Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 595 Bloody Night

The host paused for a moment, then continued:
"Except for the tableware, every door, floor, handrail, even the patterns of chess and the pictures on the playing cards here are out-of-print treasures that the Karasuma family invited someone to customize. And 40 years ago, in this exquisite custom-made In the annex, a tragic massacre took place - I believe you have already discovered that the annex is covered with blood everywhere. This is the trace left by that bloody night 40 years ago.

"At that time, celebrities from all walks of life in the political and economic circles were gathered. They gathered in this annex building and held a memorial service for Renye Karasuma who passed away at the age of 99.

"But in fact, this is a secret auction, and the items are all precious works of art collected by Renye Karasuma during his lifetime. At that time, there were more than 300 items in the auction, and the entire auction was booked for three days.

"However, on the second night, on a stormy night, two men who were drenched in the rain suddenly came to this villa. The two claimed to be lost in the mountains and asked to stay overnight. The organizer originally wanted to refuse, But after smoking what looked like cigarettes they had stuffed in, they changed their minds and allowed them in."

Toru Amuro: "..."...something like cigarettes?

Although I haven't heard the follow-up yet, the host's sudden change of attitude and the context of the words seem to imply that this thing is not simple... Could it be drugs?

Amuro Toru suddenly remembered those strange "cigarette-like things" on Jiang Xia's body, and glanced at "Jiang Xia".

However, according to his previous tests, Jiang Xia's smoke seemed to be mixed with some ordinary plant powder, and it was not addictive.The technician who helped him detect said that it might be something like essential oils used to refresh himself.

"Jiangxia" failed to notice the gaze from Toru Amuro.

Because at this time, when he heard "something like a cigarette", he also remembered something, looked out the window, and felt a little puzzled.

——Speaking of which, why does Wu Tiangou like the pack of cigarettes on Jiang Xia so much?In the woods before, before he had time to take a closer look, the smoke was taken away by Wu Tiangou... Kidd recalled carefully, and found that before, at the scene of the crime, he met Jiang Xia who had just smoked. At that time, The smell on Jiang Xia's body is indeed different from ordinary cigarettes.

...Tsk, Jiang Xia must be forced to sell drugs for the scumbag boss.Or are you stressed enough to go astray with these things to decompress?
Thinking of this, "Jiang Xia" couldn't help but also glanced at Toru Amuro.

Next to him, Zhen Jiangxia propped his head, watching the reactions of these two people: "..."

...felt strange pots flying around in the air.

However, the matter between Bourbon and "Phantom Thief Kidd disguised as Jiang Xia" has nothing to do with Uzo...

They were silently watching and eating melons. At this moment, Toru Amuro seemed to be aware of some kind of watching as if watching a theater, and suddenly glanced at Zhen Jiangxia.

Then, as if remembering something, she lowered her eyes slightly and looked at Jiang Xia's cigarette pocket at this time.

Jiang Xia: "..."

... This undercover agent is also too sensitive to sight.

He pretended nothing happened, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

At the same time, he thought idly, it's time to drive the vest of "Uzo" and go buy some real cigarettes in a fair manner.

At that time, if the clerk asks him to show his ID again, he will be able to flick the adult ID on the table inadvertently, unimpeded in the smoking and drinking places... When he buys back the cigarettes, he will add a little imperceptible alcohol to it. Thin ghost mint.This can not only satisfy Matsuda's little hobby of smoking, but also add a mysterious and mature filter to himself with smoke special effects, and will not waste too much ghost mint, and the taste will not be the same as Jiang Xia's smoke...

It's a pity that time is tight this time, and I didn't have time to prepare cigarettes.And in this case, smoking is not very convenient...

The next time you go on stage, you must bring props with you.

Jiang Xia nodded secretly in her heart.

……

The "host" who tells the story is just a machine after all, unable to see the small movements of the guests.

He continued to tell the bloody story: "Other guests also got the traveler's 'cigarettes' one after another, and the venue began to be filled with thick smoke. After a while, some people began to scream like hell and left themselves. The target artwork ran wildly; some people burst into tears as if they were begging for someone's forgiveness, and couldn't stop no matter what; some people held a pen with excitement and kept stabbing their wrists...

"In the end, all the guests started to frantically snatch the artworks, and even picked up the famous knives and swords that were auctioned, and slashed and killed each other. The whole annex turned into hell.

"After this nightmarish night, there were eight dead people and more than a dozen comatose guests at the auction.

"And those two travelers who lost their way on a stormy night took a lot of art and disappeared."

After the "host" finished speaking, he temporarily stopped talking.

The hall fell silent as the detectives digested the untrue story.

The maid looked at the timetable and started serving tea according to the meal time.

Amidst the gurgling sound of the tea liquid filling the porcelain cup, the host's hostile voice sounded again:
"If you don't have a clue, you can try to replay the tragic tragedy 40 years ago-tonight, there can only be one guest who leaves the castle, let me see the ugly scene of you killing each other.

"However, looking for treasure in such a large villa is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Here is a little tip for you--

"'Two travelers looked up at the sky in the night, the devil came to the castle; the king fled with the treasure, the princess shed tears on the chalice, begging for forgiveness, the soldiers swung their swords and killed themselves, blood stained the land.'

"...Hehe, although it is just a hint, I think it can also be used to predict what will happen in this annex."

Jiang Xia took a sip of tea and was a little distracted: If the "prophecy" comes true and there is a massacre here tonight, the detectives will definitely take a lot of murderous looks, and maybe a few ghost fetuses will be lost... However, from a rational point of view, the detectives probably There is no such thing as "mutual killing" at all.

...However, referring to Conan, the detectives in this world seem to have the potential to be a dramatist.If they followed the wishes of the "organiser" and staged massacres seriously, maybe they could really generate some murderous intent?
Jiang Xia remembered that when he was invited to watch the set, he had gotten some murderous intent from senior actors—when he entered the show, those veteran actors really wanted to kill their targets.

It's a pity that such scenes are not available all the time. There are only a few famous actors who can be realistic enough to produce murderous looks, and most of them are one-offs—either they are killed suddenly, or they are killed suddenly and then caught. Quickly change the scene...
