Kaedehara is indeed not as interested in puzzles as Conan.

And although he doesn't remember the specific process of solving the puzzle, he remembers what the so-called treasure is.

So he was even less interested in the puzzle.

Of course, it is not very in line with his "setting" to say that he is not interested, so after thinking about it for a while, Kaedehara decided to take a compromise.

"General."

Interested, but not much.

"Aren't you a detective?"

"Detectives can't generalize either," Kaedehara said solemnly, "and I'm just not in such a hurry." ”

"Oh... I thought the detectives wouldn't be able to refuse a puzzle. ”

Just in front of the two, Conan had already run up to the second floor in a puff of smoke, and then disappeared from the sight of the two, followed by Ayumi and the others.

As he walked up the stairs, he suddenly thought of something, stopped, and looked at Kaedehara suspiciously.

"You can't be unraveled, right?"

“… How can it be. Kaedehara decisively denied.

While it's nice to be thought you're good, it can also put extra pressure on yourself.

He felt that his previous performance was more due to his own memory, and he didn't think that he could go on like this forever.

So when he learned the techniques of Hawaii in his memory, he didn't forget to figure out the idea of learning Yusaku Kudo and Shinichi Kudo.

However, despite what Kaedehara said, Gray Hara obviously didn't believe it.

According to his sister, Kudo, this guy just glanced at his sister and knew everything, and the previous stadium incident was the same, and he just heard someone relay it to know who the gangster was.

Then it doesn't seem strange that the puzzle can be solved just by looking at it.

So... Is this probably just to comfort yourself so that you don't get too hit?

But she's not a detective, and she's not that vulnerable.

Thinking like this, Gray Hara snorted and continued to climb the stairs.

According to the old man, the puzzle apparently refers to the Western chessboard and chess pieces in the garden.

So the young detectives all came to a room where they could see the entire chessboard from above.

In fact, since this is a castle, there are many such rooms upstairs.

Mitsuhiko occupies a room by himself. Next to him, Conan and Ayumi huddled together on the window edge and looked down, while Motota leaned against them and poked his head out.

The two of them went straight to the third room.

Also leaning on the window and looking down, the eight-by-eight chessboard is staggered with black and white chess pieces.

The shape of the black chess pieces looked like a letter G when turned sideways, but Gray Yuan didn't think that the puzzle that had plagued the family for a long time would be so simple.

So she just glanced at it twice, and then turned to look at Kaedehara beside her.

Kaedehara was looking at the chessboard below, and although he wasn't very interested in solving the puzzle, he was here after all.

"Don't you already know?" Gray Yuan Wai asked curiously, "Do you still want to see it?" ”

I just said it in vain...

Kaedehara decided to change the subject: "I didn't. Anyway, don't you give it a try? ”

"I'm not a detective."

“… And it's not just detectives who solve mysteries. ”

"Ah, so, you want to see my reasoning skills?"

Gray Yuan said softly, leaned closer, and looked at Kaedehara's side face, "Could it be that Mr. Detective wants to find his own Watson?" ”

I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense.

Or Conan is more suitable to be Watson, or I can go and be Watson for Conan.

Thinking like this, Kaedehara turned his head to explain it properly, and then remembered that Ashbara had just gotten closer and was looking at him.

So the next second, the two of them were face to face, and the tips of their noses were almost together.

Kaedehara subconsciously lowered his head backwards.

In the next moment, the two of them heard Ayumi's shouting.

"What are you two doing?" Ayumi's anxious voice came from the next window, "It's going to fall!" ”

Eyes are staggered.

Kaedehara and Gray Plains looked over the window edge, and found that Motota had run to Mitsuhiko's room at some point, and at this moment, because he was lying outward, his whole body fell out, and he was trying to climb in by the window edge.

The two of them also hurriedly ran over to help, but when they reached the door, they saw Conan standing outside the room and angrily shouting inside.

Conan didn't rush in, which means that he is fine.

Thinking like this, Gray Yuan Ai and Kaede Yuan planned to go back and continue to look at the Western chessboard downstairs.

But in just a minute, a new problem arises.

"Conan is gone?"

Hearing the shouts of Mitsuhiko and Motota, Kaedehara, Ai Ashbara, and Ayumi all came to the room where Conan had just entered and joined the two.

"But wasn't he still in your room?" Ayumi looked worried.

"Who knows!" Motota said.

"We just turned around and he suddenly disappeared." Mitsuhiko explained.

Kaedehara looked into the room and noticed a chair lying down the wall, with books scattered around it. There was also a clock on the wall above the chair with the lid open, and the time on it was also incorrect.

This is clearly related to Conan's disappearance.

Gray Plains also noticed.

However, after glancing at Kaedehara, he found that he had no intention of checking it for the time being, and she didn't move after hesitating. She believed that Kaedehara must have noticed it too.

Just when she was still wondering why Kaedehara didn't move, Dr. Asa and the family's sons, Takato Mamiya, and the gardener also walked up.

"Doctor!" Ayumi ran over, "Conan, he's missing!" ”

"Conan is missing?"

"That's right! We're looking for him! ”

"Probably to the bathroom," said the gardener, "it's downstairs." ”

The elementary school students relieved themselves and complained that Conan went to the bathroom without telling them, so they followed Dr. Asa and the others to the bathroom to find Conan.

Kaedehara and Ashbara fell to the end, and then returned to their previous room.

"I'll do it."

Kaedehara said, walking towards the fallen chair.

Straightening the chair and stacking the books on top of it, Kaedehara stepped on it.

But before turning the hands of the clock, he paused.

"What's wrong?"

"Conan disappeared without saying a word, probably not reflexing," Kaede Hara thought for a moment and said, "I guess it's a very fast revolving door." ”

"If you want to go in together, you'll have to be on the same side as me."

"Of course, you can come back later."

Ash Hara chose the former, and was ready to deal with the rotation of the wall.

Then Kaedehara gently flicked the hour hand of the clock.

The walls spun in an instant.

Ready, Ash Hara took two quick steps forward and moved out of the way of the swirling wall.

Kaedehara was in the air, pressed against the wall, and jumped to the side and landed smoothly.

The walls also closed in an instant.

It's a secret passage without any lights.

The two of them were instantly plunged into darkness.
