Chapter 2094 2102 [Curaçao in the Cabinet]
Hashimoto Maya: “…” As expected of her, although she is not as good as Uzo in provoking things without leaving any trace, her skill in adding fuel to the fire is just as good.
Just as the two sides were on the verge of a fight, a young woman holding a cat came over.
Xun Menghuang looked at the guests, then at Xun Ryunosuke, and quickly understood the current situation. She stroked the black cat in her arms and said, "I'm so sorry, my brother has always been ill-mannered, please forgive me."
Hashimoto Maya: “…”Are you really here to mediate the fight, not to add fuel to the fire?
Jiang Xia looked around at the Xun family members and then conscientiously thought about the business. He looked at Mrs. Xun and the doctor who was attacked together: "What exactly happened to the cursed warrior just now?"
Mrs. Xun trembled with fear when she mentioned this: "We were seeing a patient just now, and suddenly we felt that the light was not right. We looked up and found a man standing outside the shoji. He suddenly swung a knife and cut a hole in the paper door, and then... then you came over."
The only doctor in the village, Dr. Fuyuki, nodded repeatedly with a pale face, obviously he also saw the horrific scene.
At this moment, an old voice floated from the courtyard: "That is Master Jianchun, it must be him - he has resurrected and is coming to seek revenge."
Mao Lilan's voice was distorted: "...So there really is a ghost?"
Jiang Xia looked for the person who was speaking and saw a thin old lady in the yard. It was her who had just spoken. He asked, "Who are you?"
"Mom!" Before the old lady could say anything, Dr. Fuyuki came back to his senses.
He got up in a hurry and ran to the yard: "Why are you running around again? Stop talking nonsense and come home with me."
The old lady struggled and refused to leave: "Why don't you let me speak? Isn't this the truth? All the people in Xun's family are cursed. Since four hundred years ago, they have been carrying the curse of Master Jianchun - everyone will die, everyone!"
Doctor Fuyuki: “…”
He was sweating profusely and apologized to his employer: "I'm so sorry, my mother is old and her mind is not very clear, I will take her back now."
The doctor and his old mother retreated quickly, leaving behind an even more desolate and terrifying atmosphere.
In the silence, a primary school student's voice broke the silence.
Conan: "How strange! The footprints on the floor disappeared halfway through."
Others: “…”
Outside, this might be a normal child's voice. But at this moment, in this atmosphere, many people shuddered silently.
A group of people looked at Conan with complicated eyes, among which the gazes of Hashimoto Maya and Curacao were the most intriguing.
Fortunately, there was a high school detective who was willing to take up his case. Jiang Xia walked to the corridor, looked at the yard and the corridor, and found that there was indeed a set of footprints on the corridor next to the yard. The footprints went to the side and disappeared after a few steps.
Jiang Xia touched his chin and said, "The 'warrior' must have come from the yard, and his feet were stuck with the mud in the yard. When he left, he took off his shoes after walking a few steps along the corridor, so the footprints suddenly disappeared."
Tatsumi Ryunosuke felt something was wrong and asked, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Xia said bluntly: "The 'cursed warrior' is hiding in your house now."
Xun family: “!”
Jiang Xia: "It's even possible that he is a member of your family."
Xun's family, who hadn't seen many cases, said: "!!"
"that……"
A cautious voice broke the silence.
The maid of Xun's family poked her head out of the door and looked at Mrs. Xun: "Madam, there is a man who calls himself 'Akanuma' who wants to see you and says he is your friend."
"Akanuma?!" Mrs. Xun's face suddenly changed, and she said dryly, "Well, then please ask him to go to the reception room first."
…
Mrs. Xun's attitude was a little strange, and everyone could see it.
On the way to the reception room to join in the fun, Suzuki Sonoko gathered with two classmates and gossiped quietly: "Mrs. Xun's attitude is a bit strange. Who do you think is coming?"
Jiang Xia didn't have time to guess because the reception room was so close that he could only walk two steps to it.
The next moment, they saw a figure who was covered in black from head to toe. The person was wearing black clothes and a veil, with no skin exposed from head to toe.
——It turned out to be the “Kuroko” I saw at the shrine just now.
Mao Lilan: “…” Even if you look at it in bright light, it’s still really scary.
Mrs. Xun came to her senses and introduced them: "This is my husband's old friend, Mr. Akanuma Saburo."
She then said to the maid, "Hurry up and prepare a guest room for Mr. Akanuma."
The maid said helplessly: "But the guest rooms are full."
Mrs. Xun was embarrassed: "This..."
Akanuma Saburo suddenly said, "Isn't the 'Pinmen' room still empty? I'll just make do with that room. Is that okay, Mrs. Xun?"
Mrs. Xun nodded carefully: "Okay, then, please do as you please."
Heizi turned around and left, feeling as comfortable as if he had returned home.
Xun Longzhisuke snorted coldly and seemed to want to curse, but he didn't dare to open his mouth because of his weird look. In the end, he said nothing more and went back to his room to sleep.
It was getting late, and everyone went back to their rooms.
Curacao tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
After all, the Japanese-style rooms here are artistic, but it is too easy to break in - the paper door can be pried open, the floor can be lifted up, and if the intruder is skilled enough, even the ceiling can be turned into a passage.
Even the strongest person would be afraid of being stabbed in the middle of a sleep. So Curacao looked left and right, hesitated for a moment, and silently dragged the quilt to the cupboard.
...It's not that I'm scared, it's mainly because it's cold in the mountains at night and it's warm in the closet.
Entering the closet felt like going home. Curacao wrapped himself tightly in the quilt and finally had a sound sleep.
…
The next morning, Curacao got up and went out.
After walking a few steps, he saw Hashimoto Maya, a close confidant of Usa, who had a faint mark on his left cheek.
Curacao: "..." Hmm? Isn't this the pattern on the inside of the closet?
She understood instantly and chuckled, "Is it comfortable to sleep in the cupboard? It's not easy for such a big person to squeeze himself in."
Hashimoto Maya: “?!” How did this woman know!
A member of an organization had to sleep in a closet because he was afraid of a night attack. This was a lifelong shame for Maya Hashimoto.
Just then, Jiang Xia walked out from another guest room nearby.
He glanced at Hashimoto Maya and pointed at his face: "Why is there a mark on it? Did you not sleep well last night?"
"!"
In a flash, Hashimoto Maya suddenly understood everything.
He looked at Curacao with suspicion in his eyes: "You know where I slept last night because of this pattern? Wait, how do you know what the pattern on the inside of the closet looks like!?"
Curacao froze: "..."
