Ye Gengyi and Kuroba Kaito were sitting in the back row. They could feel that when the words 'Kudo Shinichi' and 'Detective' appeared, the other party did not have any obvious emotions.
The middle-aged man was just chatting with the two of them while driving, just like at the beginning.
"I almost forgot to introduce you," the middle-aged man smiled and patted his shiny forehead, and said, "My name is Xiaoquan Taijun. This time I am going to the castle to attend a party. I see that you two have extraordinary conversation. If you don't If you mind, how about making a friend?"
"Of course, no problem." Ye Gengyi agreed simply.
After all, wearing a vest means being practical.
So, in the next journey.
Ye Gengyi not only packaged himself and Kuroba Kaito as a pair of partners who had just returned from solving crimes abroad, but also told the story of the castle on the mountain named Soyanani and the story from the puppy Taijun. During the banquet, diamond information may be displayed.
As for this middle-aged man named Xiao Quan Taijun, he is indeed in his forties, forty-three to be precise. He is an international businessman, mainly engaged in the ore business. He is back to attend the banquet this time. The purpose was very simple, just to see who would end up with the diamond ring representing the head of the Xiaoquan family.
Family dinner...
Just this bit of information allowed Ye Gengyi to outline a drama of brothers killing each other and fighting flesh and blood.
For a moment, he suddenly regretted letting Kuroba Kaito appear wearing a "Reaper"-sized vest...
However, this kid didn't bring a disguise, and he didn't say he was Kudo Shinichi with this face. It was a big loss.
Just as he was thinking about it, another word from the puppy Taijun brought him back from his thoughts, "It's almost there."
Ye Gengyi and Kuroba Kaito looked to one side through the glass of the car window.
At the top of the mountain path, you can clearly see the castle walls.
After the car went around a few more turns, the center of gravity gradually returned to a stable position, and the speed of the car began to slow down a lot.
Finally, the castle appeared directly in front of the windshield.
The gate of the castle was open, and the puppy Taijun did not get out of the car, but drove directly in.
There was no parking lot in the design concept of the castle, so after a few people got off the bus at the main entrance, they were quickly greeted by a man dressed as a butler.
The man looked about the same age as Xiaoquan Taijun, but his hair was much thicker than the former's. "Master Xiaoquan Taijun, you are here."
"Well, I'm sorry for the butler." Taijun the dog handed over the key and turned to greet Ye Gengyi and Kuroba Kaito, "Come on, come in quickly, I'll give you a tour. I think the others must not have arrived as early as me. !”
The basis for his judgment was simple. When he walked around the castle just now, he did not find a second car.
result...
"Taejun!"
Not long after he finished speaking, another person walked out of the castle again.
Puppy Taijun: "..."
"What's wrong, brother? You had this expression after seeing me appear."
"It turns out to be Brother Taicheng, when did you come?"
"Last night, my father didn't like the car crushing his floor, so I asked the secretary to drive the car back to the city." The puppy Taicheng said, suddenly paused and said, "I wonder who these are?"
"Oh, let me introduce you." Xiaogu Taijun said, "This is Mr. Kudo Shinichi, and the person next to him is his assistant John Watson."
"Ku... Kudo Shinichi?" The puppy Yasunari was obviously startled.
"Hello." Kuroba Kaito greeted politely.
Ye Gengyi said nothing, but nodded calmly towards the visitor.
"I don't know if you and the high school detective are..." Xiao Inu Taicheng hesitated.
"That's me." Kuroba Kaito adjusted his hair and imitated the standard smile like the newspaper photos he had seen before.
"Their car broke down in the mountains, and they happened to meet me," the puppy Taijun explained: "Didn't my father always say that we should be kind to others? I just happened to have many friends back today, but... I really don't know, this This little brother is so famous."
"Kudo Shinichi..." As he said this, Xiao Inu Taijun chanted the name twice more and said with emotion: "Sure enough, I have been out for too long and lost touch with the news."
"No, you're really flattering me. This is all the bragging of those outside. I'm just a detective with some luck." Kuroba Kaito was humble for others without hesitation.
"Haha..." Xiao Quan Taicheng smiled and said without comment, "Butler, help this detective friend prepare a set of clean clothes."
As he said that, he looked at Ye Gengyi's formal tuxedo again, hesitated for a moment, and said nothing.
"Yes, young master. Sir, come with me." The housekeeper, who had just parked the car for the puppy Taijun, quickly took Kuroba Kaito into the house to pick out clothes.
"Go, don't be too fussy, especially don't write any warning letters or anything like that." Ye Geng turned around and patted Kuroba Kaito on the shoulder. His expression still looked warm, but the warning flashed in his eyes was still there. It made a certain phantom thief feel excited.
This kid is very naughty. It's hard to say whether he sent Kaito Kid's costume in advance or if Terai Khonosuke found an opportunity.
The reason why he didn't want Kuroba Kaito to send out a warning letter was simple. Doing so would easily lead events that might have clues about 'Pluto' to Kaitou Kidd.
"Oh, I got it." Kuroba Kaito responded in a low voice, then trotted to follow the butler.
"I'm so sorry that I have to borrow your clothes." Ye Gengyi still couldn't find his train of thought and could only chat casually.
The castle looked calm, but there was no telling how turbulent it was inside.
Moreover, the reaction of Inu Yasunari after hearing the name Kudou Shinichi just now was too suspicious.
"Mr. Watson, you are too polite. You are a guest." Taijun the dog smiled and continued the topic, "Let me show you around the castle."
Ye Geng nodded and followed the puppy Taijun in.
The hall on the first floor of the castle is very spacious, but it does not have three huge portraits like the Mamiya family.
Ye Gengyi's impression was quite obvious. The owner's family was very elegant and clean, and there were many servants here.
Let’s not talk about the furniture that is displayed in an orderly manner.
Just saying that the crystal chandelier hanging high above the head can still maintain a spotless and clear appearance can explain a lot of problems.
To be honest, regardless of whether it is gorgeous or not, in this kind of clean environment that is not pure white, it can indeed make people feel a lot of comfort physically and mentally.
Before meeting the owner of the puppy, an image of an elderly man with a Chinese character face, a mustache, and sharp eyes appeared in Ye Gengyi's mind.
ah! ! !
However, before he could outline more information, a rather familiar scream interrupted his train of thought.
Ye Geng was stunned.
Why does it look like that guy Kuroba Kaito...
