Corpse collector in Conan

Kid looked at Toru Amuro who took the initiative to get out of the car and was slightly surprised.

Is the scumbag boss also interested in this banquet where detectives gather?

still……

Kidd recalled Toru Amuro's seemingly natural but abnormal chatting behavior on the road before, and secretly glanced at the naturally curly young man next to him.

The young man in black seemed to be quite sensitive to sight. He quickly stopped observing the Dusk Villa and turned his head to look at him.

"Jiang Xia" and Jiang Xia looked at each other for a moment.

Kidd tried to observe something from Jiang Xia's eyes. However, in the dimly lit night, through the pair of light-colored sunglasses, he could not see the other person's eyes clearly.

Speaking of which, Kidd suddenly thought, why does Kurosawa wear sunglasses at night?

... Judging from the previous situation, this person's vision should be fine, and he doesn't look like a blind person who needs to use sunglasses to cover his abnormal eyes... In this case, is it probably because of interest?

Gee, why are all the people I met today so weird?

…

A group of four people took their luggage and walked towards the gate of Dusk Villa.

When passing by the vehicle next to them, several people subconsciously turned their heads and looked over.

The famous detectives in this world earn a lot of money, and all the luxury cars parked here are quite eye-catching: Ferrari, Mercedes, Porsche...

"There's even an Alfa Romeo." Kidd took a second look at this rare sports car and praised reservedly, "It looks really good."

"Of course." A voice came from the praised sports car.

——There was someone in the car.

Soon, a tall detective with a tough chin and a bit of a western cowboy style stepped out of the car.

The cowboy detective slammed the car door, held a cigarette in his mouth, and raised his chin proudly: "It took me five years to get this shrewd woman."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand lovingly and touched his car.

Jiang Xia: "..."

He silently moved a little further away.

The fake Jiang Xia looked at the shiny front hood of the car with a hint of envy, and wanted to reach out and touch it.

However, it is normal for high school students to be interested in sports cars, but if the interest is too much, it will deviate too much from the character... Kidd thought of Jiang Xia's common plain appearance, and in the end he could only take a normal look at the car, saying nothing. Do.

Qianjian's mother-in-law is not very interested in cars.

She seemed to be familiar with the cowboy detective. She looked up at him and greeted him: "It's Brother Motegi. I heard that you were sniped by the Mafia in Chicago last week. Are you okay?"

Motegi Harushi exhaled a puff of smoke and shrugged his shoulders casually: "I don't remember what happened so long ago."

"..." Jiang Xia glanced at the tall tough guy detective and the smoke surrounding him, and suddenly found that saying this kind of line with the cloudy sky and smoke was unexpectedly quite powerful... It's a pity that although his Matsuda vest has reached the age of tobacco and alcohol I’m not a taboo at this age, but the iconic character of Ghost Mint is too strong to be smoked casually...

In the end, Jiang Xia could only regretfully touch the pocket containing the ghost mint and did nothing.

Behind him, Toru Amuro stared at "Kurosawa Zuo"'s hand. Anyway, he was idle, and he began to collect information about "Kurosawa Zuo" casually: He seemed to be taking out a cigarette, but stopped midway? Why?

...By the way, judging from the attitude of Granny Senjian, Matsuda, ahem, and Kurosawa are very much like Granny Senjian’s juniors. It is not uncommon for juniors to maintain the image of not smoking or drinking in front of their elders.

He was having nothing to do here, analyzing randomly.

At this time, the conversation among the adults next to them immediately became realistic again.

After asking about Motegi Haruka's injury, Mother-in-law Qianjian quickly changed to another topic that she was more interested in: "I remember that in three days, you will be forty years old - you should also prepare to get married and have children, right? .”

"..." With these overly down-to-earth words, the mysterious smoke surrounding the cowboy detective suddenly turned into the down-to-earth smoke of sadness.

He stiffened for a moment, then expertly changed his subject: "We'll talk about the future later. What we need most now is a sumptuous dinner - everyone will be starving all the way here."

As he spoke, he turned his head and strode towards the door of the Dusk Villa.

Jiang Xia looked at the two people and quickly followed them.

…

I knocked on the door and waited for a while, but no one came to open it.

Jiang Xia pushed it smoothly and saw that the door was indeed unlocked. As he pushed, it slid to both sides.

The wide door opened, revealing the simple and old hall behind.

The hall is spacious and has stairs leading upstairs, but the overall tone is dark and the lighting cannot reach every corner. Coupled with the cloudy sky and thunder and lightning outside, the appropriate word "haunted house" unconsciously came to everyone's mind.

However, although the atmosphere is similar, there are no ghost probes.

——There were only two normal-looking humans in the hall.

One of them seems to be the maid in this villa. She is wearing a black undershirt and a white apron. She is thin and ordinary in appearance. She has thin pockmarks on her face and speaks in a soft voice.

Opposite the maid, stood a fat man almost three times her size.

The man was wearing a light-colored suit and tie. He was patting the handrail of the stairs and said angrily: "The chef is not coming? I came all the way here just for the dinner in the invitation!"

"...I'm sorry, the master said that the chef is seriously ill and can't come over. He asked me to prepare dinner for you first." The maid didn't expect that things would turn out like this. She bowed repeatedly, "The ingredients have been prepared. I will prepare the meal right away. It’s just that the taste might be…”

"Forget it, you don't need to! I'll do it myself."

The fat gourmet detective snorted, rolled up his sleeves, and strode to the kitchen: "Only food and murders in the world are worthy of making me think. Rather than letting a layman take over the kitchen, it's better for me to do it myself."

He disappeared quickly through the small door on the side of the stairs.

The maid bit her thumb, looked at his back worriedly, and sighed.

After two seconds, she came to her senses and planned to go to the door to greet other guests.

When I turned around, I realized that the guests had already entered on their own.

The maid was stunned, then hurriedly came up to greet you and bowed: "Welcome, the master has been waiting for you for a long time."

Opposite her, Jiang Xia wiped her light-colored sunglasses stained by rain and put them on again.

Seeing that the maid's eyes fell on him first, he asked casually: "With so many detectives summoned, does the master here have anything important to do?"

"This..." The maid actually didn't know what the owner of the Twilight Villa wanted to do, so she could only choose what she knew and said, "Actually, in addition to a few people, there are also two detectives who have just arrived - a young lady and a... High school detectives. They have gone to put away their luggage and will be down soon." He tactfully hinted that when everyone is here, the clever detectives can guess what is going on. Just don't ask her anymore...
