As for whether he was a killer, he felt that he was not. How could a killer live opposite a detective with a child? Not only did he have a girlfriend, but he was also a police officer. This was unrealistic, and it was not right to be like this when the light was shining brightly.

"Hey, since you're a killer, you should have heard of my name, right?"

"Huh?" Conan's eyes widened, looking like he was eating a melon, and then he silently distanced himself from Natsukawa.

By the way, if Uncle Xia Chuan is a killer, will he kill me to silence me later? Should I not listen to what he says next?

"What's your code name?" Tian Yan Shengnan took it a little more seriously. If it was someone from the same industry, then she would have to be a little more vigilant.

"Scorpio"

Scorpion?

Conan and Katsuo Tian both understand English. This word means scorpion, and its transliteration is scorpion.

Even when Conan was a detective, he had never come into contact with the dark world, so naturally he didn't know the reputation of this name in the dark world.

Although Tian Yan Shengnan has retired for many years because of the incident of the Egg of Memory, she still knows some things about the dark world.

"Shi Kaobing, I remember she seemed to be a female?" Tian Yan Shengnan had a strange expression.

No matter how you look at it, Xia Chuan is still a man. He remembered that the killer named Skoubing was a woman. It was fitting that she was interested in things from the Romanov dynasty, after all, the Egg of Memories was a relic of the last Tsar.

But how do we explain gender?

"Perhaps you think gender is a problem, but have you ever thought that this is just fake news I spread? After so many years in the dark world, you don't think that you can believe the rumors you heard casually.

As a killer, don't you even know how to protect yourself?

No wonder I have never heard of your name. It seems that you are just a small killer, and you have fallen to such a state that you have to work as a gardener in this castle to make a living."

Xia Chuan kept nagging and disgusting the other person. This kind of person was really weird. The castle was obviously in the wilderness. He only needed to kill everyone in the castle and then he could turn the place upside down. Isn't this easier than lurking for more than ten years?

Tian Yan Shengnan frowned, then his expression suddenly relaxed.

"Forget it. It doesn't matter whether you are Xia Chuan or Scoobing. Now I am pointing a gun at you. Even if you are Scoobing, I don't believe that you are faster than a bullet."

Yes, the advantage is mine.

Tian Yan Shengnan twisted her neck, not intending to continue arguing with Xia Chuan, and put her finger on the trigger, ready to pull the trigger.

If the other party is a killer, then you must not let your guard down and you should get rid of him as soon as possible to prevent him from having any tricks up his sleeve.

Perhaps, the delay for so long is to plan some kind of counterattack.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a white shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.

The white shadow came too suddenly, and the visibility in the secret room was not very good, so he didn't see clearly what it was. He only felt a strong pain on the back of his hand, and then he was thrown to the ground.

The pistol fell to the ground.

Tian Yan Shengnan had cold sweat on his forehead. He looked in the direction where the pistol fell, only to find that the dog named Bond had taken his pistol away.

"Well done, Bond!" Xia Chuan smiled.

I just had an argument with the other party just for this moment.

In fact, Bond woke up very early, but he seemed to be too lazy and just lay there motionless.

As for Tian Yan Shengnan.

In fact, he also discovered that when he found that Bond had woken up, he just happened to see a corner of the other's clothes sticking out from the corridor.

At first he thought the person coming might be Mamiya Dai's teammate, but he didn't expect it to be Tian Yan Shengnan who was playing the mantis stalking the cicada.

It's just that this guy was unlucky and met him and Conan.

"Wang!"

Bond came to Xia Chuan with a pistol in his mouth, wagging his tail and waiting for his master's praise.

"Good dog, I'll reward you with a king crab I caught yesterday."

Conan: "..."

Uncle Xiachuan is still so stubborn. He has already said that king crabs cannot be caught near the coast of Japan. This boast has no substance at all.

Tian Yan Shengnan, who had lost his pistol, still had the strength to resist. He took a look at the wound on his hand and felt so angry that his teeth were itching. It would be a bit stupid if he didn't know at this time that Xia Chuan was just trying to divert his attention.

