Chapter 484: The Messenger of the Cursed Mask
After dinner, Su Fanghongzi invited Jiang Sheng and Maori Kogoro respectively, hoping to ask them to investigate the car accident of Katagiri Masaki's wife back then.
However, Jiang Sheng was not interested in this kind of case, so he directly rejected Su Fanghongzi's commission, and Maori Kogoro took over the commission with a commission fee of two million.
"Brother Jiang Sheng, what did you and Uncle Maori do just now?" Conan, who was watching Mao Lilan play tarot divination in the masquerade hall, couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw Jiang Sheng coming back.
Hearing this, Jiang Sheng glanced at Lan Chuan Dongya, who was playing billiards not far away, and leaned over to Conan and whispered, "Just now, Ms. Su Fang came to us and wanted us to help investigate the car accident of Mr. Katagiri's wife twenty years ago. ”
"A car accident twenty years ago? How could Ms. Su Fang suddenly become interested in this matter? When Conan heard Jiang Sheng's words, he subconsciously touched his chin and thought about it, completely unaware of how suspicious he was now.
Since there are many entertainment items for everyone to be together, the time to play flies, and before you know it, it will be 12 o'clock in the night.
When the twin maids saw that the time was up, they came out and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you, but if this mansion reaches twelve o'clock at midnight, the masquerade hall will have to be locked." Once locked, the East and West Wings can no longer be connected to each other, so we must go back to rest before the previous guests are left. ”
Mori Kogoro, who was drinking and drinking, heard this and couldn't help but complain, "Won't it? Twelve o'clock at midnight is just the beginning of the nightlife! ”
"Two big sisters, this place has to be locked every day at twelve o'clock, is there something special?" Hearing this, Conan hurriedly asked in an innocent tone.
The twin maids smiled mysteriously and said, "Because Shaw's masquerades are always pranksters, they will run out to play after twelve o'clock in the night. That's why we had to lock this place away in advance and lock them all in the masquerade hall. ”
When Matsudaira Mamoru heard this, he subconsciously clenched the billiard cue in his hand, and said a little nervously: "It's just nonsense!" ”
Seeing this, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but feel a burst of amusement, this Matsudaira Mamoru was the tallest and strongest person among the people present, but he was also the most afraid of ghosts and ghosts among the people, and it was indeed very disobedient.
One of the maids turned to look at Matsudaira Mamoru and said with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, "This is not nonsense, because after dawn, those masks either tilt from side to side, or fall to the ground!" ”
"Goo-dong!"
Hearing this, Matsudaira Mamoru subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and the billiard cue in his hand tightened.
When the short-haired maid saw that Matsudaira Mamoru was frightened, she showed a dark smile and said, "Then now, please go back to your room and rest!" ”
Although Jiang Sheng and Conan didn't believe the twin maids' words, since it was customary here to close the Kamen Hall every 12 o'clock at midnight, they still had to abide by the rules here.
After everyone left the masquerade hall, the twin maids closed the door of the masquerade hall from both sides.
……
"Dingding......
Just when Mo Xue was lying on the pillow and falling asleep, a shrill phone rang suddenly, directly waking Mo Xue up from her sleep.
"Meow Meow Meow ......"
Mo Xue, who was awakened, was furious, and kept screaming at the landline phone that kept ringing.
"Okay, it's okay."
Jiang Sheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, reached out and touched Mo Xue, and after calming it, he picked up the phone unhurriedly.
"Hahaha...... I am the messenger of the cursed mask......"
As soon as Jiang Sheng picked up the phone, a burst of piercing laughter sounded in the phone, but before the person on the other side finished speaking, he suddenly asked curiously, "Where did you buy this voice changer?" Sounds cute! ”
“……”
The mysterious man on the other end of the phone couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and then continued to say in a strange voice: "Cursed Kamen is now thirsting for blood, who will be our next victim?" ”
Jiang Sheng ignored the mysterious man's words, but asked with a playful face, "What are you talking about?" I'm asking you where you bought your voice changer? ”
"Doodoo ......"
"Cut! I can't even make a joke, so what kind of messenger is I playing the curse mask? Jiang Sheng heard the blind voice coming back from the phone, and said with a dark smile.
"But if you dare to call, then even if it's a challenge to me as a detective, I'll play with you!" After Jiang Sheng muttered to himself, his body moved, pushed open the door and walked out.
When Jiang Sheng walked out of the room, Mori Kogoro and Conan rushed out of the room after them, and it was obvious that they should have also received a call from the 'Cursed Kamen Messenger'.
"Damn, the door is locked!"
When Mori Kogoro arrived at the door of the room connected to the Kamen Hall, he found that the door was locked, and hurriedly shouted to Ran and Conan, "Ran, Conan, you go and call Honami and ask her to bring the key!" ”
"Don't be so troublesome, leave it to me!"
Jiang Sheng stretched out his hand to stop Xiaolan and Conan, who were about to leave, raised his leg and kicked it violently, and his right leg, like an iron whip, directly kicked the entire door open.
"Bang !!"
However, there was a loud bang when the entire door was kicked open, waking up all the other guests who were still asleep. And when Jiang Sheng and the others entered the masquerade hall, they found that all Xiao Bule masquerades had disappeared.
"Ah......h
At the same time that Maori Kogoro's face changed drastically, a cry of pain suddenly sounded upstairs.
Jiang Sheng's face changed slightly: "It's not good, upstairs is Ms. Su Fang's room!" ”
Since the legend of the Shaw Mask is that these cursed masks will suck the blood of the bearer, combined with the call from the 'Cursed Mask Messenger' just now, it is very likely that Ms. Su Fang was poisoned.
When Mori Kogoro heard Ms. Su Fang's scream, he immediately turned around and ran towards the third floor, but when he ran to the third floor, he found that the passage and Ms. Su Fang's room had been sealed, leaving only a row of exhaust vents with a gap of less than ten centimeters.
Jiang Sheng, on the other hand, directly kicked the other door of the masquerade hall, and then took Conan and them from the stairs of the west wing to the front of Ms. Su Fang's room.
