Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

"Go check it out, it shouldn't be wrong!"

Being certain that his guess was correct, Xia Chuan immediately remembered that Conan seemed to be very unlucky in this case. He was hit by a club by the murderer and was unconscious for a long time.

Uh...I really want to see Conan get knocked out with a club!

"Ania is going!"

Anya was the first to raise her hand. She definitely couldn't miss such a good show. Then she raised Bond's front paw and said, "Bond said he wants to go too!"

Then, she looked at the three members of the Junior Detective Team.

The three little ones looked at each other, saw desire in each other's eyes, and immediately raised their hands.

"Okay, we already have five votes. Father, there are only four of you. Even if you disagree, the minority must obey the majority."

The corner of Xiachuan's mouth twitched. Anya was always exceptionally smart in strange ways.

Also, does Bond count as one?

And it didn't say anything, not even a single bark.

However, in the end, it was as Aniya wished.

The two cars restarted and drove in the direction Xia Chuan remembered. In less than half an hour, they saw a blue castle.

"What a beautiful castle. I didn't expect there would be such an ancient castle in the deep mountains."

Conan didn't believe it at first, but he never expected it to be true.

By the way, this castle looks like there are still people living there, so how do these people eat, drink, defecate and urinate?

The nearest village outside is more than an hour away.

It's very troublesome to buy food and water or socialize normally, right? I really don't understand why these rich people have to live in seclusion in the mountains.

"Just stop being a novelist."

He muttered, remembering vividly the robber gang's villa he and Xia Chuan had visited last time.

That time, the puzzle and the mechanism were cracked by Xia Chuan violently before they were solved. It was not fun at all.

Rather than encountering such a case, it would be better to let him visit this dreamy castle in peace.

A group of two adults and six children arrived at the main entrance of the Blue Castle.

Inside, a middle-aged man in gardener's clothes was pruning branches. He turned around when he noticed the noise.

After confirming that there was someone at the door, he put down the spray bottle in his hand and walked over.

"Hey, who are you and what are you doing here?" The man glanced at the group and found that they were two adults and six children. He continued, "I don't remember any guests today. If you are just passing by, please leave now and don't be sneaky here."

"We are not sneaking around!" Aniya retorted, "What an impolite uncle."

"If he's not sneaking around, then what is he doing?"

Following the direction of the man's finger, they saw Yuan Tai stuck between the railing gate, contracting his stomach hard, trying to squeeze himself in.

"..."

Yuan Tai felt everyone's gaze and smiled sheepishly: "I saw that the railing was quite large, so I wanted to see if I could squeeze in."

Everyone was speechless. This was indeed something Yuan Tai could do.

Anya chuckled, then walked to Yuantai, glanced at him, then easily stepped in sideways, and then stepped out again.

"Look, I went in, came out, and went in again. Hehehe, am I awesome?"

Yuan Tai:......

Why do I suddenly feel that Anya is a bit annoying?

Yuantai gritted his teeth and wanted to punch Anya, but considering that Xiachuan was right next to them, he finally stopped.

Of course, there is another reason.

That is, he first needs to get out of the gap, as if he is stuck...

"We are passers-by who came here to camp. We planned to leave early because of the weather change. We didn't expect to see this castle on the way. We were a little curious that there was such a castle in the mountains, so we wanted to come in and take a look."

Dr. Agasa explained seriously, not wanting to cause unnecessary disputes.

The Japanese people of this era were very hospitable, and Dr. Agasa felt that as long as he explained it clearly, the other party would not object to their visit.

Two adults and six children, you can tell at first glance that they are not bad people.

"Visit?" The gardener's tone immediately lowered a little, "This place is haunted, there's nothing to see."

As he spoke, he unconsciously looked back at the burnt stone tower behind him.

Ever since the lady was burned to death four years ago, there has been a legend here that the lady is seeking revenge. Previously, a new servant mistakenly entered the stone tower and disappeared for many days. He was finally found in the woods near the stone tower. When he was found, he was already dead, and he died of starvation!

When the madam died, no less than fifteen people were burned to death. There must have been a lot of resentment. The new servant was also stupid. He said there was nothing interesting in that area and wanted to get closer.

The servant's death was like a dark cloud hanging over the castle. Many people resigned and left. He was one of the few servants left.

"Haunted?"

Neither the scientist nor the famous detective believed in ghost stories, so they immediately became excited after hearing this.

"Then I want to visit even more!" Dr. Agasa and Conan said at the same time.

Dr. Agasa wanted to use scientific concepts to explain hauntings. As a scientist, he knew that so-called hauntings were probably illusions caused by some kind of radio waves or magnetic fields.

Conan was keenly aware that there might be some secret. Hauntings are usually caused by someone pretending to be a ghost or someone having something to hide.

Looking at the location of this ancient castle, it is located in the desolate mountains and wilderness with few people. There must be some unknown secrets hidden in it.

The two sides argued again, and Xia Chuan found some melon seeds to crack while waiting for the male host to come out.

"Almost?"

"What do you mean almost?" Haibara Ai looked at her nominal father strangely. Every time the other party muttered, he would always say something strange.

Xia Chuan shrugged and looked towards the castle.

Soon, a middle-aged man walked towards the castle.

The middle-aged man was wearing a gorgeous suit, and you could tell from its texture and color that it was worth a lot of money.

"What a weird uncle, why do you have to wear a suit at home?" Aniya complained in a low voice.

Xia Chuan suddenly looked down at Anya, and felt that Anya's words were double entendre.

He himself seems to wear a suit at all times, and so does Kogoro Mouri.

However, wearing a suit at home is a bit pretentious. Unless he is going out, he usually wears a white T-shirt and casual trousers.

