Chapter 2185 Behind the scenes (the wrong number of chapters is wrong)(1/2)
Due to Fang Zheng's driving all the way, the group of them was basically the first to arrive at the Dusk Annex. In fact, when Kogoro carefully parked Fang Zheng's car at the main entrance of the Dusk Annex, there was not a single car around.
"I just don't understand if these rich people are mentally ill."
After getting out of the car and looking at the dusk villa in front of him, Fang Zheng shook his head.
"Why do one, two, three or four people like to build their houses in such uninhabited places? It is inconvenient to go out to buy things. If someone gets sick, it will probably be too late to be sent to the hospital. If something happens,
Bandits and robbers, they will block your retreat and kill your whole family without any reaction..."
"Who knows, rich people think differently."
Hearing what Fang Zheng said, Mouri Kogoro also complained. After all, he had experienced many similar cases. He had to admit that Fang Zheng was right. Every time there was a murder or something like this in a broken place, call the police.
It doesn't work, it's hard to find a doctor, and he doesn't understand what the brains of these rich people are like.
Of course, if we say it is clean enough, if someone died here for ten and a half months, no one would probably notice it.
While chatting nonsense, the group of people walked up the steps, and then Kogoro Mori stepped forward and knocked on the door. Soon a maid opened the door.
"Welcome, it's Mr. Mori and his party, right? I didn't expect you all to come so early... Please come in."
"Are we the first here?"
Hearing the words of the maid, Mouri Kogoro also perked up, while Conan looked at this scene and sighed helplessly. He is not a child anymore, why should he fight for the first place...
"Yes, you are the first guests I have seen since I came here. The other guests have not come yet."
"Hahaha, that's it."
Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro also laughed, and then walked into the annex, while Conan's eyes widened, showing off the Oscar-winning actor skills he learned in Hawaii, and looked at the maid.
"Sister, I want to meet the owner of this place. It's rare that he invites us to dine in such a luxurious place. I want to thank him."
"That's right. Where is the owner of the mansion now?"
Xiaolan also hurriedly came to cooperate at this moment - it seems that this husband and wife team really has a tacit understanding.
"this……………"
Facing the two people's inquiries, the maid looked embarrassed.
"Actually, I have never met the master."
"Why?"
Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro also asked curiously.
"Don't you work here? How come you haven't seen anyone?"
"That's right. In fact, I was just hired here...so..."
"But there's always someone to interview."
"It sounds a little strange."
At this time, facing Mouri Kogoro's inquiry, the maid also spoke doubtfully.
"I applied for the job after seeing a job advertisement in the newspaper. Because the conditions were very generous, many people applied. But when I walked into the room, I didn't see the interviewer. I only saw an open computer.
There is also a guest list on my computer, but when I was looking at the list, a line of words appeared on the computer saying that I was admitted..."
"that's all?"
Mouri Kogoro frowned, and Conan and Xiaolan also listened carefully. After all, Moori Kogoro didn't know, but they knew that the man behind this invitation was Belmod, the one who made Conan smaller.
The black organization might have some clues.
Moreover, this hidden appearance does look quite similar to that of the black organization.
It's a pity that this maid is only a temporary one. She can't tell what kind of place this is or why the master asked them to come here. She just said that the master also invited several detectives to attend the dinner party. Before that, you can feel free to...
…
So everyone had no choice but to wander around in this villa.
And before anyone else came, Fang Zheng also planned to vaccinate Xiaolan.
After all, no matter how much you are a detective, you are still afraid of ghosts.
"By the way, since I'm bored, why don't I tell you the story here first."
"Why?"
Hearing what Fang Zhengguo said, Mouri Kogoro, Conan and Xiaolan were also stunned.
"Do you know where this place is?"
"Of course, I won't come here without doing some research beforehand...but the information is really limited."
Speaking of this, Fang Zheng also sighed. In Conan's era, the Internet was not developed enough and a lot of information could not be found online. In places like the game world, Fang Zheng directly used his personal terminal to hack in and even his ancestors of the Eighteenth Century
The code can be checked clearly, so... digitalization is necessary!
