"Of course, Sufang Hongzi, she was once a famous singer known as the Oriental Canary!"
A woman wearing a green knitted jacket, a silk scarf around her neck, sunglasses and a sun hat was leaning against a street lamp and chuckling.
Seeing that Mao Li and the others were looking at her, the woman waved at them and said coolly: "Hello, my name is Nenotake Masayoshi! I'm a world traveler."
"Oh! She's a beautiful lady with a great figure..." Maori Kogoro's eyes lit up and he was about to step forward to greet her, "Hello, I'm Maori Kogoro! I'm doing detective work now!"
"Dad..." Mao Lilan sighed helplessly.
"Hey..."
After a few people talked, Sufang Hongzi's other guests began to arrive one after another.
They are: photographer Masanori Katagiri, baseball player Mamoru Matsudaira, and celebrity fortune teller Ryohara Nagata.
"strangeness……"
Xiaolan listened to her father and others chatting while opening the gate of the mansion and looking at her cell phone.
The person she was waiting for was naturally Si Yu.
After the cruise ship incident, Mao Lilan and Si Yu experienced some cases together. Although their communication was very normal on the surface, in private... she felt that she had become a bad kid.
She thought their relationship was very strange, but under Si Yu's alternating "rudeness" and "gentleness", she couldn't help but agree to his requests, agree with his views on herself, and couldn't help wanting to meet him. This invitation came from this.
But Si Yu had clearly promised her that he would come, but now he was not there...
"It's no use standing here and talking. Let's go inside and talk."
Photographer Masaki Katagiri rubbed his hands and took the initiative to suggest that it had just snowed recently and it was still very cold to stay outside the house.
"That's true, but..." Maori Kogoro nodded, scratched his head, and said, "Where do we go in? There are two entrances to this mansion."
"Crack!"
Just when others were equally confused, the door on the right opened and a short-haired maid walked out.
"We are very happy to welcome you all~."
"Ah, so the entrance is here." Kogoro Mouri smiled and was about to walk over.
"Crack!"
Before Maori could make any move, the door on the left was also opened, and an identical short-haired maid walked out.
"We are very happy to welcome you all~."
Chapter 088 Install a plug-in...!
Shimogase Minaho and Shimogase Honami are twin sisters and are also the maids in charge of Soho Akane's mansion.
According to them, Sufang Hongzi's biggest interest is collecting various masks. Her mansion is divided into two parts, the east and west wings, which are not connected to each other and are only connected by a "mask hall" in the middle.
Kogoro Mori and the other two were arranged to stay in the east wing, while the three celebrities and the traveling woman were arranged to stay in the west wing.
After entering the room, you can see all kinds of strange masks everywhere, placed anywhere in the room.
After putting down their things, everyone gathered in the mask room. After Conan accidentally pressed a strange button, he saw the so-called cursed mask.
To put it simply, there are 200 white masks made by a famous sculptor a long time ago. Because the maker committed suicide after making the masks, the scene was covered in blood and looked terrifying, so it was rumored to be a cursed mask.
——That is, the cursed mask.
During the conversation, several people also talked about the previous owners of the mask, all of whom died mysteriously, saying it was the curse of the mask... Katagiri Masaki believed it, and Soho Akako even said that she had asked a medium to seal the mask.
Conan was speechless after hearing this.
"But Ms. Sufang, the evil thoughts of humans in the real world may be more terrifying than any curse."
As Kogoro Maori spoke, he took out a threatening letter from his arms, which roughly said something like "You will definitely regret attending Sofang Hongzi's charity gala."
Starting with Kogoro Mori, others also said that they had received threatening letters...but the young man, Masayoshi Take, did not receive anything.
"Well... I didn't receive such a thing. Maybe it's because I just joined today and the person who delivered the letter didn't have time to prepare." Zhengyi pinched his chin and thought for a while, then said this.
Conan leaned against the cabinet and looked at Masayoshi Nakamura. He felt that this woman was very familiar, but she was wearing sunglasses and a sun hat, so he couldn't see who she was at all.
"I received something like that, too! But it looks like a child's prank, so immature."
A man's voice came from outside the door. Mao Lilan immediately turned around and saw a blond man wearing a black jacket and blue lining, walking in with a proud and elegant smile.
His name is Fuyuya Aikawa. He is the most famous rock singer now and an artist of Su Fanghong Company.
"Si... no..."
But even though he was a rock star, when Xiaolan saw him, her excitement turned into disappointment...but she quickly calmed down.
"Fuyuya, why are you so late?" Sufang Hongzi frowned slightly and said to Aichuan Fuyuya.
"I'm sorry, teacher. I'm currently on a national tour, so I'm a little late. Please don't mind it." Aichuan Fuyuya said with a smile and took out a letter.
Everyone opened it and saw that it was another letter cursing the mask, saying that the mask would suck human blood tonight... If this thing was placed in other places, it would of course be a second-year illness, but in Conan, it was a clear murder notice.
However, Sufang Hongzi herself obviously didn't care about such things.
"Those letters are just like what Touya said. There's no need to worry about them. They're just some cunning guys. Since I started doing charity work, I've never stopped receiving threats like this."
"Charity..." Zhengyi thought, but why would he be threatened for doing charity?
"..."
Just as "Justice" lowered her head to think, she didn't notice that someone was looking at her out of the corner of her eye. Her hand in her pocket touched a remote control and pressed it lightly.
"Beep." The button sounded silently.
"Well…"
Masayoshi Nentake, who was actually Yukiko Kudo in disguise, trembled immediately, cried out subconsciously, then quickly covered her mouth and turned her head to look around.
