Go down into the secret passage and walk to the end. The dungeon is on your right.

Going further forward, there is actually a room.

However, the lights in that room were always turned off, which was not as noticeable as the dungeon. In addition, Shiraishi's mask time was almost up, so he only checked the dungeon at that time.

When planning the virtual world of Sugi, Shiraishi saw some of his memories and already knew Sugi's house very well.

He passed by the dungeon and walked to the end room, looking at the simple unfinished house.

The walls are made of cement, but the floor is still connected to the soil below. The room is extremely simple and even weeds are growing in the corners.

As soon as he entered the door, he threw a mattress on his left side. This is where Mrs. Sugijiang usually sleeps. Now there are two unconscious naughty kids lying on it. After encountering the two, Ayami Sugijiang knocked them out and put them here. She hadn't figured out what to do.

The most eye-catching thing is a painting placed against the wall. This is the work of Sugi Jiangxu, and the frame is already a little moldy.

Just as I looked up and admired Shan Jiangxu's early painting style, a light suddenly appeared at the door.

Shiraishi turned around and saw Ayami Sugi standing at the door holding a burning candlestick, staring at him quietly with her eyes that had settled into the years.

"You haven't seen this painting yet." Relying on the fact that she is wearing a vest now, Bai Shi is not panicking at all, ignoring the shiny kitchen knife she holds in her other hand:

"When you got married, you held a Western-style wedding that your husband prefers. He wanted to make up for another wedding ceremony for you, but he was embarrassed to speak.

"In order to bring up this topic, he hid another painting he really wanted to draw under this entry. He originally wanted to show it to you after winning the award, but he didn't expect that he could not even get the nomination award in the end..."

Shiraishi pressed on the hidden mechanism, and with a subtle sound of shattering and the sound of flipping wood, the oil painting on the outer layer flipped and folded, revealing the pattern inside.

——Under the background of the fine white beach and the blue ocean, the two people in the center of the picture hugged each other hand.

Men wear dignified black kimonos, while women wear white Wuqi, which is common in traditional weddings. They are surrounded by white seagulls, and a little boy is waving something like a certificate, jumping and standing among the two.

Sugi Ayami's turbid eyes finally had a slight fluctuation. She stood there for a moment and walked slowly towards the oil painting.

It has been a long time since the murder in Shanjiang's house. If the mother and son insist on keeping it confidential, it will not be easy to find evidence.

So Shiraishi felt that if he wanted to complete the task, it would be better to convince them to surrender - Sugie Akio should be very happy with this, and the only problem was Mrs. Sugie.

Think about it, many people in the island country believe in the existence of spirits. In addition, Shiraishi did come into contact with Sugi Jiangxu after his death. He pondered for a moment, and a small light bulb in his mind lit up, and decided to play Onmyoji.

"He has a few words for me to bring to you. For the sake of retelling, I will say it in the first person." Bai Shi held the half-faced mask on the bridge of his nose and spoke with a charlatan:

"It's not your fault that you didn't educate your son well. Don't punish yourself like this. It's me that I only focus on work and ignore you and Akio."

"So I think you should at least look at this painting and then take a look at the scenery I want to see but couldn't see. Instead of living with that boy every day in the cold and wet ground, living like this mouse-like life."

...Although she still has charges of illegal detention and obstruction of investigation, what Sugie Akio doesn't say is, God knows you and I know.

The more Shiraishi thought about it, the more he felt that this was very feasible. After all, Akio Sugie was not a difficult object to convince.

"Thank you, I'm very happy to see these." Just as I was thinking, Ayami Sugi put down her knife and raised her hand to touch the beautiful oil painting.

Then she shook her head and smiled, "It's just a pity that such a pure and beautiful scenery is no longer suitable for me."

"I'm just an ugly prisoner who can't attack the real murderer and eventually took off his anger.

The kitchen knife landed on the ground and hit something, making a clicking sound.

Shiraishi subconsciously lowered his head and saw some of the not-solid soil under his feet being knocked open by a knife, and a small piece of white hard object was exposed.

The color and material made his scalp numb. Bai Shi suddenly realized something and leaned over and opened the soil layer.

A pale skull was revealed below.

Shiraishi looked at the skull, then looked at Ayami Sugi in his complicated gaze. The woman smiled and said, "If you want to call the police, can I call the police?"

Shiraishi was silent for a while and nodded: "Okay"

When he mentioned the police station, he remembered the file he had checked before about the robbery and murder of Sugio's house.

When I was searching for the pile of pretty big files, a yellowed piece of paper fell from the pages, which seemed to be copied by someone who was investigating the case and sandwiched it inside to make a memorandum.

——Takashi Murata, reported missing on August 17, Showa 1956.

...

I don’t know if I saw Ayami Sugi change her mind after seeing the painting, or if there were too many people breaking into the villa today, and the matter of forbidding her son could not continue.

After Shiraishi agreed to surrender herself, the task of removing the hidden dangers of the haunted house and saving the naughty child was completed.

The time for the mask is about to run out. After Sugi Ayami went to the dungeon to find Sugi Akio, he got out of the state and crawled out of the elf ball outside the street.

After putting away the props, Bai Shi took a walk and came to the ancient villa to observe secretly. A formal employee with a conscience should also pay attention to the after-sales service.

The mother and son of the Shanjiang family quickly walked out of the villa and brought out the unconscious Mitsuhiko and Yuanta.

After calling the police, the two sat side by side at the door. Sugie Akio looked at the sky outside, which was not clear, and burst into tears excitedly, muttering some inconsistent words.

After vaguely hearing the sound of the police sirens, and seeing Conan and Azumi sneak out of the room, Shiraishi turned around and left and took the bus home.

This time, he gained a lot. In addition to completing the mission of liberating wandering souls, saving naughty children, and eliminating hidden dangers in haunted houses, Bai Shi also gained other gains.

——In the process of "liberating resentment and creating wandering souls", he has prepared the materials needed to solve the library tasks.

Shiraishi rarely feels like he has finished his winter vacation homework early at the beginning of the holiday.

The bus slowly swayed home. As soon as Shiraishi stepped into the cafe door, he saw Butterfly Ninja poking his head out from behind the counter and greeting him with a smile: "You are back."

"Yes." Shiraishi said casually as she walked towards her room, "It's nothing."

“Yes.”

Butterfly Ninja bent down and searched for a while, then quickly took out a piece of paper and placed it in front of Bai Shi.
