"What are you arguing about? Don't you know it's already late?"
Kobayakawa Eko, who was late for the sex, yawned lazily. The wound on her face had been carefully treated. She walked into the room sleepily, and after seeing the bloody wound on Mori Nana's face, she couldn't help but scream. Her pupils shrank sharply, and she took a few steps back with a trembling voice, muttering:
"She is guilty, she is here for revenge..."
Gen Sugawa's ears twitched. He noticed that Mori Nana's expression became a little strange because of what Kobayakawa Eko said. He felt something strange in his heart. He watched silently as Kobayakawa Eko took a few steps back with a dull look in her eyes.
"So this is not possible, no, I will die, I want to quit, I want to quit!"
As if frightened by something, she left the room with a pale face and turned to run towards the corridor.
Qichuan Yuan was startled and shouted subconsciously: "Catch her!"
As soon as the words fell, several men standing at the door reacted quickly and ran out after Kobayakawa Eko.
However, within five seconds, the eerie sound of piano rang out in the corridor again, followed by a familiar sound of rapid footsteps and low, echoing conversations, men and women, intricate and confusing, as if whispering to drag people into hell.
The piano sounds seemed to imply an unknown thing, and everyone present couldn't help but shudder. They looked at each other and hurried downstairs together.
As if confirming their guess, the tragedy happened again, and when they quickly arrived, they saw Eto Hara, the painter and Yu Quan Yuanxin standing at the entrance of the stairs with stiff and terrified expressions, as if they were cast under a spell of freezing. Their pupils were almost shrunk into a tiny dot, and they were staring straight downstairs.
The people who followed had a bad feeling in their hearts. They followed the line of sight of the three people and looked downstairs. Their hearts stopped for a beat at the cruel scene. Kobayakawa Eko was lying in a pool of blood with a painful expression on her face. Her eyes were open and her mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to scream. But she was strangled in her throat. There was a deep wound in her throat, perhaps cutting an artery, and blood was gushing out.
Conan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was about to rush downstairs, but his collar was tightened and he was grabbed by Gen. Saikawa. He turned around anxiously, but before he could say the word "Sigawa", he saw Gen. Saikawa's mouth shape - organization.
The impulse in his brain was extinguished like cold water. Yes, the people from the organization are still here, and rushing in like this will definitely attract their attention.
Maori Kogoro rushed downstairs with a serious face, tried Kobayakawa Eko's neck, and shook his head solemnly: "It's hopeless."
"What?"
He ignored the exclamation from the athlete Yu Quanyuanxin and took on the posture of a detective, looking sternly at the three men who had arrived here in advance:
"Now please explain everything you just saw and how Miss Kobayakawa died."
Jiang Teng Yuansheng managed to keep calm. He said in a harsh voice: "I don't know. We didn't see anything. When we got here, she was already like this."
impossible!
Sugawa Gen held down Conan who was about to move and asked:
"But the difference between you two was only a few seconds. You couldn't have been unable to outrun a woman. You must have seen something, right?"
He looked at Yu Quanyuanxin, his tone puzzled but certain: "Right? There is no way that the Japanese sprint legend can't outrun a woman, right?"
Yu Quanyuanxin retracted the fear in his eyes and nodded awkwardly, "I saw it, it was those short-haired maids, they restrained Jiang Zi, and their movements were very fast. They disappeared in the blink of an eye, and I only saw the corners of their clothes."
"Don't you ever draft your words?"
Bermode snorted in an ambiguous tone.
Yu Quanyuanxin unconsciously clenched his fists and looked at Bermode fiercely: "What does Miss Bell mean?"
"Look at what you said. You only saw the hems of their clothes. How could you be sure that they were the maids and describe the scene so accurately?"
Vermouth covered his mouth in pretended surprise and looked at him curiously:
"Could this be the legendary superpower that can go back in time? That's amazing."
As if she wasn't angry enough, she even clapped her hands, being sarcastic to the extreme. Qichuan Yuan's eyelids were twitching. He looked at the bulging veins on Yu Quanyuanxin's forehead and quickly coughed a few times to attract his attention.
"Bell is right."
However, before Sugawa Gen could say anything, he was interrupted by Amuro Toru.
Sugawa Gen: ..
There's definitely more than just Vermouth here who's enjoying the excitement, but Toru Amuro is definitely just trying to make things difficult for him.
Amuro Toru glanced at the numb-faced Sugawa Gen, and the corners of his mouth turned up in an instant. He raised his face, nodded in agreement, and touched his chin, thinking: "Besides, is Mr. Yuquan Tonobu on good terms with Ms. Kobayakawa?"
"Why are you asking that?"
