Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 493: House of Black Magic

On the way to Huosi's house, Dr. A Li drove a yellow beetle behind the luxury car. Except for Xiao Ai, he was not interested in staying at the villa, but Bu Mei followed.

Yuanta couldn't help but slobbered: "There should be a lot of delicious food later, right?"

"Genta," Mitsuhiko said in an unpleasant way, "we didn't come here to eat, okay!"

"However, it is said that there is a special event, I don't know what it will be, it's so mysterious..."

Dr. Ari, who was driving, had some worries. He seemed to have heard of an incident just now. If he could, he didn't want to bring the children over.

As long as there are very few incidents that are not involved in high achievements, I dare not ask Gao Cheng to be a nanny casually...

But... wait, is it because of Gao Cheng or Shinichi?

The doctor scratched the top of his bald head.

"Really?" Inside the luxury car, Gao Cheng's expression was solemn, "Is that the deceased who was crushed in half by the train, the president of the Huoji Company Qinglong?"

"Well, because the Huoji Company exerted pressure on the media, the name was not mentioned in the news."

The teenager Kentaro Izawa hugged his arm and explained: "The external statement is related to the company's reputation, but... In fact, shortly before the death of President Aolong, the ancient magician displayed in the cabinet of the Huojijia Karuizawa villa. All the puppets were stolen, and on the day of the accident, one of the puppets was found in the villa..."

Kentaro Inezawa had a deep gaze: "The doll was placed on the rails of President Aolong’s favorite model of the railway. Like the corpse of the president who got wet in the heavy rain, the doll was wetted by someone, and it was divided into two. segment!"

"Because of this, do you think President Qinglong's death was not an accident?"

"Yes, there is a person in the Huo Si family who is very important to me, so I have always cared about it. It was by no means a simple accident. This time I specially asked Xiaoqiao to come here to understand the truth about the death of President Qinglong..."

The Museum of Grapes, luxury cars and Doctor's Beetle cars parked on the side of the road one after another.

The Pavilion of Grapes in the setting sun looks a little weird, but without looking at the well-kept courtyards around it, it almost thought it was an abandoned villa, with crows resting on the roof, and the crows were infiltrating.

It is still a little uncomfortable to see Gaozai for the second time. Compared with the lakeside villa, there are completely two conflicting styles. No wonder the villa will be sold. The aesthetics of this Huojijia is really strange.

"Is this really the Museum of Grapes?" Mitsuhiko got out of the car and walked to Gao Cheng, looking at the villa with climbing vines everywhere on the outer wall, "Does the Pavilion of Grapes mean that there are many vines? "

Kentaro Izawa smiled at Mitsuhiko: "It might have meant this, but now there is another way of saying it. People here call it the cursed mansion, the black magic mansion."

"Black magic? Is it because of the pronunciation of grapes?" Gao Cheng thought of Koizumi Hongzi's red magic, thinking slightly.

"You'll find out later."

Kentaro Izawa first walked into the villa, followed by Gao Cheng, and found that the villa was a bit old, but still very stylish. The decoration inside the villa is similar to that of the twilight annex, which is probably a building of the same period.

"I heard that this villa was bought by President Qinglong 5 years ago. It seems that it has not been repaired..."

"Oh, Izawa is here..." A man in a suit with burns on his face and cheeks passed through the hall and noticed that Kenken Kobashi beside Kentaro Izawa and Gao Cheng slightly narrowed his eyes.

"Is this the famous detective Mr. Kioto? I heard Kaizaki and Kobashi-kun say a few days ago that it is great to meet today. I am the new president of the Huoji Group, Huo Sixiao..."

"Hello," Gao Cheng stepped forward and shook hands with Huo Sixiao, and looked embarrassedly at the Mitsuhiko who looked around curiously, "I'm afraid I will disturb you today..."

"It's nothing. It's my honor for Detective Kioto to be a guest, but," Huo Shixiao glanced at Kentaro Inazawa, "I'm afraid it would be a waste of effort for Izawa to invite you here. My father was only drunk and fell asleep on the rails. That kind of thing will happen, it's just an unfortunate accident..."

Before Gao Cheng could say anything, Huo Jixiao turned to Kentaro Inazawa and said, "How about? Will it be successful this time?"

