Kanagawa Taoist College Students

The banquet continued, and there were more and more people, until the entire long dining table was filled, with about forty people.

Among these people are guests, and their assistants. Of course, assistants are not servants, nor are they inferior. They are friends invited by guests, so they also have seats.

However, the owner at the top of the table has not yet appeared, but the current guests and assistants are already chatting enthusiastically.

Li Xuehao, the youngest assistant, just gave the other guests and assistants a "novelty", and soon no one paid attention to him.

He didn't do anything amazing, he just behaved like a teenager of this age should.

Yamamoto Shigemitsu was chatting with Mrs. Endo who was sitting above him. There was nothing special about the content of their conversation, they were just talking about some very common topics.

Li Xuehao listened quietly and occasionally ate some of the exquisite food on the table.

Not all guests come with assistants, some come alone, like Mrs. Endo, she is alone.

The invited guests are all quite powerful. Even the assistants are weaker than the guests, but they are not obviously weak.

Li Xuehao didn't know why these people were gathered here, but being able to gather these people in one place showed that the owner was not an ordinary person, at least ordinary people did not have such great energy.

Suddenly, the conversation between Mrs. Endo and Shigemitsu Yamamoto caught his attention.

"Shigemitsu, what do you think about this case?" Mrs. Endo lowered her voice, but it had no effect at all on Li Xuehao.

Case, what case? He was suspicious.

But Yamamoto Shigemitsu seemed to know the case that Mrs. Endo was talking about. He only heard him say: "There is no murder weapon, no fingerprints, no time of crime, and no motive for the murder. He is not the murderer."

"He was the only one with the deceased at that time. If it wasn't him, could it really be a ghost killing someone?" Mrs. Endo said.

Yamamoto Shigemitsu was silent for a moment and glanced sideways at the young man. If he had never seen a ghost with his own eyes, he would have thought what Mrs. Endo said was ridiculous, but now he doesn’t think so. Maybe it really is a ghost. Not necessarily murder.

Hearing what Mrs. Endo said about ghost murder, Li Xuehao suddenly understood. Is Yamamoto Shigemitsu bringing him here related to this "ghost murder" case?

"If it was a ghost who killed someone, no one would be able to get the 100 million yen crime-solving fund." Mrs. Endo laughed softly, but her tone was more of gloating. Everyone was busy in vain, it seemed. This is the result she wants to see most.

Yamamoto Shigemitsu didn't answer, but frowned.

Li Xuehao realized something, and he vaguely understood why so many people who were far above ordinary people gathered here. It was the 100 million yen crime-solving fund that attracted them. Few people could not resist the temptation of this astronomical figure.

Yamamoto Shigemitsu is probably one of them.

While he was deep in thought, suddenly the atmosphere at the scene became quiet, as if someone had arrived, causing those who were talking loudly to stop.

Li Xuehao looked up and saw an old man with gray hair walking in from the door on the other side, supported by two young men, a man and a woman.

Although the old man has gray hair, his face is not too old, but his face is a little pale and seems to be very unhealthy.

The man and woman looked very young. The man was about thirty years old. He was in a suit and leather shoes. He looked handsome. He looked around and looked like a successful man.

The woman is much younger, only in her early twenties, like a female college student who has not yet graduated, with delicate and cute facial features and bright eyes. However, she seems a little uncomfortable facing the gazes of so many people present. More He lowered his head and concentrated on supporting the old man.

As the old man approached, respectful or flattering voices could be heard from time to time.

"Mr. Nagatsuma."

"Mr. Nagatsuma."

"..."

Everyone called him by the same name, and even the bear with the worst attitude did not dare to show any disrespect to the old man.

The old man was helped to the top position. From this point of view, he seemed to be the owner of this mountain villa. The young man and woman might be his juniors. They had no seats and only stood quietly next to the old man. behind.

"Everyone, please sit down." The old man glanced at the dozens of people present, and the old and deep voice came out of his mouth, as if it had magic power, and everyone who stood up sat down in unison.

"I invite you all to come today. I believe you all already know the reason." The old man spoke very slowly. I don't know whether it was because he was ill and couldn't speak quickly, or because his speaking habits were like this.

"Yes, Mr. Nagatsuma, I heard that the fund this time is 100 million yen, right?" Someone asked impatiently, with expectations and greed in their eyes.

"No, not 100 million yen." The old man shook his head.

"What!" The people at the scene, including the person who just asked the question, were also surprised. You know, they came here after hearing that there was a 100 million yen fund to solve the case.

"It's 500 million yen!" The old man's words were nothing short of thunder.

The originally disappointed people opened their mouths as wide as they could, and looked at him in shock and disbelief, their eyes gradually becoming fanatical.

Even Yamamoto Shigemitsu, who was the calmest, Li Xuehao saw his hands clenched tightly under the table.

"As long as one of you can find the murderer, you can get 500 million yen in the crime detection fund." The old man was very satisfied with the performance of the people below and said in a calm tone. It seemed that 500 million yen was no more important to him than five yuan. What a difference.

"Wow..."

People who had woken up from the shock of 500 million yen could no longer hold back their excitement, their spirits became high, and the scene suddenly became lively.

"Now, you can take a look at the information. If there are no questions, you can start." After the old man finished speaking, he gestured to the young man and woman behind him. The latter two nodded, took a stack of information, and began to distribute it to the long table. guests on board.

Every guest received one, even the assistants received one.

Li Xuehao's information happened to be sent to him by the young girl. When she saw him, the girl couldn't help being surprised in her eyes. She was probably curious that such a young guest was invited.

After distributing the materials, the two young men and women returned to the old man's side.

Li Xuehao looked at the information in his hand, which was a few thin pieces of A4 paper. The most shocking thing was the large blood-red characters on the cover - Ghost Murder Case Book, is it really related to ghosts?
