Today's weather is quite comfortable, neither hot nor lukewarm, with a cool breeze blowing from the Pacific Ocean. Kamikawa puts on his coat and prepares to go to the Magic Society's party.

There are more than a dozen people in the Magic Club, and there are only eleven people who will go. Because there were more people, the head of the club specially chartered a car and waited on the side of the road.

Kamikawa walked into the car with an umbrella in an instant, and Kaito waved to him in the back seat.

"Kamikawa, here"

"Didn't Aoko come" didn't see Aoko, who was inseparable from Kaito, and Kamikawa instantly felt a little surprised.

"She made an appointment with a friend to go shopping."

Everyone was together, and the car drove all the way to the meeting place.

Watching the car get more and more off, and the surrounding trees becoming more and more lush, Kamikawa instantly felt a little painful.

"The meeting place has been changed"

Gathering in the deep mountains and old forests, why is there always a feeling that something is going to happen, can't the party or something be normal, is it inconvenient for him in the urban area

"You don't know that it was originally set to be a villa on the outskirts of Tokyo, but there was a murder in that villa the other day, so the location was temporarily changed. I guess I got a text message."

"I didn't receive it." Kamikawa spread his hands instantly, he really didn't receive it.

"Ah, I sent it to you" The young man in the front seat heard this and poked his head out from behind the seat like a gopher, he was wearing a pair of round glasses, and his head was also round, and his eyes were small, even if he tried to open them, they still looked like a slit.

He pulled out his phone with one hand and pointed to the phone screen, which showed a text message that had been delivered.

Kamikawa glanced at the code number instantly, and said speechlessly, "You entered the penultimate digit wrong"

"Ah, sorry, sorry," he pulled out his little notebook and looked at it, then at the screen, scratching his head in embarrassment.

"The meeting place was the villa of a friend of my brother's house, just in front"

Looking at the blue castle that appeared in front of him, Kamikawa rubbed his forehead instantly, and the feeling that something would happen became more and more intense

When I got out of the car and looked at the quaint and luxurious huge villa in front of me, everyone was amazed.

"It's so big, it's almost like a castle in the West."

"yes"

"Ha, it's great, this is what I won with great difficulty" The small-eyed president was proud, and his eyes were full of words to praise me, but his eyes were too small, and everyone couldn't think of him.

"This castle is really good," said Kaidou, with his hands in his pockets, full of interest.

"I hope it's all coming", and worrying too much won't help.

"What's wrong" Kaito felt that Kamikawa was not in high spirits.

"This kind of castle always makes me feel like there will be some homicide going on inside"

"It's a disappointing sixth sense

"You are the students who came here for the party today, the noble young master has been waiting for you for a long time," a man opened the door and welcomed everyone in.

"Brother nobleman" saw the castle owner waiting for him at the door, and the small-eyed president waved his hand.

"Komatsu, you're here"

"I'm bothering you"

"It's okay, I called you here too." The nobles of the palace looked kind and smiled at the group of people who followed behind Komatsu.

"There are only my father and the elderly lady in the family, so don't disturb them."

Kamikawa's gaze lingered on the young man for a moment, and then looked around the large courtyard. The most eye-catching thing in the courtyard is the huge chess set in the garden.

Chess felt as if there was a fragment of this in his memory, and Kamikawa instantly knocked on the handle of the umbrella, and it was too long ago to remember these things that were not profound.

On the east side of the villa there was a tall tower, quite high, full of black marks, as if it had been scorched by a fire.

"What's wrong with the tower," Kamikawa asked, pointing to the tower.

"There was a fire there four years ago, and my mother and the servants in the castle were burned to death." The nobles of the palace looked at the tower with a sad gaze, and a fire buried not only his mother, but dozens of mothers.

"Big fire", such a big fire, no one notices, Kaito feels very wrong.

"Yes, my mother came back to the castle to celebrate my grandmother's birthday, and she came here in the middle of the night, but before dawn the tongue of fire burst onto it. A dozen people were burned to death inside. ”

"But no matter what, it's impossible for such a big fire to go unnoticed."

"I'm weird too." The nobles in the palace looked melancholy, and the fire was like a thorn in his heart, making him haunted. "The fire started too suddenly and too quickly, like someone deliberately did it. But after so many years, there are no clues. ”

He changed his mood and smiled again, "I heard that you are all members of the Magic Society, you should be very good at solving puzzles, in fact, I also have a little selfishness, I want to ask everyone to solve the mystery in the castle together." ”

"Enigma" Kuaidou came to the fun.

"When my grandfather died, he said that whoever solves the mystery of the castle, he will give him the most precious treasure."

As soon as they heard the word treasure, the teenagers and girls who had been a little cowered by the death of so many people here immediately became excited again.

Treasures are always something that makes them particularly attractive.

Kamikawa instantly looked at the chess, and then at the tower, and the fire was a bloody case caused by a treasure coveter.

"If you can, I also hope that everyone can find clues about the fire back then, and seek justice for the dozen lives that died."

"No problem, it's on us" President Komatsu, the little eye with a sense of justice, patted his chest and slapped the ticket.

"Let me show you around first."

Everyone followed the nobles of the palace to visit this villa worthy of a castle. In the halls of the castle are three huge portraits of the deceased Grand Lord, the mother of the nobles of the palace, and his biological father.

The person he now calls his father is his stepfather, who joined their family six years ago when his biological father died.

The owner of the castle, the Grand Lady, came in a wheelchair, her hair was gray and her face was full of wrinkles. She looked at the group of people who were following the nobles in the palace, rolling the wheels of her wheelchair and passing by, while saying to herself, "Why hasn't my daughter come back yet?"

Everyone looked at her stunned, all at a loss.

It wasn't until the eldest lady walked away that the nobles of the palace explained to everyone, "I'm sorry, grandma has been like this since that fire." ”

Looking at the old man's distant back, Shangchuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was no wave in his eyes.

"I can see it," Kaito stood next to him, his voice small but enough for Kamikawa to hear clearly.

"Hmm." ，，，
