"A dozen people are dead?" Asa Yu's brow furrowed suddenly.

"What's wrong?" The gray plain on the side noticed the strangeness of the light feather, and turned his head to look at the light feather.

"It's not logical." Asa Yu shook his head, "A dozen adults, even if they are at a party, no matter how much wine they drink, they will not be burned alive in the tower." It is impossible for them to have no ability to resist, and it is impossible for others not to notice the strangeness inside the tower, so," Asa Feather raised his head and looked at the tall tower that had been burned black in the distance, "there must be something wrong with this tower." ”

Gray Yuan nodded noncommittally.

"Now only I, the gardener, and the old lady who was resting in the annex because of a cold, and Mr. Man, who arrived one step earlier than the lady, are left." Tengo Tabata was still talking to the doctor about the owner of the house.

"Well, there's that one," Tabata pointed to him, "and he's the only son born to Mr. and Mrs. Shocho, Mr. Tachito." He called the nobleman of the palace, and he also came back two or three days before the fire. Speaking of this, Tengo Tabata lowered his voice, "I heard that I have lived abroad since I was a child, and the first time I came back here to meet Mr. Man, it was also at that time. ”

Conan listened intently to the conversation between the two.

"After Mrs. remarried in a foreign country, she and Mr. Man have been living abroad. I don't know why, after that fire, Mr. Man has been staying. It's like, it's something to stay here for. ”

"But it must be hard for the two of them to come in here? Because no one knows them at all. Dr. Asa asked.

"No, the photos of the remarriage ceremony, Mrs. sent back, so everyone has seen Mr. Man's appearance." Tengo Tabata smiled, pushed the door open, pointed to a photo, and said, "As for Mr. Nobleman, you see, he looks exactly like the dead old man." ”

"Oh, if you look at it like this, everyone will think that they are father and son." Looking at the two almost identical figures, Dr. Asa nodded, "So, what about the portraits on both sides?" ”

"It's Mr. and Mrs. Chyongqiu." Tengo Tabata looked at the photo and said, "Mr. Zhengqiu, who is recruited, has great respect for the great master who is a historian. It is also for this reason that Madame often quarrels with Mr. Jungqiu. ”

"The master is just an intellectual with a crooked mouth, right?" A hoarse voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Everyone looked back, and an old man in a wheelchair was slowly coming in through the door.

"Old ...... Old lady! Tabata Tengo was taken aback.

It was an old lady with goosebumps, her chaotic eyes almost fit together, and the age spots on her face inexplicably made her a little more hideous, so frightened that Ayumi couldn't help but take a step back.

"The man had heard these words a long time ago," continued the old lady in a hoarse voice, "but he was not angry, but was glad. ”

"I'm sorry for reminding you of these sad things." Tabata Tengo took off his hat and said embarrassedly while touching his head.

"You don't have to worry, even if this castle doesn't have him, I'm used to it." The old lady said slowly, "Just like the size of banknotes and passports has changed, you may have to get used to it at first, but after a long time, you will take it for granted." Time is really scary, because joy and sadness can be erased in an instant. At this, the old lady's voice slowly deepened.

"Old lady......" Tabata Tengnan looked embarrassed, and didn't know what to say.

"By the way, who are these people?" The old lady looked at Dr. Asa and the others and said.

"Huh? It seems to be a scientist friend of the old man. Takeo Tabata glanced at Dr. Asa and the others.

"Scientists?" The old lady's eyes flashed, "It's exciting, I really hope you can solve the mystery that that man left behind in this castle." ”

"Mystery?" Everyone asked suspiciously.

"I heard that it was the last words of the great lord before he died," Tabata explained, "'Whoever solves the mystery of this castle will be able to get my favorite treasure.'" ’”

Favourite baby?

Conan and Asa Yu glanced at each other, but did not speak.

"By the way, isn't my daughter here yet?" The old lady looked around and suddenly said, "Didn't she say that she would come back today to celebrate my birthday?" ”

"Huh?" Asa Feather raised her head, her daughter? Isn't it already ......

"No, old lady......" Tabata Tengo was about to say something, but was interrupted by the old lady.

"It's really exciting to call her to my room as soon as I come." As she spoke, the old lady walked away in a wheelchair, leaving a group of people in the room staring at each other.

"I think ......," Dr. Asa pondered for a long time before speaking slowly, "she must be overly sad, right?" ”

"No way." Tengo Tabata shook his head helplessly, "Since Madame left, the old lady has always been like this. ”

"Now, uncle!" Asa Yu suddenly spoke, and said in his usual deceitful soft voice, "Is the old woman's legs unable to walk?" ”

"Hmm." Tengo Tabata nodded, "The old lady's leg fell once, and she has been in a wheelchair since then." ”

"It's so pathetic!" Asa Yu answered softly and stopped talking. Conan on the side glanced at him, a smile on his lips.

This guy ......

"Hey, uncle," Conan suddenly asked Tabata Tengo, "is there a room where you can see those chess pieces in the courtyard?" ”

“…… Chess? ”

……

"That's great." After arriving in the room, Ayumi looked at the chess below and exclaimed, "The chess pieces are neatly arranged!" ”

"Where? I can't see it! Yuan Tai said as he squeezed forward.

"Don't push me, Yuantai!" Ayumi shouted.

Asa Yu helplessly watched the three people crowding in front of the window to watch the chess pieces.

"By the way, why don't you go and see it?" Conan turned his head and looked at the still calm Asa Yu, "I remember that you seem to be very proficient in chess, right?" ”

"It's not my business." Asaka shook her head and looked at Conan, a smile on the corner of her mouth, "This is what you're best at!" ”

"Whether the arrangement of the pieces might be a clue or something else, it's not clear yet." Conan shook his head, "I can't guess anything right now. ”

"Great."

Gray Yuan suddenly spoke, and his cold voice made people suddenly shock, "Isn't this your favorite code?" At the same time, he glanced at Conan.

"......" Conan glanced at the lazy two speechlessly, secretly compared his middle finger, and then lowered his head to study the pattern drawn on the paper.

"By the way, what time is it?" Dr. Asa suddenly asked.

"It's ...... now" Asaba habitually looked up at the watch on the wall, and was suddenly stunned.
