Moreover, there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions later.
The only pity is that Conan and his friends just had nothing better to do, so they checked the ownership of the Dusk Villa, and they found out that he is the owner of the Dusk Villa. It seems that he can't use Baileys' vest to cause trouble.
It’s a pity for Conan’s emotional value... But when he thought of the golden walls of the Dusk Villa, all Chu Ming’s heartache and reluctance disappeared.
My Golden Annex!!! I will come to see you tomorrow!!!
(づ￣3￣)づ╭?～
Chapter 278 Although I didn’t get wet in the rain, I still want to tear up your umbrella
The next morning, Kogoro Mori took a group of people to rent a car.
Kid, pretending to be a receptionist, handed the car rental order to Kogoro Mouri. Ever since he knew that someone was impersonating him and gathered a group of detectives in his name, Kid felt that if he didn't go, wouldn't he be thrown dirty water without knowing it?
After watching Maori Kogoro get on the car, Kid saw Conan quietly leaning over from the back seat, and he reached out and greeted him with a smile on his face. Conan silently retracted his head, and before Kid could retract his smile, he saw another head leaning out of the car window and smiling at him.
Isn’t this the guy with high fighting power at the magician’s party that day? Kidd treated him equally and waved to him with a smile.
Looking at the vindictive smile, Chu Ming clicked on the system's focus list and saw the big words "Kuroba Kaito" in the list.
The system is really an anti-disguise magic weapon. Chu Ming had already added focus to several disguise masters in Ming Ke and added notes. Whenever they get close, you can recognize who they are just by looking at the focus. It is convenient and simple. Mom is no longer afraid that I will be cheated.
The car drove onto the highway, Xiaolan took the map and carefully confirmed the route.
After sitting quietly for a while, Chu Ming felt bored. He took out a deck of cards from his pocket, patted the dazed Conan and Xiaolan who was holding the map, and shook the cards in his hand.
"The car ride is too boring, let's play cards~"
Kogoro Mouri gritted his teeth in anger. Damn it! I worked so hard to drive, and you guys are playing cards?
Conan and Xiaolan looked at Kogoro Mouri, who was smoking a cigarette with a depressed look on his face. They felt a pang of guilt, but they happily accepted Chu Ming's invitation.
After all, it's really boring to sit in the car all the time...
……
"Royal bomb!" Xiaolan threw down the last two cards excitedly, smiling, "I win again!"
"..." Chu Ming and Conan looked at each other, looked at the notes stuck on their faces, and then looked at the only two or three notes on Xiaolan's face.
With just these two or three pieces of paper, Chu Ming and Conan, the two unscrupulous guys, won by relying on Xiaolan's innocence and secretly sharing what they had with her.
So why is Xiaolan's luck so amazing!!!
"Let's stop playing. We've already gotten off the highway. The uncle must be tired after driving all morning. Let's go see if there's anything to eat nearby."
Seeing that only paper would be left on his face if he continued to stick it on, Chu Ming decisively stopped playing cards with the European Emperor.
After dinner, we continued on the road and drove until the sun set. The sky was gradually getting dark. We drove onto a winding mountain road and there was no one around.
When Chu Ming was using the sleeping Conan as a pillow and closing his eyes to rest, suddenly there was a sound of a tire burst and the car shook violently several times. Maori Kogoro quickly released the accelerator and slowly slowed down to stop the car.
Hmm? As expected of Kogoro Mouri, his car breaks down nine out of ten times every time he goes out. He is indeed the nightmare of car rental companies - a vehicle killer.
The sleeping people also woke up. Conan rubbed his arm which was inexplicably numb and said, "Uncle, what's wrong?"
"Conan, can you help me see if the tire over there is broken?" Kogoro Mouri reached out and turned on the lights inside the car.
"The tires here are flat, it looks like they have a blowout." Conan leaned out and took a look.
"I'm so unlucky. I'm so tired that I still have to change the tire - er, there's no spare tire??? Damn it! This car rental company is really cutting corners!"
Chu Ming pointed to a gas station in the distance and said, "Uncle, there is a gas station over there, do you want to go and have a look?"
Shun Shun went to see Kidd who had been waiting in the gas station for a long time. He probably had the cause of the flat tire.
