0653 Treasure in the Castle
Saturday, March 20th, before evening, Hachioji City, a cyan castle villa in the mountains around Mt. Naka-Takao and Mt. Jinma in the Tama Hills.
Dr. Asasa brought Shibara, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Motota to a room on the second floor, "These two door-to-door rooms are our rooms. β
Ashbara looked at it, chose to see Dr. Asasa's car, and the room with a view of the courtyard, and asked everyone to go inside, then took the door and locked it.
Dr. Asa whispered, "What are you ......?"
Glancing at the three Ayumi who were walking around the room, Gray Yuan whispered, "You come with me." Then he took Dr. Asa to the window, "You're watching right here." β
"What?" Dr. Asa didn't understand.
"There is a problem with the people here. Gray Plains whispered.
"What!" Dr. Asasa shouted, luring the three of them over.
"It's nothing, you guys go watch TV, will it turn on? I'll turn it on for you." Gray Yuan turned on the TV.
Ayumi said, "Graybara-san, I'm worried about Conan. β
"Is there something wrong?" Mitsuhiko asked.
"Didn't you call the Maori detectives, and was there something going on?" asked Motota.
Mitsuhiko said, "Gray Yuan-san, if there is anything, you can tell me. β
Ayumi asked, "Did something happen to Conan?"
"yes, yes," said Motota, "Conan, though a little childish, doesn't look like him at all when he leaves quietly. β
"Childish?" Dr. Asa asked.
"Of course, I don't do anything about rolling on the ground when I lose. Yuan Tai said with some smugness.
"There's nothing to be proud of. Dr. Asasa said with a smile in his eyes.
"Okay. "He may have been arrested for discovering the secrets of the castle." β
"The secret in the castle? did he find the treasure?" asked Yuan Tai with some excitement.
"What are you listening to, I'm talking about Conan now. Ayumi said angrily.
"I'm sorry. Yuan Tai said.
"So, the mechanism for the secret entrance is the bell you were about to broadcast just now?" asked Mitsuhiko.
"Oh, I wasn't playing a prank. Dr. Asa said, then noticed that Ashbara had sent a pair of white eyes, and laughed embarrassedly.
Ayumi asked, "So, Mr. Guijin, who stopped Ashbara-san, is the bad guy?"
"And the gardener. Yuan Tai said.
"I thought it was them," Gray Plains said, "but they didn't stop me from calling, so it shouldn't be." β
"Uh, weren't you on the phone?" Dr. Asa asked.
Sending a pair of white eyes again, Gray Yuan said, "I want to go outside, so the chances of escaping here are better." β
"Escape?" Dr. Asasa was taken aback, "why is that?"
"Don't you understand? The late-night fire wasn't an accident at all. "That person will kill so many people for the sake of treasure, and he won't hesitate to kill a few more." β
"What!" Dr. Asa and the four were taken aback.
"How do you know?" asked Dr. Asasa.
"I don't know. "I only know that guy knows." β
"That guy?" Mitsuhiko asked.
"Do you mean Conan?" asked Motota.
"ThisβIf that's it, Ke, Conan, he ......," Ayumi asked in a trembling voice.
"Don't worry, he can't die. "The murderer will not kill him now, but will slowly starve him to death, and then throw him out into the forest, so that the notoriety of this forest will go out, and there will be no tourists here, which is why we have come all the way and have not seen any tourists, so that he can continue to look for his treasure." β
Mitsuhiko said, "So when Uncle Mori comes, you can rescue Conan." β
"That's good. Ayumi patted her chest.
Dr. Asa asked, "You mean, the former servant was starved to death?"
"Of course, this is not a vast no-man's land, unless you can't move, as long as you go to a high place, you will always meet the tourists who are boarding. Gray Yuan said.
"Yes, indeed. Dr. Asasa said.
"In that case," Yuan Tai licked his lips, "Gray Yuan-san, the treasure is still here?"
Mitsuhiko asked, "Do you know where it is?"
"I don't know," said Graybara, "but if the chess board in the courtyard was intentionally created by the treasure collector, then the chess pieces themselves should have hidden clues about the treasure, which should not be wrong, and the guy thinks so." β
Looking at the chess pieces in the courtyard, Dr. Asa asked, "Do you know what those chess pieces represent?"
"How could I possibly know that?" said Graybara, "if anyone can solve it, it must be the curious reasoning freak who has disappeared in the castle." β
"Reasoning freak?" Ayumi laughed, "That's true." β
At this time, someone knocked on the door and said that dinner was ready.
"Great, I don't know if there is eel rice. Yuan Tai said that he wanted to open the door, but was stopped by Gray Yuan, "You are not allowed to go out." β
"Is this ......," Dr. Asasa asked.
"We're just staying here. Gray Yuan said as he broadcast the TV to a channel showing animation, turning up the voice, "Let's just say that we will go after watching the cartoon, maybe it will be there, well, around seven o'clock in the evening, let them eat by themselves, don't wait for us." β
"Why?" asked Motota.
