Chapter 578: Sunglasses Law Update to Alliance Leader [Drummer]
Kidd was a little surprised when he saw Toru Amuro getting out of the car on his own initiative.
Could it be that the scumbag boss is also interested in this banquet full of detectives?
still……
Kidd recalled Toru Amuro's seemingly natural but actually abnormal behavior of chatting him up on the road before, and secretly glanced at the young man with natural curly hair next to him.
The young man in black seemed to be quite sensitive to sight. He quickly stopped observing the Dusk Villa and turned to look at him.
"Jiang Xia" and Jiang Xia looked at each other for a moment.
Kidd tried to observe something from Jiang Xia's eyes. However, in the dim night, through the light-colored sunglasses, he couldn't see the other person's eyes clearly.
Speaking of which, Kidd suddenly wondered why Kurosawa wore sunglasses so late at night?
...From what happened before, this person should have no problem with his eyesight. He doesn't look like a blind person who needs to use sunglasses to cover up his eye abnormalities...If that's the case, then it's probably just a hobby?
Tsk, why are all the people I met today so weird?
…
The group of four, carrying their luggage, walked towards the gate of the Dusk Villa.
When passing by the vehicles next to them, several people subconsciously turned their heads to look over.
The famous detectives in this world earn a lot of money, and all the cars parked here are luxury cars, quite eye-catching: Ferrari, Mercedes, Porsche...
"There's even an Alfa Romeo." Kidd took a closer look at this rare sports car and praised it modestly, "It looks great."
"Of course." A voice came from the sports car that was being praised.
——There is someone in the car.
Soon, a tall detective with a tough chin and a cowboy look got out of the car.
The cowboy detective slammed the car door, held a cigarette between his lips, and raised his chin proudly: "It took me five years to get this fierce woman."
As he spoke, he reached out his hand with loving eyes and touched his car.
Jiang Xia: “…”
He silently moved a little further away.
The fake Jiang Xia looked at the shiny hood of the car with a little envy and wanted to reach out and touch it.
However, it is normal for high school students to be interested in sports cars, but if they are too interested, it will deviate too much from their character... Kidd thought of Jiang Xia's common indifferent appearance, and in the end he could only take a normal look at the car and did nothing.
Grandma Qianjian is not very interested in cars.
She seemed to be familiar with the cowboy detective. She looked up at him and greeted him, "It's Brother Mogi. I heard that you were attacked by the mafia in Chicago last week. Are you okay?"
Mogi Harushi exhaled a puff of smoke and shrugged casually: "It happened so long ago, I don't remember it anymore."
"..." Jiang Xia glanced at the tall and tough detective and the smoke swirling around him, and suddenly found that it was unexpectedly quite impressive to say such a line with cloudy days and smoke... Unfortunately, although his Matsuda vest has reached the age where he can smoke and drink, the ghost mint is too iconic and he can't just smoke it casually...
In the end, Jiang Xia could only touch the pocket containing the ghost mint regretfully and did nothing else.
Behind him, Amuro Toru stared at Kurosawa Sa's hand. Since he had nothing to do anyway, he began to collect random information about Kurosawa Sa: Did he seem to be about to take out a cigarette, but stopped midway? Why?
...By the way, judging from the attitude of Chiken, Matsuda, ahem, Kurosawa, seems to be Chiken's junior. It is not uncommon for the younger generation to maintain the image of not smoking or drinking in front of the elders.
He was just having nothing to do and was analyzing things randomly.
At this moment, the topic among the adults nearby immediately became realistic again.
After asking about Mogi Haruhi's injury, Granny Chiken quickly changed to another topic that interested her more: "I remember that in three days, you will be forty years old - you should also be preparing to get married and have children."
"..." With these down-to-earth words, the mysterious smoke surrounding the cowboy detective suddenly turned into down-to-earth smoke of sorrow.
He froze for a moment, then changed the subject expertly: "We'll talk about the future later. What we need most right now is a sumptuous dinner - we must be starving after rushing all the way here."
As he said this, he turned around and strode towards the gate of the Dusk Villa.
Jiang Xia looked at the two people and quickly followed.
…
I knocked on the door and waited for a moment, but no one came to open it.
Jiang Xia pushed it and saw that the door was not locked. As he pushed it, it slid to both sides with a creak.
The wide door opened, revealing the plain and old hall behind.
The hall was spacious, with stairs leading upstairs, but the overall tone was dark, and the lighting was difficult to reach every corner. Coupled with the cloudy sky and thunder and lightning outside, the word "haunted house" popped up in everyone's mind.
However, although the atmosphere was similar, no ghosts appeared.
——In the hall, there were only two humans who looked completely normal.
One of them seemed to be a maid in this villa. She was wearing a black lining and a white apron. She was thin and had an ordinary appearance. There were fine pockmarks on her face, and she spoke in a soft voice.
Opposite the maid stood a fat man who was almost three times her size.
The man was wearing a light-colored suit and a bow tie. He was patting the handrail of the stairs and angrily said, "The chef is not coming? I came all the way here for the dinner listed in the invitation!"
"…I'm sorry, the master said that the chef had an emergency and couldn't come, so he asked me to prepare dinner for you first." The maid didn't expect things to turn out like this. She bowed repeatedly, "The ingredients are ready. I'll prepare the meal right away, but the taste may be…"
"Forget it. I don't need you! I can do it myself."
The fat food detective snorted, rolled up his sleeves, and strode towards the kitchen: "Only food and murder cases in the world are worthy of my thinking. Rather than letting an amateur take over the kitchen, why not I do it myself."
He disappeared in a hurry through the small door on the side of the stairs.
The maid bit her thumb, looked at his back worriedly, and sighed.
After two seconds, she came to her senses and planned to go to the door to greet other guests.
When I turned around, I found that the guests had already entered on their own.
The maid was stunned, and hurried over to greet him, bowing: "Welcome, the master has been waiting for you for a long time."
Opposite her, Jiang Xia wiped the rain-stained light-colored sunglasses and put them back on.
Seeing that the maid's eyes fell on him first, he asked casually: "You have summoned so many detectives. Does the master here have something important to do?"
"Well..." The maid didn't know what the owner of the Twilight Villa wanted to do, so she could only say what she knew, "In fact, in addition to the few of you, there are two detectives who have just arrived - a young lady and a high school student. They went to put their luggage and will be down soon." She hinted that when everyone arrived, the smart detectives could guess what was going on. Don't ask her any more questions...
