Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 202: The Villa at Dusk - The Dead

The dummy also got to the point at this time:
"I think everyone must be wondering why I would invite everyone to this villa that I spent a huge amount of money to buy and use this place as the stage... Now please take a look at the logo on the tableware."

Hearing this, everyone picked up the furniture at hand.

Whether it is knives and forks, bowls and plates, or teacups, there is a crow pattern on them.

"Yes, this is the family emblem of the Karasuma Renye family, a mysterious wealthy family that existed forty years ago!"

"Wow, Karasuma Ren?!" Kogoro Mori exclaimed.

The mannequin's voice continued: "Not only the tableware, but also the doors, handrails, floors, and even chess sets... were all specially customized for this adult."

“In other words, this is the villa of the Karasuma family… Of course, this has become history.

Because forty years ago, a brutal incident took place in this villa, which set off a bloody storm.

I believe that all the famous detectives must have noticed it when they stepped into this villa, right? "

When the dummy was speaking, everyone present had a different expression.

Such as Kogoro Mouri who looked a little dazed, Hakuba Tan who was thinking with his chin pulled, and Okami Zhushan who kept biting his thumb.

"Yes, this villa is full of bloodstains splattered from various angles, and the source of these traces can be traced back to that night forty years ago:
At that time, this annex gathered various political celebrities, nominally to mourn the death of Karasuma Renya at the age of 99, but in fact it was an auction for the art collected by this wealthy man during his lifetime...

Because there were more than 300 items to be auctioned, the auction was expected to last for three days and three nights. However, on the second day, during a thunderstorm, two wet men came... They said they were lost in the storm and hoped to stay in the villa.

The host was unwilling to agree at first, but after smoking a pack of cigarettes handed to him by the two men, he suddenly changed his mind and enthusiastically invited them into the house... After that, all the guests were bewitched by the two men, and the whole villa was filled with smoke. "

"This, could this be?"

The first thing everyone thought of was that there was something wrong with the cigarette.

Conan also lowered his head at this time, his eyes and brows were furrowed.

That thing, I'm afraid it's an addictive substance like marijuana...

……

Outside the villa.

Gin listened to the synthesized sound in his headphones and forced himself to control his facial expression.

What's the point of giving people cigarettes to smoke and misleading the organizer? You should have cut him off when you entered the door and asked clearly that the other person was the organizer, right?
There were also guests slashing each other with swords from the exhibits, and a woman begging for forgiveness, using a pen to injure herself...

It's all artistic processing for that puzzle, right?
The version he saw was that after receiving the order, the two organization members went into the mountains in the rain at night and eliminated the organizer and several people who were hosting the event.

Also dealt with were a few people who, in desperation, held on to the exhibits they had bought and refused to let go. The others were let off because the organization didn't want to do anything drastic because they were all well-known figures from various fields.

In the headphones, that voice was still embellishing and polishing the story.

Gin really wanted to go in and punch the organizer - why is he taking so long!

At this moment, Gin's cell phone rang again.

Just a few minutes ago, Vodka had just passed on the information he had found to him.

After seeing a string of garbled characters, Gin took a deep breath and answered the call under Chablis's gaze: "Boss, what can I do for you?"

"I have received the message from Vodka. Tell me the details of the situation on your side."

The synthesized voice of the unscrupulous boss is very low.

There was a voice in each ear, which really tested Gin's concentration.

"Yes, Boss." Gin and Chablis exchanged a glance. "The owner has not yet revealed his identity. He is just using the dummy and the loudspeaker to convey the message to those heading to the villa... The other party blew up the vehicles and the suspension bridge about half an hour ago. It seems that he wants to force those detectives to find the treasure."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment:
"In that case, there's no need to keep him."

The unscrupulous boss's meaning was very clear. Gin lowered his eyes: "Yes, boss... There is one more thing. The other party disclosed the incident of the annex without authorization."

"which one?"

Chablis, who was eavesdropping, also pricked up his ears.

"It was the auction forty years ago." Gin silently elbowed Chablis away from him.

There was another suspicious silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a suppressed and angry voice, even more hoarse:

"Solve them all!"

"……Yes."

Gin's eyelids twitched and he knew this would be the result.

There was no need for him to report this matter to the unscrupulous boss...but that damn Chablis was there!
If Gin hadn't mentioned the existence of the bug, what if after the incident was over, Chablis went crazy and captured someone to torture him about the specific situation in the annex, and then reported it to the unscrupulous boss. It would be very troublesome for the unscrupulous boss to send people to kill them one by one.

And Chablis knew that Gin was eavesdropping on what was going on in the annex. What if he caught someone and reported Gin for not reporting...

Anyway, no matter what you choose, the best way is to take the initiative.

At least, he still has Kidd as an insider in the annex.

"The problem is how to get the message to Kaito..."

After Gin hung up the phone, his mind raced.

Chabli was nearby the whole time, and he had no way of giving orders to Noah directly. He had to find a way to get the sniper signal out to Kaito, and preferably alert the police.

...If necessary, Gin was also prepared to sacrifice several other detectives.

At worst, he can burn a few more incense sticks during the Qingming Festival.

"You should have heard what the boss said, right?" Gin looked at Chablis and said lightly.

"Hmm...didn't hear clearly?"

Chablis frowned, but his body honestly took out his beloved 'Fini' from the box - an M21 sniper rifle.

Gin's eyes were cold, "To snipe everyone in the annex... you only brought one?"

Chabli paused for a moment, then smiled brightly: "Hey, yeah~ It looks like this mission is all up to me."

"Hmph, I hope you don't make a mistake...it will be troublesome if the police are attracted."

"Not at all, my friend! You should have faith in me..."

Gin snorted coldly, paused, and grinned: "Interesting, have you already started killing people?"

He took this opportunity to tap twice on the earphones.

"What's going on?" Chabli, who was about to find a sniper point, suddenly turned around.

"It's just imitating the tragic murder of that year."

Gin suppressed his sneer and paid attention to the movements in the annex.

"Watch out, they're planning on coming out to look at those cars."

"Hey! So fast? Wait a minute, I need to climb a tree..." Chabli suddenly became anxious.

He couldn't see the door at all from here!

Seeing that Chablis was still hesitating about choosing a tree, Gin wanted to snatch Chablis's "Fini" and do it himself.

...No, he has to stay calm, there are three friendly troops on the opposite side!
