Chapter 586 The meaning is true, but it is determined to be false!
After pretending to beep for a while, everyone began to exchange information with each other.
For example, Detective Gunda Ikumi discovered the existence of micro cameras and guessed that "Phantom Thief Kid" should be watching them somewhere.
However, no one mentioned the gun hidden in the room.
At this time, the maid knocked on the door of the restaurant, pushed the dining cart and started serving food to everyone.
During the serving process, Qin Zhibo suddenly asked: "Did you place these tableware in advance? Or was it already like this before you came?"
The maid thought for a moment and said, "The tableware was already like this before I came here, and other parts are also prescribed by the master, including the order of serving dishes."
The white horse detective's face darkened, he pushed down the paper place sign in front of him, and analyzed: "All of us sit according to this name sign, although I don't think that boy will commit murder."
"But if he wants to test our abilities and make some unfunny jokes on us, it is possible."
Detective White Horse's analysis made everyone think it made sense, so they all took out their handkerchiefs and wiped all the wine glasses, knives and forks.
Qin Zhibo naturally took out a light blue handkerchief from his arms and carefully wiped the tableware in front of him.
Conan on the side saw Qin Zhibo's handkerchief through Moori Kogoro and shouted in his heart.
That handkerchief is mine!
After all the dishes have been wiped, the meal officially begins.
After the appetizers were served, Qin Zhibo was not in a hurry to eat. He waited until everyone had eaten and waited to see the reaction.
The careless Mao Lilan didn't think so much. She was about to start eating, but was stopped by Conan next to her, and turned to observe the situation on the table.
As a result, other detectives had the same idea as Qin Zhibo, holding knives and forks in their hands, "undecided" about the food in front of them.
Just like that, everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.
It was the foodie detective who was the first to break the awkward atmosphere and asked: "Huh? All the dishes are here, why don't you eat it?"
Everyone: "..."
The foodie detective immediately understood everyone's doubts and quickly explained.
"The dishes are all cooked by me myself, and they are absolutely non-toxic!"
"If you don't believe me, I'll eat it for you to see."
With the foodie detective taking the lead, other detectives started eating one after another.
After dinner, everyone wiped their mouths with napkins while reminiscing about the delicious food.
At this time, the trumpet dummy made sound on time again.
"Have you all eaten enough? Are you satisfied with the last supper I have prepared?"
"Then we can get back to the business now. You must be very curious as to why I spent a huge sum of money to acquire this annex as the stage for this game, right?"
"First of all, please take a closer look at the tableware on hand."
Qin Zhibo lowered his head and looked at the tableware. There was a crow with extremely disproportionate body proportions engraved on it. He had noticed it while eating.
There is the same pattern on the door handle upstairs.
"Is this carving a crow?" Mao Lilan looked at the creepy pattern and wondered, "Is it a crow?"
The trumpet dummy continued: "This is the family crest of Renya Karasuma, a rich man who died in mysterious circumstances about half a century ago."...
"Except for the tableware here, every door, floor, handrail, and even the colors of the chess and playing cards in this villa are all specially ordered by him."
"In other words, this entire villa is a villa built by Renya Karasuma."
"But these have become history 40 years ago. A tragic case once occurred in this annex. This annex is stained with a lot of blood from the martyrs. It comes from that time."
Next, the trumpet dummy turned on the story telling mode, and the detectives could only listen quietly.
"One night 40 years ago, this annex summoned celebrities from all political and economic circles to hold a secret meeting here.
On the surface, it was to express the memory of Renya Karasuma, who passed away at the age of 99, but the essence of this memorial service was an auction for the artworks collected by Renya Karasuma during his lifetime.
The total number of items auctioned at that time exceeded 300, so the entire auction was expected to last three days and three nights.
On a stormy night on the second night, two wet men suddenly came to the annex.
They said this with lips trembling from the rain. We have lost our way because of this storm. Please let us stay here until the storm is over.
The owner of the auction originally wanted to reject their request, but the man took out a bag of unknown items from his pocket and handed it to the organizer.
There were things that looked like cigarettes inside. After smoking their cigarettes, the organizer somehow changed his mind and invited the two people into the annex.
After seeing this scene, other guests also accepted their temptation. Before long, the entire villa was filled with a thick smell of smoke."
The faces of the detectives darkened, and a possibility came to their minds.
They are cigarettes with added chemicals.
The trumpet dummy did not pause and continued to tell the story.
“At the beginning, there were still auction guests arguing over these two sudden visitors, but the situation changed immediately.
At this time, a man suddenly let out a ghostly scream, dropped the artwork he had finally bid for, and ran out.
But there was a woman who seemed to be begging someone for forgiveness, tears bursting from her eyes and she couldn't stop.
There was also a man who was holding a pen with an excited face and kept stabbing hard at his hand.
In the end, all the guests went crazy and began to snatch the works of art to be auctioned, and even started to kill each other with famous knives and swords.
The entire auction venue turned into a hell on earth.
After this nightmare-like night, there were eight dead people lying at the auction, and more than a dozen comatose guests. But those two men disappeared without a trace with all the works of art."
Qin Zhibo's face darkened, and based on the story described by the trumpet dummy, he thought of a possibility.
The madness in the auction venue seemed to be caused by a sharp decline in willpower in a short period of time.
Maybe it's caused by the unknown smoke.
However, this story also has unexplained bugs.
First of all, judging from the bloodstains that can be seen almost everywhere in this annex, if the auction really existed that year, it is impossible that only 8 people died. The number of casualties should be far higher than this.
Secondly, it is impossible for two travelers to disappear carrying all 300 pieces of art on their backs, unless their true identities are Doraemon and Nobita.
Therefore, Qin Zhibo’s evaluation of this story is
The meaning is true, but it is determined to be false!
