“Uh? Mustache”

“Hey, long time no see, brother Mogi.” Everyone turned around and saw Chikan Kyouyo waving at them from above.

The man called Brother Mogi nodded to her and introduced himself to everyone: “My name is Haruhi Mogi, I’m a detective, Mr. Sleepy Mustache, it’s an honor to meet you.”

Kaito’s face darkened slightly, but he still held out his hand, “Ah, I’m glad.”

Chapter 550: Famous Detectives Gathered Together 1

Chima Kyouyo and Mogi Harufumi seemed to know each other, and Mouri Kogoro, who was transformed by Kaito, was also pulled into the small circle of famous detectives by them. The three of them walked and chatted while holding umbrellas. No one mentioned the invitation letter. It seemed that they just came here for vacation without any prior arrangement.

Xiaolan and Conan also followed them curiously, silently acting as a foil. Shimizu Koji did not join any of the small circles. He stayed at the end of the team alone, silently looking up at the villa which looked about ten stories high when viewed closely.

He seemed to be shocked by such a magnificent and luxurious building, like a little boy who had never seen the world, but Uramaru Renye’s luxurious villas were actually built hundreds of years ago. No matter how luxurious they were, they could never compare with the luxurious palace in Tie’s manor, which was more exaggerated than Buckingham Palace.

As everyone stepped out of the stairs, climbed onto the last platform, and finally arrived at the real gate of the villa, Shimizu Koji couldn’t help but smile slightly.

interesting.

It was rare for him to have such thoughts, but the feeling that this luxurious villa brought to him, no, to be more precise, the feeling that some mysterious thing that existed in this luxurious villa brought to him, was simply two words, “interesting”.

From a distance, it seemed as if it was about to swallow up the dark clouds, and the resentment and death energy almost condensed into substance. But when it got closer, it disappeared little by little, hiding as if it had never existed.

But for Koji Shimizu, who had already discovered them, he was sure that the thing had hidden itself on its own initiative. Could it be because it sensed his presence?

Those huge and heavy resentments and deathly auras are indeed terrifying. If they can directly harm people, I am afraid that just a flap of their wings would be enough to turn a person into a madman and cause him to die of a mental breakdown.

However, to Koji Shimizu, who has mastered the power at the soul level, it looks more like a sumptuous dinner. The spiritual energy in it is definitely enough to make his Sharingan go further, or even more.

Then let him come and see the secrets hidden in this house.

Koji Shimizu has a hunch that the invitation, the detective, and the various accidents that may occur in the future will be the key to uncovering the true face of the mysterious object.

It has been a long time since his intuition has been so clear. Shimizu Koji adjusted his mentality and gathered his mind, while Mogi Haruki, who was walking in front, also formally rang the doorbell of the villa.

Everyone put away their umbrellas and shook off the rain. After a while, the knocking sound stopped and everyone heard footsteps approaching the door.

With a creaky sound, the heavy wooden door made a noise that was not befitting of its luxurious appearance, but no one paid attention to it as everyone’s attention was attracted by the maid who appeared at the door.

The maid was wearing a traditional black and white maid skirt. She looked quite young, probably only in her twenties. She had some freckles on her face and her appearance could only be described as average. She was far different from someone like Xiaolan. This was probably the second not-so-good-looking maid that Shimizu Koji had ever seen, besides Ohanajira Ori.

“Mr. Mogi, Mr. Mori, and Ms. Chiken, right? I have been waiting for you all for a long time. Please come in.”

The maid glanced from left to right at the three detectives at the door one by one, then made way and gestured for them to come in.

She seemed to ignore the people behind Kogoro Mouri, but when Koji Shimizu and Ran passed by her, the maid still nodded politely.

There was nothing eye-catching inside the villa, at least for Koji Shimizu, it even seemed simple. Although it also had a high-ceilinged hall and double-sided solid wooden stairs, there was no gap without contrast.

The three detectives walking in front also looked up and scanned the hall. “Sure enough, it’s like this in here too.” Kaito said with emotion.

