The law of heirs is more flexible, with different distribution methods based on different family situations. It is not a simple relationship between first and second priority.

Although Mamiya Mitsuru and Mamiya Takato are not the first in line, they also have the right of inheritance if the treasure is really discovered.

"No, what I mean is that no matter who solves the puzzle, the treasure will belong to the Mamiya family. They don't need to be like this now. Look at them, they are at loggerheads. Do they still look like a family?"

Conan felt that Natsukawa must have discovered something and chose to use this method to trick people... Bah, it's a case solved.

As for the last sentence, uh... it seems to make sense, but Conan doesn't think Natsukawa is the kind of person who would meddle in other people's family disputes.

Chapter 251 Uncle Xia Chuan, don’t be impulsive!

After the two left, a crack suddenly appeared in the wall at the corner of the corridor, and the crack gradually became larger.

Through the gap, a pair of eyes stared at the two people as they left, then closed the door again. The wall was closed tightly, and there was no sign that there was a secret passage here.

Dr. Agasa arrived late and found that the sound just now was just a false alarm. He was slightly relieved. He was really afraid that Genta would make some noise again.

"What happened?"

"It's okay, it was a close call." Natsukawa told Dr. Agasa the whole story.

The more Dr. Agasa listened, the more frightened he became. He put his hands on his hips and stared at Genta for a few seconds. He found that the other party was looking at him with confusion. He sighed helplessly. After all, he was a first-grade elementary school student, and he couldn't expect him to be the same as Shinichi.

"Yuanta, don't do such dangerous things next time."

"understood."

Knowing he was in the wrong, Genta nodded and pushed Ayumi and Mitsuhiko to explore other places.

"Ania, aren't you going with us?" Ayumi asked, turning back.

"No, Aniya needs to find the entrance to the secret passage."

Anya took out a magnifying glass from somewhere, put a toy pipe in her mouth, and hunched over like Sherlock Holmes, with one hand behind her back and the other hand groping on the wall.

Bond was like her little follower, wearing a Sherlock Holmes hat and following her closely.

"Hey, how did Ania know?" Conan asked Haibara Ai.

Haibara Ai was with Anya the whole time, she should know something.

Huiyuan Ai was also confused and spread her hands. "I'm not a worm in her stomach, how can I know what she is thinking? By the way, is there really a secret passage here?"

Conan nodded, then looked at the window: "There is something wrong with the distance between the two windows. There must be a lot of space in the wall. It can't be solid. However, the existence of this secret passage seems to have nothing to do with the puzzle."

"Have you solved the puzzle yet?"

"Yes." Conan nodded. "If we put the white pieces in these chess pieces together using English and coordinates, they should mean [self-righteous intellectuals]"

"A self-righteous intellectual?"

Conan nodded, then glanced at Xiachuan and found that Xiachuan was accompanying Aniya to check the secret passage, and then continued, "This is the meaning of the white pieces. I haven't figured out the meaning of the black pieces yet, but if you remove the white pieces and only look at the black pieces, it seems that they are connected to the letter G.

However, this seems to have nothing to do with the secret passage. Could it be that the secret passage is the way to the treasure, and [Self-righteous intellectual] and the letter G are the answers?

But if this is the case, there should be a mystery about the secret passage left behind."

Conan was a little confused.

If you don't find the distance between the two windows, you won't be able to find the existence of the secret passage at all. Even if you solve the chess puzzle, you won't be able to find the answer without knowing the secret passage.

Moreover, judging from the situation of this family, it is obvious that they are unaware that there is a secret passage in their home.

Anya quickly found the location of the hole in the wall, but pushing and shoving had no effect.

Even if it was Xia Chuan who was in charge, the situation would be the same.

Suddenly, Xia Chuan began to doubt his memory. Could it be that there was no secret passage in this place?

But it shouldn't be like that! He vaguely remembered that it seemed to be this place. And the sound of knocking on the wall was indeed wrong.

No, there should be a way to open it, a switch!

Xia Chuan glanced back and forth across the wall, finally fixing his gaze right above the hole.

He found that there was a mechanical clock hanging above the hole in the wall. The clock seemed to be out of power and was not working, and it stopped at 5:24.

"If we adjust the clock to a certain time, the secret door will open." Conan said confidently.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuan stretched out his hand. Being tall, he just managed to reach the clock. He easily opened the glass cover on the surface and began to adjust it clockwise.

However, after a circle, the hollow wall did not react at all.

Xia Chuan moved the hour hand. If it had any effect, it should have been opened by now.

Conan was also confused.

"Am I wrong?" Conan muttered to himself.

Xia Chuan tried the minute hand again, but still to no avail.

A little weird.

"Is it because of disrepair that the secret door has broken down?" Dr. Agasa said seriously, "After all, this is a secret left behind fifteen years ago, and this castle has a history of at least fifty years. It has not been maintained for such a long time, so the secret door may have broken down.

This also explains why the other members of the Mamiya family didn't know about the secret door. It was probably because it was so long ago that the old man of the Mamiya family forgot about it, so he didn't tell anyone else about the secret passage."

"It seems that this possibility is not impossible." Xia Chuan frowned.

That being said, he remembered that Conan could open this secret door.

What went wrong?

Could it be...

Xia Chuan glanced outside the door and remembered the old lady who had just come into this room.

He remembered that guy was the real murderer. He couldn't open the secret door by himself. Did she do something after she left?

After all, the other party has stayed in the castle for so many years, maybe he has the means to completely close the secret door.

If that's the case, it's interesting. If you don't let me drive, I'll drive anyway!

Natsukawa suddenly smiled, attracting Conan's attention.

Before Conan could speak, Xia Chuan waved his hand and said, "You guys step back a little."

