Chapter 848: Doubts on the Black Note

January 2, Tuesday, evening, Maori's house, living room.

Lan called Yuanzi and Mei Daizi respectively and asked them to accompany her to the Twilight Pavilion, and they both agreed, but Mei Daizi said that she would not go there until she finished the first half of the work at Meidai Restaurant at night. ...

Wednesday, January 3, morning, Maori Detective Agency.

When Sonoko came over, Maori took her, Lan, and Conan to the car rental agency in Mihua Plaza to rent a seven-seater SUV, and headed to the Twilight Pavilion in Nagano County.

More than half an hour later, on the Central Ring Road of the Capital Expressway.

Mao Li opened the locker and took out a map and threw it to Lan, asking her to guide the way. After Lan and Yuanzi checked, they were surprised to find that Xiaogu Village, where the Twilight Pavilion is located, was hundreds of kilometers away. .

Yuanzi shouted, "I only have one question now, how long are we going to stay in the car? Lan!"

"Well, Yuanzi, don't be angry, I just found out." Lan Pei smiled, and then called to Mao Li, "Dad, how long are we going to stay in the car?"

"Stop rambling, hurry up." Maori shouted, "Hurry up and see where you want to get off the highway. If you go the wrong way, you will be in trouble."

Conan raised his triangular eyes and said that he would go sightseeing nearby when he arrived. It seems that whether he can arrive on time is a problem. ...

Afterwards, Maori's car got on the Central Expressway and had a late lunch at the Suwa Lake Highway Service Area in the afternoon. After a break, I took the Nagano Expressway from the Okaya Intersection and turned onto the Nagano Prefectural Road at the Azumino Intersection, and then took the National Route 147 to the Otani Road Station in Otani Village. I wanted to take a break and ask for directions. , but found that there was no light inside, and then looked at the above saying that Water Day is a regular holiday, and it is today.

Looking at the snow outside, Yuanzi shouted: "Damn it, I would have been with Mei Daizi if I knew it earlier."

Lan said, "Father, think of a way."

"I'm not thinking about it." Maori said, "By the way, let's go to the village office."

Conan said helplessly: "Uncle, there is no New Year's holiday yet." Then he said, "Uncle, let's just follow the railway line and take a rest at the railway station."

"That's fine," Molly said.

Not long after, Maori's car arrived at Beixiaogu Station. It turned out that there was no one at the station. However, he ran into a village bus and followed all the way to the terminal. Finally, he found a place that could solve the gasoline problem. Then he took a rest and asked about the road. Amid Sonoko's complaints, he set off again through the wind and snow. ...

In the snow, on the mountain road.

Because of the snow on the mountain road and the coming of night, the Maori car drove very slowly, Yuanzi couldn't help asking: "It's past six o'clock in the evening, when can we arrive?"

Lan said: "Didn't they say it? Anyway, just walk along the mountain road."

"What a terrible trip," Yuanzi asked, "I don't know who it is, how could it live in such a ghostly place?" Then scared Lan, "Tell me, could it be some kind of vampire?"

"No, won't it?" Lan shuddered.

"Idiot, if there is one, it's a mountain monster or something." Maori suddenly noticed an old woman appearing in front of her with an umbrella, stepped on the brakes quickly, then rolled down the glass, stretched out her head and shouted, "What's the matter with you?" , why are you standing in the middle of the road?"

"I'm really sorry, I'm afraid you won't see me." The old woman asked, "My car's engine is off, and you're going to the Twilight Pavilion too, so can you give me a ride?"

"The Twilight Pavilion?" Maori confirmed.

"The Twilight Pavilion," said the old woman.

"Okay then." Maori said, "Please get in the car."

"Thank you," the old woman asked, "By the way, can you help me bring the luggage in my car?"

"Of course." Mao Li went to carry the luggage and wanted to smoke a cigarette when he came back.

Only to find that the ashtray had been taken away by the old woman.

"Sorry, just bear with me, Mr. Maori," said the old woman.

"You know me?" Maori asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

The old woman smiled and said: "My name is Qianjian Jiangdai, I am just an old lady from the countryside, and I usually give you some advice when I have nothing to do."

Sonoko said, "Ah, you are the detective who can solve the case by just listening to other people tell the case while sitting in an easy chair."

