Mori Kogoro drove Hattori Heiji, Rika, and Conan through the mountain roads to reach the legendary villa.The villa stands alone on a mountain, surrounded by a green forest, which looks a lot more gloomy, no wonder there are rumors of haunting.

Mori Kogoro passed by the gate and drove directly to the front of the main building, next to several parked cars, and also parked the rented car.

Mori Kogoro got out of the car first: "This kind of place is really uncomfortable..."

"Indeed." Hattori Heiji also got out of the car with the luggage bag.

The three-story European-style building, if you look closely, you will find that it is an old house, and the wall decoration is a bit old.

Conan and Rika got out of the car respectively and observed everything around them. Conan suddenly pointed in one direction: "Is it there?"

All three looked in one direction. In the independent building on the left rear of the main building, there is a small room on the first floor with a big lock on it. The room is different from the old old house, and it seems that it has just been refreshed. .

"Little ghost, what are you talking about?" Mori Kogoro was a little impatient, feeling that Conan was "babbling nonsense" again.Before, Rika gave each of them a copy of the information she got, but Mori Kogoro thought it was useless, so he didn't read it at all. Naturally, he didn't understand what Conan meant.

When Rika and Hattori Heiji saw it, they thought it should be Masao Asakawa's small warehouse written on the document, the place where the crime happened.Because the warehouse was rebuilt after the fire three years ago, it looks newer than the main house.

Rika nodded, squatted down and rubbed Conan's hair with a smile, her eyes were doting, and her tone was soft: "Conan is so smart..." Because the first time I saw Conan, there was a very familiar feeling, and my own The brother is very similar in breath, so she likes this child very much.It's just that this child always avoids her. If Dr. Ali hadn't said that Conan was shy and introverted, she would have thought she was hated.

Introverted?shy?Rika girl, you have been deceived.

Conan's glasses flashed a light, he touched his head and smiled silly: "Of course, I am determined to become a detective like Shinichi brother."

Hearing what Conan said, Rika felt a strange feeling in her heart, and the expression on her face was complicated and difficult to distinguish.

Mori Kogoro interrupted their chat impatiently: "Okay, let's go in."

Rika suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, nodded, and followed Mori Kogoro towards the gate of the main house.

Hattori Heiji embraced Conan, lowered his voice and whispered, "Be careful, you know your sister is sensitive..."

"Sorry." Conan also lowered his voice.

Hattori Heiji grinned maliciously: "So you should calm down this time and leave it to me."

Conan gritted his teeth: "You bastard..."

"What the hell are you doing?" Mori Kogoro frowned and looked at the two people who were biting their ears: "You guys are almost here, come here quickly."

Everyone stood at the door of the main house, and Mori Kogoro straightened his suit collar and rang the doorbell.

Soon, a kind old man with silver-white hair in deacon uniform opened the door, and bowed slightly with a smile on his face: "Detective Maori, Detective Hattori, miss and young master, welcome to Asamoto House, my surname is Nakagawa."

Mori Kogoro coughed lightly, and led the three of them in, and they all froze in place within a few steps.

Is this really a place where people live?

The whole hall is like a sealed box, there are no stairs extending to the upper floor, and there are no doors leading to the various rooms or activity rooms.Next to the unopened crystal chandelier on the roof, there are three windows of different colors. There are many oil paintings of sunflowers on the walls of the hall. The blooming sunflowers have a gloomy feeling under the dim light of the wall lamps...

Hattori Heiji said to himself: "No one will believe it if it is not haunted..."

The sound of closing the door with a "bang" awakened everyone who was stunned.

The old butler's kind smile was quite strange under the dim light. He smiled and said, "Four, please follow me."

Butler Zhongchuan walked up to a picture of sunflowers, pushed the right photo frame of a picture to the left, and the wall moved along with it like a Japanese-style sliding door, and a new space appeared, and he made a gesture of please enter.

Rika followed Mori Kogoro and glanced at the painting before entering the room.It's just a mural with a frame, not a single oil painting as previously thought.It is really interesting to use a frame instead of a door handle.

Walking into the room, I found that it was a living room, and there was already a person drinking tea in it.Seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a white suit, brown curly hair, brown eyes, and fair skin, he is a very handsome boy.

Li Xiang tilted her head and thought for a while, she seemed to have seen this person somewhere.

Hattori Heiji frowned: "White Horse Detective?"

Detective Hakuba gracefully put down his teacup, stood up and saluted: "Detective Maori, Hattori-kun, and Conan, good morning." He smiled at Rika and held out his hand: "Nice meeting, Detective Hakuba."

Rika also reached out her hand and held it, with a faint smile on her face: "It's our first time meeting, Kudo Rika." This is the high school detective I saw in the newspaper last time.

Conan's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he ran up to take Lixiang's hand out of the white horse detective's hand, and said in a childish voice: "Sister Lixiang, he should be the third detective invited." Bastard, smile so brightly What are you doing?Could it be that you want to seduce my sister?

