Since arriving at this villa, it can be said that there is a strange atmosphere exuding everywhere.
No, rather than saying it is strange, it would be more appropriate to describe it as weird.
Just when Qianjian Shengdai finished speaking, a flash of lightning just happened to light up outside the glass window that was soaked by the heavy rain.
Its dilapidated courtyard disappeared in everyone's sight for a moment, and then the face of the maid Aki Ishihara who had just entered the lounge was reflected on the glass window.
"Yeah!" Mao Lilan was startled again.
The maid bowed slightly and said, "Dinner is ready. My master is waiting for you in the restaurant."
"Oh? Is that guy who likes to act mysterious finally willing to show up?" Motegi Haruji cheered up and quietly looked at Ye Zangichi.
So what if you lose in billiards? Now it's detective time...
Thinking about it, he took the lead and followed the maid.
...
The dining room is located in the center of the corridor on the first floor, between the leisure room and the kitchen.
The maid pushed open the thick wooden door, revealing a very spacious rectangular room.
The room is very bright.
On the wall facing everyone, there is also a landscape painting in a simple frame.
Directly below the picture frame is a fireplace made of marble.
Because the weather wasn't cold enough, I couldn't hear the sound of firewood burning.
His eyes swept across the walls on both sides of the fireplace, where several arched display windows were cut out, in which ceramic vases without flowers were placed.
Beautiful, elegant, but lifeless.
I don’t know if the owner of the castle deliberately placed more than ten chandeliers hanging on the ceiling in this restaurant, whose overall style is more like a 'vampire castle', in order to make the chandelier hanging on the ceiling look less obtrusive. candlestick.
Generally speaking, the above-mentioned things should be the first thing everyone should observe when they come to this strange environment.
However, their eyes did not wander away for too long, and they all landed on the main seat of the dining table.
Because there is a person sitting there.
A man wearing a ghost mask.
"Welcome to my twilight villa. Please take your seats..."
His voice was sharp and hoarse, as if he were rubbing heavy metal against cement.
Nine sets of tableware, nine famous brands.
Not even a chopstick or a spoon was placed in front of the mysterious man who was brave enough to be the master.
At this time, Dashang Zhushan came in from outside and told the maid: "Dinner is ready, please go and deliver everything..."
Too sloppy...
Ye Gengyi couldn't help but glance at the gourmet detective. If the previous performance in the hall could still be said to be suspicious, then at this moment he was completely sure.
Can you cover it up to some extent?
With this IQ and a plan, and inviting so many detectives to participate?
So... there must be an accomplice.
"The reason why I invited you here today is to ask for your help in finding the treasure sleeping somewhere in this museum..."
At this time, the masked man on the main seat said again: "That is a huge wealth that has been accumulated for many years, so I have to find it even if I risk my life!"
Fight... desperately?
"Whose life?" Kuroba Kaito had a bad feeling.
This guy pretending to be himself must be preparing to do something dangerous!
Then the next second, a few muffled bangs were heard coming from outside.
"What... what is this sound?!" Dashang Zhushan quickly started the conversation.
"Is it thunder?" Ye Gengyi said.
The elder Zhu Shan was startled, and subconsciously blurted out, "What kind of thunder? This is obviously an explosion!"
"Oh, so you know." Ye Gengyi said.
"I..." Dashang Zhushan's expression froze and he secretly thought something was wrong.
This...this rhythm is wrong!
"Don't worry, I just want to restrict everyone's freedom of movement." Fortunately, the masked man had set a message in advance to temporarily relieve him, "I am always in the position of being chased by the police and your detectives, so this I want to change my taste for the first time and experience it from the perspective of a pursuer..."
"What...are you going to do?" Dashang Zhushan gritted his teeth and tried his best to create a strategizing image for the 'man behind the scenes'.
"I blew up the bridge leading here, so even if you have a car, you can't escape," the figure on the main seat continued in a harsh voice, "By the way, there is no phone here, not even a mobile phone. Out of reception range..."
"What? The phone is also..."
"What about the satellite phone?" This time, before Zhu Shan finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Ye Gengyi: "I guess you haven't prepared high-power signal shielding equipment. But even if you have, , as long as we look around in the annex, we can turn them off."
This time the mysterious man answered some questions that were wrong:
"Yes, so this is a survival game! I am willing to share the wealth with the person who finds the treasure, and I will also tell him how to escape from here... How about it? Are you interested? If so, then Stay and enjoy this last supper.”
"Not interested...but thanks for your cooperation, I have a chance to know how fast the approval process for the Metropolitan Police helicopter is."
Ye Gengyi said, and looked at Baima Tan and asked: "If you don't mind, when we call later, can you cooperate and let out two screams?"
White Horse Detective: "..."
This look of preparing to beat me up if I don't cooperate must be an illusion, right?
"Hey, wait a minute! Rather than that, we should figure out who this pretending organizer is!"
Dashang Zhushan was completely panicked.
What's his plan? What's his plan?
Also, what the hell is a satellite phone? Is this really something that ordinary people can have?
A certain gourmet detective felt that if he didn't do something, these people would really go home!
Thinking about it, he quickly stood up, pulled off the mysterious man's mask, revealing the mannequin underneath, and shouted angrily: "Damn it, you are actually doing such a trick!"
"Yeah, so let's just ignore him and go back directly." Ye Gengyi said and looked at Bai Ma Tan again.
"Ahem... I think it's better to stay and investigate first." A certain young master coughed twice and expressed his position.
After all, it would be too shameful to ask for help on the phone in any way...
Kuroba Kaito also noticed that his brother's starting point was a little off, and quickly corrected him, "Who...is the person who made such a prank?"
"Oops, the famous Mori Detective came here before he even knew who the inviter was..." Gunda Ikumi chuckled, "Isn't it written very clearly on the invitation letter?"
"The phantom of the abandoned son of God..." Motegi Harushi continued: "A phantom is a phantom, an illusory phantom that appears and disappears."
"What God abandoned, in the New Testament, refers to the goat...and the son of the goat is naturally the kid, that is, KID..."
Kaitou Kidd!
"Oh... isn't that guy always wanted by the police? Why don't we just call the police and let the police come here to catch him?"
Ye Gengyi said and looked at Bai Ma Tan again, "Although it is raining outside...but if there happens to be a victim with a certain social status, the police should come faster, right?"
White Horse Detective: "..."
So, do you really want to go back, or do you just want to hear me scream?