The other party must have heard the name Scoobing somewhere and used it to scare him, actually just to give the great white bear dog a chance to attack him.

As expected, I haven't done any missions in a long time, and my thoughts have slowed down. Ten years ago, I would not have listened to Xia Chuan's stories and would have shot him dead.

"Uncle Xiachuan, be careful!"

Conan noticed Tian Yan Shengnan rushing towards him and warned him.

"It seems you don't feel the pain." Xia Chuan sneered, raised his foot to block Tian Yan Shengnan's sweeping kick, used his waist and palms to support the ground, and with a somersault posture, he kicked Tian Yan Shengnan in the face with a whip kick as fast as the wind.

If you slow down the action, you can see that the moment the shoe touched Tian Yan Shengnan's face, his cheek suddenly deformed, and then several teeth spurted out along with blood.

The impact was too great, Tian Yan Shengnan rolled in a spiral and was finally thrown against the wall. The back of his head hit the marble wall so hard that he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Xia Chuan played with the pistol and smiled: "I've already said it before, I'm afraid of pistols but not you, why don't you understand?"

He walked up and tied up Katsuo Tanen and Dai Mamiya, who had their faces twisted and were unconscious, together. Natsukawa took the Egg of Memories and prepared to take Conan upstairs.

"Oh, I almost forgot the key."

Xia Chuan turned back to get the key.

Conan will need the key to open the window later, and he doesn't want to come down to get it again.

After the key was pulled out, a wooden box suddenly popped out from where the Egg of Memory was originally placed.

Because of another discovery, Xia Chuan had to stop and check what was inside the wooden box.

"It seems to be a letter."

Conan came closer out of curiosity and wanted to take a look at it, but Natsukawa didn't give him a chance to dodge.

The envelope was opened, and the letter paper was densely written, clearly explaining the origin of the Egg of Memory.

It also explains how Mr. Mamiya made his fortune and the mental journey behind buying this castle.

The old man of the Mamiya family was originally just an unsuccessful student who had just graduated from university. He had a lot of knowledge but no corresponding capital.

It was not difficult to find a job at that time, but the problem was that the good industries were controlled by rich people. If he wanted to achieve something, he had to have a backer.

However, he didn't have that, and could only live as a low-level employee with a meager salary and a life of hunger and starvation.

Perhaps it was good luck that when he was about to turn 29, he met a man who changed his life.

That was a foreigner.

The foreigner admired his talent and invested a large sum of money in him.

With money paving the way, many things became much easier. Mr. Mamiya's career flourished and he gradually became famous in Tokyo.

The foreigner did not invite anyone after he became rich, saying that he was attracted by the old man Gong in the middle.

Old man Mamiya was full of gratitude. When he had accumulated enough wealth and wanted to give back, the foreigner who supported him left a letter and disappeared from Neon.

The letter recorded the reason why the other party came to Neon and the significance of building this castle. It stated that he did not need any reward from the Mamiya family, but only wanted him to guard the castle and the egg of memories inside.

Wait until one day, a natural owner will come to take away the egg of memory.

This is also the reason why Mamiya Mitsuru bought it at a high price when the government auctioned it off many years later. Everything was planned.

However, people's desire to repay kindness is always limited.

On his deathbed, old man Mamiya thought that decades had passed and no one had come to take the egg of memories, and perhaps it had been forgotten.

Then greed took over and he wanted to take it for himself.

I want to pass down this egg of memories as a family heirloom of the Mamiya family.

Chapter 257 The Value of the Castle

But he still felt a little guilty, so he decided to set up a double puzzle. If his children and descendants were lucky enough to solve the double puzzle, they would naturally get the Egg of Memory.

If there is no destiny, then let the egg of memory continue to be buried in the basement of the mountains and forests, waiting for the illusory person to take it away.

"It seems that the old man of the Mamiya family is not very moral by doing this." Conan complained.

His benefactor helped him build such a big business, but in the end he actually fell in love with his benefactor's treasure.

"Businessmen value profit over separation. The business world is like a battlefield. If you work as a businessman for a long time, your conscience will naturally disappear."

