Chapter 24 The Crisis of the Bloody Labyrinth

The morning after tomorrow, somewhere in the mountains.

"Do you still want to drive into the mountains?" On the passenger seat, Mori Kogoro looked at the scenery outside the window, the car was gradually driving into the depths of the mountains and forests.

"Well, my relative's house is in the deep mountains. But don't worry, there is a village near the house. There are hotels, hospitals, and various restaurants. The facilities are quite complete." The driver's seat Kyoko Koizumi, a beauty with long gray hair, is driving.

"Look to the side. That's where we'll be staying tonight. That's the villa."

"Wow, what a big villa. It's not an exaggeration to call it a palace!"

Tian Haimai in the back seat looked in the direction Koizumi Kyoko casually pointed at, only to see a huge tile-blue pointed building in the forest.

"Really..." Mao Lilan followed Tian Haimai's line of sight, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

"This villa has existed since the Meiji period, and every time it is in the hands of different generations of owners, it has to be expanded, and it has gradually become this scale." Kyoko Koizumi explained.

"It's really spectacular...but why are there so many chimneys?" Mori Kogoro looked at the top of the villa, wondering.

"Sarah, I'm not too sure about this, maybe it's because of the expansion." Koizumi Kyoko glanced out the car window, indeed, there are many chimneys at the top of the villa.

"By the way, Xiaolan, why are you here? Isn't school supposed to be in class today?" Tian Haimai turned his head and asked Mao Lilan next to him.

"It's not because I'm worried about Conan. I'm really worried that this kid will follow Dad, so I asked for leave and came together." Mao Lilan raised the little boy who was sitting in the middle of the back seat.

"Hello sister... I'm Edogawa Conan. Thank you sister for saving me last time." Edogawa Conan showed a big smile at Tian Haimai.

Ah, this little boy is so cute.

"Hello...I'm Tianhaimai. Children can come out to play, but don't run around and cause trouble for Xiaolan."

Thinking of this, Tian Haimai touched his head involuntarily, then turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

"Okay~" Edogawa Conan replied sweetly.

In the next second, Edogawa Conan changed another expression and sat on the seat.

The wine-red haired woman in front of her is definitely not as simple as she looks.

The night of the Halloween party, according to the recording equipment he left behind, he could hear it clearly.

The voice when she threatened Teacher Judy, and the excuses for shouting.

The logical loopholes in it are completely different from the statement she provided to the police station!It is obviously the same excuse, but the loopholes in it have been filled, and there is even relevant evidence to prove that she is really an unfortunate woman who fell into the water shortly after boarding the boat. Even the doctor who sold her anesthetics was found by the FBI Now, except for the fact that her boyfriend's identity is still a mystery, everything seems normal and reasonable.

Plus……

Conan Edogawa looked at Tian Haimai's boots. Just now, he heard a different sound when the boots stepped on the ground. There must have been something added to the layer of the sole.

In addition to the bulge at the back of her waist, she must have brought something. Damn, is this shape a wooden warehouse?

Who is this person?This is definitely no ordinary high school girl!

She disrupted his original plan and let Belmode and her companions go.So, is it a partner of the organization?That makes sense.

But why didn't she attack Hui Yuan?And Teacher Judy... The people in the organization don't seem to be the ones who would take this into consideration...

"Speaking of which, there was a little girl with brown hair who was kidnapped with you that day." Tian Haimai suddenly turned his head, stared at Edogawa Conan who was thinking and asked, "How is she doing?"

"Ah? Ahhhh, you mean Haihara-san? She was rescued by the police called by Xiaolan sister like me." Edogawa Conan instantly changed his face and replied innocently like a child. .

Why is the timing of this person's question so coincidental?

Is it a coincidence?Or did she already know that Hui Yuan Ai's true identity is Shirley from the organization?

"What about Lan? Why were you there? And Teacher Judy?" I looked at Mao Lilan.

"Ah, when I was a guest at Teacher Judy's house, I found the teacher posted in the bathroom mirror, including mine, Shinichi, and photos of Conan Dai and Xiao Ai. I thought the teacher might be a bad person. I wanted to I went to the teacher to question, and then saw the teacher's car parked downstairs, so I hid in her trunk as soon as my brain got hot."

"As for Teacher Zhu Di, she just came across the kidnapping scene by chance." Mao Lilan still remembered the information that Teacher Zhu Di needed to keep secret, so she didn't tell Tian Haimai that the teacher was an FBI who was on vacation or something.

"That's right, that's how it is." Tian Haimai had an expression of "Why are you so brave?" on Tian Haimai's face, "Fortunately, Teacher Zhu Di is not really a bad person. If he was a real bad person, you are already in danger now !"

"Not next time." Mao Lilan showed a shy smile. She had already been trained by Teacher Judy and Yuanzi for one round, but she didn't expect that there would be a second round today.

