Kaito Kid, ever the lackey, ran forward and opened the car door.
Chi Chufeng looked at him with a puzzled expression, then got into the car.
Kaito Kid got into the driver's seat, and the others exchanged glances before squeezing into the back.
As Harufumi Mogi, who was at the back of the line, was about to board the bus, he suddenly shuddered.
A dark figure darted out from behind him and instantly disappeared into the dense forest.
The fish that slipped through the net were of no concern to Chi Chufeng.
The group of people got into a car and headed down the mountain.
The dark shadow flew day and night until it finally arrived at a secluded place.
It came up to a figure and crawled into the body of the crow in front of him.
The crow's eyes were red, and it cawed at the figure in front of it, seemingly saying something, its tone still very unfriendly.
The figure frowned and spoke in an aged voice.
"Really? He actually did something like that, that's... amazing!"
He suddenly swung the iron staff in his hand and struck the crow heavily.
With a soft thud, the crow was smashed into a pile of minced meat.
A wisp of black mist burst out from the minced meat and flew towards the door.
But its body seemed to be bound by a taut thread, and it involuntarily flew into the man's hand.
Nourishing.
A soft sound.
The black fog disappeared.
The dark figure took a deep breath.
"This is... wonderful!"
On the way back to the city, Chima Kōdai found a notebook in the leather bag left by her father.
At the detectives' request, she read it aloud.
"I received an invitation from the wealthy Karasuma Renya to come to a place called Twilight Villa to help him find the treasure left by his mother in the villa. Other talented and wise people from other fields were also invited."
“Karasuma Renya summoned us to his villa. He was a centenarian who was in a wheelchair and needed servants to take care of him at all times.”
"Karasuma Renya announced to us the riddle left by his mother, a series of coded messages: Two travelers in a hurry, looking up at the sky that night... the earth changes color."
"As expected of one of Japan's richest men, even with a large number of people coming, he still provides a considerable sum of money as compensation to all of us who were invited every day."
"I have no worries about food and clothing here, and I even have servants to take care of me. I'm not kidding, I would like to stay here forever."
"The only unpleasant thing is that there are many crows in the forest surrounding the villa, and they caw loudly every night, which is quite annoying."
"The progress in cracking the code is extremely slow; compared to half a month ago, there has been virtually no progress."
"But those of us who were invited are quite happy to be here. Under the current circumstances, it's not easy to find a job with a stable income. Nobody wants to end the work of cracking the code too soon and lose this hard-won job."
"Karasuma Renya summoned us for the second time, and his health seemed worse than when we met last month. He asked us about the progress of the code-breaking, and we were all speechless."
"As if anticipating this situation, Karasuma Renya brought more than a dozen burly men in black this time compared to the last time they met."
Karasuma Renya's finger slid over our heads, seemingly randomly pointing to a linguist, who was then led away by two men in black.
"Under pressure from Karasuma Renya, the remaining scholars had no choice but to begin deciphering the code. So did I. The code could refer to too much, and many days had passed, yet we still made no progress."
.. 0 .......
“I wrote to my friend about my experiences and situation here. When he learned of my experience, he jokingly said that he would also put a mystery in his own blue castle for future generations to solve. That’s true romance.”
"However, I can sense that everything happening at the Twilight Villa has nothing to do with romance."
"Karasuma Renya summoned us on time to inquire about the progress of cracking the code. Compared to when we met last month, his health seemed worse; he was coughing incessantly and seemed on the verge of passing away at any moment."
This time, he was accompanied by even more men in black. After learning that our code-breaking efforts were still stalled, he directly ordered five people to be taken away.
"The remaining scholars planned to protest this inhumane act to Karasuma Renya, but more men in black suddenly moved into the Twilight Villa. They were armed, and we dared not resist."
"The Twilight Villa went from paradise to hell in an instant. The pressure to survive forced us to do everything we could to decipher the code so we could leave unharmed and reunite with our families."
Chapter 486 I heard that the master likes to keep mistresses in a golden house.
"Under immense psychological pressure, I learned to smoke from my fellow scholars, hoping it would relieve my stress. I had never smoked before."
“But smoking did not improve the situation; in fact, my physical and mental condition got worse.”
"The tone of Twilight Villa has changed from joy and leisure two months ago to sorrow and fear, which stems from irreversible despair."
"I no longer use a slingshot to drive away those crows, because their cries seem to have become a rare lullaby in the quiet of the night."
"Listen, ooh-wah, ooh-wah. How beautiful it is!"
"In the midst of desperation, someone finally uncovered the mystery: after the restaurant clock was adjusted, the fountain in the courtyard revealed steps leading underground."
"At that time, we thought we were finally saved, but suddenly, countless crows flew into the building. They attacked humans frantically, and many people had their flesh pecked off by the crows, turning them into skeletons. Even the man in black was no exception."
"At this moment, Karasuma Renya arrived. He did something, like chanting some kind of spell, and all the crows flew away."
“We were scared and wanted to leave this terrifying place, but Karasuma Renya forced us to go underground at gunpoint. I don’t know what will happen, but I hope to come back alive and see my wife and daughter.”
The notes abruptly ended, with no further content following.
Silence fell over the car.
Everyone could foresee what would happen next.
The raven statue came to life and killed everyone.
But why would Karasuma Renya do this?
Has he gone mad? Is he courting death?
“Karasuma Renya is not dead,” Akatsuka suddenly said.
"What?" Everyone was surprised.
"He was already a hundred years old forty years ago, how could he still be alive now?"
"Perhaps he really did find the secret underground, the secret to immortality."
Chi Chufeng said calmly.
Back in Tokyo, everyone left one by one, and Chima Fuyuki also left after setting a date to collect her father's remains.
In the end, only Ikumi Yata remained.
Akatsuka Kaze moved to the driver's seat, and Gunda Ikumi sat next to him.
As he started the car, Chi Chufeng asked, "Where does Ms. Qiangtian live...?"
Before he could finish speaking, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.
A pair of nimble little hands were placed on his legs.
"Lord Akatsuki, I am in Tokyo and do not yet have a place to stay."
Chi Chufeng turned his head to look.
Ikumi Gunda's bright red, upturned lips resembled a blazing flame, and her eyes, like green cat's-eye stones, emitted an alluring light.
That mature aura, accompanied by the faint scent of tuberose emanating from her body, was truly alluring.
"Do you need me to recommend a hotel?"
Chi Chufeng asked deliberately.
Ikumi Gunda's lips curved into an alluring smile as she stretched, her top instantly tightening to reveal her beautiful curves.
"I've heard that Lord Chichu enjoys keeping mistresses in seclusion. I wonder if I'm qualified?"
Chi Chufeng asked curiously, "Why did Miss Gunda do this?"
Ikumi Gunda leaned forward, and beneath her body-hugging dress, a voluptuous, alluring curve appeared.
"After hearing such secrets and seeing such scenes, I don't think I can safely spend the rest of my life."
"If Karasuma Renya hadn't died, he would never have let those who knew his secrets go."
"Right now, the safest place is probably right next to Lord Chichu."
Chi Chufeng secretly praised him...
As expected, these detectives weren't fools.
However, Senma Kōdai had fulfilled her wish and was not afraid of death.
Even the illustrious Hakuba Saguru family wouldn't be afraid.
Needless to say, no one knows who Kaito Kid is.
As for Harufumi Mogi, he was probably already under control.
Therefore, the only one truly in danger is this Ikumi Yata.
