Tuesday, January 2, evening, Maori home, living room.

Lan called Yuanzi and Mei Daizi respectively and asked them to accompany her to the Dusk Pavilion, and both agreed, but Mei Daizi said that she would not be able to finish the first half of the work at Mei Dai Restaurant in the evening. ……

Wednesday, January 3rd, morning, Māori Detective Agency.

When the garden came, Mori took her, Ran and Conan to the car rental agency at Rice Flower Square to rent a seven-seater SUV and head to the Dusk House in Nagano Prefecture.

More than half an hour later, on the central ring line of the Capital Expressway.

Maori opened the locker and took out a map and threw it to Ran, asking her to show her the way according to the map, and after Lan and the garden checked, they were surprised to find that the village of Xiaotani, where the Dusk Pavilion was located, was hundreds of kilometers away from here.

Yuan Zi exclaimed, "I only have one question now, how long are we going to stay in the car?"

"This, don't be angry, garden, I just found out. Lan laughed, and then shouted to Maori, "Dad, how long are we going to stay in the car?"

"Don't be verbose, hurry. Maori exclaimed, "Hurry up and see where you want to get off the highway, you will be in trouble if you take the wrong road." ”

Conan straightened his triangular eyes and said that he would first go sightseeing in the neighborhood when he arrived, and it seemed that it was a question of whether he could arrive on time. ……

After that, Mori's car got on the Chuo Expressway and had a late lunch at the Suwako Highway service area in the afternoon. After the break, I took the Nagano Expressway from the Okaya Intersection and turned onto Nagano Prefectural Road at the Azumino Intersection, and then took part of the route of National Route 147 and National Route 148 to Kotani Road Station in Otani Village.

Looking at the snow outside, the garden exclaimed, "Damn, I knew that I would be with Mei Daizi." ”

Lan said, "Dad, you should think of a way." ”

"I'm not thinking about it. Mori said, "By the way, let's go to the village office." ”

Conan said helplessly: "Uncle, there is no New Year's holiday yet." Then he said, "Uncle, let's just follow the railway line, and then take a break at the railway station." ”

"That's fine. Maori said.

Soon after, Mori's car arrived at Kita-Kotani Station, and it turned out that it was an unmanned station, but it ran into the village bus, and I followed it all the way to the terminal to find a place where I could solve the gasoline problem, and then took a break, asked for the road, and set off again in the wind and snow amid the complaints of the garden. ……

In the wind and snow, on the mountain road.

Because of the snow on the mountain road and the onset of night, the Maori car drove very slowly, and the garden couldn't help but ask, "It's already six o'clock in the evening, when can we get there?"

Lan said, "Didn't they say it? ”

"What a terrible trip," Sonoko asked, "I don't know who it is, how can you live in such a hellish place?" and then frightened Lan, "You say, could it be some kind of vampire or something?"

"Isn't it?" Lan shuddered.

"Stupid, if there is a mountain demon or something," Maori suddenly noticed an old woman with an umbrella in front of her, and quickly stepped on the brakes, then shook off the glass, stuck her head out and shouted, "What's the matter with you, why are you standing in the middle of the road." ”

"I'm so sorry, I'm afraid you won't see me. The old woman asked, "My car's engine has turned off, and you are also going to the Twilight House, can you give me a ride?"

"The Pavilion of Twilight?" Mori confirmed.

"The Pavilion of Twilight. The old woman said.

"Oh well. Maori said, "Please get in the car." ”

"Thanks," asked the old woman, "by the way, can you help me carry my luggage in my car?"

"Of course. Maori went to carry his luggage and came back wanting to smoke a cigarette, only to find that the ashtray had been taken by the old woman.

"I'm sorry, but bear with me, Mr. Maori. The old woman said.

"Do you know me?" asked Maori, surprised, "who are you?"

The old woman smiled and said, "My name is Qianjian Descendant, but I am just an old lady from the countryside, and I usually have nothing to do to help you come up with some ideas." ”

"Ah," said the gardener, "you are the detective who sits in an easy chair and can solve the case just by listening to what others have to say. ”

Chima said with a smile: "What kind of incident, it's just some trivial things, but it can't compare to the Maori detectives who can often help the police solve criminal incidents." ”

"It's just a coincidence, it's just a coincidence. Maori laughed.

