After Scotland prepared lunch, the three of them finished eating slowly.
Just left the apartment.
Driving a white BMW from Chablis to the Dusk Annex in Nagano Prefecture.
It took more than five hours of driving from Tokyo to Nagano Prefecture.
And it started to rain.
"There's no umbrella in the teacher's car..." Toru Amuro looked around the seats of the car.
"It's okay, by the time we get off the bus, the rain has stopped." Shuji Tsushima said slowly, looking at the scenery outside the window.
"Speaking of which, what happened to the car you drove into the river yesterday?" Midorikawa Mu suddenly asked.
"That car..." Tsushima Shuji's expression seemed to be lost in memories.
"I originally planned to sink with the car, but ended up being dragged out. The door was ripped off by the guy. It should have been salvaged," he recalled.
He was already prepared to sink quietly to the bottom with the car and rot together.
The other self dragged him out and dragged him all the way to the shore.
It's really annoying.
"It's better not to mention these unhappy things." He sighed.
After going around the winding mountain road up the mountain, and then passing the fork in the road, according to the "Dusk Annex" and "Karasuma Renya Residence" written on the signs, I chose to turn left and came to the front of the canyon.
The means of crossing the canyon is a suspension bridge.
wooden.
"Familiar layout, this bridge will be broken soon." Toru Amuro said while looking at the suspension bridge.
after all……
This happens almost every time.
and……
Destroyed methods are basically cut off by humans or set on fire.
"Should we inform Butler Tanaka to call in a helicopter and wait?" Midorikawa Mu suggested.
"Okay." Shuji Tsushima nodded.
Although the White Horse Detective is here, the other party can definitely call the police helicopter over.
But the thought of being squeezed in with other people...
Just forget it.
So Midorikawa Mu started sending messages to Butler Tanaka.
This kind of thing is usually done by Midorikawa Mu, because Butler Tanaka...
It was very unpleasant to look at Toru Amuro.
Although the other party's attitude towards Midorikawa Mu is a little better, it's not much better.
If he makes a call, once the call is connected, Midorikawa will inevitably face three consecutive questions about the death of Tanaka the butler.
"How is Master Xiuzhi?" "Can you take good care of Master Xiuzhi?" "When will Master Xiuzhi hand you over to me for training again?"
The three consecutive questions about the death of Butler Tanaka are on the same level as the Devil's Whisper in the minds of Amuro Toru and Midorikawa.
But if you send text messages, you won’t hear the triple question of death.
Butler Tanaka could only reply with two words.
[OK.]
"Okay, now even if the suspension bridge is broken or the car breaks down, you don't have to worry about not being able to go down the mountain." Midorikawa Mu turned off his phone.
As the car drove deeper, the plants became more and more lush.
A large iron gate appeared at the end of the road, and the car had already arrived at Dusk Villa.
If you look down from a high place, the Dusk Annex is a square building.
In the middle of the square is an open-air courtyard.
Typical British architectural style.
And very symmetrical.
There are divided parking spaces next to the bottom of the steps, and five cars are currently parked.
Toru Amuro parked his car next to five cars.
Mercedes, Ferrari, Porsche, and Alfa Romeo, and a... Toyota that is common in car rental agencies.
"It seems that a lot of people were invited." Toru Amuro said as he glanced at the cars.
"Let's go see our teammates." Tsushima Shuji got out of the car, with a smile on his face, and walked up the stairs nearby. The word "teammate" came out of his mouth very meaningfully.
"Dong dong dong." Toru Amuro knocked on the door with the knocker.
Door knockers are also called monster knockers, and the beast used here...
It's a crow.
"Excuse me, is this President Tsushima?" A woman wearing a black and white maid uniform opened the door, her voice sounded timid.
"Ah." Tsushima Shuji responded coldly.
"Please come in, the other guests have already arrived." The maid opened the door, stepped back and gave way.
As soon as you step in the door, you can observe the details that are everywhere in the house.
Crow decorations can be seen everywhere.
On the wall, on the table, on the chair, on the door, even on the handrail of the stairs.
It's everywhere.
"The crest of the Karasuma family." Shuji Tsushima raised his lips as he looked at the familiar emblem style.
"It seems that a lot of people died back then." Toru Amuro said after looking around the room.
In addition to the crow decorations that can be seen everywhere, there are also some... brown traces that look old.
It's like...dried blood.
These traces can be seen in the corners, walls, and even carpets of the entire hall.
"No wonder it's called the cursed house." Midorikawa said softly and quietly.
It is said that it passed through the hands of many people, why...
It still looks like it did back then and hasn’t changed at all?
Hasn't any buyer thought about renovating it?
"Except for Mr. Da Shang, all the other guests are in the entertainment room. Please allow me to take three of them there." The maid bowed and said.
"Sorry." Toru Amuro said with a friendly smile on his face.
No matter how you look at him, he is a cheerful and good person.
"This is what I should do." The maid lowered her head and looked a little scared.
Or rather...
Afraid of contact with people.
She buried her head and walked towards the entertainment room. Toru Amuro shrugged.
I was planning to get some information from the other party, but I didn't expect that the other party was a social terror.
"This is it." The maid opened the door to the entertainment room, stood at the door and bowed.
Shuji Tsushima, Toru Amuro and Mu Midorikawa walked into the entertainment room.
Others who had arrived early turned their attention to the door.
"Here you are, come play billiards with me." Hakuba Tan, wearing a Prussian blue suit, held a billiard cue, stood next to the billiard table, and waved to Shuji Tsushima.
It seems that Tsushima Shuji's appearance is not surprising at all.
After all, they had communicated last night.
"You really don't fit in with the crowd. Everyone else is playing poker." Shuji Tsushima walked towards the pool table and said slowly.
"Didn't you come to play billiards with me?" Bai Ma Tan smiled elegantly.
"Watson." Shuji Tsushima raised his hand.
The white horse detective's eagle landed on his arm.
"We meet again." He greeted the eagle.
The eagle on the arm nodded.
"We meet again. My master has been looking forward to meeting you today since last night." It said to Tsushima Shuji in eagle language that others could not understand.
"Is that so..." Shuji Tsushima touched the eagle's wings.
"Are you can't wait to lose?" He looked at Bai Ma Tan with a smile and said.
"It's just a billiards game, are you so determined to win?" Baima Tan leaned over and knocked three balls into the hole and said.
"I thought you wanted to compete with me." Tsushima Shuji put down his arm, and Watson flew to the side railing and stood there.
"No, at least we won't compete today." said the white horse detective.
