Chapter 288 The Karasuma Family . . . . . .
There was nothing she could do. For some reason, Tokatsu Junya suddenly disappeared. She had nothing to do now and could only do some chores like catching cats and dogs.
These two million are enough to solve his urgent needs!
Listening to her words, everyone couldn't help but smile.
"hehe,"
Qianjian Jiangdai smiled charitably.
"Detective Yueshui has just started his career, so it's understandable that he wants money."
As someone who has just entered the detective industry, Nanatsuki Koshimizu is indeed short of money now.
However, in this world, detective is indeed a relatively promising career.
This can be seen from the luxury cars that were parked outside the door of the Huanghun Villa.
Even though Kogoro Mori looks rather shabby and needs to rent a car to come here, his family owns a three-story house in Tokyo, so he basically does not have to worry about money.
"The phantom of a child abandoned by God. The phantom has a hidden beginning and a hidden end, and it feels elusive."
Mogi Harufumi spoke up and brought the topic back to the topic.
“And what God forsakes, according to the Bible, is the goats.”
Shiraba Matsu followed up on what Mogi Harushi said,
"A kid, or a young goat."
Little goat?
After hearing this word, Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro were still confused.
"In English, goat is called goat, and kid is called another name,"
Bai Ba Tanya explained with a smile,
"That is - kid."
kid......
Kidd!
"Yes, the host who invited the eight of us detectives here is Kaito Kidd."
Harufu Mogi looked at the mannequin equipped with a loudspeaker and sneered.
"But why did this Kaito Kidd ask us to come here this time?"
Kogoro Maori said in confusion.
"Humph! What else could it be for?!"
Dashang Zhushan stroked his mustache.
"According to what the loudspeaker just said, that guy probably wants to invite the eight of us detectives to come over and compete with him in wisdom."
"He even used the treasures he stole over the years as a bet."
"That's right,"
Ikumi Gunda also agreed, and smiled playfully.
"Besides, I think that guy is watching us from somewhere inside this annex."
"Otherwise, wouldn't all those cameras here be wasted?"
"Camera?!"
Both Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro were shocked.
Just as everyone was talking, the maid Aki Ishihara walked in pushing a food cart.
"Everyone, I'm going to serve you the food now."
"Looks like we're now going to start what that guy called the last supper."
The White Horse chuckled.
"For everyone's safety, although we have randomly taken seats, please wipe the tableware and other items."
Bai Masong also gave a reminder.
"Of course."
Haruki Mogi shrugged, indicating that he knew it without you telling him.
Afterwards, everyone took out their own tissues and handkerchiefs and simply wiped the tableware, and then dinner began.
At least everyone was relieved about dinner.
This dinner was prepared by Dashang Zhushan himself. Unless he was the one who invited everyone this time and his purpose from the beginning was to kill everyone, there was no need to tamper with the dinner.
Soon, everyone who had been hungry all day finally had their dinner.
"Ha ha ha ha,"
Maori Kogoro laughed with satisfaction.
"The reputation of the Gourmet Detective is well-deserved. His cooking skills are really amazing!"
"No, no,"
Although Okami Zhushan was modest in words, he was very touched by what Maori Kogoro said.
"In order to satisfy my tongue, which is not easy to please, I have to work harder in this area."
"Haha, it seems we are still worrying too much."
Mogi Harufumi said with a smile.
"Not necessarily. It's hard to say right now."
Bai Masong did tilt his head and look at the dummy sitting on the main seat.
Sure enough, five or six minutes after everyone had eaten, the dummy spoke again.
"Well, everyone should be full now."
"Are you all satisfied with the last dinner we prepared for you?"
"Yo, the protagonist is about to start talking again."
Mogi Harushi once again spoke teasingly.
The dummy must not have heard him, so he continued,
"Okay, now let's get to the point."
"You must be very curious about why I chose to use this villa, which I spent a huge amount of money to obtain, as the stage for this game."
"First of all, please take a look at the knives, forks, spoons and other tableware in your hands..."
When everyone heard this, they picked up the tableware next to them and looked at it carefully.
Bai Masong did not move. He had already seen these things when he sat down.
It was nothing more than some crow-shaped patterns. Combined with the background he had investigated before, he guessed that it should be something like a family crest.
"This...is it a crow?"
Mogi Harushi looked at the bottom of the plate and frowned.
"Could this be..."
Qianjian Jiangdai is the oldest and naturally has a wide range of knowledge. She looked at the pattern in front of her and thought of something.
"I'm sure the eight detectives present here have understood this,"
The dummy spoke again.
"This is the family crest of the Karasuma family of Karasuma Renya, a wealthy man who died mysteriously about half a century ago!"
Maori Kogoro exclaimed,
"Karasuma Ren!"
I could only hear the dummy continue to speak.
"In addition to the tableware here, every door, every floor, handrail, staircase in this annex, as well as the chess pieces in the chess and card room and even the patterns on the playing cards, were all specially made by him according to the Karasuma family's logo."
"So, this villa is actually the former villa of the Karasuma family!"
The dummy said so.
From his words, everyone could deeply feel the wealth and power of the Karasuma family in the past.
The dummy continued,
"However, these are actually all in the past. Forty years ago, a shocking tragedy occurred here!"
"You, such excellent detectives, have already discovered something after entering this annex, right? This annex is stained with a lot of blood in various forms..."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but think of what Mogi Haruki and Qiangda Ikumi said in the hall.
It seems that it is true.
"Yes, these bloodstains are actually the evidence of the tragedy that occurred in this charming villa forty years ago!"
The dummy continued to speak with its electronic synthesized voice,