“Maybe it’s a haunted house.” Chikan Kyoudai added with a smile.

Mogi Harufu smiled slightly and was about to speak when the maid behind them closed the door and came up again, “Excuse me, can you put your umbrellas here at the door?”

“Oh, okay, is there anyone else here?” Everyone agreed, and Koji Shimizu put down his umbrella and spoke to the maid.

“Hi, Smith, excuse me for leaving you for a moment.” The maid bowed slightly and then walked quickly into the hall.

After a while, everyone saw her walking out from a side passage with a middle-aged man wearing a white suit, who was as big as Inspector Megure but had a rather rough face.

“That person seems to be…” Mogi Haruki stared slightly.

“That gourmet detective.” Kaito said calmly.

“The Great Lord wishes you well.” Qianjian Jiangdai said.

“What?! You said the chef suddenly got seriously ill and couldn’t come to cook?! That’s not what we said at the beginning! I came all the way here just for this dinner.”

Dashang Zhushan seemed to have had an argument with the maid. Of course, it was a one-sided argument on his part, and everyone thought that he was the owner of the villa, but now they gave up the idea.

It must be said that these detectives are all quite rich.

Koji Shimizu suddenly thought of the cars at the door. Combining this with Okami Zhushan’s identity, it was not difficult to guess that most of the guests who arrived early in this house were also practitioners in the detective industry.

This doesn’t seem right, does it? Shimizu Koji glanced at the back of ‘Mouri Kogoro’.

How can I put it? It’s really hard to describe. Who is the famous detective in Japan? How did Maori Kogoro live such a miserable life in a society where detectives are comparable to superstars?

Oh, gambling, that’s okay.

“Um, I’m really sorry, but I’ve already bought all the ingredients.”

“Okay, you don’t have to say anything. Anyway, leave the kitchen to me. I will cook by myself.” Da Shang Zhu Shan didn’t intend to make things difficult for a maid. Although he was a little angry, he also saw the people gathered at the door.

However, he obviously had no intention of greeting everyone. He just took a look and turned to go upstairs.

The maid didn’t expect this to happen. She looked at Maori Kogoro and the others apologetically and walked over quickly. “I’m really sorry for ignoring you guys.”

But no one cared about this. Kaito, who played Maori Kogoro, interrupted the maid at the suggestion of Shimizu Koji, and said, “Um, maid, may I ask who is the owner of this place? And, you invited us here, so there must be something going on, right?”

“Um, Master. I’m sorry, I don’t know how to answer this question, but this time we have six detectives, including you guys.”

“Six people?!”

Obviously, such a generous sum was enough to surprise Xiaolan. After all, the commission fees of these detectives were not cheap. Even her father received a deposit of 200 million yen when he received the invitation letter.

“Hey, hey, that means, besides us, there are two more people coming?”

Mogi Haruki was obviously a little dissatisfied with this, because this was undoubtedly a provocation to their detective dignity.

“Hi, the other two are a lady and a boy.”

“Boy? Is that Brother Heiji?”

Chapter 551: Famous Detectives Gathered Together 2

Conan’s voice made everyone look at him, and the maid was obviously not unfamiliar with the name Heiji. Instead of asking in confusion, she just shook her head.

“No, although this name is indeed on the guest list that the host gave me, Mr. Hattori seems to have a midterm exam soon, so his mother called and declined the invitation.”

Conan was obviously a little surprised, but he seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and looked at Shimizu Koji, then his mouth twitched speechlessly and he became quiet again.

Koji Shimizu could probably guess that it was probably because the incident a while ago where Hattori Heiji and Kazuha almost died was finally exposed and he was placed under house arrest. Otherwise, Koji Shimizu believed that Hattori Heiji would definitely not want to miss such an interesting thing.

After the maid finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and suddenly poked her head out to look at Shimizu Koji and Xiaolan who were standing behind the detectives.

Finally, her eyes locked on Shimizu Koji, “Smith Marseille, are you Mr. Shimizu Koji?”