Kogoro Mori is in danger.
Sure enough, the person who returned with the spare tire not long after was actually Kid, who was disguised as Kogoro Mouri.
Alas, Sonoko must be very envious of the car driven by Kaito Kid - uh, could he be driving without a license?
Help, let me out of the car!!!
The car was bumping along the muddy road for most of the day. Chu Ming felt like he was about to fall apart when he finally drove onto a normal road.
"Brother Chu Ming, I saw that villa. Look, it looks so gloomy..." Conan lay on the window and looked into the distance.
Kidd still had the energy to glance at it while driving: "Indeed, I think we should stop calling it the Twilight Annex and just call it the Vampire Annex."
Chu Ming slapped his seat with his palm: "Uncle, pay attention to the road! Don't look around while driving! It's very dangerous, four lives in one car!"
"Brat, my driving skills are absolutely fine! Besides, what could be on this deserted road? A troll?" Kidd gritted his teeth and roared.
"Yes, if you don't brake, the mountain demon will be hit to death by you..." Chu Ming reminded him quietly.
Kidd stepped on the brakes immediately, and looking at the terrifying Chikan Kyoudai in the headlights, he shrank back and almost scared himself out of his wits: "!!!! There really is... a mountain demon?"
"It's really rude to talk like that to a woman you meet for the first time." Qianjian spoke slowly.
Chu Ming stuck his head out and said, "But, your way of stopping a car doesn't seem very polite to anyone... Including yourself. Who would stand in the middle of the road to stop a car? What if the uncle doesn't react?"
After being pressed by Chu Ming, Qian Jianjiangdai remained calm and said, "I'm sorry, but you probably can't see me if I stand on the roadside in this weather. The main reason is that my precious Fiat suddenly stopped starting just now, so I waited for someone to pass by and give me a ride. You should also be going to the Dusk Villa, right?"
My goodness, you want to find someone to give you a ride so that your car can escape the disaster? Impossible! Don't even think about it.
Chu Ming said decisively: "Old lady, our car is full, but I have repaired cars before, I can help you check if there is any problem with your car, don't worry, I am a professional."
Qianjian Jiangdai's mouth twitched: "Uh... this..."
Chu Ming got out of the car decisively: "Don't be polite with me, I'm just repairing the car. I think the spark plug cap is broken, and it's raining, so it can't start. I'll help you check it out, it will be fixed in a moment."
【_(:з」∠)_ I made this up. I really don’t know much about cars】
Five minutes later, facing the starting car, Qianjian Jiangdai had cursed countless times in his heart, but his face was still full of smiles. He thanked Chu Ming for his help, and then parked the car in front of the villa with a bleeding heart.
Chapter 279 Overturning the table
It was raining heavily at this time. Chu Ming held an umbrella and enthusiastically went over to help Qian Jianjiangdai carry the luggage inside, leaving her no room to regret.
Kidd was walking along with them, but when he saw the luxury cars parked at the door, he didn't even bother to hold an umbrella. He walked forward with shining eyes to admire them carefully. Especially when he saw an Alpaca Romeo, he almost stuck his whole body to the hood of the car.
Chu Ming was standing under the eaves at the door. He turned around and saw the car owner asking him to stay away from his beloved wife.
Alas, did you know that your beloved wife will be buried in the sea of fire tonight...
Without looking at the detectives behind him, Chu Ming patted the wrinkles of his clothes, raised his chin slightly, and pushed the door open. The maid who was about to open the door heard the noise and was startled.
She bowed quickly: "Welcome, uh - you... please come in."
When she applied for the position of maid, the employer only showed her photos of a few detectives, so she didn't know how to greet Chu Ming.
Chu Ming walked into the gate and looked at the luxurious but old facilities inside. He glanced around. Is this the boss’s former residence?
The house was covered with blood stains, including on the door handle, on the stair railings, on the carpet underfoot, and everywhere in the villa.
This villa has been sold countless times. Didn't any of the previous buyers want to clean it up and live in it themselves? Or are all of them after the legendary treasure left by Karasuma Renya?
While Chu Ming was touring around, several detectives had already gathered. After boasting to each other about their achievements, they began to have fun in the villa while waiting for dinner.