"No problem," Izawa Asakusa blinked, and smiled when he faced Huoji Akatsuki's question. "Although it is deep in the mountains, this is Karuizawa. The communication facilities are still guaranteed. The latest video conference system is installed in the president’s office. This is the second head office of the Huoji Group. All instructions can be sent from here..."

"Really? That's great," Huo Sixiao said happily, "I still have something to do. See you when the event starts."

"Ok."

"Isawa," Gao Cheng looked at Huo Jixiao who was leaving, and said even more strangely, "What is that activity?"

"It's black magic," Kentaro Izawa explained. "In fact, this villa will hold a magic salon every full moon night. I heard that a new black magician will come tonight..."

"Black magician?"

Gao Cheng had to ask again, a girl in a skirt like the big sister next door walked into the living room with tea.

"Welcome to Huo Si's home, have a cup of vanilla tea, it was just picked."

"Hoshiko," Kentaro Izawa saw the girl immediately as if she had changed herself, without the weight she had before, "I'll help!"

"Thank you," the girl smiled sweetly. "The new teacher is coming soon. Let's sit down and eat some biscuits. We will gather between the ceremonies later."

"Between the ceremonies?" Mitsuhiko surrounded the girl actively, "Big sister, are there any ceremonies between the ceremonies?"

The girl was very patient with the child, nodded and smiled: "Well, everyone must be obedient later."

"it is good!"

Gao Cheng silently looked at the smiling girl and Kentaro Izawa. When Dr. Aka wiped his sweat to take care of a few children, he asked Ken Kobashi next to him: "Could that girl be Izawa? Is that very important person? Are they dating?"

"I don't know too much," Xiaoqiao Xian said with a wry smile when he saw the girl who looked like a big innocent boy in front of the girl. "She is Huoji's parent and daughter, Huoji Xingzi, 28 years old."

"Isawa is only 17 years old?" Gao Cheng was a little speechless, dare to be a little older because of his age difference.

"But it's nothing strange," Ken Kobashi said with a weird smile, "President Akatsuki's young wife is only 17 years old..."

"The young wife of the middle-aged uncle just now?!"

"You'll see it later."

"Although I'm an outsider can't say anything, but when it comes to wives, young and old, it is easy to have property problems, right?"

Gao Cheng stood by the window and looked outside.

Different from the exquisiteness of the lakeside villa, the Grape Pavilion is more like a manor, with an area even larger than the twilight pavilion. In addition to the main house, the villa promenade also connects several buildings, and there are several independent buildings beside the woods. The building, one of the special bungalows seems to be the so-called ritual room.

Black magic?

Gao Cheng's fingers tightened. He felt that after he figured out the secrets of Huo Si's family, he might be able to solve the mystery of President Qinglong's death, and he must participate in the waiting ceremony.

After eating dessert, Gao Cheng asked Dr. Ari to take care of the excited Mitsuhiko, followed by the small bridge and crossed the promenade to between the ceremonies. The sky outside unknowingly darkened, and it was a little frightening.

"President Qinglong has three adopted sons and daughters. In addition to President Akatsuki and Xingzi, there is also a horrible fire sacrifice Jiuyao," Kentaro Izawa took the opportunity to explain while walking. "Although they are all suspected, all three have The alibi proved that on the day of the incident, President Xiao had been at the head office in Tokyo, Jiuyao was reading in the living room just now, and Xingzi was picking herbs in the courtyard..."

"In other words, do all three have an alibi?"

Gao Cheng thought of the stolen puppet cursed by the Huo Si family mentioned by Jing Ze. The puppet's death method was the same as that of President Qinglong. It was like a homicide notice. I don't know if it was a coincidence or the murderer's intention, and what purpose.

"How many cursed dolls were stolen?"

"This..." Izawa said not sure~www.NovelMTL.com~ I don't know very well either. They are all puppets with some history, so there should be quite a few. "

Gao Cheng frowned.

This Huojijia case seemed a bit tricky, and it reminded him of the **** puppet master Gao Yuanyao, who has been at large, seems to be an incident in Jintianyi.

Maybe I need to ask Officer Megome about the case in Tokyo...

"Senior Citito," Izawa said with a worried expression, "If President Qinglong was really killed, the motive is likely to be property or something, so Xingzi would be in danger..."

Gao Cheng regained his senses: "Well, Jing Ze, are you dating?"

"No...no," Jing Ze said with a blushing face, "the only one in this family who is the most normal, so I am a little worried..."

"is it?"
