In the wee hours of the morning, I walked lightly back to my room. After killing Pu Siqinglan, I sent a text message to Kaidou. Telling him that I had done it and that I had taken care of the aftermath, and also told him about the secret of the Romanov dynasty hidden in the egg, and Kaito, who had been waiting for my message, quickly replied to my message to confirm it, and also said that he would take the egg with him to Kasaka Natsumi's castle tomorrow. And Pu Si Qinglan's matter will not be dealt with until everyone finds out that she is missing tomorrow morning.

"You're back. Back in the bedroom, Conan asked me as soon as he could.

"Well, why haven't you slept yet?" I was surprised, it was close to four o'clock in the morning. At this time, Conan was still waiting for me to come back.

"Of course, you go out and kill... How could I possibly sleep. Conan's brow furrowed. "What did you do to her?"

"Killed. I was blunt. "No way, it's been confirmed that she is the scorpion Shi Kao. And I also resisted, if she survived, I would be exposed, and Dad and Xiaolan would also be endlessly hunted down by Russian killers, so she had to die. ”

"You didn't even think about handing her over to the police?"

"A kid subdued a killer? I pouted disdainfully. "If she cooperates, she might be able to spare her life. Pity... Forget it, let's not talk about this, Xiaolan and they haven't moved, right?"

"What time do you think it's now? Except for you and me, as well as the ship's attendants, everyone else must have gone to bed early. "At this time, Conan's mood is not very good, and yes, after all, there is another life, although it is a bad person. However, I also know Conan's thoughts at this time, so I don't use words to provoke him too much, and he can understand my distress, so I don't say much. The two men stopped talking to each other and lay down in their respective beds to get ready for sleep.

"Kaoru, the secret of that egg... After a moment of silence, Conan asked.

"It seems to have something to do with the Romanov royal family. She didn't know the specifics. Otherwise, we wouldn't have let us investigate like this, and just snatched it. I replied.

"Is that so?" Conan muttered as if he were speechless, "and what could be more precious than life?" Without further ado, Conan rolled over, sighed and fell asleep. I glanced sideways at him, then closed my eyes as well. When I opened my eyes again, the ship had already sailed to the harbor of Tokyo.

"Ah, Kaoru-chan, you're awake. "Early in the morning, I was woken up by the whistle of a cruise ship and walked out of my room to see what was going on outside. In the hall, I found Xiaolan, as well as the policemen and Kaito who had already woken up.

"Well, good morning, Sister Xiaolan. I said hello. "Why did everyone gather here early in the morning? ”

"Well, that's right. Xiaolan squatted down and whispered to me. "When I woke up with Sonoko this morning, we were going to have breakfast with Miss Kasaka and Miss Pu Si Qinglan, but when we knocked on Miss Pu Si Qinglan's door, there was no response from inside. Fearing that the prisoner was still lurking on the ship, we called the captain and asked for a spare key to open the door, but when the door opened, it was empty. Mattresses and sheets, as well as quilts and pillows, were missing, and a lifeboat was lost. So the police searched the entire ship, but they didn't see Miss Pu Siqinglan. Now the police have already started a search at sea. ”

"Hey... So, is Sister Pu Si Qinglan the murderer of Hanchuan Dragon?" I pretended to be confused.

"I don't know about this yet. Xiaolan shook her head. "There's no way to know for sure if the prisoner is Miss Pu Si Qinglan. But depending on what the police mean, they probably have already decided in that direction, right? In any case, you have to find her first. ”

"Well, then, what about our plans to go to the castle?

"I think so, we're going back to Tokyo first, and we're going to Yokosuka in Osaka the day after tomorrow. Xiaolan nodded to me.

"yes, I see. "That's fine, after all, Pu Si Qinglan is dead, and it will take some time for the police to investigate this, and we also have a chance to rest. Although the police should not be able to find Pu Siqinglan's body. Because just last night, I had thrown her into the sea with that blood-stained mattress. He also lowered a lifeboat as cover. If nothing else, in the middle of the night in the sea, the shark can perfectly erase the evidence for me. I don't need to worry about it at all. "So, can I go to breakfast now?" I digressed.

"Of course, I'll take you with me. With that, Xiaolan took my hand and walked towards the restaurant together.

―――――――――――― Detective Conan's theatrical version of the magician at the end of the century――――――――――

The next day, we set out on our way to Osaka. After a day of searching, the police did not get any clues, only found an empty lifeboat, but did not see half of Pu Siqinglan. In this regard, Officer Twilight can only express regret. And the search has been intensified. Kaito, on the other hand, continued to play the role of Officer Shiratori and participated in our trip to the castle, and of course, he also "borrowed" the egg from the Suzuki family in order to decipher the secret.

Coming to the gate of the castle, everyone was shocked by this romantic building, which is worthy of being able to appear frequently in TV commercials in the background castle, and it is really beautiful enough.

"Much like Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany. That's the prototype of Cinderella's Castle. Kuaito said this intentionally or unintentionally. Conan's face froze, and then he thought deeply. I don't know what he's thinking.

Buzzing.. Chirping...

There was a sound of brakes in our ears, and when we turned around, we saw a pure white Tesla X appear in front of our eyes. And with ...

"Yo. Conan, Kaoru. Yuantai's loud voice rang out.

"Conan, Kaoru~" Ayumi also shouted.

"How are you doing?" Mitsuhiko said.

"Hey, hey... Why are you all here? Conan rolled his half-moon eyes and said helplessly.

