On this day, Dr. Asasa took the group of young detectives to camp in the suburbs, which was a natural practice course arranged by Mr. Kobayashi for two days and one night.

Before leaving, Xingchen checked through the Internet and found that there is a campsite very suitable for primary school students in the suburbs of Dongdu, which is rich in natural resources, with mountains, water, and forests, and there is an open and flat campsite next to the stream. Most of the travelers give five-star reviews.

Dr. Asa followed the map to the camping site by the river, and jumped out of the car without waiting for the car to stop, followed by Mitsuhiko and Ayumi, who ran to the stream to fish in the river.

"Really, camping in such a cold weather. Conan grumbled impatiently hiding his hands in his coat pockets.

"It's because I couldn't come camping with Sister Xiaolan, so I can't keep my spirits up!" Xingchen saw through Conan's careful thoughts at a glance, and then turned his head to Gray Yuan beside him and said earnestly: "No matter what you do, as long as you can be by Gray Yuan's side, I'm very happy." ”

Gray Yuan ignored Xingchen's words, but looked at Yuan Tai and the others, and said to himself: "I really envy this group of energetic children. ”

For the coldness of the gray plain, the stars don't care, the goddesses are all cold existences.

Dr. Asa on the side complained in his heart, and after the current children were really precocious, he opened the trunk of his yellow Beetle and began to take out camping equipment.

In the process of tidying up, Dr. Asa suddenly slapped his head and exclaimed, "Ahh

I brought food, cutlery, medicine, and the car was filled with gas before departure, but I forgot to bring the most important camping tent.

According to Xingchen's idea, with the encyclopedia of Conan, even if they brought everything, everyone could afford to leave this forest rich in natural resources on foot.

It seems like a good thing to survive in the wilderness with Xiao Ai.

But Dr. Asa had to consider that there were so many children around him, and if anyone had a headache and brain fever, it would be difficult to explain it to their parents, so he drove the group along the forest path, hoping to find a family to spend the night.

"It looks like we'll have to spend the night in the car tonight, how can there be a house here?" said Conan, as everyone got back into the car, citing the untouched nature along the road.

"There are not only private houses here, but also castle villas!" Xingchen denied Conan's reasoning, and said with great certainty: "Didn't you do your homework before you came? Not far from our campsite, there is a castle villa, this place is quite famous! There was a fire there four years ago, and more than a dozen people died at that time!"

"Wow! it's terrifying!" Ayumi fears that living in a castle where so many people have died, and that there may be a terrible supernatural event.

Gray Principle felt a strong sense of mystery, and said with interest: "It's better to sleep in the car than to live in a ghost house!"

Now that the goddess has spoken, in order to allow everyone to choose to stay in the villa, Xingchen continued: "It's not impossible to squeeze in the car for one night, but this forest is a caterpillar, remove its head and internal organs, the rest can be eaten, the protein content is 2.5 times that of beef, I heard that it is better than chicken, if we can, we can also roast it, it will taste better." Crunch!"

Compared with the ghost, Ayumi is even more resistant to caterpillars, so she has no choice but to go to the castle with everyone to spend the night.

Following Xingchen's instructions, Dr. Asa quickly drove the car to the castle villa.

From the outside, the castle is built entirely of masonry and is full of old European medieval style, and is by no means an imitation of modern people.

In order to make up for his previous mistake in reasoning, Conan relied on the experience accumulated from years of travel abroad to speculate about the castle: "This must have been bought by some rich man and reassembled here!"

Conan wasn't wrong this time, and that's exactly what happened.

There is a small garden in front of the main building of the castle-style villa, and judging by the height of the lawn, it should be regularly mowed, which proves that it is still inhabited and not deserted.

The people looked through the gap in the railing of the iron gate, and soon found a man in the shape of a gardener, and shouted at him: "I'm sorry, we passed by here, and we saw that this castle is very magnificent, and I wonder if we can visit it a little." ”

Dr. Asa was worried that the owner of the villa would not agree to the overnight stay as soon as he came up, so he made such an excuse.

Unexpectedly, the gardener's attitude was not as friendly as he imagined, and he said impatiently: "Outsiders are not welcome here, you can go back!"

The conversation between Dr. Asa and the gardener seemed to alarm the people in the villa, and at this time, a middle-aged man walked towards them, and after seeing a lot of people gathered at the door, the middle-aged man asked the gardener, "What are they doing?"

The gardener pointed to Dr. Asa and replied to the middle-aged man, "This old man with a dull face said he wanted to come in and visit. ”

Hearing that he was called a "stupid old man", Dr. Asasa protested loudly: "Please, I'm Dr. Asasa and I'm a little famous in the invention circle!"

"Minke?" Hearing Dr. Agasa's self-introduction, the middle-aged man became interested: "Then your mind should be better than our ordinary people!"

After a little thought, the middle-aged man agreed with Dr. Asa and the others to stay in the villa, and said to the gardener, "You can take them into the villa! ”

After saying that, the middle-aged man turned around and walked towards the castle villa to go about other things.

The gardener's name is Katsuo Tahata, and while he takes Dr. Asasa and others into the villa, he introduces them to the basic situation of the villa.

This castle villa was bought from abroad by the historian Mamiya Lord, and then disassembled in pieces and shipped here.

After the death of Mamiya 15 years ago, she left behind her wife, Madame Masuyo, and a daughter, Minako (the name doesn't appear in the anime, so I made it up).

Minako has been married twice in total, and because the Manomiya family is very wealthy, and she is the only daughter, the two sons-in-law are rich.

The first son-in-law, Sadaaki Mamiya, died of illness six years ago, and he and Minako had a son, Takato Mamiya, who is now 26 years old, and the middle-aged man I saw just now is Minako's second husband, Mamiyamiya, who is 49 years old.

As for Minako, she died in a fire four years ago, and speaking of which, the gardener pointed to a charred tower next to the castle villa that had obviously been burned by fire: "Madame lives overseas all the year round, and she came back here four years ago to celebrate her 80th birthday, but I didn't expect a fire to break out on the night she returned." Not only Madame, but also friends who accompanied Madame back and long-time veteran servants, a total of more than a dozen people died in the fire. ”

"The only ones who were lucky enough to survive the fire were the servants who had been in the villa for a short time, the old lady who had suffered from the cold, and the old man and the noble young master who came a day earlier than the lady. ”
