Great Swordsman Ke Xue
Chapter 554 The Calm Before the Storm
Conan's skill in pretending to be a child goes without saying, and he played back and forth with Watson, but Shimizu Koji's attention was no longer on this small episode.
His eyes swept across the people present and the entire hall of the villa without leaving a trace, and Shimizu Koji's eyes gradually became solemn.
Gone? Left? No, judging from the bloodstains at the scene, there is no doubt that this annex, where some indescribable events had occurred, was the source of the huge resentment. In any case, those resentments could not be separated from here.
However, if it was hidden, he would definitely not be able to feel it at all. Although Shimizu Koji had relatively little dealing with these things, he often practiced and studied his abilities on weekdays, such as visiting some famous shrines or temples.
He was very sure that his perception would not be wrong, unless that thing was hidden in a special place.
Shimizu Koji frowned secretly. If that was the case, things would inevitably become troublesome. Speaking of which, those resentments suddenly hid. Could it be because they sensed his presence?
It's not impossible. But if that was the case, it would mean
Hakuba Tan was embarrassed for a while, ignoring Walterson who had been confronted with NTR. He coughed lightly and straightened his tie, "But, speaking of which, being able to come to this tragedy that has been deliberately covered up for many years and could only be heard of in legends in the past means that the secret from more than 40 years ago is about to be revealed."
"Tragedy?"
"Secret!?"
Kaito and Xiaolan exclaimed, Shimizu Koji came back to his senses and looked over curiously. At the same time, he directly retracted the pupil power on Walterson. Conan was also curious about what Hakuba Tan said, and suddenly Walterson flapped his wings and flew away from his hand, scaring him to the ground.
Bai Ma Tan was relieved to see that Watson had finally become normal, and he put on a confident smile again, "This is not a place to talk. I'm sure you guys are tired from the journey, and you won't want to stand here all the time."
"Miss Maid, now that everyone is here, you should be able to prepare dinner for us, right?"
"Oh, okay, I understand."
After sending the maid away, Bai Ma Tan smiled slightly, and turned to look at everyone, "Everyone, go to the lounge on the second floor first, where you can drink some black tea or coffee, and relax our tense spirits."
No one objected, but Da Shang Zhu Shan did not follow everyone, but followed the maid to the kitchen.
The layout of the second floor is also simple and luxurious, but the same as the lobby on the first floor is that in some corners and places that are not easy to wipe, some blood stains can be clearly seen.
At this time, even Shimizu Koji couldn't help but become more curious about what happened in this annex in the past. This is indeed not as simple as one or two people.
The lounge is a leisure room that is at least the size of four or five ordinary bedrooms. After everyone walked in, Xiaolan led Conan to the sofa, and Gunda Ikumi went to make black tea for everyone.
At the invitation of Hakuba Tan, Mogi Harushi walked to a billiard table on the east side of the room. Maori Kogoro, also known as Kaito, was pulled to the side by Chikan Kyoudai to play chess. For a while, the atmosphere in the room was very relaxed and harmonious. Except for Shimizu Koji, everyone had something to do~.
It’s not that Shimizu Koji was deliberately ignored. Hakuba Tan was curious about his peer, the identity of Kudo Shinichi’s client, and what happened downstairs just now. Naturally, he also invited Shimizu Koji to play ball together, but Shimizu Koji refused.
Because, in addition to the chess and cards for leisure and entertainment in the lounge, there is something that Shimizu Koji pays more attention to, that is - the bookcase.
During the process of going upstairs, Hakuba Tan had already briefly answered everyone's doubts. More than 40 years ago, there were as many as hundreds of celebrities, nobles, and wealthy people gathered in this luxurious resort villa. Together with their servants and bodyguards, the number of people once exceeded 500. However, even this wealthy nobles, who were almost a small army, could never walk out after entering this villa.
And this is why Xiaolan now forced Conan to play poker with her.
The bookcase is very clean, with some books scattered on it. It is not ruled out that they were put there later, but from the fact that the bloodstains in this villa were wiped off so casually, Shimizu Koji is more willing to believe that this villa belonging to Karasuma Renya, despite the tragedy that happened, I am afraid that no police have visited it after the incident.
The traces of the past are naturally likely to be preserved.
But he was still disappointed. Although these books were stained with obvious blood, there was nothing worth noting. Shimizu Koji originally planned to see if there was any message before death.
"I'm a little curious, Hakuba-san, you said that the incident was deliberately concealed for many years. Didn't the police come here to investigate? Or, has the owner of this annex never appeared since then?"
Hearing Shimizu Koji's words, Hakuba, who had just scored a small ball, put away the club and his face was obviously stiff.
In fact, he learned the secret of this annex from Director Hakuba. At that time, no police had been here, and even his father was vague about many details. That was why he resolutely accepted this mysterious invitation despite his father's opposition.
"To be honest, I came here for this matter. As for the owner of this annex, Karasuma Renya."
Hakuba paused, "He was a super rich man who was active in the last century and was said to have the wealth to buy the entire Japan. However, he is dead, and even his funeral was held after that incident."
"And the entire Karasuma Group, with his death, inevitably declined and split."
Karamasuma Renya, this name made everyone present stunned, but even Conan was only surprised by his wealth and did not associate it with anything else.
Shimizu Koji was a little disappointed. He could also draw these conclusions based on the known information, even more detailed than Hakuba Tan, but he originally thought that this nobleman from the Metropolitan Police Department might have more clues.
"Karasuma Renya, this name sounds so weird and a little scary"
"Well, because Karasuma means crow"
Xiaolan and Conan chatted on the side. Shimizu Koji did not intend to tell Conan the true identity of Karasuma Renya. He nodded to Hakuba Tan and turned to the door.
"I'll take a walk in the villa."
