"ah!"
Hattori Heiji let out a short exclamation, sat down on the ground, his pupils trembled a few times, and said in horror:
"Brother Gengyi, you...why are you in there?!"
So that voice, indeed it was...
Conan put his head around to take a look when he saw Ye Gengyi coming out of the secret passage.
Facing the cold gaze of a certain professor named Ye, Conan sweated:
"Brother Gengyi..."
"What's wrong? Little kid." Ye Gengyi responded calmly.
It's over, it's over... Conan was on the verge of tears. He put on a smile as much as possible and tried to change the topic to the investigation:
"Um...brother Gengyi, you...how did you find this secret passage?"
"Ahem, yes...Brother Gengyi."
Hattori Heiji laughed: "We were just wondering why you didn't come back after going to the bathroom for so long. It turns out you were going to investigate the secret passage."
Stupid, idiot! The first half of the sentence can be completely omitted!
Conan noticed that he was glanced at by someone's cold eyes again, and he was so anxious that he started to sweat.
"The other end of the exit is in the equipment room." Ye Gengyi responded calmly.
Don't be in a hurry to teach Conan a lesson.
What he is more concerned about now is that Torakura Sakuya's body parts are not left in the secret passage.
Did you really take the risk and take it out?
Or is it hidden somewhere else?
"I'll go down and take a look!" Hattori Heiji took a step forward to drill into the secret passage.
"I-I'll go take a look too..." Conan trotted away.
Ye Gengyi ignored the two detective boys and turned to Koga Rikuzo and asked: "Mr. Butler, you have lived in the villa for so long, you shouldn't ignore such an obvious secret passage on the floor, right?"
"I...I really don't know about this..."
The old housekeeper didn't know what to say for a moment. After a moment, he seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, there was a time when the master gave everyone in the villa a week's holiday."
"oh."
Ye Gengyi nodded slightly and did not continue to ask.
…
After a while, two detective boys emerged from the secret passage.
Cover the floor back into place.
Hattori Heiji and Conan expressed their tacit understanding that time was of the essence and they should quickly go to the honor room to find evidence of the 'supernatural photos'.
Not surprisingly, the mirror on the wall is not ordinary.
When you move it by hand, you can also find that the mirror is fixed on it and cannot be moved at all.
"Every time you take a photo, do you always use this wall as the background?" Hattori Heiji asked the old housekeeper.
Riku Koga said 'hmm': "Yes, the location is basically here, but the people who helped take the photos this time seem to be your two friends, right?"
"Who was it before?" Hattori Heiji asked.
"Last time it was Xiaoguang."
Rikushige Koga explained: "Because Ms. Shimizu was responsible for pressing the shutter in the past, I think it was the master who thought that was what Xiaoguang, who took over her duties, should do."
"Oh, that's it..."
Hattori Heiji nodded suddenly and asked casually: "Speaking of which, your master seems to take special care of that Hikari?"
He wanted to test how much this old housekeeper who had worked in the villa for many years knew about Xiaoguang's affairs.
Koga Rikuzhong was obviously startled and said in disbelief: "What did you say?"
"Miss Xiaoguang told us."
Conan added from the side: "She said that the master was very kind to her and never scolded her."
"impossible?"
Koga Rikuzon blurted out, realizing that his reaction was a bit big, he paused, and explained: "Uh... no, because this is different from what I know. The master has been complaining about Xiaoguang in front of me recently. Let's talk about something. , It seems like she doesn’t know how to clean, and she’s not as well-educated as her mother. She really wants to see what her father looks like..."
What?
Want to see what her father looks like?
Could it be that... I guessed wrongly that Xiaoguang is not Tokura Sakuya's daughter?
Hattori Heiji frowned:
"But if she is criticized even for cleaning, why did your master ask her to work here?"
"Eh??"
Koga Rikuzo showed an astonished expression, "The master said that Xiaoguang came to the house and begged desperately because his mother was the master's former fiancée, so the master had to agree to hire her."
ha?
Why are these two people saying completely opposite things? Who is lying... Hattori Heiji's brows furrowed deeper.
Conan also held his chin with one hand and began to think.
Although the clues have been reversed, he will not unilaterally believe one person's testimony.
But……
Still weird.
One of these two people must be lying, but why tell such a lie that can be easily exposed with simple verification?
"Is that maid usually ostracized?" Ye Geng asked coldly.
"Not this one."
Koga Rikushi shook his head: "Not only that, she is very popular among other maids and chefs because of her very cheerful personality."
"What about you? What do you think of that maid?" Ye Gengyi asked the key point.
The easiest way to judge a person's position is to ask him about his attitude on a matter.
If there is a contrast in your words, then there is a high probability that you are lying.
"I……"
Koga Rikuzhong took a deep breath and sighed: "I usually have a lot of things to manage, so I don't have much contact with Xiaoguang, but I always feel that she came to this villa for a certain purpose... "
"Purpose?" Hattori Heiji asked, "Can you explain it in more detail?"
"Xiaoguang's mother, Mrs. Yoko, died in an accident... It happened to be a stormy night. Madam, who was originally going to wait for the master to come back in the villa, suddenly said she wanted to drive to the master's hospital... We also thought the weather was bad She tried to persuade her because it was too dangerous to go out, but she still went out... Later..."
Koga Rikuzhong paused briefly and shook his head regretfully: "As expected, the car broke through the guardrail on the way and fell off the cliff with both the person and the car. The police determined that the cause of the car accident was an accident caused by poor visibility..."
Storm, night, falling off a cliff to death.
It is similar to the story about the piercing of a daimyo...
Die according to inheritance?
It's really outrageous, no...should I say it's very 'metaphysical'.
Ye Gengyi yawned without energy.
After all, he has experienced it many times, so he is no longer interested in such 'coincidence' cases.
"But why did she drive out in that bad weather?" Hattori Heiji asked.
"Because Xiaoguang was undergoing surgery in the hospital at the time, my wife must have been eager to see her daughter..."
Koga Rikuzo said in a deep voice: "However, according to Miss Shimizu, Madam's face was extremely pale at that time, so pale that she did not look like a normal person at all."
