Chapter 847: Unexplainable incident
The speaker dummy continued: "This is the family crest of the billionaire Karasuma Renya, who died unclearly about half a century ago."
"In addition to the tableware here, every door, floor, railing, and even the patterns of chess and playing cards in this mansion are all items he specially ordered."
"In other words, this entire mansion is a villa built by Karasuma Renya."
"However, these have become history 40 years ago. A tragic case once occurred in this mansion. The bloodstains of the martyrs everywhere in this mansion came from that time."
"On a night 40 years ago, this mansion once gathered celebrities from all walks of life in the political and economic circles to hold a secret meeting here."
"On the surface, it was to express condolences to Karasuma Renya, who passed away at the age of 99, but the essence of this memorial service was an auction for the art collection left by Karasuma Renya."
"The total number of items auctioned at that time exceeded 300, so the entire auction was expected to last for three days and three nights."
"Just on a stormy night on the second night, two men who were soaked all over suddenly came to this mansion."
"They said with trembling lips from the rain: We lost our way because of this storm. Before the storm ends, please let us stay here."
"The master of the auction originally wanted to refuse their request, but the man took out a bag of something unknown from his pocket and gave it to the organizer."
"It contained something like cigarettes. After the organizer smoked their cigarettes, he changed his mind for some reason and invited the two into the mansion."
"Other guests also accepted their bewitchment after seeing this scene. Not long after, the whole mansion was filled with a thick smell of smoke..."
The detectives' faces sank, and they all thought of a possibility in their brains.
The speaker dummy didn't pause and still told the story eloquently.
"At the beginning, there were auction guests arguing about these two sudden visitors, but the situation changed immediately."
"At this time, a man suddenly let out a scream like seeing a ghost, abandoned the art he had worked so hard to bid for, and ran wildly outside."
"And a woman, as if begging for someone's forgiveness, tears burst out and couldn't stop."
"And another man excitedly held a pen and kept stabbing his hand hard."
"In the end, all the guests began to snatch the art to be auctioned like crazy, and even used the famous swords and treasures to slash each other."
"The entire auction venue turned into a human hell."
"After this nightmare-like night, there were eight dead and more than a dozen guests in a coma at the auction. And the two men disappeared without a trace with all the art."
Akaso Kaze's face sank. Based on the story described by this speaker dummy, he thought of a possibility.
The madness in the auction venue is not necessarily caused by drugs.
And this story has an unexplainable bug.
First of all, judging from the bloodstains visible almost everywhere in this mansion, if the auction at that time really existed, it is impossible that only 8 people died; the casualties should be far more than this.
Secondly, it is impossible for two travelers to disappear with all 300+ pieces of art, unless someone helped them.
Finally, such a mansion built of gold, a bunch of people slashing with swords, actually did not damage the walls and did not discover the secrets in the walls, which is really impossible.
What's more, the dead were all celebrities and nobles. Even if the official was afraid of exposing the scandal and suppressed the matter, didn't their children come to investigate?
Even if they hired detectives, it is impossible not to discover the anomalies here.
There must be other reasons behind this incident.
At this time, the maid brought red tea to everyone according to the dinner steps and poured it for everyone one by one.
Akaso Kaze didn't drink it.
Seeing him not move, Kaitou Kid didn't dare to drink either.
The situation here today is very weird, giving him a bad premonition.
He decided to be a good little brother to Akaso Kaze.
Whatever Akaso Kaze does, he does; wherever Akaso Kaze goes, he goes.
So as not to get caught by mistake.
"... Now, you should all understand why I would use this mansion as the stage for this game?" The big speaker started talking again.
"My purpose is to let you detectives re-enact the tragic tragedy of 40 years ago."
"I want to see your ugly postures of snatching and even killing each other for treasure!"
"However, looking for treasure in this huge mansion is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I will give you a hint here."
"Two travelers in a hurry, looking up at the celestial phenomena at night; the devil descends on the castle; the king takes the treasure and runs away; the queen sheds tears and falls into the holy cup, praying for heaven's mercy; the soldier dies and commits suicide with a sword, the earth changes color..."
This hint looks somewhat similar to the story told by the speaker dummy just now, but it is a poetic version of the story.
But Akaso Kaze felt that the real clue hint should be this, and the story just now was fabricated based on this to set off the atmosphere. ===== CHAPTER 849 =====
