Conan: I'm really not a model worker at a winery

Chapter 198 - Going to the Banquet
When Kogoro Mori saw the gloomy twilight annex, he blurted out his inner thoughts:

"This house looks really spooky. Instead of calling it the Twilight Villa, I think it's more appropriate to call it the Vampire Villa."

"vampire?!"

What Moli Kogoro said made Xiaolan shiver, "Why don't we go, Dad?"

Mori Kogoro glanced at Xiaolan speechlessly: "Huh? We're almost there."

"But, if there really are vampires..."

Xiaolan has experienced more and more incidents, and now she is more afraid of ghosts and the like.

"Don't worry, there can't be vampires in this kind of place, at most there are old monsters in the mountains."

Mori Kogoro said a comforting word that was not comforting at all.

Just after finishing speaking, Mori Kogoro squinted his eyes looking at the road ahead, "Huh?"

The one in front is...

someone!

Kogoro slammed on the brakes in fright.

Fortunately, the road was not very wet, and the car did not skid, but barely stopped a few centimeters in front of the person in the road.

However, Kogoro Mouri looked up and saw the old man holding an umbrella in front of the car window, and his soul was almost scared away: "Mountain, the old monster in the mountain!"

"...Isn't it too rude for you to address a woman you just met like that?"

Because the windows of the car were all open on one side, the voice of the old woman holding the umbrella could be heard in the car without hindrance.

Mori Kogoro came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly, "Yes, I'm sorry..."

"Grandma, why are you standing here?"

Conan poked his head out and asked an important point.

"Because my car suddenly couldn't start just now, so I waited here for others to pass by." The old man turned his head to give them a signal, and then walked to the window of the driver's seat, "You must also go to the Twilight Villa, right? How about a ride with me?"

"Ah? That's not a problem..."

"Oh, by the way, I still have luggage in the car, can you help me move it here too?"

"OK……"

"I'm sorry."

……

On the way to the Twilight Villa, they met the old woman who got into the car.

The other party's name is Sengen Koyo, a famous detective who once sat in an easy chair and could solve a case just by listening to others talk about it.

After knowing the other party's identity, Conan's little head became active.

If the sender is really that person... What is the purpose of calling the detective over?

……

Twilight Annex.

A line of expensive cars was neatly parked at the door.

After getting off the car, Xiaolan took the lead and ran into the villa with her luggage because she was in a hurry to go to the toilet.

And Mori Kogoro and Conan, plus Senjian Dyoyo who was just carried, also met another person.

A man who should have just arrived and was still smoking in the car: Motegi Haruhime, the same detective.

The other party was an acquaintance with Qianjian Jiangdai, and he choked out the cigarette as soon as he recognized Qianjian's mother-in-law.

——Qianjian Jiangdai doesn’t like other people smoking.

After entering the annex, they also saw Ogami Zhushan, who is known as a 'gourmet detective'.

This relatively plump middle-aged uncle was furious because the maid said that the chef could not come because of something, and then said that he would cook by himself.

The maid said that besides Mao Lilan and Conan, including Mori Kogoro, there are a total of six detectives gathered together.

In addition, the new maid also recounted her weird interview experience: there was no interviewer or guide, and the interview took place in a room upstairs with only a computer and files in it...

Then the other party was hired inexplicably. I haven't seen the 'master' side here, and the communication is through phone or email.

"Sounds really interesting."

Qianjian Jiangdai showed a smile, "I'm a little eager to try."

"Well... I became interested after seeing the strange marks on the doorknob." Motegi Haruhime shrugged.

Mao Lilan, who was returning to the team, turned her head when she heard the words, and she saw slanted traces inside the door, "Really, how did you do it?"

Mao Lilan also squatted down to take a closer look.

Motegi Haruki kindly reminded at this time:

"Be careful, little sister, this may be some historical blood."

Mao Lilan: "?!"

No way?
"Not only on the door, but also on the handrail, on the wall...there are traces of blood everywhere."

A young female detective, Guntian Ikumi, held a can of reagent spray and sprayed it on the armrest.

"Luminol reagent, I didn't expect you to bring this." On the stairs, a young man came down.

White Horse Detective, like Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji, is also a high school student detective.

What is more unusual is that he still has an eagle in his hand.

Probably wanting to compare himself to Sherlock Holmes, Tan Baima named his eagle friend Watson.

Except for Mori Kogoro and the others, everyone seems to have heard of the 'tragedy' of this villa...

Conan frowned tightly.

In this villa...what happened?
-

Next to the Twilight Annex.

In the forest, on a tree.

Gin held a magnifying glass and looked inside the annex through the gaps in the leaves.

He is now dressed in an old black windbreaker, with a top hat on his head and a small earphone in his ear.

[Master Blade, Conan is heading to the living room now. ]
Noah is broadcasting in real time in the headset.

As for the source of information, it is naturally Conan's omnipotent tracking glasses. The eavesdropping function on it has been completely occupied by Noah. With its own recording function, Noah can conduct reverse eavesdropping at any time.

The lights in the annex are all turned on now, as long as the angle is good, Gin can also take in everything in the villa.

However, what I just heard made Gin a little concerned:
"Noah, when we came here a few days ago...are there computers and surveillance?"

Gin was a little surprised by what the maid said just now, so he asked Noah to scan around the villa - Noah can easily access things that require network lines, such as computers and monitoring.

[Master Blade...maybe it was installed just a few days ago? ] Noah reasonably speculates.

"..."

Gin opened his mouth, almost wanting to ask how many days have passed between the day before yesterday and today.

Installing network cable and computer monitoring in a villa with only a telephone, or in a remote mountain where it takes an hour or two to get in and out, it doesn't look like it's just installed...

Forget it, it's nothing to worry about.

He is more curious now, who is the current owner of the Twilight Annex, because the unscrupulous boss has clearly said that the task of the owner of the Annex is to help take care of the interior and clean it regularly.

...Although some things can't be cleaned at all.

For example, the blood that can still be sprayed out by the luminol reagent.
