I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 618
Which detective in the world does not rely on Sherlock Holmes for his spiritual support...
The girl's fingers searched all the case descriptions in Tokyo, but no one similar to this one appeared...
So, where is the [Sherlock Holmes] mentioned by Mashiro?
That legend always wears a curved pipe, a detective hat, and a coat. It looks energetic and weird, and appears in darkness and light...
Alice had a headache.
However, this is not the most important purpose after all. After analyzing a piece of information to no avail, Alice took a short break and opened a can of Dr Pepper.
It was 5:40 in the morning, and she knew that Li Yan went to rest at 2:10. During the night, it seemed that she was the only one existing in this world.
There were still wisps of lights in the dark Tokyo, and the quiet streets were slightly cold. Alice looked at the window quietly, and the gray floors were as mysterious, prosperous and beautiful as the world of comics.
Suddenly, there was a conversation from the neighbor.
"Kanna, are you ready?"
"Yes, Lord Thor."
"Today we are going to Yokohama to buy some seafood. Yesterday we saw a certain market offering a big discount. You can never buy such cheap seafood here in Tokyo. We have to go there quickly and queue up."
"Awesome! There is seafood to eat today."
It seemed that the people in the apartment next door were discussing the purchase of food today. Alice was a little curious about how it was possible to go to Yokohama to buy seafood in Shinjuku, Tokyo.
Her bright black and white eyes were so focused and focused, she listened quietly.
"Probably... I'll be back at 6:30. It will take a while to line up." Thor calculated the time and said.
"Eh?" Alice blinked, thinking how could this be possible, even if she took the Shinkansen.
"Master Thor, do you need to buy some for Master Li?"
"Well... my budget this month is a bit poor. I'll just buy some cheaper shellfish. As long as I don't tell Li, there should be no problem."
When Alice heard this, she realized that the relationship between the neighbor and Li Yan seemed to be good.
"Sure enough, it's a bit strange..."
However, Alice was a little curious. The location here was close to the balcony. Since we were discussing going shopping, why not choose to discuss it at the entrance instead of the balcony on the fifth floor?
"Then, let's go."
Thor said to Connor.
Alice was drinking Dr Pepper, her messy hair being blown by the night breeze. She heard a popping sound at the window and looked out curiously...
In the darkness, two figures jumped directly to the balcony next door...
"puff--!!"
Alice couldn't help but choked.
She couldn't help but cough. When she climbed out of bed and opened the window to look down, she saw nothing under the streetlights below...
"What...what's going on?"
Alice's face turned blue, her hair was blown by gusts of cold wind, and she always felt that something was wrong.
Is it because of her eyesight or because of the reflection, but these assumptions cannot be established because the sound of conversations next door has stopped...
"No, this is impossible. Ghosts do not exist. People are afraid because they believe such rumors subconsciously. It is their own incompetence that leads to such misperceptions. As a detective, this is not allowed. Misconceptions are stored in memory.”
Alice quickly regained her composure. As a detective, her first priority is to believe that there are no evil spirits in the world.
However, in order to convince Alice of this point, after searching Google for the rumor that "Shinjuku One Dollar Apartment is haunted", unimportant information that had been elusive was revealed...
"..."
Alice looked at the information one by one and began to waver in her belief in being a detective.
There are often unmanned ghost cars around; there are always several figures floating and moving in the air on the fourth floor of the apartment building; at around five o'clock, there are often strange things slapping on the windows of the surrounding apartment buildings; there are also people on the fifth floor. Someone saw a fire, but the fire truck hadn't arrived yet, but the floor was intact... and there were always sightings of walking Japanese dolls appearing on the roadside at night...
Therefore, this phenomenon has led to the fact that it has been difficult for residents to stay in the three apartment buildings opposite... After searching for the previous addresses of these posters, the results are consistent with the fact that they once lived nearby.
There are no bugs in the information, not to mention what she just witnessed with her own eyes...
5:56 minutes.
[Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock...]
The sound of the pendulum clock in the living room was quietly transmitted to the bedroom.
The wind was blowing outside the window. Li Yan was covered with a thick quilt after a hard day's work. The heating was not turned on in the room. The weather was getting warmer as February approached, and the temperature was completely bearable.
Li Yan, who had been sleeping in the bedroom, vaguely felt something approaching him.
He opened his eyes and looked towards the door.
As a result, there was a body wrapped in a sheet, holding a stuffed bear in his hand, whose face could not be seen clearly in the dim light, hissing and crying, his whole body trembling, his head lowered, and the figure of a girl with long black hair. Squatting on the ground, he hid in his bedroom aggrievedly.
At a glance like this, it's like watching a scene from a horror movie.
"Wait a minute, what the hell?!" Li Yan thought to himself with his eyes widened and his heart chilling.
※※※
Finally it was early morning.
Alice opened her eyes after hiding under the quilt. Only then did she realize that she had fallen asleep just now?
The strange thing is that she never knew that she would sleep at any other time except three or four in the afternoon.
She climbed out of the quilt and was greeted by the dazzling and warm sunlight.
"Well……"
Alice couldn't help but close her eyes, which were filled with tears.
Gradually, she could see clearly. The originally unheated bedroom began to blow out gusts of wind. In the bright bedroom with a pile of books, Li Yan, with dark circles under his eyes, was reading at his desk. Like this Spent more than two hours with her.
In the early morning, with less than 4 hours of sleep, after figuring out what happened to Alice, Li Yan made up one lie after another to round out the rumors here.
Although it is a lie, the fact is that it is not the case. Although it is not very rigorous, it is very useful.
As a result, when Alice listened to Li Yan's nagging explanation, she hugged Mocha Bear and gradually calmed down from the height of fear. In this process, there was an indescribable sense of comfort, just like the cold wind in the fairy tale. In the blizzard, it was like a safe hut with a bonfire burning. Gradually, she fell asleep in bed, surrounded by a warm and trembling firelight.
