Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

On the way to Huo Si's house, Dr. Ali followed behind the luxury car in a yellow Beetle. Except for Xiao Ai who was not interested in staying in the villa, Ayumi and the others followed.

Yuan Tai couldn't help drooling: "There should be a lot of delicious food later, right?"

"Yuantai," Mitsuhiko said angrily, "We didn't come here just to eat, okay?"

"However, it is said that there is a special event, I don't know what it will be, it's so mysterious..."

Dr. Ali, who was driving, was a little worried. He seemed to have heard something happened just now. If possible, he didn't want to bring the children here at all.

As long as I follow Gao Chenggong, there are few times when I am not involved in the incident, and I dare not ask Gao Cheng to be a nanny...

But... wait, is it because of Gao Cheng or Shinichi?

The Doctor scratched the bald top of his head.

"Really?" Inside the luxury car, Gao Cheng's expression was solemn, "Is the deceased who was crushed in half by the train the president Qinglong of Huosi Company?"

"Well, because Huosi Company put pressure on the media, no names were mentioned in the news."

The young Izawa Kentaro clasped his arms and explained: "It is said that it is related to the reputation of the company, but...in fact, shortly before the death of President Qinglong, the ancient magician displayed in the cabinet of the Karuizawa Villa of the Huosai family All the dolls were stolen, and on the day of the accident, one of the dolls was found in the villa..."

Izawa Kentaro's eyes were deep: "That doll was placed on the rails of President Qinglong's favorite railway model, just like the president's corpse that was wet by heavy rain, the doll was also wet by someone, and it was divided into two parts. part!"

"Because of this, do you think the death of President Qinglong was not an accident?"

"Yes, there is someone very important to me in Huosi's family, so I have always been very concerned about it. It was not a simple accident. This time I came here specially to find Xiaoqiao to understand the truth about President Qinglong's death..."

The Grape House, the luxury car, and the doctor's Beetle were parked on the side of the road one after the other.

The Grape House under the setting sun looks a bit weird, but if you don’t look at the well-kept courtyard around, you almost think it’s an abandoned villa, and there are crows resting on the roof, and their cries are penetrating.

Even if Gao Cheng saw it for the second time, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Compared with that lakeside villa, there are two completely conflicting styles. No wonder they sold that villa. The aesthetics of this Huosi family is really strange.

"Is this really the House of Grapes?" Mitsuhiko and the others got out of the car and walked to Gao Cheng, and looked at the villa with climbing vines everywhere on the outer wall, "Does the House of Grapes mean that there are many grape vines? "

Izawa Kentaro Chao Mitsuhiko smiled: "It may have meant that, but now there is another way of saying it. People here call it the cursed mansion, the House of Black Magic."

"Black magic? Is it because of the pronunciation of grapes?" Gao Cheng thought of Koizumi Hongzi's red magic, and his thoughts sank.

"You will know later."

Izawa Kentaro walked into the villa first, and Gao Cheng followed behind. He found that the villa was a little old, but it was still very stylish. The decoration inside the villa was similar to that of the Twilight Villa, and it was probably built in the same period.

"I heard that this villa was bought by President Qinglong five years ago, and it seems that it has not been repaired..."

"Oh, Izawa is here..." A man in a suit with burns on his face and cheeks passed the hall, noticed Kenjian Kobashi and Takanagi beside Kentaro Izawa, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Is this the famous detective Mr. Kido? A few days ago, I heard from Kaizaki and Xiaoqiao-kun that it's great to meet today. I'm the new president of the Hosai Group..."

"Hello," Gao Cheng stepped forward and shook hands with Huo Sixiao, and looked embarrassedly at Guang Yan and the others who were curiously looking around, "I'm afraid I will disturb you today..."

"It's nothing, it's an honor for Detective Kido to be our guest, but," Akatsuki Hosai glanced at Kentaro Izawa, "I'm afraid it's a waste of effort to invite you here, my father just fell asleep on the railroad tracks when he was drunk." It was just an unfortunate accident that something like that would happen..."

Before Gao Cheng could say anything, Huo Sixiao turned to Izawa Kentaro and asked, "How is it? Can we succeed this time?"

