Chapter 341
Tottori Prefecture, mountainous area.
Akaso Kaze was driving on the mountain road.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed half the sky red, and the layered mountains gave people the illusion of having entered a primeval forest.
Few vehicles passed by on the winding mountain road.
As the sun set, the tree shadows were layered, inexplicably a bit eerie.
The sky darkened unknowingly, dark clouds covered the horizon, accompanied by thunder, and drizzling raindrops fell from the sky.
Although it was already dark, one could still vaguely see the large villa located on the edge of the cliff.
That should be Twilight Mansion.
Akaso Kaze suddenly stepped on the brakes.
A short old lady appeared on the road ahead at some point, holding an umbrella, with a pair of small round glasses on her nose.
She was wearing a suit and a hat, with the aura of a scholar.
"Sorry, my car suddenly won't start, so I'm waiting for someone to pass by here."
The old lady pointed forward, where a small white car was parked on the side of the road.
"You're also going to Twilight Mansion, right? Can you give me a ride?"
"Of course," Akaso Kaze let her get in the car, "Old lady, may I ask who you are?"
"My name is Senma Furuyo, I am a detective."
"Senma Furuyo, the detective who sits in a wheelchair and can easily solve a case just by listening to people talk about it?"
"You're right. When people get old, it's not very convenient to do anything."
Senma Furuyo was a bit proud.
"Young man, who are you?"
"My name is Akaso Kaze, an Onmyoji."
A gasp of surprise came from behind; Akaso Kaze looked in the rearview mirror, and Senma Furuyo's expression was very terrified.
"You are the strongest Onmyoji in Tokyo, known as the Bane of Evil, Lord Akaso? You, why did you come?"
Akaso Kaze raised an eyebrow and reached out to take out a card.
"I received an invitation."
Senma Furuyo took the invitation to look at it and muttered in disbelief: "How is it possible? How could this happen?"
Akaso Kaze frowned slightly.
Supposedly, this invitation should have been sent by this old lady, but she didn't send it to him.
Then who sent it?
The rain gradually grew heavier, and the night grew darker.
The car climbed to the top of the mountain and drove over a wooden bridge.
The villa gate was wide open, and a row of cars was parked in the parking lot.
Akaso Kaze got out of the car with an umbrella and looked up at the villa.
It felt eerie when looking from a distance, and now that he was close, the eerie atmosphere increased instead of decreasing.
No one could tell that this eerie villa was actually made of gold.
"Wow, so many expensive imported cars! Mercedes, Ferrari, and Porsche..."
A familiar voice suddenly came from the side.
Akaso Kaze turned his head and was startled.
It was actually Mouri Kogoro.
Mouri Kogoro wasn't strange, what was strange was that he actually came by himself.
"I am actually just an ordinary university student from the countryside with nothing special about me. Because of this, if I don't pretend to be rich, no one would be willing to be friends with me."
Akaso Kaze looked carefully and suddenly realized; it was Kaito Kid in disguise.
Seeing Akaso Kaze, Kaito Kid's smile suddenly stiffened.
This is over; I clearly asked the maid here, and she didn't invite Akaso Kaze, so why did he still come?
Don't see through me, don't see through me.
Seeing Kaito Kid's nervous appearance, Akaso Kaze's mouth curled up, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
Kaito Kid felt a chill in his heart.
It's over, I was recognized after all.
Kaito Kid was so scared he took two steps back and leaned against a car.
"Hey! Can you not touch my woman with your dirty hands?"
A man opened the car door and got out with an umbrella.
He was wearing a green suit, with a cigarette in his mouth, looking a bit like a playboy.
"For this spicy woman, it took me five years to get my hands on her. If other men touch her with dirty hands, I won't be able to handle it if she throws a tantrum."
"Ah, sorry, I'll be careful."
Kaito Kid said while keeping an eye on Akaso Kaze with his peripheral vision.
Seeing him turn his head away without any intention of exposing him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Long time no see, brother Mogi," Senma Furuyo greeted the man, "They invited you too, huh?"
"So it's big sister Senma, does that mean you also received an invitation?"
Kaito Kid was shocked 097, could this man be the famous detective Mogi Harufumi?
Akaso Kaze, Mouri Kogoro, Senma Furuyo, Mogi Harufumi...
The other party actually used my name to invite so many detectives, gathering so many detectives together; what is his purpose?
Several people walked to the door and knocked.
A maid opened the door to greet everyone, "It's Mr. Mouri, Mr. Mogi, and Ms. Senma, right? I have been waiting for you all for a long time. And this is?"
The maid looked at Akaso Kaze in confusion.
"I am Akaso Kaze, this is the invitation I received."
"Akaso Kaze?"
Mogi Harufumi was surprised, but that voice just now didn't come from him.
An eagle flew overhead, and Hakuba Saguru walked down the stairs inside the house.
He looked at Akaso Kaze with great surprise.
He had long heard of this Onmyoji.
It is said that Koizumi Akako has a close relationship with him, and the Kaito Kid he is obsessed with dealing with has been defeated by this Onmyoji several times, which makes Hakuba Saguru very unconvinced.
"I have seen many reports about you in the newspapers, but it's a pity we have never met. Today is a really good opportunity to have a reasoning duel with you."
Akaso Kaze glanced at Hakuba Saguru and said nothing.
This kind of childish high school detective really couldn't pique his interest.
To be honest, he couldn't even be bothered to deal with Kaito Kid now, as long as he didn't provoke him.
At this time, a pot-bellied middle-aged man walked over from the room and said to the maid: "You come here!"
"Coming." Seeing someone calling her, the maid apologized and ran over quickly.
"Who is this?" Kaito Kid asked.
"If I remember correctly, he is the gourmet detective, Oogami Shukuzen," Mogi Harufumi replied.
"I just went to the kitchen to take a look, and there's no one in the kitchen!" Oogami Shukuzen questioned the maid angrily.
"Sorry, the chef suddenly got sick and couldn't come to cook."
"What! I came all the way here for this dinner!"
"I'm really sorry, I've already bought all the necessary ingredients," the maid apologized repeatedly.
"Alright, you don't need to say anything! I'll have to cook myself! In this world, only gourmet food and murder cases can make my brain cells work fast."
Oogami Shukuzen pulled his tie unhappily and turned to go to the kitchen to cook.
"Sorry for neglecting everyone for so long!" Seeing Oogami Shukuzen leave, the maid hurriedly apologized to everyone.
Senma Furuyo was a bit impatient, "What does your master mean? Inviting us famous detectives here must be for something, right?"
"That's right, this detective invitation includes a total of nine of you."
