To thank him for his help last time, Atobe Keigo invited Detective Mori's family to go on a holiday.
However, under Satsuki Itō's suggestion, he did not go with them. Instead, he asked Satsuki Itō to replace him.
Atobe had prepared a car for them. With regards to the driver, he was considering who to send. After all, Detective Mori was still used to him driving.
Atobe Keigo did not force the issue.
"Dad!
Did you go the wrong way again?! "
In the end, Miss Mauliland had a speechless look on her face as she complained about her father, who had just vowed not long ago that they would never go wrong.
Mōri Kogoro was also staring at the map nervously.
He was so energetic that he almost plunged his head in.
Then he began to sweat profusely.
However, he still didn't give up and said, "It should be this path."
Mauliland was even more speechless.
Conan Edogawa also revealed his half-moon eyes.
They shouldn't have taken a shortcut just now. There was almost no sign of human habitation.
The sky was already dark, and the surroundings were very quiet. Only the occasional chirping of insects on the trees on both sides could be heard.
Driving in such a place always gave one a very uneasy feeling.
Not long after, they encountered another difficult problem.
While they were trying to figure out how to find the main road, they unknowingly ran out of gas.
He didn't see any gas stations nearby.
Am I going to spend the night in the car?
Just as they were thinking about this, they were lucky enough to find a villa not far ahead.
They immediately went over to ask the owner if they could stay there for the night.
The owner of the villa agreed to their request.
However, the moment she stepped into the courtyard, Mao Lilan felt a bone-chilling sensation from the bottom of her heart.
She couldn't help but grab the corner of her father's clothes.
When the door opened and they walked into the house.
They saw many eyes staring at them in the dim light.
Mauliland couldn't help but scream.
Following the scream, the lights in the room were turned on, illuminating the room as if it was daytime.
Conan looked around.
They discovered that Satsuki Itō was following them.
Her hand was still on the switch.
At this moment, the father and daughter finally realized what it was.
Detective Maori commented without any sense of nervousness.
"What?
So it's just some dolls. "Mauliland smiled awkwardly.
The butler who had brought them in looked at them apologetically.
"I'm sorry.
My master is watching the puppet show in the room over there.
At times like this, he usually asks us to turn off the lights. "
"Then can we open it like this?" Mauliland was a little nervous and a little embarrassed.
The old butler looked in that direction.
Then he put on a casual expression.
"It should be over by now."
It was indeed over.
Soon, the lights on the other side were turned on.
The old butler was going to take them to meet the owner of the house.
Mao Lilan agreed that this was indeed the case.
The few of them had just walked into the house. It should have been an antique lobby.
Satsuki Itō. Conan even saw a familiar face.
Tachizuo Jin was standing there shyly, talking to the owner about something.
"You're not from that time …" Mōri Kogoro also remembered him.
The detective on Miki Island.
Mōri Kogoro actually didn't like meeting detectives.
It was probably because of the competition between peers!
But he didn't dislike Tachizuo Jin.
It was all thanks to him speaking up for him the first time they met.
"You know each other?" The owner was surprised.
There was also a lot of admiration on his face.
"What a wonderful performance." The owner didn't forget to continue praising.
"I'm so lucky to be able to invite the head of the Tachizuo family here today!"
The owner of the house was still talking excitedly. The girl behind him was almost asleep.
Her yawn didn't stop.
Even the man beside her seemed to be holding back something.
"Eh?
You're that 'Sleeping Kogoro'? "The girl's eyes immediately lit up when she heard their name.
His drowsiness had completely disappeared at this moment.
The two men looked at each other.
"Haha." Mōri Kogoro immediately pretended to be serious.
He tidied up his clothes and straightened his body. "That's right.
It's me.
The famous detective Mōri Kogoro. "
The family's surname was Okamoto. The owner was called Okamoto Nobutake.
The man behind him was his eldest son, Okamoto Masayoshi.
The girl was his youngest daughter, Okamoto Yumi.
His wife, Okamoto Rika, went back to her room to rest because she wasn't feeling well.
There were enough guest rooms in the villa. Everyone had their own room.
Satsuki Itō chose the room closest to the stairs on the second floor.
