After speaking for his master, the old housekeeper politely welcomed the group. His highly myopic eyes were tightly squinted behind his glasses, and he looked at Otaki Goro, "Excuse me, are you Officer Otaki of the Osaka Prefectural Police?"
"Yes," Otaki Goro responded quickly, "Are you the client who asked the police to come here?"
"That's right, I'm the butler of the Tokura family, Riku Shige Koga," the old butler explained calmly, "I was a police officer at the same time as Hattori Headquarters' father, so I called the police and
Please ask the Head of the Service Department to send the police here."
"Grandpa, it's a bit strange that you mentioned my recent behavior in the commission, isn't it?" Conan looked up at the old butler Rikuzo Koga and asked, "What does this sentence mean?"
There was a trace of solemnity on Koga Riku's face, and his speaking rhythm was still slow, "Recently, the master seems to be avoiding the sun. He has been staying in the room to sleep during the day, and all the silver tableware he used to love was thrown away.
He also said that he was allergic to silver. The chef put garlic in the soup two days ago. He smashed the bowl on the spot and said angrily, 'This will rot the blood. Don't let me see this again.'"
Mouri Kogoro broke into a cold sweat when he heard this, "Hey, this is just like..."
"Yes, I think that's what the maid, Miss Shimizu, thinks," Rikuzo Koga said with a solemn expression, "It's almost like a vampire!"
Mao Lilan, Toyama and Ye who walked next to them happened to hear Koga Rikuzo's words, and their expressions changed drastically.
"Suck, vampire?"
"It's the bumper," Hattori Heiji quickly covered it up, "We are saying that the bumper of the rental car is broken and we don't know what to do."
Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "What? It turned out to be the bumper."
Toyama and Ye's tense expressions also softened, and they said expectantly, "Heiji, let's go in quickly!"
"This place is like a castle," Mao Lilan also smiled. "It looks so spectacular. I really want people to go in and visit!"
"The sun is almost setting," Rikuzo Koga turned to look at the setting sun in the sky, "It's time for you to get up. Before dinner is ready, please feel free to take a look around the restaurant."
"Ah, okay." Otaki Goro responded.
Rikuzo Koga withdrew his gaze, looked at Otaki Goro with a serious look and said, "The meeting related to inheritance matters will start after dinner. I'll leave it to you then!"
Otaki Goro nodded quickly, "Yes, I will cheer up!"
Mao Lilan saw Nanatsuki Koshizui standing aside doing nothing, pulled Nanatsuki Koshimizu over, and asked in a low voice with a gossipy face, "Does Officer Otaki's lover live in this castle-like house?"
"Huh?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki was stunned, and then he remembered Hattori Heiji's statement last night that "Officer Otaki has a headache for women." He was not sure what version Mao Lilan, Toyama and Ye heard, so he could only vaguely say,
"I don't know either."
Toyama Kazuki didn't care at all, and said softly with a smile, "We can observe more after we go in to see if there are any suspicious targets. However, since Officer Otaki will be allowed to participate in inheritance meetings and other things, Officer Otaki's
The lover is probably the eldest lady of this family..."
While the girls were discussing gossip, Koga Rikushige led a group of people into the mansion through the side door, called a maid, asked about the situation of the guest rooms in the mansion, and asked the maid to take a group of people to the west side of the second floor to select rooms.
The area of this mansion is not as large as the Dusk Villa that Chi Feichi and Conan visited, but it is also a castle-shaped building that has been passed down for a long time. The internal corridors are twists and turns, and rooms for various purposes and empty rooms are scattered everywhere.
The maid who led the way introduced her all the way, but she could only explain that a certain area was the guest room area, a certain area was the servant's living area, and a certain area was the master's area. Except for large restaurants, banquet halls, and the like, there were no other rooms.
The methods are clearly introduced one by one and can only be introduced on a large scale.
However, there are still people living in this mansion, and it has been renovated in recent years. The interior decoration is more fashionable than the Dusk Annex, and many modern electrical appliances have been added.
Although it is a bit deserted, it has a relatively full atmosphere of life. The interior only highlights a rich and ancient luxury, and is not as old as it looks from the outside.
Arriving at the guest room area on the west side of the second floor, Mao Lilan, Toyama and Ye discussed with Nanatsuki Koshimizu and chose a large room for three people.
Suddenly coming to a strange and deserted environment, living together can really make girls feel safe.
Hattori Heiji also invited Ike Feichi and Conan to choose a large room with three people next to them, but the purpose was to facilitate the discussion of the incident.
In addition, Mouri Kogoro and Otaki Goro were influenced by other people's grouping behavior, so they also gave up the option of sharing a room and chose a two-person room.
After assigning rooms, the group was led around the mansion by the maid.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki fell at the back of the team, turned his head and whispered to Chi Feichi, "Will you prevent the murder from happening?"
