"Oh, I see, so it's to make that culprit think we've all been scared away!" After Mitsuhiko finished speaking, Ayumi and Genta also cried out together, "There's a ghost, we're so scared!" After shouting, Conan and the others quickly ran into the restroom and hid. Only when Yuu's phone screen showed only their five little red dots did Conan lead them out.
Ayumi and the others, who were walking in front, suddenly froze as if nailed to the spot, trembling all over.
"What's wrong!" Conan asked urgently.
"There... someone!"
"In our... classroom!"
"And not just one or two people!"
Following the direction Ayumi and the others pointed, Conan looked into their classroom. Indeed, the pitch-black classroom was neatly filled with people, and someone wearing a large mask was walking around in the classroom!
"What! Looks like there are over ten people! What are they doing in the classroom? That's right, that's who Ayumi saw! Strange, what is he holding? Oh, I completely understand!" Conan secretly chuckled, then crouched down by the wall.
At this moment, Yuu suddenly noticed that besides the red dot in the classroom, another red dot appeared. Yuu's lips curved slightly, "This is getting interesting!" With that, Yuu walked alone towards the other red dot's location.
"Conan, what are you going to do!" Genta asked.
"Do you even need to ask? Of course, I'm going to catch the culprit!" Conan replied as if it were obvious.
"Oh no, are we going to be alright?" Mitsuhiko asked as he ran.
"There are so many of them!" Genta was also worried.
But Conan ran straight to the door of their classroom and stopped! "Shhh..." He made a shushing gesture to Ayumi and the others behind him, scaring them so much they didn't even dare to breathe! Then, Conan pretended to cough twice, and boldly walked over and knocked on the door three times. No one opened the door, so he pushed it open himself and turned on the classroom lights!
"Ah!" Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta were stunned by the scene in the classroom—a doll was placed on each student's desk, and the sculptures and anatomical models were arranged on one side of the classroom. Ayumi found the doll with her name on it on her desk!
"What is this? Parent-teacher meeting!" Genta found a note stuck to the anatomical model's head.
"It looks like a parent-teacher meeting!" Ayumi said, looking around the classroom.
"That's right, this culprit is treating the dolls as students, and then the plaster statues and anatomical models as parents. Every night, he practices non-stop in the classroom, all to prepare for next week's parent-teacher meeting!" Conan said calmly and confidently, "And to prevent others from hearing him, he wears a large mask!" Then, Conan said to the podium, "Isn't that right?! The one hiding under the podium is the homeroom teacher of first-grade Class B, Ms. Kobayashi!"
"Ah!" Ayumi ran to the podium and saw that it was indeed Ms. Kobayashi!
"Then, everyone said that the plaster statues could move, and that anatomical model could run, so..." Mitsuhiko said in surprise.
"It was just Ms. Kobayashi moving them here every night for practice!" Conan said proudly, "As for the anatomical model running, it's just that she runs pretty fast!"
"But, instead of practicing here every night, wouldn't it be better to be a bit nicer to us students?" Genta said.
"Exactly! Teacher should first change your annoying personality, right!" Mitsuhiko also said.
"Actually, that's not it! The truth is quite the opposite! The teacher loves children too much and doesn't know what to do!" Ms. Kobayashi said painfully, "The teacher actually loves children very much! I cherish my students in my own way! In my previous school, I never even lost my temper! But at the first parent-teacher meeting,
I messed things up completely! But, as the parent-teacher meeting approached, past events resurfaced in my mind, making me restless! I had no choice but to secretly practice here every night! It's you, Kojima-kun, you resemble that boy from before, so you worry me the most!" Ms. Kobayashi finished her story and said to Genta.
"Is that so!" Genta mumbled.
"No wonder Genta's doll was so torn and tattered!" Conan secretly chuckled.
"But now everyone is afraid of me, and some even call me a 'tigress'. Perhaps I'm not suitable to be a teacher!" Ms. Kobayashi said sadly.
"No such thing! Honestly, I've always thought Ms. Kobayashi was a very good teacher! I even saw with my own eyes that after everyone went home, Ms. Kobayashi would either water the flowers or feed the fish! Don't you agree?" Ayumi turned around and winked at Genta and Mitsuhiko.
"Ah, well... of course, other teachers wouldn't do such things!" Mitsuhiko stammered.
"Everyone also says that the 'tigress' even waters flowers, what a miracle!" Genta had just finished speaking when Mitsuhiko elbowed him hard.
"In any case, no matter how much the teacher tries to deceive herself, she can't deceive the eyes of children! Since the truth has come to light, it's better for you to reveal your true self! But, now the most important thing is for the teacher to get rid of her stage fright!" Conan said humorously.
"I... I know!" Ms. Kobayashi said, blushing in embarrassment.
"But, Teacher, you're too much!" Ayumi said mischievously, pulling Ms. Kobayashi's arm. "How could you use smoke and paint to scare us?"
"Hmm?" Ms. Kobayashi was surprised.
"Don't pretend! The one hiding behind the window, secretly watching us, was Teacher, right?" Mitsuhiko said with a smile.
"What are you talking about! I heard Tsuburaya-kun's scream, so I moved the anatomical model to the infirmary, and then I've been hiding in the infirmary all along!" Ms. Kobayashi looked at Mitsuhiko, puzzled.
"Ah!" Conan was startled. "Then, who opened the door to the staff office?"
"Staff office? What are you talking about?" Ms. Kobayashi was even more confused.
"I knew it, I knew someone was there!" Conan didn't bother to think too much and wanted to turn and run to the staff office. Just then, Yuu happened to walk over, leading a person who was clutching their head with both hands.
"Head of Academic Affairs?!" Seeing that the person following Yuu was the Head of Academic Affairs, who hadn't come to school for three days, Conan was a little confused.
"You said he's the Head of Academic Affairs?" Yuu had thought this bald man was a thief.
"Head of Academic Affairs? What happened to your head?" Ms. Kobayashi, who had just arrived, asked in surprise.
"Ah... Ms. Kobayashi? This..." The Head of Academic Affairs was speechless for a moment.
"Hahahaha..." Conan and the others suddenly understood. It turned out that the one who wanted to scare them away was the Head of Academic Affairs! He came to school at night to look for his wig, which had accidentally been blown away by the wind in the staff office that day. And the one who caused this comical scene was Mr. Ohta, who had accidentally left the window open that day!
Yuu and the others had no choice but to accompany the Head of Academic Affairs in searching for his wig in the office, but there was no sign of it anywhere. Later, they learned that the wig had long been hidden by the old principal!
