Chapter 105: Death's Invitation (4)

They got out of the boat and stood on the island.

Anyway, the island is quite large, and looking forward from the wharf, you can see a forest area, which has obviously been transformed by professionals, with courtyards, stone paths, wooden bridges, long cobblestone paths, and a small river dug by hand.

In short, it is like a park, covering an area of at least a few kilometers, when the snow is pressing down on the treetops, there are some fallen leaves on the wooden bridge, and the scenery is very simple and beautiful in the Japanese style.

And this forest area is actually only a small part of this island, because as long as you look up, you can see that in the wind and snow, there is also a mountain, although it is not very high, but it is definitely not short, if you want to climb it, it will take at least half an hour.

Such a huge island, as well as such a beautiful forest garden, confirmed Lu Yuan's idea even more...... That's this [Ichiro Sato], who is definitely a big shot.

Sure enough, before Lu Yuan could put down his thoughts, two housekeeper-looking people walked over, and because everyone was stunned by the beautiful scenery of the island, they didn't notice these two housekeepers for a while.

The head of the person is the head of the housekeeper at first glance, about 60 years old, tall, no hunchback posture with a chest at all, hair and beard are very neatly managed, definitely the kind of shrewd and capable housekeeper type, and absolutely handsome when he was young. At this time, he was dressed in a typical butler attire, a suit, a white shirt, and a bow tie, and held an umbrella with a layer of snow on it, and he had obviously been standing in the snow for a long time.

Behind the old butler stood a young man in a suit, who looked to be in his 20s, who did not hold an umbrella himself, but held eight black umbrellas in his hands.

When the old butler saw that the people had disembarked, he immediately came up and bowed very politely.

"Hello everyone, I'm the chief steward of this island, you can call me Sato Ken." He said.

(In large Japanese families, a housekeeper can be given the surname of the head of the house, which is a great honor for the housekeeper.) )

After saying that, he glanced at the young man behind him, and the young man immediately came to everyone with a stack of umbrellas, and gave one hand to everyone. And he himself is still standing in the wind and snow.

This treatment is much better than those five-star hotels, and everyone present is a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Takeru Sato spoke again: "I'm glad that you can come all the way to the banquet, so now, please come with me to the banquet hall." ”

So saying, he prepared to turn around and show the way to the people.

However, the players were obviously not ready to start like this, and they saw that [Chu Xuan 3881] immediately stopped the old butler.

"Uh...... Please wait. ”

"Oh? Is there anything wrong with this gentleman? The old butler asked.

"I wanted to ask...... Do you know us? ”

The old butler shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"Huh? It's strange that we don't know His Excellency Ichiro Sato, so why did we receive the invitation? ”

"If you have these questions, please ask this gentleman to come with me to the banquet hall, and when the time comes, the head of the family will naturally answer all your doubts."

As he spoke, the old butler turned around and took a step, and the posture was to say, 'Don't ask, I won't answer you if you ask, hurry up and follow me.' ’

So, everyone had no choice but to follow him in the direction of the mountain.

Oh, by the way, there was another thing that happened just now, and that was when the captain told the people that he couldn't just stay here all the time, that he had to go home, and that he would be there on time to pick them up in two days.

In other words, as soon as Lao Tzu walks on the front foot, several of you will be trapped on this island.

And this development is actually expected by everyone, after all, there is a Grim Reaper next to him, just in this realm, if there is not a drama like 'Isolated Island Desperate Situation', it will insult his name [Grim Reaper].

Therefore, everyone had no objections, so they waved their hands and said goodbye to the captain.

......

After about half an hour, everyone finally followed the old butler to the top of the mountain, and the banquet hall was also on the top of the mountain.

(The mountain road is not only a step road, but also a step-by-step road.) )

Although the mountain looks small from below, as soon as you come up, you will find that the area at the top of the mountain is definitely not small, with parks, hot springs, houses with Japanese characteristics, and even two seven- or eight-story buildings that look like hotels in the distance, and the whole hot spring resort.

When everyone was amazed at the sight, Sato Ken said calmly, "Come with me, everyone." ”

Then, we took everyone to a building that can only be described as 'luxurious'.

Here, it is the banquet hall, its interior is very simple, that is, a huge gold-rimmed carpet in the middle, there is a row of small tables and futons on the left and right sides, and the place facing the gate is a relatively brighter 'host chair'.

But it's such a simple structure, but it shows luxury and corruption almost to the fullest. Everyone can even make up the scene of the palace ministers holding a banquet in the costume drama.

At this time, there were already some people sitting in this banquet hall.

Most of these people, Lu Yuan has never seen, except for two middle-aged men.

Here, I won't describe these two in detail, because as long as you say the name, everyone can automatically make up the image.

One of them is the taller one of them is [Mori Kogoro]

The other one who is relatively short and fat is [Officer Twilight].

The two seemed to have been waiting in the hall for a long time, but no food had come up, so they were both very unhappy and complained to each other.

Now......

"Dad~"

I heard Xiaolan shout behind him, so he dragged Conan and ran in the direction of Kogoro, and then sat down with him.

The remaining six players all followed Takeru Sato's guidance and sat on the other side.

During this period, the six players on Lu Yuan's side all looked at the few unfamiliar faces sitting on the opposite side of the hall.

Obviously, the men had come to the island by boat with Kogoro Mori. In other words, among those few people, there should also be players......

But in this situation, no one will really go up to talk to him, because no one wants to show too much abnormality, so everyone sits quietly and waits for the so-called 'head of the house' to appear.

And this 'head of the house' didn't make everyone wait too long, and soon, it appeared......

......

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time." An old voice came.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a nurse, pushing a wheelchair and walking out, there was a very old man sitting in the wheelchair, Lu Yuan looked at it, this old man is estimated to be about 90 years old, although he can still see a bit of hard taste on his face, but the body and skin have obvious signs of aging. Let's just put it this way, if this old man dies after eating, then Lu Yuan will definitely not be surprised.

Soon, the old man was pushed to the center of the master's seat, facing the crowd below.

"Ahem." He coughed twice: "I think everyone knows who I am, yes, I'm Ichiro Sato." ”

"But...... I don't know anyone in this room except Mr. Maori's family and Officer Twilight...... Of course, I'm not interested in hearing from you. ”

"I know that all of you have a question in your mind, and that is, why am I sending you an invitation?"

The answer is...... I didn't send the invitations to all of you, but I sent 50 random invitations to 50 random people throughout Tokyo, except for the Mori family and Officer Twilight. ”

"So now it seems that only 10 of the 50 lucky ones seized the opportunity to come to the banquet."

"So...... What is the purpose of this banquet? ”

"The answer is simply one word."

"That's it...... Kill! ”

After saying that, the entire hall suddenly went dark!
