"Servant? Tonight is just me and Mr. Butler here to serve you, and the servants will all go back after they have made dinner. After all...... It's dark tonight!"

Just as Ms. Furuzawa was talking about the sky, there was a sudden thunderclap outside, and then the sound of rain became louder.

Ms. Gu Ze looked at Lin Xiuyi, and then shook her head a little helplessly, Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu smiled in response. At this moment, Mr. Asai, who was standing aside and chatting with the guests, suddenly called the other party away.

"Rude, allow me to leave first, and if you need anything, please greet me at any time. ”

Seeing Ms. Gu Ze's departure, Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu returned a salute to each other's backs.

Free time before dinner for a tour is over quickly. When Mr. Asai beckoned all the guests to the upstairs banquet hall, Hayashi Shuichi and Gen Zhizhu immediately followed.

The banquet hall on the second floor is not very large, but the long dining tables and orderly tableware all show the solemnity of the place. Under the arrangement of Butler Shibata and Ms. Furuzawa, everyone sat down on the seats with their names written on them. What made Lin Xiuyi feel a little strange was that it was not Yuan Zhizhu who was arranged by his side.

Lin Xiu raised his arm consciously, and suddenly he felt as if his hand had been hit by someone.

"Ah...... Sorry!"

"Ah...... No, it doesn't matter!"

Lin Xiuyi smiled and said to the gentleman sitting beside him. It turned out that the other party accidentally touched himself when adjusting the chair just now. Then the gentleman saw the watch in Lin Xiu's hand at a glance, and couldn't help but praise him:

"Nice watch!"

"Thank you, this was given to me by my former friends!"

"Monumental, right?"

"Sort of!"

"It's a good thing our watches didn't touch each other, otherwise you wouldn't have forgiven me!"

The other party said to Lin Xiuyi with a friendly attitude, and then stretched out his hand to introduce himself.

"Meet René Maurice, from France, is your Excellency also a collector in Japan?"

"No, we came at the invitation of Mr. Asai. ”

Just when Lin Xiuyi was communicating with Mr. Morris in English without saying a word, Ms. Gu Ze suddenly came to the middle of the two and said softly:

"I'm sorry!"

Ms. Furuzawa raised the bottle and poured some pre-dinner aperitifs for each of them, then smiled and said goodbye to the two of them, and continued to the next guest, while Butler Shibata followed behind Ms. Furuzawa, quietly pushing the food cart to follow each other, with a kind smile on his face. Seeing that Ms. Gu Ze had already started pouring wine for everyone, Lin Xiuyi also raised his head and counted the number of people attending the dinner a little, except for him and Yuan Zhizhu, there were the other six guests sitting at the table. If you add the butler Shibata, the art director Furuzawa, and the president Asai, there are a total of 11 people here.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

When Ms. Furuzawa poured an aperitif for everyone and returned to her seats, President Asai suddenly knocked on the glass in front of her to attract everyone's attention. There was a sudden silence in the banquet hall. All eyes were on President Asai.

"Thank you all for coming, especially Mr. Spencer and Mr. Brunel, who have come all the way from England, your collection has been an eye-opener. Then there are Mr. Maurice and Ms. Miprede from France, both of whom have an impressed understanding of classical school. There were also two collectors from Switzerland, Mr. Jung and Ms. Oneg, whose views on Impressionism really opened up a new world for me as a guy living in Tokyo......"

Mr. Asai expressed his gratitude to everyone present, while Ms. Furuzawa, who sat to his left, sat at the table and listened quietly. As long as the butler, Mr. Shibata, stands quietly behind Mr. Asai, waiting for the time to serve the dishes to the guests.

Mr. Asai's opening remarks were short, and it ended in less than five minutes. When the dinner officially began, Mr. Shibata began to serve each guest a delicious lobster soup.

As soon as Lin Xiu lifted the soup spoon, he gently skimmed a spoonful and put it into his mouth. In just a moment, my body, which had been feeling a little weak from the cold and exhaustion just a moment ago, suddenly felt warm.

A bowl of fresh soup was quickly drunk by Lin Xiuyi, and Lin Xiuyi, who had no appetite, suddenly felt a little hungry.

"The appetizer soup before the meal is very good!"

"Yes!"

When Morris, his neighbor, asked him, Lin Xiuyi casually praised.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the otherwise bright hall was plunged into darkness.

"Click!"

A thunderclap sounded, which couldn't help but make people feel a little uneasy, and Lin Xiuyi hurriedly touched his mobile phone......

"Ah~~!"

A heart-rending shout came suddenly, Lin Xiuyi hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a figure standing by the window, which made people extremely frightened.

"Boom!"

When the lights came on again in the dining room. Lin Xiuyi was horrified to find that Mr. Shibata, who was originally standing by the window, suddenly covered his chest, and at this moment, a sharp arrow came out of nowhere and pierced his chest. Mr. Shibata covered his chest with one hand, and reached for the entrance of the banquet hall with the other, and just as Lin Shuichi was about to check the situation at the entrance, Mr. Shibata suddenly stumbled and fell directly on the window.

"Whoa!"

With the sound of glass breaking, Shibata was planted outside the window. Lin Xiuyi hurriedly got up and chased after him.

"Mr. Shibata, Mr. Shibata!"

Lin Xiuyi poked his head out of the window, and a sudden thunder in the sky made Lin Xiuyi clearly see the Shibata housekeeper who had fallen to the ground downstairs. Just when Lin Xiuyi was about to run downstairs to check on Mr. Shibata's injuries, he suddenly saw Mr. Shibata's body being pulled in suddenly.

"Ah~~!"

The lights in the dining room went out again, and with them came bursts of female calls. Lin Xiuyi hurriedly raised his mobile phone to check his surroundings, and when he turned around, he saw Yuan Zhizhu's anxious expression.

"Xiu Yijun, what's going on?"

"Inspector, there may be outsiders in the villa, call the police!"

"Listen, everyone, stay calm in your seats, I'll go close the door of the restaurant!"

Lin Xiu shouted, and hurriedly ran towards the door of the banquet hall with the memory just now. The direction of Mr. Shibata's finger just now was the door of the banquet hall, could it be that he saw the face of the real murderer in the lightning and thunder just now?
