Chapter 111: Dusk Villa (2)
The sky gradually darkened. After "Mouri Kogoro" came back and changed the tire, everyone set out again on the road to the Dusk Villa. The dark forest on the side of the road was filled with a terrifying atmosphere, as if it wanted to swallow up anyone who passed by.
The clouds soon turned gray and black, and the raindrops turned from a few scattered drops into a heavy downpour. Several people were limping and shaking in the car, and mud was splashing, because they believed someone's words that they could take the mountain path, the so-called shortcut, up the mountain to the Dusk Villa.
Ignoring the resentful looks from the other three people, "Mouri Kogoro" steadied the steering wheel, complaining in his heart why he trusted someone to go here. Now his back teeth were about to be broken, and the disguise on his face was about to be damaged.
In addition, the forest next to him was really a bit scary, and he felt that the look Hua Lantian gave him was not just the kind of resentful look of being cheated, but a look that saw through him and warned him.
Not long after "Mouri Kogoro" scolded the gas station owner to cover up his guilty conscience, they finally drove out of this torturous shortcut. It turned out that there is always a price to pay for doing things in a hurry.
Once we got onto the main road, a huge building with dim lights on appeared before everyone's eyes on the opposite cliff. That was the Dusk Villa.
It didn't seem very spectacular when I saw it in animation and comics before, but now that I have seen it in person, I realize that it is indeed a wealthy place. When I think about it, whether this villa is really made entirely of gold or not, even if it is covered with a layer of gold, it is very valuable.
"Looks like we're almost at our destination, everyone...! Look at that giant building...!"
Hua Lantian pointed to the location of the Huanghun Villa outside the window and spoke to everyone.
Obviously, not everyone shared Hua Lantian's composure. Xiaolan suddenly felt a chill and didn't want to go anymore. However, she had already collected the money and was almost there. It was raining so late and the road was mountainous, so turning back was not a good idea...
Just as "Mouri Kogoro" was comforting Xiaolan, saying that vampires could not exist and that at most an old mountain demon would appear, a man holding an umbrella with only the lower part of his face in shadow appeared under the illumination of the headlights.
"Kogoro Mouri" slammed the brakes on the car, "Old demon in the mountains...?!!!" He said in horror, holding onto the steering wheel.
Finally, the woman with a hat, a slightly wrinkled face, small round glasses, lowered her head, and held an umbrella said in a low voice:
"It's so rude to address a woman you just met for the first time like that...!"
"Mouri Kogoro" was so scared that he quickly apologized. Then, Conan asked the old lady curiously why she was in such a place at this time. The answer he got was that her car broke down and she was waiting for a kind person. Then she got into the back seat by herself and asked "Mouri Kogoro" to take her luggage.
In fact, she was really surprised at the moment, because someone unexpected came, that was Hua Lantian. She happened to hear that Hua Lantian also solved the case very sharply, so she was worried that something unexpected would happen and cause her plan to fail.
As she thought about it, she strengthened her heart. After all, it had come to this point and she could only continue. After all, she was also a legendary detective, Chikan Kyoudai. How could she give in so easily...!
