Gin doesn't want to work hard

"Ah!"

Da Shangzhushan, who was concentrating on preparing dinner, sneezed.

He rubbed his nose, looking slightly puzzled, wondering if he had caught a cold from being in the rain.

But soon, he shook his head, banishing these jumbled thoughts from his mind, and continued preparing dinner.

"I wonder how Senjen's preparations are going. Hopefully nothing will go wrong?"

……

At this moment, the detectives are sharing the information they already know.

"I had briefly visited a few places before."

Hakuba Saguru whistled, and soon an eagle flew down from the second floor and landed on his arm, which was covered by protective gear.

"In this villa, besides the bloodstains that can be seen everywhere, the most common thing is probably the hidden cameras in every corner."

"That's an eagle..." Ran Mouri was drawn to the suddenly appearing eagle, and then the next moment, she heard Hakuba Saguru's words.

"Bloodstains?!"

She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and cautiously turned her head to look around.

"A tragic incident once occurred in this villa, so it's not surprising that there are bloodstains left," Ikumi Gunta said dismissively.

"What really interests me are these ubiquitous cameras."

"The owner of this villa probably installed cameras everywhere except the bathroom."

"In other words, as long as we are still in this villa, our every move will be under surveillance."

"This is so uncomfortable..." Ran Mouri felt uneasy at the thought of someone constantly watching them.

She couldn't help but suggest it again.

"Dad, why don't we go back?"

Just as Kogoro Mouri was about to say something, he was interrupted by the suddenly opened door.

"Click!"

Harufumi Mogi and his maid appeared before everyone.

The detectives didn't seem surprised by this.

Hakuba Saguru even took the initiative to ask him about his gains outside.

"So, have you discovered anything?"

Motegi Haruka shrugged.

"That guy seemed determined to be a coward. I drove the car all the way to the suspension bridge, and no one came out to stop me."

“Oh, this sweetheart doesn’t count.” Harufumi Mogi winked at the maid.

"Mr. Mogi!" The maid blushed slightly.

"Please don't joke around. It's my job to entertain you and have you stay for the dinner."

"Is that so?" Mogi Harufumi suddenly leaned closer to the maid.

"Then why don't you tell me who exactly hired you?"

The maid shook her head.

"I'm sorry, I don't know that either."

"Because I've never actually seen the boss in person."

"The interview was conducted entirely through a computer, and I was hired without even realizing it."

"We also communicated some details about the work via email."

"However, the boss attaches great importance to this dinner."

"He might show up at dinner."

After hearing the maid's words, everyone present fell into deep thought once again.

“In that case, I’ll stay and take a look,” said Senma Kōdai, expressing her opinion first.

"Ah, since Sister Senjō has said so, then I'll stay as well."

"However, this mysterious style, and the fact that he doesn't show up until the very last moment, does really resemble that guy."

Motegi Haruka has something to say.

"That guy..." Hakuba Saguru pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Whether it's him or not, since he's using that name, I won't give up easily."

"Besides, I'm also very interested in the secrets hidden in this villa."

Ikumi Gunda nodded in agreement.

Now, only Kogoro Mouri and his group remain who haven't made a statement.

"Dad..." Ran Mouri still wanted to leave directly.

Conan, on the other hand, seemed eager to try, clearly wanting to stay.

Kurosawa's face was expressionless, seemingly having no opinion on whether to stay or leave.

"Kogoro Mouri" muttered to himself as he watched everyone choose to stay.

"We're determined to stay here!"

"Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I said I was leaving now?"

Harufumi Mogi chuckled.

"If you want to leave, then go ahead. We won't laugh at you."

"'The Sleeping Kogoro Mouri'~"

He said he wouldn't laugh, but his tone sounded particularly awkward.

Kogoro Mouri froze, then loudly retorted.

"Who said I was leaving?"

"It's just staying for dinner, isn't it? A piece of cake for a master detective like me!"

"Alright, now that you've all made your decision, please follow me."

The maid spoke up at the opportune moment.

"I will take you to your respective rooms."

……

I'm sleepy, just one chapter.

Chapter 278.

Once inside the room, the feeling of being spied on lessened considerably.

Kurosawa glanced around and noticed that the only relatively hidden camera in the entire room was located near the door.

It was hidden among a pile of ornaments and was hard to spot without careful observation.

Although I was still being watched, at least I didn't feel like I was being spied on from all angles like before.

Moreover, even if a single camera can rotate at multiple angles, there will still be areas in the room that it cannot cover.

For Kurosawa, finding such a place was not difficult.

However, hiding in a corner is not Kurosawa's style, and besides, doing so wouldn't solve the problem.

Kurosawa stared at the camera for a while, then walked towards it.

"Kurosawa-kun?"

Conan noticed Kurosawa's actions and called out in slight confusion.

Following Kurosawa's gaze, Kogoro Mouri spotted the hidden camera.

His face darkened, and he angrily followed Kurosawa.

"Kurosawa-nii? Dad?"

Ran Mouri watched the two of them in surprise.

Kurosawa stopped directly below the camera and looked up.

Kogoro Mouri also came to his side and, after careful observation, confirmed that the camera was working.

"hateful!"

He cursed and turned to look for something to stand on.

Whether he covers it up or removes it directly, he will keep himself under constant surveillance.

Kurosawa's actions were more direct.

While Kogoro Mouri was still looking for something to stand on, Kurosawa had already gotten to it.

He casually tore a small ornament off the wall, tossed it in his hand, aimed it at the camera, and threw it forcefully.

"Bang... Crack... Snap!"

The sounds of jewelry colliding with the camera, the camera breaking, and jewelry hitting the ground came one after another.

The feeling of being spied on finally disappeared, and Kurosawa withdrew his gaze and relaxed.

The detectives in the other rooms reacted in much the same way.

When a camera is discovered in a room, almost everyone chooses to destroy or disable it.

Apart from the thousand-man descendant.

She went directly to the kitchen to find Da Shang Zhu Shan.

"How did you come?"

Oogami Shuzen was clearly surprised by Senma Kōdai's sudden visit.
