Chapter 234 The Missing Dean

"No, but I remember that he looked scary and seemed to be angry." Ayumi shook her head.

"Then did you hear his voice?" Conan asked again.

"It's blurry, I can't hear it clearly." Ayumi replied.

"Did you tell the teacher?"

"I told the dean about this matter, and he promised me that he would investigate it."

"The results of it?"

"Whether it was yesterday or today, the dean did not come to school. I asked Mr. Xiaolin and other teachers, but they didn't know where the dean was!"

"I even went to the director's house and rang the doorbell several times, but no one came out to open the door... Could he be dead?"

When she said this, Ayumi had tears in her eyes and looked very sad.

"Maybe the dean is just sleeping at home because he has a cold?" Yuantai raised his eyebrows and said casually.

"If that's the case, he should have contacted the school, but Teacher Kobayashi doesn't know his whereabouts, so obviously he hasn't contacted the school." Mitsuhiko overturned Genta's guess.

"I remember that the dean lived alone after his wife died." Conan thought for a while and said.

"So, the dean must have been killed by me!" Ayumi held the broom with a little force and said with a sad expression: "Because I asked him to investigate that matter, and in the end, he was killed by that weirdo and buried!"

"Ayumi, don't be too pessimistic. Think positively about everything." Ze Yu comforted him, "Maybe the dean just has something urgent to do and can't come to school?"

"I hope so..." After being comforted, Ayumi barely mustered up the courage but still spoke in a somewhat depressed tone.

"Ayumi, why didn't you tell us about this earlier?" Haibara Ai suddenly asked.

"I..." Ayumi lowered her head in shame.

"Okay, Ai." Ze Yu stood up, smiled, and tried to smooth things over: "Ayumi is just too scared to speak. Who hasn't been scared?"

Hearing this, a faint smile suddenly appeared on Huiyuan Ai's face: "Xiaoyu, have you ever been scared?"

"Maybe I did before? But I haven't felt this emotion for a long time..." Ze Yu said truthfully.

Come to think of it, after so many years, he almost forgot what "fear" felt like.

"Should we catch that weirdo?" Hiroki, who had been silent and just listening quietly, gave his opinion: "But I think the most important thing now is to find the missing dean."

"Then let's..." Conan pushed his glasses and wanted to say something, but he suddenly shut up halfway through his words.

Because Teacher Kobayashi has come over.

"What are you guys making noise about? Why don't you go and sweep the floor?" Teacher Xiaolin said sternly with a cold face, "Also, you must remember that the notice the teacher gave out today must be taken to the homes of those students who asked for leave. Did you hear me?"

"Okay." Everyone nodded helplessly.

Teacher Kobayashi said this in a commanding tone, then left the classroom angrily.

She always looks angry and lives like an old lady who has entered menopause early.

However, after Teacher Kobayashi left the classroom, in a corner where the students could not see, she showed a slightly sad expression and covered her mouth with her hands.

It was in stark contrast to his previous stern look. "Teacher Xiaolin, what's wrong with you? Why are you so pale?" A male teacher with a high hairline came over and said with a smile, "You just transferred to our school and took on the responsibility of a class. Although it's hard, you don't have to be so depressed."

"No, nothing." The expression on Teacher Kobayashi's face instantly changed back to its previous state. He said rudely, then turned and left.

It's like wearing a stern mask.

After Teacher Kobayashi left, the male teacher shook his head helplessly and prepared to leave.

At this time, Conan ran over and asked innocently, "Teacher, can I ask you a question?"

"Where did the Dean go? Why can't I find him recently?"

Hearing Conan's words, the smile on the male teacher's face froze instantly, and he said stiffly: "This... I only know that he hasn't been to school recently, and he hasn't asked for leave. As for other things, I don't know."

"Maybe, he will come to school soon?"

After saying that, the male teacher turned around and ran away quickly, leaving Conan's sight.

I don't know why, but Conan had a feeling as he watched the other person leaving.

This male teacher seems a little embarrassed. Is he running away?
Not long after the male teacher left, the members of the Junior Detective Team appeared behind Conan.

"This teacher looks so weird. He must be hiding something." Mitsuhiko concluded.

"It seems that there is something wrong with all the teachers in our school!" Yuantai kicked the wall unhappily.

"Student, how could you destroy public property?" The old principal, who had long eyebrows and beard, walked over and said with narrowed eyes.

"It's the principal!" Everyone turned around in surprise and looked at the old man.

"It has been 30 years since this school was founded. Over the years, it has been like my clone, working hard with me until now." The principal said with some emotion and nostalgia, touching the wall next to him.

"You must cherish it."

After saying that, the principal turned and left.

Before the other party walked too far, Conan quickly asked: "Principal, do you know where the dean of studies went?"

The principal suddenly stopped, turned around, and said meaningfully: "The truth cannot be hidden. This person's luck is really bad. This is his fate..."

After he finished speaking, the principal put his hands behind his back and gradually walked away, leaving Conan and the others standing there quietly thinking.

"So, what's the situation with the dean?" Yuantai said in annoyance, grabbing his hair.

He doesn't like to think about problems.

"I have a guess." Hiroki said seriously, "Is it possible... that the missing dean is actually the weirdo in the classroom?"

"Ah?" Ayumi blinked in surprise: "I didn't think of this, but what Hiroki said is very likely true!"

Conan frowned and thought: "I always feel that things are not that simple."

"Let's take action together tonight." Ze Yu smiled slightly: "We will know what the situation in the school is once we find out."
