So next, Fang Zheng, Xiaolan and Conan began to search the entire Dusk Villa.
In fact, even Fang Zheng didn't know if they could find any clues. In fact, knowing that Karasuma Renya was there was already a major clue. As long as they had a clear target and kept tracking, they would be able to find the other party's lair sooner or later. However, if Karasuma Renya hid some secrets or clues in this annex, then it would speed up the process, right?
Unfortunately, this villa was indeed quite large, and Fang Zheng wandered around for quite some time, only to find some unrelated things.
While they were wandering around the Twilight Villa, other invited guests arrived one after another.
They are the gray-haired, almost elderly armchair detective Chikan Kyoudai.
Haruki Mogi is a detective who loves cars like his life.
The famous gourmet detective Okami Zhushan.
Detective Ikumi Gunda was once a prosecutor.
And another famous high school detective, Hakuba Tantei.
It's like a big collection of detectives.
Looking at the room full of detectives, Fang Zheng said that he didn't fit in at all. Maori Kogoro was at least the sleeping Kogoro, and Xiaolan had made a lot of reputation as a female high school detective during this period. Conan was the famous high school detective Kudo Shinichi. He was the only one who had nothing to do with detectives...
"I never expected to see so many detectives gathered together. It's really rare."
Mogi Haruhi, who looked like a handsome man, looked at the detectives in the room and couldn't help but sigh. The high school detective Hakuba Tsutomu smiled and shook his finger.
"But there is one of us who is not a detective."
As Bai Ma Tan finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Fang Zheng, and he raised his hands helplessly.
"I'll state in advance that I'm just a driver."
"It's really too self-deprecating to call yourself a driver, Mr. Fang Zheng."
At this time, former prosecutor Ms. Ikumi Gunda smiled slightly.
"I heard from my friends in the Metropolitan Police Department that there is a famous mind-reading expert in the Metropolitan Police Department. No matter what kind of criminal he is, he can't hide from him..."
"Thank you, they are just some tricks."
Fang Zheng waved his hand.
"It's just some basic knowledge application. I still can't compare with the detectives (Death God)."
At least people don’t die wherever I go.
Fortunately, Fang Zheng swallowed these words, otherwise there might have been another tragic scene of fratricide on the spot.
After that, because the chef did not show up, the food detective Ogami Zhushan was furious and finally decided to cook by himself. The others were taken to the restaurant by the maid, where a person dressed like the FFF members sat. When he saw everyone coming, he immediately started talking nonsense.
Of course, it was nothing more than introducing the history of this annex to everyone - Fang Zheng had already told Maori Kogoro and Xiaolan about this, and then he talked about the tragedy forty years ago. After everyone finished dinner, this guy from the Death Group finally revealed his true purpose.
It turns out that he wanted the detectives present to come treasure hunting!
After hearing this, Fang Zheng and Conan perked up a little. Although they didn't know whether the treasure this person was looking for was the treasure related to Karasuma Renya they were looking for, at least the other party said that there were still hidden mysteries in this mansion that had not been solved. If this secret was related to Karasuma Renya, then they might really be able to find some clues.
However, the other detectives were obviously not interested. Several of them stood up and prepared to leave. However...
"This guy is not very lucky."
Looking at the dead gourmet detective Ogami Zhushan with his hands on his neck and a painful expression, Fang Zheng also shook his head. With so many death gods gathered together, someone was bound to die. He originally thought that the unlucky one would be the maid lady, but he didn't expect that the first person to die would be Ogami Zhushan, who was also a detective?
Could this be raising a Gu? Gather all the Death Gods together and see who is the most powerful Death God who survives?
Fortunately, Kindaichi didn’t come, otherwise more people would have died and it would have been even more tragic.
Not only that, but there was another piece of bad news. All the cars parked at the door exploded, including Fang Zheng's poor Mercedes. The crowd was panicking. When they were angry and wanted to settle accounts with the FFF group guy, they found that the person sitting in front of them was actually a dummy model with a built-in video tape and timer...
Now everyone was at a loss, but fortunately the maid's car was parked at the back door and was not blown up, so everyone immediately decided to send a few people to drive to see what happened to the bridge outside, while the others stayed in the annex. So in the end, Ms. Chiken, Kogoro Mori and Haruhi Mogi drove the maid's car to investigate the situation, while the others waited for news in the annex.
But Fang Zheng was too lazy to play this game. He just sat in the restaurant and looked at the words written on the paper in his hand. This was exactly the hint that the guy had left them through the message.
"Two travelers in a hurry looked up at the sky at night, and the devil descended on the castle... What a bullshit."
Fang Zheng threw the note away. He had no interest in this kind of second-year puzzle game! This was just the other party pulling you down to his level and then using his rich experience to defeat you. Conan might be extremely enthusiastic about this kind of puzzle, but Fang Zheng had no interest at all.
