"Mr. Mori, your companions, and Master Touya, please enter through the door on the east side." said the maid Shimokasa Honami on the left.
"Mr. Katagiri, Mr. Matsudaira, Ms. Nagara and Mr. Kuroki, please enter through the west door." said the maid Shimokasa Minaho on the right.
"Why do you have to go through two doors to enter?" Masaki Katagiri asked confused.
"This has always been the rule here." Shimogasa Minaho said.
Shimogasa Honami continued: "Guests staying in the east wing can only enter through the east door."
"Guests staying in the west wing can only enter through the west door." Shimogasa Minaho said.
The two of them said this in one sentence, and the group of people standing in the middle could only shake their heads back and forth. The scene looked a bit funny.
Since it was the rule here, guests were welcome to do as they pleased, so Kuroki had no choice but to move separately from the people he knew, using his social skills to enter the house and ask about the situation here.
The villa naturally belongs to Ms. Su Fang, who has lived here for a long time. Touya Aikawa, who was adopted by Ms. Su Fang when he was a child, regards this place as half of his own home.
This is also the reason why the two Shigasa maids called him Master Touya.
Kuroki Jin used chatting to find out some things about the relationship between Ms. Su Yoshikoko and Aikawa Touya from Minaho Shimogasa, and also asked about the reasons for the arrival of the other three people.
The three of them were all invited by Su Fanghongzi to be guests at next week's charity gala. They themselves have little to do with the charity industry. Like Mouri Kogoro, they came to support Su Fanghongzi.
Only the photographer Mr. Katagiri said: "I actually fought for this opportunity myself. Like Mr. Kuroki, I came here because of the reputation."
"Oh?"
Before Kuroki Jin could ask more questions, Minaho Shimogasa had already led them to the door of a room on the second floor and told them that this was the Mask Hall.
As soon as he entered the door, Kuroki Jin had already seen the masks hanging on the walls of the room. Minaho Shimogasa also introduced that Ms. Su Fang likes to collect masks, and these are her collections.
When I opened the door of the mask hall, I saw Kogoro Mouri who opened the door. The two people met here.
It turns out that although the villa is divided into east and west doors, we will meet in the hall on the second floor, and there is no other way.
The Mask Hall is worthy of being called the Mask Hall. There are display cabinets in the room, and various masks are displayed here. Although Kuroki Jin doesn't know how to do it, he also knows that the things displayed like this must not be what they are.
Bargain.
Doing charity is really profitable.
As half of the owner, Aikawa Touya began to introduce to everyone the origin of each mask here and the story behind it. As he talked about it, the red curtain behind him that was originally blocked was pulled open for some reason, and the dense white masks were revealed. p>
Aikawa Touya was startled, and quickly looked towards where he had placed the remote control, and saw the child brought by Detective Mori looking at the mask behind him in surprise.
This kid...he also saw it in Kuroki Ren's candy house.
Seeing that everyone was a little frightened, Anchuan Touya explained: "This is Xiaobulu's mask. There are two hundred masks in total. They are the teacher's collection over the years."
Xiao Bruguntilas, a Spaniard, was a talented sculptor, but he was framed by his jealous brother, and his status, reputation and property were all taken away. So he began to hate human beings and made works as if possessed by a demon.
After making two hundred masks, he committed suicide next to the mask.
It is said that his body was surrounded by masks stained with blood, as if they were sucking the life out of him.
After many years, Xiao Bulu's reputation was restored, and these masks passed into the hands of many people, but most of them ended up in misfortune. The people who originally collected the masks also took action one after another, and then Su Fang, who liked masks, was
The lady collected them all and asked a powerful psychic to seal the masks.
When listening to the first half of the story, Kuroki Jin was still lamenting the misery of Xiaobulu. After listening to the whole story, he was only left with questions.
The Curse Mask is already outrageous, but what kind of thing is a psychic...
He doesn’t understand the adult world.
At this moment, the host Su Fanghongzi arrived.
Along with Su Fanghongzi came her secretary Inaba Kazuyo. After greeting everyone, Sufanghongzi looked at the white masks hanging on the surrounding walls, and asked the others with a satisfied smile how her collection was.
"This..." Everyone didn't know what to say. The whole thing sounded very supernatural, and the mask looked very scary, making people a little uncomfortable.
"Thank you everyone for agreeing to be a guest at next week's charity gala." Su Fanghongzi changed the topic, looked at everyone, and then her eyes lingered on Kuroki, "This Mr. Kuroki is Touya's friend, he made a friend a few years ago.
When my friend came back excitedly and told me about it, I wanted to meet Mr. Kuroki, but I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t be able to do so until today.”
"Ms. Su Fang, thank you." Kuroki Ren has always had a good external image. He said humbly as if he were visiting his elders: "Lan Chuan has always told me that Ms. Su Fang is the most kind and kind person. I have long thought about it.
I came to visit, but I never had the right opportunity."
"I just happened to have received an invitation to the charity gala next week, so I took this opportunity to find a way to Lanchuan and come to visit Ms. Su Fang first."
Su Fang Hongzi was slightly startled. The charity party was held by her, and all the guests were invited by her. Even Aikawa Touya couldn't hide it from her. But Su Fang Hongzi really didn't remember that she invited Kuroki.
A person like Ren comes here.
She always thought that Kuroki Jin came to visit just as a friend of Aikawa Touya.
After giving the secretary a calm look, Su Fanghongzi invited everyone to eat in the canteen on the first floor on the east side without changing her expression.
Kuroki Jin, who was walking at the back, looked at the figure in front and smiled silently. After looking at each other, Touya Aikawa took two steps forward to talk to his teacher.
Before serving the meal, Su Fanghongzi called Aikawa Touya aside and asked about the invitation letter in Kuroki Jin's hand.
"Isn't it from the teacher?" Touya Aikawa looked surprised, "Kuroki took the invitation letter when he found me. I thought it was the teacher who invited me, so I agreed to bring him over to meet the teacher."<
/p>
Su Fanghongzi fooled the past by thinking that she might have forgotten things due to her old age.
"In fact, Kuroki himself was born an orphan, and his parents died young. Therefore, he only chose to do charity to repay society when he achieved some success."
"One time when he was drunk, he seemed to have said that he had secretly donated money to nearly a hundred orphanages, but when he sobered up he would not admit it. I don't know if it is true."
Su Fang Hongzi's face turned pale slightly, and when she looked back at Kuromu Ren, she saw a savage beast in his gentle expression.
