"I advise you to leave as soon as possible!"
A woman's sharp voice suddenly came from the other side of the door.
Several people looked at it together.
I saw a middle-aged woman with curly hair who looked about fifty years old walking in.
As a woman, she is very tall. If you ignore the high heels and just observe visually, she is only one head shorter than Ye Geng.
"Look at her, look at her...it's about to start again."
The twins covered their ears in an exaggerated manner. Before they could complain, the woman abnormally stopped her mouth that was about to chatter.
Obviously, the appearance of Ye Gengyi and Hattori Heiji was something she didn't expect.
"Hey, you are... the new heirs?"
It is better to clarify this misunderstanding as soon as possible...
Hattori Heiji made a judgment and explained: "No, we are detectives invited by Mr. England."
"detective?"
The woman narrowed her eyes, took two steps forward and suddenly shouted:
"There is nothing to investigate here! Get out of here quickly. If you don't want to die, leave now!"
Ye Gengyi and Hattori Heiji were fine, but the twin brothers closer to the door were startled.
"Oh! God, it's snowing outside. You're such a crazy person!"
"Yeah, yeah, crazy!"
The woman directly ignored the twin brothers and continued to shout in a tone that was sharp enough to pierce the eardrums, "Everyone in the castle has died long ago. If you don't leave, sooner or later you will become the next one!"
"Okay, we know this."
Ye Gengyi followed the other person's topic and asked, "But those people you mentioned, how did they die?"
"Of course it was..."
"Miss England, so you are here."
Another voice sounded from the other side of the door.
What came was a young man with a standard Asian face. He looked to be in his thirties, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and wearing gold-rimmed glasses on his left eye.
Seeing Ye Gengyi and others looking at him, he responded with a warm smile very gentlemanly.
If you have to interpret this expression...
To put it simply: in other stories, if he was not the first to be killed, he would be the real culprit behind the scenes.
Hattori Heiji also had a bad sense of this man.
However, compared to the baseless 'first impression', the name the other party just called made him care more.
England?
Is it the last name of this crazy-looking woman?
So what is her relationship with her employer, Mr. England?
I had doubts in my heart, and with the temperament of a certain black man, I naturally wanted to find an opportunity to ask.
"Two detectives, I happened to hear your previous introduction," the young man walked forward with a smile, stretched out his hand to Hattori Heiji, and whispered: "My name is Sashou Otou, and I am the lawyer hired by Miss England. "
lawyer?
"Uh, my name is Hattori Heiji, he is..."
"Kudo Shinichi." Ye Gengyi said.
"Cough..." Hattori Heiji couldn't help but coughed dryly, looking a little weird.
By the way, isn’t the adaptation game over yet? If it doesn't end, he won't be able to adapt...
"Okay, Mr. Hattori and Mr. Kudo," Samobi shook hands with the two of them respectively, and continued to lower his voice, "I think you can see that my employer, Miss England, is in a very bad mental state, so Could you please both of you not to mention matters related to Mr. England in front of her?"
Hearing this, Hattori Heiji hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, we are here specifically to see Mr. England..."
"Feel sorry..."
Sashou Yi bowed slightly, "I know it's difficult to do this, but Mr. England is missing."
it is as expected...
Hear this expected answer.
Hattori Heiji still wanted to make a tacit exchange of glances with Ye Genichi, but after turning his head and seeing that the other party had no intention of doing so, he had no choice but to omit this step angrily.
He was embarrassed for a moment, "Missing? What's that about?"
"Sorry, I'm not sure about this."
"I would like to ask, what is the relationship between your employer and Mr. England..."
"Adoptive father and daughter." Zuo Shouyi said.
"Then when she said everyone was dead, she meant..."
"Mrs. Engham unfortunately fell off a cliff and died when she was taking her to climb a mountain a few years ago. Later, the lady became like this. A few days ago, after Mr. England disappeared mysteriously, the lady dismissed almost all the servants in the castle. That’s why people are so suspicious now.”
"So this is ah..."
Hattori Heiji wanted to continue asking.
At this time, Ye Gengyi suddenly answered: "Heiji, since the client is missing, it is better to leave the rest to the police. We have no reason to irritate his daughter, right?"
He paused, looked at the lawyer and said, "But can you let us stay overnight? Look at the snow outside, and it's getting dark."
"Of course it's no problem." Zuo Shouyi said, "When I came here, I saw the old housekeeper going to the kitchen. After dinner, he will prepare the guest room for you two."
...
Everyone ate the dinner in silence.
But when it comes to communication, in front of this long table of more than ten meters, everyone can almost only talk about their own things.
After meal.
The two twin brothers remained in the restaurant and refused to leave.
They stubbornly believed that if Mr. Engham was hiding in the castle, he would definitely be hungry and come to dine.
In this regard, not only Ye Genichi and Hattori Heiji, but also the adopted daughter who had been nagging seemed to be too lazy to yell at them.
The old housekeeper waiting aside had already prepared the key to the guest room.
Through the corridor, he led the four people to the area on the east side of the first floor of the castle.
The guest room is just around the corner.
The rooms of Miss England and Sashou Yi are even further inside.
Saying goodbye to the two of them in the corridor,
After Hattori Heiji stepped into the room, he finally couldn't help but said: "Saraichi-nii! Do you just want to stay like this for one night, and then we leave in despair tomorrow?"
"if not?"
Ye Gengyi said, and after extending his index finger towards him to make a silencing gesture, he didn't have time to check the room and directly pulled the black man into the bathroom.
The faucets in the simple castle were not retro, and with the sound of rushing water hitting the marble pool, Ye Gengyi lowered his voice and said: "Why, I still haven't received the 2 million commission fee. "
"Well..."
In an instant, Hattori Heiji was filled with emotions. He was silent for a moment and asked: "So Saraichi-nii...were you wary of someone when you said that just now?"
"It's not a precaution, it's a test." Ye Geng said, "It may be more dangerous here than on the train."
What? !
Hattori Heiji was shocked.
It's not because of the potential danger, but...
"Testing? When, why didn't I see it?"
"That's when I interrupted you and asked him if he could stay at the castle for the night."
Ye Geng said:
"Even though it was difficult to refuse such a reasonable request, he did not ask his employer for his opinion. Instead, he agreed without hesitation. This subconscious move contained a lot of information..."
"Ah!" Hattori Heiji suddenly realized, "Brother Sarada, you mean to say that the lawyer is very likely to have controlled Miss England, who has a mental problem..."
"Or," Ye Gengyi continued: "She said that someone was killed in the castle, it is true."