Chima Kōdai and Mogi Harushi, who were confused, turned their heads and looked at Shimizu Koji. There was surprise and confusion in their eyes. It was obvious that they knew nothing about Shimizu Koji.

“Well, it’s me.”

“I’m really sorry, you’re here on behalf of Mr. Kudo to attend the invitation, and I’m on the phone. Please forgive me for my impoliteness just now.”

“Ah, that doesn’t matter. Compared with these famous detectives, I’m indeed not that impressive.” Shimizu Koji smiled, showing unprecedented approachability and amiability.

This made the other three people, especially Kaito, except Chima Kyouyo and Mogi Harushi, feel a little confused.

This was not the first time he had seen Shimizu Koji smile like this. Last time at the auction, when he was carrying something out and was blocked by the door, Shimizu Koji patted him on the shoulder and he had the same smile on his face.

Hiss, he won’t be asked to do some strange hard labor again. Returning the stolen things before they are even warmed up, that kind of thing, no!

After the maid’s introduction, the other two detectives were still curious about Shimizu Koji, but they didn’t pay too much attention to him. If it was Kudo Shinichi himself, they would be happy to make friends with him, but he was just a junior that Kudo Shinichi valued, so they had no interest in him.

Mogi Haru looked around and said, “Where is your detective-loving master now? The master you just mentioned seemed a little vague -“

Mogi Haruki’s eyes were shining, as if he wanted to see through the maid completely, but to his disappointment, when the maid heard his question, she did not make excuses as she did before, but instead showed a strange expression.

“This, in fact, even I still don’t know. In fact, I haven’t even met him yet. So I didn’t answer Mr. Maori’s question just now. I’m sorry.”

“Didn’t you get the guest list?” Conan asked curiously.

“Hey, I did get it, but I got it when I finished the maid interview. And the interview process, now thinking about it, is also very strange.”

The maid lowered her head as she spoke, probably feeling a little regretful in her heart. But judging from the fact that she did not give up this job, the salary must be quite generous~.

“My name is Ishihara Aki. Because the job pays well, many people signed up for the interview. However, the actual interview was only conducted on a computer in this house. From beginning to end, I never met the owner of the villa.”

“Wait, if you say that, then you were the one who took over for Kudo and communicated with Hattori?”

Ishihara Aki glanced at Maori Kogoro, shook her head, and continued, “In fact, the owner communicated these details to me through mobile phone and email, including the fact that Mr. Maori Kogoro wanted to bring two family members with him.”

“Then the voice from that cell phone must have been disguised, like an electric current, right, Ms. Ishihara?”

Shimizu Koji smiled and said softly. Ishihara Aki was stunned for a moment, then nodded, “Indeed.”

“It seems that he is a coward who hides his head and shows his tail, just like this villa, he wants to hide in a corner where no one can find him.”

Koji Shimizu’s comments were very sharp. If the owner of the villa heard them, he would probably fly into a rage and kick him out on the spot.

For this reason, Mogi Haruki and Chima Kyouyo also took a serious look at the young man Shimizu Koji for the first time. Although they could guess that the voice on the phone would change, the young man Shimizu Koji reacted a few seconds faster than them, which was worthy of attention.

“It’s really interesting. I think I’m already eager to try it.” Chima Kyouyo glanced at Mori Kogoro and Mogi Haruki standing beside him.

Kaito certainly wouldn’t respond to her, but Mogi Harushi straightened his back and said confidently with a look of arrogance, “Actually, when I saw that weird handle on the door, I was so excited~~.”

handle?

Everyone paused when they heard this, and Xiaolan, who was at the back, turned around and looked at the handle on the door. Unlike the door knocker outside, the handle inside was just a normal golden cylindrical handle, which was very common in European-style villa buildings.

The weird thing was also clearly visible: there was something like a water stain, like a water arrow, splashed near the door handle.

“What is this? How did it get there?” Xiaolan was a little curious, because when she looked closer, she saw that it was definitely not a water stain that had not dried up.

“Be careful miss, I think there might be some bloodstains of history.” Harufumi Mogi said lightly.