So Founder had no choice but to send the intelligence department under Umbrella to use manpower to investigate. Of course, it was nothing more than getting close to government agencies, visiting nearby residents, investigating newspapers and magazines, and asking for some intelligence rumors...
Of course, this kind of efficiency is far from that of searching online. Founder is already used to scanning the eighteenth generation genealogy of other people's ancestors through his personal terminal. It is also very depressing to suddenly encounter this kind of thing, as if he is used to riding in a Mercedes-Benz.
The godfather who was used to taking care of a high school girl suddenly traveled back to the primitive era. He didn't even have to ride on dinosaurs, didn't even have to wear shoes, and had to fight saber-toothed tigers. It was very depressing.
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper.
"According to the clues I investigated, this villa belongs to a wealthy man named Karasuma Renye. He died half a century ago..."
"Wait, Karasuma Renya?!"
Hearing this name, Xiaolan didn't respond, but Mouri Kogoro called out, and Conan also frowned.
"Well, at least it once belonged to him..."
Fang Zheng took the report in front of him and continued.
"Everything in this annex is specially made by Karasuma Renye... In short, as I said, rich people have money and willfulness, and their brain circuits are different from others, but what follows?
Things are a bit shocking... Well, Xiaolan, you should be mentally prepared first."
"Huh? Is it scary?"
Hearing this, Xiaolan couldn't help but tighten her body, while Fang Zheng nodded.
"According to rumors, a tragic incident occurred in this annex forty years ago. At that time, this annex summoned celebrities from all walks of life in finance and economics. Of course, it was ostensibly to commemorate the ninety-nine-year-old man.
The deceased tycoon was actually conducting an auction for the art collected by Renya Karasuma during his lifetime."
After saying this, Fang Zheng glanced around.
"At that time, the auction was expected to last three days and three nights. As a result, on the night of the second day, a night of heavy rain, two uninvited guests came to the door of the annex. They claimed to be lost travelers and hoped to stay here for a night.
Of course, the person in charge of the annex refused at first, but when the other party gave him a cigarette, he suddenly changed his mind and allowed the two of them to enter the annex."
"………………"
Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro, Xiaolan and Conan all took a breath, while Fang Zheng continued.
"After that, other guests were also bewitched by these two people. At first, some people argued over these two uninvited guests, but then a strange scene happened. One of the guests attending the auction seemed to have seen
They threw away their auction items and ran away like ghosts, while a woman cried bitterly as if she was begging for someone's forgiveness. Some people stabbed themselves excitedly, and then the entire venue turned into a hell. Everyone
They all began to snatch the auctioned art works, and even killed each other. In the end, after one night, only eight corpses and a dozen unconscious guests were left in the annex, and the two mysterious
The people and the auction items disappeared."
"………………This, this is just a story, right?"
"Not really."
Xiaolan asked tremblingly, while Fang Zheng shook his head.
"In fact, from the moment I entered this annex, I smelled a strong smell of blood."
"Have it?!"
"My nose is rather pointed, so most people probably can't smell it."
Fang Zheng waved his hand and continued.
"At least judging from the past, there were blood stains on the door, corridor, living room, playroom, and all the places we passed along the way, and the amount was far more than eight people. It is estimated that more than eight people died at that time...
…”
"I'll go out and have a cigarette to calm down."
Mouri Kogoro also felt chills all over his body at this moment, and he didn't feel very good looking at the empty playroom. He hurriedly found an excuse to slip out and relax. Xiaolan wanted to leave, but was beaten by Fang Zheng.
He gestured, and then took Conan to sit on the sofa next to him.
"What do you think?"
Fang Zheng asked in a low voice while pretending to play chess with Conan.
"As of now, I think the person who invited us this time has nothing to do with the black organization."
Conan also thought for a moment and gave his own guess.
"The signature of this invitation is a word play, and it turns out to be Kaitou Kidd, but..."
To be continued...
