I'm in Mihua, and all the ladies like me.

"Hey, there's no need for this." Dr. A Li chuckled and didn't care.

The appearance of the Optical Theory Box is actually a bit similar to the three-dimensional mobile device in Attack on Titan. The upper end of the box is connected to a belt, and the lower part is two leg loops. The box can be fixed on both sides of the outer thighs and ensures that it does not move when running. It will be tossed around due to inertia.

"So what does the finished product look like?" Conan was a little curious.

"You'll find out later."

Serabel adjusted and pressed the outer sides of the two boxes. The pressed area immediately moved inward, and then opened a small opening outward.

It seems to be a switch that turns on when pressed once and turns off when pressed again.

Taking advantage of the brief moment when Serabel turned on and off, Conan took a look at it.

What's inside is...a strangely shaped broad blade?

Before he could see it clearly, Serabel turned the box switch on with her backhand.

At the same time, the sound of a car engine was heard again on the way here. ?

Chapter 143 Solve the mystery?very simple!

As the last brown car stopped at the gate of the castle, the small team that was looking for the second Egg of Memory finally gathered.

The person who got out of the car was naturally Ganjiang Yi. I don’t know where he had been before, but he actually had a traveling brother on his back.

When Mouri Kogoro saw that his back was bulging when he got out of the car, he couldn't help but raise his eyes.

"What are you doing? You're carrying such a big bag. Do you really plan to go on an adventure?"

"Be prepared..."

Gan Jiang glanced away and said perfunctorily, and his eyes lit up when his eyes fell on Serabel.

"Besides, don't you see that guy also brought a lot of equipment?"

"Ok?"

As expected, Mouri Kogoro was easily led astray and looked in the direction pointed by the former.

Just as Serabel had just finished adjusting the equipment and raised his head, the eyes of the three parties met in the air, and he also imitated the go-getter and replied.

"Be prepared."

Uh……

Mouri Kogoro looked around.

Officer Shiratori had a bulge under his suit, obviously carrying a gun.

That Conan guy seemed to have been given a new pair of glasses by Dr. Ari just now.

Not to mention Serabel, the two big black boxes looked like three-dimensional mobile devices. Those who didn't know it thought they would rise into the air to fight the giant in the next second.

Even Secretary Mao Xiong had a briefcase in his hand. Although he didn’t know what was in it, he must be able to use it as a blunt instrument at critical moments.

Qiaodou Sack, what’s going on with this feeling of being the only one who’s unprepared, as if he’s on an outing?

Not far away, Natsumi Kasaka, who had spoken to the old housekeeper, turned around and waved to everyone.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's set off."

So everyone entered the castle one by one.

Mouri Kogoro was at the end of the queue and was the last one to enter. After entering, he stopped and glanced through the gap in the door that the old butler was about to close. , turned to the old housekeeper.

"Mr. Butler, could you please lock all the doors and keep the children out?"

"...Ah, I see."

The old housekeeper immediately understood what he meant, nodded and took out the key and followed suit.

On the other side, Serabel and others began to visit the castle under the leadership of Natsumi Kasaka.

From the hall to the armor showroom, to the dining room, kitchen and bathhouse, then to the study and bedrooms.

The castle covers a large area and the interior space is extremely spacious.

In particular, the layout and decoration inside have perfectly restored the original flavor of the German castle of the last century. Even people like Tomoko Suzuki who have long been accustomed to living in luxurious mansions can't help but marvel at it.

But even so, after Serabel and others walked around the castle for nearly half an hour, they still didn't see any shadow of the Egg of Memory.

More than half an hour passed like this.

When they came out of the last room on the second floor called the "Emperor's Room", everyone's face was more or less decadent.

They have been wandering here for almost an hour and still found nothing.

Mouri Kogoro muttered in a low voice: "I haven't found it after searching for so long. Maybe another egg of memories is also lost..."

As soon as these words came out, Gan Jiangyi and Secretary Mao Xiong couldn't help but glance at him.

There is one thing to say. Although this statement is somewhat depressing and annoying, they have to admit that they have indeed spent a lot of time here. They have searched almost every corner of every room, and they are still short of digging three feet. .

Under normal circumstances, it can be concluded that the other memory egg is not in the castle.

But if you just give up like this, everyone will be a little unwilling.

While everyone was hesitant and in a stalemate, Serabel applied to leave the team.

"If you still want to continue searching, I will walk around the castle alone next. Don't worry, I won't touch things that I shouldn't touch."

"Ok, no problem."

Kasaka Natsumi was very trusting and agreed immediately.

After receiving the permission to act alone, Serabel went to the easternmost room on the second floor of the castle.

Looking down through the window, I saw lush forests all over the mountains and plains under a twilight sky. Occasionally, I heard a few birds chirping, and the next second I saw several birds flying past the top of the castle, like a few feathers. The arrow quickly disappeared into the distant mountains and forests.

Not detecting Pu Si Qinglan's figure, Serabel withdrew her gaze.