"What if the Maori detectives come and they're tricked back?" said Graybara, "and we're here to watch the way back just to be safe." Then he said to Genta, "If you're hungry, eat the food we brought." β
"Oh well. Yuan Tai said dejectedly.
Dr. Asa replied to the servant, and then stood guard by the window, and the four of them really watched the cartoon, and took out the food for camping, spread it on the ground and ate it. Of course, Dr. Asasa was indispensable, but he was only given soda crackers and mineral water, and he could only stare at the canned food, mainly luncheon meat and swallow saliva. β¦β¦
On the other side, at six o'clock in the evening, in the mountains outside the cyan castle villa, Maori was in the car.
Yamazaki sat in the passenger seat, Ran sat in the back seat, and Mei Daiko originally wanted to come, but the leave under the pretext of treasure hunting was unsuccessful.
"Where the hell is it?" Lan was a little anxious.
"Don't rush anymore, it's okay. Maori exclaimed, too, with some anxiety, "Didn't you ask before?" β
"It's been a long time," Lan asked, "Dad, you're not going to get lost, are you?"
"What nonsense," Maori shouted back, "I'm not you." β
"Be careful. Yamazaki noticed that someone in front of him had run to the front of the car.
"Watch out for what?" Maori turned around, then noticed the situation and immediately stepped on the brakes, and Lan couldn't stop hitting his head.
Seeing the man clearly, Maori stuck his head out of the car window, "It's you kid, what are you doing all of a sudden." β
"Hey, hey," Conan said with an embarrassed smile, "and came over when I heard my uncle's voice." β
Yamazaki looked at Conan, covered in dust, and there were still leaves on his hat, so to speak, from the tunnel. Before that, the phone call was that he ran away on an expedition without saying hello, making people think that he was missing, and contacted the castle about the matter, and called to ask for help. Wait, if this guy isn't there, who sees what's wrong in the castle, Dr. Asasa?
"Conan!" Ran got out of the car and ran, "What's wrong? Why are you here?"
"Uh," Conan didn't know what to say for a while, he couldn't say he was lost, so he changed the subject, "Uncle Maori, let's hurry to the villa, it's not far ahead." With that, he got into the car.
"Ahh "Maori hair powered cars.
"Really," Lan got out of the car, "Conan, what the hell is going on?"
"Why are you here?" asked Conan.
"Huh, you didn't call?" Lan asked.
"It's not him, it's a little girl. Maori said.
"Ahh Conan reacted, and at the same time smiled in his heart, Gray Plains, this guy, I'm worried in vain.
"What about you, where were you then?" Lan asked, frowning.
"Well, this," Conan decided to tell the truth, "I don't know where I am. β
"What?" Lan was a little angry.
"He's telling the truth," Yamazaki laughs, "and he looks like he's coming out of a hole in the ground." β
"Cave?" Mori immediately asked, "Is there a treasure found?"
Conan was surprised and asked, "How do you know there's a treasure here?"
"It's the Dusk Police Department. "He also said that there may be an arsonist hiding in the tunnel, named Mutsumi Nishikawa, who is the former butler of the castle, and she may have done all the incidents in the castle." β
Maori asked, "Hurry up, have you found the treasure?"
"Probably found. Conan said.
"Take me there, then. "Where is the entrance to the tunnel?"
"I didn't see any treasure in the tunnels. Conan said helplessly, "And, uncle, I mean maybe." β
"What do you mean?" asked Maori, confused.
"The treasure is probably in the castle. Conan said, pulling out his notebook.
"What's that?" Mori took Conan's notebook with his backhand and looked at it, "What is this?"
Conan said: "It's the decoration in the courtyard of the villa, a life-size game of chess, I heard that the owner of the villa made it build it and keep it that way." β
"Oh, that's the secret message left by the owner of the villa. Maori said happily.
"Uncle, you are so powerful, you can see it at a glance. Conan laughed, and then said, "The black pieces on the chessboard look like an arrow, and the position of the white pieces seems to be a word, although I don't recognize it, but I guess it is the portrait of the owner of the villa on the front wall of the hall." β
Lan leaned up and looked at it, "It should mean the top of the wall." β
"Good, just turn the painting. Maori smiled happily, "Here is the murderer of the incident." β
"Oh, I know the murderer, too. Conan said, "I found the skeleton of a woman in the tunnel, her legs were a little abnormal, and there was a word next to it, 'That guy wants to pretend to be me, so as to take away the treasure of the castle', only the old lady in the castle is in a wheelchair, so ......"
"So the old lady is a fake now. Maori said happily, "Well done, boy." "Then let Yamazaki call the police.
"Luck, it's all luck. Conan touched the back of his head and laughed.
At this time, Maori saw the lights of the villa, so he sped over, and by the light, he saw Dr. Asa standing at the window on the second floor.
As soon as the car stopped, Conan got out of the car and ran to the headlights, shouting to the second floor, "Dr. Asasa, I'm here." ββ¦β¦
On the other side, in the villa, Dr. Asasa's room.
