Less gossip, soon Lu Yuan and others arrived at the ancient house.

This location is almost a suburb, but due to the good environment, there are trees and lakes, it has been developed into a place similar to the [rich area].

However, the ancient house must have been around for a long time, so this big house looks even quieter and more deserted at the edge of the rich area. When I got used to the daily life of the city, I was indeed imaginable to this place.

But note that all this is based on the lights on your house, the surrounding property and roads, etc. If you live in an old house older than you, and the roads are far away and there is almost no people, and with the late night at 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, everything is another smell.

Now, Lu Yuan, Xiaolan, and Shanmu Ichio stood neatly at the door of the ancient house, looking towards the dim building inside through the rusty fence. In this atmosphere, you would feel wronged if you say it is not haunted.

"That's it?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Yes...yes." Xiaolan nodded. It might be the first time she came here so late, so Xiaolan seemed even more nervous.

"Ah~Okay, go in and take a look." Lu Yuan said, and was about to walk in.

"Wait... please wait!" Sugiki Kazuo suddenly called Lu Yuan: "Although I am also worried about Mr. Maori's disappearance,... this house is really evil, otherwise..."

"Or what else? Don't you want to go in?" Lu Yuan immediately came to his face when he heard Shan Mu's tone, stared at him with a scary look, and didn't say anything, but Shan Mu was obviously very afraid and didn't know what happened in his room just now. Anyway, Xiaolan was surprised to see Shan Mu nodded cowardly.

"Okay, then, let's go in." He said, and then Zhan Zhan walked to the gate of the old house with a magnificent moment, took out a key, and opened the door.

After entering the front yard, it was a straight road less than 100 meters away. Lu Yuan also truly saw the full view of this ancient house.

This is a house without much Japanese style, and it even seems to have some Western architectural elements. In fact, this country has been going on for decades, during the early years of Meiji, when the introduction of Western culture made most of the rich people at that time try to develop in this direction. This is also the reason why many places in Japan have Western-style buildings such as Western architecture.

In other words, this place has taken at least 50 years. Although it can be seen that it is often repaired, the imprint of practice has been deeply engraved on every inch of brick and wood of this house. You can smell the smell of historical dust from afar. At this time, you can see a clear three-story outline in the darkness, and each window reflects moonlight, as if countless eyes are staring at these three uninvited guests.

Lu Yuan could clearly feel that Xiaolan beside him was trembling.

However, Lu Yuan didn't care too much. Consolation was useless at this time. Besides, even if a demon and ghost came out, Xiaolan would probably beat her up when she was scared.

So he turned his head and looked at the key in Kazuki's hand.

"Who gave you this key?" he asked.

"Oh, it's a lawyer." Shanmu said: "I haven't replied to my father before he left, so the will was handed over to me by the lawyer. Speaking of which, there is only this key in the will."

Lu Yuan frowned: "There is nothing else?"

Shanmu shook his head: "No, I also said that my father doesn't like me, so the other inheritances were given to my younger brother [Shanmu Yuji]. As for this house, it should be considered that he had to do it for the sake of his pre-death face."

Speaking of this, Lu Yuan glanced helplessly. It seemed that the relationship between the father and son was not very good.

Next, Lu Yuan took the lead in entering the building.

The door was still slightly open. It seemed that people who had been back and forth a few days ago were also panicked, which caused the door to be closed without time.

Entering the building, in front of you is a large central hall, with a wide staircase just in the middle of the hall, extending upwards, and you can directly see the [Back]-shaped corridor on the second floor. This architectural style has been popular almost all over the world.

"Uh... it seems that there is nothing particularly scary about it." Lu Yuan muttered, and at the same time, he also felt that Xiaolan and Sugiki Ichio were almost standing behind him at the same time.

"Okay, then let's start searching for the nearby areas and try to find some clues." Lu Yuan said helplessly.

Immediately afterwards...

"No, I have to go together." The remaining two people shouted at the same time again.

This time, it was a little embarrassed.

"Well, I think it's safer for everyone to be together."

"Yes, I'm not afraid, but... it's always better to have more people."

The two of them quickly explained.

"Okay~" Lu Yuan was helpless and worthy of his agreement, and then took the lead and walked towards the corridor on the side of the first floor.

Because both Maori, Conan, and Sugiki's fiancée suddenly disappeared when no one discovered it, so there is no such thing as a crime scene. Lu Yuan could only use the stupidest "carpet-style search" to search one house at a time.

At the same time, he also took out his cell phone and looked at the signal above.

"Well... the signal is full, that is, if the missing person is nearby, you should be able to make a call. However, all the missing persons' phone calls cannot be reached. Does this mean that they are no longer nearby?" Lu Yuan murmured.

"Impossible. Police Officer Megu and I also thought about it this way when we came, but there is only one road around here. If a car passes through it, it will definitely attract attention. The missing people will disappear at a certain moment." Xiaolan said.

Lu Yuan nodded: "In other words, these people should have turned off their phones on purpose, but... why do they do this? Is there a murderer hidden in this ancient house?"

Lu Yuan was thinking while searching the surrounding houses.

Suddenly... in the darkness in front of him, two small green dots slowly appeared, like two eyes, shining with strange light in the shadow.

"Ahhhhhh————" Xiaolan saw the two lights at the first time and screamed in fear.

Lu Yuan's expression was so excited that he was worried that there was no clue, but he also shouted: "Where can you run!" and then quickly ran towards the dark corner.

Unexpectedly, the moment he set off, the two green dots disappeared, and the next second, Lu Yuan rushed to that position.
