Yokohama singer is also working hard to remove the curse today

…Emi Sugita has always pursued extravagance and ostentation.She never hesitates to show her wealth to others. Except for a small band playing background music during meals, the extra-long banquet table that can accommodate more than [-] people sits down, and it still looks empty after more than a dozen people sit down. .It is no exaggeration to say that if the people sitting at the two ends of the table want to communicate, if they do not rely on other people's transmission, they may have to use a loudspeaker.

However, excluding those extravagant tragedies and exquisite food, this overly long table looks like a long table in a school cafeteria, making people unable to feel the "noble and elegant" temperament at all.

Between the toasts and cups, the atmosphere on the dining table was unusually weird.

Zhong Yuanzhong also carefully paid attention to everyone's facial expressions.As the hostess of this dinner and the owner of the villa, Emi Sugita was naturally busy with socializing and entertaining, so she hadn't heard anything since she was seated.The three detectives in Nagano Prefecture, especially Yamato Kansuke, were obviously not used to and displeased with such a luxurious and extravagant dinner, but for the sake of investigation, they could only patiently deal with Nobuko's enthusiasm for Sugita Emi.

Kogoro Moori gets carried away easily when he has good wine, drinking one cup after another, he can't think of it, Mo Lilan's little attention is all taken away by Kogoro Mouri, and he pulls Kogoro Moori with a black thread to prevent him from drinking too much.As for Conan Edogawa next to him, as a regular customer who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, he only knows how to eat when he looks at the well-behaved, and occasionally pretends to be naive and let out "Ah Lie Lie", throwing out one question after another seemingly inadvertently. Successfully made the atmosphere on the table drop to freezing point again and again.

Knotaba Yuhito and Nagasaki Wild Rose completely put their minds on food.There are people like Dazai Osamu who play high-end games around, and they don't need them to read people's hearts and make inferences, so they just relax and eat and drink.On the contrary, Fu Heihui paid more attention to everyone, and occasionally fell into deep thought.

Osamu Dazai is in such an environment like a fish in water.Although he can't use his identity as a child as a shield like Edogawa Conan to ask questions unscrupulously.But in terms of control over people's hearts, no one in the audience could compare with him. A seemingly random sentence or two quietly led the topic to the direction he wanted to know.Even though Emi Sugita was vague and silent, Osamu Dazai was still able to capture key information from tiny clues.

Among the people at the table, the most interesting and thought-provoking ones are naturally the three children of Emi Sugita.

The three of them sat in a row on Sugita Emi's right hand side, facing Mori Kogoro's family on the left hand side.

The eldest daughter Sugita Mina's face is extremely pale, she is as thin as a stick, but her eyes are deep and scary. She looks like an anorexic, but her eating and swallowing movements are extremely smooth, and she does not seem to be a person who rejects food.

During the whole dinner, Sugita Mina didn't say a word except Emi Sugita took her to greet everyone at the beginning. After finishing the small dinner, she sat in a daze as she couldn't leave early because of the rules. , wishing to be cut off from the whole world, her lackluster appearance made it impossible to associate her with the pampered eldest lady.

During the dinner, Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Conan also asked about the reason for Mina Sugita's suspension of school. However, Mina Sugita refused to speak and Emi Sugita also took strict precautions. She insisted that Mina Sugita was suffering from depression and anxiety caused by excessive academic pressure. .

The second daughter Sugita Yuka is much more lively and agile than her elder sister. During the dinner, she also helps Sugita Emi to greet the guests from time to time, enlivening the atmosphere.However, even though she tried her best to demonstrate, she was not a professional actor after all, and even Nakahara Nakahara could clearly see the tension and occasional uneasiness in her actions, not to mention the mind-reading expert Osamu Dazai.

In particular, the other party's eyes are on Yamato Dare to help from time to time, and Knotaba Yuhito skips over him, and then quickly flustered professionally. If she says that she has no ghosts in her heart, Zhong Yuanzhong is absolutely unwilling to believe it.

As for the youngest son Yamada Kenta, his level of silence is comparable to that of his eldest sister Sugita Mina, and his silent appearance is very autistic.

This family is really weird.Zhongyuan Zhong also complained in his heart.

Not only the master's family, but even the servants of this family are also very strange.

Nakahara Chuya's eyes swept across the servants without a trace, and he already had a judgment in his heart.

From the calluses on those people's hands, their standing posture and their occasional aura, Zhongyuan Zhong can also judge that more than half of the servants are not ordinary things, and a few of them are mercenaries at first glance.

This is very daydream.He went to live in the ancestral house in the suburban forest, and hired a group of combat-capable people as servants. Even if he was too particular about ostentation, there was no need to be so exaggerated.

Either Sugita Huimei has read too many novels, or she has persecution paranoia, or—she is afraid that someone will kill her.

