Protect our prophets

Everything is developing as Katori expected.

The entire fantasy house has been designed as a maze. To enter each scene, you must complete the task requirements of each NPC to obtain "clues".The place of death in the garden is the final level.

Players cleared the customs all the way, came back here with gem clues and "murderer" evidence, and stated the "truth".The game ended and night fell, and Katori had arranged Xia Zhile's annual fireworks display as the curtain call for this event.

Although Katori handed over the progress of the afternoon activities to Shizuko, she is not really a fan of detective novels, and she is still confused after reading the script. Shiraishi Feng is obviously much more detailed than her. She went to sit in the pavilion for a while.

The players in the garden had gradually dispersed. She called people to carry the tables and chairs away, and kept busy.

The hot sun was in the sky, Ms. Shiraishi was sweating, and Shizuko Katori looked a little embarrassed, so she suggested that they go back to the house to rest for a while.

She saw that it was still early, and planned to put the props on after lunch.

"Hey, where's Yukino?"

"She seems to have gone with those young detectives just now." Bai Shifeng recalled, and said with a smile, "I hope she will have fun here."

The two came out of the garden, passed the fountain pool, and saw several figures rushing out from the opposite corridor.

Jingzi took a closer look, isn't this the boys just now?

"What happened?" She hurried forward, seeing Conan on Huadi's back, her eyes widened in surprise.

Atobe frowned in displeasure, and said coldly: "Some people are really unscrupulous in order to win."

Shiraishi Yukino also looked worried, and explained: "We were doing a task on the rockery just now, and someone pushed Conan-kun into the water while we were not paying attention."

Right at this point, the little boy sneezed appropriately.

The rockery pond is man-made. For comfort, a lot of dry ice was placed nearby. The temperature in the pond is very low. Now he is wet all over, the dull hair on his hair is drooping down, and his lips are slightly white.

In this weather, the conflict between cold and heat can easily lead to a cold.

Kaito looked serious, reached out and touched Conan's forehead, and said worriedly: "If you have a fever, you will be in trouble. Sigh, if you miss tonight's event, the little detective will be very disappointed, right?"

Katori Shizuko didn't suspect him, and hurriedly led them upstairs, saying, "Let the kids change out of their wet clothes first, and I'll go find some cold medicine—"

"Do you want to call the doctor to see?" Bai Shifeng asked.

"Then I'll trouble Madam," Kaito said.

Bai Shifeng found an empty room for them, and Huadi put Conan down, stuffed him under the quilt, and covered it tightly.

"Wait for a while." Bai Shifeng stretched out his hand to feel Conan's body temperature, frowned slightly, then turned his head and said, "Xue Nai, go and boil some hot water."

Not long after the two got up and left, the door creaked open, Songxue probed and was pulled in.

"What's the matter?" She turned her head and looked slightly shocked, "Isn't it, Conan-kun..."

This sacrifice is too great.

The boy in the bed shook his head, his voice was vague and innocent: "I said it wasn't intentional, do you believe it?"

"Actually, when we passed by, the progress of the two teams over there was almost the same. In order to grab the clue note, I accidentally knocked him down." Kaito shrugged, "It was nothing at all—"

"Then, just follow the trend." Conan replied.

"..."

Since it was his own attention, Matsuyuki had nothing to say, and turned to look at Kaito: "Hattori-kun and the others are waiting for you in Katori's study."

He made a gesture to indicate that there was no problem: "Then I will take a step first."

When he got up, he patted the quilt in Conan's hand, and said earnestly: "Take a good rest, don't be brave."

"Got it, Shin. One. Brother. Brother." Conan covered half of his face with the quilt, only showing a pair of eyes.

After he took off his glasses, Atobe's slightly moist blue eyes seemed to attract Atobe's attention, and he looked at his face a few more times before walking out of the room with Matsuyuki.

"This kid looks a bit like..." Atobe pondered.

Matsuyuki watched Huadi and Kaito disappear at the end of the corridor, turned around, and interrupted him calmly: "Speaking of which, why didn't you see Mrs. Katori?"

"She's gone to get the medicine." He came back to his senses and replied, "Where's the secretary?"

"Just now we used Mr. Katori's name to ask the housekeeper to take him there." Songxue said, looking at the time, "I hope we can make it in time."

Atobe was still a little puzzled: "You persuaded Katoro? Did he agree to—"

She raised her index finger and made a "shh" gesture.

"That's why I asked Kudo-kun to help." Songxue said meaningfully.

……

Atobe temporarily let go of his suspicions.Until Hattori Heiji pulled Hakuba Tan over, but Kaito was nowhere to be seen, the sense of disobedience in his heart became stronger and stronger.

He was a bit confused, but he didn't point it out directly, but just glanced at Song Xue secretly.

Without changing her face, she lowered her voice and said, "Don't ask, I'll explain later."

Atobe crossed his arms and snorted softly: "Then you'd better explain clearly, who made this plan? Is it you, or..."

"Of course it's Kudo-kun." Songxue replied without hesitation.

Atobe was still dubious, and shocked the little detective on the hospital bed into a cold sweat.

When he looked over, Conan tried to look nonchalant again, coughing: "I'm a little dizzy, can I sleep for a while?"

"Wait a little longer, the doctor will be here soon." Baima said gently.

After taking the medicine, Conan fell into a deep sleep.The group left the room again and met Katori Shinzaburo and his secretary Nojima Kaito at the stairs.