Chi Fei sooner or later thought that Nanatsuki Koshisui might ask this, and he had already decided to answer truthfully, "No, I originally wanted to say that it is difficult to change the fate of others, and rash interference may cause other troubles, but no matter how much I say,
It only shows that I don’t care about the lives of those victims.”
"Would you interfere unless it was someone you care about like Xiao Ai?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded thoughtfully, "Isn't this the way gods survive?"
Chi Feichi: "..."
Where did Yueshui go?
Koshimizu Nanatsuki did not dwell on the previous topic. He looked at the group of people in front of him who were discussing famous castles at home and abroad, and asked in a low voice, "Then can I tell other people the story of this family's ancestors? Former Otaki Police Officer
He mentioned that the ancestor of this family was a famous person, but then he refused to say any more, which made me want to finish it for him."
"You can say whatever you want, and telling that story shouldn't cause any trouble," Chi Feichi paused, "By the way, Yueshui, do you want to know what will happen tonight?"
Koshizui Nanatsuki's face froze, and he quickly rejected him three times, "I'm sorry, I don't want to, please don't tell me."
Chi Feichi didn't force it, "Forget it."
Yuesui Nanatsuki began to worry that Chi Feichi was holding it back again. He raised his eyes and looked at Chi Feichi's face, "If you feel that holding it in is uncomfortable, I can't listen to you...well, actually, I'll listen to you in advance."
It doesn't matter if we talk about it, the two of us can still discuss it."
"You're not used to being spoiled, so you'd better not listen to it," Chi Feichi followed the troops and looked calmly at the corridor ahead, saying softly, "Actually, you just need to treat it the same way you would watch a movie. Discover the wonderful things.
I don’t mind watching the movie three or five times. Every time I watch it, I may discover something new that I haven’t discovered before. At the same time, I won’t feel bored or impatient when watching a movie alone, so for me who is already used to it.
Said, it doesn't make any difference whether I tell others about the situation or not. I told you some things in advance just to tease you and have some fun."
"Looking for fun?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki suddenly had a black line on his face and whispered resentfully, "Isn't it too abominable? How can anyone like you take pleasure in bullying your lover..."
Conan noticed that the two were whispering, so he deliberately slowed down and fell behind the team.
Chi Feichi was always paying attention to the others and noticed Conan's little movements. He put his hand on Conan's head and rubbed it. He manually marked Conan and asked Koshizu Nanatsuki not to ignore a certain elementary school student who was planning to eavesdrop. "I think so
There are many people, doesn’t Hattori often make Kazuha angry?”
Conan: "..."
Wait, aren't these two people discussing the murder? Why do they feel like they are just talking about love?
Hattori Heiji noticed Conan's move and quietly followed him to the back of the team. When he heard Chi Feichi saying that he was so angry with Kazuha, he asked doubtfully, "Brother Feichi, what are you talking about? Why should I listen to you? I
I often get so angry with Kazuo and so on..."
Chi Feichi said perfunctorily without changing his expression, "I didn't say it, you heard wrong."
Hattori Heiji:"……"
Please don't fool him as a fool, thank you!
"Mr. Chi just made me angry with what he said. When I complained to him, he said that you also often made Kazuye angry. It was really an answer that made people even more angry," Koshizui Nanatsuki complained, looking at himself
Conan and Hattori Heiji came up with smiles on their faces, "By the way, Hattori, Conan, just now Officer Otaki said that the ancestor of this family is a daimyo, did you hear it? But he hesitated and said he didn't know.
"
Hattori Heiji and Conan nodded.
"yes……"
"Is there any connection between the fact that the ancestor of this family is a daimyo and the incident half a year ago?"
"Didn't I hear about the incident that happened nearby half a year ago? The two people who were talking about the incident on the train also told the legend about the ancestors of this family," Koshimizu Nanatsuki pretended to be mysterious, "How about that?"
Speaking of relatedness, there should be a little bit..."
"What what? What is it?"
Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at Koshimi Nanatsuki with expectant faces, unable to even take a step forward.
Chi Feichi saw that Koshizui Nanatsuki was deliberately teasing the two of them, and did not ruin Koshizui Nanatsuki's plan, so he just watched the fun from the sidelines.
Watching Yue Shui play tricks on others is not as satisfying as the end result, but it is still interesting to watch.
"Well," Koshimizu Nanatsuki pretended to hesitate, "it's just a legend that has not been verified..."
Hattori Heiji and Conan nodded in agreement, feeling very impatient.
Let me tell you first whether it has not been verified and whether it has anything to do with the case!
Koshizui Nanatsuki lamented in his heart that his psychology was becoming increasingly distorted, and sighed quietly, "Forget it, I'd better not say it..."
Hattori Heiji, Conan: "!"
(｀Δ)!
You didn’t say anything anymore?!
How can people do such bad things! Damn it! Damn it!!
