Chapter four hundred and eighty fourth curse the messenger of the mask
After dinner, Su Fanghongzi invited Jiang Sheng and Mouri Kogoro respectively, hoping to ask them to investigate the car accident involving Katagiri Masaki's wife.
However, Jiang Sheng had no interest in this kind of case, so he directly rejected Su Fanghongzi's commission, while Mouri Kogoro accepted the commission for a commission fee of two million.
"Brother Jiang Sheng, what did you and Uncle Maoli do just now?" Conan, who was watching Mao Lilan play tarot cards in the mask hall, couldn't help but asked curiously when he saw Jiang Sheng coming back.
Hearing this, Jiang Sheng glanced at Aikawa Touya and the others who were playing billiards not far away. He leaned close to Conan and whispered: "Ms. Su Fang came to us just now and wanted us to help investigate the car accident of Mr. Katagiri's wife twenty years ago.
things."
"The car accident twenty years ago? Why did Ms. Su Fang suddenly become interested in this matter?" After hearing Jiang Sheng's words, Conan subconsciously touched his chin and started thinking, completely unaware of how suspicious his current appearance was.
.
Since there were many entertainment items for everyone to enjoy together, the time for fun passed quickly, and it was midnight before we knew it.
When the twin maids saw that the time was up, they came out and said: "I'm sorry to disturb everyone's enjoyment, but when midnight arrives in this mansion, the mask hall must be locked. Once locked,
The upper east wing and the west wing can no longer be connected to each other, so we must also let all the previous guests go back to rest before that."
When Mouri Kogoro, who was having a good time drinking, heard this, he couldn't help complaining: "No way? It's twelve o'clock at midnight, but the nightlife has just begun!"
"Two big sisters, this place must be locked at twelve o'clock every day. Is there any special reason?" Conan heard this and quickly asked in an innocent tone.
The twin maids showed a mysterious smile and said: "Because Xiao Bol's masks always like to play pranks, so every time after midnight, these masks will run out to play without authorization. Therefore, we must lock this place in advance.
Get up and lock them all in the Hall of Masks."
When Matsudaira Mamoru, a tall man, heard this, he subconsciously clenched the pool cue in his hand and said nervously: "It's just nonsense!"
When Jiang Sheng saw this, he couldn't help but feel funny. Matsudaira Mamoru was the tallest and strongest person among everyone present, but he was also the one who was most afraid of ghosts and monsters. This was indeed very inconsistent.
One of the maids turned to look at Matsudaira Mamoru, with a playful smile on her lips and said: "This is not nonsense, because every time after dawn, those masks either tilt left and right, or fall to the ground!"
"Gudong!"
Hearing this, Matsudaira swallowed subconsciously and held the pool cue in his hand tighter.
When the short-haired maid saw Matsudaira Mamoru being frightened, she showed a sinister smile and said, "Now, please, please go back to your room and rest!"
Although Jiang Sheng and Conan did not believe the words of the twin maids, since it is the custom here to close the Mask Hall every midnight, guests like them still have to abide by the rules here.
After everyone left the Mask Hall, the twin maids closed the doors of the Mask Hall from both sides.
…
"Ding ding ding..."
Just when Mo Xue was lying on the pillow and sound asleep, a harsh phone call suddenly rang, waking Mo Xue up from his sleep.
"Meow meow meow..."
Mo Xue was awakened with hair all over her body and kept calling the landline phone that kept ringing.
"Okay, it's okay."
Jiang Sheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, reached out to touch Mo Xue and comforted him before he answered the phone calmly.
"Hahaha... I am the messenger of the cursed mask..."
As soon as Jiang Sheng picked up the phone, a burst of harsh laughter sounded from the phone receiver. But before the person on the other side finished speaking, he suddenly asked curiously: "Where did you buy this voice changer? It sounds pretty good.
So cute!”
"..."
When the mysterious man on the other end of the phone heard this, he couldn't help being slightly stunned, and then continued to say in a strange voice: "The Cursed Mask is thirsty for blood now, who will be our next victim?"
Jiang Sheng ignored the mysterious man's words and asked jokingly: "What are you talking about? I'm asking you where you bought the voice changer?"
"Dududu..."
"Tch! If you can't even make a joke, why are you pretending to be the messenger of the Curse Mask?" Jiang Sheng heard the blind voice coming back from the phone and laughed a little sinisterly.
"But since you dare to call me, you are challenging me as a famous detective. I will play with you!" After Jiang Sheng muttered to himself, he opened the door and left.
go out.
When Jiang Sheng walked out of the room, Mouri Kogoro and Conan also rushed out of the room. It was obvious that they should have also received the call from the 'Curse Masked Messenger'.
"Damn it, the door is locked!"
When Mouri Kogoro rushed to the door connected to the Mask Hall, he found that the door was locked, and hurriedly shouted to Xiaolan and Conan: "Ran, Conan, go and call Honami over.
Tell her to get the key!"
"No need to go to such trouble, just leave it to me!"
Jiang Sheng stretched out his hand to stop Xiaolan and Conan from leaving. He raised his leg and kicked hard. His right leg, like an iron whip, directly kicked the entire door open.
"Bang!!!"
However, there was still a loud noise after the entire door was kicked open, waking up all the other guests who were still sleeping. When Jiang Sheng and the others entered the mask hall, they discovered that all the Xiaobu masks had disappeared.
Gone.
"ah……"
Just as Mouri Kogoro and the others' expressions changed drastically, a cry of pain suddenly sounded from upstairs.
Jiang Sheng's expression changed slightly and he said, "No, upstairs is Ms. Su Fang's room!"
Since the legend of the Shawl Mask is that these cursed masks will suck the blood of the holder, combined with the call from the 'cursed mask user' just now, it is very likely that Ms. Su Fang was poisoned.
After Mouri Kogoro heard Ms. Su Fang's cry, he immediately turned around and ran towards the third floor. However, when he ran to the third floor, he discovered that the passage between this side and Ms. Su Fang's room had been sealed.
, leaving only a row of exhaust outlets with a gap of less than ten centimeters.
Jiang Sheng, on the other hand, kicked open the other door of the Mask Hall, and then led Conan and the others from the stairs of the west wing to the room where Ms. Su Fang was.