“Eh?!” Xiaolan’s face suddenly changed and she covered her mouth, but she still didn’t quite believe it, because Mogi Haruki’s tone sounded more like he was teasing her.

“No, Mr. Mogi, you must be kidding me, right?!”

“No, he’s telling the truth~.” The one who answered Xiaolan was not Mogi Haruki, but a voice coming from the stairs.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman in a white coat and protective gloves holding a bottle of spray and doing some kind of test on the handrail of the stairs.

“If nothing unexpected happened, this bloodstain should have been splashed onto the handrail at a 45-degree angle. In addition, in addition to the bloodstain on the door, there are bloodstains on the wall and dripping bloodstains on the floor. Although they were all wiped by someone at the time, almost every place in this annex has traces of blood. The blood here is definitely not just from one or two people.”

The woman turned around and seemed to be looking at everyone. However, before both sides could greet each other, a discordant voice sounded from upstairs.

“What a brilliant analysis~, luminol, I didn’t expect you to bring something like this here, former prosecutor, Ms. Gunda Ikumi.”

Ikumi Qiangda was a little confused for a moment, but when she turned around and looked at the boy in the blue suit slowly walking down the stairs, her expression relaxed.

“It’s my honor to have you praise me like this, Master~.” Her eyes were slightly teasing, and it was obvious that the word “Master” was not as sincere as it seemed.

Chapter 552 The Jealous Boy’s Conspiracy

“My name is Bai Ma Tan, thank you for your guidance.” Bai Ma Tan walked down the stairs slowly and introduced himself to everyone.

His appearance was nothing short of eye-catching, with his blond hair, which was rare in Japan, and his handsome face. The word “gentleman” was almost written in capital letters on him.

However, the people present were not young girls. They were just a little surprised at how Ikumi Gunda addressed him and were curious about his identity. Apart from that, the only beautiful girl, Xiaolan, needless to say, although the handsome guy was very pretty, she only had Kudo Shinichi in her heart.

The eyes of Kaito’s incarnation, Kogoro Mouri, flickered, and surprise flashed across his eyes, but more often than not, he pouted and was unhappy. He hated guys who were more pretentious (and attention-seeking) than him, especially the bastard Hakuba Tsutomu.

Originally this guy was studying in the UK, but for some reason he got the nerve to run back to Japan when he heard his name, and luckily enough he transferred to his class. Every day he was surrounded by a group of younger brothers who spoke ill of Kaito Kid and said that they would easily catch him. But in the end he always ended up being the one to embezzle him.

He complained a lot in his heart, but on the surface, he still pretended to be surprised, “Bai, Bai Ma?! So, you are the one of Bai Ma’s police chief——?!”

Hakuba Detective smiled slightly and nodded in acknowledgement, “Yes, you are right, the Hakuba Police Chief is indeed my father, Mr. Maori.”

The identity of the son of the Chief of Police is indeed somewhat unusual, especially since those present are all famous detectives in Japan, this identity deserves more attention.

The expressions of Mogi Harufumi and Okami Zhushan changed slightly. The two of them, who had originally been a little indifferent to this young brat, now silently adjusted their mentality.

Although they are detectives and collaborators of the police, and the relationship between the two sides is equal, it also depends on who the person is. There is no doubt that it is better to have a good relationship with the son of a police chief than to have an enemy.

As soon as Bai Ma Tan appeared on the scene, he immediately became the focus of attention, both in terms of his appearance and identity. He seemed to have gotten used to such situations. Under the gaze of everyone, he suddenly put his fingers to his mouth and whistled.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of flapping wings came from upstairs, and an eagle about the size of a human head flew down and landed steadily on Bai Matan’s shoulder.

Pretending to be cool, the same word emerged in the minds of everyone present, even Shimizu Koji was no exception.

Kaito couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth. If it weren’t for the fact that Kogoro Mori’s identity was still useful, he really wanted to bury this pretentious guy with a pigeon and make him lose face.

“Wow——Is this, an eagle?!”