After spending 10 minutes inspecting the rooms on the south and north sides in the same way, he finally came to the room on the westernmost side of the castle.

Through the window of the west side room, you can clearly see a specially built step path going down on the right hand side from the main entrance of the castle, leading to an independent tower.

Serabel didn't have much research on architecture, so he didn't know why such a tall tower was built next to the castle. That's how they built it anyway.

But what caught his attention was not the tower, but a familiar figure below the tower.

That was Dr. Ali. Unexpectedly, they hadn't left yet.

From his perspective, Dr. Ali was constantly looking into the tower door to see what he was looking at. Then he suddenly turned around and ran up the steps in a panic, seemingly in a hurry.

Serabel narrowed her eyes slightly.

Is... what happened?

After thinking for a moment, Serabel turned and left the room.

By the time he met Conan and others again, they were already on the first floor. Somehow, they wandered back to the study of Kasaka Kiichi, the builder of the castle.

This room has actually been visited once before, and as expected, nothing was found, not even the slightest clue about the Egg of Memories. Logically speaking, there is no value in searching it again.

But the facts prove that not only does it exist, but it must exist.

After all, they did find something.

When Serabel walked into the room, the atmosphere in the study was a little strange.

Gan Jiangyi was sitting alone. The backpack he was carrying when he came in was lost somewhere. He only had a flashlight in his hand. The "White Bird Police Department Sub" was watching over him.

It feels like...looking at a prisoner?

As for Conan and others, they were lying on the ground next to the desk, surrounding a floor that was lifted up like a cover.

Under the floor is a button board, each button is engraved with a Russian character, it feels like a dial for entering passwords.

"What do you mean, found the entrance?" Serabel walked over and asked.

"Well, I guess..." Conan didn't look back, "But I just found it. The entrance should be down here, but no one knows the password. I tried several times without success."

"I've tried both 'Memories' and 'Kasaka Kiichi', but nothing works." Mouri Kogoro groaned, crossing his arms.

"Ah~ This is easy, let me do it."

Serabel took a utility knife from the desk, pushed aside the people surrounding the button board, and squatted down.

Just when Mouri Kogoro and others thought this guy had some clever tricks up his sleeve, he decisively did something that almost made everyone stare.

I saw Serabel using her backhand to shave the tip of the utility knife into the gap of the button board. With a light pry, she lifted the entire button board out and accurately found the use of the small group of wires at the bottom. Take the two wires that activate the mechanism, remove them from the button board, and then connect them together.

boom -

As if an ancient mechanism was activated again after being dusted for many years, a dull vibration was heard from below. The floor in the study automatically and magically opened to both sides, revealing a downward staircase.

When he was done, Serabel stood up, clapped his hands, looked back at the stunned people in the room, and shrugged.

"See, it's very simple."?

Chapter 144: It’s really a gang of teenagers seeking death

Time went back to a moment ago, in the open space outside the castle.

Watching Serabel and others enter the castle and close the door, Haihara Ai turned to the three little ones who were still looking at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, they've already gone in, so it's almost time for us to go back~"

After hearing this, Dr. Ali also took advantage of the situation and got into the car.

But before she could turn around, the girl's hesitating voice came over.

"Haihara-san..."

"Ok?"

Haibara Ai stopped and cast a glance, and saw the only girl among the three, Ayumi Yoshida, standing with her feet rooted to the spot, her watery eyes staring far away, and her small fists clenched tightly. rise.

Behind them, the fat boy Genta Kojima and the freckled boy Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya also looked aggrieved.

Ah no, that’s not quite right either.

Because rather than being indignant, it is better to say that there is an aura of wanting to make big news from the inside out.

Hui Yuan Ai blinked and immediately understood their intention.

"Wait a minute, you three..."

Before she could finish her words, Mitsuhiko interrupted her first.

"Haihara-san, don't you feel unwilling to do so!"

what?

Hui Yuan Ai was stunned by this question and wondered why he was unwilling to do so.

Immediately afterwards, Yuantai followed up: "We can't continue to hang around here. That guy Conan left us to hunt for treasure. We must take action immediately to find the treasure before him and let Conan understand the power of our young detective team." !”

"That's right!"

"That's it!"

Mitsuhiko and Ayumi also joined in.

Hui Yuan Ai's face changed slightly: "You three, listen to me, it will definitely not work this time..."

However, not even a single word of her words was conveyed. The three little ones who had made up their minds seemed to have made an agreement on their own. After cheering, they ran straight towards the high tower that they had noticed earlier.

"Wait a minute..."

Realizing that it was useless no matter how much she yelled, Haihara Ai turned to look at Dr. A Li who rolled down the window in the car and was looking out.

"I'll call them back!"

After saying that, she trotted over and followed, leaving Dr. Ali alone in the car and extending her hand through the window.

"Hey, Xiao Ai, please slow down a little and watch your step..."

"understood."

By the time Hui Yuan Ai hurried down the steps, the three little ones had already arrived at the door of the tower and put their hands on the door.
