Chapter 714 A slightly strange mansion



Looking at the Carlo card that represented bad omen, everyone had different expressions.

For example, Matsudaira Morinari, who is superstitious about fortune-telling and even chooses the lucky color of his gloves according to the day's lucky color, had a change of expression on his face, while the photographer Katagiri Masanori next to him had no reaction and seemed not to believe in these things.

However, because of the "threatening letter", Xiaolan, Ayako and Maori Kogoro associated some bad things with it, and their faces looked a little unhappy.

As for Conan and Tang Ze, they didn't completely have no reaction.

After all, this thing is magical, but it may not stand up to scrutiny.

At least from the current situation, it is possible that the invitation letter was received by everyone besides Ayako and the others.

Naturally, Nagayoshi Haruka, the fortune teller, also received it.

All she had to do was place the "Tower" card representing disaster first before getting off the bus, and then draw it out when she came over. It was so simple.

After all, since someone has sent a "threatening letter", it means that someone wants to cause trouble. It is obviously not a loss to make a prediction with such a high probability of success.

Moreover, all of them are celebrities, so the benefits of having one more believer are self-evident.

"Hey, hey, this is too unlucky..." Maori Kogoro on the side reacted and said with a smile: "We are here to do good things, not bad things."

"Fate has guided me in this way, I am just expressing it." Nagara Haruka did not get angry when he heard this, but replied calmly.

"Well, it's not a good idea to stand here and talk. Let's go in first." Tang Ze looked at the many people gathered and started to propose to interrupt the useless conversation between the two people.

"That being said, this mansion actually has two gates." Katagiri Masaki looked at the two gates in front of him and said, "I don't know which one to go through."

However, as Katagiri Masanori finished speaking, the big door on the right in front of everyone suddenly opened.

Everyone looked up and saw a maid in a red maid outfit walk out from behind the door. She bowed slightly and said in welcome, "Welcome, distinguished guests."

"Oh, so the entrance is here." Kogoro Mouri said with a smile.

Before Kogoro Mouri could finish his words, he found that the door on his left also opened immediately afterwards, and the maid who came out was not only dressed the same as the one on the right, but also looked exactly the same!

"Twins?" Looking at the two people in front of him, Tang Ze narrowed his eyes and felt that this scene was more and more familiar.

He even had the answer in his mind, but for some reason, he still needed to confirm it further.

But if his guess was correct, he would soon be able to get the answer from it.

After some self-introductions, they learned that the maid on the left was Shimokasa Honami, and the one on the right was Shimokasa Minaho. They had the same surname but their names were in reverse order.

"Please come in from the east door to rest, Detective Mori and his companions, as well as Miss Ayako and her male companion." Shimokasa Honami extended her hand, made a gesture of invitation, and invited with a smile.

"As for Mr. Katagiri, Mr. Matsudaira and Ms. Nagara, please come in from the west side and rest." Shimokasa Minaho made the same invitation.

"Why do we have to go in separately?"

Because of Nagarahara's divination before, and this slightly weird scene, Matsudaira Mamoru on the side questioned with a somewhat ugly expression.

"Because the interior layout of this mansion is divided into two different parts, east and west."

Shimokasa Minaho explained with a smile, "In any accommodation the host arranges for guests, guests staying in rooms on the west side must enter through the west entrance."

"Whenever the host arranges accommodation for guests, guests in rooms on the east side must enter through the east entrance."

Shimokasa Honami smiled and said, "This is the usual practice in this mansion."

"This mansion is truly bizarre."

Conan, who was standing by, twitched his lips after hearing the explanation of the two twin maids. He was obviously speechless about the rules of this mansion.

"In this mansion, if you don't follow the rules..."

"It will definitely lead to disaster afterwards."

The two sisters' half-sentence explanation made Xiaolan shocked, "Will they all suffer disasters in the future?"

"Why would such a thing happen?" The superstitious Matsudaira Mamoru asked with a horrified look on his face.

"Because here..."

"Because here..."

When the twin sisters heard Matsudaira Mamoru's question, they simultaneously revealed a strange smile on their faces and said in unison: "It is the mansion where the cursed mask lives..."

As the two sisters spoke, the mansion's bell rang, startling a large flock of black crows, which flew off from the rooftops with strange cries.

This ominous scene cast a shadow over everyone's hearts, and they felt a lot more eerie when looking at this luxurious mansion.

Well, it feels like a normal shot with the BBC hell filter added.

"Cursed Mask!?"

When people heard this word, their reactions varied. As Tang Ze's mind became more and more connected to the case he was thinking about, he also felt a little puzzled.

However, he did not express his thoughts, but suppressed them in his heart and walked towards the doors on both sides into the house with everyone else as the maid said.

As the door closed, snowflakes began to float in the sky again, as if foreshadowing something.

After entering the house, everyone first looked around.

This mansion really fits the description of the "Cursed Mask" as the two maids said. As soon as you enter the door, you will see all kinds of masks hanging on the wall.

But without exception, these masks look very strange.

"Teacher Su Fang has always had a hobby of collecting masks."

Seeing everyone stop and look around, Shimokasa Honami smiled and explained, then said, "Everyone, please follow me."

Following the footsteps of the maid Shimokasa Honami, everyone walked towards the stairs on the side.

"I'll go get your luggage now. Please wait in the Mask Hall for a while."

After reaching the second floor, Shimokasa Honami extended her right hand and pointed to the silver door on the side: "This room is the 'Masked Room'."

After saying that, the other party took the luggage bags from everyone and left, while Kogoro Mouri took the lead in opening the door and led everyone into the "Masked Hall".

Just as he entered, the door opposite was opened, revealing the figures of Matsudaira Mamoru and others.

It was at this time that everyone realized that this "Masked Hall" was the passage between the East Wing and the West Wing.

This place is worthy of being called the "Mask Hall". It is almost like a mask exhibition hall. All kinds of masks are displayed on the counter, attracting everyone's attention.
