Chapter 44 The Mystery of the Sunset Mansion [Discovery Chapter]

I have been yearning, yearning, and wanting to get closer.

But without talent...

It really is... a sad and ridiculous thing...

What can I do if I can’t surpass it?

ah... so be it...

******

"Ah, it's really big..."

Oreki Houtarou looked around the mansion with his hands in his pockets expressionlessly, it seemed to be similar to the mansion seen on TV, a huge staircase leads to the second floor, and there are two doors on each side, which should lead to the back the passage of the room.

'Showa style? '

Houtarou Oreki frowned slightly, glanced at the Oreki Cranes around him in a daze, the boy put away a strange feeling in his heart, and muttered in his heart:

'There is a sense of incongruity, which is really uncomfortable. '

Slightly old-fashioned decoration style, the furniture inside is a bit nondescript combined with Western style and Japanese style, and there is a Showa style on the whole. Although it is close to modernity, there is always a sense of incongruity in the overall style of this mansion. a feeling of.

"The other guests are already here, please follow me."

Sachiko Ibuki showed them the way with a slight smile. The two introduced themselves when they were at the door just now. Sachiko and Sanichi are siblings, and they are the so-called descendants of the so-called rich as water who sent out this invitation.

"Excuse me, Mr. Zuoyi, are you also a puppeteer?"

Walking in the dark corridor, even though the wall lights on both sides are still dim, Fukube Satoshi's clear voice can have a clear echo in this corridor, Yi Kaizai, who was walking in front of Fukube Satoshi, slowed down and walked Satoshi Fukube laughed beside him:

"Me? I'm not."

Yi Chuizuoyi is a handsome man. He wears simple casual clothes, but his appearance gives people the feeling that he can wear a suit. He obviously looks like a cold and cold sportsman, but unexpectedly this The man loves to laugh, and the smile in his eyebrows is very gentle. The man pouted his mouth to signal to Sachiko Ibuki who was walking in the front, and then said to Satoshi Fukube:

"Sister Sachiko is a puppeteer, but I am not. Although we are the same age, we have taken completely different paths. After I graduated, I went to graduate school, while Sister Sachiko inherited the family business and became a puppeteer."

"Huh? You mean twins? What a coincidence, Houtaro."

Satoshi Fukube looked at Houtarou Oreki, but the dim light shone on the young man's face, which flickered on and off. Houtarou Oreki didn't have any special expression on his face, and he responded flatly. Monosyllable:

"Oh."

Twins are not uncommon.

The young man didn't think so.

"Hey, so you are twins, you really look alike."

Mao Lilan walked beside Zhemu Crane, she bent down slightly and smiled at Zhemu Crane, Zhemu Crane seemed a little dazed, the girl pouted and tilted her head and asked:

"Is it similar?"

At this moment, Mao Lilan was also stunned. She thought about it like a memory, and then nodded with certainty. The friendly smile was full of warmth:

"Well, it's very similar, well, it's not obvious on the outside, but you and Oreki-kun give people the feeling that they are very similar."

Dragon and phoenix twins are not as similar in appearance as egg twins. After all, they are fraternal twins. They are similar in hair color and eye color, but they will not guess that they are twins. Everyone in Mu Houtaro felt the similarity between the two, the same temperament, or the same nature.

"Aha, is it?"

After receiving Mao Lilan's affirmative answer, Zhe Muhe squinted his eyes and smiled. The girl's bright smile made Mao Lilan sigh inwardly:

so cute.

Oreki Crane with a slightly immature face, that beautiful face smiles like a delicate doll.

"Then are you really the offspring of Chongfeng Rushui?"

Houtarou Oreki's straightforward question stunned Ibuki for a moment, even Sachiko Ibuki, who was walking in the front, turned her head to look at him unexpectedly, but the boy just looked at the two of them calmly, as if he didn't feel anything What a strange question I asked myself.

"Aha, what a sharp question, boy."

Yi Chuanou suddenly laughed, Oreki Houtaro paused, blinked his eyes, and nodded slightly:

"Ah, sorry."

What a lazy apology!

"Hey! Kid, it's rude of you to ask like that!"

Mori Kogoro walked behind and suddenly yelled, startling the Oreki Crane walking in front of him. The girl shrugged her shoulders obviously, and stared ahead with her eyes wide open like a frightened rabbit. Seeing this, Mao Lilan immediately glared at Kogoro Moori:

"father!"

You scare people! !