Then it was Conan, Mauliland, and finally Mōri Kogoro.
Tachizuo Jin was close because the owner wanted to talk to him about a lot of things.
So he arranged for him to stay on the same floor as them.
In the middle of the night, there was a sound of something falling on the ground.
Tachizuo Jin and Conan Edogawa heard the sound and came out.
Among them, Conan was still sleepy.
The owner of the house was also woken up by the sound.
No one knew what was going on.
The three of them looked at each other. Just as they were about to go back to sleep, the door opened.
"Eh?
Why is mom's door open? "Okamoto Masayoshi was the first to speak. He walked over.
But he found that his mother wasn't there.
Her favorite vase on the table was also lying on the ground.
At this time, Conan also ran downstairs. He stopped at the door of the room and looked at the floor.
He ran into the house. Without any hesitation, he lifted the quilt that had fallen to the ground.
There was nothing under the quilt.
No.
It was covered by the original quilt. The wooden floor showed signs of being scratched.
Not only that, there were two broken fingernails and some blood stains.
"Call the police!" Conan's expression was very serious.
The owner of the house was dragged out by force.
Okamoto Youmi was fine.
The Okamoto father and son's expressions were a bit frightened.
Noticing this, Conan felt that they might know something.
Tachizuo Jin, who arrived after him, also had the same idea.
While Okamoto Youmi went out to make a call, the Okamoto father and son looked at each other and finally made a decision.
"Can you ask detective Maori to come over?" Okamoto Masayoshi said to little Conan Edogawa.
Mōri Kogoro was sleeping soundly.
After Mauliland woke up, he was finally woken up with her help.
But fortunately, he entered the state in a short time.
If this could be considered a state.
"This is a haunted house." Okamoto Masayoshi drank some water and finally said slowly.
"I once heard from the neighbor that the people who live here would always mysteriously disappear."
"I didn't believe it at first.
Father was the same.
'This is probably a lie they made up to make us give up this house.' That's what we thought.
But now, I think it might not be a lie. "
When Okamoto Masayoshi said these words, even if the lights in the house were turned to the brightest, it still made people feel that there really was a ghost nearby.
Mauliland couldn't help but pull her clothes.
"How could there be such a thing!" Mōri Kogoro didn't believe it.
But Mauliland pulled him. "Dad." She whispered.
She had encountered such a thing before.
Not long ago, the school organized an outing.
Whether it was a supernatural event or not, Conan would treat it as an ordinary case and investigate with 100% effort.
Satsuki Itō also came downstairs.
Conan turned his head and saw it.
That guy was leaning against the stairs. She didn't specifically look there.
She just stood there quietly.
He couldn't see anything from her expression.
The police arrived quickly. Apart from Tsukiko Tachibana, there was another unexpected police officer.
Nobunaga Fuuma. Conan was nervous when he saw him. He was one of the suspects for Rum.
As for Kuroda, apart from being frightened by his expression, he didn't feel anything.
Aiko Aiko didn't have much of a reaction.
That only made Fuuma Nobunaga even more suspicious.
Tsukiko Tachibana's boyfriend.
Satsuki Itō wasn't surprised.
He was also her superior.
They hadn't been dating for long.
"There's one more mannequin at the entrance," You Jin suddenly said.
The Okamoto family members looked at each other. They didn't understand.
Who could have put it there?
Satsuki Itō suddenly looked at Tsukiko Tachibana. She smiled thoughtfully.
Okamoto Nobunaga said that he didn't know how many dolls there were.
He only became interested in dolls recently, so he bought a lot of them from a merchant and put them there.
He didn't even know what kind of dolls there were.
Actually, he was just a nouveau riche who wanted to pursue the so-called art.
But he was just putting on an act.
What was the special meaning of the extra one?
The Okamoto father and son could only think of one thing. Did this mean that the doll represented a missing person?
Did each doll here represent a different person?!
They suddenly felt that these dolls were terrifying.
It was as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at them.
At the scene of the crime, apart from the signs of a struggle by the bed, Conan only found traces of dragging that extended from inside the room to outside the door.
But it only extended to outside the door.
Then, it disappeared into thin air.