Conan asked, "Now, old woman, have you received an invitation too?"

Chima said, "Yes, Black Letter, what a bad host. ”

Lan asked, "Do you know how far the Pavilion of Dusk is from here?"

Qianjian looked at Lan for a moment, "Ha, little girl, I think you should just find a place to solve your physiological problems." ”

"Ahh

"Really?" Sonoko laughed, and then asked to the Senma Demo, "How do you know that?"

"Khan. Qianjian said with a smile, "The air conditioning here is not high, but this young lady has fine sweat on her head, so there must be something to worry about, and there is nothing urgent about things outside the body at this time, so it's a matter of the body." She's in good spirits, she shouldn't be sick, if it's the one who comes, it's not just a fine sweat, if it's big, it will hurt her stomach, so I just want to go to a small relief. ”

"Awesome, really awesome. Yuan Zi smiled, "Lan, don't bear it, it's not good for your health." ”

"Don't worry about it. Lan said with a blushing face.

Conan, who blushed when he heard this, suddenly noticed that as the car turned a corner, a large villa on the mountain appeared in view, and immediately called everyone to watch it together.

"Great. Lan laughed.

"Okay, I'll try to be as fast as I can. Maori said.

Nearly ten minutes later, the car came to a fork in the road, Maori looked at the street signs, and one road led to the Twilight Pavilion and all the way to the Valley Mine, so he chose the road to the Twilight Pavilion.

Nearly ten minutes later, the car arrived at the parking lot outside the Twilight House, a mansion that covered several hectares. Lan didn't wait for the car to stop, jumped out of the car without taking the umbrella, rushed into the wind and snow in the laughter of the garden, hurriedly knocked on the door of the Dusk Pavilion, and after waiting for a while, a maid in her twenties came to answer the door, and Lan Wenming immediately ran in to see where the bathroom was.

Conan got out of the car and found a car next to him, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Jewel, and Alfa Romeo, and a man in his thirties wearing a cowboy hat in the car.

"Senma Mother-in-law, why are you here too?" the man got out of the car and asked, "This mustache is that moldy star Mori Kogoro, right?"

Mustache, mildew, and the green tendons on Maori's head came out.

"Motegi, what are you doing in the car? Observe?" Chima said with a smile, "I heard that you were hunted by the Chicago mafia, and it seems to be true." ”

Chicago, Conan thought to himself, could it be the detective Haruki Motegi that his father mentioned?

"Is there one?" said Haruki Motegi, shrugging, "I've long forgotten that old past." ”

Chima asked, "Did you get out of the car now to observe?"

"Not at all, it's just that everyone is here, and if I don't go in, I won't be able to eat. Haruki Motegi said, "I didn't eat that meal at noon, and now I'm grumbling with hunger." ”

At this time, the maid came over and said, "Welcome, down here is Aki Ishihara, may I ask, is it Detective Chima Demo Lady, Detective Mori Kogoro? Then he asked Haruki Motegi, "Sir, are you going to come in now?"

"Of course I want to go. Haruki Motegi asked, "Is dinner ready?"

Aki Ishihara said, "Mr. Ogami thinks that Koshita's cooking skills are not good, and now he cooks himself. ”

"Mr. Ojo?" asked Maori, "is this the master?"

Aki Ishihara said, "No, he's also a guest today, Detective Mr. Zhuzen Okami." ”

"Oh, it's the foodie detective. Maori said.

At this time, everyone entered the hall of the Dusk Pavilion, and Lan also came.

Yuan Zi asked, "What the hell is going on, there are four detectives, is there a big gathering of detectives?"

"It's six," said Haruki Motegi, "and a young lady, a young man." ”

"Young detective," Ran immediately asked, "is it Shinichi Kudo?"

"It won't be, it must be Brother Hattori. Conan said immediately.

Aki Ishihara said, "It's neither, it's ......"

At this moment, an eagle's cry sounded, and a golden eagle circled in the empty hall and landed on the second floor of a blonde young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a gloved arm.

