Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 595 Bloody Night

   The host paused for a while and continued:

"Except for the tableware, every door, floor, armrest, and even the pattern of chess and the pictures on the playing cards are out-of-print treasures custom-made by the Karasuma family. Forty years ago, in this exquisite building In the custom-made annex, a horrific massacre took place - I believe you have already discovered that this annex is covered with bloodstains. This is the trace of that **** night 40 years ago.

   "At that time, celebrities from all walks of life in the political and economic circles were gathered. Everyone gathered in this annex and held a memorial service for Karasuma Renya, who passed away at the age of 99.

   "But in fact, this was a secret auction, and the auction items were all precious works of art collected by Karasuma Renye during his lifetime. At that time, there were more than 300 items in the auction, and the entire auction was booked for three days.

"However, on the second night, on a stormy night, two men who were drenched in the rain suddenly came to this annex. The two claimed to be lost in the mountains and asked to stay overnight. The host originally wanted to refuse, But after smoking what looked like cigarettes they stuffed, they changed their minds and allowed them in."

   Amuro Toru: "..."... something like a cigarette?

  Although I haven't heard the follow-up yet, the host's sudden change of attitude and the context of the words seem to imply that this thing is not simple... Could it be drugs?

  Amuro suddenly remembered those strange "cigarette-like things" on Jiang Xia's body, and glanced at "Jiang Xia".

   However, according to his previous tests, Jiangxia's cigarettes seem to be just some ordinary plant powders, and they are not addictive. The technician who helped him test said it might be something like essential oils used to refresh the mind.

   "Jiang Xia" did not notice the gaze from Amuro Toru.

  Because at this time, when he heard "things like cigarettes", he also remembered something, looked out the window, and was a little puzzled.

  ——Speaking of which, why did Wutiango like the pack of cigarettes on Jiang Xia so much? Before he was in the woods, before he could take a closer look, the cigarette was taken away by the foggy dog... Kidd recalled carefully and found that he had met Jiang Xia who had just smoked at the crime scene before. At that time, The smell on Jiang Xia's body is indeed different from ordinary cigarettes.

  ...Tsk, Jiang Xia must be forced to help the scumbag boss to sell drugs. Or too much pressure and went astray with these things to decompress?

   Thinking of this, "Jiang Xia" couldn't help but glance at An Shitou.

Beside   , Zhen Jiangxia supported his head and watched the reaction of the two people: "..."

  ...I feel like a strange pot is flying around in the air.

  However, what does the affair between Bourbon and "Kid the Phantom Thief dressed as Jiangxia" have anything to do with him Uzo...

   was silently watching and eating melons. At this moment, Amuro Toru seemed to notice some kind of stare like watching a play, and suddenly glanced at Zhen Jiangxia.

   Then he seemed to remember something, his eyes lowered slightly, and he looked at Jiang Xia's cigarette pocket.

   Jiang Xia: "..."

  ... This undercover agent is too sensitive to sight.

  He picked up the teacup and took a sip, pretending nothing happened.

   At the same time, I thought boringly, it's time to drive the "Uzo" vest and go to buy some real cigarettes in the open.

At that time, if the clerk asks him to show his ID again, he can inadvertently flick his adult ID on the table and unblock the tobacco and alcohol places... When he buys cigarettes, he will mix a little bit of unobservable cigarettes into them. Thin Ghost Mint. In this way, it can not only satisfy Songtian's small hobby of smoking, but also add a mysterious and mature filter to himself with the smoke special effect, and it will not waste too much ghost mint, and the smell will not be the same as the smoke on Jiang Xia's body...

  Unfortunately this time, I was short of time and didn't have time to prepare cigarettes. And in this case, it's not very convenient to smoke...

   Next time you play, you must bring your props with you.

   Jiang Xia nodded secretly in his heart.

  …

   The "host" who tells the story, after all, is just a machine and cannot see the small movements of the guests.

He continued to tell the **** story: "Other guests also got the traveler's 'cigarettes' one after another, and thick smoke began to fill the venue. After a while, some people started screaming like hell, leaving their own The target artworks rushed outwards; some people were like begging for someone's forgiveness, tears welling up in their eyes and couldn't stop no matter what; some people were excitedly holding a pen and kept stabbing their wrists...

   "At the end, all the guests began to frantically **** the artworks, and even picked up the famous knives and swords from the auction and slashed each other. The whole annex became hell.

   "After a night like a nightmare, there were eight more deceased people and more than a dozen comatose guests at the auction.

   "And those two travelers who lost their way on the stormy night, with a lot of art, lost their whereabouts."

   After the "host" finished speaking, he stopped for a while.

  The detectives digested this untrue story, and the hall fell silent.

  The maid looked at the timetable and started serving tea according to the meal time.

  In the gurgle of the tea liquid filling the porcelain cup, the host's malicious voice sounded again:

   "If you don't have a clue, you can try to repeat the tragic tragedy 40 years ago - tonight, there can only be one guest leaving the castle, let me see the ugly state of you killing each other.

   "However, searching for treasure in such a large villa is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Here's a little tip for you--

  "'The night when the two travelers looked up at the sky, the devil descended on the castle; the king fled with his treasure, the princess shed tears on the Holy Grail, begging for forgiveness, the soldier slashed himself with his sword, and blood stained the earth.'

   "...Hehe, although it's just a reminder, I think it can also be used to predict what's going to happen in this annex."

Jiang Xia took a sip of tea and was a little distracted: If the "prophecy" came true, and the massacre started here tonight, the detectives would definitely take a lot of murderousness, and maybe even lose a few ghosts... However, from a rational point of view, the detectives probably There is no such thing as "mutual killing" at all.

  ... However, referring to Conan, the detectives in this world seem to have the potential to be playful. If they followed the wishes of the "host" and staged massacres seriously, might they really produce some murderous aura?

  Jiang Xia remembered that when he was invited to watch on the set, he had heard some murderous intent from the senior actors - when they entered the play, those old actors really wanted to kill the target.

It's a pity that similar scenes don't always exist. There are only a few famous actors who can produce murderous aura, and most of them are one-offs-either they were killed suddenly, or they were killed suddenly, and then they were arrested. Quickly change to the scene...