"No problem," Izawa blinked at Gaocheng, and smiled affirmatively in the face of Huo Sixiao's question, "Although it is in the deep mountains, this is Karuizawa, and the communication facilities are still guaranteed. As long as the The latest video conferencing system is installed in the president's office, which is the second head office of the Huosi Group, and all orders can be sent from here..."

"Really? That's really great," Huo Sixiao said happily, "I still have something to do, see you when the event starts."

"OK."

"Izawa," Gao Cheng looked at Huo Sixiao who was leaving, and asked more and more strangely, "What is that activity?"

"It's black magic," Izawa Kentaro explained, "Actually, this villa will hold a magic salon every full moon night, and I heard that there will be a new black magician coming tonight..."

"Black magician?"

Gao Cheng wanted to ask again, when a girl in a skirt who looked like a big sister next door came into the living room with tea.

"Welcome everyone to come to Huosi's house, let's have a cup of vanilla tea, it's just picked."

"Hoshiko," Izawa Kentaro saw that the girl immediately seemed to be a different person, without the previous heaviness, "I'll help!"

"Thank you," the girl said with a sweet smile, "The new teacher is coming soon, everyone sit down and eat some biscuits, and we will gather between the ceremony later."

"Between the ceremony?" Mitsuhiko surrounded the girl actively, "Big sister, is there any ceremony between the ceremony?"

The girl was very patient with the children, she nodded and smiled and said, "Well, everyone must be obedient later."

"it is good!"

Gao Cheng silently looked at the smiling girl and Kentaro Izawa, and while Dr. Ari was wiping his sweat to take care of the children, he asked Kenjian Xiaoqiao next to him, "Could that girl be Izawa?" The important person you are talking about? Are they dating?"

"I don't know too well," Xiaoqiao Xianjian said with a wry smile when he saw Fa Xiao who looked like an innocent big boy in front of the girl, "She is Huo Si Xingzi, the daughter of Huo Si's patriarch, and she is 28 years old."

"Izawa is only 17 years old, right?" Gao Cheng was a little speechless, and dared to be older for the age difference.

"But it's nothing surprising," Xiaoqiaoxian said with a strange smile, "President Xiao's young wife is only 17 years old..."

"The young wife of that middle-aged uncle just now?!"

"You'll see it later."

"Although it's hard for me to say anything as an outsider, it's easy for young and old wives to have property problems, right?"

Gao Cheng stood by the window and looked out.

Different from the exquisite and small villas by the lake, the Grape House is more like a manor, even larger than the Dusk Villa. In addition to the main house, the villa promenade also connects several buildings. In addition, there are several independent buildings beside the woods. buildings, one particular bungalow appears to be the so-called Ritual Room.

Black magic?

Gao Cheng tightened his fingers. He felt that after he figured out the secrets of the Huosai family, he might be able to solve the mystery of the death of President Qinglong. He must attend the ceremony later.

After eating dessert, Gao Cheng asked Dr. Ali to take care of the excited Mitsuhiko and the others, and followed the small bridge through the promenade to the ceremony room. The sky outside darkened unknowingly, and it was a little scary.

"President Qinglong has three adopted sons and daughters. In addition to President Xiao and Xingzi, there is also Huoji Jiuyao with a bad personality," Kentaro Izawa took the opportunity to explain while walking, "Although they are all suspects, all three of them have Alibi, President Akatsuki was at the head office in Tokyo on the day of the incident, Jiuyao was reading in the living room just now, and Xingzi was picking herbs in the garden..."

"Does that mean that all three of them have alibi?"

Gao Cheng thought of the stolen doll cursed by the Huosi family mentioned by Izawa. The doll died in the same way as President Qinglong.

"How many cursed dolls were stolen?"

"This..." Izawa said uncertainly, "I don't know very well, they are all puppets with some history, there should be quite a few."

Gao Cheng frowned.

The case of the Huosili family seemed a bit tricky, and it reminded him of the hell puppet master Gao Yuanyaoyi who had been at large. It seemed to be an incident within Jin Tianyi.

Maybe I need to ask Police Officer Megure about the case in Tokyo...

"Senior Kido," Izawa said with a worried expression, "If President Qinglong was really killed, the motive is likely to be property or something, so Hoshiko will be in danger..."

Gao Cheng came back to his senses: "Well, Izawa, are you dating?"

"No... no," Izawa said with a slightly red face, "it's normal for her to be the only one in this family, so I'm a little worried..."

"yes?"