It turns out, Kudo Shinichi, you're thinking too much.

After the housekeeper Nakagawa asked the maid to serve tea for the four of them, he invited the owner of the Asakawa house to come over.

Walking into the living room, there were five people besides the butler Nakagawa, Ichiro Asakawa and his wife Rei Asakawa, Jiro Asakawa and his wife Yumi Asakawa, and Saburo Asakawa.

Li Xiang, who has read the materials, is not too unfamiliar with them, and with the help of Xiu Yi, she also understands clearly some of the shady things they do in private.Even though he knew that Ichiro Asakawa was lustful and incapable of being a woman, Ichiro Asakawa had a new understanding when he saw Rika's disgusting and greedy eyes.

Fortunately, Hattori Heiji and Hakuba Tan are both sensitive and considerate gentlemen, and they quickly stood in front of Rika to block Asakawa Ichiro's disgusting gaze and Asakawa Rei's jealous gaze.

Asakawa Ichiro sat on the sofa and said lazily: "My father didn't leave any special reminders, only the three words 'sunflower'..."

"Father likes sunflowers very much," Asakawa Jiro added anxiously: "There are so many sunflower decorations in this mansion, and we really can't find them, but according to what my father said before his death, they should be very valuable things."

Rei Asakawa and Yumi Asakawa also looked at them expectantly, while Saburo Asakawa just lowered his head and remained silent.

Hattori Heiji couldn't help asking: "Are there any other clues besides the sunflower?" Seeing the two people shaking their heads, he asked again: "Did Mr. Asakawa leave a diary or a treasured relic?"

Asakawa Ichiro said impatiently: "I don't need to find a detective if I stay."

Baima Tang answered: "First of all, let us get familiar with the villa, it is best to give us a floor plan..."

Ichiro Asakawa interrupted Tan Baima: "If you need to go directly to Steward Nakagawa, just tell us where the treasure is at the end." He yawned: "I'll catch up on sleep first, don't come to me for now."

Asakawa Ling and Asakawa Saburo also left behind.

Asakawa Jiro smiled obsequiously at them: "My elder brother has a bad temper. If you have urgent matters, you can come to me to discuss them at any time." Saying that, he took his wife and left.

Rika rubbed her chin, feeling that Saburo Asakawa's attitude was a bit strange.

"Excuse me, Grandpa Nakagawa, please show us around." Conan's immature voice interrupted Rika's thinking.

I went around with Butler Zhongchuan, and it was indeed as they said, there are really a lot of sunflower decorations in the villa, and the whole mansion has been built into a maze, if you don't have someone familiar with you, you will definitely get lost.The place that looks like a wall may be just a curtain, but the place that looks like a window opens into another room, which makes people feel a chilling and weird feeling.According to the housekeeper Nakagawa, this mansion was rebuilt after Masao Asakawa bought it.

Unknowingly, it was noon, and was taken to the dining room by Butler Zhongchuan. The table was already full of meals: "Masters are all dining in their own rooms, five of you are invited to eat."

"Sorry." Li Xiang looked away from the window and said with a smile: "You guys eat first, don't wait for me."

Except Kogoro Moori, who was having a good meal, all three of them looked at the window, and Baima frowned, "Oh?"

Rika walked to a small sunflower field behind the villa, and greeted Saburo Asakawa, who was taking pictures of sunflowers: "Good afternoon."

Saburo Asakawa paused slightly for pressing the shutter, raised his head and nodded at Rika, and then continued to take pictures.

Li Xiang didn't care about his indifference, and turned her eyes to the sunflowers that bloomed brilliantly under the scorching sun: "I also like sunflowers, sunflowers are really beautiful." A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "At any time, I will try my best to look towards its beauty." The sun, never changing, firm and brave."

Hearing Li Xiang's words, Asakawa Saburo looked at Li Xiang in surprise: "Firm and brave?" When it comes to sunflowers, most girls of this age would think of the sad flower language, silent love: "It's a good description."

Rika looked at Saburo Asakawa and smiled brightly: "Why does Mr. Asakawa like sunflowers?"

Under the sun, Rika's smile seemed to exude a faint brilliance, and Saburo Asakawa was taken aback.

"Mr. Asakawa?"

Saburo Asakawa turned his head and coughed lightly in embarrassment: "Because it blooms brilliantly, like the sun on the ground, warm and full of vitality."

"Very good description."

Saburo Asakawa smiled bitterly: "This is what my father often said."

"That's why Masao Asakawa likes sunflowers so much..."

Saburo Asakawa was silent for a while, smiled complicatedly, and did not speak.

Li Xiang didn't continue this topic, just chatted with the other party a few words casually, and then returned to the restaurant.

Conan was the first to discover Lixiang: "Sister Lixiang is back, just now..."

Butler Zhongchuan pushed open the door and shouted anxiously: "Detective gentlemen, the young master, he, he is dead..."

"what?"

The author has something to say: After reviewing Conan, I always feel that I should write a detective story. There may be various unscientific stories. Please bear with me...
