"Oh, I have nothing to say, the gourmet detective really deserves his reputation!
I didn’t expect that your cooking skills are so good! "
After dinner, Mouri Kogoro looked at Ogami Zhushan next to him with admiration.
After everyone changed their seats, they all carefully wiped the tableware with paper towels. Obviously they didn't dare to bet whether the owner of the annex would touch the tableware.
Facing Maori Kogoro's praise, Ogami Zhushan smiled, "No, in order to satisfy my tongue, which is not easy to please, of course I have to work harder on cooking."
Ikumi Gunda, who was sitting not far away, took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth gracefully, and then said lightly: "It seems that we were all worried too much just now."
In response, Motegi Harushi shook his head, "You are wrong, it's hard to say now!"
At this moment, the robot who had not spoken for a long time suddenly spoke.
"Everyone has eaten enough! Are you still satisfied with the last supper I prepared?"
Hearing the voice coming from the loudspeaker, Motegi Haruhi shrugged, "Look, the protagonist has spoken!"
Then I heard the robot continue to say: "Now we can get back to business. You must be curious as to why I want to use this annex that cost a huge amount of money as the stage for this game!
First of all, I would like to ask you to carefully look at each tableware placed in your hands. "
Everyone picked up the tableware and looked at it carefully.
Among them, Xiaolan looked at the handle of the spoon with some confusion, "On it... there is a bird with a very big beak. The whole pattern looks creepy."
Mouri Kogoro on the side said: "The carving on this should be a crow!"
Qianjian Shengdai seemed to have thought of something, "If you put it this way, could this be..."
Before she could finish her words, another voice came from the loudspeaker.
"Now you understand, that is the family crest of the mysterious billionaire Renya Karasuma who died about half a century ago."
"Karasu... Karasuma Renya!"
Mouri Kogoro on the side was obviously very surprised by this name.
Even Shirakawa Yuki had a strange feeling when she heard this name.
Naturally, Renye Karasuma would not feel strange to her. Although she had never really seen his appearance, she had only been separated by a room door recently.
She was able to obtain a code name at such a young age. In addition to her outstanding talent, she was also inseparable from the respect of that gentleman!
I usually call him Mr. or BOSS, but now it feels a little strange to hear his name suddenly.
Speaking of which, Dusk Annex, Tottori Prefecture, is not that far away!
He shook his head, stopped thinking about this, and continued to listen.
"Except for the tableware here, every door, floor, handrail, and even the chess sets and playing card patterns in the hall are all custom-made by him.
In other words, this annex is the villa built by Karasuma, but this has become history, because forty years ago, a tragic incident occurred in this annex. "
The rain kept falling without stopping, and lightning flashed across the night sky, illuminating the mountain villa instantly.
That moment of paleness added a strange atmosphere to this dusk villa.
In the room, everyone continued to listen to the sound coming from the loudspeaker.
"Every famous detective must have discovered that this annex was stained with a large amount of blood in various forms when they entered this annex.
Yes, that is what this annex, which is still breathtakingly beautiful today, was left one night forty years ago. "
As he told it, everyone learned about the story from forty years ago. As for whether it was correct, no one knew. Let's just assume that what he said was true.
Forty years ago, this villa once convened celebrities from all political and economic circles for a secret meeting.
On the surface, it was to express the memory of Renya Karasuma, who passed away at the age of 99, but this secret meeting was actually an auction for the art collected by Renya Karasuma during his lifetime.
Because of the large collection, the auction is expected to last three days and three nights.
However, on a stormy night the next day, two men, all wet from the rain, came to the annex. They hoped to take shelter from the rain in the annex.
The auction organizer originally wanted to refuse, but the man took out a bag of something like cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to the organizer.
After smoking, the organizer suddenly changed his mind and invited the two of them into the annex.
Later, under the man's seduction, everyone in the annex smoked their cigarettes. Before long, the annex was filled with a strong smell of smoke.
After hearing this, everyone also understood the true identity of the so-called cigarettes-marijuana.
Things continued. Although some guests initially argued over the two men, the situation suddenly changed.
A man suddenly screamed like a ghost, dropped the item he had finally won, and ran out.
There was a woman who seemed to be begging someone for forgiveness. Tears welled up in her eyes and she couldn't stop them.
There was also a man with an excited look on his face, holding a pen and stabbing his wrist repeatedly.
At the end, all the guests began to snatch the art objects present, and even started to kill each other with famous knives and swords that were auctioned.
The entire auction venue became a hell on earth. After this night, eight dead people and a dozen guests who were in coma were lying in the auction venue.
As for the two men, they disappeared with all the artwork.
After hearing about this tragedy that happened forty years ago, Mouri Kogoro was a little confused.
"It's strange. Why was such a big case not reported in the news back then?"
Zhu Shan, the elder on the side, said in a low voice: "I'm afraid the problem lies within that group of guests!"
Mouri Kogoro was a little puzzled.
Dashang Zhushan explained: "Because those people were all related to celebrities in the political and economic circles at that time."
Qianjian Fangdai agreed with him, "This makes sense. Instead of letting the world know that they were set up by two guys of unknown origin..."
Detective Baima said with a straight face: "Rather than spending so much time investigating the case to get to the bottom of it, it's better to suppress the entire case and retain their status in society."
Motegi Harushi on the side sneered, "I think those two men have already thought of such a result!"
Gunda Ikumi nodded, "You're right, but this old memory can really increase our appetite!"
As she finished speaking, Ishihara Aki walked in with a pot of black tea.
The voice sounded again from the loudspeaker, "Now you should know why I chose this annex as the stage this time!
My purpose is to let you detectives re-enact the tragic tragedy forty years ago.
I want to see how ugly you are in killing each other for the sake of treasure. "
Dashang Zhushan curled his lips and said, "Tch, it's really boring."
Not paying attention to his complaints, the robot continued: "However, searching for treasure in such a large villa is like finding a needle in a haystack, so I'll give you another reminder."
"hint?"
Xiaolan looked over with some doubts.
Just listen to a message slowly coming from the loudspeaker.
"The two travelers were in a hurry and looked up at the sky at night. Suddenly, the devil descended on the castle.
The king took the treasure and fled.
The princess shed tears and poured down the Holy Grail, praying for God's mercy.
The soldier was so angry that he killed himself with his sword, and the color of the earth changed. "
After hearing this, Xiaolan was a little surprised, "This is not what happened just now..."
Just listen to the robot say: "Don't you think this poem is a perfect way to describe the story that is about to happen in this annex?"
Gunda Ikumi mocked: "Don't be stupid. In addition to killing each other, it depends on who the opponent is. First of all, we also have to have that intention."
The robot also said: "Of course, but none of you can even think about quitting this game. This is because you have already been deceived by the magic I used, so you have no way to escape."
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard what he said. Only Shirakawa Yuki still looked uninterested.
"Now just wait for one of you to scream for the first time, and this game of wisdom will begin.
Listen up, whoever finds the treasure must enter the location of the treasure into the computer in the room on the fourth floor of the Central Tower.
When the time comes, I will tell the winner half of the treasure and the way to leave this place as agreed. "
"ah!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Motegi Haruhi screamed and fell backwards, clutching his throat.
