"Do you understand the meaning of the riddle?" Xia Muxing was going to reach out and dial the minute hand, intending to adjust the clock time.

"I think that if the white chess piece refers to something, the black chess piece represents a rotation to the right, and it should be a rotation of a certain object." Conan lowered his head, his glasses reflective, and showed a sinister smile, "I think it should be the one who left the last word, that is, the owner of the castle." ”

"You can laugh when you laugh, can you raise your head and smile, like a big villain." Xia Muxing turned the minute hand and spit out the groove, and suddenly heard footsteps in the corridor, immediately turned the minute hand back to its original position, hugged Conan, and walked to the window to put it down.

Xia Muxing asked suspiciously, "Conan, do you see what the answer to the puzzle is?" ”

Conan heard the voice in the hallway, and immediately understood, "I don't know, I'm still thinking about it." ”

"You two, are you still thinking about the puzzle?" Jian Miyaman stood at the door and said with a slight smile, "Lunch is almost ready, Mr. Xia will take the children down to eat, and the doctor has already sat downstairs." ”

"I'm really embarrassed to bother Mr. Mamiya to call us personally, so I'll call the children downstairs for dinner." Xia Muxing took Conan's hand and walked to the door, "Let's go Conan, don't look at it, I have a lot of time to see it in the afternoon." ”

In order to prevent Conan's curiosity from exploding and going to die by himself, Xia Muxing thought for a while and added, "I'll go and see it with you." ”

Conan glanced at Xia Muxing, and muttered in his heart, I don't want it.

I'll come and investigate alone later, and I can't give you a head start on everything.

I'm going to the secret passages to see where they lead, this castle is full of secrets, constantly tickling Conan's detective desires.

"It's nothing, I prefer to do everything myself." Jian Gong looked at Xia Muxing with a smile, and then let go of his body.

"Then you're so hardworking, I'm more lazy." Xia Muxing chatted casually and knocked on the door next door, wondering, why did these children close the door?

"Who?" Ayumi's voice came from inside.

"I, Brother Muxing, Mr. Mamiya came up to greet us for lunch."

"Brother Muxing." Ayumi opened the door, and everyone followed behind her, "We ....."

As soon as Ayumi was about to speak, she saw Mr. Mamiya behind Xia Muxing.

Mitsuhiko spoke, "Mr. Mamiya! We've guessed the answer! But we don't know what that means yet. ”

Mr. Mamiya squinted his eyes and smiled, "Yes, then you are very powerful, so many people have not solved the mystery for several years, and you know." ”

It was in a childish tone, and he didn't believe that these children could guess it.

It's unbelievable that a group of elementary school students came up with a mystery that adults hadn't thought of for years.

Ayumi obviously heard that she was perfunctory to them, and snorted dissatisfied.

"We're a boy detective! Don't underestimate us! Yuan Taidao.

"That's it! We'll be sure to help you find the treasure! "This is Mitsuhiko.

Ash Yuan Ai and Nana looked calmer.

"Conan, what do you say?" Yuan Tai saw Conan standing next to Xia Muxing without saying a word, "You are also a member of our junior detective group, as well as Ashbara-san and Nana-sang....... Forget it about girls. ”

"What? Do you have an opinion about female classmates? Ayumi half-moon eyes, looking at Yuan Tai with unkind eyes.

Xia Muxing saw that the children were going to stand here and chat for a long time, so he immediately clapped his hands and said in a gentle tone, "Okay, children, don't make any noise!" Brother Mu Xing didn't eat in the morning, and he was about to starve to death. ”

Xia Muxing clutched his stomach and looked impatient, "Let's go down and eat quickly." ”

"Good!" Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Motota, Conan, Xiao Ai, and Nana said in unison.

Conan looked sideways, but he didn't expect Brother Muxing to coax the child.

There is a maid at home, and she came so late and didn't have breakfast, who would believe it, I'm afraid I would be able to deceive the sympathy of these children.

Follow the palace to the hall on the first floor,

In the middle of the hall there is a long table covered with a white tablecloth, and a variety of dishes are served on large plates, but not in large quantities, and the main dish is Western-style croissants.

Everyone took their seats one after another.

Dr. Asa had already sat down at the table, and said curiously, "Muxing, when did you come, I didn't see you." ”

Xia Muxing looked at the layout of the hall on the first floor, and replied casually, "It didn't take long for me to come here, so I went upstairs with the children to decrypt it." ”

On the wall of the hall hangs a huge portrait, several meters high, of a man with short hair, a large long face, thick eyebrows, squinting eyes, smiling, and wearing a black suit.

Next to the huge portraiture are two smaller portraits, one of a woman and one of a man.

Xia Muxing speculated that it should be the dead wife, Mr. He Zhenzhao.

