Chapter 401 The Villa of the Cursed MaskThe Villa of the Pale Mask ((4/4)
Qin Zhibo on the other side asked Koizumi Hongko: "Do you feel there are seals arranged by the psychic medium here?"
Koizumi Hongko shook her head firmly, "No."
Qin Zhibo guessed that after all, there are so many psychics who seek fame and reputation, most of them are just for psychological comfort.
At this time, Kogoro Mouri frowned and said to Aoko Su Fang: "But Ms. Su Fang, the evil thoughts of humans in the real world are probably more terrifying than any curse."
"I was blocked by a big tree on the way here just now, and this piece of paper was nailed to it."
Kogoro Mouri took out a threatening letter from his arms and showed it to everyone.
When others saw the threatening letter, they also said that they had received the same letter, including a rock singer named Rakawa Toshiya who arrived at the end.
He took out the letter from his hand and said that it was received by the company, and the contents were no different from other intimidation letters.
Kogoro Mouri reasoned: "The red word 'cursed' on this letter was in a newspaper ten days ago, which means that the person who sent the letter learned about the charity party ten days ago."
"Master Su Fang, who are the people who knew about this ten days ago?"
As soon as Maori Kogoro said this wonderful reasoning, he was objected by Ran Maori, "Dad! This is Mr. Qin's reasoning!"
Conan also nodded violently, "Yeah! Yeah!"
Kogoro Mouri pretended not to hear it, but was sighing in his heart why his daughter was turning her elbow out.
Su Fanghongzi glanced at the secretary behind him. The secretary looked at the people at the scene and said, "Except for the two detectives, the others present received the invitation ten days ago."
Using Qin Zhibo's reasoning to eliminate loneliness, Kogoro Mouri was a little unhappy.
In addition, what made Kogoro Mouri even more frustrated was that he received the invitation three days ago, which means that he is not a very important guest.
Fortunately, with Qin Zhihao as his company, Kogoro Mouri felt a little better.
At Su Fanghongzi's insistence, no one called the police and the banquet was held as usual.
"To be honest, you can agree so readily to attend this charity party hosted by me. I really thank everyone here."
Su Fang Hongzi raised her glass to toast. In addition to Ran Maori, Hongzi Koizumi and Conan, the other people also picked up the glasses to return to the toast.
During this period, Su Fanghongzi talked about her concept of holding a charity party to raise donations for children who lost their parents in a car accident.
This reminded Qin Zhibo of what Matsumoto Ryohei reminded him that there would be a shady scene in the charity evening held by Su Fang Hongzi.
Before anyone could tell the story, the female secretary said that the outside world criticized the charity party and was rumored.
"That's true. I have received a lot of intimidation letters since I was doing charity, and I've long been used to it."
"But I will continue to carry out charity firmly, like a lone brave man."
Su Fang Hongzi compared himself to the brave, which moved baseball player Matsuhisato very much, and immediately said that he would do his best.
As for what this effort is, the charity party is of course paying for it.
Photographer Masaki Takuki and rock singer Hiroya Rakawa also said that their wife and mother also died in a car accident, so they empathized with each other and would cooperate with each other.
After dinner, all the guests gathered in the entertainment room.
Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongko stood by the window and quietly discussed finding the pale mask.
"Those masks are too dense. If you want to find a specific one, you can only find a way to return to the mask hall." Koizumi Hongko analyzed with a quiet look on her face.
"Um"
Qin Zhibo was about to speak, but found that Conan was quietly approaching him from behind.
"Go! Go! Go"
Qin Zhibo waved his hand impatiently before rushing Conan, who was about to eavesdrop on the gossip.
"I can find a way to enter the mask hall at midnight."
"You have a way?" asked Akiko Koizumi.
"Well, that's right?" Qin Zhibo turned around and glanced at the twin maids standing at the door waiting for service, and looked up at the ceiling.
"If I'm right, you see that should be a ventilation duct, right?"
Koizumi Hongko looked at Qin Zhibo and saw a square iron grid on the ceiling.
Qin Zhibo continued: "I just saw the same grid in the mask hall and the corridor, which shows that the ventilation ducts in this villa should be well-connected."
"Really?"
"Only try it"
At this moment, Qin Zhibo felt that someone wanted to eavesdrop on him again. He immediately looked back and found that Su Fanghongzi's female secretary was standing behind.
"Mr. Qin, our president asks you to come here."
Following the secretary to Su Fanghongzi's exclusive rest room, Qin Zhibo saw a lot of trophys and masks again.
There are also here.
Su Fang Hongzi leaned gracefully on the armrest of the sofa, holding a red wine glass in her hand, making Qin Zhibo think that he was a young man who was about to sell his body to a rich woman.
Of course, Su Fanghongzi did not covet Qin Zhibo's young body, but instead took a fancy to Qin Zhibo's reasoning ability.
"Mr. Qin, I would like to ask you to help me investigate one thing, which is the car accident of Mrs. Kataki."
"I couldn't let go after hearing Mr. Kataki's deeds. After the matter was completed, I would like to give you a reward of 2 million yuan. What do you think?"
She originally planned to hand over the investigation of this matter to Kogoro Mouri, but after listening to Qin Zhibo's wonderful reasoning that Kogoro Mouri stolen, she temporarily changed her mind.
Qin Zhibo thought about it. It seemed that Masaki Kiriki did say that his wife died in a car accident on dinner just now, but because she was thinking about the pale mask, Qin Zhibo didn't care much.
But judging from Su Fanghongzi's concern that it would cost 2 million to investigate, this matter should not be simple.
Maybe it's the motivation.
"I've taken the entrust, but I don't want a 2 million yen reward."
"Oh?" Su Fanghongzi asked with a little puzzled expression, "What do you want?"
Qin Zhibo said seriously: "If I investigate this matter for you clearly, I would like to ask you to give me a mask in this villa."