In the eyes of a caring girl like Mao Lilan, Oreki Crane is like a small animal that needs to be cared for. She wants to protect her and make her happy. Just now, Oreki Crane's subconscious reaction completely poked at her. Hitting Mao Lilan's cute spot, Edogawa Conan heheed twice in his heart when he saw this, and couldn't help complaining in his heart:

Are you more rude?

But what Oreki Houtaro asked was also what Edogawa Conan wanted to ask:

"Ah, I want to know too~~Sister Sachiko~~Brother Kanaichi~~"

Edogawa Conan used his usual coquettish tone, and his sweet and greasy tone was completely stress-free.

"Asshole! Don't question Ms. Sachiko!!"

Mori Kogoro punched Edogawa Conan directly on the head.

'pain! '

"father!"

Mao Lilan hugged Edogawa Conan and stared at his father with dissatisfaction.

'Is this guy really a detective? '

Houtaro Oreki glanced behind him, seeing Mori Kogoro defending Sachiko Ibuki, he felt that he was just a perverted uncle who liked it simply because of his appearance...

Oreki Houtaro sighed weakly:

[He doesn't understand the taste of city people. 】

"Well, I can't give you an exact answer. After all, if we really want to say it, we are not the direct descendants of Chongfeng Rushui."

Yi Chuizuoyi's answer surprised everyone.

"What does this mean?"

Fukube Satoshi asked curiously, he seemed to be asking this question on behalf of everyone.

"Ah, in our family, my mother is a puppeteer, and my grandmother is also a puppeteer. We took over from my grandmother's craftsmanship. It seems that my grandmother's great-grandfather was Chongfeng Rushui, and my father was married, so our surname is Ibuki, and my grandmother got married. The former surname is still Chongfeng."

"Ah, don't tell me, is your grandma Miss Ibuki Misako?"

Conan Edogawa's question surprised Yi Chuizao, and nodded belatedly:

"Hey? Yeah, how do you know?"

"Ibuki Misako?"

As an Oreki Crane that even Tsuruga Ren doesn’t know, of course he doesn’t know anything about Ibuki Misako. Edogawa Conan explained the Oreki Crane’s confusion:

"Sister Crane, Misako Ibuki was a well-known puppeteer in the 70s and 300s. Unlike mechanical dolls, Misako Ibuki's dolls belonged to human-shaped dolls. They were very popular at that time. It is said that a doll could be auctioned at that time. The price is as high as 4000 million yen, and the market price of Mr. Ibuki Misako’s doll can reach [-] million yen at auction now.”

"Four, 4000 million?!!"

Mori Kogoro screamed, and he broke it with his fingers, with an incredible expression on his face:

"It has risen so much?!"

"what……"

Yi Chuizuo gave a wry smile, and the man's handsome expression was somewhat helpless:

"After all, it is the only posthumous work left, and it is a rare item."

"Posthum? Ibuki-sensei passed away?"

Edogawa Conan frowned and asked, there was no news at all before. If a master like Ibuki Misako passed away, the media would definitely report it.

"Grandma has been missing for 25 years. No matter what, she has been declared dead. It's just that the family members don't believe her and think she is still alive."

Saying that, Yi Chuizuo smiled wryly, more like mocking:

"After all, grandma is the only person who has inherited Chongfengrushui's craftsmanship so far. The rest of us are either not capable enough or have no talent. No matter what, they can't reach grandma's level, let alone Chongfengrushui. .”

"Thank you for knowing, the master who has been missing for 25 years, and watched it on TV again?"

Mori Kogoro hummed twice, Edogawa Conan twitched his lips, and replied dryly:

"Ahaha, I heard it from Brother Xinyi, and Brother Xinyi heard it from his father."

Indeed, Yusaku Kudo knew about Misako Ibuki, or the two knew each other. At that time, Yusaku Kudo visited Misako Ibuki as a source of material for writing a story about the puppet murder case in the novel. The famous puppet master at that time , Kudo Yusaku also saw the powerful puppet skills, and then Kudo Yusaku went back and Kudo Shinichi also mentioned this master, and said that he had met various masters with unique skills, but he could remember There are two people who are deeply impressed, one is the magician Kuroba Robichi, and the other is the puppeteer Misako Ibuki.

Today, both masters have passed away.

No, missing.

"Hey~ Puppet Master~ What a pity, I really want to see it."

Satoshi Fukube shrugged his shoulders in regret, Houtaro Oreki raised his eyebrows and complained silently:

There are too many regrettable things in this world, and you cannot realize them one by one. Accept the reality, Satoshi.

