Famous Detective Conan: Eating and Waiting To Die - Chapter 70

“Xiaotong…Are you alright?” Xiaolan walked to Mao Litong’s side, looking at the pale Mao Litong with a worried look on her face.

“It’s okay… I’m okay, Sister Xiaolan, why don’t you do the math, it’s really accurate, go and figure out when the new brother will come back!”

Xiaolan looked back at Conan, who was studying the tarot cards, and then looked up at the cloudy sky, “Never mind, just like this sky, when it’s clear, it’ll be clear!! When it’s time to come back, He will be back!!!!”

“Really? Those who should come back will come back, those who have been escaping all the time will face one day…”

Just now, Hitomi Mouri remembered the part of her memory that she had lost, her name, her appearance, and so on. . Perhaps she never forgot her last words, she just didn’t want to think about it, “Mingming… take my share and live well…”

Maori Hitomi, who has never cried since then, cried, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes without a trace, not only the tears, but also the fetters and shackles of the past. . . . . . . . .

Mao Litong, who was in a good mood, showed a smile that had not been shown for a long time, and Xiaolan on the side saw Mao Litong, who had regained her old smile, and he was relieved, “Great, it really was the right choice to bring Xiaotong out. …”

Everyone who was having fun suddenly heard the sisters Hoonami and Minaho say, “I’m sorry to bother you, the pointer is almost 12 o’clock, and as usual, the mask house will be locked. The east and west sides will not be able to walk through, so please go back to your room before locking the door.”

“Is there a reason to lock the door at 12 o’clock?” Conan asked curiously.

“Shaublu’s mask likes to play pranks very much. After 12 o’clock, he will come out to play around, so he has to lock the room where they are…”

“Why… how could such a thing happen…” Matsudaira said with a look of disbelief but a little fear.

“It’s true, after dawn, Xiao Bru’s mask will be crooked, or simply fall to the ground. It has happened many times so far, so everyone, please go back to your own room. “

“Hello…” Conan scratched his head helplessly, “How long will this kind of nonsense be blown…”

In desperation, everyone returned to their room with some unfulfilled thoughts, while the twin sisters had been standing outside the door until they locked the door of Masquerade Residence before 12 o’clock. . . .

The bell rang at midnight, and the hazy sky turned out to be really clear. Under the moonlight, the mask of the masked Curie Shaublu exuded a bewitching light. . . . . . . . . . .

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Hitomi Maori, who untied the knot in her heart and became sleepy, and fell asleep on the bed. . . . “Conan,” Xiaolan, who was lying next to Conan, snuck into Conan’s ear secretly, “Have you noticed that Xiaotong suddenly thought of something…”

“Yeah,” Conan nodded, and the confident Mori Hitomi who didn’t care about anything before came back. . . . . .

At night, Mao Litong, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a harsh phone call, and the angry Mao Litong directly picked up the phone, “Hey, who are you?”

“Hey, hey, hey.” There was a piercing laughter, “I am the messenger of the cursed mask. The cursed mask is hungry for blood. Who will sacrifice?”

The other people in the room were also awakened, and Maori Tong, who hated being disturbed when she was sleeping the most, roared into the phone in a daze, “Your uncle, longing for your sister, sacrificing your sister. I’m making harassing calls, I The gun broke you!!” He hung up the phone with a snap, and went back to sleep on the bed. .

Mouri Kogoro, Conan, Xiaolan, collective petrochemical. . And of course the murderer who called. . . . “Hey! Little Hitomi,” Conan pushed Mouri Hitomi, who was lying on the bed, “what did the person on the phone just say?”

Hitomi Mouri, who was woken up, murmured impatiently, “Say he’s the messenger who cursed the mask, and he still desires blood, and someone will sacrifice something…”

“What?” Hearing this, Kogoro Mouri jumped up immediately, “Hurry up, hurry up, something must have happened!!” He took the lead and rushed out.