Forget it, since someone is dead, let’s just end it quickly.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng also stood up and prepared to leave the restaurant.
And at this moment...
“Meow…”
Suddenly, a low cat cry sounded, which made Fang Zheng stunned for a moment. Then he walked out of the restaurant and came to the corridor, only to see a black shadow running through the corridor. Fang Zheng thought for a moment, then quickly walked to the end of the corridor, and then he found a small black cat curled up and sleeping on the stairs leading to the second floor at the end of the corridor.
"Oh, isn't this my little cutie?"
Fang Zheng stared at the kitten for a long time, then suddenly reached out and hugged it.
"You're here too, that's great!"
As he spoke, Fang Zheng rubbed his face against the kitten's belly. Ah, this familiar touch, soft and warm little kitten, this is my little kitten.
"Meow, meow."
While being held by Fang Zheng and rubbed against his face, the little kitten meowed and stretched out its little paws to press on Fang Zheng's face.
"We are back, Mr. Fang Zheng, what are you doing..."
At this moment, the others also returned to the annex. Seeing Fang Zheng rubbing against a kitten, Xiaolan, Conan and others were also stunned. Then, Xiaolan also hurried to Fang Zheng's side.
"Wow, what a cute kitten. Is it a pet here?"
“No, this is my cat.”
"Hey? Mr. Fang Zheng, do you still have a cat? I've never seen one before?"
"That's because I brought it here recently, and I haven't had time to introduce it to you yet. I didn't expect it to hide in the car and follow me here."
"That was a close call..."
Hearing Fang Zheng say this, Xiaolan also took a breath of cold air. You know, Fang Zheng’s car was blown into a fireball just now. If the kitten was also in it, it would be too dangerous.
But... so cute!
While holding the kitten's paw, Xiaolan couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, what is its name?"
"I've always called it the little guy, and I haven't given it a name. It's actually quite good this way."
Fang Zheng stroked the kitten's head.
"Well, now that something has happened, I don't think we are interested in continuing to play this game with the murderer. Let's catch the murderer first."
"But how?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Qiangtian Yumei asked curiously.
"Do you have evidence yet?"
“No evidence is needed.”
Fang Zheng shook his head.
"We'll catch them in the act."
At the same time, below the annex, Kogoro Mori and Haruki Mogi were also staring at the burning vehicle in amazement. Everything was fine when they drove here, but the bridge was damaged as expected. So Haruki Mogi asked the old lady Ms. Chikena sitting in the car to turn on the high beam to see the situation on the opposite side. As a result, at this moment, the car suddenly exploded, and then fell into the broken bridge.
Just as the two were stunned, a little black man came to the Dusk Villa quietly, sneaked into the villa, and then quickly went to the second floor. Then he pressed the button and opened a mezzanine on the ceiling. The little black man climbed up by grabbing the rope, then retracted the rope, closed the mezzanine again, and then sat at the table, looking at the surveillance screen in front of him.
But to the little black man's surprise, there was no trace of other people staying in the Dusk Villa on any of the surveillance screens!
“Click.”
And at this moment, suddenly, a dazzling light came on, and then several flashlights suddenly flashed from the darkness and shone on the little black man.
"I never thought that you are still so energetic at your age, Ms. Qianjian."
Fang Zheng stood up and looked at Ms. Qianjian, the detective sitting in the armchair, and shook his head helplessly.
“…”
Chijian Kyoudai turned around and looked at Fang Zheng, Xiaolan, Conan and Gunda Ikumi who had hidden there at some point in time, and smiled a helpless smile.
"How did you know this place?"
"We were bored during the day and played a big adventure here. Then I accidentally found that there were strange radio waves flowing here, so I opened it to take a look. I didn't expect to find a different world inside."
Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. He had originally planned to use his personal terminal to scan during the day to see if he could find any clues, but he actually found such a secret room - to be honest, it was really a bit beyond Fang Zheng's expectations.
However, since this place was simply a monitoring room and had nothing to do with the Karasuma Renya that Fang Zheng was looking for, Fang Zheng was too lazy to care about it anymore.
It was not until Dashang Zhushan died that Fang Zheng finally calmed down. It was obvious that that place was where the murderer was monitoring. Since he wanted to kill everyone, he must find a place to monitor other people's movements. So he took Xiaolan and others to hide here and wait for the murderer to fall into the trap.
Just like Fang Zheng said, there's no point in reasoning, why bother looking for evidence, just catch them in the act...
But Fang Zheng didn't expect that Ms. Qianjian, an old lady in her sixties, could jump up and down so energetically like Sun Wukong... This is not scientific at all.
Forget it, what’s the point of talking about science in the world of science.
"Okay, Ms. Qianjian, please plead guilty."
Fang Zheng was in a good mood as he stroked the kitten in his arms and looked at the pale-faced Ms. Qianjian in front of him.
The biggest gain from this trip here is the little kitten.
It's really my little cutie!!