Emi Sugita entrusted Mori Kogoro to investigate the strange corpses that frequently appeared near his home. Could the reason for the appearance of those corpses have any connection with the secrets of this family?

……

After the meal, Yamato Kansuke and the three bid farewell in a hurry, Sugita Mina also ran back to the room immediately, locked the door and did not come out.In addition, the entire dusk villa is harmonious.

In this way, time passed and night fell, and the villa gradually fell into silence.

Until dawn, a shrill scream was caught off guard outside the villa.

Nakahara Nakaya opened his eyes in Dazai Osamu's arms, and ran to the window in twos and twos.

Their room was located on the second floor of the villa, only three or four meters above the ground, and the ground was wet and soft. Even if he jumped directly, it wouldn't make people think too much.

The height of more than three meters is very easy for Zhongya Zhongyuan even without the ability.He rolled over and jumped down like a deft cat when he landed.

Like him, there are three people who "do not take the usual path" like him. Their strong physical fitness has given them the capital of "impulse".

The four of them ran straight towards the source of the sound without stopping after landing.

In the grove at the southwest corner of the villa, a young woman in a maid's outfit collapsed on the ground, trembling and trying to escape, but her legs that were weak from fear stopped her from moving.

Kunzhang Youroto hurriedly ran up to support her: "Are you alright?"

The woman's face was pale as if she was about to faint in the next second. The appearance of Knotweed Yujin undoubtedly gave her great courage and strength. Both hands firmly grasped the lapel of the knotweed Youruhito, not daring to let go.

Taking advantage of Knotaba Yuhito's time to comfort her, Nakahara Nakaya stepped forward to inspect the corpse alone, Fukuroe quietly used spells to investigate, Nagasaki Yaqiangwei took out the phone to call the police for the two of them.

Zhong Yuanzhong would not touch such a sudden corpse rashly to destroy the scene.Even just looking at it from a distance is enough for him to analyze and judge the cause of death.

The body is a sentence of a young woman.She was wearing a maid uniform, and she was obviously one of the servants of the Sugita family.

Like the photos of the victims that Zhu Fu Gaoming showed them earlier, the woman in front of her died in the same way.The withered body seemed to be dried into a mummy after being hungry for a long time, but the firmness of the flesh and body temperature of the corpse could tell that the death time of the other party was extremely short from now.

In order to facilitate Mori Kogoro's investigation, Sugita Emi let all the servants in the family walk in front of them, and there was no one who had been starving for several days and was skinny.

The faint breath of the curse spirit floating in the air clearly told the possible cause of death of the deceased in the Central Plains.

Was it caused by the curse spirit?

Zhongyuan Zhong also thought in his heart.But if this is the case, why is the only one who died today a maid in the villa?

Could it be that watching them come to investigate and deliberately giving them a blow?

Normally speaking, it would not be so rampant.

The most important thing is that the death methods of the previous deceased were basically the same, but without exception, they all bypassed the people in the villa.

Today's reality tells them that the criminal has the ability to attack the members of the villa. In this case, the previous "crimes" can be said to be extremely "partial" to the people in the dusk villa.

What Zhongyuan Zhong couldn't figure out was that if the prisoner wanted to avoid suspicion or prevent people in the villa from being implicated in the corpse before he chose to attack strangers, why did he choose to throw the corpse near the villa? What about things?

Secondly, the magicians Nakahara Chuya and Tiboni Yuhito shouldn’t be unaware of such a big movement of the curse spirit attacking humans, but the fact is that they didn’t notice anything wrong overnight, nor did they notice Any smell of something wrong.

It was at this time that the others finally "belatedly".

In order to prevent someone from causing damage to the corpse and interfering with the investigation, Mori Kogoro specially set up a cordon, and he himself guarded the nearby area, always monitoring to prevent anyone from approaching.

On the other side, relying on the butler Maeno, the identity of the deceased was quickly confirmed, and he was one of the maids in the villa.

"How could such a thing happen suddenly?" Emi Sugita, who came to the scene of the crime with Mori Kogoro, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and sighed, "For such a young person, the prisoner is too vicious. Mr. Mori, Please also find out the murderer."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Sugita." Mori Kogoro assured, patting his chest.

"Mom, it's cold outside, drink a glass of water to moisturize your throat." Sugita Yujia thoughtfully brought a cup of tea and handed it to Sugita Emi.

On the other side, Edogawa Conan moved closer to Yujin Knotabagi, helping him to comfort the maid who witnessed the death.It wasn't until the other party calmed down that he cautiously asked, "Sister, did you see something?"

The maid nodded with lingering fear, her voice trembling: "I saw... a man was holding the body of xx (the deceased), his face was pale. As soon as I called, he, he disappeared out of thin air!"

With a "click", the cup in Emi Sugita's hand fell to the ground and shattered.