Tian Haimai turned her head, she was thinking about where the inexplicable sense of threat coming from the forest came from.

At the same time, she felt that the back of her head was about to be stared at by this kid. This was a bit inexplicable, and it didn't seem like she just saw the curious expression of the beautiful big sister. Why did she feel like her back was being scanned by an X-ray same.

Thinking of this, she blinked her pale pink cat eyes, touched her arm, and the goose bumps on her arm rose.

"I have a hunch that a big case will happen." Tian Haimai rubbed his arms, always feeling that the more he drove into this forest, the worse it felt.

"Xingzi, are there any historical legends about this house? For example, it used to be a mass grave, or a hospital... or something like that."

"Hahaha, you guessed it right! The previous owner built a hospital and an orphanage here. But now they are all gone, and they have been converted into this villa," Xingzi said cheerfully.

"Uh..." Tian Haimai was silent, and she began to cry in her heart.

help me!Why do my friends always try to hurt me?

I want to jump in the car now!Isn't this the standard ghost movie setting?

If I don't believe in materialism, I really want to say: Wow, friends, family members, what kind of disappearance cases are you in this kind of place!Hurry up and invite a few eminent monks who have attained the Tao, and lift them up to bliss!

"There should be no ghosts." After hearing this, Mao Lilan asked Koizumi Kyoko who was driving.

"Don't worry, sister Xiaolan. There are no ghosts in this world." Edogawa Conan patted Mao Lilan on the back comfortingly.

"I think there is... But Xiaomai thinks it's man-made. Whether it is there or not, won't we know after our investigation? Besides us, there are other investigation teams on the way." Kyoko Koizumi talking.

While talking, they arrived at the villa in the mountains.

This is a very grand European-style villa.Looking from top to bottom, the roof is pointed, and under the sunlight, it shows blue-gray tiles. The disharmony is that there are so many chimneys.

"One, two, three, four... eleven, twelve. Twelve chimneys? What's the matter?"

Mori Kogoro looked at the roof and counted the chimneys on the roof. He felt that this house was very strange.

"Also, look, Uncle Maori, the chimney in the middle feels different from the surrounding ones. It's round and very old."

Edogawa Conan pointed to the roof in the middle of the house, where there was a brick-colored round chimney, which was different from the blue-gray square chimneys elsewhere. Judging from the color of the bricks, this chimney should be the oldest It's been a long time.

The villa has a main building that faces them horizontally, and two auxiliary buildings that face us vertically and are perpendicular to the main building. The whole villa presents a square concave shape.

It is mainly divided into three floors, the main color is coffee color, and milky white, and the wall is covered with huge windows, which are arc-shaped.

In the center of the villa area is a square vegetation design with a circular fountain in the center of the vegetation.

Except for the discordant chimney, everything else is in line with the decoration that a grand villa should have.

A path paved with brown tiles passes through the fountain and extends straight to the entrance of the main building of the villa.

After driving for too long, everyone was a little tired, so we got out of the car and were walking slowly towards the entrance along this brown path.

From the first step into the area of ​​this villa, Tian Haimai smelled the smell of blood permeating the whole villa. The strong smell almost suffocated my nose. It seemed to come from every part of the house. smell.

"Help me..."

She heard a voice from this villa, it seemed to be a person, calling for help, this voice was weak, begging, and shouting incessantly.

There is also an elderly male voice, his voice is hoarse and full of obsession: "I don't want to die..."

Tian Haimai looked up at the villa, she showed a desperate expression, is this really all right?

"Lan, did you hear anything?" Tian Haimai turned his head and asked Lan who was walking beside me.

"Voice? No." Mao Lilan was a little puzzled.

It's okay, I understand.Tian Haimai took a deep breath.

It must be the cold that caused the auditory hallucinations, it must be the cold that caused my nose to fail, after all, I have only just had a fever!

Otherwise, how could the whole house smell of blood? If the two missing people were killed, there should only be a smell of blood coming from somewhere.

So it must be something wrong with my nose.

However, if Gin knew that I had given him a sleeping pill, and he sneaked out to prowl in the morning, he would probably be beaten again when he went back.

Anyway, I have already run out, and I will talk about it after I finish the bet with Kyoko, hey!

They walked to the main entrance of the villa, and there was a black-haired middle-aged man in a suit waiting for them at the door.

As soon as you enter the door, the hall of the villa is very grand, with a huge crystal chandelier above your head, and directly opposite is a long and wide staircase, which divides the villa into two halves like a shaft. The rooms on the left and right are no matter the number of doors , or decoration, are all symmetrical.

"Welcome everyone from afar. My name is Ohashi. I am fully responsible for this incident. You can treat me as a client." Mr. Ohashi bowed to us, "Which one is Ms. Koizumi Kyoko?"

