Kitahara Sosuke looks at 'Moori Kogoro'.

——Are you venting all your resentment of being hunted by the White Horse Detective through someone else's identity?

After all, Japan is a country that pays great attention to the relationship between seniors and seniors. Although detectives mainly look at personal abilities, but as a young high school detective, Detective Hakuba has nothing to say when being criticized by seniors like Kogoro Mouri, so he can only laugh.

Laugh, actually I don’t really care.

He changed the subject and said: "However, what is hidden in this castle is not just unknown treasures. In contrast, what happened here forty years ago has been deliberately hidden for a long time and can only be passed down by word of mouth.

Tragedy interests me more."

"Sad, tragedy?" Mao Lilan pricked up her ears and asked: "What tragedy?"

The white horse detective looked at her and smiled, then looked at her father and said: "Maoli must have discovered it too, right? There is a bloody history all over this castle..."

Mouri Kogoro: “…?.?”

He didn't see it, but he couldn't tell.

"That's right." Motegi Harushi seemed not to feel the atmosphere between the two, and said directly: "When I saw those marks on the entrance door just now, I already felt my scalp was numb! That must have been a long time ago.

, the blood stain left after someone was shot."

"What?!" Mao Lilan's face suddenly turned pale when she thought that she had reached out to close the door before.

"And such marks are not only found on the door, but there are also blood stains running down the walls, and there are traces of blood dripping on the floor." Gunda Ikumi said: "This castle is full of such things, and not only

One or two people left behind."

Mao Lilan looked around nervously, but didn't see any blood.

Ikumi Gunada said: "Decades have passed, and the blood stains at that time looked like ordinary stains after wiping them, but as long as this..."

She took out a small bottle and sprayed a little on the wall. A small round spot suddenly showed blue fluorescence.

"Ah!" Mao Lilan exclaimed in surprise.

Motegi Harushi praised: "As expected of the former coroner, she actually carries the luminol reagent with her."

Mouri Kogoro said: "What on earth happened in this place?"

"Well..." Kithara Sosuke said, "I happen to know a little bit."

"Do you know that?" 'Moori Kogoro' complained.

"Well, I learned some relevant information before coming here."

Kitahara Sosuke's words made everyone look at him.

——Okay, now we all know that you have done a good job in preparation... Dashang Zhushan must be particularly regretful now, right?

Everyone can't tell what they are thinking now... Of course it's a good thing to get answers to questions immediately, but what they enjoy is the process of solving the mystery, and the fun of exploring the historical truth from clues, rather than being directly solved.

The reference answer is right in front of you!

But Mao Lilan didn't have the kind of enthusiasm for reasoning. She hurriedly asked: "What is going on, Kitahara-kun?"

"About forty years ago, the owner of the castle, Renya Karasuma, died mysteriously at the age of 99..."

When Kithara Sosuke said this, he paused slightly.

‘Died mysteriously’, ‘died mysteriously’, these are the sayings in the plot. When Kitahara Sosuke asked someone about the castle before he came, he heard similar words.

But isn’t it normal for an old man who is nearly 100 years old to die, no matter what the reason?

Did people at that time know that there was something wrong with Karasuma Renya's "death"?

His eyes flickered slightly, Kitahara Sosuke lowered his eyes and continued: "People held a [Karasuma Renye Memorial Service] here, and the people invited to attend were all celebrities in the political and economic circles at that time. But in fact, what they really held

It's an auction, and the auction items are various valuable works of art collected by Karasuma Renye during his lifetime..."

When watching anime in his previous life, Kitahara Sosuke only regarded this passage as a background story and didn't pay much attention to it. At most, he just thought it added a bizarre and psychedelic color to the story of the gathering of famous detectives.

Standing here now, looking back again, I realize what this story, which seems too long in the plot, is about.

When someone just dies, they happily eat and drink in their house, and put their entire life collection up for auction, just like a group of vultures feasting on the corpse. What is the difference between this kind of behavior and a disco on the grave?

Of course, if a person is really dead, no matter whether you are dancing on the grave or having a carnival in the cemetery, the dead person will not be able to lift the coffin board and jump out to protest. But the problem is that Karasuma Renya just faked his death and actually went underground to become a criminal organization.

The leader left, so wouldn’t it be a tragedy for those who participated in the auction?

Or think about it from another angle, this tragedy may not only be the revenge of Karasuma Renye, but starting from the auction, it is all the conspiracy of the leader of the dark organization. He used his own death and priceless collections to

Catching up many greedy political and economic celebrities, pocketing all their wealth, and taking the opportunity to push your own people to power can be said to be a sure-fire business.

Afterwards, when word spread about the tragedy in the castle, people only knew the two mysterious men whose names and whereabouts were unknown. Who could doubt the deceased Mr. Karasuma?

"Because there were many lots, the entire auction was expected to last three days. As a result, on the night of the second day, two men suddenly appeared who claimed to have been lost in the storm. They took out a mysterious leaf and persuaded the organizers and guests

Smoking it like a cigarette, the whole room was filled with smoke. Then everyone became insane, making all kinds of weird looks, and some people picked up the swords in the auction to kill each other. After one night, only

There were eight dead people and a dozen sleeping guests, while the two men and all the art had disappeared."

