Conan's Almighty Extraction

Chapter 308 The Sneer of the Cursed Mask (4)

After hearing the reasons for holding the charity gala, Xiao Lan asked curiously, "Well, what happened to the maid who caused the accident?"

"She later committed suicide."

Holding a red wine glass, Lanchuan Fuyuya answered this question first, and explained calmly under the surprised eyes of everyone: "Because that person is my mother."

"Eh? She's your mother?" Everyone was very surprised, they didn't expect Lanchuan Fuyuya and Sufang Hongzi's maid to have such a relationship.

"My father passed away when I was very young. After my mother died, I have been living in relatives' homes. During that time, I suffered a lot."

Lan Chuan Dongya's eyes showed the color of reminiscence, and he looked at Su Fang Hongzi gratefully, and continued: "Fortunately, Teacher Su Fang helped me in various aspects later, and I was able to achieve what I am today, all thanks to the teacher's dedication to me. My cultivation."

"In the teacher's company, there are many orphans who lost their families due to traffic accidents like me, and the teacher has been doing his best to help those children who lost their families."

Hearing Lanchuan Fuyuya's tragic life experience, everyone present fell silent, and they couldn't help but feel sympathy for him, and they also admired Su Fanghongzi even more.

Su Fang Hongzi looked very indifferent, and said with a smile; "Fuyuya, don't say that, your mother has been taking care of my daily life, she is my most important friend, and she should take care of you."

"It's so touching!"

Mamoru Matsudaira clenched his hands moved and promised, "Ms. Su Fang, I will definitely do my best at the charity gala next week."

"Me too"

Katagiri Masaki looked at the wedding ring on his left ring finger, and said with sad eyes: "Actually, I also lost my wife in a car accident 20 years ago. This time, I can participate in the charity party hosted by Ms. Su Fang. My wife's spirit is in heaven." It must be very gratifying."

After hearing Masaki Katagiri's words, Masaaki Shiraiwa's eyes flashed brightly, and he looked at Masaki Katagiri and Fuyuya Aikawa slightly.

Aikawa Fuyuya's mother was killed by someone 20 years ago, and Masaki Katagiri's wife was also killed by someone 20 years ago. According to the conventional practice of Conan World, it is very likely that Aikawa Fuyuya's mother was the one who hit her. The perpetrator of the death of Masaki Katagiri's wife.

In this way, Masaki Katagiri has the motive to commit the crime, so this incident, it is likely that Masaki Katagiri is preparing to kill Aikawa Fuyuya, the son of the perpetrator, for revenge.

However, from Masaki Katagiri's eyes, Shiraiwa Maha didn't find any killing intent. I don't know if he hid it too well, or Shiraiwa Maha's own guess was wrong, but no matter what, Shiraiwa Maha decided to keep an eye on it as much as possible. He said again.

After dinner, Su Fang Hongzi had something to discuss with Mori Kogoro, and Shiraiwa Maha and the others followed the maids and sisters back to the Masquerade House to play with some of the entertainment facilities inside.

Ran and Conan played chess together, Shiraiwa Maha, Aikawa Fuyuya, Matsudaira Mamoru and Katagiri Masaki teamed up to play billiards, while Nagara Haruka and Inaba Kazuyo used tarot cards for divination.

……

In the study, Kogoro Moori and Hongzi Su Fang sat opposite each other, and Hongzi Su Fang asked directly: "Mr. Mao Li, I would like to ask you to investigate something for me."

As soon as Mori Kogoro heard the beginning, he interrupted with a confident face: "You don't need to say, you want me to find out the sender of that letter, right?"

"No," Su Fang Hongzi looked at Kogoro Mori speechlessly, and explained, "I want you to investigate Mrs. Katagiri's accident in detail."

"Uh"

Mori Kogoro, who guessed the wrong answer, scratched his head in embarrassment, and asked, "Why are you investigating this matter?"

"I just couldn't let go of what I heard." Su Fang Hongzi replied with twinkling eyes, as if she was not going to tell Moori Kogoro the real reason.

In order to prevent Mori Kogoro from continuing to delve deeper, Su Fang Hongzi quickly changed the subject and said, "After the matter is completed, I will give you 200 million for your hard work. What do you think?"

"200 million?! I will go through fire and water!" After hearing the amount of remuneration, Mori Kogoro immediately looked like a financial fan, and accepted Su Fanghongzi's commission without hesitation.

……

Masquerade.

Shiraiwa Maha, who was playing billiards with Aikawa Fuyuya, saw Mori Kogoro come back, hurriedly finished the current round of billiards, and walked over to ask him about his conversation with Sufang Hongzi.

After listening to Mori Kogoro's narration, Shiraiwa Maha stroked his chin thoughtfully, then lowered his voice and asked, "Uncle, why did Ms. Su Fang ask you to investigate that matter?"

"Eh, this one."

Mori Kogoro recovered from the stimulation of the money. He was embarrassed to say that he forgot to ask because of the remuneration, so he could only reply perfunctorily: "Don't worry about the reason, it's just investigating a car accident anyway."

Shiraiwa Maha curled his lips, knowing that there was nothing more to ask from Mori Kogoro, so he stopped asking about this matter.

Unknowingly, it was around 50:[-] in the evening, just as Mori Kogoro was about to show off his singing voice under the praise of Kazuyo Inaba, the maids and sisters interrupted him.

"I'm sorry to disturb everyone's elegant mood. According to the usual practice here, once it reaches twelve midnight, the door of the Mask House will be locked. At that time, the east and west rooms will not be able to communicate with each other, so please go back to the room to rest now. "

"Isn't it only twelve o'clock, so you have to rest so early?" Mori Kogoro said with some reluctance. After all, for most modern people, twelve o'clock in the middle of the night is still an active time.

Bai Yanzhenyu was also a little strange, and asked: "Is there any special reason for locking the door at twelve o'clock?"

"Because Xiao Bo's masks always like to play tricks, as long as it is past midnight, they will play around without authorization, so they should be locked in the mask house."

The maids and sisters Qiqi looked at Bai Yanmao, explained the reason for locking the door, and scared Xiaolan again.

"This is simply nonsense." Matsudaira swallowed nervously, although he said so, his eyes trembled slightly, revealing his true feelings.

"It's true. Every time after dawn, those masks will either tilt left or right, or fall directly to the ground. It has happened too many times in the past, so please everyone, now you can prepare to go back to your room to rest."

The maids and sisters looked very serious, obviously not joking with everyone anymore, and everyone returned to their rooms to rest in this weird atmosphere.
