Just see Conan and you will know this

Of course, Koizumi Akiko did not see that people would die according to Kexue's laws, but when she set out this morning, she confirmed that she would encounter the dead through crystal ball divination.

But Koizumi Hongko didn't know who the deceased was.

Kogoro Mori, who was standing aside, felt ashamed and helpless when he heard Koizumi's divination, and said embarrassedly: "This, this is too bad."

Photographer Masaki Tatsuki quickly set off a smooth move, "It's so cold here, I think you'd better go into the house first."

At this moment, the two main doors of the villa opened at the same time, and the twin maids walked out separately.

Shimokasa Honami: "Mr. Maori, your companions, and Mr. Qin, please enter the house and rest from the east entrance here."

Shimokaminaho: "Mr. Kataki, Mr. Matsuhira, Miss Nagara and Miss Koizumi please enter the house and rest from the west entrance here."

Matsuhira Mori said confused: "Why do you need to enter from both sides?"

The twin maids explained it in words and words like telepathy. The roughly means that the guests entering the east entrance live in the east wing, and the guests entering the west entrance live in the west wing.

"If this convention is not followed in this mansion."

"There will definitely be disaster afterwards."

Ran Maori and Matsuhira Matsu, who are usually superstitious, are a little scared and ask why this is the case.

The twin maids also answered their doubts in unison.

"Because this is the mansion where the curse mask lives."

It seemed to set off the horror atmosphere here. A crow living on the top of the villa suddenly took off at this time, making an ugly cry.

Following the customs of the countryside, under the leadership of Nami Shimokasa, Qin Zhibo and Maori's family entered the east entrance.

Qin Zhibo asked why he and Akiko Koizumi were companions, but were not separated from the room on the same side.

The maid's answer is that the "Hongko" in Koizumi Hongko's name is the same as the "Hongko" of Su Fang Hongko, so it is suitable for arrangement in the room on the west side.

"If you say so, does Teacher Su Fang live in the room on the west side?" Qin Zhibo added a clue.

“That’s right.”

As soon as he walked through the entrance, Qin Zhibo saw all kinds of masks placed on the walls on both sides of the corridor, white and red masks, and golden sun masks.

Here, almost every two meters there is a mask with a weird shape hanging on the wall.

The Maori family was surprised at how many masks were placed here, and the maid explained again: "Teacher Su Fang has always had the hobby of collecting masks."

"Please go here."

Qin Zhibo looked around the masks here, and there were no less than 30 pairs placed in this corridor alone. It would be difficult to confirm one by one with a magic extractor.

It was the right decision to bring Koizumi Hongko over here

Following the stairs, Qin Zhibo and Maori's family were taken to the Mask Hall by a maid.

When the white door of the Mask Room was pushed open, the white door opposite was pushed open, and it was Koizumi Hongko and others who entered from the west entrance.

Qin Zhibo instantly understood the internal structure of the room, and the east and west sides of the villa are connected by this masked hall.

At this time, Ran Mori bent down and looked at the mask in the glass cabinet, exclaiming: "Wow! It's amazing, there are so many masks here."

Just as Ran Mori admired, there are all kinds of masks displayed in the display cabinet here, including ordinary masks, animal half-face masks, leather masks, stone masks, wooden masks, gold masks, and silver masks.

About hundreds of masks are displayed here, and a mask museum is very good.

Everyone began to stroll in the mask hall and admired the masks here.

Qin Zhibo quietly walked to Hongzi Koizumi and asked in a low voice: "How is it? Do you have any clues?"

Koizumi Hongko was bent down and staring at a stone mask in the glass cabinet. After watching for a few seconds, she straightened her waist again.

"It's not clear yet."

“I need to cast magic to make sure if there is what you call a ‘pale mask’ here.”

"Then hurry up."

Qin Zhibo was a little anxious. After all, after the murder occurred, the place would probably be blocked by the police, and it would be inconvenient to do anything at that time.

"Fool."

Koizumi Hongko scolded Qin Zhibo, "I cannot be exposed because I have magic. If I use magic here, I will definitely be seen through by these people."

Qin Zhibo looked back at the people who were sightseeing around in the mask hall. It was indeed a bit difficult to end when using magic in front of them.

"But since you don't want to be exposed, why should you be angry with the fortune teller?"