"Because I noticed that Mr. Yuquan Toshin called Miss Kobayakawa like this," Amuro Toru said with a mysterious smile, "Eko."
He was satisfied to see Yu Quanyuanxin's expression change drastically, and he waved his hands nonchalantly:
"I thought only close people would address each other like this. Of course, if this is Mr. Yu Quanyuanxin's personal habit, then forget it."
Yu Quanyuan nodded and said, "That's right, this is indeed my personal habit. I'm really sorry if I caused you to misunderstand me."
"There's nothing to apologize for, but..." Yu Quanyuanxin's heart, which had not yet settled down, was lifted up again. He looked at the black-haired young man in front of him who seemed to be trying hard to recall something.
"But I remember Mr. Yu Quanyuanxin once said in an interview that he was a very traditional person, right? Can such a deeply rooted concept be changed so easily?"
Conan poked his head out from behind Sugawa Gen, speaking innocently and with a curious expression, "Hey, I remember that the people who came to the exhibition didn't know each other, right?
Then why are Mr. Yuquan Toshin and Aunt Kobayakawa so close? "
Seeing Yuquan Yuanxin's increasingly horrified expression, Qichuan Yuan quickly pushed Conan back and stiffly changed the subject:
"But why did those maids want to kill Miss Kobayakawa?"
"I think it's because of what she said."
The person who answered was not someone present, but Mori Nana who had come into the living room at some point. She seemed to be just washing the wound casually. The flesh cut by the knife showed the whitening of hair follicles from being soaked in water for a long time, and a little blood was oozing out.
"She said, right? I want to quit. Maybe that's why she was killed."
That's indeed the case, Qichuan Yuan lowered his eyes. The brown-haired maid had also mentioned when she announced the rules of the game that the game cannot be quit.
Conan poked his head out again, tilted his head, and asked curiously:
"Oh, how did Big Sister know that?"
Sen Qina glanced at him and her expression turned a little ugly. She took a few steps back without leaving a trace and spoke in a cold tone, without any trace of the enthusiasm she had on the bus.
But this is normal. No one would be in the mood to play house with children after getting a scratch on their face.
But Sugawa Gen always felt that something was wrong.
He bit his lower lip, and the slight pain dispelled some of his sleepiness. It was the eyes. Mori Nana looked at Conan in a strange way.
It looked like fear, disgust, and a kind of creepy obsession - the same look he had on the bus.
Qichuan Yuan had seen this kind of eyes before and that person was a very scary, very scary madman.
Mori Nana looked at him quietly for a while, then suddenly smiled. This smile on the beautiful face of a beauty pageant champion would have been breathtakingly beautiful. But now on a face that looked like it had been tortured in hell, it looked like a devil.
"Little brother, do you want to know?"
"Well, I want to—"
"Because my face was disfigured in the same way."
Conan was stunned, then a light bulb went off in his head and he remembered.
Mori Nana continued, "Don't cooperate, and don't even think about quitting, or you'll lose your most precious thing."
"That woman said so."
"For me, the most precious thing is naturally my face."
"As a singer, what is the most precious thing to Eko Kobayakawa, besides her voice?"
Matsuda Jinpei frowned sharply, "No, if it's just a simple damage to the voice, it's not fatal."
Mori Nana looked at Matsuda Jinpei with the same eyes. Her sight wandered for a moment, and then trembled even more violently when it landed on Sugawa Gen. She lowered her eyes inexplicably, "Oh, really? Doesn't that mean that the most precious thing to her is her life? That's easy to understand."
Maori Kogoro frowned fiercely: "Damn it! If you say that, then the most precious thing for everyone here is not their own life?"
He punched the wall hard. "It's just a game, and we are invited guests. Are you kidding me?"
After a long silence, Hashiki Yu glanced at the corpse with a cold look and asked, "By the way, what is Kobayakawa's card?"
Yu Quanyuanxin's eyes turned red, and he shouted, "Are you still human? You only care about the cards after something like this happened?"
Hashiki Yutsu lightly sighed, "Brother, stop pretending. If you're afraid that I'll get the cards, just tell me. Don't use morality to pressure me. You obviously want to know too, don't you? Don't make yourself sound so noble, okay?"
Yu Quanyuanxin paused, turned his head angrily, and made a gesture to raise his hand to hit him.
"Hey, hey, hey, what time is it? If you want to fight, you have to choose the time, okay?"
Maori Kogoro stood between the two people with a headache. He looked at Sugawa Gen and said, "Kid, go see what cards Kobayakawa has on him."
However, the card had been taken by Huihara Ai at some point. She showed the card, "Aglaia, the goddess of light."
