“But, sir, don’t you need to discuss this matter with the eldest lady first?” A look of surprise flashed across the gardener’s face.

“If my mother-in-law asks, you can just tell her that these people are my friends.” The middle-aged man said, “As for the reception work, I will trouble you first, I have to go back to the study to sort out some materials first.” ”

“Yes sir.”

Since he said it all, the gardener didn’t say anything more.

After the middle-aged man returned to the castle, Xiaodao Yuan, who had been carrying him all along, said weakly: “Uncle, can you put me down now?” ”

“Oh, well…” The gardener let go of his hand, then opened the large iron door and formally invited Dr. Agasa and his group in.

“I’ll show you outside first.”

This gardener is also a relatively familiar person, don’t look at his appearance and be a little fierce and vicious, but in fact, in this matter, it is the mistake that Kojima Motota took the lead.

Forcibly break in without the consent of the owner, is it possible to let people treat you with courtesy?

Walking slowly on the paved stone road, the gardener first introduced himself, his name is Katsuo Tabata, and he has been a gardener in this ancient castle for a long time.

The middle-aged man just now was named Mamiya Man, who joined the Mamiya family after the death of the original master.

At present, the biggest elder in the entire Mamiya family is Mamiya Man’s mother-in-law, that is, the eldest wife he spoke of before, Mamiya Zengdai, who is 83 years old this year.

A few more back, it is the old man who is full of the palace.

Then there is the son born to the original master, the noble young master of the palace.

The original master died of illness 6 years ago.

The wife and Mamiya Mitsuru remarried.

However, when I returned here four years ago to celebrate my eldest wife’s birthday, I lost my life in a sudden fire in the early hours of that morning.

Not only her, but also a few friends who came back with her, as well as the chief stewards and servants who had served her for so many years, a total of more than a dozen people, were engulfed in that merciless fire.

“No, look there.” Katsuo Tabata pointed to the left side of the castle, a stone tower with obvious traces of darkness.

“That’s where my wife lives.”

“Unfortunately, the only ones who escaped at that time were a newly hired maid like me and the eldest lady who slept in other bedrooms because of a cold.”

“To outsiders like us, they seem to be caught in some way…”

Since he was a guest, Katsuo Tabata was still very responsible and told Dr. Agasa next to him about the current situation in the castle and some experiences.

As for the few little fart children next to him, they were not put in his eyes at all.

At this time.

In addition to Haihara Mourning, he also listened to the story with relish.

The three children, Motota Kojima, Mitsuhiko Marutani, and Ayumi Yoshida, had already run to a chess piece taller than an adult on the lawn next to him with an excited face.

Conan was on the sidelines scheming something.

In fact, if you look closely, you can find that this lawn has been specially transformed into a chessboard style, with a square and each chess piece occupying a grid.

In the large courtyard outside the castle, this black-and-white chess board trimmed with lawns is more attractive.

“Oh yes, the young man in the light blue suit over there is the noble young master.”

Seeing the young man who was squatting in front of a white chess piece and meditating, Tabata Katsuo said: “I heard that the noble young master was sent to a certain country to live and study since he was a child. ”

“The first time I saw him, after the fire, he came back with the master,”

After a brief introduction, Katsuo Tabata did not bother him, but beckoned Dr. Agasa into the castle.

Noticing this scene, Ayumi Yoshida, who was originally curiously gathered in front of a white horse chess piece, also quickly followed.

As soon as you enter the castle, the first thing that catches the eyes of Dr. Agasa and the others is a huge portrait at the top.

On both sides, there are also two portraits, a man and a woman.

The photo at the top looked very similar to the noble man he had just seen on the lawn, and Dr. Agasa had already guessed something without asking.

Looking at these three huge portraits, Tabata Katsuo said: “The one at the top is the portrait of the eldest master, and it really looks like the noble young master.” ”

“The portrait on the left is that of the wife.”

“The portrait on the right is the master’s.”

This taste, I have to say, even as a half-breed, Gray Plain Mourning does not like this set at all.

It’s okay to look at other people’s portraits,

My own home is also going to come to this set:

Thinking of the future, as soon as the Seven Nights House entered the door, there were also several huge portraits placed in the living room, just thinking about it, Haiyuan felt a layer of goosebumps appear on his body.

It’s so oozing!

“Are there any guests at home today?”

Just when Katsuo Tabata wanted to continue to say something, he saw an old woman in a wheelchair come out of a corridor inside.

With long snow-white hair, the old face was full of vicissitudes.

“Big lady!”

Seeing the comer, Tabata Katsuo quickly took off the hat on his head and said respectfully: “These people are friends of the master, and one of them is said to be a famous scientist. ”

“Scientists.” Mamiya Masayoshi lowered his head slightly, and what no one noticed was that under the cover of a pair of round-framed glasses on his face, a flash of essence flashed.

“That’s really good, maybe you can help us solve the mystery in this castle.”

Conan’s keen sixth sense made him seem to feel a little wrong, but like Mamiya Mitsuru just now, Mamiya Masashi’s disguise was also very obscure and imperceptible.

“Is there any secret to this castle?” The sense of curiosity that rose in his heart made Dr. Agasa ignore it for a short time, because the hat was taken off, and the big round bald head that Katsuo Tabata revealed.

Katsuo Tabata explained with great eyes: “That’s right, when the eldest lord was dying, he once said that as long as he can unlock the secret of this castle, he will give him his most precious treasure. ”

“Treasure?”

Just when almost everyone was attracted to this word.

Mamiya looked around and asked, “By the way, my daughter hasn’t come back yet?” I remember she didn’t say very clearly on the phone that she was coming back to celebrate my birthday? ”

“But, big lady…” Katsuo Tabata’s face changed slightly, and he stopped talking.

“When she comes back, let her come to my room to find me.”

“When I think I haven’t seen my daughter for a long time, I feel so happy, so happy!”

Like a child, with anticipation and joy, Mamiya walked down the stairs with a puff of smoke on the wheels with both hands and turned into the corridor.

“This…”

Everyone looked confused.

Aren’t you still expecting them to crack the secrets in the castle?

Why did it suddenly get involved in something else?

“That’s right.” Katsuo Tabata said, “Since the accident happened to the wife that day, the eldest lady has been like this. ”

“So is it impossible to accept the fact that your daughter is dead?”

“Also, after all, they are all so old!”

Dr. Agasa expressed understanding.

Conan and Haibara were keenly aware of the situation in this castle, and it seemed a little unusual.

But subject to limited information, no one can say how one is not ordinary.

Anyway, Haihara feels that things seem to be getting more and more interesting.

There is also a big killing weapon sent by Qiuxing Seven Nights in the bag she carries with her, and if something happens, she can completely attack and retreat.

Don’t panic!