"It's me, I'm Koizumi Kyoko." Koizumi Kyoko took two steps forward, her high heels rattling on the ground, which brought an inexplicable sense of peace of mind, "Uncle asked me to help investigate this matter. "

"You look very young, how many people here? And children?"

"These are my assistants, including this child. This one is the detective who came to help with the investigation, Mori Kogoro." Koizumi Kyoko raised her hand and introduced us to the client.

"Hello, I'm next, Kogoro Mori." Kogoro Moori tugged on his tie, and reached out to shake his hand.

"Ah, you are the famous sleeping detective Mori Kogoro!"

"I have always heard about your ability to reason and investigate cases, and I am very interested in your reasoning! But this incident is very supernatural, and we judge that it may be the work of evil spirits, so when you investigate, be sure to Watch out for your own safety."

Ohashi used the most respectful words and tone in Japanese. He was really eager to solve the problem of this house.

"Please follow me here, other teams have arrived earlier."

They are following Mr. Ohashi into the house.

In the hallway inside the house.

The hallway of this house is covered with a layer of dark red carpet, and the walls are covered with European-style wallpaper, gray-green.

There are large and small landscape oil paintings hanging on both sides of the corridor, and there are some vases hanging on the walls with dried flowers in them.

"This house is too strange... There are doors and windows everywhere." Mori Kogoro observed the surrounding walls.

On the walls, there are all kinds of doors and windows, big and small, pink, green, blue, all kinds of colors.

The materials are also different, some are made of wood, some are made of iron, even the position of the door is different, some are on the walls on both sides, some are on the ceiling, they are distributed irregularly, the same thing is that they All tightly shut.

Koizumi Kyoko opened a door casually, and on the other side of the door was a wall.

She opened another window casually. On the other side of the window was a dark room. From the light coming from here, one could see that there were also doors and windows inside the room, which were also irregularly distributed in the space. around.

People can't help but doubt, the other end of the window is a room, and there are doors and windows in the room. Is there a room in the room?It's like a maze here.

Edogawa Conan looked up at the ceiling: "In addition to doors and windows, there are stairs and handrails on the ceiling."

A half-section of stairs extending in mid-air is right above his head.What's the point of these buildings?Abstract design?

It feels strangely chilling.

The villa looks no different from other villas on the outside, but the internal construction methods are very inconsistent.

"This is the reason why this house has not been demolished, but has been continuously rebuilt on the original basis..." Mr. Ohashi answered our doubts.

From the patterns next to the stairs, you can still find the door half blocked by the stairs and hidden in the wallpaper pattern. Amami Mai, who was in a state of being scared to death, stopped Koizumi Kyoko from pushing the door open.

Tian Haimai frantically shook her head at Koizumi Kyoko, she smelled the smell of blood behind this door was slightly stronger than other places, and her intuition told her not to open that door.

"Stop talking, I feel that the oil paintings around me are also terrible..." Mao Lilan carefully looked at the oil paintings on both sides of the corridor.

It is obviously a landscape painting, but under the influence of the dim orange chandelier above the head, the long corridor, dark red carpet, weird doors and windows, and the staircase in mid-air make these ordinary oil paintings look weird.

Tian Haimai grabbed Xiaolan's arm tightly, and she felt a special pain.

This is a feeling of uneasiness when the cold is still not healed, one's own strength cannot be brought to a normal level, and one is in a strange environment.

Plus, most importantly!

She heard the sound, not the refreshing feeling of dripping water, but a thicker and thicker sound. She was very familiar with this sound, it was the sound of blood dripping!

She couldn't tell the exact location, but it seemed to be in the wall behind her right now!She seemed to hear the sound of breathing coming from the wall!

She's going crazy really!

"Everyone, this is the conference room. The team that arrived earlier is already waiting for you." Daqiao interrupted my fear.

In an instant, the voice disappeared, and the wall returned to its original appearance.

"Xiaolan, Xingzi..."

Xiaolan: "Huh?"

Xingzi: "What's wrong?"

"You and Conan must never act alone without my sight..." Tian Haimai lowered his head, assessing the gap between the two sides.

"What's wrong?" Mao Lilan felt puzzled.

"Did Big Sister feel it too?" Edogawa Conan looked at me seriously.

Tian Haimai looked at him with his head down, and his eyes conveyed: I feel it.

I could even sense that the smell wasn't aimed at all of us, it excluded Uncle Maori.

Its malice is directed towards me, Xingzi, Xiaolan, and...the strongest malice in it is facing you, cute little boy.

Xingzi nodded at me, and Xiaolan, who was puzzled, agreed.

Tian Haimai looked at the wall behind him, decided that he must be more vigilant, and then followed everyone's footsteps into the conference hall.