Katori put a plaster cast on his arm, and looked pretty good, but Katori Shizuko was taken aback and asked him for a long time.

"I was smashed by a statue while tidying things up? Oh my God!" She covered her mouth and gasped in a low voice, "It's too dangerous. I said it a long time ago. You should let the servants do this, but you won't listen , I also like to come by myself..."

"Haha, they said it's nothing," "Katori" said in a relaxed tone, "Maybe I've been too busy these days and accidentally got distracted—I promise, there won't be a next time."

Katori Shizuko played with his other arm, still rambling and talking non-stop.

Nojima silently followed behind the couple, holding a document in his hand, with a calm expression.

When Bai Shifeng saw that Katori was injured, he paused slightly, and Songxue noticed a strange look in her eyes, pursed her lips slightly, but soon returned to normal.

She and Hattori Heiji deliberately slowed down and fell behind the crowd. When they walked down the stairs, Heiji coughed lightly and signaled with his hands behind his back before following them.

A door in the corridor was originally only ajar, but it was pushed open at this time, Huachi carried the man out, and turned to another room.

Before he reached out to push, Conan had already opened the door from the inside.

He was still coughing, wearing a coat that was obviously much bigger, and his face was extraordinarily rosy.After tucking the real Katori under the quilt, Huachi looked at him subconsciously.

"It's okay, I've already taken the medicine, it's fine." Conan smiled at him, "You go to Brother Atobe. I'll just watch over here."

With a brisk tone, he stretched out his index finger and tapped the dial on his wrist.

After lunch, the afternoon was uneventful.

Although "Katori" was a bit slow with the plaster cast on it, there were no accidents.Katori Shizuko was by his side at first, never leaving him, and then she gradually let go of her concerns.

"Aren't you high school student detectives?" She asked with a smile, "Do you think it's too simple and not challenging?"

"Where is it?" Hattori Heiji answered, "Mr. Katori's puzzle is too special. I think maybe the gems really can't be found."

Shizuko looked at this side and then there suspiciously.

The teenagers all behaved very calmly. They should be the age most interested in the treasure hunt, but in this activity, they became the most idle team among the guests.

Either they gave up solving the puzzle and handed over the victory, or... on the contrary, they had the chance to win, so they waited so calmly for the arrival of night.

Katori Shizuko became more and more puzzled. It is reasonable to say that the murderer can be guessed, but can "Tears of the Sky" really be found?

Judging from the tone of communication between Katori and Uesugi, the gem should be hidden in a place that no one would have thought of, unless it was hit right—just like in "House of Illusion", the detective saw through Miss Artist's tricks and guessed that she used the gun Hidden in a statue I made myself.Or... what is it?

She tried hard to think about what her husband said, but her memory was already blurred.

Katori Shizuko is indeed not a fan of detectives, she shook her head and threw out her confused thoughts.After all, she has more things to care about now.

"Speaking of which, you seem to have a few companions..." She looked around, "I remember, Kudo-kun, right? Isn't he with you?"

"Oh, he stayed to take care of Conan." Heiji replied calmly.

……

The last level is set after dinner.

The players ran all afternoon, and when they returned to the main house, they were still talking in low voices, either unfinished or regretful.

"Why don't you take the last chance to turn over the whole house after dinner?"

Someone put forward a more crazy idea, and got a lot of response.

"Katori" shuttled around the dining table, still cheerfully: "Please feel free, if you can find it, no matter what method is fine."

People laughed one after another: "Mr. Katori is too confident."

"I don't believe it. It's just such a gem, can it still fly out? Katori, I will borrow it from your gardener later!"

"No problem." "Katori" raised his hand nonchalantly, "However, please enjoy your dinner first."

Just like the night before, the buffet is very rich, with everything from Japanese food to Western food.

Song Xue borrowed a lunch box from the servant, packed some sushi, and planned to take it to Conan.

"Are you going to take care of the children?" "Katori" walked over with a smile, and casually took a blueberry pudding from the dessert plate, "Here, take it. At his age, he should like this kind of dessert, right?"

Songxue was slightly surprised, and took it over: "Then thank you."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Atobe glanced at her lightly: "Be careful yourself."

The pine snow should fall, and he walked out of the hall with the lunch box.As soon as she stepped on the steps of the stairs, she heard a "crack" sound behind her, the lights flickered, and her entire field of vision went dark.

Broken glass fell to the ground and scattered crisply, followed by people's exclamations.

"power cut!"

Songxue stood still suddenly, and suddenly a flashlight flashed in front of her eyes.

Footsteps came running down the stairs, she squinted her eyes to adjust to the light, and saw Conan.

His cheeks were reddish, and he seemed to be sweating a lot.

"Are you okay?" Songxue asked.

Conan shook his head, his tone a little hasty: "Let's not talk about this, go and see what's going on inside."

There was a commotion in the hall, and the ears were filled with chaotic shouts.The servants were also at a loss. Obviously, the power outage was not in Katori's arrangement.

Atobe and Baima made a decisive decision and split up to find the emergency power supply and the main switch.

When the lights came back on, everyone held their breath and looked at the woman who was pressed down by "Katori" and Birch under the broken crystal lamp.

The blood-stained dagger fell to the ground, and white light flashed, reflecting the woman's pale face.

Then, someone screamed.

Bai Shixue Nai covered her mouth, her eyes widened blankly: "Mother... what are you doing?"

The author has something to say: When it comes to catching a cold...you understand it.JPG
