The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 231: The Villa Where the Cursed Mask Resides

"My name is Kasa Honami. Please ask Mr. Maori Kogoro and his family, as well as Mr. Hakuba's family, to follow me through the east entrance and enter the house to rest."

At the same time, the maid on the other side also made the same move.

"My name is Shimokasa Minaho. Please ask Mr. Katagiri Masanori, Mr. Matsumoto Mamoru, and Ms. Nagara Haruka to follow me through the west entrance and go into the house to rest."

“This, this is…”

Kogoro Mori asked his confused question again.

"Why do we have to go in in two parts?"

The straightforward Matsumoto Mamoru also asked immediately.

Shimokasa Minaho, who had just finished speaking, smiled and patiently answered the two people's questions again.

"Because the interior of this mansion is divided into two different parts, east and west. All guests who are arranged by the owner to stay in the west wing must enter from the west entrance."

On the other side, Shimokasa Honami also said,

"Any guest who is arranged by the host to stay in the east wing must enter from the east entrance."

She also added,

"This has been the rule of this mansion since it was built."

"If you don't follow the rules, you will suffer a disaster."

Shimokasa Honami's sinister words made everyone feel worried.

“Will they all end up in disaster?”

"Why, how could this happen?"

"Because this is the annex where the Cursed Mask lives!"

Shimokasa Minaho said the same thing.

Hearing the two twins speaking such eerie words, Sato Miwako couldn't help but pull on Hakuba Song's sleeve.

"A-Song, this, this won't be a problem, right?"

Miwako Sato said with a trembling voice.

There's no way, although Sato Miwako is a police officer who often regards herself as a man.

But, after all, she is still a girl!

Girls like her are actually most afraid of ghosts and monsters.

Plus this mansion, it looks weird no matter how you look at it.

The cursed mask, the terrifyingly identical twins, and the side rooms...

No matter how you think about it, this feels like a place where ghosts would appear in a horror novel!

"Okay, it's okay. It'll be fine."

Bai Ma Song gently patted her shoulder and comforted her,

"Look, Xiao Ai isn't afraid."

Forehead......

The first sentence of Baima Song is actually useless, but the second sentence is quite effective.

Miwako Sato lowered her head and saw that Haibara Ai still had a cold look on her face, and even looked at her speechlessly.

At this time, Huiyuan Ai also said casually,

"It's just nonsense. We have to believe in science."

This contrasting feeling immediately gave Sato Miwako courage.

Yes, if a seven-year-old elementary school student is not afraid, what is she afraid of?

At this time, after Bai Masong comforted Sato Miwako, he himself looked solemn.

Don't get me wrong, he's not afraid of anything.

Instead, he was thinking about the letter he saw on the road, the signature of which was the messenger of the cursed mask.

Although he believed that there was indeed magic in this world.

After all, he vaguely remembered that there was a witch among his brother's classmates.

However, this time, there will definitely be no magic involved.

Because this is Conan's original plot case, for the sake of reasoning, there will definitely be no supernatural power involved in Conan's cases.

Just as Hakuba Matsu was thinking this, Shimokasa Honami had already started calling Hakuba Matsu and Mori Kogoro and his group to follow her.

Bai Masong and others followed immediately.

After entering the annex, what you see is not how prosperous the annex is.

But a mask!

There are masks everywhere here!

"Teacher Sufang Hongzi has the habit of collecting masks, so there will be masks everywhere in this annex."

Shimokasa Honami explained to everyone.

The masks come in all shapes and sizes, some large, some small, some with abstract human faces, and some with animal faces.

There are small masks hanging on the walls and a large mask standing at the corner of the stairs.

After they walked up two flights of stairs, they arrived in front of a big door.

Shimokasa Honami introduced to everyone,

"This is the Mask Room."

As he spoke, he opened the door for everyone.

Hakuba Matsu, Maori Kogoro and others walked in and saw that the door opposite was opened at the same time.

Katagiri Masanori, Matsumoto Mamoru, and Nagara Haruka also walked in from the other side.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mori and others also understood.

So that's how it is. This room is the passage connecting the east and west pavilions.

The two sides looked at each other and began to focus their attention on the masks here.

The Mask Hall, the Mask Hall, is naturally mainly dedicated to the exhibition of masks.

Sufang Hongzi's collection of masks has basically reached a pathological level.

She placed various masks as decorations in various places in the villa.

At this time, the masks in this mask hall can be brought here for special exhibition, and they are naturally the best of the best!

For a moment, everyone was immersed in this ocean of masks, unable to extricate themselves.

At this time, the handy little Conan got a button and clicked it out of curiosity.

Then, a scene that shocked everyone appeared.

As the button was pressed, the red curtains on both sides of the mask room were pulled open, revealing countless white masks on two rows of shelves.

Xiaolan couldn't help but marvel.

"Why are there so many?"

Maori Kogoro couldn't help but ask,

"These things..."

"These are all fake faces of Shaubel." x2

Two voices sounded and answered Kogoro Mori's question.

Kogoro Mori could tell that one of them was said by Hakuba Matsu.

The other one is an old female voice...

He turned his head and saw two women standing at the door of the west wing.

One of them was older, probably in his sixties or seventies, and was wearing gorgeous red clothes.

The other person looked to be in his thirties or forties, following behind the person in front, behaving like a secretary.

Seeing the person coming, Maori Kogoro hurried forward to greet him.

"You must be Ms. Sufang Hongzi!"

Su Fang Hongzi also smiled at everyone, looking noble and kind.

"I am Su Fang Hongzi. It is a great honor for you all to come to my humble home!"

As he spoke, he also introduced the person behind him to everyone.

"This is my secretary, Ms. Inaba Kazuyo."