"Houtaro, don't you want to see it? Puppet skills?"

"I?"

Just when Oreki Houtaro was about to say that he didn't really think about it, he saw Yikuiza looking at him with a fascinated smile. The boy swallowed, and he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. Don't overdo it and think slowly about what you want to say:

"Ah... I, uh, I have great respect for craftsmen with ingenuity..."

"……puff!"

Houtaro has a reluctant expression on his face!

After walking through the long corridor, you come to a spacious hall. It seems that the hall you just entered is just the so-called front hall. This hall has a high space, and the gorgeous lamps on the ceiling are eye-catching. There were already people waiting there, about six or seven people gathered around the long table, not knowing what they were doing.

"Let me see, what are you doing?"

Mori Kogoro walked over curiously, the crowd in front of him gave up the gap to allow them to see the situation clearly, only to see a man sitting on a chair with his eyes covered by a belt, and another person standing in front of him Holding a wallet in his hand, at this moment, a sharp female voice sounded:

"Come on, please tell me, what is Kaga-san holding in his hand?"

The one who spoke was the long-haired woman standing by the chair. She was wearing a red dress, and the flaming lipstick on her lips was more attractive than her face. The man sitting on the seat tilted his head and replied calmly:

"wallet."

The man named Kaga raised his eyebrows in surprise. He immediately put away his wallet and took out the key from his pocket. The woman smiled and said:

"Oh, Mr. Kaga changed another thing, tell me, what does Mr. Kaga have?"

"key."

Mr. Kaga was guessed right again, he said with a stiff expression but dryly:

"Ms. Fujimura is really amazing."

"Teacher Fujimura?"

Mori Kogoro asked the person next to him suspiciously, and the person answered him in a low voice:

"Fujimura Wu, it is said that he is a master of mind reading. Mr. Kaga doesn't believe in Fujimura's ability, so he is testing."

'Mind reading? '

Oreki Houtaro raised his eyebrows, and shrugged his shoulders slightly: You're lying.

"Oh? Really? Let me try!"

As Kogoro Mouri walked over, Kogoro Moori didn't know what to ask the other party to guess, so he took out his lighter from his pocket. The woman continued to show that playful smile and said loudly:

"Teacher Fujimura, come and guess what this gentleman has in his hand?"

"Well... a lighter."

"?!"

Mori Kogoro looked at the lighter in his hand in surprise, and then at the man on the seat, is it real or not?

Thinking that he took out his wallet again, the woman asked casually:

"Tell me, what did he come up with?"

"wallet."

"?!!"

Mori Kogoro became convinced now, he took a step back and said in a panic:

"Really, is it really mind reading?! Then tell me, what's on my mind right now?"

"..."

Fujimura was silent for a moment, then responded with a chuckle, "You're not thinking about anything now."

"!!!"

Mori Kogoro couldn't bear to look at the exaggerated expression, Oreki Houtaro silently looked away and remained silent.

"It really reads minds!?"

At the same time, Satoshi Fukube and Mori Ran asked in unison, both of them were curious and interested, but they were standing some distance away, neither of them realized that they asked the same question Question, Conan standing next to Mori Ran looked at Fujimura blankly, and Houtarou Oreki standing next to Fukube Satoshi was also blank...in a daze.

"..."

Houtarou Oreki didn't speak, but Satoshi Fukube knew the meaning of his expression, the boy smiled meaningfully:

"What does Houtarou's expression mean?"

"..."

Fukube Rishi saw that Oreki Houtarou didn't speak, he looked at Oreki Crane who was looking around:

"Ah He wants to know."

"Huh? I don't really want to."

The girl was not interested at all, and she answered neatly. The corner of Satoshi Fukube's mouth twitched, and he sighed helplessly:

"Azuru, you are a little bit curious, it must be Houtarou's negativity that infected you."

"Why do you think I'm like a virus? What's wrong with energy conservationism?"

Houtarou Oreki retorted angrily, don't speak ill of him in front of Tsuru!

"..."

Houtarou Oreki touched the back of his neck, as if he could not justify Satoshi Fukube, he looked at Oreki Crane, and after getting a smile from the girl, he turned his head to look at Fujimura on the chair, Oreki Houtaro Ki slowly closed his eyelids, and said in a calm voice:

"It can't be called mind reading, it's just a skill."

"Hey?"

"Well?"

"Fujimura's eyes were blindfolded and he couldn't see anything, so the woman acted as an assistant to give him hints."

"hint?"

Fukube Satoshi recalled it, hint?Where is the hint?

