Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 556 The Beginning of Death

Koji Shimizu returned to the lounge and reunited with everyone, and then, led by the maid Ishihara, came to the restaurant entrance.

"The protagonist is finally going to show up~~." Mogi Haruki said with emotion.

"It's really exciting." Qianjian Jiangdai said.

Everyone else had almost the same thoughts, with the exception of Shimizu Koji. He was looking at the gate not far away, feeling a little strange.

However, he did not intend to alert others. There was no danger anyway. It would be better to wait and see how these people react and see if the possible mastermind was one of them.

“Oh, I have no appetite at all.”

As Xiaolan finished speaking, the maid in front of her just pushed open the door of the restaurant and said, "This is the restaurant."

The layout of the restaurant is also in typical European style. The wealthy people in the past were deeply influenced by European and American culture. In any larger mansion like this, the restaurant basically has a long meeting table, just like the banquets of European aristocrats. It looks very gorgeous, but in reality, the experience can only be described as average.

After all, when dining at this kind of table, not only can you only eat separately, but there is also a sense of distance, which is totally different from the warm feeling you get when dining at home.

The dining table is shaped like a "door", and each position has been carefully arranged, with red wine glasses, plates, napkins, knives and forks neatly placed.

But these are not the key points. As soon as the door of the restaurant opened, everyone's eyes turned to a person sitting in the main seat opposite, a masked man.

Yes, a masked man, with a wide cloak that completely covered his entire upper body, and you couldn't even tell whether he was sitting upright or backwards.

"Come on, what do you mean by dressing like this? Are you going to eat like this?"

The corner of Mogi Haruki's mouth twitched, and he took the lead in attacking.

However, the masked man ignored his meaning and just spoke slowly in a strange voice: "To the six famous detectives present, I sincerely welcome you to this Dusk Villa. Now, please take your seats."

"A guy who's playing tricks on me." Mogi Haruki raised his eyebrows and said coldly.

Kaito glanced at Shimizu Koji, who shook his head slightly. Then Kaito took Xiaolan and Conan to their seats under the arrangement of the maid.

Koji Shimizu's seat was arranged next to Conan. He and the Mori family of four sat on the left side, while the other five people including Hakuba Tan and Chima Kyouyo sat opposite them.

When they sat down, the masked man at the main seat spoke again: "The purpose of inviting you all here this time is mainly to hope that you can help me find the treasure that is currently hidden somewhere in this annex."

"It took me many years to get this wealth. Even if it costs me my life, I must find it!"

"? Fight for your life?"

Kaito couldn't help but wonder.

Before anyone could react, suddenly, there was a loud "bang", followed by several loud noises. Outside the villa where no one could see, several cars that had been parked safely under the platform at the door were now on fire in the rain, with thick smoke billowing.

"What's that sound?!"

"Don't get excited, I just want to block your way. By the way, at the same time, the suspension bridge on the way you came here should have fallen to the bottom of the cliff." "What?!" Xiaolan exclaimed, but unexpectedly, everyone else calmed down.

Even Mogi Haruki, who suddenly lost his beloved wife, was the same. But no matter how calm they were, everyone looked unhappy.

This was something that Shimizu Koji had not expected. He was even somewhat glad that he had come here in Maori Kogoro's car. Well, unlucky Maori Kogoro not only did not enjoy this luxurious dinner today, but also had to pay a large sum of money to the car rental company.
"Of course, there are no telephones here, let alone mobile phone base stations. If you want to seek help from outside, I'm afraid you can't do it."

"So, now if someone can find the treasure, I will not only give him half of it, but also tell him how to leave here. This is the rule of the game, I hope everyone will like it."

"Tsk~"

Hearing this, Shimizu Koji couldn't help but sneer out loud. How could this mastermind behind the scenes be so...clearly stupid even when threatening people?
In full view of everyone, Koji Shimizu stood up from his seat and walked slowly to the main seat. He was one step faster than Haruhi Mogi next to him and directly took off the masked man's cloak.

"Just a robot pretending to be a ghost."

"Eh?! What?" Still only Xiaolan covered her mouth and exclaimed.

Mature women like Ikumi Gunda are different. Like the other detectives, she seems to have expected this situation and doesn't seem surprised, but there are still some surprises.

"I never thought it would be such a troublesome thing. Treasure is unheard of. Would anyone really put the treasure in this modern mansion?" Qiangtian Yumi said quietly.

"This is too much, who is this person?!" Kaito started role-playing again.

"Oh, didn't the famous Mr. Kogoro Mori see it?" Ikumi Qiangda looked at Kaito jokingly.

"N-Nani?"

"Isn't it clearly stated in the invitation letter? God has abandoned the illusion of his son." Qianjian Jiangdai said.

"This sentence comes from the New Testament of the Bible, and it refers to the goats that are not blessed by God." Da Shang Zhushan took a sip of red wine and added.

Bai Ma put his hands on his chin, glanced at the recording robot that had been turned off, and said softly: "Goat is called goat in English, and the young of goat, which is the 'kid' used in the invitation letter, has another name."

"Kid." Shimizu Koji smiled slightly, his eyes teasing as he looked at Maori Kogoro, "It seems that the person behind the scenes is the Kaito Kid who has been in the limelight recently?"

On the way here, Kaito had already explained the message of the invitation letter to him, otherwise with his poor Japanese skills, he might not have been able to make the connection.

These detectives have twists and turns in their minds, and Koji Shimizu is indeed no match for them in some aspects.

“Ah!! Ho-ho!”

"Mr. Okami?!"

"Mr. Okami?!!!"

Death came unexpectedly and caught people off guard. Seeing Da Shang Zhu Shan strangling his neck and suddenly falling straight down, the detectives who had been relatively calm changed their expressions.
