Chapter 066: Blue Castle Case 3
"Big, fire?"
Dr. Asa looked at the castle, and there was no sign of it being burned by the fire, at least not at least at a cursory glance.
"Look over there."
The gardener pointed to a high-speed train next to the castle, and it dawned on the doctor that the tower was completely charred, and the whole tower was a misty black.
"That tower used to be the wife's bedroom, and that year the wife came back from outside to celebrate the birthday of the eldest lady, but I didn't expect this to happen, and then not only the wife, but also the friends, attendants, housekeepers and servants she brought with her were burned to death inside......"
“……”
Hearing this, Katayama panicked...... It's not a good place to stay for long...... No matter how you think about it, it's all family infighting, get rid of this so-called wife and her cronies...... Could it be that the old man is not Aman, but Cao Apu! You want to usurp the Han and stand on your own, right?
But of course he didn't say it, he just listened silently, this is the background story told by the NPC of Kexue World, and it will be used to solve the case later.
"The only one who escaped was a servant like me, who had only been here for a long time, and then Master Aman and the eldest lady ......."
Then he pointed to a squinting man crouching in the corner, as he looked at the pieces on the lawn and thought about something, as if he had no idea that someone was watching him.
"He is the only son of Lord and Mrs. Zhenzhao, the noble young master, he returned here two days before the fire, but because he studied abroad since he was a child, I saw him for the first time that day."
"Speaking of which, the first time I met Master Aman was at that time, because they had been living abroad before, but after the fire, Master Aman lived here, as if he had some kind of way."
With that, the gardener had led them to the gate of the castle, pushed open the door, and let the group in.
"Look, that's the dead old man, and it's exactly the same as the noble young master."
When I entered the door, I saw several huge photos, and the one facing them was the so-called big man.
It's really similar to a nobleman, but he simply has an extra mustache, and his hairstyle and squinting eyes are exactly the same, and he is really his grandson......
"Then the other two are ......"
"Oh, that's Mrs. Zhenzhao and Master Zhenzhao, Master Zhenzhao is actually a historian, so he has special respect for the eldest master, and Mrs. is often jealous because of this......"
"She often said that the old man is just an intellectual with a crooked mouth, right?"
Before the gardener could finish speaking, an old lady in a wheelchair came up behind them, startling the gardener.
"Ah, excuse me...... I shouldn't remind the eldest lady of the eldest ......"
The gardener who reacted hurriedly apologized to the master, but the other party obviously didn't take it to heart.
"Don't worry, he's been gone for so long, I'm used to life without him, just like the change in the size of the banknote and passport, it's true that I'm not used to it at first, but as time goes by, I have to get used to it......"
The old man seemed to sigh a little and continued.
"Time is a terrible thing, whether it's happy, angry, or sad memories, it's always going to be diluted by it........."
"I'm sorry to hear you say that...... By the way, who are these? ”
The old lady looked up and saw Dr. Asasa and Katayama, and wondered why they appeared in the castle without these two people in her memory.
"Oh...... This is a friend of the old man, and he is also a scientist. ”
The gardener immediately said nervously, but he didn't expect the old man to change his expression when he heard the scientist.
I saw her bow her head slightly, and her glasses showed a villain-like reflection unique to animation......
"I didn't expect it to be a scientist, so I'm going to ask you to help us solve the puzzle of this castle........."
"Puzzles?"
Conan immediately became excited, good fellow, I won't be sleepy if you say this!
Katayama didn't react, he wasn't interested in decryption, maybe he would be excited if Zorro was here, the squirrel didn't seem to be interested, lying on Katayama's shoulder and dozing.
The forest where it helped solve the case was completely to disgust the black-clothed organization, and now it is too lazy to take care of this kind of family affairs of other people's families, and it is not a smart experiment like Zorro, alas, it is put on the table.
"Oh, and the old man said before that whoever can solve the puzzles in the castle will get the most precious treasures........."
"Speaking of which, why hasn't my daughter come yet?"
The old man turned his head to look at the gate of the castle and looked around a few more times, as if expecting someone to appear.
However, if Katayama remembers correctly, the gardener clearly said that her daughter had been destroyed by the fire.........
"Oh, she said she was coming back to celebrate my birthday, and you asked her to come to my room when she came back."
Seeing that no one showed up for a long time, the old man shook his wheelchair and prepared to leave, muttering excitedly, "I'm going to see my daughter soon.........
When the old man's back disappeared, the gardener silently added.
"She's been like this since that fire.........
"I think she's been hit hard......"
Dr. Asa and the gardener sighed with emotion, it seems that this eldest lady has become like this because of the excessive sadness of losing her daughter, and she should be a little Alzheimer's or something.
"By the way, uncle, is there a room here where you can see the whole courtyard?"
"Ah...... Huh? ”
The gardener thought for a moment and probably pointed in one direction, probably the third floor of the castle......
"Okay, thank you......"
Conan dragged Katayama and ran upstairs, followed by Gray Plains with Snowflake and a few bear children.
In Conan's impression, Katayama also has the ability to solve crimes, and together they may be able to communicate with each other and be inspired.
The gray principle is to be bored to keep up and take a look, and the three little ones are just joining in the fun.........
………
"Well, that's ...... over here."
Sure enough, as the gardener said, the whole yard could be seen here, and Conan immediately drew the chess pieces in the yard on the small notebook he carried.
"What does this game mean?"
Conan looked at Katayama and seemed to hope that he could give himself an idea, just as Sherlock Holmes often asked Watson, and Di Renjie often said Yuan Fang, what do you think.
Detectives usually need someone to come up with an idea, they don't need to be right, they just need to be able to inspire them.........
Just as Katayama was about to talk nonsense, three small screams came from the room next to him.........
"It's broken, won't it......"
Conan and Katayama rushed over immediately.........