Oreki Houtarou didn't want to say a long paragraph, he pursed his lips, and answered resignedly:

"When you say please tell me, it means the wallet. When you say tell me, it means the key. When you say guess it, it means the lighter. This is the reminder."

Fukube nodded knowingly, but he asked other questions:

"But that's part of it. What if someone asks for something else? Like a cigarette or a watch?"

"Then there will be other hints. There must be many well-prepared guide words as language. However, in such a limited place, most people will not take things from their bags, but only choose things from their bodies to guess. In this way In the beginning, the scope was narrowed down. There are only a few things that are not unexpected on men, such as wallets, keys, lighters, cigarettes, and coins. If it is a woman, I am afraid there are various countermeasures, such as rings, bracelets, etc. Of course, These assistants will take the first look and choose the person who is the easiest to guess."

"Then what if some people carry too much stuff?"

"Then just say that the master has a time limit for reading mind or is already very tired, and just refuse."

"I see, it's like a code, as expected of Houtarou!"

"Satisfied your curiosity?"

"Satisfied and satisfied!"

"Oh! My Houtaro is really powerful!"

Oreki Crane threw himself on Oreki Houtaro's back, the boy staggered a bit, and then supported Oreki Crane's body, Oreki Houtaro couldn't help but softly shouted to Oreki Crane:

"Ahe, don't rush over suddenly!!"

"Hey, can't you?"

The girl pursed her mouth in disappointment, and tightly hugged Houtaro Oreki's arm. Hearing Houtarou Oreki's lost voice, Houtaro Oreki who was about to say 'it will be dangerous' immediately closed his mouth, and he frowned. Frowning, gritted his teeth to deny what he said just now:

"Ah... yes, it's not impossible."

Oreki Houtarou's eyes drifted away, and finally, the boy sighed helplessly:

'Let her go, just catch her. '

******

"The phone you dialed is out of service area or has been turned off, temporarily unavailable..."

Heiwei frowned and put down the phone, the call still couldn't get through...

Where the hell did Ah He go?

******

"The phone you dialed is out of service area or has been turned off, temporarily unavailable..."

The same answer, answering again and again, Miyamura Isumi turned over and looked at his mobile phone screen quietly, his fingers subconsciously pointed to the email, and he didn't know the email sent to Oreki Crane for a while. What to send, Miyamura sighed weakly, he was a little lost in thought, and when he came back to his senses, he found that a sentence had been subconsciously typed in the email.

【I miss you so much……】

"!!!"

Miyamura's face immediately turned red, and he sat up abruptly, trying to delete the email in a panic.

"Beep-"

【Sent successfully! 】

"=mouth=!!!!!!"

Miyamura was stunned, and after a long time he let out a panicked shout:

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

Oh my god, it's been sent out! ! ! ! !

What the hell, what to do! ! ! ! ! !

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Miyamura felt a little hopeless, the boy knelt on the bed and was about to cry in panic.

"Yi Cheng! You are so noisy!!!"

Miyamura Mama who was in the kitchen couldn't help but yelled at Miyamura's room, but Miyamura had no intention of responding.

"Sent, sent it..."

gosh...

How to do! !

If Ah He sees...

The boy imagined Oreki Crane's reaction after seeing it...

Picture the bad picture...

a: The girl looked surprised and said in shock with an unbelievable expression:

[I regard you as a good friend, but you miss me?I didn't expect you to be such a Miyamura! 】

b: The girl was a little hesitant, but she still said:

【Sorry, I have always regarded you as a friend, I...】

c: The girl looked at him indifferently, showing a sarcastic smile:

【Ah……】

Wait, what the hell is c? ! !

He can't accept either of qaq's endings.

"..."

Miyamura curled up and put the phone on the other side of the bed, as if the phone would explode, he waited for Oreki Tsuru's reply, although he didn't know how the other party would react when he saw this email after receiving a signal...

Wait, should I rescue it...

Like I made a mistake?

qaq The fact that I have very few friends is so sad.

So for example... playing truth or dare with someone, so it was posted because of Dare?

qaq I have very few friends, who do I play with!

Miyamura Isumi bent forward on the bed in frustration, and then...

He had a nightmare.

Dreamed... the scene after he went to high school, he had many friends and many people around him, but...

There is no more Oreki Crane.

Miyamura was awakened, he measured his forehead with the back of his hand, it was slightly cold, Miyamura couldn't help but smiled wryly, but recalling this dream made him too scared to close his eyes again.

[The dream without Ah He is so scary. 】
