Chapter 1432 Things often happen when traveling

The maid still had a smile on her face, but for some reason, it seemed a little more scary at this time.

Facing Mouri Kogoro's inquiry, she shook her head and said:

"Master is studying in the study at this time. No one can disturb him. I can take some of you to the living room to rest first."

"Um...Sorry to trouble you."

As soon as Mouri Kogoro was about to agree, his arm was grabbed by Maori Lan, pulled to the corner, and whispered: "Dad! This place looks very weird at first glance. Please don't accept this commission. Let's go back!"

"What's the matter? Even though I'm here, I want to at least meet the client...and no detective would be scared away by the decoration of the client's home."

Mouri Kogoro muttered, and was about to give his daughter a few words of earnest advice, such as 'Don't be so timid', 'It took a lot of effort to drive here, even if it's for the commission fee, you can't just go back' and so on...

Although the specific amount was not discussed on the phone, the client said personally that as long as we can help him solve his difficulties, money is not a problem!

You must know that some time ago, he did not receive any commission to make money, and from time to time he encountered the kind of "where to go, there will be death" cases, it is time to make some money!

At this time, he suddenly heard the student named Gao Yuanyi next to him asking the maid:

"Buildings with thicker walls usually have skylights for lighting. Otherwise, even during the day, the indoor lights need to be kept on, but there is nothing above..."

Conan originally wanted to look left and right, but after struggling for a while and realizing that Mao Lilan was holding him tighter and tighter, he simply gave up resistance.

Rooms without carpets.

But if it were just like this, ordinary people would probably just find this statue funny when they see it. What really makes people feel weird are the weird protrusions specially carved on it.

Haha, the owner of this villa must have some kind of mental illness. Even if he is not sick and lives in such a place for a few years, he can still get sick... He really shouldn't find the uncle as a detective, but should

Find a psychiatrist.

He now felt that maybe Xiaolan was right. After seeing the client, it would be better to leave this place as soon as possible.

A chandelier about the size of a child's skull provided the lighting for the entire room.

How long exactly?

Have you lived here since you were a child? And then you have been working as a maid?

"Guests, please follow me."

Ye Gengyi stood in front of a very clean vase, with black hair and black clothes. He was reflected in it. Affected by the environment, even his gentle-looking face wearing glasses, at first glance, seemed

It was also eerily pale.

Before Conan could be surprised, Mouri Kogoro took a few steps back and couldn't help blurting out, "You... your master is a monster?!"

"No..." the maid smiled slightly.

Have you been watching for a long time?

Even I felt a bit depressed by the decoration when I walked into this villa. How old is this maid? She looks similar to Mao Lilan in appearance.

The maid pushed open the unlocked double doors.

Mouri Kogoro hesitated to speak, and finally laughed twice and stopped commenting.

The maid continued to look at everyone with a smile, as if the "no" she just said was the whole answer.

Below the waist of the statue, there is no python body or animal body in the traditional sense, but a strange oval base like a jar... From the side, it looks like a roly-poly? Or it comes out of a 'magic bottle'

The elf?

"But, putting the statue here, it still looks a bit... haha, it's nothing..."

At this point, combine it with the jar-like container below...

"You have misunderstood."

Because the half-human statue in the middle was too eye-catching, when passing by, Conan asked about the origin of this thing.

"But it's very strange. You built such a villa in a mountain and you still live in it. Didn't you feel scared at first?"

He temporarily suppressed the doubts that he might not get an answer if he asked this question, and looked around casually, observing the surrounding environment in detail.

Have my detective skills declined...

"This is the master's statue." said the maid.

The maid let a few people take a break, walked backwards, and closed the two doors carved with simple patterns.

To be honest, with his limited knowledge, he couldn't even identify what kind of gods, ghosts, and monsters this statue was based on.

Walking on the bright red carpet.

At the beginning of respecting people, nature is inherently evil? He also studied certain books and periodicals on a regular basis, fearing that he was not a rational lunatic... Ye Gengyi made a simple judgment.

The maid closed the heavy door and led the way onto the bright red carpet.

Conan made a gesture as if he was ready to listen to the reason.

Then... there is no more...

Black sofa, black tables and chairs.

Taking a lesson from the foyer, Ye Gengyi discovered as expected that there were indeed no windows in the living room.

The group of people came to the back of the statue. At the corner of the original sight, there was a staircase leading to the second floor. The lighted window that they saw outside the villa before should be a room above.

In this situation, forget about eating.

"What!?"

Conan: "..."

Conan slandered from the side.

His eyes swept over the half-human, half-monster statue, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

He looked up and said in an elegant and easy-going tone: "Don't you think it's boring to live here?"

The living room is on the other side of the stairs.

Ye Gengyi also sensibly did not mention coffee.

Conan finally broke free of Mao Lilan's arm that almost choked him. While gasping for breath, he asked "ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, while gasping for breath.

The maid kept the smile on her face, hesitated for a moment, and said without comment: "...Maybe it's because I've been watching it for a long time, and then I got used to it."

Ye Gengyi pretended to be stunned, as if he was just out of curiosity and had no deep meaning at all.

The maid's voice interrupted everyone's thoughts at the right time, "I didn't make it clear that this statue was carved by the craftsmen hired by the master to carve the 'self in my heart'."

It is densely packed, like the skin of a lizard, and like a group of solidified maggots. The closer you look, the more your scalp feels numb.

"So that's it..."

Everything looks dark.

The dark door panels were closed, and to the senses, it seemed as if the entire space had been cut off somewhere.

Mao Lilan was so scared that she subconsciously exerted force on her arms, making Conan in her arms painful and happy while trying to persuade her father again:

"Dad! It's really weird here, let's go!"
