Looking at the three people standing outside the iron gate, Takato recognized them at a glance - Shinichi Kudo, Moriran and Sonoko Suzuki! I didn't expect them to find themselves first. Seeing the bag of the dessert shop in their hands, Gao Yuan probably knew what they were coming for.

"Excuse me. My name is Moriran, and I'm a classmate of Shinichi Kudo. ”

Mao Lilan on the side introduced himself politely.

"Hello, I'm also Sonoko Suzuki, who is in the same class as them."

Sonoko Suzuki also said.

"I heard that a new neighbor had moved near Kudo's classmate, so I took the liberty to visit, and this is a souvenir we just bought, and I hope to accept it."

Mao Lilan said as he showed the gift bag in his hand.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan walked to the iron gate and opened the door for them.

"Hello, my name is Wise Gaoyuan, I will live here forever in the future, please advise."

Gao Yuan accepted the gift and said.

"If you don't mind, come in and sit down."

"Is that okay?"

Maoliran replied politely.

"Absolutely. But since I just moved in yesterday, I haven't packed up yet, so you don't mind. ”

"How can you mind? It is our pleasure. ”

Mao Lilan replied without leaking, and under the leadership of Gao Yuan, the three of them walked into this villa.

Walking through the hallway to the hall, I saw that there was only a rectangular table and matching chairs, and the rest of the place was still empty and unfurnished.

"I really just moved in and didn't pack anything."

Suzuki Sonoko said a little speechless when she saw this scene.

"yes, I really don't have anything here, please bear with me."

Gao Yuan said, pulled out the chair next to the table, and motioned for the three of them to sit down.

"I only have barley tea, is that okay?"

After the three of them sat down on the chairs, Gao Yuan came to the kitchen, brought the large bottle of barley tea he had just bought and three new cups to the table, poured the drink into the cups, and put them in front of the three of them.

"You are too polite, Mr. Wise."

Mao Lilan said politely, and the three of them were not polite, and took the drink poured by Gao Yuan.

"Speaking of which, Shinichi Kudo, you're the famous high school detective."

Also sitting on the chair, Takato happened to sit opposite Kudo Shinichi and looked at what he said.

"Yes, yes."

From the moment he entered the door, Kudo Shinichi was looking around at the structure of this villa, and he didn't speak, and now Takato took the initiative to ask him, so he answered casually.

"Speaking of which, what does Mr. Wise do?"

Maoliran asked.

"Judging by your age, is it possible to be a college student?"

Sonoko Suzuki took over the topic and said.

"I'm honest, I'm actually a detective too."

Gao Yuan replied in the face of the two people's inquiries, and it turned out that this obviously aroused the interest of the three people.

"Hey, Mr. Wise is also a detective!"

Kudo Shinichi said with some joy in the hunt.

"yes. To tell you the truth, I also took over this villa from someone else, and before you came here, I was still thinking about this villa. Since Kudo-san lives on the side, do you know what's wrong with this villa? ”

Takato said straight to the point, and it could be seen that Kudo Shinichi seemed to be very interested in this villa, and he thought he should know something.

"Huh? Doesn't Mr. Wise know? ”

Maolilan was a little surprised, "About a year ago, there were rumors of haunting here. It's just that because this villa has never been occupied, no one knows what is going on. ”

"A year ago, around midnight, there were sometimes strange noises coming from this villa, but by a month ago they hadn't been heard again. But about half a month ago, I heard Dr. Asa next door say that one night it seemed that the lights in this villa were on. ”

Shinichi Kudo added a lot of details.

Gao Yuan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and then told the three of them what he knew.

"In other words, theoretically, this villa should not have been visited for three years, but the hall here obviously doesn't look like no one has been here for three years?"

After listening to Takato's narration, Kudo Shinichi concluded, "It's really interesting! ”

"Shinichi, that's rude."

Seeing Kudo Shinichi say this, Mao Lilan reminded in a low voice.

"I feel the same way!"

Regarding Kudo Shinichi's performance, Takato was not surprised and expressed the same opinion.

"In that case, would Kudo-san be interested in exploring this villa together?"

Takato proposed.

"That's exactly what I wanted!"

Kudo Shinichi got up from the chair excitedly, and then began to check in the various rooms, and Mao Lilan on the side saw this, and immediately got up and followed.

"Shinichi, wouldn't that be too rude?"

"What's wrong? Didn't everyone agree? ”

Shinichi Kudo responded.

"But what if we do find out that there are ghosts?"

Mao Lilan leaned against Kudo Shinichi with some fear and said.

"What are you afraid of, how can there be ghosts in this world?"

Looking at the two people who acted together, Suzuki Sonoko said "sure enough" helplessly, and then looked at Gao Yuan, who was thinking, and was embarrassed to disturb, so he also followed Kudo and them to wander around the villa.

At this time, Gao Yuan was thinking about what Kudo Shinichi said just now, those strange voices didn't care about him first, since someone saw the lights on in this villa at night half a month ago, it was obvious that someone must have entered here!

Although the water and electricity in this villa have never been cut off over the years, if no one is inside, the lights can't be turned on, so how do outsiders get in? After all, the key has always been in the hands of Shimada's lawyer, and no outsiders can touch it.

It is impossible to pick the lock, after all, the doors and windows I saw when I came yesterday were locked, and the key I got could open the door normally.

Is it possible to have a master of lockpicking? But what is the purpose of doing this?

This is also what Gao Yuan has always found strange: a villa that has not been lived in for several years, and someone has broken in. But there's no money to steal here, and it doesn't look like someone has lived there temporarily, so what's going on?

"Ahh

Mao Lilan's exclamation broke the originally quiet atmosphere of the villa.

Hearing the sound of Gao Yuan, he hurriedly ran towards the source of the sound.

When I came to a room on the first floor, I saw that a custom bookshelf that was originally fixed on the wall suddenly moved away, revealing a dark passage behind it, and Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi stood on the side, showing some surprise, and Mao Lilan covered his mouth in surprise.

"Garden, are you alright?"

Maoliran shouted into the passage.

"I'm fine."

Suzuki's voice came from underground, which surprised Takato.

"What's going on?"

Takato asked.

"When we were checking in this room just now, the garden didn't know what to come across, and the bookshelf suddenly moved away, and then she accidentally fell down."

Maolilan explained.

"Kudo! Xiaolan! This is a basement! ”

Sonoko Suzuki said as if she had recovered from her panic.

"However, there is no basement on the floor plan of this villa!"

Gao Yuan said in surprise at what the garden said.
