Chapter 131

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a scream caught Hoshino Mu's attention.

Could it be that this villa really had ghosts?

Hoshino Mu didn't believe it.

And so.

Hoshino Mu walked toward the direction of the scream.

"Conan, I'm so scared!"

"Ayumi, don't make a sound, follow me closely!"

"......?"

Hoshino Mu walked to a corner.

And saw two small figures hiding in the corner.

If Conan was here.

Then that meant.

This was...?

Hoshino Mu understood.

This was the villa from the legendary Haunted House Murder Case.

So.

There were no ghosts here at all.

Everything was caused by people.

Five years ago.

A happy family of three used to live in this villa.

One day.

The father severely scolded and criticized the son because he had failed the college entrance exam for three consecutive years.

In a fit of rage, the son killed the father.

By the time he reacted.

The father's body was already cold.

The son was panicked and didn't know what to do.

Just as he decided to go to the police station to turn himself in.

The mother stopped him.

In order to let her son escape the responsibility of being a murderer.

And to ensure her son's future prospects would not be affected.

She locked him in the dungeon in the basement.

This confinement lasted for 5 years.

The sighing sounds heard in the villa every night.

Were actually the son's sounds of repentance and crying for accidentally killing his father.

Hoshino Mu already understood in his heart.

So this house was indeed a massive bargain.

After all that talk.

This villa didn't even count as a haunted house.

Now Hoshino Mu just needed to follow Conan.

Guaranteeing that Conan would successfully persuade that mother and son.

To let them turn themselves in. ===== CHAPTER 132 =====