"Wow! That big brother is like that portrait on the wall. Yuan Tai pointed to a man sitting across from him.

Everyone looked over and compared it with the photos on the wall, it was indeed very similar!

The eyebrows are almost identical.

"That's a portrait of my grandfather."

The man spoke calmly, carefully slicing the steak on his plate with a knife.

"He is a noble man of the palace, the only son of my wife and Mr. Sadaaki, and he came back after graduating from university." Mitsuru Mamiya explained.

This is, the old lady sitting in the main seat, with an old face and a face full of folds and age spots, spoke, and her voice was hoarse and ugly, "Why hasn't my daughter come back yet!" Didn't you say you were going to celebrate my birthday! ”

"......" Everyone felt a chill welling up, daughter? Is it referring to the wife who was burned to death four years ago?

"Really! When she came, call her to my room immediately! The old lady's voice was old, with anger, she threw her knife and fork, held on to the wheelchair, pushed the wheels hard, and left quickly.

Looking at everyone's somewhat pale faces, the nobleman of the palace opened his mouth to explain, "That's my grandmother - Manomiya Massudai, after her mother died, she was like this, she always thought that her mother was not dead, and she was still on the way back, waiting to celebrate her birthday." ”

Xia Muxing was powerless to complain in his heart, this old lady's hands are strong enough, isn't she afraid to push her wheelchair so fast.

"She hasn't been out for more than ten years since she broke her foot, and I stayed at the castle because I couldn't worry about her." Mitsumi Mamiya struggles to maintain his image as a good son-in-law.

"I can't move my foot when it's broken, that old woman must be very unaccustomed to it." Ayumi muttered.

"There's nothing you're not used to." The old man's voice suddenly sounded in Ayumi's ears.

Ayumi's frightened scalp was numb, her face was white, and her back was cold.

Mamiya Masudai didn't know when he had returned, and he stopped behind Ayumi, and the old face full of pleats was close to Ayumi, "It's the same as the pattern of the banknote and the change in the size of the passport, I was not used to it at first, but I got used to it after a long time, no matter whether I was happy or sad, these will disappear with time." ”

Ayumi trembled, looking at this face with a frightened expression, "Grandma Ma, Mamiya, aren't you going back and waiting for your daughter to come back......"

"Hmph." Masumiya Masudai looked at Mamiya Man and snorted coldly, "It's so good, it's not that I'm eyeing the treasure of this castle." ”

"You are all coveting the treasures of this castle! are all coveting ......." Masumiya Massuyo seemed to be dissatisfied with everyone, turned the wheel with both hands, and left quickly.

Everyone watched the old lady walk away completely this time before they breathed a sigh of relief.

A crazy old lady was at the dining table, and Xia Muxing said that the meal was so uncomfortable.

Especially this old lady does look a little scary, and when you go to a haunted house, you have to be evaluated by the owner of the haunted house for you to be a little more restrained, and I'm afraid that customers will be scared to death by you.

Conan suddenly got up and asked Mitsumi Mitsumi obediently, "Uncle Mamiya!" Where is the bathroom, I'll go to the bathroom. ”

"The bathroom is on the second floor, kids, I'll take you there." Miyaman put down his knife and fork and prepared to get up.

"No, you don't! I'll go on my own, but my stomach hurts a little bit, and it may take a little longer. Conan saluted politely, persuaded Miyaman, and turned back and ran towards the stairs.

"Conan, how did he go to the toilet in the middle of eating, and what if he was all eaten when he came back." Yuan Tai lifted a piece of croissant, snorted, and stuffed it into his mouth in two bites, chewing wildly.

"I think you eat slowly, it's perfectly too late for Conan to come back and eat again." Xia Muxing supported his forehead.

"Yes, Yuantai, you eat slowly." Ayumi felt sorry for Conan, afraid that he would come back without food and be hungry.

"I've got a bag here, if you don't like it, you can pack two loaves of bread for Conan." Xia Muxing casually took out a transparent plastic bag.

Ash Yuan took a sip of coffee and stared at the bag, wasn't that the evidence bag used by the police......

It also has the words "Evidence Seal" written on it.

The name of the case ______, the number ______, the date or something.

Ash Yuan sighed, using the evidence bag to fill the bread? I don't know if that guy from Edogawa can eat it.

Ayumi looked at the bag, and she also wanted to say something, not knowing whether to take it or not.

"Rest assured, the bag is clean, new, and sterilized." Xia Muxing thought that Ayumi was worried that it was not clean.

"Thank you, Brother Muxing......" Ayumi sighed and took the bag, Conan should be able to accept it, right? The bread in this bag?

Xia Muxing glanced at the bag, hoping that Conan would accept the bread in the bag.

