File 457 - School Ghost Story
While having dinner, Ran mentions that Teitan High School has been haunted by a ghost recently and asks Kogoro to investigate. Kogoro says that it must be a prank and refuses to go, but Conan is willing to find out what is going on. So one day after school, Conan heads back to his old school with the company of Ran and Sonoko. They meet some of Conan's former classmates, after which he senses a profound nostalgia and becomes frustrated that he has not been able to find an antidote to APTX4869 and allowed Vermouth to escape in their last confrontation. He is having some further thoughts about Vermouth when Dr. Araide appears before him and his company. Conan is horrified until Araide mouths in his ears that he is the real Tomoaki Araide, that he has returned to Japan because the FBI had already revealed Vermouth's fake identity and his maid Hikaru and grandmother could not adapt to the life in the U.S.. He then joins Conan in their ghost investigation.
Sonoko shows the rest of the investigators around the school and points out (and overdramatizes) three occasions of haunting, all related to a deceased former student called Hideaki Hosaka. Firstly, a female student heard a sound resembling sobbing when she entered the school's sports storage room on a rainy morning, and the desk and chair of Hosaka were in that storage room (and the desk had his signature on it). Secondly, four books that Hosaka borrowed when he was still alive were thrown around in the library. And thirdly, below the stairs where Hosaka fell to his death there was once a large amount of water, which Sonoko believes to be the "cursing tears" of Hosaka. During their tour of the school, it started raining, and the four investigators encountered three third-year students: Kazumi Tsukamoto, who believes that the first haunting event was simply due to violent wind and that the second is caused by a prankster (whom she would like to punish if exposed); Kunishige Seko, who is feeling unwell and thus has to rest in the nursery of the school; and Masao Monobe, who is concentrating on his drawing and becomes infuriated when the investigators make noise when talking about the stairs right beside his room.
Conan points out that the water below the stairs might have accumulated simply because the window nearby was accidentally kept open while it was raining. Ran seems convinced of this and of explanations offered by Tsukamoto and no longer believes that the ghost exists, but Sonoko is furious at Conan for reducing her overdramatized story to such a simple and boring explanation. Ran glances out of the window and sees a desk and a chair in the yard of the school; they were previously not there. The investigators rush downstairs to see what is going on and find the desk and chair to be the ones of Hosaka; and there is a piece of paper on the desk saying "my hatred has not yet disappeared". Conan comments that since the piece of paper is dry, the desk and the chair must have been brought to the yard after the rain has stopped a little while again, and he is puzzled to see that there is no footprint on the muddy ground, which whoever moved the desk and chair there should have left.
