Conan: Gin, do you want to learn crime from me?

However, the letter explained the truth about the treasure and the fact that the first lady had been replaced, but it did not mention how to find the treasure.

Before seeing the treasure, Mamiya Man didn't dare to relax at all.

What's more, although the eldest lady has been impersonated, if he says it rashly now, I'm afraid no one in the family will believe the words of his son-in-law.

Everyone will just think that he is crazy because he wants to inherit the family property, and even his cheap son will be hurt at this time.

Therefore, the most important thing is to find the treasure as soon as possible. Right now, this doctor named Agasa is the savior in Mamiya Mitsuru's eyes.

Thinking of this, Mamiya nodded silently in his heart, and then enthusiastically took Dr. Agas hand and began to introduce the castle.

"Mr. A Li, you said you are a doctor, right? If you are a doctor, you should be very smart, right?"

Dr. A Li scratched his head: "Yes, I am indeed a doctor, but I am really not smart."

Mamiya Mitsuru waved his hand and said indifferently:

"None of this matters, but Doctor, are you interested in doing me a favor? How about taking it as my reward for taking you in?"

Hearing this, no matter how neurotic Dr. Ali was, he realized something was wrong at this time.

Dr. A Li frowned and said, "Mr. Mamiya, do you have anything you need our help with? If it's something within my ability, I'm definitely willing to help."

Seeing that Dr. Agasa did not refuse, a smile appeared on Mamiya Mitsuru's lips, and then he pulled Dr. Agasa quietly towards the garden aside.

Watching Dr. Agasa being dragged away by Mamiya Mitsuru, the three little ones immediately set their sights on Shanmu. Seeing this situation, Shanmu acted as a temporary guardian, taking the three little ones with Conan and Xiao Ai. Went inside the castle.

Along the way, Gardener Tabata has been introducing every structure in the castle to Sugi and others. Although he doesn't know why Mr. Gu invited them into his home and even asked him to take a few people to visit.

It's just that as a servant, it's definitely impossible for him to openly question his master.

Even if the owner is just a brother-in-law.

"This is the portrait of the deceased lord. Next to him is the portrait of the deceased lord's daughter, the madam. The eldest gentleman was witty by nature. When he was seriously ill, he always pretended to be dead to scare the servants.

So when that day really came, the servants all thought it was a joke made by the elder, but no one expected that it actually happened, and it happened so suddenly..."

Standing in the hall of the castle, Gardener Tabata pointed to the two giant portraits hanging on the wall and introduced them one by one to Sugi and others.

In fact, what he said was all hearsay. When the eldest master and his wife died, he had not come to work in the Mamiya family. These anecdotes were told by the uncle and the young master when they usually chatted with them.

There are no old servants in this castle now. All the servants who once followed the eldest master and his wife died in the fire four years ago.

Sighing silently in his heart, Gardener Tabata originally wanted to take Sugi and others closer to see the portrait of the great master, but he didn't want a wheelchair to rush into the hall at just this moment.

"Where is my daughter? Is my daughter back? Why doesn't this unfilial daughter come to see me when she's back?"

Everyone looked around and saw a white-haired old woman with a face that was so dry that she could even put to shame the bark of a tree, pushing her wheelchair back and forth in the hall.

Behind the old woman, a well-dressed young man ran over tiredly:

"Grandma, can we go back to the room first? I will bring mom to see you later. If you don't eat well, I will send mom away soon!"

"I...I understand, noble man, please don't be so cruel to grandma."

As if aware of the noble man's harsh tone, the old woman's eyes became a little timid, and she reluctantly pushed the wheelchair back to the depths of the corridor.

Seeing that the old woman left very cooperatively, the noble man couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Shanmu and others.

"Mr. Tabata, who are these?"

"Master, you are here. These are my guests, and there is also a doctor named A Li. I have been called to chat with you now. Before I left, I asked me to show them around."