Hakuba Tan and Mogi Harushi each took a pool cue to play table tennis, Chima Kyouyo and Kid, disguised as Mori Kogoro, sat on the side playing chess, and Xiaolan became interested in playing cards in the car. She originally wanted to drag Chu Ming and Conan to play a few more games, but Chu Ming felt uncomfortable and politely declined Xiaolan's invitation, so now it is Gunda Ikumi who is playing with them.
Xiaolan threw down her last straight and smiled: "I won again~"
Chu Ming supported his chin and watched Xiaolan beat two people alone. He shook his head. He knew it was like this. No matter how good at counting cards, it couldn't beat the luck of the European Emperor.
Just at this moment, the maid came over and said that it was time to go to dinner. The detectives all said they wanted to see who had brought them together.
Chu Ming did not reveal for the time being that he was the owner of this villa, but just followed the crowd and walked towards the restaurant.
The door of the restaurant opened, and everyone looked at the hooded man sitting at the main seat, and couldn't help but sneer: "You gathered so many of us together, but you are hiding your head and showing your tail. Isn't this bad?"
But the man remained unmoved and continued to speak his lines, saying that he had spent a huge amount of money and even went into gambling debts to finally buy this villa just for the legendary treasure in the villa. He needed detectives to help him find the treasure, otherwise he would never be able to leave here.
Bought the villa? Conan looked at Chu Ming in confusion. When he checked yesterday, the owner of the villa was clearly Brother Chu Ming...
As soon as the man finished speaking, a violent explosion occurred outside the door. All the cars were swept by the bomb in an instant, including the wooden bridge they had just driven over. The man also said that there was no signal here and the phone could not be dialed. This place was truly an isolated island.
Chu Ming had walked up to the man without him noticing, and poked him with his finger: "Then you can't leave by yourself, right?"
Under Chu Ming's force, the hooded man fell to the ground with a thud, revealing his plastic skin. It turned out that he was a dummy equipped with a loudspeaker.
Maori Kogoro pounded the table: "Damn it, who is going too far?"
The other detectives looked at him in surprise, which made him feel uneasy.
"What, what's wrong?"
Gunda Ikumi propped up her head and said, "How could the famous Detective Mori fail to figure out this mystery?"
Several detectives talked one after another, breaking down the code on the invitation letter and explaining it to Kogoro Mouri who had accidentally entered a high-end bureau, just like a group of local academic masters explaining questions to poor students.
"...His gorgeous technique is like an illusion."
"With voices and faces as numerous as the stars..."
"A genius criminal who plays with the police to his heart's content..."
"It amazed all of us detectives..."
"The only thing that can confuse our minds..."
"A white cape that can do anything..."
"——Kaito Kidd!"
Looking at several people praising him to the skies, Kidd almost couldn't keep his poker face and laughed out loud.
Kidd: Stop praising me. If you can speak, just publish a book.
After the meal, everyone praised the cooking skills of the food detective Da Shanzhu.
After dinner, the dummy began to tell everyone the story that happened in this house, that is, the past of Karasuma Renya.
Forty years ago, this annex once gathered countless political and business celebrities. On the surface, it was to pay tribute to Karasuma Renya who passed away at the age of 99, but in fact it was to auction the artworks he left behind. At night, two strangers wearing black hoods knocked on the door in the storm, and finally used drugs to make everyone kill each other, and took away all the artworks...
As the mannequin began to narrate in a low voice, Chu Ming seemed to be listening attentively, but his mind had already flown away.
It is known that Karasuma Renya is not dead, but has founded a distillery. So could the person who knocked on the door be someone sent by the organization? Forty years ago, Gin should not have been born yet, so he probably doesn't know about this, but Rum must know. Should I go back and ask him? Or should I ask the boss and exchange gossip?
Chu Ming pinched his chin. Why not just ask Pisco? He was also an old man who had followed the BOSS all the way. Chu Ming had helped him when he was doing the task before. He thanked Chu Ming and said that he could find him anytime if he had any problem.
"Ah——" Haruki Mogi suddenly stood up and grabbed his own neck, looking like he was poisoned.
