Chapter 210: The Game Officially Begins
"The protagonist is finally going to appear, and it's really exciting!"
The young detective, who called himself the White Horse Detective, put down the billiard cue in his hand and said with a relaxed face.
Dressed in a dark blue suit, with an eagle standing on his shoulder, his strength should not be underestimated.
"I sincerely welcome all detectives to this Twilight Annex, please take your seats first, and every seat has your name on it."
The restaurant is arranged in two rows, each seat has a name tag, and the owner sits in front of him, dressed like a villain boss from a TV series.
Both eyes glowed red, and the whole person was wrapped in a purple robe.
Everyone complained silently in their hearts, but they still sat patiently in their respective positions.
"As for the purpose of inviting you here this time, I mainly hope that you can help me dig up the treasure that is currently hidden somewhere in this annex, it took me many years to get this wealth, even if I try my best to find it."
As the master's words fell, there was a rumbling sound outside, and it was obvious that their cars parked in the yard were all detonated by the master.
Mochizuki didn't say anything, but his heart hurt badly, except for their cars in the yard, which were rented, the rest of the people were all expensive sports cars.
So many fixed assets, maybe more than the unknown wealth of this castle, are all blown up now.
"I don't have any ill will towards you, I just want to block your way, you have been chasing me in the past, and we should occasionally swap positions between us."
There was a hint of pride in the master's voice, and without waiting for everyone to express their opinions, he continued to speak.
"Of course, you don't have to think about going on, to be honest, the suspension bridge you just crossed was a pile of wreckage when the car blew up, and if you want to leave, you have to do what I say."
"Then the rules of the game are that as long as someone unlocks the secrets of this annex and finds the hidden treasures, then he will get a way out of this castle, and at the same time, he will get half of the wealth of this castle."
The master's voice was full of temptation, but everyone present, except for Mochizuki and Maori Kogoro, were all masters who were not short of money.
Several of the IQ leaders had cold faces, showing little interest in this obsessive treasure hunt.
"Uh~ah!"
A roar of pain was mixed with a familiar scream, and Detective Ogami, who was immersed in the desire to eat, suddenly fell to the ground clutching his neck, contributing to the first scream of the night.
Everyone showed disgust at his pompous performance, but Mochizuki suddenly had no desire to eat the food in his hand.
Because in the place where everyone could not see, a pale yellow phantom was floating up from the body of the great detective, and then slowly disappeared into the air as if it had received a traction.
"He's dead!"
Mochizuki tugged at Zhufu's sleeve, and the two of them happened to sit across from the hapless detective.
After the master had explained his purpose and plate, he instructed the maid to serve the food in the order that had been agreed.
But the rebellious detectives did not intend to take their seats at the behest of this impudent host.
A few people re-selected their seats according to their preferences, intending to go outside to find a way to get out of here after enjoying this rather hearty dinner.
"Hydride poisoning, there's no way to save it!"
Hearing Mochizuki's reminder, Conan walked on his short legs and ran up first, skillfully attached to Detective Ogami's mouth and sniffed.
The immature voice shattered the temporary harmony in the restaurant, and Haruki Motegi, who had the hottest temper, rushed to the master with one arrow.
He picked up the strangely dressed owner, only to find a dummy head with an audio tape in it.
"The first scream has been heard, who will be next?"
"I'm still saying that, find out the hidden treasures in the annex, and you can get a way out of here, otherwise you will sleep here!"
The owner is intriguing
The sound came out little by little with the stuttering tape, adding a solemn atmosphere to the silent restaurant.
"Damn, where the hell is that master, who dares to kill someone!"
Mori Kogoro rushed up to the maid lady and yelled angrily.
"Well, in fact, like you, I haven't met the owner of this annex, and all the arrangements are made by the owner through the computer."
The maid lady was already sitting on the ground with her feet limp, trembling like a sieve.
"However, the master must have been to the annex today, and when I came here today, there was already a car parked in the courtyard."
The maid seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and pulled everyone out in a panic.
The flames burning in the courtyard of the annex had dimmed, and only a skeleton of the bombed cars remained, but everyone could see that something was wrong.
"Miss maid, your car shouldn't be parked here!"
Zhu Fu asked softly, the number of cars did not match their number, there should be one surviving car.
"As the master instructed, I parked the car at the back door of the annex..."
Before the maid could finish speaking, the crowd rushed over and saw where a car was parked in one piece.
"Great, this must have been the owner's car for himself, so maybe the drawbridge wasn't damaged."
"Now we just need to check the damage to the drawbridge, and if we're lucky, we might be able to get out of here soon."
Maori Kogoro touched his chin excitedly, as long as he left this ghost place and went to a place with a mobile phone signal, he could call the police and find someone to help.
"But here, there's no one else but a few of us!"
Looking at Mr. Maori with a simple face, Mochizuki couldn't help but pour cold water on Zhu Fu, she was sure that this car was definitely a trap.
Maybe there is a bomb strapped to it, and when the careless detective sits on it, the murderer can give him a brilliant firework.
"It's okay, since the murderer deliberately put the car here, there must be his arrangement, let's just wait and see what happens."
There is no one else in the annex, which can only mean that the murderer is among these people, so the death of Detective Dashang is somewhat intriguing.
There was nothing wrong with the food he ate at night, and no toxic residues were detected in the black tea he drank.
The problem can only lie with the big detective himself.
That is, the murderer applied the poison somewhere beforehand, and then took advantage of a special habit of the Great Detective to make him eat the poison himself, and it did not alarm the others.
Zhu Fu raised his head and looked at the maid on the side.
From the very beginning, the extremely emotional lady has been putting her left hand to her mouth and unconsciously gnawing the nail of her thumb.
He remembered that the great detective seemed to have similar habits, and could it be that this was the real reason for his death.
The argument ahead has come to an end, and Conan, relying on his identity as a child, proposes to use a coin toss to determine who will take the car to view the drawbridge.
In order to prevent the murderer from seeing his plan fail, he escaped from the annex among the people in the car.
After some competition, Mori Kogoro, Haruki Motegi, and the Senma Demo Lady, who can solve the case in an easy chair, stood out among several people, and they have already driven to the side of the suspension bridge.
