At the time of parting, everyone left the villa, and Katagiri Masaki and the others stood by the car parked in the courtyard with a sigh, looking at the tall brick-red mansion behind them.

From Gao Cheng solving the mystery of the case to the present, several people still haven't recovered from the unbelievable criminal methods, the house seems to have really received the curse of the mask, and the blood-stained mask has always been indelible in everyone's hearts.

As if rumored, this is the mansion where the cursed mask lives......

Gao Cheng looked back at the castle-like building, and his eyes fell on the twin maids who were also about to move away, and the two girls were holding hands, looking pitiful in the cold wind.

"Now, little mourning." Gao Cheng called out to the gray plain next to him, who didn't talk much.

"What?"

"The downstairs store of the office is empty anyway, how about opening a maid coffee shop?"

"Huh?" Gray Plains was stunned.

……

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and as the New Year approached, the weather was colder, and even Gao Cheng accidentally caught a cold.

"It's so uncomfortable, uh-a-cough."

On the 3rd floor of the office, Gao Cheng was wearing a mask, his forehead was hot, and his eyes were deeply covered as if he hadn't slept for a few days.

Once you get sick, it's very uncomfortable to do anything, and I can't even sleep, obviously Xiao Ai had a nightmare yesterday that caused him not to sleep all night, just listening to Xiao Ai's breath......

It was a torturous day.

"Ah, my maid's café hasn't been done yet...... Ahem. ”

"I don't want to get up."

"I don't want to move."

"Uh-ahem, dry mouth......"

Propping up his weak body, he got up and poured himself a glass of water groggily, only to find that it was snowing outside.

Fortunately, there was no commission at this time, otherwise it would be really troublesome......

"Ding Dong!" The doorbell suddenly rang from downstairs.

"Won't it?" Gao Cheng turned his neck stiffly.

In the office on the second floor, Gao Cheng poured a glass of water and sat on the sofa without much energy: "Sorry, you also saw it, I happened to have a cold, and if something is commissioned, it may take a few days." ”

"Uh......"

The new name Kahori sat on the opposite side of the sofa with a little embarrassment, looking at Gao Chengdao, who looked sickly: "It's me who should apologize, bother you, right?" ”

"No, I'm bored too...... What's the matter? cough," Gao Cheng pushed the teacup into the front of the incense protection, "don't you drink?" This time it's really a famous tea. ”

"Well, I really don't need to."

Xiang Baoli looked at Gao Cheng with a dry smile and coughed repeatedly: "Actually, it's not a commission, I just want to know about the case that the detectives of Xiachenghu have solved." ”

"The case I've solved?" Gao Cheng raised an eyebrow.

He didn't know how many cases he had encountered in so long, most of them snatched from Uncle Maori......

"Well," Kahoori nodded, "I didn't want to bother Detective Joto so much, but Mr. Mori doesn't seem to be willing to say it." ”

“……”

Gao Cheng's eyelids collapsed.

Of course, there are only a few cases that the uncle remembers back and forth, and I don't know how many times I have said it on the TV show.

"Because I've been serializing a new series of left characters recently," Kaobori said distressedly, "but it just happened to be a little bit of a cardin, and I thought about whether to take a break from the issue to apologize to readers or something, and then the editorial department said that it would be good to learn from Detective Joto's case again......"

Gao Cheng's eyelids are heavier.

The stingy editorial department must have deliberately asked Xiang Baoli to come over by himself, so that he was embarrassed to collect money.

"Well," Kaohori said embarrassedly, "I think I'd better ask Mr. Mori again, your cold seems to be really serious......

After a few hours, the atmosphere in the office became more and more lively.

"Huh? Is it true? Miss Champoli also doesn't want to code words? Gao Cheng was taken aback.

"yes, I accidentally caught a cold while I was rushing to write a manuscript, and then I couldn't help but code, and it was really hard to work when I was sick," Kaohori chuckled, "so I can quite understand how Detective Joto feels right now." ”

"I thought it was easy to make money at home." Gao Cheng subconsciously thought of Conan's world-renowned mystery writer Dad.

Xiang Baoli looked at the time and said apologetically: "I should leave too, thank you so much today, Detective Joto, you are sick and still bother you so much......"

"It's nothing, I feel better when I move."

Gao Cheng looked out the window where the snow was still falling.

It's almost time for Xiao Ai to come back......

……

At Didan Elementary School, Gray Yuan walked out of the school gate with his schoolbag on his back, and the mobile phone in his coat pocket suddenly rang.

Answering the phone and glancing at Ayumi and the others who were playing on the side, Gray Yuan laughed softly and helplessly: "It's already out of school, I'll go back to cooking now, you can take some cold medicine and sleep first, detective." ”

Conan noticed Gray Yuan answering the phone next to him: "What's wrong?" Did that guy from Joto catch a cold? ”

Gray Yuan nodded: "Well, I've been feeling uncomfortable since the morning, and after lying in the office for a day, even I seem to be infected." ”

"Oh? That guy actually catches a cold, too? I'll go see him with you later. ”

"Aren't you afraid of catching a cold too?"

"It's so easy."

There was a layer of snow piled up on both sides of the street, and Ayumi in front of her happily threw snowballs, unknowingly passing by a familiar pedestrian bridge.

The crow landed on the telephone pole, and the black cat in the alley stared at the side of the road, vaguely overlapping with the nightmare.

Gray Plains looked around suspiciously as he walked, and a cold air gradually rose behind him, as if he saw countless crows flying in blood red......

"What is this?"

Passing through the intersection, Gray Yuan suddenly stopped, his eyes trembled and he looked closely at the black Porsche in front of him, as if he had been immobilized by a spell, and his eyes were full of horror.

Out, appeared......

Conan turned around suspiciously: "What happened to this black Porsche?" The Porsche 356A is a 50-year-old antique car...... and I have only seen it on TV and in books, but I didn't expect anyone to drive this kind of car. ”

Seeing that the driver was not there, Conan curiously leaned over the window to take a look.

"Gin," said Ashbara with his head down, "Gin's car is like this. ”

……

"Bang!"

On the 3rd floor of the office, Gao Cheng slept and opened his eyes in a daze, and reached out to get the water cup uncomfortably, but he didn't expect the cup to fall to the ground.

"Ah, why hasn't Xiao Ai come back yet."

Gao Cheng looked at the time, and then looked out the window worriedly.

It was already past 6 o'clock, it was already dark, and dinner was ready by this time of the day.

It's not that he's in a hurry to eat, he doesn't have much appetite when he has a cold, but he's just afraid that something will happen to Xiao Ai.

These days, Xiao Wai has had several nightmares one after another, and there is always a little bit of a non-wanting to implicate others in his words, which is really not reassuring......

"Ah...... Let's call again...... You won't be too long-winded...... Uh-a-cough, it's so uncomfortable, and I've been chatting with Kaohori for a long time, and it seems to be getting worse......"

"Come back soon!"

University Hall Press, the editorial department received a call from the new name Kahori: "Sorry, cough cough, it seems that I accidentally contracted a cold, so let's take a break." ”

"Oh, cold......"

The editor was stunned and took the phone for a long time to react: "Eh? New Name Teacher! ”
