Chapter 48

Drop Valley Zero drove to the villa.

Because the distance was a bit far, they found a convenience store to buy something to eat on the way, and drove until about eight o'clock in the evening to the foot of the mountain where the villa was located.

In the summer, there were many showers, and it suddenly rained on the second half of the road, which fell on the windshield and was pushed away by the windshield wipers. The rain took away the heat of summer, and the car window opened a little slit, and the natural cool breeze with moisture blew inside.

Although he was driving, he was also distracted by the teacher's situation.

There was really nothing to eat at the convenience store, so the latter ate a palm-sized piece of meat floss seaweed cream cake, and said that he hoped that the invitation to them for a drink would be honored.

If you can take pictures of such a wealthy merchant in the mountain annex, the chef you invite may be able to look forward to it.

"Strange."

Kawashima Esaki didn't expect the distance to be so far.

On a remote road, and on a rainy night, they could only see a small area illuminated by the headlights, and there was nothing on either side of the road except the lush trees shrouded in darkness. ”

"I probably think the scenery is good, so it's suitable for a vacation." ”

Is the view good?

As a former wealthy man, Kawashima Ezaki couldn't quite understand why the president of the Karasuma Group, who was more powerful than the Suzuki Foundation, chose to live in the mountains half a century ago.

Even he can't look down on such an ordinary place.

The white Mazda is parked in front of a huge and luxurious mountain villa.

There were already a lot of guests arriving, and the parking lot at the entrance was full of imported cars, including Bentleys and Ferraris, as well as Porsche and Alfa Romeo, as well as a regular car that appeared to have been rented from a car rental company.

The system muttered quietly.

"The car of this rental car company must be driven by Kogoro Maori."

"Who would have thought that this middle-aged social animal, whose daughter is seventeen years old, can't even afford a trolley, and has to rent it when she goes out."

Dislike JPG

There are no umbrellas in the car.

Falling Valley took off his coat and prepared to raise it above his head to take the teacher in.

Suddenly, a short-haired girl with shoulder-length hair wearing a white apron walked out of the annex, she held an umbrella and another in her hand, and took the two into the house.

Drop Valley Zero opened the umbrella and held it with the teacher.

The short-haired maid asked, "Are you Mr. Amuro and his friend?" The guests have arrived, just waiting for the two. ”

"Looks like we're late." Kawashima said.

The maid shook her head repeatedly, "The master didn't agree on a specific time with you, so there is no such thing as being late." ”

Shibuyani asks who else is there besides them and Detective Mori Kogoro.

The maid subconsciously gnawed her thumb nail and replied.

"There are also Ms. Chima, who is said to be able to solve cases by sitting in an easy chair and listening, Mr. Tsuyozen Okami, a food detective, Mr. Haruki Motegi, Ms. Ikumi Yarita, and Mr. Hakuba."

Kawashima Esaki didn't know any of them.

Raising his eyes, he looked at the blonde black-skinned student holding an umbrella.

Falling Valley Zero leaned his head slightly, and answered the teacher in a voice that the maid couldn't hear, "These are all famous detectives." ”

Kawashima Esaki: "...... So he invited eight detectives to dinner? ”

It's hard to think about.

Valley-Zero: "At the moment, it seems that this is the case, yes, I think I want to do something with the help of the detective's ability." ”

The two whispered and came to the eaves of the annex.

This expensive European-style building has a tall wooden door, looking at the traces on the door, the construction time has not been short, and no one has probably repaired it well, and the wear and tear is obvious.

The maid pushed the door open and invited the two to enter.

Shortly before they arrived, the other detectives in the Dusk Pavilion had discovered that there were blood stains left everywhere, and spraying luminol reagent on the staircase handrails, floors, and wooden doors would cause a occult blood reaction, appearing in the shape of a splash of blue-green fluorescence.

A person's blood volume is limited, and the ubiquitous occult blood reaction proves that there has been more than one homicide here.

In other words, in this expensive twilight annex, there was a tragic massacre.

It is in the nature of a detective to pursue the truth.

Detectives, whether unknown or famous, are not immune.

When Shibuyani Zero and Kawashima Esaki entered, most of the people were scattered inside the villa to check, because the hall was the place with the most blood stains, so the three members of the Senma Lady, Haruki Motegi and Mori Kogoro were still in the hall.

"Squeak-"

A storm broke into the hall with an open wooden door.

Everyone's eyes were drawn together.

A blinding bolt of lightning broke through the sky at this moment, and then a rumbling thunder rang out, deafening, and even the windows trembled under the loud bang.

By the lights in the hall, and the flashes of electricity.

Conan, who was checking the dark blood stains on the floor behind the couch, saw the two men at the door, and his pupils shrank sharply.

They were all dressed in black and black pants, and their trouser legs were stained with a little crystal rain.

One of them appears to be of mixed race, with blonde hair and rare gray-blue eyes, hair on the eyebrows, no highlight pupils, and a strong sense of discomfort from the thick shadows on his face.

The other was two or three centimeters shorter, wearing a woolen hat and a mask, and his gloomy black eyes swept through the few people present one by one, not caring at all whether his behavior would offend others.