“Uh…” Only then did Mao Litong realize that the call just now seemed to be a threatening call. . So he reluctantly left the warm bed, followed behind Xiaolan and Conan slowly, and walked in the direction of the mask house. . .

“Damn it, it’s locked!!” Kogoro Mori shook the door handle of Masked Residence a few times! Looking back, he saw Xiaolan and Conan standing behind him, “Xiaolan, Conan, go and ask Miss Konami to get the key!!!”

“Hi!!” So Xiaolan ran downstairs with Conan. . At this time, Hitomi Mouri had just walked to the gate, looking at Kogoro Mouri who looked anxious, would you like to kick the gate to pieces for his uncle? But then he denied his own thoughts, “Bullshit, no matter how strong a child is, it is impossible to break this kind of door. If you expose yourself because of this kind of thing, it is not worth it…”

Xiao Ran, who came up from the downstairs with the key, rushed to the door of the masked house with Hoonami and Conan in a panic, “Dad, the key… Here’s the key…” The panting Xiao Lan will The key was handed to Maori Xiaowu.

After opening the door and entering, Mouri Kogoro was shocked, “What… what’s going on? All Xiao Bru’s masks are gone!!!!” Conan, who followed him, was also surprised when he entered the mask house. “How could it be! Who the **** took those Xiao Bru’s masks?”

When everyone was surprised, “Whoa!” There was a sound of something hitting the floor from upstairs! ! “What was that sound just now?” Kogoro Mori turned his head and asked the crowd.

It seems to have come from upstairs! Hitomi Mori pointed to the ceiling. “Above? That’s Miss Su Fang’s bedroom!!” Kogoro Mouri was about to run back, trying to go up the stairs on his side.

“Wait, Mr. Mouri!” Hoonami hurriedly stopped Kogoro Mouri, “The side you live in is not accessible, Miss Su Fang’s room can only be accessed from the opposite stairs!!!”

“Damn..” Kogoro Mouri looked at the door opposite, “But it’s locked here too!!!!”

“Leave it to me, Mr. Mori, I’ll call my sister Minaho right away!!”

“Well… that’s the trouble for you…”

“Hello.. You guys are so noisy. What happened?” That Seiya yawned sleepily. . . .

“What?” Seiya, who took a closer look at the mask house, was taken aback, “Xiao Bru’s mask… all disappeared?”

After a while, Minaho, who was woken up by the phone, hurriedly opened the door, and everyone who was woken up by the noise walked out of their room, “What happened, Mr. Mori?” Mouri Kogoro asked in confusion.

“Something may have happened in Su Fang’s room, and I don’t have time to explain it. Now everyone hurry up and follow me to the third floor! Hurry up!” Saying that, Kogoro Mouri took the group of confused guys and ran directly to the third floor. At the door of Su Fang, Maori Kogoro slammed the door hard, “Miss Su Fang! Miss Su Fang! What happened? Damn it, this place is locked too!”

Conan pointed to the window above the door, “Uncle, break that glass and let me go in and see what’s going on!”

Everyone obviously hadn’t woken up from the shock, “Mr. Maoli, what happened? What happened to Miss Su Fang?”

“I don’t know, maybe something happened~!” Li Xiaogoro explained while stepping on the stool to break the glass above the door, then took Xiaolan and handed a tablecloth to the bottom of the window, then hugged Conan, He slowly entered the door, and then looked in through the window, “Ah!” Kogoro Mouri opened his mouth wide, his face full of surprise!

“Conan, open the door!”

“Yes, Uncle Mori!” Conan, who glanced at the scene, opened the lock on the inner door. . . . . .

The Saint Seiya saw Su Fang Hongzi lying on the bed covered in blood and shouted, “Mr. Su Fang!” As he said that, he was about to rush in. . . . .

“Don’t come in, stay here!” Kogoro Mouri hurriedly blocked the door, “Don’t go in before the police come, or you will destroy the scene!”

