Chapter 452: The Dusk Pavilion in the depths of the forest
Bump, bump, bump.
It was really bumpy to pick up the door handle at night, because Mori Kogoro still chose to listen to the boss. It's not that he wants to do what the boss says, but he heard that if he doesn't take a shortcut, he will detour the mountain road for two hours, and when he heard this, Maori Kogoro immediately coaxed, he couldn't stand it just after driving for five hours in a row, and now he came for another two hours, and he really couldn't hold it.
Xiaolan: "Dad, is this really a shortcut? It's too bumpy. ”
Maori Kogoro grabbed the steering wheel angrily, "Damn, I spent a lot of money to buy a map from him, if any boss dares to lie to me, go back and see how I clean him up." ”
The night who was holding the car door gritted his teeth and thought, even if he didn't cheat, he had to clean up the owner of the gas station when he went back, it was so bad, it would be difficult to solve the hatred in his heart if he didn't clean up.
The car drove through this rugged forest path for more than 20 minutes, and finally drove out and got on the regular road.
"Whew, it's finally out. Mori Kogoro breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle, it seems that the boss didn't lie to you, look over there. Conan pointed to their left front, and the annex could be seen from the overlapping forest.
In the blackened forest surrounded by this annex, lightning flashes in the sky from time to time, illuminating everyone's vision. But under the light of lightning, the annex revealed a strange feeling. It feels like he's not a resident at all, but more like a ghost.
Maori Kogoro: "Where is this called the Dusk Annex, looking at such an evil door, it would be more appropriate to call it a vampire castle." ”
As soon as Xiaolan heard about the vampire, she retreated in her heart, and looked at Maori Kogoro hesitantly, "Dad, are we really going?" ”
"Fool, how can that be, we have accepted all the invitations, and don't forget, we have accepted the two million. Mori Kogoro said.
"But is that strange sender's name unraveled, and it's the phantom of God's abandoned son," Lan worried.
"What do you care so much about, I think it's just a boring person's name, and it's going to be fine. Mori Kogoro said nonchalantly.
Xiaolan sighed, looking at the dusk annex from far to near, and the fear in her heart was slowly magnified. There are many trees in the forest, and they are also dense and tall, and the annex will disappear and appear at dusk, which makes Xiaolan panic all the time. "Dad, let's not go, okay. ”
Maori Kogoro said helplessly: "But this is almost there." ”
Xiaolan lowered her head worriedly, "But what if there are really vampires." ”
Maori Kogoro: "How is that possible, what vampires, that's impossible, there is only the possibility of an old demon in the mountains, ah!"
Suddenly, after the car driving along the mountain road turned a corner, an old woman stood alone in the middle of the road with an umbrella.
Maori Kogoro slammed on the brakes, and it rained on the road, although he braked in time, he still inevitably slid on the road for a long distance, and almost only a dozen centimeters were about to turn to her. But this old woman was too calm, calm, not at all like she was going to be hit by a car, but as simple as drinking a glass of water, extremely plain.
"The old demon in the mountains!"
The old woman with an umbrella, "You guys are so rude!"
At this time, everyone knew that the person on the other side was a person, not some so-called old demon in the mountains.
Mori Kogoro: "Ah, I'm sorry. ”
The old woman walked to the window with an umbrella, "You are also going to the Dusk Annex, if you don't mind, take me with you." Pointing to a famous car in the corner, "You see, my car broke down, can you give me a ride?"
Kogoro Mori: "Ah, that's nothing. ”
Old woman: "That's great, by the way, I have a request, can you please help me bring the suitcase from the car." ”
Kogoro Mori: "Ah, yes. "There is simply no reason to refuse.
When she saw that Maori Kogoro agreed, she was no longer polite, opened the car door and squeezed Conan to the side of the night, and took a seat for herself.
After sitting up, the car suddenly became quiet, no one spoke, only a small chewing sound. Xiaolan looked back and realized that the night was taking advantage of the gap when Maori Kogoro opened the back box, and took out the snacks he brought inside, and he didn't know why his speed was so fast, anyway, it was just a little time, and he took it out of the bag at once.
Old woman: "Children, don't blame me for saying more, it's not good for children to have so many snacks every day." ”
Ye glanced at her, then ignored it and asked you to take care of it.
Old woman: "If you eat too much, you won't have the stomach to eat, you will not only gain weight, but also open your teeth." ”
Crunch, crunch, night mouth still non-stop, simply ignore it.
The old woman saw that she was bored with herself, so she stopped talking.
The attitude of not staying overnight was finally warned by Xiaolan, "You can't be rude, and you are not allowed to eat any more snacks after eating this belt." Then he looked at Mori Kogoro and whispered, "Dad, haven't we arrived yet?" ”
This is a winding mountain road, which looks very close, but it is not as close as imagined when you have to go around the mountain one by one.
The old woman began to speak again at this time, "Little girl, I may have to talk more again." The principal of my elementary school always told us to be a prepared person, a person who was unprepared, no matter how many times the opportunity came, he would not be able to seize it. So why don't you go to the toilet at the gas station in front of you. ”
There were snacks stuffed in his mouth at night, and he muttered: "How to guide the road to the Women Jinguo gas station." (How do you know we've been to the gas station)"
The old woman smiled, "It's easy, because the ashtray in the car is empty, and there is a new cigarette in the car that has just smoked much. This can show that the driver smokes very fiercely, resulting in the ashtray being stuffed and unable to fill. The only place to clean cigarette butts is a gas station ten kilometers ago. Looking at the night with a surprised expression, she smiled and continued, "A gentleman who can carry a strange old man shouldn't throw cigarette butts on the road, right?" ”
Her reasoning made everyone think differently about her, this old woman is not an ordinary person, and she stuffed another snack into her mouth at night, and she should pay more attention to her later. At first, I thought she was just an ordinary person, pretending to be an old fox.
"Well, which old man, may I ask who you are?" asked Maori Kogoro in a swarty voice.
Old woman: "My name is Senma Descendant, and like you, I'm also a detective. ”