"That young man was me, just in time to get away from those boring parties. The young man smiled as he walked, "It's just that I didn't expect to see Miss Yuanzi here." ”

"It's you. Yuan Zi said, then looked at the golden eagle and laughed.

"Is there a problem?" asked the young man, confused.

"Nothing. Yuan Zi smiled, and at the same time thought to herself, when Mei Daizi came over, would she make this a supper?

The young man stood still, waved his hand to his chest and saluted, "Under the White Horse Detective, I have long admired the names of my predecessors, Watson was rude just now." ”

"Detective Hakuba!" Mori, Conan, Haruki Motegi, and Senma were all taken aback.

"Garden, who is he?" Lan asked.

"The son of the Metropolitan Police Department's Hakuba Inspector General. "A beautiful woman in her thirties, dressed in a white coat, came over," Ikumi Shirata has seen you. ”

"Ikumi Gunda?" asked Maori, "you're the famous murder scene forensic?"

"That's me. Ikumi Yanita looked around, "Such a famous place, if it weren't closed to the public, I would have wanted to come and see it." ”

"Famous place?" asked Maori.

"Don't you do your homework as a great detective?" asked Haruki Motegi, "do you see those irregular patterns on the walls?"

Lan said: "Speaking of which, these patterns on the wall look so strange. ”

Yuan Zi said: "I don't know who scribbled it, it's not aesthetic at all." ”

Ikumi Gunda said, "In my opinion, these patterns written with life can be called artistic crystallization. As he spoke, he took out a sprayer from the pocket of his white coat and sprayed it at a pattern on a wall, and the blue-purple fluorescent pattern clearly appeared.

Maori was taken aback, "Is this a luminol reagent......?

"Human blood. Senma said.

"Ahh

Haruki Motegi said, "Legend has it that there was a massacre here, and it seems to be true. ”

"Not one massacre, but two. Detective White Horse said.

"Two?" asked Senma Demote.

Yumi Gunda said: "The first scene is naturally the mysterious incident that has not yet come to fruition, and the second scene is the owner of this family who is killing people and killing people here. ”

"Kill people?" Haruki Motegi laughed, "Looks like that's why they came to us." ”

Chima descented to Aki Ishihara and asked, "So, where is the current owner here?"

Aki Ishihara said, "I don't know about this either, because I haven't seen him either. ”

Haruki Motegi frowned and asked, "Then how did you know us?"

"It's all through the Internet, and I don't know how my husband found me. Aki Ishihara said.

"Sir?" asked the White Horse Detective, "is the owner of this place male?"

"I don't know, that's what my sir called me. Aki Ishihara said, "My husband paid a high salary, so I was a little scared, but I came anyway." ”

Yumi Gunda said: "This guy sent me the money directly, and you must be the same." ”

Mori said, "Yes, I still have two million yen in the letter to me. ”

Qianjian said with a smile: "This number should be the same for everyone." ”

Conan praised, "Sister, did you clean this house by yourself? ”

Aki Ishihara said: "No, it was already like this when I came, and Mr. asked me not to touch any furnishings here, just do a rough cleaning." ”

Haruki Motegi said, "That's just to entertain us people. ”

Chima asked, "By the way, the ingredients for dinner were also what your gentleman asked you to prepare, right?"

The white horse detective asked, "Yes, how many people?"

Aki Ishihara said, "There are only six main dishes, but it's not easy to get around, so I bought a lot of extra stuff to entertain Mr. Mori's family." ”

Ikumi Gunda said, "That's good. ”

Haruki Motegi said, "This guy doesn't seem to know everything. ”

Chima degraded with a smile and asked, "What, you were surprised to receive the letter?"

Haruki Motegi said, "Yes, my office has just reopened, and I received this letter. ”

Chima said with a smile: "I see, I'm afraid you didn't want to come, but you thought you were being watched, so you came here without worry." ”

Haruki Motegi smiled, "yes, it seems to be a coincidence now." ”

Maori said: "It's not good to take money and not do things. ”

"Ha, I didn't promise anything, it's good to have such a business every day. Haruki Motegi laughed.

At this time, the sound of helicopters breaking through the wind and snow came. ……
