In the middle of the meal, Gao Cheng glanced at Gray Yuan, made an excuse to go to the toilet and left the restaurant, and took advantage of the absence of the palace to return to the room where Conan disappeared again.

There is a very thick wall in the middle of the two connected rooms, leaving a lot of space, and it seems that Conan has indeed discovered some secret passage, otherwise it would not suddenly disappear like evaporation.

Gao Cheng knocked on the wall, groped for the side of the clock, and turned the hands according to the reminder of the gray yuan, at first it was nothing, but when it turned to twelve o'clock, the wall suddenly turned away automatically, directly bringing Gao Cheng into a dark and narrow space.

There are walls on both sides, and there is indeed a mezzanine between the two rooms......

Groping around to turn on Dr. Asasa's watch-type flashlight, a staircase appeared in front of Gao Cheng, deep, not knowing where it leads.

Before he got to the end, Gao Cheng noticed the traces of friction on the ground by the flashlight, and there was a small piece of blood, which had not completely turned black, and it seemed that it had only been left for a short time.

Gao Cheng's gaze tightened, his gaze swept around, and landed on the steps below.

The drag marks are quite noticeable, and there are old nicks on the steps that I don't know when.

"That guy is pretending to be me...... To seize the castle's treasure......"

"There's a problem here." Gao Cheng looked at the unfinished words on the steps in a deep voice.

There are people in the castle who are fakes in order to seize the treasure, and Conan must have happened to find out that this place was attacked......

Gao Cheng continued to look into the depths of the stairs.

Although the main members of the Manomiya family are now in the restaurant, there are also a large number of servants in the castle, and they don't know who the impersonation is, so maybe they have to investigate the fire four years ago to find out......

"Click." After walking two flights of stairs and looking around, there was a faint gap in the wall leaking light.

Trying to push, the wall suddenly turned and took Gao Cheng out.

Outside it seems to be a corridor on the first floor, and you can still hear the voices of Ayumi and others.

Gao Cheng turned around and pushed the wall again, but found that it could not be opened.

"What's wrong, Detective Joto?" Mamiya appeared around the corner with a yin body, squinting his eyes and smiling, "Is something wrong?" ”

"Ah, it's nothing," Gao Cheng retracted his arm and wondered, "How did Mr. Aman come here?" ”

"Because you haven't been back, by the way, did you see the missing child?"

"Not ...... yet"

"It's best to find him before dark, if you run into the forest and get lost, you'll be in trouble," Mamiya said, "Let's help too, it shouldn't be a big problem if everyone looks for it separately." ”

It was getting dark, and even a light rain was falling, and the people in the castle divided into groups to look for Conan.

"It doesn't seem to be in the garden."

"Everyone in the castle has searched for it, but they still haven't seen anyone."

"You're not going to run over there, are you?"

The gardener looked worriedly at the charred stone tower on the other side: "It was there that a servant who had just arrived two years ago disappeared in it, and when the police found him in the woods, he had starved to death......"

"Ah," Ayumi and the others were frightened and worried, "if you don't find Conan soon, he'll starve to death because he has nothing to eat!" ”

"I don't think I went to that tower," said Miyaman, "because of what happened two years ago, that tower was locked, and I went to see it just now, and the lock on the door is fine." ”

"Isn't that all that's left of the woods?" The gardener said anxiously, "Oh no, we need to find him quickly......

"No," Mamiya shook his head in a deep voice, "The rain is getting heavier, and it's too dangerous to enter the forest at night, so in my opinion, it's better to ask the police to come and search tomorrow......"

"How can this be?" Ayumi's eyes were filled with tears, and she clung to Gao Cheng, "Conan must be scared now, don't find him quickly......"

"Don't worry, he'll be fine, I'll use my reputation to promise."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

Gao Cheng gently touched Ayumi's hair and wiped the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes.

