Between the ceremonies was a separate bungalow with a brick-red roof, which looked quite mysterious, and in a spacious room inside, there was a fire worship star in a black evening dress and a young man who looked a little unruly sitting around the round table in the middle, and when Gao Cheng followed into the room, there was a young maid pushing a dining cart to lay out the tea.

"Disturbed ......"

Gao Cheng sat down at the round table with Jing Ze and a few people with a polite smile in front of the fire worship star, and couldn't help but look around curiously.

A red square carpet is laid in the middle of the wooden floor, and a floor lamp with bat wings decorated with strange shapes, adding a magical atmosphere to the room through the yellow light of the lampshade, and two windows next to it are covered by curtains.

"Let everyone wait for a long time," Huo Xi Xiao walked into the ceremony with a young girl wearing a black dress and a lively double pill head, "Most of you here know the rapid development of our Huo Xi Company in the past five years, this is because of the mysterious power brought by the black magic we believe in, so there is a black magic ceremony every month......

Gao Cheng's expression tightened slightly.

Black magic is not an ordinary kind of magic show, to be precise, it should be witchcraft black magic, although I don't know if this kind of weird thing really exists in this world, but Kentaro Izawa is right, this fire ritual family is indeed a little abnormal.

Huo Xixiao's eyes swept over Gao Cheng, and said with a slight smile: "Although it is called black magic, it is by no means a worship of demons, the black magic we believe in is more noble and noble, it can be called a philosophical thought, capitalism is competition, competition is to exploit the interests of others, so cursing this kind of thing is a legitimate means that has been handed down from ancient times......"

Gao Cheng squeezed his brows and didn't make a sound, just silently looked at Huo Xixiao who was speaking.

Since coming to the fire worship house, he has gradually trusted Kentaro Izawa's judgment that there must be some secret to the death of the former president......

"Then," Huo Xixiao stepped aside and said, "Next, let me introduce the black magician this time, the teacher of the Black Melon Ghost Gate......

A blonde man in a black suit and a mask walked into the ceremony from behind Huo Xixiao, his elusive gaze casually looked at Gao Cheng, and he chuckled at the corner of his mouth: "Hello, I am the black magician who presided over this ceremony, the black melon ghost sect ......"

The maid passed by Gao Cheng, took away the teacup on the table, and completely revealed the masked man in front of Gao Cheng, and an invisible aura directly pressed on Gao Cheng's body.

Gao Cheng looked closely at the masked man's eyes, and the smiling face he had when he last met Gao Yuanyao came to mind.

This feeling of familiarity......

"I'm sorry," the masked man walked straight to Gao Cheng's side, grabbed the white tablecloth and ripped it open, "ritual...... Get started now! ”

Gao Cheng stood up from his chair and looked at the table where the pentagram magic array appeared with everyone, and the golden tadpole text seemed to be wandering on the table.

"It's ......"

"There's nothing strange about it," the masked man looked at the maid who began to set up the props, and smiled at Gao Cheng, "In the West, black magic is a common thing to use in business, and it's not as scary as you think......"

"Excuse me," puzzled the maid, "don't you need candles?" The previous magicians were useful......"

"It's enough to have this magic lamp next to it," the masked man pointed to the floor lamp, and when he saw the surprised expressions of everyone in the Flame Worship Family, he chuckled and said, "Don't you all know yet?" In fact, this lampshade is made of human skin......

"Stylistically, it should have been made in England in the 19th century, when the Industrial Revolution was at a high speed, and this kind of underground mysticism was also popular......"

"It's true that this lamp was there when my father bought it, but I didn't expect it to have such a secret."

The faces of the people in the fire worship family are different, some are calm, some are disgusted, and some are afraid...... There is also excitement, if it is not for the beginning of the ceremony, I am afraid that I would like to study the mysterious floor lamp well.

The strange and strange black magic ceremony lasted for more than an hour, and several people from the fire worship family and the black melon ghost sect kept chanting incantations that they couldn't understand or understand, and Gao Cheng could only be a few spectators on the side of Xiaoqiao Xian.