When Kitahara Sosuke tells a story, he naturally does not tell it as eloquently and vividly as in the plot. But the story itself has fascinating qualities, especially since it happened on the land beneath their feet and it has happened before.

A true story. Combined with the stains on the walls and floors, everything that happened in the past unfolds in everyone's minds like a scroll.

"That leaf...should be hemp, right?" Motegi Harushi said in a heavy tone.

"But why has such a serious case not been reported?" asked 'Moori Kogoro'.

"Maybe it's because of the identities of the participants." Senjian Yudai interrupted the topic and said: "Many of the guests that day were celebrities in the political and economic circles! Although they were also victims, they also participated in each other's affairs.

Fighting. If this kind of thing is exposed, it will not do them any good."

Kithara Sosuke looked at her.

He was the person in the room who paid the most attention to the old lady, so Kitahara Sosuke watched her from the moment she left to the time she returned.

"Perhaps those two men have this kind of wishful thinking!" Motegi Harushi said.

"What happened next?" Mao Lilan asked: "Were the two prisoners caught?"

Kithara Sosuke said: "No, they have disappeared without a trace since then and have never been traced again. It is said that the identities and names left by the two people were made up randomly, and the only real thing may be their appearance. But forty years have passed.

Now, things have changed and people have changed. Even if they sit face to face with the survivors at that time, I'm afraid they won't recognize each other."

In the silence, several people sighed.

Detectives and police officers will feel very helpless when encountering this kind of situation - so what if they find out the truth? Time has already wiped out all the evidence.

……………………

Because of Kitahara Sosuke's story, everyone lost interest in having fun. After the newly arrived people put down their luggage, they rested for a while in their respective rooms. Soon after, the maid came to inform everyone that they could go to the restaurant to eat.

The decoration of the restaurant is very gorgeous, with traces of time everywhere. The sides of the long dining table are already filled with tableware, but the inside is still empty.

Kitahara Sosuke first glanced at the end of the dining table - there was no guy in the plot wearing a weird purple cover with red eyes, and there were no name tags arranged in advance on the table. They had probably all been blessed by the boss.

It was put away. Then he glanced up again and saw the clock hanging above the fireplace directly opposite.

In the plot, Senma's archaeologist father and many scholars were invited to the castle by Renya Karasuma to find the treasure hidden in the castle. As a result, half a year later, there was still no progress in the treasure hunt.

The young Renya Karasuma lost his patience and began to kill the scholars in the museum one by one. Even though Senma's father solved the mystery, he could not escape death in the end, so he did not dare to do so.

Say it.

This was the first tragedy that happened in the castle.

The second incident was the tragedy at the auction after Karasuma Renye faked her death.

The third case was concocted by Senjian Ryodai and Ogami Zhushan. However, in the plot, only the malicious Ogami Zhushan was the only one who died. Compared with the previous two cases, it seems much inferior.

.

Judging from the number of dead, this case is not even as good as some of the daily serial murder cases that Conan often encounters. But Kitahara Sosuke always remembers that no matter whether it was the elder Zhu Shan or Senjian Shidai, they originally wanted to keep the castle inside.

Killed everyone except myself!

Explosions, guns, poison (drugs), mechanisms... This castle contains all the common murder elements. In the end, everyone was able to escape unscathed. On the one hand, it was because of the outstanding abilities of the detectives and the phantom thieves, their tacit cooperation, and early confirmation.

The identity of the murderer was revealed; on the other hand, because Qian Jian was demoted and they still needed the help of detectives to solve the mystery, they did not kill each other at first. Later, they just hoped that the detectives could kill each other under the pressure of death, and staged

A farce about "how ugly human nature is".

Although this idea is somewhat absurd, Kitahara Sosuke looked back carefully after receiving the mission and found that the danger this time was no less than any previous theatrical version.

Not to mention anything else, in this restaurant from the very beginning, Senjian Yoshiro had smeared poison on all the black tea cups - the plot said it was potassium cyanate, but I wish you all the best.

Judging from the bitter almond smell in the mouth after death, it should actually be the more toxic potassium cyanide.

Therefore, everyone except the maid was contaminated with the fatal poison, but only Ogami Shuzen liked to bite his nails when thinking, so he was poisoned and died. Senjian Shidai did not want to let Mouri Kogoro and Motegi Haruka

I accidentally took poison while smoking, and repeatedly emphasized in front of them that I hated the smell of smoke.

In the plot, her design was very successful. At first, everything went according to her expectations, and in the end, only Dashang Zhushan died. But in reality, wouldn't there be any surprises?

People who are really heavy smokers are actually not that restrained. Their respect for women is shown by avoiding other people when smoking, rather than not touching them at all.

In the plot of Mingke, cyanide seems to be a drug that is toxic only if swallowed, but in fact this drug can be absorbed by the human body through various channels, including skin, eyes, respiratory tract, etc. It has strong

It is irritating, and a solution with a relatively high concentration will corrode the skin. Therefore, even if you get a little bit on your hands, it will cause poisoning. Although it will not cause death, it must be dealt with immediately, and it will not be like in the plot where everyone can still carry it on their hands.

Potassium cyanide runs around without feeling anything. If someone rubs his eyes with hands contaminated with poison, the consequences are almost the same as inhalation. Even if it is not fatal, it will damage the retina and nerves.