Conan glanced at Natsukawa strangely. He always felt that Natsukawa seemed to know a lot. Could he really be a rich second-generation?

"The case is almost over. It's time to call the police and ask brother Megure to come and clean up the mess." Natsukawa nodded with satisfaction. With this letter, the ownership of the Egg of Memories was basically certain.

"Uncle Xiachuan, what you just said..."

Conan didn't care much about the Egg of Memories. After listening to the story, he remembered the conversation between Natsukawa and Tian Yan Katsuo just now, and he was more concerned about this.

As an innocent little detective, he knew nothing about Scoobing, killers, the dark world, etc. However, judging from Tian Yan Shengnan's expression, Scoobing should be a very famous killer.

"You don't believe it, do you?" Xia Chuan looked at Bond with a strange expression, and said, "This is to create opportunities for Bond. You don't know how scared I was when I was pointed at by a gun.

If it weren't for you, I would have abandoned the egg of memories and ran away long ago.

Fortunately, Bond was smart enough to attack us from behind, otherwise we would both be dead here."

"is it?"

Conan didn't believe it, as he had seen Xiachuan's fighting ability before.

Xia Chuan's ten years of experience as a detective since kindergarten told him that he was not afraid at all.

Really, at that time, whether it was to Tian Yan Shengnan or to him, the feeling when Xia Chuan said that he was Shi Kaobing seemed real.

If Xia Chuan wasn't Shikaobing, his acting skills would be truly amazing.

"What about that Scorbing? Where did Uncle Xia Chuan get the news about this killer?"

"I heard about this by chance when I was abroad. It seems that this is a very powerful killer.

I was probably in New York at the time. I read the news in the newspaper. Later, when I was having dinner with a police friend, I heard him mention this name. He was a very powerful killer who liked to aim his gun at the right eye when killing people.

Conan did not respond. This sentence might fool Uncle Mori and Inspector Megure, but it couldn't fool him, the famous detective's washing machine.

However, he knew that continuing to ask would not yield any answer, so he simply stopped asking.

Anyway, the eyes have been planted in Xiachuan's house. One day he will know who Xiachuan is and what kind of monster he is.

The two of them came out from the secret passage in the second-floor room and passed through the hall on their way back to the room. Then they saw that the oil painting of the old man of the Mamiya family was tilted, revealing the secret passage behind it.

"......" × 2

The two looked at each other. Needless to say, this oil painting must have been opened by the Juvenile Suicide Group.

By the way, can’t even Haibara Ai stop them?

Natsukawa remembered that he had handed the web launcher to Haibara Ai, and told her clearly that when necessary, she could web up Anya and the three little ones to prevent them from running around.

"Uncle Mamiya Mitsuru, can I have the eel rice now?"

"Yuanta, didn't you have enough for dinner? We still have to find the key first."

Before the two of them went up, a voice was heard from the secret passage, and then several children came down one after another.

There was one person who surprised Natsukawa, it was Mitsuru Mamiya.

This guy actually got together with the young suicidal group, and I don’t know what’s going on.

"Father, father..."

Anya came down, lost her balance and fell backwards, then was lifted up by one hand.

She was about to thank him when she turned around and saw Xia Chuan, who looked unfriendly. There was no expression on Xia Chuan's face, as calm as a jar of stagnant water.

"Well...well, it was Yuantai who ran out. I followed him out to check because I was afraid he would get lost. It was definitely not my own idea."

Anya's explanation was so pale that even she didn't believe it.

"I'll take care of you when I go home."

Xia Chuan ruffled his daughter's pink hair, feeling powerless.

He told himself in his heart that this is how you raise a child. If the little beast is too well behaved, it will lose its innocence.

"Mr. Mamiya, why are you with a child?"

Mamiya Mitsuru was in high spirits, not caring that Xia Chuan's voice was a little cold, and said with a smile: "I am a light sleeper, and I heard a little noise just now, so I thought of coming out to take a look, and I happened to find this secret passage. After going up, I found that these children were all there.