When he heard that the noble man was talking to him, Tabata's attitude suddenly became respectful, completely different from when Mamiya Mitsuru was talking to him just now.

Sugi didn't have any unexpected emotions about this, because Mamiya Takato and Mamiya Mitsuru were different. He came from the Mamiya family bloodline, and he was destined to become a master in the future.

If the servants have a good relationship with their successor, they will be able to work more easily in the future.

After listening to Tabata's description, Mamiya Takato nodded towards Sugi and the others, which was regarded as a greeting.

"In that case, Mr. Tabata, please take the guests to the study room and find some books for the children to read."

Having said that, Lord Mamiya walked in the direction in which the old woman left just now. This was actually a very rude thing. When the guest was still present, the host should accompany the guest.

There is only one explanation for why Mamiya Takato did this, and that is that he did not regard Shanmu and the others as guests, but only as foreign aid brought in by his cheap father.

For competitors, there is no need for false polite words.

"That one just now was the young master of our family, and that old woman was the wife of the late eldest master, who is also our current head of the house, the eldest lady. However, because of the fire four years ago, the eldest lady was not only paralyzed, but even I’m not very conscious either, I always thought that Madam is still alive…”

After Mamiya Takato left, Tabata briefly told Sugi about their situation, and then led Sugi and others to the study.

After they arrived at the study, Shan Mu, who had been holding Xiao Ai's hand, couldn't help but have a smile on his lips.

If he remembered correctly, it was the secret passage in this study that gave Conan a solid beating.

It's a pity that he probably never got to see this scene.

Chapter 56 Conan: I am 17 years old. No, is there a problem with me falling in love in kindergarten?

After retracting his little thoughts, Shanmu looked at the three little ones with shining eyes in front of him and waved at them to release the seal.

Upon seeing this, the three little ones immediately cheered. You must know that they have been holding back for a long time, and now they can finally start the adventure. Is there anything more exciting than this?

However, after a burst of cheers, Gentai and Ayumi had already slipped into the next room. Only Mitsuhiko stayed there, looking at Xiao Ai and hesitating to speak:

"Um...Haihara-san, do you want to come with me..."

"No, Xiao Ai likes to read. It's better for you two to go play and don't disturb her reading."

Before Xiao Ai could speak, Shanmu knelt down and rubbed Mitsuhiko's head, rejecting the freckled boy very "politely".

Feeling the temperature on top of his head, Mitsuhiko shuddered unconsciously: "Okay then...???"

After saying that, Mitsuhiko walked out of the room in despair.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ai couldn't help but laugh:

"Brother Sugi, you will leave a psychological shadow on Tsuburaya-san. I'm afraid he will think of you again if he wants to talk to a girl in the future."

Smiling, Shanmu ruffled Xiao Ai's hair:

"It doesn't matter. It's not good for today's children to be too precocious. It's better to concentrate on studying before they grow up. Thinking about puppy love at a young age is not a good sign."

Xiao Ai: "Ah? Brother Shanmu, do you think Tsuburaya-san thinks that way?"

A trace of amusement flashed in his heart. The old Xiao Ai could naturally see through Mitsuhiko's little thoughts at a glance. However, these people were still classmates after all, and some words that were too decisive would be counterproductive.

In her opinion, the best way is to hit a wall in reality and let Mitsuhiko retreat before the difficulties. This is a good thing for everyone.

You must know that during this period of time, this freckled child named Mitsuhiko has expressed his different feelings towards her several times, either openly or covertly, but every time he was calmly covered up by Xiao Ai.

Now Brother Shanmu takes action in person. Although it goes against Xiao Ai's original plan, it still makes her feel a little different.

"I probably know what that kid Mitsuhiko is thinking, but in my opinion, it's best for children not to fall in love before, even if they are 17 years old!"

Conan on the side: "..."

I always feel like Brother Shanmu is dissing me...

