Chapter 806 The title has been kidnapped again
Qianzhu got into the car with them with a faint smile on her face.
On the way to Tokyo, Chitake asked about the commission with some curiosity.
Conan, who was not in the office yesterday, also pricked up his ears to listen. He only found out this morning that Uncle Maori had received a commission.
Kuno Nayazuki told them everything carefully.
Qianzhu nodded in understanding, then stopped talking, closed his eyes and began to rest.
Conan, who was sitting next to him, began to think.
Until the car stopped at the address left by Okamura Ichiro, Maori Kogoro couldn't help but sigh through the car window, "Sure enough, the Yukawa family is also a wealthy and noble family."
He had called Ichiro Okamura in advance and said that he would come today to handle the case, so as soon as they stopped the car, they saw Ichiro Okamura running towards them.
"Mr. Mori!"
He extended his hand to Maori Kogoro who got out of the car and shook his hand. "The master is already waiting in the living room, please come with me."
"Okay, I'll trouble you then."
Kogoro Mouri handed the car keys to the servant next to him, and then followed Ichiro Okada into the mansion.
Qianzhu raised his eyes and looked around.
Although he had checked once to confirm the information given to him by Nishino Kazuya, it was only to learn about Yukawa Masaki and Yukawa Jiemi. And the last time he came to Tokyo to learn about the situation, the Yukawa couple lived in another villa, so he didn't know much about the environment of this house.
Before entering the house, Qianzhu paid special attention to the buildings here.
Most of the buildings are retro in style. There are only a few modern buildings, and in order not to affect the overall appearance, the only ones are only one or two stories high.
Qianzhu retracted his gaze and followed everyone into the living room.
Yukawa Masaki was wearing a kimono and kneeling beside the table. When he saw Kogoro Mori from behind, a smile appeared on his face and he extended his hand to invite him to sit down opposite him.
The others sat nearby and watched them chatting.
"Mr. Mori, I am truly grateful that you can take the time out of your busy schedule to come here!" Yukawa Masaki picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea. His face was rosy and glowing, and he didn't look like he was unable to sleep because of the haunted incident.
Kogoro Mori laughed out loud somewhat resentfully, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
How should I put it... He has been so idle lately that apart from eating, sleeping, drinking beer, he also bets on horse racing and playing billiard balls.
Kogoro Maori suppressed the inexplicable guilt in his heart, cleared his throat, and asked for details about the "ghost" incident.
Hearing his question, Yukawa Masaki sighed and replied in a deep voice:
"I'm also very curious about this matter. The maid at home always said that they could hear someone crying in the middle of the night this month. Even my wife said that she heard it, but she couldn't find the source of the crying. I only vaguely heard it the night before last. Because the sounds I heard on both nights were very similar, I suspected that someone was using recordings or something to scare people in secret."
Maori Kogoro nodded thoughtfully, "I see..."
"Because this crying sound always happens in the middle of the night, if it is convenient, why don't Mr. Mori and your child stay in the mansion for one night? This will also make it convenient for you, Mr. Mori, to investigate this matter." Yukawa Masaki suddenly thought of something and directly invited him.
Hearing this, Maori Kogoro hesitated, "Will this be too much trouble?"
"No way, besides, I have long heard of Mr. Maori's name. How about we have a drink together tonight? I also want to hear about the cases that Mr. Maori has solved in the past."
As they chatted, their topic shifted from the commission to other things, and they became more and more cheerful. During the conversation, Yukawa Masaki even asked someone to prepare rooms for Mouri Ran and others.
"..."
Mao Lilan: I just spent another night at someone else's house without knowing what was going on... ?
On the way to the room prepared by the servants for them, Kuno Nayazuki chuckled softly, "It seems that in some ways, Uncle Maori is still quite popular."
"Indeed." Qian Zhu responded with a smile, his eyes fell on the side courtyard, and a gleam of light flashed in his amber eyes.
It was almost noon now. After lunch was ready, the servant came to call them to go to the dining room to eat together.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the plump Yukawa Jiemei was already sitting at the main seat. She must have heard something from the servants a long time ago. She looked at Qianzhu and the others, smiled and nodded at them, then asked them to sit down.
They chatted casually, and soon Yukawa Masaki and Mori Kogoro appeared in the restaurant, and everyone started to eat.
Only at this moment did Mao Lilan realize that apart from them, the only people sitting down were the Yukawa couple.
Although she was a little curious, she didn't ask much.
After lunch, Yukawa Jiemi returned to her room, Yukawa Masaki continued to chat with Mori Kogoro, and Chitake and others wandered around the Yukawa house as a walk to digest the food after the meal.
After all, the case that Kogoro Mori needs to solve will not happen until the early hours of the morning, so they took a nap in the afternoon to prevent themselves from being too sleepy at night.
So after dinner in the evening, they stayed in the room, but neither of them went to sleep. Mao Lilan was even a little scared and curled up beside Kuno Nayazuki, holding her arms tightly with both hands.
Although she knew it was fake, it didn't stop her from being scared...
The night gradually became darker, and the time came to twelve o'clock in the morning. In the silence, a faint cry could be heard.
It sounded a little ethereal, not like the cry of a real person.
Mao Lilan shuddered all over instantly. While hugging Kuno Nanayoki tightly, she also did not forget to pull Conan over to give herself a sense of security.
Kuno Nayazuki patted her back gently and said in a warm voice, "Don't be afraid, it's just fake. Uncle Maori will catch this guy pretending to be a ghost later."
However, before Mao Lilan nodded, a piercing and sharp scream broke the silence, scaring her so much that she screamed.
Realizing something was wrong, Conan quickly got up and ran towards the direction where the shouting came from.
"Conan!"
When Kuno Nayazuki saw him running out, she called out to him, then quickly pulled Mouri Ran to follow.
When they arrived at the scene, they saw several maids standing in the corridor in front of the bathroom corner, with terrified faces.
There should have been no rooms at that location, but at this moment a passage appeared on the wall there, which seemed to lead to the basement.
