"If I can scare you, it means the person who built this villa is very powerful." Ye Geng commented.
"Haha, old...teacher, if you are so honest, you will be criticized."
Kuroba Kaito shrugged, not hiding that something was wrong with his mood just now.
"Let's go, we'll study the mirror thing later, and get familiar with the layout of the villa first." Ye Gengyi greeted, turned around and embarked on the journey of exploration again.
The two of them walked around the corridor without opening any other doors, and soon arrived at the original entrance hall.
That's where the strange mirror ball is placed.
Open the front door and look outside.
The originally overcast sky had already begun to rain heavily.
"In this situation, it's impossible not to stay." Ye Gengyi said.
"Brother, you don't plan to leave anyway, do you?" Kuroba Kaito whispered.
"Well, I originally thought that I would meet a few familiar faces after coming here, but now it seems that I was wrong. Let's look around again..." Ye Gengyi said.
The cell phone signal is still not blocked, and he can contact the outside world at any time.
After seeing Nakamori Ginzo's obsession with Kaitou Kidd, Ye Gengyi had no doubt that as long as he called the police from the Second Investigation Division, the villa would be surrounded by helicopters in less than half a day.
Completed one level of exploration.
Ye Gengyi and Kuroba Kaito walked along the stairs to the second and third floors of the annex.
Except for 10 rooms that are locked and cannot be opened.
The two of them basically knew the location of the entire villa, including the living room, dining room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, storage room, and study room.
Generally speaking, each layer can be divided into two areas.
In the corridor extending to the west from the staircase, the rooms on the north and south sides can be opened; on the other hand, on both sides of the corridor extending to the east, not only are the lights dim, but the doors on the north and south sides are all locked.
In fact, this is not a problem at all for the two unlocking experts.
But Ye Gengyi not only did not do this, but also blocked a certain phantom thief's curiosity.
"There's no rush. Since my name is on the invitation, things can't be too extreme. If the situation develops for the worst and conflicts break out at this time, it won't be convenient for the helicopter to come here on a rainy day..."
Why did the helicopter come? ? ?
Kuroba Kaito had a question mark on his head.
I have an inexplicable feeling that this is not a good sign...
…
After the two of them finished their meal in the kitchen, they returned to the living room on the first floor.
The woman named Urashima Motoka in the room has left.
"She seems to have eaten these dishes, is it okay?" Kuroba Kaito glanced at the food on the table.
"If there was a problem, we would come in and see a body on the ground."
Ye Gengyi lay on the sofa, closed his eyes and rested, and said: "Don't worry about her, she dares to stay in such a scary villa, she doesn't look scared at all, and she even talks to us two strange men... Come to think of it. That woman is not simple either.”
"Okay, bro, you have a point."
Kuroba Kaito moved a chair over and sat down, "Then are we just going to wait like this?"
"You can help me analyze the problem with that invitation letter."
Ye Gengyi said: "Although the housekeeper's words explained why Baima Tan was not the owner here but could invite me over, but why did he lose contact..."
"Well……"
Kuroba Kaito pondered for a moment, "I really still can't figure out the fact that he lost contact, but now it seems that the invitation letter may actually be sent to you, brother."
"Huh? How to say it."
Ye Geng turned his head and opened his eyes, assuming a listening position.
He didn't have much contact with Detective Baima, and lacked sufficient intelligence support, so he really couldn't make too accurate an inference.
"Because that guy is a narcissist."
Kuroba Kaito said: "Brother, your personality should be the one he is least good at dealing with, so he has been eyeing you since we met at Dusk Annex last time. Although he accidentally detected it this time This [Strange House], but calls you directly, if he is rejected... He will definitely be awkward for a long time, so I simply send you an invitation letter, brother, whether you accept the invitation or not, it will not It affects his mood."
"...Purely tsundere?"
Ye Gengyi was silent for a moment, "As for that, I'm not familiar with him."
"Haha, brother, I'm not familiar with you and you keep asking people to scream and call the Metropolitan Police Department..."
Kuroba Kaito squinted, "If we get to know each other, will I be like me and accompany you to do that kind of inhumane scientific research?"
"That's called dedicating one's life to scientific research. Your consciousness is so poor." Ye Gengyi closed his eyes again, indicating that the listening time was over.
"hehe……"
Kuroba Kaito laughed dryly and did not answer the topic. He lowered his voice and continued: "In short, that guy Hakuba has this character. He is like this because he can't always catch me and has been tricked by me a few times. Persevering in pursuit, brother, I bet that if you meet him a few more times, a young master like him who has never suffered a loss since he was a child will definitely come after you!"
What kind of "overbearing detective" is this?
Ye Gengyi sighed, "Then you mean, we can leave directly after the rain stops?"
"do not."
Kuroba Kaito was startled, "You're already here, at least let's investigate."
"Oh, let's wait until night." Ye Gengyi said.
…
6pm.
The familiar 'tuk-tuk' knock sounded.
After Ye Gengyi said "Please come in".
The housekeeper once again pushed the dining cart and delivered the meal.
Ye Gengyi was still on the sofa, but changed from lying to sitting.
Under his instruction, Kuroba Kaito hid behind the curtain in advance.
However, just like she didn't ask Urashima Motoka why she came to this room at noon, she still didn't ask about the whereabouts of Kuroba Kaito. Her behavior was exactly the same as what she said, and she seemed to really care about her. He doesn't care whether his guests come or stay.
It was still a pleasantries.
Unlike at noon, the housekeeper gave very considerate suggestions, saying that after the meal, you could go to the corridor and choose a bedroom to rest. Of course, there was a reminder not to go out after 9 o'clock.
"Okay, thank you."
Ye Geng nodded at the same time.
Suddenly there was a jingling doorbell in the corridor.
The housekeeper's hand visibly pacing the plates paused.
Ye Gengyi stood up pretending to be surprised and said, "Huh? Maybe it's raining too much outside, and my student is back again. Let me go take a look."
With that said, he left the room without waiting for the housekeeper's reaction.
The chandelier in the main hall was not turned on.
Therefore, when viewed from a distance, the 2-meter-diameter mirror ball seems to be covered with a black cloth full of holes, vaguely reflecting only part of the light that seems to be swallowed up by the whirlpool.
However, the housekeeper did not follow.
Ye Gengyi slowed down his pace slightly, listening to the footsteps coming from the stairs while thinking.
...He is the very self-disciplined old housekeeper.
In the afternoon, when Ye Gengyi and Kuroba Kaito were checking the room, they saw each other wiping the mirror in a bedroom on the second floor.
Compared to the kind housekeeper, the old man's attitude was obviously much colder.
But it’s really strange. Even though the room we are in is much closer to the main hall, it is still this old man who is responsible for opening the door for guests...
Ye Gengyi adjusted his breathing frequency, habitually controlled his leg muscles and footholds, and kept every step without making the slightest sound.
Click, click, click...
In the quiet main hall.
Only the old man's slightly staggering footsteps echoed.
He walked to the entrance hall and opened the lock.
The old and heavy door slowly opened.
Wind blew in through the cracks in the door, along with the heavy rain hitting the eaves and the ground, and the empty, dark courtyard in front of me came into my eyes.
The old man was startled.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Ye Gengyi's calm and emotionless voice sounded from his side:
"Could it be...a ghost?" Your latest reading progress detected is "Chapter 986: Plans are always being adjusted."