At this time, Conan was about to pick up a mystery novel from the bookshelf to pass the time, but he didn't want to be suddenly clicked on, which made him want to calm down and read the book.

Just as restless as him was Xiao Ai. After hearing Shan Mu's words about not falling in love before, Xiao Loli had even more thoughts in her mind.

Because of a coincidence, she was just one year older than Kudou Shinichi and Xiaolan before she became younger, so she was "just" at the age that Brother Sugi said she could fall in love with.

可是为什么杉木哥特意提到的是呢？日本法定成年年龄应该是20岁才对啊？（2022年4月1日，日本《民法》修正案规定，日本法定成年年龄从20下调到了18，本文依旧采用20岁的说法）

Is it possible that Brother Shanmu is at the right age for him?

Xiao Ai couldn't help but feel a little hot in her heart. She really didn't expect that her conditions were exactly in line with Brother Shanmu's criteria for choosing a mate.

Somehow, Xiao Ai felt that this must be the blessing from her sister.

At the same time, Shanmu didn't care so much. After seeing that Xiao Ai blushed after he said a few words, he walked to the window a little embarrassed and opened the window.

Under the window, there happens to be the "chessboard" in the garden designed by the Mamiya family master. Naturally, there is a secret hidden in it.

Originally, this secret should have been discovered by Conan first, but because of his arrival and the anonymous letter, Mamiya Mitsuru did not choose to rashly reveal the mystery of the Mamiya family in front of everyone.

Without external conditions, Conan would naturally not be able to discover the mystery so easily. All this would have to wait until the doctor came back before he could tell him.

But, Conan, can you really still hear the riddle the Doctor said?

With a sneer in his heart, Shanmu glanced at his watch, and then took Xiao Ai to the next room.

He smoothly pulled Yuantai down, who was about to climb up the window sill, and Shan Mu stayed in this room with Xiao Ai to read.

The three little ones who almost made a mistake saw Shan Mu coming over, and the three of them were a little panicked. However, after a while, Shan Mu still didn't scold them, which made them relieved.

Then the three little ones sneaked back into the study room where they started. Now except for Ayumi, Genta who made two mistakes and Mitsuhiko who was stopped from flirting with a girl are now a little afraid of Sugi.

However, when they returned, Conan, who was supposed to be in the room, was nowhere to be seen, leaving only books scattered on the floor and a chair placed in front of the bookshelf.

Seeing this situation, although the three little ones were just children, they should have felt something was wrong, but the three little ones' reaction was unexpectedly calm.

Classmate Conan, it’s like this every time. When he finds something good, he runs there by himself and doesn’t take them to drink soup at all!

Feeling a little dissatisfied, Ayumi directly chose to complain to Shanmu.

After ignoring Genta and Mitsuhiko's dissuasion, Ayumi told this gentle-looking elder brother all her suspicions.

"Conan-san must have gone on an adventure secretly! Masked Brother, please lead us to find him!"

Seeing that Ayumi had finished her complaint, Gentai and Mitsuhiko suddenly became angry and echoed:

"That's right, Conan-san leaves us to play alone every time."

"They say they are teammates of the Junior Detective Team. I think Conan just doesn't like to play with us!"

Looking at the three angry little ones in front of him, Shanmu smiled helplessly, and then slapped their heads:

"Okay, I guess Conan has gone to the bathroom. He's a kid who's not much older than you. How could he dislike you? It's you. When Conan comes back, you have to have a good chat with him. Let’s talk, it’s not a good thing for children to accumulate such a lot of resentment.”

"Hai~ (Okay)"

After waiting beside Shan Mu and Xiao Ai for a long time, the three little ones never waited for Conan to return to the team, but they did look forward to the return of Dr. A Li.

As soon as he entered the door, Dr. Ari hurriedly explained the riddle that Mitsuru Mamiya told him.

This question is too difficult. Dr. Ali really can’t do it...

Chapter 57 Dr. Ali: I gave it to you for free, I’m sorry...
