Xiaolan suddenly found that she seemed a little excited, blushing and sitting calmly on the stool, watching Amuro Toru serve the dishes.

Soon the table was filled with delicious dishes.

Xiaozi brought some small cups, and Yuxiang poured wine for Yang Ming and Maori.

"Amuro, please drink a little too."

Yang Ming pointed at Toru Amuro and motioned to Xiaozi to get him a cup as well.

Amuro Toru laughed: "Sorry, I don't drink."

When Kogoro heard this, he sighed: "Oh, you don't want to drink? That's such a pity. You can't taste such a beautiful thing."

As he said that, Kogoro picked up the cup and took a sip, shuddering.

"Oh, the liquor is still strong, compared to that, the beer is just like water."

Yang Ming said: "Mr. Maoli, I wonder if I can go with you? I am also very interested in the owner of this letter."

Maoli was stunned and said with difficulty: "I need to contact them about this matter. After all, they only invited me."

Yang Ming smiled, picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and made sure to put them on the table before drinking.

"Tell the owner that the person coming is also a detective. I believe the other party will be very happy."

"By the way, if I can go, you won't need to rent a car, right?"

After hearing this, Mao Li thought about it in his mind. Yes, Yang Ming has a car. If he takes him there, he doesn't have to spend money to rent a car. This can save a lot of money.

"No problem, brother Yang Ming, just leave this matter to me."

Toru Amuro, who was on the side, also wanted to go with him, but when he remembered that there were still unfinished tasks assigned by the organization this week, he had no choice but to give up this opportunity to observe Kogoro up close.

The wine was drunk quickly, and Mouri Kogoro soon became exhausted. In the end, Xiaolan snatched Kogoro's wine glass, and he himself was drunk and fell under the table.

……

In a blink of an eye, the weekend came. Yang Ming got up at ten o'clock as usual and drove his Mazda to the coffee shop. Maoli and others had been waiting for a long time.

"Hey, hey, hey, Yang Ming, you're too late. It will be late at night before we arrive at the Dusk Villa."

Yang Ming shrugged and said sorry.

This was already a relatively early time for him to get up. Generally speaking, Yang Ming had just woken up at ten o'clock.

"Okay, Dad. Let's go quickly."

Yang Ming got out of the car and helped Xiaolan and others put their luggage into the trunk. Conan said doubtfully: "Brother Yang Ming, didn't you wash up today?"

Yang Ming looked at Conan awkwardly, unwilling to talk to him. It was so annoying, as you could tell.

Along the way, Yang Ming and Mao Li took turns driving. Because the road was quite far away, it took five hours on the highway alone.

At noon, Yang Ming took out the prepared lunch and distributed it to everyone.

This way you don’t have to get out of the car to eat on the roadside, the car keeps driving.

It wasn't until dusk that we finally arrived near the Dusk Villa.

Yang Ming looked to the distance and could vaguely see a black spot on the mountain, which should be the Dusk Villa.

Mouri Kogoro, who was driving now, was smoking a cigarette, and the ashtray in the car was full.

Yang Ming, the co-pilot, was sleeping, and Xiaolan and Conan were resting in the back seat with their eyes squinted, which showed how boring long-distance driving can be.

Suddenly there was a squeaking sound from the car's tires, and the whole car began to shake violently. Kogoro relied on his many years of driving experience and gently applied the brakes to finally stabilize the car.

The shaking of the car woke up all the people in the car. Yang Ming got out of the car to check and found that both rear tires of the car were punctured, which seemed to be caused by long-distance driving.

Yang Ming scratched his head and said doubtfully: "That shouldn't be the case. I maintain this car regularly. How could it have a flat tire?"

Kogoro blew on the trunk of the car and said angrily: "Damn it, a tire got punctured in this barren mountain."

Conan whispered: "Isn't there a spare tire?"

Kogoro angrily punched Conan on the head and cursed, "You idiot! There is only one spare tire, how do you change it?"

The sharp-eyed Xiaolan found a gas station not far away and said to Kogoro: "Okay, Dad, don't you see there is a gas station over there? Let's go there and have a look."

Kogoro said happily: "Hey, hey, this is another village!"

After saying that, he headed to the gas station with a step that he didn't recognize his relatives.

Soon, Yang Ming and others repaired the car and set foot on the road to the Dusk Villa again.

For some reason, Yang Ming always felt a little strange when looking at Mouri Kogoro.

But he couldn't tell.

Dusk has passed, night has fallen, and a little light rain has begun to fall in the sky. Matched with the forest, the atmosphere is full.

"Hey, Dad, can we really go out on this road?"

The path is surrounded by dense trees, so you can only move forward but cannot turn around.

Kogoro said angrily: "I will really thank you. This is a shortcut for me to ask the people at the gas station. I spent a lot of money on it."

"If this boss dares to frame me, I will never let him go!"

The car drove for some distance, and finally there was a gap leading to the road ahead.

Kogoro lowered the car to first gear, stepped on the accelerator, and climbed up the hill with difficulty.

The car made the sound of horses and rushed onto the road.

Seeing this situation, Yang Ming said angrily: "Please, Mr. Maoli, can you take good care of it? This is not for rent."

Maoli smiled awkwardly: "Hahaha, I know, don't worry, although I don't have a car, I am an experienced driver."

Buying a car in Neon Country is actually not expensive, and Yang Ming doesn't know why Maoli is reluctant to buy a car. It stands to reason that it would be easy to buy a mobility scooter with his income.

As soon as they reached the main road, Yang Ming and others discovered the Dusk Villa.

"Sister Xiaolan, look over there. Is that the Dusk Villa?"

Xiaolan looked at the Dusk Villa getting closer and closer, feeling a little panicked, and said to Kogoro:

"Dad, I think we should not go there. This place looks a bit scary. There might be vampires."

"Please, we have already collected the check. I'm afraid it would be bad if we don't go now. Besides, we are almost at the door."

Yang Ming chuckled, turned back to Xiaolan and said:

"I mean, Xiaolan, that's not what you said that day."

Yang Ming pretended to imitate what Xiaolan said that day:

"I'm going to book the Dusk Villa, even the vampires can't stop me!"

"You were full of confidence at that time."

Xiaolan blushed with embarrassment and recalled what she had said before.

Conan beside him also consoled him: "Yes, Sister Xiaolan, if there is really a vampire, just beat him with karate!"

While Maori was chatting with Yang Ming, the car passed a corner and Kogoro unconsciously slowed down the car.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared directly in front of the car, and Kogoro slammed on the brakes.

"It's a vampire!"