No one noticed her abnormality... No wonder everyone looked at her!
"Ms. Nenotake, your face is so red. Are you feeling unwell?" Baseball player Mamoru Matsudaira asked with a friendly smile.
"No... I'm fine." Yukiko shook her head and looked at Matsudaira Mamoru with some speculation in her eyes.
[Unknown user: First, madam, you are going to attend a small banquet. You need to find me among the people attending the banquet. The game deadline is when I leave naturally. During the process, you need to add a small plug-in to yourself. I have mailed it to you... As long as you guess who I am, I will never bother you again. Remember, you only have one chance. ]
The fact that Kudo Yukiko is here means that she agrees, and the game begins.
When she saw Kogoro Mori and his family appear, she was really surprised... She was terrified that her own son had seen through her.
"No, nothing. I just bit my tongue. Maybe I'm a little hungry."
Yukiko is an actress indeed, she quickly adapted to the intensity of the plug-in, her expression unchanged, and she responded half-jokingly.
……
……
Next, after listening to Yukiko's words, everyone naturally started eating.
During dinner, several people talked about the motive for the crime.
For example, the woman who had been taking care of Sufang Hongzi suddenly got into a hit-and-run accident, and she committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Coincidentally, the son of the dead woman was Ai Kawana Fuyuya.
For example, because of Sufang Hongzi's incident, the company took in many people who lost their families in car accidents.
For example, 20 years ago, Katagiri Masanori's wife also died in a car accident.
After the banquet, Soho Akako found Maori Kogoro alone.
"Mr. Maori, I would like you to help me investigate something."
"Ms. Su Fang, I understand that you want to investigate the source of these threatening letters, right?"
"No."
“Ah? Ahahaha…”
"Actually, what I want you to investigate is the accident that happened to Mr. Katagiri and his wife." Sufang Hongzi shook the red wine glass, a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said, "I'll give you 200 million yen after the matter is done. What do you think?"
"Two million! Ahem... Ms. Sufang, just leave it to me!" Kogoro Mori patted his chest happily and made a solemn promise.
After that, it is free time for guests.
Three men are playing pool.
Xiaolan was playing chess with Conan absentmindedly, looking at her cell phone from time to time.
The twin sisters were serving wine to the guests.
Tarot card reader Chang Liangyao is telling fortunes for Maori Kogoro.
"Mr. Maori, miracles are born out of crises. Your destiny is both great and small. Please proceed with caution."
Nagara Haruka hadn't drunk a drop of wine. He held the tarot cards in front of his chest with a normal expression and spoke thoughtfully.
"It's grand... Yeah, it's really grand..."
Kogoro Mouri's face was red and he reeked of alcohol. He was looking at the tarot cards with a chuckle.
"It's not just Miss Nagara who is here. Mr. Maori, would you like to talk to me more? Our company welcomes celebrities like Mr. Maori!"
The middle-aged woman wearing glasses, Sofang Hongzi's secretary, Inaba Kazuyo, also had a red face, and was bumping Maori Kogoro with her shoulder.
"Oh my! Hahaha, if we talk about grandeur, I think Miss Nenzhu is the most grandiose! Hahaha..."
"Dad! It's muddy!"
Chapter 089: Sense of Control and Sadism
Everyone has weaknesses. If you find their weaknesses, you can easily control them.
And weaknesses are nothing more than fame, wealth, love and fear. It is easy to understand from the literal meaning.
For example, Yukiko Kudo.
She is not after fame or fortune, and although she likes to be in the spotlight, it's only because she loves to have fun...Therefore, torturing her with a gun is really not as effective as torturing her relatives.
Yukiko Kudo’s weakness is naturally love.
Family, love, friendship...even sympathy.
For this reason, Kudo Yukiko allowed Si Yu to control her. Otherwise, even if a knife was pointed at her neck, she would not allow Si Yu to touch her, and would probably stab herself to death.
That's why Si Yu would use this method to erode her heart and make her degenerate little by little.
Of course Si Yu could also hypnotize directly, but he also preferred to play around.
Compared to doing anything directly to Kudo Yukiko, Si Yu enjoyed bullying and teasing her more... Just like a cat playing with mouse, it gave him a sense of control over Kudo Yukiko.
While playing, Si Yu did not forget his business. He had already asked people to "collect" all the police, public security, FBI, undercover agents and others who had appeared in the original work and might be considered as "red team" so that they could hold a peanut festival at any time.
By then, a few more martyrs' merits will be added, and the only change in the world will probably be that there will be more oil drums filled with cement in Tokyo Bay.
Back to the original topic.
It was because Si Yu liked to play and found Kudo Yukiko's weakness that she fell into this situation.
She wanted to guess who Si Yu was among these unfamiliar people.
Of course she was sure that Si Yu was there, because (abridged)
To be honest, if (deleted), even if there is numbness, there won’t be much feeling.
But Yukiko is different...
(Abridged)
Coupled with the constant adjustment and education during this period, she has become very sensitive, which makes her very sad.
But she just couldn't find out who the [Unknown User] was from these people...it couldn't be Kogoro Mouri, right?
night.
When Yukiko tossed and turned, because it was an old house with poor sound insulation, she could clearly hear footsteps and noise outside the door.
"What happened……"
"The Cursed Masked Waiter has appeared, and all the masks in the Mask Room have disappeared. Ms. Sufang is in danger, follow me!"
Yukiko was also assigned to the west wing. When she went out to check, she saw Kogoro Mouri running towards her, shouting and running upstairs.
When he came to her side, he grabbed Kudo Yukiko's arm in the dark and pulled her upstairs.
