan, "But how did you know?"
"Those two people are obviously not related to the child by blood, but they lied about being his parents..." Conan became even more depressed and his face turned unhealthy red, "No, I'm a little dizzy, please call Officer Takagi quickly. Bar!"
"etc……"
Before Haihara Ai could ask further questions, Conan hung up the video.
The three children looked at each other.
"Could it be that Conan knows the child and his parents?" Mitsuhiko guessed, "So he knows those two people are lying?"
"Unlikely, Edogawa said 'that child' without mentioning the child's name," Haibara Ai put away her phone and analyzed, "And if it was someone he knew, he could just say, 'I know him. He and his parents, those two adults are not his parents, are lying', so we don't have to guess here."
"I don't think Conan will talk nonsense," Ayumi said, "We'd better call Officer Takagi."
"But he seems to have a serious cold," Yuantai said uncertainly, "could it be that he was dizzy and saw something wrong?"
Haibara Ai thought of the depressed appearance in Conan's video, and couldn't be sure for a moment. Thinking that they would have to come back to decorate the room, she immediately decided to compromise and solve the problem as soon as possible, "Then let's go ask other neighbors and find out the situation. , if you find anything wrong, call the police and let the police handle it, it will probably not take half an hour..."
The four of them had an idea and immediately went out to find neighbors to inquire about the boy's family.
A female neighbor at home, like Ayumi, didn't know the newly moved Pu Chuan's family and had no contact with the host and hostess of Pu Chuan's family. However, she was quite resentful when it came to the boy named Zhengnan.
According to the female neighbor, she was carrying a lot of things upstairs yesterday and was about to take the elevator upstairs. She happened to meet Zhengnan. Zhengnan enthusiastically asked her if she wanted to help press the elevator button. He also said that he also lived on the 28th floor. Zhengnan helped press the elevator button. He got on the elevator and left without getting on the elevator at all, leaving the woman alone to take the elevator up. As a result, the elevator stopped at one floor and then at another.
After the female neighbor realized something was wrong, she struggled to put down the pile of things, only to find that Zhengnan had pressed all the elevator floor buttons except for the 28th floor, which made the woman very angry.
Another neighbor whose house is next to Zhengnan's house is an older man. When talking about the newly moved Pu Chuan's family, he also said that he has never formally met the adults of Pu Chuan's family, but when he mentions Zheng Nan, he is also full of resentment.
Two weeks ago, the man saw a well-known producer from the Japanese TV station going to the house next door. He was curious. Yesterday at noon, he met Masao who came out from next door and asked about it.
Zhengnan said that the producer was going to talk about "Break In!" which is broadcast every Saturday on Nippon TV Station. "Neighbor's Dinner Time" is a variety show. First, a certain family is invited to express their impression of the neighbor. Then during dinner time, the family is asked to trick the neighbor into entering the door. The program crew will then break in. Go into the neighbor's house and record the neighbor's frightened expression and life during dinner time.
The man believed Zhengnan's words. He cleaned up with his wife that day, put on a dress that night, and prepared an exquisite dinner. He was ready to leave a decent image on TV when the program team made a surprise attack. He also called many friends to tell them that he wanted to It's on TV, please pay attention to the program that day.
As a result, it wasn't until the show was finished and they didn't wait for people from the TV station to come to the door that the man knew that he had been tricked by Zhengnan. Because of this, he was also embarrassed by his friends...
After the man finished complaining, he stared at the four children outside the door with dissatisfaction, "Aren't you friends of that kid?"
Mitsuhiko sweated, "No, it's not..."
The man slammed the door shut and shouted from behind, "Go back quickly! I won't be fooled again!"
Ayumi turned to look at Mitsuhiko and Genta, and said speechlessly, "He looks like a child who often lies."
Haibara Ai didn't rush to a conclusion and called Nippon TV Station to ask the producer who came and went from Kabo's house if he knew Masao's parents. However, he learned on the phone that the producer had been in a traffic accident two weeks ago. , was still in a coma until yesterday.
Two weeks ago, the producer went to room 2806 for unknown reasons, and a car accident occurred not long after, giving the matter an unusual and dangerous smell.
It seems that there is no way to determine whether Zhengnan lied.
Huihara Ai decided to go directly to Pu Chuan's house to test it out, and rang the doorbell with her three children.
Behind the door, the woman saw the four children standing outside the door through the peephole. She turned back and glanced at the man and said, "Oh no, it's the four children of that family just now. It's all because of this child that he ran over and said that kind of thing... …”
"There's no other way, let them in." The man stood in the entrance hall, locked Zhengnan's neck with his left arm, held Zhengnan in front of him, held a kitchen knife in his right hand and approached Zhengnan's face, smiling ferociously. , "But if you dare to say anything again..."
As he said that, the man looked sideways at the middle-aged woman who was tied to the toilet and her mouth was sealed with tape.
"You should know, right? What will happen to your mother?"
Zhengnan looked at his tied mother with an ugly face and nodded. After being put down by the man, he walked to the door obediently and waited for the woman to open the door. As the woman asked, he apologized to Haiyuan Ai and others outside the door and admitted that he It was a prank before.
Haibara Ai carefully noticed that Masao's fisted hand hanging by his side was shaking. She felt that it was impossible for a child to act for such a long time and keep performing in a place where it was difficult for others to see. She was not fooled by the woman, so she proposed to invite Masao to play. Two card games.
The woman was about to refuse, but Zhengnan hesitated, and suddenly shouted that he was very good at playing proverb cards, he had them at home, and he could play with other children for a while.
Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi had always been familiar with each other. They felt that the proverb cards were also good without Waka Solitaire. When the woman hesitated, they walked in the door consciously.
Hui Yuan Ai also entered the door and quietly observed the surroundings.
The woman had no choice but to follow a group of children and watch them, organizing a game of cards.
During the preparation, Yuantai wandered to the toilet next to the entrance, stretched out his hand to turn the door handle, and found that the door could not be opened. He turned to the woman who was following him with a puzzled look, "Huh? Isn't this a toilet?"
The woman was startled by Yuantai's actions. She mentally criticized these rude brats and tried to smile as naturally as possible, "My husband is in there! He just said he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, so he jumped in." Went inside, if you need to use the bathroom, there is another room inside!"
Yuantai nodded with a clear face and shouted into the toilet, "Uncle, I was really embarrassed to turn the doorknob just now!"
In the toilet, the man squatted next to Zhengnan's mother. The knife in his right hand was close to Zhengnan's mother's neck. He threatened Zhengnan's mother not to make any sound. He gritted his teeth and smiled, "Ah, it doesn't matter..."
That brat, he was really scared to death just now!
The naughty children are the most annoying!
