Mumu Shisan led the team and rushed to the gate.

I originally thought that what I was about to face was a conflict that would be even worse than the previous post [Metropolitan Police Department investigates Section 1 detectives for shielding Kaitou Kidd].

As a result, what he saw in front of him left him a little confused.

A reporter was surrounded by reporters from Nippon TV Station.

Flashes and shutter sounds come and go.

Looking at the microphones that were almost shoved into the other party's mouth... Mumu Thirteen felt a little confused for a moment.

Wait... isn't that person the reporter who asked me questions earlier? Why is he surrounded?

After all, this is the police department of the First Search Section, so he still has the ability to recognize people.

Immediately, he called the police officers on duty outside the villa to inquire about the situation.

Although these police officers did not have time to browse the Internet on their mobile phones, they had been watching for such a long time and had already pieced together a general outline of the incident from the few words of everyone.

What crushes one hot event is always another hot event.

A report like this.

After listening to this, Mumu Shisan was immediately speechless.

The person who co-wrote it was too arrogant, and then he was exposed as a source of negative information, which caused public outrage.

It was definitely not appropriate to laugh out loud or turn around and leave. After watching the excitement from the side for a while, Mumu Shisan still rescued the person with a big wave of his hand.

Of course, rescuing people does not mean protecting them.

The police will certainly not tolerate this journalist's own power, money, sex, and corresponding laws violated by spreading rumors.

Looking at the other party's embarrassed appearance.

Mu Mu Shisan felt a sense of relief in his heart.

However... although the noise outside the villa this time is not a follow-up extension of the "Kidd Murder Incident", he will not really wait until the incident escalates before thinking of ways to make amends.

Fortunately, Oikawa Murai pleaded guilty.

Simply, Megure Thirteen held a simple press conference on the spot, not only to clear Kaitou Kidd's innocence, but also to investigate a series of things in the post [Metropolitan Police Department Investigation Section 1 Criminal Police Coverup of Phantom Thief Kidd]

The false accusation was clarified.

…

"It's so boring, bro..."

Kuroba Kaito lay in the back seat of the car and yawned.

He left the painting "Qinglan" on the easel at the scene of his death, and all traces of it in the villa were cleaned up before leaving.

Only Takagi Wataru was left in the big bag. Because of Ye Gengyi's revelation, the TV stations and reporters were all busy. Therefore, the police officer who even had to take off his gray suit was so tragic.

None have been discovered yet.

An hour and a half after Megure Thirteen took Oikawa Burai to a news interview.

Ye Gengyi and Kuroba Kaito had left Okutama and came to Yamanashi Prefecture.

It's midnight.

A few gray-black clouds blocked the sky again.

The drizzle of rain fell, raising a thin mist.

Because the meeting place was a villa deep in the mountains.

Therefore, due to environmental and safety considerations, Ye Gengyi temporarily gave up his plan to collect intelligence overnight.

Leaving the car haphazardly in a parking lot.

Ye Gengyi and the disguised Kuroba Kaito made an appointment to meet the next day and found two hotels to spend the night.

A night of silence.

The next day.

After breakfast, the two took the bus and met at the mountain climbing point.

After Kuroba Kaito said hello, he asked casually, but he immediately frowned:

"What? The phone still can't be connected...it's strange, this doesn't fit with the character of that guy from Hakuba."

It's right to think about it. A person who can even tell time accurately to the millisecond will actually lose contact within one day after sending the invitation letter. If this happens, it is almost equivalent to directly engraving the words "problem" on the phone. His face is so exaggerated.

Look at that invitation again.

[Mr. Ye, at 9 a.m. this Sunday, we specially invite you to come to the mountain villa in Yamanashi Prefecture and the former residence of Kichiemon Sansui. Hakuba Tan.]

The ordinary words written on it seemed to become a little unusual at this time.

"Could this be forged by someone?" Kuroba Kaito asked.

"You're not asking me, are you?" Ye Geng's eyes turned blind.

Although he can also imitate other people's handwriting, he really doesn't have a good way to identify it, especially... he is not very familiar with Detective White Horse.

To put it simply, it is the kind of relationship where you can just turn around and leave now without any psychological burden.

Of course, that's what I thought. If Ye Gengyi really didn't plan to come, he wouldn't have made a special trip to Okutama to find Kuroba Kaito's notes on identifying Hakuba Tan.

The two of them walked along the mountain road.

Rainfall all night did not make the sky clear.

The slightly gray environment blends with the rugged trees and rough rocks, giving people a sense of depression and uneasiness.

What's even more strange is that after entering this mountain forest, neither Ye Gengyi nor Kuroba Kaito met anyone else.

Are the invitation dates staggered?

Ye Gengyi could only think this way, because he didn't think that the White Horse Detective only invited him to the appointment.

As time goes by.

The two of them also arrived halfway up the mountain.

The moist dew in the forest had already wetted their sleeves, and the cold wind blowing from time to time also froze the atmosphere between eerie and quiet.

"Brother, look over there..."

Kuroba Kaito suddenly spoke out and pointed to a hazy hilly area in the distance.

The first thing that caught his eye was a scarecrow, covered in darkness and with his arms spread out in a cross.

And beneath it, a desolate cemetery can be vaguely seen...

However, looking at the gloomy weather, there is no doubt that it will rain soon.

The two of them didn't hesitate at all and immediately gave up their plan to take a detour to satisfy their curiosity.

I continued walking forward, and after passing through this rugged mountain road, my sight finally became wider again.

Next to the "y"-shaped fork in the road, there was an old wooden board standing on it, which marked the directions of the two roads.

【Mountaintop】

【Strange Museum】

"Strange Museum? It seems that this name was not mentioned on the invitation, right?"

Kuroba Kaito murmured softly.

Ye Gengyi squatted down to inspect it for a moment and concluded: "Although the wooden sign is old, the soil underneath is very new."

"Brother, you mean someone deliberately made the road sign old..." Kuroba Kaito had already realized something and looked sideways at another mountain road.

"No, there are too few clues," Ye Gengyi shook his head and gave another inference: "It is also possible that the owner of the villa was worried that the guests would take the wrong way, so he fixed the road sign again."

"Then which way do we go?"

Looking at the dividing line in front of the intersection, there are lush trees on both sides.

Kuroba Kaito sighed helplessly, "That guy Hakuba really likes to cause trouble for others," and then directly handed over the choice to Ye Gengyi.

"Follow the sign."

Ye Gengyi didn't think this was an issue worth worrying about.