"Why are you here?" I asked Shiho, who was walking by.

"The doctor said he was going to deliver something to Kudo, so we came, and the kids hid in the car and came along. And I also wanted to see what this castle that appeared on TV was like. Shiho put his hands behind his back and looked at the romantic castle in front of him.

"Oh, do you like it?" the corners of my mouth curled. "Then we'll build one. ”

"You?" Shiho gave me a funny look. "I'll talk about that later. Shiho waved his hand at me. Because she also knows that I am short of funds now, although I also have this fairytale wish, but at this stage she will not bring a burden to me. On the contrary, in recent days, Zhibao has also been helping the doctor do research, hoping to sell some patent things to make up for the loopholes on my side, but compared to the patent bonus, I would rather let her not stay up late and rest early.

"It's like a castle in a fairy tale. Ayumi looked at the castle in front of her and couldn't help but lose her mind.

"Looks like there's going to be a lot of treasure in there. Mitsuhiko looked yearning.

"Hehe, I don't know how much eel rice you can eat. "Yuantai is still inseparable from eel rice.

"You guys, listen to me! You must not go in, do you know!" Because Dad didn't know that Shi Kaobing had been killed by me, he was still vigilant at this time.

"Hi~~~"

"What?!, you just said yes?" I muttered, a little startled. "Shiho, these children won't... ”

"Just as you think. Shiho spread his hands helplessly. "Don't worry, I'll be optimistic about them, and haven't you already solved that trouble?"

"Well, that's right, but there must be some other mechanism in this castle, and if you accidentally trigger some danger... Anyway, it's better to be careful. Don't let the kids be presumptuous. ”

"Hey, hey~ Killer had fun. I'll pay attention here. Shiho gave me a reassuring look and stood beside the children, and I could only shrug my shoulders. Abandon the tangled up with the children.

"Why is Mr. Qian so slow. Mr. Siru of the embassy said impatiently.

"He said he was going to a place first, and it seemed that he didn't have enough time to prepare for the day. Officer Shiratori, aka Kaito, explained.

About ten minutes later, just as everyone was about to lose their patience, a small red car slowly drove into the garden in front of the castle. It was Mr. Qian.

"Ahh Mr. Qian got out of the car and was carrying a large backpack with a bulging bag. As you walk, you can hear the gurgling sound of the objects inside colliding.

"I'll go, you're going to rob the tomb?" I whispered. You don't have to guess to know that now his backpack must be full of a series of tools such as unlocking, digging, and cutting. is really worthy of being a serious businessman, it is estimated that he has really done tomb robbery before.

"Then except for Miss Pu Siqinglan, everyone else is here, let's go in. The butler beckoned, and then went to the front of the crowd and opened the gates of the castle. Walking into the castle, everyone was once again amazed by the structure of the castle's interior. I have to say that this German-style castle does have that dignified and luxurious atmosphere, and it is no wonder that this place has become one of the locations selected for many advertisements.

Led by Natsumi Kasaka and her butler, our group began a tour of the entire castle. Different rooms have different decorations and layouts. Between knights, between noblewomen, between emperors. Each room has its own unique meaning.

"Sorry, I want to go to the bathroom. Mr. Qian said suddenly when we were visiting the Emperor. It seems that he can't help himself, and he wants to find the treasure himself. I believe that the butler has understood his intentions, but because everyone is here, he only pointed out the location of the bathroom to him, and then continued to show us around the room. Sure enough, within a few minutes, Mr. Qian's hysterical screams came from among the ladies next door. When everyone heard the sound, they hurried over, only to see Mr. Qian kneeling on the ground, panting with a miserable white face, and his right hand was stuck in a dark compartment, which was full of gold and jewelry. This made Mr. Qian's purpose for coming here exposed to everyone at once. And above his head, there was an iron sword that shone with a cold light, and I believe that if Mr. Qian reflected that he was a few tenths of a second slower, he would be cut a few holes in his head by these iron swords.

"This is a knockdown device made by Master Kiichi eighty years ago, and there are other anti-theft mechanisms in the castle, please be careful. The butler said with a clear look of understanding, and at the same time opened the wrist of Gan, who was stuck by the mechanism. As for Mr. Qian's responsibility for theft, Kaito, who is now Officer Shiratori, will naturally really hand him over to the police. However, at this stage, if Miss Kasaka doesn't care, Mr. Qian can continue to tour the entire castle with everyone. However, all the equipment he was carrying with him was detained by Kaidou. The only thing for him was a miniature flashlight.

"Na, Mr. Butler. Conan stared at the mechanism containing the gold and silver jewels for a long time, then turned to the butler. "Does this castle have a basement?"

"There is no basement. The housekeeper said truthfully.

"What about Kiichi-sang's room on the ground floor?"

"There is an office. ”

"So, where can you take us?" seemed to grasp the crux of the matter, and the corners of Conan's mouth slightly raised a triumphant smile.

"Oh, it looks like someone is willing to go find the treasure for us. I stood at the back of the crowd and laughed softly.

"It's really a detective, and he reacts quite quickly. Kaito also came up to my side and crouched down to me. "In short, the eggs are mine, and if there is no Pandora, everything is yours. You've already killed you, so don't hurt anyone again. ”

"Peace of mind, I've always kept in mind the techniques of unlocking and disarming traps that Uncle Thief taught me. I smiled at Kaito. "If there is an accident in the process, I would rather give up this entire treasure house than embarrass Uncle One. (To be continued.) )