"Uncle Xiachuan..." Conan's face froze, and he already knew what Xiachuan was going to do. "Don't be impulsive! Even if you want to break it violently, you must first obtain the owner's consent."

What does the owner’s consent mean?

Inside the secret passage, Nishikawa Wumei, the former housekeeper who had disguised herself as old lady Mamiya Dai, frowned, not quite understanding what the child outside the secret door meant by this sentence.

She just put her head close to the secret door, trying to listen carefully to what was going on inside.

boom--

The stone secret door shook violently, and dust appeared in the secret passage.

Nishikawa Wumei felt as if something heavy had hit his head, his mind went blank and his ears were buzzing.

It took her several seconds to recover and she looked at the secret door in front of her with indignation.

"Hey! Isn't this too much?"

Nishikawa Wumei murmured something, looked at the steel pipe that he had leaned against the secret door, and felt a little at a loss.

Could it be that the other party is planning to break through here?

What the hell is this guest?

As the little kid said, shouldn't you inform the host before you use any violence?

You've already started destroying my house before I, the owner, have given my consent. Isn't that a bit too much? I'm going to call the police!

boom--

There was another fierce impact, and Nishikawa Wumei found that the secret door had begun to loosen, and the steel pipe he was leaning against the secret door also showed signs of bending.

Xichuan Wumei was extremely annoyed. Not only had the existence of the secret passage been discovered by these visitors, but now they were trying to break into it using such means. Was all his years of planning going to be wasted?

She originally thought that after stopping Mamiya Mitsuru, these people would calm down, but she didn't expect these outsiders to be so stubborn and didn't consider herself as an outsider at all!

In order to find the secret treasure of her master who died fifteen years ago, she had plastic surgery to transform herself into an old lady. For this, she also caused a fire four years ago that killed more than a dozen people. After paying so much, how could she give up in such a place?

Every night she would dream of the fire four years ago. Those who she had killed kept cursing her in the flames, as if they wanted to drag her into hell with them.

Even so, she managed to pull through.

But today...can my plan succeed?

She barricaded herself against the secret door, with her feet propped up on the opposite wall, hoping to prevent any uninvited guests from breaking in.

However, the effect was not good, and the next two impacts made her a little dazed again.

"No, we can't stay here any longer."

Nishikawa Wumei forced herself to remain calm. She had already thoroughly explored the secret passages in the castle and was sure that there was no treasure inside. She had not wanted to reveal it before because she wanted to keep the secret. Now that she could not keep it, she let them know. The treasure was not inside anyway.

Next time when I go out at night to look for clues, I just need to be careful not to be discovered.

Thinking of this, Xichuan Wumei said no more. He took a few quick steps, picked up a skeleton under the stairs, and ran away.

This skeleton is exactly the person she is impersonating, Mamiya Dai. She cannot put the skeleton here, otherwise people might guess that her identity is fake.

Not long after she left, the secret door was kicked open with a bang.

The revolving secret door was hit by a huge force and turned several times after it opened before stopping.

"It seems that someone doesn't want us to discover this secret door." Xia Chuan walked into the secret door and picked up the steel pipe on the ground.

"That person is probably among the Mamiya family or their servants." Conan turned on the watch-shaped flashlight and shone the light on the stairs at the end of the secret passage. "This seems to lead to somewhere."

After saying that, Conan wanted to go down and find out what was going on.

"Wait a minute!" Xiachuan stopped Conan who was about to go down, and pushed several followers out of the secret door.

"What?" Conan asked in confusion.

"somebody is coming."

Xia Chuan closed the door and looked outside.

Soon, the sound of footsteps was heard, and Tian Yanshengnan holding a small shovel came into view.

"what's going on?"

Tian Yanshengnan frowned and looked around the room, "What was that noise just now? What are you doing here?"

"It's okay. Conan accidentally slipped and hit the back of his head against the wall." Xiachuan said.

"But I seemed to hear the sound many times." Tian Yan Shengnan looked at Conan suspiciously. The little brat didn't look like a well-behaved kid. Could he have damaged the wall?

He turned to look at Yuan Tai and said, "Little Fatty, be careful and stop messing around, or the old lady will kick you out and you'll have to sleep in the forest tonight."

He felt that this little fat boy must have done something just now. After all, from beginning to end, this little fat boy was the most naughty.

Just now, he saw the other person almost fall out of the window in the yard. In short, these little brats don't seem to be at peace.

"Humph!"

Yuan Tai curled his lips and didn't explain anything.

Tian Yan Shengnan checked the room, found nothing wrong, and left with doubts.

After Tian Yan Sheng Nan left, Conan asked curiously: "Why didn't you tell him?"

"You also said that the person who blocked the door just now was among these people. What if Tian Yanshengnan was the one who blocked the secret door just now?"

Natsukawa's suspicion was confirmed by Conan, who nodded, stroking his chin and walked out of the room.

The answer to the chess puzzle can be seen at a glance, but the meaning of the puzzle still makes people curious. Whether it is related to the secret passage or whether this castle has other secrets remains unknown.

Self-righteous intellectuals, what does this sentence really represent?

Because of Natsukawa's intrusion, the plot changed. Conan did not know from the conversation at first that the self-righteous intellectual actually referred to the owner of the castle who died fifteen years ago.

I would never think of the bright oil painting in the living room.

"Father, what should we do next?" Aniya looked around and whispered, "When no one is around, let's go into the secret passage and check the situation. Let's take Conan with us."

From Anya's perspective, she learned that the future would be that Conan would enter the secret passage and be hit by a club.

She really wanted to record this scene. With this video, she could show it to the other three members of the Junior Detective Team to reduce Conan's voice in the team.

Children's thoughts are simple. Ania just wants the other members of the Junior Detective Team to revolve around her, and Conan's existence is a stumbling block.
