By the time Fangzheng and Conan arrived at the villa of the Right Generation Gong family, it was already evening.
"I still don't understand why every rich person likes to build a villa in this kind of godforsaken place."
Fangzheng got out of the car and looked at the dilapidated villa in front of him. The villa looked like it could be used to shoot a ghost movie without any makeup. He sighed speechlessly.
"Is there really a clue here?"
Conan got out of the car in a daze. He barely managed to suppress the feeling of nausea in his stomach. He already knew that it was not a good idea to take Fangzheng's car, but he had no other choice.
"I don't know. I can only say that I'll take a look. It'll be good if there is, but if there isn't … there's nothing I can do."
Fangzheng took a deep breath and looked at the house in front of him.
"They also said that they would send someone to clean up the place. It seems that I really can't place too much hope on the real estate developers. But frankly speaking, I don't want to live in this house … Forget it, I'll talk about this later. But then again … "
Looking at the door of the villa in front of him, Fangzheng was speechless.
"That's really familiar …."
"Familiar?"
Hearing Fangzheng muttering to himself, Conan also came forward to take a look.
"Have you been here before?"
"Of course not, but … I'm tired of looking at this place."
While saying that, Fangzheng shook the flashlight and shone it at the door of the villa in front of him. That's right, Fangzheng had no impression of this villa, but the door was different. It was an oval double door with two torches on both sides. Fangzheng stepped forward, took out a lighter, and lit the torches. He then took a few steps back and looked at the door illuminated by the torches with satisfaction.
The next moment, the door would open with a squeak, and titles like "XXXXX Murder Case!" would appear from the darkness inside.
Just by looking at the door, Fangzheng knew that he had found the right place.
After all, he had watched almost every episode of an anime two or three times in the past.
"Alright, let's go in and take a look …"
As he spoke, Fangzheng reached out his hand, but before his hand touched the door, the double doors opened automatically with a squeak.
"…"
"…"
Looking at the door that opened automatically, Fangzheng and Conan were silent for a moment. The latter turned to look at Fangzheng.
"You drove it?"
"I swear, I haven't even put the key in yet."
Fangzheng raised the key in his hand and replied helplessly.
"What should we do? If this was in a movie, it would be the beginning of a horror movie. "
"Maybe it's some kind of mechanism."
Conan raised his head and glanced at the torches on both sides of the wall.
"Just now, you lit two torches before the door opened. I think there must be some kind of mechanism."
As expected of Scholar Ke. I'm impressed.
Fangzheng silently gave it a thumbs up. He did not want to think about whether it was a coincidence, a trap, or a ghost. But for Conan, he didn't seem to have the option of "haunted" in his mind at all.
That's fine too.
"Whoosh …!!"
However, before the two of them could move, a sudden gust of wind blew out from the door and blew directly at them. This gust of wind was comparable to a Category 18 typhoon. Even Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and extended his hand to block it. As for Conan, he cried out and was sent flying backward. Thankfully, Fangzheng had quick reflexes and grabbed him.
But before the two of them could react, the wind that was originally blowing outward suddenly sucked inward. Caught off guard, Fangzheng and Conan were sucked directly into the shadow of the dark door. The next moment, the door closed with a "clang" like a cutscene in an anime. Only the torches on both sides were still burning and flickering, illuminating the darkness in front of them.
"…"
After an unknown amount of time, Fangzheng woke up slowly. He shook his head, stood up, opened his eyes, and looked around. What he saw was a blue sea. The mechanical sound and shaking under their feet proved that they were on a ship at the moment.
Fangzheng retracted his gaze and looked to his side. He saw that they were in a cabin. Not far away, Conan was sprawled on the ground, sleeping soundly. He walked up and smashed Conan's head, waking him up.
"Ugh … Huh?"
Feeling Fangzheng's hit on the head, Conan grunted, then raised his head and looked around in surprise.
"Wait, what is this place? What happened to us? "
"We're on a ship now."
"A ship?"
Conan immediately leaned against the porthole and observed carefully. Then, like Fangzheng, he turned his head to confirm the situation around him.
"Wait, why are we on a ship? Did that organization know we were coming here, so they set up a trap to knock us out and bring us here?"