"Tian Yan, what happened?" the man asked with full energy.

"Master Aman, these guys said they wanted to visit the castle, but they seem sneaky and don't look like good people. This kid just tried to get in through the crack in the door."

Tian Yanshengnan pointed at Yuan Tai who was still stuck in the door and said, "Even if he's not a bad guy, I'm afraid that such a disobedient child will trample on the flowers and plants after he comes in. If he damages them, the old lady might blame him."

Tian Yan Shengnan had no choice. The mother of the deceased hostess of the castle was not an easy person to get along with. These flowers and plants were her favorite things. If they were damaged by these children, he, a worker, would be the one who would be unlucky.

"What sneaky people! We are not. I am Dr. Agasa, a well-known scientist in Japan. Don't slander me here. These kids are all good kids."

Dr. Agasa was already in a bad mood, and he was very unhappy when this snobbish gardener pointed at his nose and scolded him.

With his fame, everyone who knows him is polite to him. The only person who can order him around like this is his sponsor!

"the scientist?"

Mamiya Mitsuru was stunned for a moment, looking up and down at Dr. Agasa, not paying any attention to the others. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Since he is a scientist, he should be very smart, right?"

"Of course."

The other party's expression gave Dr. Agasa a bad feeling, but now that things had come to this point, he certainly couldn't show his weakness, otherwise where would he put his face as a famous scientist?

"In that case, come in and take a look.

It just so happens that I was just thinking of going out to find a detective to help me solve this mystery that has remained unsolved for many years."

Upon hearing this, Tian Yan Shengnan's expression suddenly changed.

"Master Aman, it's the old lady's side."

This villa belongs to the Mamiya family. Mamiya Mitsuru is the son-in-law and adopted son. It is not so good to allow others to come in so easily. The old lady will get angry again soon.

You know, before the old lady died, she was the one who had the final say in the castle.

"Don't worry, just say they are my friends. If my mother is not satisfied with anything, I will explain it to her. Please help me entertain these people first."

Mamiya Mitsuru waved his hands to show that he didn't care. Compared to the "precious treasure" that made him so anxious, dealing with the matter of his deceased wife's mother was just a small problem.

"OK then."

Mamiya Mitsuru nodded and left, asking Katsuo Tanen to entertain the few people. Since someone had already come to his door, he didn't need to look for Kogoro Mori who had become famous recently. He should first see if this so-called scientist could find the answer for him.

He also had to tell the maid to prepare more dinner.

In addition, he also needs to appease his mother, Mamiya Dai. This old guy is very resistant to outsiders.

Tian Yanshengnan reluctantly led a few people into the garden and walked towards the ancient castle in front.

The children had stars in their eyes and showed great interest in the flowers in the garden.

Conan looked around with a scrutinizing gaze, thinking about the puzzle that the man named Mamiya Mitsuru had just mentioned.

Puzzles, ancient castles, haunted places, his blood immediately boiled!

Conan looked back at Natsukawa, hoping that he would not disturb him from solving the case this time.

"What are you thinking about?" asked Huihara Ai.

"Tell me, is there any connection between hauntings and puzzles?"

Along the way, the gardener Tian Yan Shengnan introduced to them the reason for the so-called haunting. It was caused by a fire that occurred in the direction of the stone tower four years ago. Many people died in that fire, and after that, that area became a forbidden area.

Later, another servant disappeared in the stone tower and was finally found in the forest next to the tower. He had starved to death when he was found. Since then, rumors of ghosts have spread.

“How should I know? This is your detective’s business. I’m here to relax.

Research is already overwhelming me, so please don't burden me with this kind of thing, okay?"

"I'm not forcing you to study." Conan muttered softly. Although I didn't force you, it was almost the same.

Haibara Ai has a strong sense of self-esteem, so she didn't say this out loud, otherwise she would be so angry that she would stay in the laboratory and not come out.

"what is this?"

Ayumi stopped in front of the gate, stared at the white horse sculpture in front of her and asked curiously.

As in the original plot, Conan and Haibara Ai explained to a few little friends what chess is.

"Is there anyone in the villa who likes chess?" Dr. Agasa made a quick estimate. The chess landscape was about ten square meters in size and was placed directly at the door. If the owner of this house didn't like chess, he would definitely not do it this way.

It kind of obstructs the view.

"As for chess...I don't think so."

Tian Yanshengnan put her hands on her hips and looked at the sky, thinking for a moment, "I have been in the castle for many years, and except for the current master, the mistress who died four years ago, and the first master who died of illness six years ago, none of them likes chess.

However, the one who ordered me to continue to maintain this landscape was Master Mamiya Shinzo, who died of illness six years ago. I heard from others that this seemed to be the last words left by the previous owner of the castle, the father of my wife who died four years ago. "

"Is the puzzle of the castle also left by Madam's father?"

Conan grasped the key point.

Although he didn't see anything on the chessboard, it was possible that anything left behind by his wife's father was related to the so-called puzzle.

This is not groundless, otherwise, my wife's father had been dead for so many years, this place should have been changed into something else long ago. After all, having a huge chess landscape at the door sometimes blocks the view.

Chapter 250 The Legal Effect of a Will

The key point is that these people don’t like chess, so it must be the strong request of the person who set the puzzle back then.

"Well, that's right."

Tian Yan Shengnan was a little surprised that a child could find out that there was something wrong with this design so quickly.

But what does it matter? More than a decade has passed, and the landscape has not changed at all, but the mystery has never been solved.

"I know what you're thinking, but after so many years, if there really were any secrets in chess, they should have been solved long ago.

My child, you should pay more attention to this flower garden. This is the result of my efforts for more than ten years. It is such a beautiful scenery. It is beyond words. "