If Conan had died so easily, he would have died a long time ago, and there should be no danger for the time being, but it is inevitable to suffer a little.

Since the murderer is for the treasure, he will not easily kill people and make things bigger, as evidenced by the servant two years ago, who starved to death and threw him into the woods, and the police will not conduct a full investigation of the castle.

"How?" Gray Yuan followed Gao Cheng, "Did you find anything?" ”

"There are indeed secret passages in the castle," Gao Cheng looked at Ayumi who came into the house with peace of mind, "I think he should be locked up somewhere in the castle now, and he will not be thrown into the woods until he starves to death, just like the servant two years ago." ”

"You don't look worried."

"I can't die anyway."

……

In the middle of the night, the rain really fell heavier and heavier, and the sound of cheering was endless.

For safety, Gao Cheng and Dr. Asa and the others all slept in a large room, with Ashbara and Ayumi sharing a bed, Motota and Mitsuhiko sharing a bed, and Gao Cheng himself sleeping with the doctor.

Listening to the snoring sound of the doctor next to his ear, Gao Cheng was powerless to complain, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he got up lightly.

Yuantai, the little fat man, was also snoring, one hand pressed on Mitsuhiko's body, and the large font occupied the entire bed, Gao Cheng looked uncomfortable for Mitsuhiko, but the two Ayumi Gray Hara next to him slept very quietly, like two little princesses.

"Alright, while these bear children are asleep, hurry up and find Conan ......"

The door squeaked open, and there was a sudden movement in the aisle outside.

"Grandma," the nobleman of the palace followed the old lady in a wheelchair and said worriedly, "why are you still here at such a late hour?" ”

"My daughter hasn't come," the old lady said in a hoarse voice, "I'm going to pick him up......"

"Just leave your mother's affairs to us, you better go back to your room and have a good rest." The nobleman of the palace sighed lightly and disappeared into the aisle with his wheelchair.

These people haven't slept so late......

Gao Cheng looked at the aisle through the crack in the door, and only walked out of the room after confirming that there was no one, but Gray Yuan followed behind him.

"Are you going to start investigating?"

"Shhh

Gao Cheng pulled the gray plain, saw that Ayumi in the room was sleeping soundly, and whispered: "You stay here to take care of everyone, and I will solve the matter." ”

Leaving the gray plain, Gao Cheng walked alone and cautiously in the aisle, not going to the secret passage entrance on the second floor, but looking for clues in the castle.

The first is the identity of the impostor.

The words carved on the stairs in the secret passage alone could not be seen at all.

If you guess correctly, the fire four years ago should be the key, and the other is the identity of the Mamiya Man and the nobles of the Mamiya.

No one had seen the two beforehand, and I heard the gardener say that the identity of the man who confirmed the house was a photo of his remarriage with Mrs. Mamiya abroad, and the nobleman of the palace was purely because he was too similar to the late old man.

There are many questions in between, the biggest one being why the Madame Mamiya arrived at the castle in the middle of the night, and was burned to death that night along with a bunch of servants.

There is no possibility of extinguishing the mouth.

"Crunch—"

Pushing open a door with a flashlight, Gao Cheng walked into a large studio, surrounded by painting tools and plaster casts that served as models.

This is the studio of the nobles of the palace, and most of the time in the past few years since returning to the castle has been painting here, and if there is a secret passage in this room, the nobles of the palace will undoubtedly be more suspicious.

"Huh?"

A thick stack of newspapers almost tripped Gao Cheng, and by the light of the flashlight, Gao Cheng saw the newspapers clearly, and they were all reports about the fire four years ago.

"What is he collecting all this for?"

Gao Cheng calmed down and read the report for a while, his ears moved, and he vaguely heard a clicking sound outside, and hurriedly turned off the flashlight and leaned to the door to observe the aisle outside.

An open door at the end of the hallway was open in the wind and rain, and a bloodstained round hat fell from the floor.

"It's Conan's hat......"
