Kaito pretended to be Mouri Kogoro and drove the car to a small mountain road behind the gas station. The road condition of this mountain road can be said to be difficult to describe. It was bumpy and bumpy along the way. Xiaolan and Conan had to hold on tightly. The handle on the side of the door prevented the tragedy of hitting the head on the roof of the car.
"Dad, which way are you driving? You're going the wrong way!" Xiaolan shouted, almost biting her own tongue.
"It's not wrong, it was the gas station owner who showed me the way, and then I bought a damn expensive map from him..." Kaito imitated Mouri Kogoro, his imitation was vivid, "If he really gave it to me He pointed out a blind path, and I must go find him to settle the score!"
In this way, amidst the bumps, the off-road vehicle worked with high intensity, vibrating wildly all the way up.
"Just think of it as a massage~" Hoshino Sora turned to Xiaolan and Conan and said.
"Forgive me~" Conan's voice was trembling as he spoke, and he could hardly hold on.
I don't know how long it took, but it felt like a century to Conan. Just when he wanted to take a rest, the car suddenly slowed down.
"Hey, it's finally the end!" Hoshino Sora's voice came from the front.
"Finally there is a decent road~" Xiaolan actually felt like she was surviving a disaster. She looked out the window and said, "Ah, it's raining. Didn't the weather forecast say it will be sunny today?"
Looking at the patter of rain outside, she had a vague feeling that she couldn't hold it back.
"This is no longer Dong'an, Sister Xiaolan." Conan also looked out the window on one side, looking at the oppressive sky covered with dark clouds. Through the patter of rain, he saw the brightly lit mountains on the hilltop not far away. A building suddenly said happily, "It seems like this is really a shortcut. The Dusk Pavilion should be on that hilltop."
Kaito glanced at it and said: "It looks really eerie and scary. It doesn't have the meaning of dusk at all, but it looks a bit like the villa where Sui... lives in."
"Dad, don't scare me!" Xiaolan couldn't help but press close to Conan. Through Conan's window, she saw the Dusk Pavilion shrouded in shadows but emitting dim light, and she couldn't help but feel terrified. , "By the way, A Kong, you said before that this is a haunted house, right?"
"Well, legend has it that a murder occurred there." Hoshino Sora nodded, "But as for the legend, just listen to it. Legend has it that Newton discovered gravity because he was hit by an apple. Most of these are not credible."
"That's right, Xiaolan, you are too timid. Fortunately, you still practice karate. If you encounter any monsters, just use karate to defeat them all." Kaito said seriously.
"Stop joking, how can you beat him in karate? Weird!" Xiaolan shouted loudly.
"Karate..." Hoshino Sora thought about how he could perform karate like fireballs. He wondered if he could defeat monsters. If he had a chance, he would ask the uncle.
"Okay, okay, I'm not joking with you anymore. This is the East, there will definitely be no smokers!" Kaito vowed, "Even if there are, there will only be mountains in these barren mountains. Witch mother-in-law, hahahaha~"
"Hey, uncle, stop laughing, brake or turn the steering wheel quickly, there's someone in front of you blocking the road!" The sharp-eyed Hoshino Sora had already noticed an old lady holding an umbrella standing in the middle of the road dozens of meters outside.
Kaito also sensed something was wrong through the illumination of the low beam headlights, and quickly stepped on the brakes. Under the influence of inertia and the slippery road surface, the car slid straight for a while, almost hitting the old lady.
After the car stopped, Xiaolan raised her head and looked out the front windshield. She suddenly let out a soprano scream. Conan was the first to bear the brunt and couldn't help but cover his ears.
Kaito also raised his head and saw clearly who was coming. He was no better than Xiaolan, and he exclaimed: "Grandma the mountain demon has appeared!"
"It seems not, she has a shadow, and there is a car parked in front." Hoshino Sora said.
At this time, the old lady walked to the side of the driver's seat and said calmly: "Isn't it too rude for you to call a woman you meet for the first time like this?"
"Uh... I'm sorry." Kaito was embarrassed for a while and complained in his heart. You are standing alone in the middle of the road in the dark, under the illumination of the low beam headlights. Can I not misunderstand you?
The old lady came to take a ride because her car broke down, and her destination happened to be the Twilight Pavilion.
"Old lady, are you going to the Twilight Pavilion too?" Hoshino Sora turned his head in surprise after helping the old lady carry her luggage to the car, and looked up and down at the old lady sitting next to Conan, "Could it be said that you are the Twilight Pavilion?" The current owner of the museum? It can’t be that way, you are also a detective, right?”
The old lady wore a pair of small round glasses and a gray round hat. She looked like a lady. Although she was old, she exuded a sense of confidence.
After she got in the car, she read a book. After hearing Hoshino Sora's words, she raised her head slightly and said calmly: "This little brother, to borrow a sentence from the principal of our small town primary school, a successful person will never One can make conclusions based on appearance alone, let alone a detective who relies on reasoning..."
"Huh?" Hoshino Sora blinked and said in surprise, "So, you are really a detective? At this age, you are still a female detective..."
"Could it be that the famous senior detective in the detective world, Ms. Senjian Dedai, is the one who can solve the case by sitting in an easy chair and listening to others describe the case!" Xiaolan on one side exclaimed.
"Well, I am Senjian Yoyo." Senjian Yoyo nodded, "Kogoro, who is sleeping with your father, is a detective just like Watson in normal times."
Conan was secretly surprised that another detective came. Did the House of Dusk summon many detectives?
"By the way, Ms. Senjian, you also received the invitation letter?" Hoshino Sora asked curiously, "So, what are you doing by inviting us detectives over? It's not as simple as having a dinner, right?"
"Of course, but what you want to do depends on what the host who sent the invitation has to say. Anyway, it's coming soon, and the mystery is about to be revealed." Qian Jian said.
"That's right. It's dark today and I'm hungry. I want to eat hot pot. On this rainy day, it would be great to have hot pot to warm up!" Hoshino Sora immediately put the matter behind him. , enjoyed dinner, started to salivate, then quickly tore a pack of protein powder and poured it into his mouth.
"You're right. I just want to drink as much as I want. I've been driving for a day and it's really impossible to relieve my fatigue without drinking a little bit!" Kaito looked like he was possessed by Maori, as if he was suffering from the alcohol bug.
Xiaolan felt a little uncomfortable when she heard about the drink. She closed her legs tightly and asked Kaito in a low voice: "Dad, how long will it take?"
"It's coming, it's coming, don't be impatient, you can't eat hot tofu if you're impatient." Mouri Kogoro said with a smile.
"To borrow another sentence from the principal of our small town's primary school, if you want to succeed, you must seize the opportunity! Miss, why don't you stop at the gas station before and make it convenient?" Senjian Dedai Said with a smile.
Xiaolan looked embarrassed and hesitated: "I didn't feel it at that time... Then I ate something and drank a bottle of drink, so now..."