Koizumi Hongko glanced at Chang Liangyao, who was admiring the half-faced animal mask not far away, and said proudly: "I just can't stand her half-baked divination."

"Oh, she has real skills?"

Although he was unwilling to admit it, Koizumi Akiko nodded, "That woman should have some inspiration."

"But she is still far from me."

Just as Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongko were whispering, Conan, as a curious young man, had successfully opened a new area for everyone.

Conan picked up the remote control on the table and pressed the "←→" button, and the curtain scattered on several walls in the masquerade room slowly opened.

The transmission shaft drives the dark red velvet to shrink to both sides, and pairs of pale masks are displayed on rows of racks.

Pale mask!

Qin Zhibo was attracted by these masks at first sight because the color of these masks was the very pure pale white.

The two corners of the mask are very narrow, which makes people easily recall the Asian eyes in the impression of Westerners, but it is a completely inhuman way.

There was no nose on the pale mask, and a mouth bent slightly upward like a crescent moon, revealing a arrogant sneer, which made the viewer feel terrified.

And there are hundreds of masks like this in the entire mask hall!

"What are these masks!?"

"Why are there so many?"

Everyone in the exhibition hall was surprised at the number of masks. At this time, a voice came from the door and answered everyone: "These are all Sauber's masks."

Everyone followed the voice and saw that it was Su Fanghongzi, the owner of the villa and the organizer of the charity party, stood at the door, with a female secretary wearing glasses next to her.

"You are Ms. Su Fang Hongko!" Kogoro Mori said in surprise.

"Everyone is here, it really makes my place shine." Su Fanghongzi walked towards everyone with a kind smile, "I wonder what you think? I feel that the most proud collection is OK."

The more normal aesthetic taste of Kogoro Mori scratched his head, and the smile on his face was a bit far-fetched, "What do you mean by this?"

However, Qin Zhibo came over and praised seriously: "The masks here really opened my eyes. Can you tell me about the origin of these masks?"

Conan beside him was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Qin Zhibo's aesthetic was so unique.

When Su Fanghongzi heard that someone was admiring her collection, she was a little happy and immediately introduced her with great enthusiasm.

"These masks are the two hundred masks that were legendary completed by the Spanish sculptor, Shaubel Dress, shortly before his death."

At this time, Changliangyao came over and added lightly: "It is also called the 'cursive mask' by the world."

"Well, there is also such a saying." Su Fanghongzi continued to introduce, "Saubr Dress is a sculptor with a tragedy. Although he is talented, he falls into a trap set by his brother who is jealous."

"In the end, his reputation and status, even his property was robbed."

"So Shawbr kept carving these masks with total despair for human nature, as if possessed by something."

"Just after he carved the 200th mask, he ended his life with a dagger. At that time, the masks scattered around his body were all stained with blood, just as if these masks were sucking his blood."

After hearing the backstory of this mortal gradually falling into a crazy place, Qin Zhibo felt that he was sure to win.

These masks should contain the "pale mask" required for the mission.

At this time, Nagaoyao continued to add: "Saubul's reputation was rehabilitated after his death, and these masks were scattered into the hands of different people, but these people ended up in tragedy."

"The general manager of a British bank accidentally fell off the cliff while riding a horse the day after getting one of the masks, and passed away from now on."

"There is another French jeweler who was attacked by robbers and eventually lost his life."

"Since then, it has been said that these masks suck the blood of their holders, and collectors around the world are afraid of it."

Ran Mori's shoulders trembled a little, and he shrank to Kogoro Mori and asked, "Then you have collected two hundred masks now? That won't be a problem!"

Su Fanghongzi smiled slightly and comforted: "Don't worry about this. I have invited a psychic with powerful magic to seal the curse of these masks."

After listening to this particularly extraordinary backstory, Conan subconsciously felt that he was talking nonsense.

But when I think of my previous experience, I feel like maybe it might be

Conan walked to the mask display stand, held his chin and stared at the mask on it, and suddenly discovered something.

This mask is actually somewhat similar to the one worn by "Baron Dark Night"

Could it be that my dad copied the look of this mask?

But after a closer look, Conan found that these masks were still somewhat different from the descriptions in Kudo Yusaku's book.

The mask of "Dark Night Baron" has a greater curvature of mouth and its eyes droops deeper.

Moreover, the gap between the eyes and mouth of this mask is too narrow and long, and there is no nose yet. It feels like what is designed is not for humans to wear.