Qianjian Jiangdai smiled and said, "What kind of incident is it? It's just a trivial household matter. It can't compare with Maori detectives who can often help the police solve criminal incidents."

"It's a coincidence, it's just a coincidence." Mao Li laughed.

Conan asked: "Hey, old lady, did you also receive the invitation?"

Qianjian said: "Yes, the black letter is really a bad organizer."

Lan asked: "Then do you know how far the Twilight Pavilion is from here?"

Qianjian Jiangdai looked at Lan, "Ha, little girl, I think you should find a place to solve your physical problems."

"Ah!" Lan blushed immediately.

"Really?" Sonoko laughed, and then asked Qianjian Jiangdai, "How do you know that?"

"Sweat." Qian Jian said with a smile, "The air conditioner here is not very high, but this lady is sweating, so there must be something urgent, and there is nothing urgent about external affairs at this time, so It’s something inside her body. She’s in good spirits, so it’s not like she’s sick. If it’s that one, it’s more than just sweating. If it’s big, she’ll have a stomachache, so I just want to urinate.”

"It's amazing, it's really amazing." Yuanzi smiled, "Lan, don't bear it, it's not good for your health."

"Don't worry about it." Lan said with a blushing face.

Conan, who was blushing when he heard it, suddenly realized that as the car turned a corner, a large villa on the mountain appeared in view, and immediately called everyone to watch it together.

"Great." Lan smiled.

"Okay, I'll try to be as fast as possible," Maori said.

Nearly ten minutes later, the car arrived at a fork in the road. Maori looked at the road signs. One road led to the Twilight Pavilion and the other led to the Digu Mine, so he chose the road to the Twilight Pavilion.

After another ten minutes, the car arrived at the Twilight Pavilion, a parking lot outside a mansion covering an area of ​​several hectares. Lan didn't wait for the car to come to a complete stop, jumped out of the car without taking her umbrella, rushed into the wind and snow amid the laughter of the garden, and hurriedly knocked on the door of the Twilight Pavilion. After waiting for a while, a group of more than twenty The 20-year-old maid came to answer the door, and Lan Wenming ran in immediately where the bathroom was.

Conan got out of the car and found a row of cars next to him, including Mercedes Benz, Ferrari, Bossier, and an Alfa Romeo. There was also a man in his thirties wearing a cowboy hat in the car.

"Grandma Qianjian, why are you here too?" The man got out of the car and asked, "Is this mustache the unlucky star Mori Kogoro?"

Mustache, mold star? The veins on Maori's head came out.

"Mogi, what are you doing in the car? Are you observing?" Sengen said with a smile, "I heard that you were hunted down by the Chicago Mafia. It seems to be true."

Chicago, Conan thought, could it be the detective Haruka Motegi that Dad mentioned?

"Is there?" Motegi Haruki shrugged, "I have long forgotten that kind of old thing."

Qian Jian asked: "Have you got out of the car now to observe? Did you find anything?"

"Not at all, it's just that everyone is here. If I don't go in, I won't be able to have dinner." Motegi Haruki said, "I didn't eat at noon, and now my stomach is growling with hunger."

At this time, the maid came over and said, "Welcome everyone. This is Aki Ishihara. Excuse me. Is it Ms. Detective Sengen Kogoro, Mr. Detective Mori Kogoro? Please come with me." Then she asked Motegi Haruki, "Would you like to come in now, sir?"

"Of course I'm going." Motegi Haruki asked, "Is dinner ready?"

Ishihara Aki said: "Mr. Ogami thinks that Zixia's cooking skills are not good, and now he cooks himself."

"Mr. Ogami?" Maori asked, "Is this the owner?"

Ishihara Aki said: "No, he is also today's guest, Mr. Detective Ohami Zhushan."

"Oh, it's the gourmet detective," Molly said.

At this time, everyone entered the lobby of the Twilight Pavilion, and Lan also came over.

Yuanzi asked: "What the hell is this? Four detectives are here. Is there a big party for detectives?"

"Six," said Haruki Motegi, "and a lady, a young man."

"Young detective," Ran asked immediately, "is that Kudo Shinichi?"

"It can't be, it must be Brother Hattori." Conan said immediately.

Ishihara Aki said: "It's not true, it's..."

