Chapter 105: The Invitation of Death (4)
Everyone got off the boat and stood on the island.
By the way, this island is quite large. Looking forward from the dock, you can see a forest area. This forest area has obviously been renovated by professionals. It has a courtyard, stone road, wooden bridge, a long path made of cobblestones, and a small river dug.
In short, it is like a park, covering an area of at least a few kilometers. At this time, the snow is pressing against the treetops, and there are some fallen leaves on the wooden bridge. The scenery is very simple and beautiful.
This forest area is actually just a small part of this island, because as long as you look up, you can see that there is still a mountain in the wind and snow. Although it is not very high, it is definitely not short. If you want to climb it, it will take at least half an hour.
Just like this huge island and such a beautiful forest garden, Lu Yuan’s idea is that this [Ichiro Sato] is definitely a big shot.
Sure enough, before Lu Yuan could let go of his thoughts, two butlers looked like butlers came over. Before, everyone was stunned by the beautiful scenery on the island, so they didn't notice these two butlers for a while.
The person in the lead was obviously the head of the housekeeper. He was about 60 years old, tall, and had no hunchback at all. His hair and beard were very neatly taken care of. He was definitely the smart and capable housekeeper type, and he was definitely handsome when he was young. At this time, he was wearing a typical housekeeper's clothing, suit, white shirt, and bow tie. He was holding an umbrella in his hand. There was a layer of snow on the umbrella. It was obvious that he had been standing in the snow for a long time.
Behind the old housekeeper was a young man in a suit, who looked only 20 years old. He did not hold an umbrella, but he was holding 8 black umbrellas in his hand.
The old butler saw that everyone had already got off the boat, and immediately walked up and bowed politely.
"Hello everyone, I am the chief steward of this island. You can call me Ken Sato," he said.
(In a large Japanese family, the housekeeper can be given the surname of the head of the family, which is a great honor for the housekeeper.)
After saying that, he winked at the young man behind him. The young man immediately came to everyone with a stack of umbrellas, and gave it one by one. He himself was still standing in the wind and snow.
Just this treatment is much better than those five-star hotels, and everyone present is a little embarrassed.
At this moment, Sato Ken said again: "I'm glad you can travel thousands of miles to the banquet. So now, please follow me to the banquet hall."
As he said that, he was about to turn around and guide everyone.
However, all the players were obviously not going to start just like this, and they saw that [Chu Xuan 3881] immediately called the old housekeeper.
"Well, please wait."
"Oh? Is there anything wrong with this gentleman?" asked the old housekeeper.
"I want to ask if you know us?"
The old butler shook his head: "I don't know you."
"Ah? That's strange. We don't know Hiroshiro Sato, so why did we receive the invitation?"
"If you ask me to go to the banquet hall with me for these questions, then the head of the family will naturally answer all your questions."
As he said that, the old housekeeper turned around and took a step, and was just saying, "Don't ask, I won't answer you even if I ask, hurry up and follow me."
So everyone could only follow him helplessly towards the mountain.
Oh, by the way, something happened just now, that was, the captain told everyone that he could not stay here forever, that he had to go home, and in two days, he would come to pick everyone up on time.
In other words, once I leave, you guys will be trapped to death on this island.
And this development was actually as expected by everyone. After all, there was a God of Death next to him. Even in this world, there was no such thing as "Isolated Island Desperate" and other dramas, which would insult him as the name of "Death".
So, no one had any objections, so they waved their hand and said goodbye to the captain
About half an hour later, everyone finally climbed to the top of the mountain with the old housekeeper, and the banquet hall was just above the mountain.
(The mountain road is not just a step road, Ali can also come up.)
Speaking of which, although the mountain looks not big from the bottom, I found that the top of the mountain is definitely not small as soon as I came up. There are parks, hot springs, Japanese-style houses, and even two seven or eight-story buildings that look like hotels in the distance, making the entire hot spring resort.
As everyone was amazed at the scene in front of them, Sato Ken said calmly: "Come with me."
Then, we brought everyone to a building that can only be described as "luxury".
This is the banquet hall. The interior is very simple, with a huge gold-edged carpet in the middle, with a row of small tables and cushions for eating on both sides. Directly facing the gate, there is a relatively brighter "host chair seat".
But such a simple structure almost fully demonstrates luxury and corruption. Everyone can even imagine the scenes of the palace ministers in costume dramas when they hold banquets.
At this time, there were already some people sitting in the banquet hall.
Most of these people have never been seen by Lu Yuan, except for two middle-aged men.
Here, we will not describe these two people in detail, because as long as you talk about the name, you can automatically make up for your image.
One of them is the tallest one is [Mori Kogoro]
Another relatively short and fat person is [Officer Meguro].
The two of them seemed to have been waiting in the hall for a long time, but there was no food coming, so both of them complained to each other in discomfort.
Now
"Dad~"
Xiaolan shouted behind her, then pulled Conan and ran towards Kogoro, and then sat with her.
The remaining six players followed Sato Takeru's guidance and sat on the other side.
During this period, the six players on Lu Yuan were all looking at the strange faces sitting opposite the hall.
Obviously, those people came to the island by boat with Kogoro Mouri. In other words, there should be players among those people.
However, in this situation, no one really went up to talk to each other, because no one wanted to show too much strangeness, so everyone sat quietly and waited for the so-called "head of the family" to appear.
And the "head of the family" did not let everyone wait for too long, and soon appeared
"Everyone has been waiting for a long time." An old voice came.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound at the same time. A nurse pushed a wheelchair and walked out. There was an old man sitting in the wheelchair. Lu Yuan looked at it and said that the old man was probably about 90 years old. Although he could still see a tough smell on his face, his body and skin showed obvious signs of aging. Let's just say that, if the old man died after eating, Lu Yuan would never be surprised.
Soon, the old man was pushed to the center of the owner's seat and faced the people below.
"Ahem." He coughed twice: "I guess everyone knows who I am, yes, I am I Ichiro Sato."
"But among the people here, I don't know each other except Mr. Maori's family and Police Officer Meguri, of course, and I'm not interested in listening to your own introduction."
"I know, you all have a question in your heart, that is, why do I send you invitations?"
"The answer is that I did not send the invitations to you specifically. In addition to the Maori family and Officer Meguri, I just randomly sent 50 invitations to the mailboxes of 50 citizens across Tokyo."
"So now it seems that only 10 of these 50 lucky people seized the opportunity and came to the banquet."
"So what are you going to do for this banquet?"
"The answer is simple and concise, only one word."
"That's killing!"
