Chapter 2126 2134 [Brother and Sister] Ask for monthly ticket o(〃'▽'〃)o
Naoko Torimaru: "..." This hateful minion of Hashimoto Maya actually became Jiang Xia's assistant. He must have been sent by Uzo to be an undercover agent. She has to find an opportunity to quietly remind Jiang Xia.
It is easy to be monitored when sending messages via electronic devices, so it is better to find an opportunity to speak directly. In addition, before that, be aware of any monitoring devices near you or Jiang Xia.
As Torimaru Naoko was thinking about it, she heard the baseball player ask in confusion, "Aren't we all going to discuss the dinner together today? Why are we going in separately?"
Torimaru Naoko came back to her senses and explained softly, "This mansion is divided into two parts, east and west. Your guest rooms are also on the east and west sides. Guests living in the east side must enter from the east gate, and guests living in the west side must enter from the west gate. This has always been the rule of this mansion."
She recalled the manual that Mrs. Sufang gave them on the day they started working, and recited: "In this house, if you don't follow the rules, you may become unlucky - after all, this is the house where the cursed mask lives."
The maid's words were gloomy and weird. The baseball player and Mao Lilan felt a pang in their hearts at the same time and wanted to run away again.
Naoko Torimaru shook her head secretly: It's just superstition passed down by the elderly, how come even young people believe it so? Speaking of which, if these people left because of fear, leaving the stage incomplete, Usa's expression would probably be very interesting.
After a moment, Naoko Torimaru froze again: "..." Wait, if that's the case, will Usa force other actors to fill the role? - For example, some innocent twin sisters or something.
As this thought flashed through her mind, she took a step back as if nothing had happened, bent down and made a standard invitation gesture: It would be better to trick these people in first, so as to avoid any more trouble.
Two superstitious and timid guests did have the intention of backing out, but then they changed their minds and thought: the upcoming charity dinner was a big event, and this place was in the middle of nowhere, and it would be even more terrifying to go back alone, so it would be better for them to go together.
Finally, all the guests said nothing more. They separated according to the east and west directions assigned by the twin sisters, and each entered the house from the door in the corresponding direction.
The last guest walked in. Naoko Torimaru looked towards Masumi Takamori from a distance, nodded slightly to her, then retreated into the room and closed the door.
She turned her attention to the guests on her side.
Naoko Torimaru smiled as she led the guests into the house, while secretly observing them - Hashimoto Maya, as a subordinate of Usa, would not kill people directly. So if Usa really set the stage here, then among the three people behind him, there might be a villain who could kill people at any time.
...When the man makes a move, she has to get away in time to avoid the blood splattering on her skirt which would be difficult to wash off.
…
On the other side, Takamori Masumi also entered the hall with Jiang Xia and his friends.
This mansion is very unique, and it exudes a museum-like atmosphere in the eyes of everyone. So when they came in, they couldn't help but look around, and their eyes were quickly attracted by the decorations on the wall.
——Other people like to hang paintings on their walls, but Mrs. Sufang’s walls are covered with masks of various shapes, which really looks like a mask museum.
Hashimoto Maya came here once last time and was not very interested in masks. His eyes quickly fell on Takamori Masumi, and then he soon discovered that the maid's attention was all on Jiang Xia.
Hashimoto Maya: "..." According to the aesthetic taste of a young woman of this age, it is normal for her to look at Jiang Xia a few more times, but the problem is that he always feels that Miss Shimokasa Honami's feelings towards Jiang Xia are not appreciation or love, but more like...
Hashimoto Maya searched her mind for a long time and finally found the most appropriate description: like a mouse seeing a cat.
Hashimoto Maya touched her chin like Jiang Xia and had a detective-like thought: "..." There is a problem, a big problem.
How could a decent person be afraid of Jiang Xia? Could this woman be a wanted criminal on the run, or were her relatives or friends criminals who were sent to jail by Jiang Xia, so this was the case?
In any case, abnormalities mean danger.
Hashimoto Maya didn't say anything, but added the young maid and her twin sister to the alert list just like she did with the fortune teller just now.
Takamori Masumi noticed his obscure scrutiny. She realized something was wrong and quickly introduced the masks to the guests like a proper maid: "Mrs. Sufang has a hobby of collecting masks. These are her collections on the wall. Please go upstairs first. There are many more exquisite masks on the second floor. You can enjoy them at any time."
There was a staircase on one side of the hall, and Takamori Masumi brought a few people here.
The stairs were made of wood and covered with a soft red carpet. Next to the handrail on the inside of the stairs stood a two-meter-tall knight in armor. The knight held a sharp axe in his hand, as if standing guard for this passage.
When Takamori Masumi saw the statue of the knight, she suddenly remembered something. She moved away calmly, then stepped onto the stairs and led everyone upstairs.
Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran didn't think much about it and just thought that the maid was considerately making way for the guests.
Maya Hashimoto suddenly became alert, his eyes fell on the Iron Knight next to the stairs: Is there something wrong with this thing?
...That's right, the long axe in the knight's hand was polished to a shiny finish. If it happened to fall and hit a passerby, the passerby's blood would stain the red carpet under his feet.
Conan also looked over there, with a puzzled look in his eyes: "..." They came from the main door, and the stairs were located on the side of the hall. With this layout, when someone walked from the door to the stairs, they would usually go upstairs from the place near the inner handrail. But this maid seemed to be very averse to passing by the foot of the mount...
Conando glanced at the knight's statue twice, then at the maid twice more. He didn't pay much attention, but habitually wrote down the information.
Jiang Xia was walking at the end. He looked at Takamori Masumi, then at Hashimoto Maya and Conan: "..." Although he didn't know what was in these people's minds, the murderous aura seemed to have increased.
He flicked his finger on the mermaid's head: Don't be lazy, go and grab it.
Mermaid: “…”
…
The group went up to the second floor, and Takamori Masumi breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned around, lifted her skirt and saluted, then gestured to the ivory-white door in front of her: "I'm going to put the luggage away. Please wait in this mask room first."
After saying that, without waiting for their consent, she snatched the luggage from the guests' hands with a speed that seemed gentle and elegant, but was actually as fast as the wind, and walked quickly towards the guest room.
Suzuki Sonoko was stunned: "She is so strong."
Hashimoto Maya: “…” She snatched the bag so skillfully. Is this woman a fugitive bag snatcher?
