Dusk Villa.
A villa standing deep in the mountains, with a sinister and terrifying appearance, looks like the kind of eerie villa where vampires live in movies when viewed from a distance, exuding a chilling aura.
When night completely falls and darkness descends.
A silver Porsche 918 Spyder slowly crossed an old wooden bridge, its wheels creaking as they rolled over the planks, before finally coming to a stop in the open space in front of the villa.
Yuzuru got out of the driver's seat, glanced at the many cars parked around, then raised an eyebrow and said with a hint of teasing, "Looks like we're the last to arrive. Ran and the others are already here."
"Huh? Nan, how did you know?" Kazuha asked, looking puzzled, as she got out of the car.
Ai also glanced at the surrounding vehicles, just like Nanami Hanyu did, and then said thoughtfully, "Because there is one car that doesn't fit in with the others."
At this moment, various luxury cars, such as Bentleys, Ferraris, and Porsches, were neatly lined up in front of the villa, all of which were expensive imported luxury cars.
However, among these many luxury cars, only one dilapidated little car stood out conspicuously and seemed out of place.
The car even had a rental company's nameplate on it.
The world of Detective Conan is, after all, the home of detectives, and detectives with even a little fame are all quite wealthy, except for Kogoro Mouri.
It's not that he's not famous; in fact, he's arguably the most famous detective in the world right now. But Kogoro Mouri spends his days indulging in drinking, horse racing, and card games, and he often goes to brothels.
He squandered any money he had, no matter how small.
For this reason, Ran simply took direct control of the family finances. Now, if Kogoro Mouri wants to spend money, he has to get his daughter's approval first.
"Oh, looking closer, this Twilight Villa looks even more like a haunted house," Kazuha murmured softly, gazing up at the dim light emanating from the villa.
"A haunted house?" Yuzuru said with a playful tone, "If there really are ghosts, this place is much scarier than an ordinary haunted house."
As he approached, he noticed that the spiritual energy around the villa was unusually active. However, compared to places with abundant spiritual energy, this place felt somewhat oppressive.
This place feels more like an ominous place.
After all, a horrific massacre had taken place in this place decades ago, with countless people dying at the same time.
It is only because we are in the technological age that spiritual energy is not prominent; otherwise, it would have at least given birth to a vengeful ghost that dominates the area.
"Let's go in first, don't keep them waiting too long." Yuzuru said as he led Kazuha and Ai toward the main entrance.
They walked up a long flight of stairs, and Yuzuru reached out and pulled the golden ring on the door, knocking it three times gently.
"Bang bang..."
The door slowly opened on one side.
A maid dressed in a black maid outfit, with a white apron hanging around her neck and a few freckles on her face, appeared at the door.
"Welcome, are you Mr. Yuzuru? Please come in, I am your maid, Aki Ishihara." Aki Ishihara bowed very politely and then stepped aside.
"Thank you, it's me." Yuzuru nodded in return.
As Ishihara Aki entered the annex, all the invited detectives had arrived.
As Ishihara Aki closed the door again.
Suddenly, the darkness outside was illuminated, followed by a deafening clap of thunder, and large raindrops began to fall with the wind.
A storm has begun.
.........
The moment they walked in, they immediately attracted the attention of all the detectives in the living room.
"Kusun, Kazuha, Ai, you've finally arrived."
Ran, who was standing next to Kogoro Mouri, ran over happily and twirled around with her best friend Kazuha, holding hands.
The two young and beautiful girls, full of energy, were truly a sight to behold.
Yu Shengnan glanced around the living room and saw that it was indeed full of talented people.
Kogoro Mouri, the "Sleeping Detective," is currently laughing heartily while holding his head in his hands.
Conan and Heiji Hattori were huddled in a corner, whispering to each other.
The elderly woman with white hair, wearing small glasses, standing by the entrance hall, was once a famous detective who could easily solve a case just by listening to people talk about it while sitting in an armchair.
Harufumi Mogi, a middle-aged detective wearing a black top hat and a green coat, was once wanted by the Chicago Mafia.
Ooshiki Shuzen, a chubby, short-tempered gourmet detective.
Ms. Ikumi Kanata, the former prosecutor who wore the same white lab coat, red inner layer, and green eyes as Ai Haibara, was also an outstanding detective...
Yu Shengnan paused, observing everyone's expressions.
He then glanced with amusement at Hakuba Saguru, the son of Superintendent General Hakuba of the Metropolitan Police Department, who was sitting on the second floor with a white dove perched on his shoulder and a rather unpleasant expression.
Yoho!
Has Kaito become this bold now?
He even dared to use his nemesis, Hakuba Saguru, as a stand-in.
It has to be said, Kuroba Chikage and Kuroba Kaito really are family!
With amusement in mind, Yuzuru walked straight toward Ikumi Yata, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs. She looked somewhat flustered but pretended to be calm when she saw him approaching.
“It seems you’ve already discovered the strangeness of this villa.” As Yuzuru spoke, he casually took the reagent bottle from Ikumi Yata’s hand.
Ikumi Gunda subconsciously let go of his hand and watched as Kusanagi Hanyu sprayed a little reagent onto the stair railing with the reagent bottle, and then a few fluorescent spots appeared on the railing.
"What is this?" Xiaolan asked curiously.
Ai crossed her arms and said slowly, "Luminol reagent produces a special fluorescence when it comes into contact with blood, which can be observed even by ordinary people."
"Then that..."
Xiaolan seemed to have thought of something, and her voice trembled as she looked around at the dark purple marks on the walls, the ground, and the door that were exactly the same as those on the handrail.
“That’s right, these are all traces of blood left behind.” The old woman, Chima Kōdai, said, squinting her eyes.
"ah!"
Kazuha and Ran huddled together in terror.
These two best friends are remarkably similar in their fear of ghosts.
Even with Yuzuru's props as support, let alone ghosts, even Amaterasu Omikami could beat them up, but the two of them were still afraid.
