Be the god of death in the world of famous detectives

Chapter 233 Forest Castle
The envelope and the letter paper are very elegant. When you touch it with your hands, you can feel the uneven dark lines, and the edges are even gilded.

The content is machine typed and the font is elegant.After ignoring those euphemistic points, and ignoring those polite wording, the two pages of eloquence were condensed into one sentence.

——My ancestors hid treasures in the castle, but we couldn't find them. Please come and help us find them. If we can find them, we will be very grateful.

The letter also attached a deposit, a detailed address map, etc. It can be seen that the person who wrote the letter is full of expectations for "Sleeping Kogoro".

But unfortunately, Mori Kogoro has ruthlessly abandoned him for the sake of his idol - even if he hadn't abandoned him, and Conan wasn't around, the mystery probably wouldn't be solved.

In short, what a miserable customer.

Speaking of which, he was also pretty miserable.Xiaolan and Yuanzi were out shopping, Conan went on a spring outing with the doctor, and Mori Kogoro was on his way to the concert happily. He was the only one who couldn't rest for a while after catching cats, and had to continue to work hard.

Bai Shu played with the letter, anyway, the letter didn't say the specific time, he just ate potato chips, watched TV for a while, and waited for a customer to come to pick up the cat, and then reluctantly changed it Lightweight sportswear, ready to go.

Mori Kogoro left by tram, his car was still parked at the door, and his car keys were left on the shoe cabinet.

Bai Shu got the key, followed the map, and drove to the destination.

This castle is surprisingly far away, so remote that it has already surpassed the ranks of the suburbs. If it weren't for the fact that there was a photo of the castle attached to the letter, Bai Shu would have suspected that the ancestor hid a mine in a natural scenic spot for future generations.

The car snaked for more than an hour, and before I knew it, the surroundings looked like a deep forest, and the driveway gradually changed from asphalt road to cement, and then from cement to dirt road.

——I don’t know how this family usually goes out to the city, or maybe they are already rich enough to fly around in a helicopter every day.

The sky darkened quickly, not only because of the darkness, but also because of the dark clouds gradually gathering in the sky above.

Soon, the fine rain rustled through the branches and leaves, and fell on the car window.

Bai Shu pressed the wiper on and watched the drizzle in the sky turn into moderate rain and finally pour down.When the dirt road started to get muddy, he finally saw a castle through the layers of leaves.

This castle is not left over from modern times, but imitated later. The main body is basically a traditional castle image, and a tower extends from the left. The top of the tower is burnt black, and it looks like a haunted house at first glance.

The outermost layer of the castle is surrounded by a fence with a sharp top.

The white tree drove up to the fence and found a manicured space beside the gate for parking.At this time, there was an old Beetle car parked on it that was incompatible with the painting style of the castle.

When the car passed by, Bai Shu poked his head and took a look inside. Through the trunk, he could see some barbecue grills, small schoolbags and the like in the car, but there was no one in it.

He stared at the familiar car and thought for a while, then took out the letter, looked at the signature on the signature again, and suddenly realized.

"It's a good thing I didn't get lazy and let the customer's pigeons go. Hardworking people are lucky, and the ancients don't deceive me..." He took out an umbrella from the shelf, got out of the car and opened it.

The air in the forest was very fresh, and the ground and the gate were wet with moisture. Bai Shu jumped over the puddle a few steps, went to the waterproof doorbell and pressed it. After ten seconds, someone picked it up.

The voice of a middle-aged man came from the receiver.

Bai Shu announced the name of Mori Kogoro, and after a while, the gate of the castle opened, and someone came all the way.

It was a man in his fifties, with decent clothes and a broad face. His eyebrows and beard had grown into a downturned horoscope, like a low-profile version of Lu Xfeng.

He pressed the remote control, opened the iron door, and shook hands with Bai Shu, "Welcome, I'm Mamiyaman, that..."

The man stretched his neck and looked around behind the white tree. He didn't see anyone else, and asked in doubt, "Excuse me, where is Mr. Mao Li?"

"He encountered a murder case on the way here, and he is busy solving the case. He will rush over when it is finished."

Bai Shu opened his mouth and came. Anyway, there are murder cases in Mihua Town every now and then, so there is no need to worry about this lie being found out.And there is no need for Mori Kogoro to appear here. The "treasure" of this family is not difficult to find.

His expression was so natural that there was no doubt in the palace, he nodded and sighed in disappointment.

If there is a murder case, there is really nothing to do. Fortunately, this puzzle in his family has been left over for many years, and he is not in a hurry.

Mamiyaman quickly recovered his mood and said politely, "Please come in first, I will show you around our castle."

From the outside, the castle has a strong European style.The lawn in the courtyard was built in the style of a chessboard, on which there were many stone chess pieces one person tall, black and white interlaced, forming a peculiar pattern.

"This design is very strange." Ma Gongman noticed Bai Shu's gaze, and he simply explained:
"This is the last words left by the old man when he passed away 15 years ago. He asked us to keep this 'chessboard' as it is. In addition, he also said that he would give the treasure to the person who solved the mystery of the castle, so we all feel that , the clues to the treasure are hidden in this game of 'chess'."

He stopped slightly to make it easier for Bai Shu to look around, but he didn't stop for too long:

"I can't see anything famous from this angle. Let me take you upstairs to have a look. If you look down, the pattern will be clearer."

By this time, the sun had completely set.

Mamiya Man walked up to the high second floor window, looked down, and knew that the plan would not work.

——Although there are a few small stone street lamps installed in the courtyard, the light is still too dark. Those black chess pieces seem to be crushed and melted into the night. Standing here, it is not as clear as it was seen from below.

"Tsk, I don't have lights at home either... How about you stay here for one night and wait for Mr. Maori to come tomorrow, and then investigate together? We have a lot of guest rooms, and there are still a few passers-by here today."

After Mamiyaman said something, when he turned back from the window, he saw Bai Shu with his head slightly lowered, staring at an open notebook in his hand.

The style of the book is ordinary, the color is even more ordinary, and there is nothing written on the pages, but for some reason, the young detective read it very seriously, as if there were really words written on it.

Looking at this scene, Jian Gongman felt a little weird for no reason. He touched his arm and cleared his throat, "...what's wrong?"

"Oh it's all right."

Bai Shu came back to his senses, closed the book and smiled at him, "I just think this puzzle is very interesting, today is really the right time."

Jian Gongman couldn't see it, but in Bai Shu's eyes, there were more than ten names densely written on the notebook.

It's just...

It's his paradise!
