Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 550: Famous Detectives Gathered Together 1
Chima Kyouyo and Mogi Harufumi seemed to know each other, and Mouri Kogoro, who was transformed by Kaito, was also pulled into the small circle of famous detectives by them. The three of them walked and chatted while holding umbrellas. No one mentioned the invitation letter. It seemed that they just came here for vacation without any prior arrangement.

Xiaolan and Conan also followed them curiously, silently acting as a foil. Shimizu Koji did not join any of the small circles. He stayed at the end of the team alone, silently looking up at the villa which looked about ten stories high when viewed closely.

He seemed to be shocked by such a magnificent and luxurious building, like a little boy who had never seen the world, but Uramaru Renye's luxurious villas were actually built hundreds of years ago. No matter how luxurious they were, they could never compare with the luxurious palace in Tie's manor, which was more exaggerated than Buckingham Palace.

As everyone stepped out of the stairs, climbed onto the last platform, and finally arrived at the real gate of the villa, Shimizu Koji couldn't help but smile slightly.

interesting.

It was rare for him to have such thoughts, but the feeling that this luxurious villa brought to him, no, to be more precise, the feeling that some mysterious thing that existed in this luxurious villa brought to him, was simply two words, "interesting".

From a distance, it seemed as if it was about to swallow up the dark clouds, and the resentment and death energy almost condensed into substance. But when it got closer, it disappeared little by little, hiding as if it had never existed.

But for Koji Shimizu, who had already discovered them, he was sure that the thing had hidden itself on its own initiative. Could it be because it sensed his presence?
Those huge and heavy resentments and deathly auras are indeed terrifying. If they can directly harm people, I am afraid that just a flap of their wings would be enough to turn a person into a madman and cause him to die of a mental breakdown.

However, to Koji Shimizu, who has mastered the power at the soul level, it looks more like a sumptuous dinner. The spiritual energy in it is definitely enough to make his Sharingan go further, or even more.

Then let him come and see the secrets hidden in this house.

Koji Shimizu has a hunch that the invitation, the detective, and the various accidents that may occur in the future will be the key to uncovering the true face of the mysterious object.

It has been a long time since his intuition has been so clear. Shimizu Koji adjusted his mentality and gathered his mind, while Mogi Haruki, who was walking in front, also formally rang the doorbell of the villa.

Everyone put away their umbrellas and shook off the rain. After a while, the knocking sound stopped and everyone heard footsteps approaching the door.

With a creaky sound, the heavy wooden door made a noise that was not befitting of its luxurious appearance, but no one paid attention to it as everyone's attention was attracted by the maid who appeared at the door.

The maid was wearing a traditional black and white maid skirt. She looked quite young, probably only in her twenties. She had some freckles on her face and her appearance could only be described as average. She was far different from someone like Xiaolan. This was probably the second not-so-good-looking maid that Shimizu Koji had ever seen, besides Ohanajira Ori.

"Mr. Mogi, Mr. Mori, and Ms. Chiken, right? I have been waiting for you all for a long time. Please come in."

The maid glanced from left to right at the three detectives at the door one by one, then made way and gestured for them to come in.

She seemed to ignore the people behind Kogoro Mouri, but when Koji Shimizu and Ran passed by her, the maid still nodded politely.

There was nothing eye-catching inside the villa, at least for Koji Shimizu, it even seemed simple. Although it also had a high-ceilinged hall and double-sided solid wooden stairs, there was no gap without contrast.

The three detectives walking in front also looked up and scanned the hall. "Sure enough, it's like this in here too." Kaito said with emotion.

"Maybe it's a haunted house." Chikan Kyoudai added with a smile.

Mogi Harufu smiled slightly and was about to speak when the maid behind them closed the door and came up again, "Excuse me, can you put your umbrellas here at the door?"

"Oh, okay, is there anyone else here?" Everyone agreed, and Koji Shimizu put down his umbrella and spoke to the maid.

"Hi, Smith, excuse me for leaving you for a moment." The maid bowed slightly and then walked quickly into the hall.

Soon, everyone saw her walking out of a passage with a middle-aged man in a white suit, who was as big as Inspector Megure but had a rather rough face. "That person seems to be..." Mogi Harufumi stared.

"That gourmet detective." Kaito said calmly.

"The Great Lord wishes you well." Qianjian Jiangdai said.

"What?! You said the chef suddenly got seriously ill and couldn't come to cook?! That's not what we said at the beginning! I came all the way here just for this dinner."

Dashang Zhushan seemed to have had an argument with the maid. Of course, it was a one-sided argument on his part, and everyone thought that he was the owner of the villa, but now they gave up the idea.

It must be said that these detectives are all quite rich.

Koji Shimizu suddenly thought of the cars at the door. Combining this with Okami Zhushan's identity, it was not difficult to guess that most of the guests who arrived early in this house were also practitioners in the detective industry.

This doesn't seem right, does it? Shimizu Koji glanced at the back of 'Mouri Kogoro'.

How can I put it? It's really hard to describe. Who is the famous detective in Japan? How did Maori Kogoro live such a miserable life in a society where detectives are comparable to superstars?

Oh, gambling, that's okay.

"Um, I'm really sorry, but I've already bought all the ingredients."

"Okay, you don't have to say anything. Anyway, leave the kitchen to me. I will cook by myself." Da Shang Zhu Shan didn't intend to make things difficult for a maid. Although he was a little angry, he also saw the people gathered at the door.

However, he obviously had no intention of greeting everyone. He just took a look and turned to go upstairs.

The maid didn't expect this to happen. She looked at Maori Kogoro and the others apologetically and walked over quickly. "I'm really sorry for ignoring you guys."

But no one cared about this. Kaito, who played Maori Kogoro, interrupted the maid at the suggestion of Shimizu Koji, and said, "Um, maid, may I ask who is the owner of this place? And, you invited us here, so there must be something going on, right?"

"Um, Master. I'm sorry, I don't know how to answer this question, but this time we have six detectives, including you guys."

"Six people?!"

Obviously, such a generous sum was enough to surprise Xiaolan. After all, the commission fees of these detectives were not cheap. Even her father received a deposit of 200 million yen when he received the invitation letter.

"Hey, hey, that means, besides us, there are two more people coming?"

Mogi Haruki was obviously a little dissatisfied with this, because this was undoubtedly a provocation to their detective dignity.

"Hi, the other two are a lady and a boy."

"Boy? Is that Brother Heiji?"
