Chapter 491 Nightmare (Part 3)
The little girl dragged Conan to the snack room, but it was clear that someone else was already there. The photographer and the slide projector sat close together, though the slide projector kept covering his projector to prevent the photographer from touching it. Meanwhile, the meteorologist and the pilot were happily enjoying their snacks.
The meteorologist (tea break lady) was dressed in pink, which immediately filled the room with the atmosphere of afternoon tea, and it was obvious that the pilot was the maker of these refreshments.
"Um, Wendy, I think you should eat less. You've put more than five sugar cubes in that cup of black tea." The pilot looked at the meteorologist who kept stirring the teacup, and held his forehead helplessly.
The meteorologist, on the other hand, acted nonchalant as he took away another plate of cake topped with sweet cream. "Oh, it's okay. We brain workers just need a lot of sugar."
"But eating too much sugar will give you cavities..." The pilot's voice trailed off. It was obvious that saying this in front of a sweet tooth had no effect at all.
The slide designer looked drowsy, as if she had drunk some sleepy tea. She lay on the table holding her equipment, her head nodding, but she was still wary of the photographer who tried to come over and take away her lens.
"Did Leroux take this lens? Answer me quickly!" The photographer looked a little anxious and kept urging the slide designer to answer questions.
However, the lantern artist stared at the light from his own lamp, looking as if he was about to fall asleep. "I don't know. This lens has been blessed by the Lord Cat God. Even if you want to use it for other purposes, you won't get the desired results."
[Photographer: There are cows! There are cows! My lens!]
[Hermit: Mr. Joseph, please be patient. After all, a lot of time has passed. It's normal for Miss Amanda not to know the origin of the lens.]
[Apostle: I always feel like I have the lowest education level in the sect...]
[Billiard Player: Education isn't everything, Lady Saint. I see quite a few self-taught people in the manor.]
[Crybaby: Wow, it’s Uncle Lion.]
[Night Watchman: It still has a tail. Why don't Mr. Alva and Sister Ann have one?]
[Billiard Player: These two kids seem to have cat ears too. Are they from my group?]
[Hermit: Not really...]
[Archer: Hey! That's my great-grandfather!]
[Air Force: You're a physicist, but you also play billiards?]
[Knight: The gambling industry on our estate is booming.]
[Grocer: That's not a good thing.]
[Knight: I'm sorry, sister...]
[Fire Investigator: Why not include cracking down on underground casinos in our battle plan?]
[Lucky Guy: Then how can I go to the casino to pick up the lucky numbers?]
[Lawyer: With your luck, you won't starve to death even if you pick up trash on the street.]
Conan observed the lantern artist carefully. She was wearing a loose black dress and a black hat, and her eyes looked sleepy. She bore the distinct characteristics of the Black Eye Cult. The cat-eye accessory hanging from her waist and the black cat statue on the lamp confirmed that this lady, dressed like a member of the Black Organization, was a follower of the Cat God.
The little girl pulled Conan to sit on the chair: "Okay, now it's suspense story time!"
This story is actually the background story of the little girl "Miss Pomegranate Dish". It looks like a sweet fairy tale similar to Alice in Wonderland, but in fact there is a murder case hidden behind it.
"Miss Pomegranate Dish, under the guidance of Mr. Key and Miss Mai, walked through the garden maintained by Mr. Vase. Miss Tea Break served her an exquisite afternoon tea."
"'Oh, dear, look at these beautiful refreshments. Would you like to have some?'"
"When Miss Pomegranate Dish was about to pick up the silver fork, the piping bag boy grabbed her skirt."
"'Wake up!' he said. 'Don't stay in this sweet dream!'"
"But Miss Sheet pulled Miss Pomegranate Saucer back again: 'Perhaps you are tired, you can take a nap on this soft bed.'"
"Miss Pomegranate Die noticed something was wrong. She shook her head and rejected Miss Sheet's invitation."
"The cottage with the pomegranate-colored vaulted roof seemed to have an infinite corridor and staircase. Miss Pomegranate Saucer met Mr. Coat Rack in front of a locked wooden door."
"Mr. Coat Rack is tall and wears a purple hat with a white cat hiding in the middle of his collar."
"'Poor girl. Would you rather indulge in this illusory and beautiful dream, or return to the cruel reality?' Mr. Hat Rack lifted the hem of his clothes. 'If you are willing, I can take you out of this pomegranate hut.'"
"The tea break lady chased after him: 'Stop, don't leave! Our tea party isn't over yet!'"
"Miss Pomegranate Dish was so frightened that she immediately hid under the hem of Mr. Coat Rack's clothes: 'Please take me away, I want to go back, I must go back.'"
"So, under the protection of Mr. Coat Rack, Miss Pomegranate Dipper carefully passed through the locked wooden door. Behind the wooden door was a long corridor. She saw a light flickering at the end of the corridor, so she broke free from Mr. Coat Rack's arms and rushed forward. As she ran, she heard Mr. Coat Rack's sigh behind her."
"'Too late,' he said. 'What a shame.'"
"Finally, Miss Pomegranate Die walked into the light, but she did not feel the warmth of the sunlight. Her body gradually grew colder until the light gradually disappeared into the deep darkness. Finally, she heard a heavy sigh and the sound of sirens coming from afar."
Conan thought it was a fairy tale at first, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong, especially when the end of the story revealed that Miss Pomegranate Die was the victim of this case: "So, this is a description of the victim's flashback before her death? It can be described in this way in the way of telling a fairy tale..."
Listening to this story, Akai Shuichi also understood that everyone in this story was just a figment of Miss Shiliudie's imagination. They all reflected what happened in reality to some extent.
"Mr. Key and Ms. Mai led Miss Pomegranate Die into the house, which means someone is visiting Miss Pomegranate Die, and that person probably has the key to the room. The appearance of Mr. Vase means that this person seems to have brought a bouquet of flowers as a gift."
"Miss Tea Break invited Miss Pomegranate Die to stay and mentioned 'tea party' several times. So, in reality, there must be an afternoon tea party taking place in the room with only the two of them, and they were chatting happily from the beginning."
"But the piping bag boy, as the most sensitive part of my heart, showed up. He was reminding Miss Pomegranate Dish to be vigilant, but his power was too weak."
"It is speculated that it was at this time that Miss Pomegranate Die fell into the visitor's trap."
"Then there's Miss Sheet. This suggests that the real Miss Pomegranate Die likely drank sleeping pills or poison and was placed on the bed. The person who poisoned her was naturally the visitor. The purpose of this was likely to cover up the cause of death as suffocation or something like that."
"Finally, there's Mr. Coat Rack. When his body is in great danger, his subconscious mind emerges to save him, but in the end, it's too late."