I inserted a sausage into my plate casually, and slowly cut it with a knife, and a milky yellow oil soup burst out, and the sweet aroma of meat wafted up.

Hmm~, this sausage is very delicious, the material has butter and pork? It was supposed to be imported from Germany.

Xia Muxing inserted two pieces and put them on the plates of Nana and Gray Yuanai, "Taste it, this sausage is very good, but you can't eat more, it will be a little tired." ”

"Thank you." Gray Yuan saw that there was an extra piece of sausage on his plate, and politely thanked him.

"You're welcome!" Xia Muxing pointed at Nana, "But I'm more used to Nana's way." ”

Xiao Ai raised her eyes and stared at Nana.

I saw Nana eat the sausage and savor it.

Then leaned forward, took a public knife and fork from the oversized black pepper steak, cut a small piece of black pepper steak, put it on the dinner plate, and then forked the remaining super-large black pepper steak directly into the clean plate in front of Xia Muxing, "Brother, I think this is also very delicious." ”

Nana snorted softly, ╭(╯^╰)╮, don't think I didn't see it, you're teasing a little sorrow.

“？？？” Xia Muxing was stunned, I thought you were going to clip that small one for me, it's okay to have such a big piece? Emma, it's a shame.

Xiao Ai sneered, "Is that so?" Then I get it. ”

Xia Muxing looked around and found that Jian Gongman was a little distracted when he stared at the only small piece of steak left on the plate, where did the big piece of steak go just now?

"Ahem." Xia Muxing quickly picked up the common knife and fork, cut the steak on the plate evenly, and brought it to the dining table.

Mamiya came back to his senses and found the steak that had been cut on a plate in the center of the table.

Turning his head to look at the smiling Xia Muxing, he couldn't help but sigh, "Mr. Xia is really understanding, and he also helped the children cut the steak." ”

"Everywhere, it's all Nana's reminder, she told me that it's more difficult for everyone to cut meat with a knife and fork, and I just helped everyone cut it out." Xia Muxing laughed, hiding his embarrassment, but fortunately he was not seen.

"Hmm~ Then we will thank Brother Muxing." Xiao Ai smiled meaningfully, and took the initiative to insert a steak back, "I also think this is quite delicious." ”

"Thank you, Brother Muxing!" Ayumi, who cut meat with a knife and was red by the knife, cheered.

"I feel okay! It's so cut! Yuan Tai pouted.

Mitsuhiko looked speechlessly at Yuantai's much stronger figure than other elementary school students.

Yuan Tai's physique can be regarded as strong in the fifth grade of elementary school!

Alas, you have great strength and say everything right.

"..... Gong" Dr. Asa coughed lightly, "Ahem, why hasn't Conan come back yet, didn't you bring any paper, I'll go upstairs and have a look." ”

Xia Muxing has a bad feeling, this guy can't be acting alone, right!?

"I'll take a look." Xia Muxing ate the last piece of food on the plate and put down the knife and fork.

I went up to the second floor and came to the bathroom, there were four compartments in total, all empty.

Xia Muxing sighed, he meowed, this kid is really not worry-free, can't he have a good meal and then handle the case? Is the case heavy to eat?

Xia Muxing immediately rushed to the third floor, the room that he had taken alone with Conan before.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw a chair that had fallen in front of the old-fashioned clock, and five or six books had fallen to one side on the floor.

Apparently, Conan stacked five or six thicker books on top of each other with the help of a chair, high enough that he could move the minute hand, and then opened the tunnel, and planted himself in, only to be knocked down by the turning wall.

It's not important to find Conan, there should be no danger to his life, and the murderer doesn't dare to kill him, otherwise attracting the attention of the police will ruin its plan.

Xia Muxing was thinking about how to end the case quickly.

"Young man, what are you doing here?"

The old man's voice sounded at the door, it was the addition of the palace! It was also the little black who attacked Conan.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that a child is missing, and I went upstairs to look for it, and I saw a chair overturned here." Xia Muxing half-squatted on the ground, packed up the books on the ground, and completely handed over his back to the other party.

He is seducing the other party to make a move, and if the old lady does it, she will take advantage of the situation to deduct a charge of attacking the police and take it directly.

It's a pity that the old lady sat very steadily in the wheelchair and didn't move at all.

"Grandma Mamiya, I remember that there was a mechanism in the castle in the past, that is, a mechanism that activated the secret passage as soon as you adjusted the minute hand of the clock, did you know?" Xia Muxing squatted on the ground, cleaned up very slowly, and even flipped through the scattered books.

"Those are just plots in the movie, how can there be such a strange mechanism in reality?" Masumiya Masuyo sat in a wheelchair, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his hands were held on the armrests of the wheelchair and rubbed gently, "Really, today's young people are not as clear as an old woman like me." ”