Hey, hey, hey—

Really?!

These two people must be members of the Black Order!

On the surface, the seven-year-old Conan Edogawa is actually seventeen-year-old Kudo Shinichi, who is unbelievable.

"Mori Kogoro?"

Seeing his face, Kawashima Ezaki remembered that he had nothing to do a few months ago, and at the invitation of Officer Twilight, he attended the farewell party of Mori Kogoro and gave him a fountain pen.

Not.

I also met a stinky kid named Shinichi Kudo.

Mori Kogoro heard him call his name, grabbed the back of his head and opened his mouth to laugh, "So my fame has become like this?" It seems that next time I will have to prepare a little golden business card to match my identity. ”

He walked over to shake Kawashima's hand.

Kawashima Esaki: "? ”

The young man raised his arm, but ignored the middle-aged man's hand hanging in the air, and instead took off his mask and put it in his coat pocket, his clear and prissive face completely exposed to Mori Kogoro's eyes.

"When we met for the first time, I admired the name for a long time."

He stared at the expression on the other man's face.

Mori Kogoro was not a little surprised when he said to him, "First meeting", and held his embarrassing right hand with his left hand, "Hahahahahahahahahaha ”

Kawashima Esaki instantly realized.

It seems that this person is not Mori Kogoro.

His senses are very acute.

Eyes averted from the man's face and landed on the little boy with a shocked expression on the back of the sofa chair.

When Kawashima Ezaki took off his mask, he was shocked not by Mori Kogoro, who had several relationships with him, but by the gaze from a short place behind Mori Kogoro.

The moment when I met the eyes of the black-haired and cold-skinned young man.

Conan's heart was beating fast, blood was digging into his head, and there was a low buzzing in his ears, and without thinking about it, he turned and ran down the hallway on the side of the hall.

"Conan, where are you going?"

Xiaolan's shouts came from behind her.

Edogawa Conan didn't reply, "Sister Xiaolan, I can't hold it back, I want to go to the bathroom!" ”

"Do you know where the bathroom is?"

Conan shouted: "Know!!" ”

Behind him, a young man asked what his name was.

Xiaolan, who didn't know anything, told him softly, "Conan, that child's name is Edogawa Conan." ”

Kudo Shinichi thought that his memory could not go wrong.

Xiaolan may not remember, in fact, they saw this person when they were children, just seven years ago!

Kudo Shinichi didn't have time to wonder why Uncle Maori didn't recognize him.

There is only one reason, Uncle Maori is pretending to be Kidd!

If it had been the other day, Kudo Shinichi might have battled with Kidd and then found a way to catch the thief and take him to the police station.

But now he can't control Kidd, he has more important things to think about-

If the person outside is indeed Kawashima Ezaki, then why does he look exactly the same as he did seven years ago?

Did he eat aptx4869 too?

The efficacy of drug A is still unstable, so most people will definitely die if they eat it, and a small number of people will become smaller after taking it like themselves and Gray Yuanwai. Is there a possibility that some people will not get old after eating it?!

No, the idea is too optimistic.

There is also a possibility that Kawashima Ezaki was originally a member of the Black Clothes Organization.

Or maybe the people in the black-clothed organization deliberately disguised themselves like this, in order to get close to themselves and find flaws, the blonde man next to him was his accomplice?!

There are too many questions that can't be sorted out.

Danger is looming.

Xiaolan and Uncle Maori may have been involved a long time ago! And he stupidly thought he was hiding it well!

The seven-year-old boy sat on the toilet lid with a frightened expression, his eyes showing a look of fear that did not belong to him at this age.

-

The second when Kawashima Esaki's crow-colored pupils met Conan's eyes.

The boy naturally looked away, then made a look of wanting to go to the toilet, and ran into the corridor with a look of impatience.

Even though it was just a glance, and even though he was wearing wide glasses that covered most of his face, Kawashima Esaki instantly recognized that stinky face, exactly the same as it was seven years ago.

Pretending to be naïve is already very skillful.

Shinichi Kudo

Actually giving himself the pseudonym "Edogawa Conan" is a tribute to Edogawa Ranbu, the ancestor of Japanese reasoning, and Conan Doyle, who wrote Sherlock Holmes?

Tsukitani Zero said that the Black Clothes Organization was developing a mysterious drug, and Kawashima Ezaki didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that it may be true, and there is indeed some kind of drug in this world that makes people go back to their childhood.

Looking at Conan's appearance, eighty percent was frightened.

I don't know if I think they are members of the black-clothed organization, or if I am afraid that my identities as workers, vines, new ones, and one will be exposed.

Kawashima Esaki thinks that today's scene is really exciting.

The boredom and dissatisfaction of the long journey are swept away.

Whether it is "Sleeping Kogoro" disguised by unknown characters, or Shinichi Kudo, who has turned back into a child, he is very interested in all of them, and he wants to uncover the secrets and appreciate them.

Zero found that Kawashima was suddenly in a high mood, and asked the female high school student about the child.

"Is there anything wrong with him?"

"Nope."

Kawashima Esaki said to him meaningfully, "But it's funny to see people scared, right?" ”：，，