After speaking, Maori Kogoro walked over to Su Fang and checked, “There are Xiao Bru’s masks scattered all over the floor, a knife was cut on his neck, his pulse is gone, he is dead!” Then he stood up and looked After looking around, “Although the door is closed and locked from the inside, according to the condition of the body, it can’t be suicide!”

Conan, who came first, was constantly looking for clues that might be useful in this room full of masks, “Huh? This is…” Picking up a piece of paper from the ground, “Uncle, here’s a piece of paper! “

Maori Kogoro hurriedly took the piece of paper and read, “Our curse is completed here, this should be the criminal statement left by the murderer! Xiaolan, hurry up and call the police! (Xiaolan is the most diligent person to call the police~ ~)”

“Yes, Dad…”

Thirty minutes later, Officer Mumu arrived at the scene with a team of police officers. . . . “There is such a thing, the messenger of the cursed mask…” Mu Mu, who was holding the threatening letters in his hands, looked at the crowd angrily, “Why didn’t you call the police immediately when you received such letters? Woolen cloth?”

“That’s because the victim, Miss Su Fang, said that such pranks happen often, so we don’t need to be too concerned, so we didn’t notify the police.” Kogoro Mouri explained.

“Is that so…” Mu Mu pointed to the masks scattered all over the room, “Is this the cursed mask?”

“Yes, I remember that when we were in the mask house downstairs, we heard a very loud clatter. I think the prisoner might have just dropped these cursed masks at that time…”

Mu Mu squeezed his chin, “Brother Maori, are you sure this room is locked from the inside?”

Mouri Kogoro nodded, “We shattered the glass of the small window above the door, put Conan in, and the door was opened…”

“It’s true, Officer Mumu, the door is indeed locked, and both locks are locked…”

“Two locks?” Mu Mu turned his head to look at Conan, “Conan, what’s going on?”

“That’s right, Officer Mumu, Miss Su Fang’s habit is to put two locks on the door,” Maori Kogoro walked to the door, “First is the dark lock on the door, which is the rotating lock, and then That’s the padlock.”

“But why did the victim have to put two locks?”

“That’s because the psychic invited Miss Su Fang to abide by several conventions when she was sealing the curse of the mask. One of the conventions was to have two locks in the bedroom…”

“A psychic?” Mu Mu shook his head, apparently thinking that this person was playing tricks, “Then who are you…?” Mu Mu pointed at the woman who was talking just now.

“Oh, I’m the secretary of the deceased, my name is Inaba.”

“In this case~www.mtlnovel.com~ the victim opened the door and let the prisoner in?”

“No, it shouldn’t be like this. Kogoro Mouri shook his head. Miss Su Fang recently suffered from insomnia, so she took sleeping pills before going to bed.”

“But Brother Maori, if the victim locked the door as usual and went to sleep after taking the sleeping pills, how did the prisoner get in?” Mu Mu looked at the scene suspiciously, “Huh? Where’s the door next to it?”

“The next door is also the bedroom, but the door is said to have been closed many years ago, and you see, Kogoro Mouri walked to the door. It definitely didn’t go out from here, but…” Kogoro Mori looked up, “There is a lattice window on the door, can the lattice window be taken down?”

“I checked and the lattice window cannot be removed. The inspector on the side flipped through the police notes, and the gap between the lattices was only five to six centimeters, so narrow that even a hand could not be stretched out. go in…”

“Oh…” Mumu nodded and pointed to the window opposite the lattice window, “Has the window over there been checked?”

“Yes,” replied the inspector, “that’s a fake window, just an ornament embedded in the wall, nothing unusual.”

“That’s weird,” Mu Mu squeezed his chin. “Where did the prisoner come in and where did he go out? The only door to get in and out was locked from the inside, and the door leading to the next door was nailed to death. Now, the gap in the lattice window above the door is so narrow that you can’t stretch a hand through it, and the window opposite the lattice window is just a fake window for decorations. It is impossible for the victim to open the door by herself, because she took sleeping pills, so this should be It’s an inaccessible room…”