It was right not to let Mitsuhiko's children come over, otherwise those guys would definitely not be able to stand it......

Gao Cheng raised his arms and looked at the black melon ghost gate who was holding a magic sword and kept chanting spells.

It's very similar to the feeling that Gao Yuanyaoyi gave him, but I'm not sure that this guy is Gao Yuanyaoyi......

If it's Gao Yuanyaoyi, what is the purpose of this guy?

"This is the end of the ceremony, thank you very well," as the lights in the room turned on again, the black melon ghost gate solemnly put away the magic sword, "Now that there are spirits descending in this ceremony, in order to maintain the effect of the curse, please don't let this magic lamp go out......"

After speaking, he turned around and left: "Then, then gather in the living room of the main building at 12 o'clock in the evening, and don't enter this room until then." ”

"It's finally over......"

"But is this lampshade really made of human skin? It's disgusting. ”

The rebellious young man stood up, not wanting to see the floor lamp very much, and hurriedly followed the fire ceremony to leave the ceremony.

"He's Jiuyao, Xingzi's brother," Kentaro Izawa took the initiative to introduce before Gao Cheng could ask him, "I haven't been here much, but I heard Xingzi say that his brother is a little nervous, especially after the killing of President Qinglong, he always said that someone wanted to kill him, and his attitude towards Xingzi became worse and worse." ”

"What a strange family," Gao Cheng walked to the floor lamp with his elbow, "How did President Qinglong adopt them?" ”

Izawa shook his head: "It's not clear, they don't seem to like to talk about these things......"

"Don't you even say Xingzi?"

"Well, there seems to be something unspeakable......"

Gao Cheng squatted down and looked at the wires sewn into the carpet by the base of the floor lamp, which looked very old.

"Huh?"

Gao Cheng's fingers touched the carpet along the wires, and found that the wires went directly under the carpet before being connected to the socket next to the wall.

In the middle of the whole square carpet, someone cut it along the square edge of the inside, and only the other end was opened together.

When the carpet was lifted, a secret door on the floor appeared in front of Gao Cheng's eyes.

"Sure enough, there is a secret, this room used to perform black magic rituals......"

"No, Mr. Joto!" The maid packed up the props and came back, and when she saw Gao Cheng's movements, she immediately said anxiously, "The master said that you can't lift the carpet!" ”

Gao Cheng's finger stopped on the secret door: "Why is there a door here......"

"That door is the entrance to the old basement," Secretary Esaki appeared in the doorway, "The former president, Mr. Aolong, liked that basement very much, which is why the black magic ceremony was held here......"

"Basement?"

"Yes, although I also want to know the truth about the death of President Qinglong, there can't be any clues in this basement, because it has been abandoned by groundwater infiltration long ago."

Kentaro Izawa nodded: "I also heard President Qinglong say in this basement, it existed before he bought this place, and there are many terrifying torture instruments in it, it seems to be a torture room." ”

"Does everyone know about this place?" Gao Cheng frowned.

"Yes, because of President Seiryu," Kentaro Izawa said with a wry smile, "Joto senior, I heard Kobashi say your deeds, don't worry, this case has the identity of the detective involved, and it will definitely come to light soon." ”

"Perhaps."

Gao Cheng shook his head, thinking about restoring the carpet.

There must be some secrets in the Flame Worship Family, but it may not be so simple to investigate clearly.

Let's let Xiao Ai check the past of the Flame Worship Family first, and by the way, ask Officer Twilight about the incident in which President Qinglong was killed, maybe there are clues available.

……

"Ah Yi, I won't let you leave, never again! Don't leave me ......"

In the lakeside villa, Xiao Wai was lying on the bed in pajamas, watching TV quietly alone, moving her legs and feet from time to time to bite a snack at hand.

No one disturbs, a comfortable life is a pleasure, and it is right not to go to the Grape House......

"Didi!" The mobile phone that was thrown at the bedside suddenly rang, and when he saw Gao Cheng's call displayed on the screen, Xiao Wai's eyelids instantly sank.
