Ye Gengyi hesitated for a moment, and before he could go upstairs to investigate the situation, he saw Kuroba Kaito running out with a panic expression on his face, as if something was chasing him behind him.
Before they figure out the situation, the two of them can't take off their vests.
Ye Gengyi took a step forward and stopped Kuroba Kaito. After confirming that there was no obvious trauma on the opponent's body, he hurriedly asked: "Kudo, what's wrong with you?"
Beside him, the puppy Taijun, who had not returned home for a long time, also looked puzzled, "Mr. Kudo, are you... okay?"
"me..."
Kuroba Kaito seemed to be still a little shaken.
Ye Gengyi frowned. After hearing the movement on the stairs, he quickly looked up and saw the housekeeper who had brought Kuroba Kaito upstairs, looking this way with confusion on his face.
It's not the imaginary chase scene, so...what happened?
Kuroba Kaito took a deep breath, "There are fishes in that room..."
What?
"What's in the room?" Taijun the dog didn't hear clearly.
"There are fish," Kuroba Kaito said.
"Where are the fishes?" The puppy Taijun was surprised.
"In the room." Kuroba Kaito said.
"Why are there fish in the room?" asked Taijun the dog.
"..." Kuroba Kaito was speechless.
"Why are you making so much noise so early in the morning?"
At this time, a woman in her thirties, wearing a loose light pink bathrobe, walked down the handrail and appeared in front of the stairs on the second floor.
Through the other party's exposed skin and figure, as well as this arrogant tone, Ye Gengyi could basically tell that this young woman with skin as smooth as gelatin and a graceful figure was most likely the stepmother of Xiaoquan's family.
Afterwards, the conversation between puppy Taijun and the man confirmed his suspicion.
The young woman had a slightly impatient tone. After seeing a few people in the hall, she smiled and said, "Taijun, when did you come back."
"The flight is early this morning." Taijun the puppy replied.
"Why didn't I listen to what you said in advance? Someone should be sent to pick you up at the airport."
The puppy Taijun did not answer, but glanced at the other party indifferently: "Is father still resting? How is his health?"
Hearing this, the young woman's expression suddenly became much sadder, "Sigh... My master's health is not very good..."
As she spoke, she seemed to want to change the topic, and her eyes fell on Ye Gengyi and Kuroba Kaito, "Are these two friends of Taijun?"
The little dog Taijun didn't seem to have any intention of explaining, but responded calmly, "Yes, friend."
The young woman looked embarrassed, and after seeing that no one had any intention of speaking, she just found an excuse and turned around to leave.
After she left, Xiaoquan Taijun simply introduced: "Xiaoquan Huibian, my father's second wife."
After a Japanese woman marries, her surname will be changed to her husband's surname. Therefore, Ye Gengyi cannot get any valuable information from this name, but of course it is not nothing.
First of all, there is no doubt that they are involved in a feud between wealthy families. From the ages of Xiao Inu Taijun and his eldest brother Xiao Inu Taicheng, it is not difficult to judge that their father is at least sixty years old.
Of course, Ye Gengyi will not make any assumptions about whether this powerful man and his first wife abide by the juvenile law.
No wonder the little dog Taijun feels unhappy. Thinking about it, she is almost ten years older than this stepmother. You didn't marry her for money, but you married her because she doesn't want to take a shower because she is too old?
However, even if the issue of age is put aside, physical condition is also the trigger for conflicts.
The young and beautiful wife, the master who is seriously ill in bed, the family heirs gathered together for various reasons, a sudden scream at the banquet...
Well, Ye Gengyi just wants to know when that master... will die.
Of course, if you think so, you still need to understand some basic situations first.
The atmosphere in the field also became slightly silent because of the appearance of the puppy Huibian.
It is obviously unwise to ask the other person directly about their family affairs.
So, Ye Gengyi took up the original topic: "What's in the room? How could you be so frightened by the fish?"
He was not surprised by Yu's answer, and his first thought at the time was that this kid Kaito was acting like a monster again.
However, after seeing that the other party's expression didn't seem to be fake, he quickly ruled out this possibility.
In other words, Kuroba Kaito came into close contact with the fish in that room, and frightened him so much that he ran out regardless of his image.
When it comes to this topic, Taejun the dog is obviously very curious.
Noticing the gazes between the two people, Kuroba Kaito said very depressedly: "I didn't expect that the master in this old castle was so rich that he actually transformed the room into an aquarium."
...
Second floor, room, blue ocean.
This is a cubic room of approximately more than 200 square meters. Because the floor and walls are almost made of glass, even Ye Gengyi cannot judge the overall area of the house through visual inspection at the first time.
The furniture in the house comes in different colors, but all of them imitate the layout of underwater corals, rock formations, seaweed... and the like.
At this moment, the previous housekeeper came over again and said, "Master, I'm awake. I heard that the master is at home and wants to see you."
The puppy Taijun nodded and looked at the two of them, "I'll go over and take a look first. You guys wait a moment."
"Okay." Ye Geng nodded, watched the puppy Taijun and the housekeeper leave, and continued to enjoy the view of the room.
Seeing Ye Geng's serious look, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but said, "Brother...what's so good about fish?"
"Then what are you looking at?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"Of course it's the diamond inherited by their family!" Kuroba Kaito lowered his voice, "If my guess is correct, it is in the master's room."
"That's smart, but now is not the time." Ye Geng said.
"Ah?" Kuroba Kaito was startled, maybe he already had a plan to steal diamonds.
Ye Gengyi: "Your face has a BUFF bonus. Maybe it won't take long before we can see the diamond."
"hehe..."
Kuroba Kaito thought he was referring to his identity as Kaitou Kidd and didn't care at all.
But he didn't want to stay in this room for a second longer.
"Brother, go on, I'll go outside to get some fresh air..."
"Wait a minute," Ye Gengyi stopped him, "I observed it when I came here. The owner of this old castle is very conservative. Except for a few servants equipped with walkie-talkies, there is not even a camera in any corner. I accidentally said We don’t know when it will happen, but the most taboo thing now is for two people to separate."
"Huh? Accident?" Kuroba Kaito was surprised.
"Why, isn't it obvious enough?" Ye Gengyi reminded: "This party is not an ordinary party, or someone's birthday, but Xiao Quan Taijun, the boss of an international company, still rushed back. , I’m afraid, the master of this castle is about to pass away.”