Dr. Asa noticed that the car's lights were approaching and immediately notified the four of them.
Motota asked, "Is it the Mori detective's car?"
Looking at the time, before 6:30 p.m., Gray Yuan said, "According to the time, it's almost." β
A moment later, watching Conan appear in front of the headlights and listening to Conan's shouting, the three Ayumi immediately cheered. β¦β¦
Meeting room in the villa.
In front of the long table, the old lady of the palace was in the main seat, the aunt of the house and the young master of the noble man of the palace were on the right, the Maori group was on the left, and Yamazaki was in the first seat.
Maori introduced himself, and then explained his intentions, "I, Maori Kogoro, are here today to expose the true face of a villain, and that person is you, Nishikawa Mutsumi." He pointed to the old lady in the wheelchair.
"Heh, heh, what are you talking about? The old lady said.
"Conan, tell me about the female body you saw in the tunnel and her last words. Maori said.
"Is there really a secret way?" asked Aunt Man in surprise.
"I'd better take you there. Conan laughed.
"Damn. The old lady suddenly stood up and turned around to run, but was held down by Yamazaki.
Holding the lamp, Conan took everyone to see the bones of the real old lady, and Nishikawa Mutsumi Yuran grabbed it, completely confirming that the current old lady was a fake.
"So there's really a treasure in this castle," asked Mamiyaman, "Detective Maori, do you know where it is?"
The nobleman of the palace asked, "Is it somewhere in this tunnel?"
"No way, I've been looking here for so long, there's no treasure here. Mumi Nishikawa said.
"Of course there can't be here," says Maori, "and the real treasure lies behind the great painting in the middle of the hall." β
"Remember to turn left. Yamazaki reminded in a whisper.
Returning to the hall, Maori rotated the large portrait in the middle of the hall, revealing a secret passage to the top. When they went up the secret passage, they found a small empty room, with only a metal handle on the opposite wall.
"My treasure. Nishikawa Mumi broke free of Lan, rushed up and pulled the metal handle open, and then looked at the situation behind the door, completely stunned.
It turned out to be a tower with nothing behind the door.
"What's going on? Maori asked in surprise.
"Uncle, there are words on the door, and there are numbers, and it should be the phone number before the upgrade. Yamazaki said.
"I leave this villa and the view to the first person to arrive here. Maori read.
Nishikawa Mumi muttered: "Impossible, the treasure can't be this, I did so many things for this villa and the scenery, and I turned myself into this, impossible!"
"What other treasure do you think is like this?" said Mamiyamitsu, "This villa includes a small forest and a small lake, and my wife's tower has a view of Mt. Fuji, and I think it can be here, at a price of the late eighties, it was worth at least 50 billion yen." β
"Five, five billion yen!" Nishikawa was taken aback.
"Seriously, you actually sit on a bigger treasure every day. The nobleman of the palace said.
"What did you say?" asked Nishikawa in surprise.
The noble lady of the palace said: "My father and I also had a lot of doubts about the events of the past, and the reason why we never doubted you was because you never interfered in things other than the villa, but in the end, you didn't understand how your grandfather's huge assets worked, and I didn't know what it was. β
Ma Miya asked rhetorically: "Haven't you ever thought about how you got all these funds over the years, such as your food, clothing, and use, the salary of your maids, the maintenance of your villa, etc., etc.?"
"How, how could this be. Nishikawa Mutsumi collapsed to the ground all of a sudden.
Lan asked Maori, "Uh, Daddy, am I still going to hold her......?"
"Of course, what if she's going to die? Maori said.
"I see. Lan said.
Mamiya smiled and said, "Mr. Maori, I will leave this villa to you in the future." β
"Huh?" Maori didn't understand.
"This phone number on the wall is the phone number of our lawyer. The nobleman of the palace smiled, "It seems that my grandfather also left a will." β
"That's fine. "I was still worried about what to do with this villa just now, so I don't have to come back in the future." β
"yes, it's a sad place. The nobleman sighed.
"Well, wait a minute," Maori reacted and asked in surprise, "Could it be that this big villa will be mine from now on?"
"yes, congratulations. Mamiya said with a smile.
Maori was overjoyed, "Ahh
"No," Ran said to Maori, "Dad, you can't ask for this villa, this is what Conan found out first." β
"Ahh β
"I mean, this is supposed to be Conan's. Lan said word by word.
"Damn, which side of you are?" exclaimed Maori.
"I'm telling the truth. "We can't take advantage of this. β
At this time, the police arrived, and Maori calmed down a little, "We'll talk about this later." "And then went down.
"Hmph, that's the same anyway. Lan said, "Conan, let's go down too." β
Conan said, "Sister Lan, I ......"
"Don't say anything stupid," Lan said, "don't worry, I'll convince Daddy." β
"Lan, I think you better bring your aunt here. Yamazaki said.
"I know, I'll call my mom when I go down. Lan said. β¦β¦