"I don't know yet, but …"
Fangzheng reached out and touched the gun in his arms.
"My gun is still here, and so are my IDs. If I was taken away by those guys, they wouldn't be so stupid."
As he spoke, Fangzheng took out his gun and smoothly loaded it, loaded the magazine, and pulled the safety.
"Look, everything is normal."
"That's strange."
Conan was also confused, but he quickly ran to the door of the cabin with his short legs, then reached out and pushed the door open.
"The door is unlocked."
"Let's go out and have a look."
Fangzheng put the gun back into his arms, then followed Conan out of the cabin, then carefully walked outside.
"Squeak."
However, as soon as the two left the cabin, they saw a woman with long blonde hair coming over. When she saw the two of them, she was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly lowered her head.
"Ah, hello, Mr. Fangzheng, are you awake?"
"Ah, um …"
"Great, we're about to reach Six Seals Island. I was wondering if I should call you … Um, have you seen Genya?"
"No."
Fangzheng shook his head. The woman sighed, then forced a smile and nodded at Fangzheng.
"Thank you. I'll go look for that child again."
After saying this, the woman turned around and left, while Fangzheng and Conan stared at her back without saying a word. After a while, Conan reached out and pulled the corner of Fangzheng's clothes.
"Hey, what's going on? Do you know each other? "
"I know her. She shouldn't know me."
"What do you mean?"
"It's simple."
Fangzheng silently took out an envelope from his arms, then opened it, took out a photo from it and handed it to Conan.
"She's dead."
"…?"
Conan took the photo, took a closer look, then turned it over.
"Right Generation Palace Lord?"
"Yes, the second daughter of the Right Generation Palace Lord, one of the victims of the mysterious murder on Six Seals Island. Both she and her daughter, Genya, died on Six Seals Island."
"But … What's going on?"
Conan was also confused while holding the photo.
Fangzheng seemed very calm.
"Do you remember the VR game you played before? The one from 19th century London? "
"So what you're saying is …"
Hearing this, Conan suddenly understood.
"Yes, I suspect that we're in a similar environment now."
Fangzheng looked very calm. He had almost guessed that he might have triggered another "dungeon", but for Conan, there was no need to explain.
"As you said, it's very likely that some mechanism in the Right Generation Palace Lord's villa was triggered, and we're now brought to this world … It's very likely that the goal of this' game 'is for us to solve the mystery of the murder on Six Seals Island and find out the truth, so …"
As he spoke, Fangzheng patted Conan on the shoulder.
"I'll leave it to you, Detective."
Sure enough, when the two walked out of the cabin, they immediately saw the Right Generation Palace Lord. Fangzheng was already very familiar with this kind of "inexplicable transmigration". After talking to the other party for a while, he immediately figured out his identity. Just like in the "real world", Fangzheng was also a public official in this world. He came here mainly to act as a notary. Because the Right Generation Palace Lord planned to divide their father's property among themselves, they invited Fangzheng to come with them.
As for Conan, he was treated as Fangzheng's child.
Although everyone seemed happy and harmonious on the surface, Fangzheng knew very well that according to the records, in the end, only the Right Generation Palace Lord Huiyu survived. Everyone else died a violent death. As for the cause of death and who the murderer was, it was still unclear. To be honest, it was very difficult for Fangzheng to find the murderer in this situation.
"Who do you think is the most suspicious?"
After talking for a while and confirming their identities, Fangzheng and Conan got together and began to discuss how to "clear the dungeon".
"I still think the Right Generation Palace Lord Huiyu is the most suspicious."
Conan was the first to put forward his own idea.
"After all, according to the information you brought, she inherited the property of the Right Generation Palace Lord after returning from Six Seal Island. She also adopted the Right Generation Palace Lord Yuanshou who had lost his parents. This is probably a kind of atonement …"
"So you mean the Right Generation Palace Lord Huiyu killed everyone on the island alone?"
"Maybe her husband is also an accomplice … but …"
At this point, Conan hesitated.
"We need more clues."
Fangzheng was not in a hurry. He just stretched out his hand and patted Conan's little head.
"Keep watching and you'll know."
"Woo —!!"
At the same time, accompanied by the sound of a steam whistle, an island appeared in front of them.
They had arrived at Six Seal Island.