At this time, an eagle croaked, and a golden eagle circled in the empty hall, and landed on the gloved arm of a 17-year-old blond young man on the second floor.

"That young man is me, just to get rid of those boring parties." The young man smiled as he walked over, "I just didn't expect to see Miss Yuanzi here."

"So it's you." Yuanzi said, then looked at the golden eagle and laughed.

"Is there a problem?" The young man asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing." Yuanzi smiled, and at the same time thought, when Mei Daizi comes over later, will this be made into a supper?

The young man stood still, waving his hands on his chest and saluting, "I'm on the white horse, and I've admired the names of all the seniors for a long time. Watson was rude just now."

"White Horse Detective!" Mori, Conan, Motegi Haruki, and Chiken Kodai were all taken aback.

"Yuanzi, who is he?" Lan asked.

"The son of the Hakuba Police Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department." A beautiful woman in her thirties came over in a white coat.

"Ikumi Gunta?" Mori asked, "Are you that famous murder scene investigator?"

"It's me." Guntian Yumei looked around, "If such a famous place is not open to the outside world, I would have wanted to come and see it a long time ago."

"Famous place?" Maori asked.

"Don't you do your homework, great detective?" Motegi Haruki asked, "See those irregular patterns on the wall?"

Lan said: "Speaking of which, the patterns on the wall look so strange."

Yuanzi said, "I don't know who did the scribbles, it's not aesthetically pleasing at all."

Guntian Ikumi said: "In my opinion, these patterns written with life can be called the crystallization of art." He took out a sprayer from the pocket of his white coat and sprayed it on a pattern on a wall. The blue-purple fluorescent pattern clearly emerged.

Maori was taken aback, "Could it be the luminol reagent! Are all these patterns..."

"Human blood." Qianjian Jiangdai said.

"Ah!" Lan and Yuanzi screamed together, causing Watson to fly away in shock.

Motegi Haruki said: "It is said that there was a massacre here, and it seems to be true."

"Not one massacre, but two." Baima Tan said.

"Two games?" Qianjian Jiangdai asked.

Guntian Yumi said: "The first scene is naturally the mysterious incident that has not yet been resolved. The second scene is that the owner of this family is killing people here in order to kill people."

"Murder to silence?" Motegi Haruki laughed, "It seems that's why we came here."

Qianjian Jiangdai asked Ishihara Aki: "So, where is the current owner here?"

Ishihara Aki said: "I don't know about this, because I haven't seen him either."

Motegi Haruki frowned and asked, "Then how do you know us?"

"It's all through the Internet, and I don't know how my husband found me." Aki Ishihara said.

"Sir?" Baima inquired, "Is the owner here a male?"

"I don't know about that, Mr. asked me to call him that." Aki Ishihara said, "Mr. pays a high salary, so although I was a little scared, I still came."

Gun Tian Yumei said: "This guy sent me the money directly, and you must be the same."

Maori said: "That's right, there are two million yen left in the letter to me."

Qian Jian said with a smile: "This number should be the same for everyone."

Conan praised: "Sister, did you clean this house by yourself? You are really amazing."

Ishihara Aki said: "No, it was already like this when I came here, and my husband told me not to touch any of the decorations here, as long as the sanitation is done roughly."

Motegi Haruki said: "So it's just for those of us."

Qian Jian asked: "By the way, your husband asked you to prepare the dinner materials, right?"

Baima asked, "Yes, how many servings?"

Aki Ishihara said: "There are only six main courses, but the transportation here is inconvenient. I bought a lot of things, enough to entertain Mr. Mori's family."

Gun Tian Yumei said: "That's good."

Motegi Haruki said: "This guy doesn't seem to know everything."

Qian Jian asked with a smile: "Why, did you receive the letter by surprise?"

Motegi Haruki said: "Yes, I received this letter just after my office reopened."

Qianjian Jiangdai smiled and said: "So that's the case. I'm afraid you didn't want to come, but you thought you were being watched, so you ran here without worrying."

Motegi Haruki smiled and said, "Yes, it seems to be a coincidence now."

Mao Li said: "It's not good to take money and do nothing."

"Ha, I didn't promise anything, it would be nice if there was such a business every day." Motegi Haruki laughed.

At this time, the sound of the helicopter piercing through the wind and snow came over. ...
