After everyone finished drinking the juice, they followed Senior Jingtang and took a taxi to the Jingtang mansion.

After entering the mansion, the members of the Junior Detective Team couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"This place looks like a park~"

"Is this all considered their family's courtyard? They are indeed the super rich Jingtang family!"

"..."

When they were almost in front of the Jingtang family's house, a pitch-black tower standing upright on the ground appeared in front of everyone.

The tower was dark black, and there was no entrance or window at all.

After noticing everyone's gaze, Senior Sister Kagamido extended her hand and introduced: "This is the 'Dark Tower' you have heard of~ Occasionally, there will be bursts of unexplained laughter coming from the top of the tower!"

Seeing that several young members of the detective team showed fear, Senior Sister Kagamido immediately smiled and waved her hand, and continued:

"This tower was built by my grandfather Kagamido Seitaro 40 years ago. He is very keen on architecture and has set up many mechanisms in this house."

Conan looked up at the black tower and pondered slightly.

Since the person who built this tower likes architecture and mechanisms, the entrance to this black tower may be hidden in the Kagamido family.

At this moment, Senior Sister Kagamido's tone suddenly became a little low.

"However, my father is planning to sell this tower and the land here recently..."

"Is this courtyard going to be sold too?" Xiaolan looked at Senior Sister Kagamido in surprise.

"Yes, that's right. After we sell it, we won't be able to look for treasure anymore. That's why my stepmother is so anxious."

Just when everyone was sad about this, fierce quarrels came from the house.

——"I don't want it! You actually sold the treasure so easily!"

"Now is not the time for you to be willful! This is the last chance to revive our Jingtang family. I don't have the energy to care about your boring dreams!"

"..."

Although Tatsuno and his friends were still some distance away from the mansion, the quarrel in the house was clearly heard by everyone.

Jingtang looked down at the members of the Junior Detective Team and said helplessly: "They have always been like that. I'm sorry to let you see such an embarrassing thing."

"No~ Adults have their own difficulties." Mitsuhiko nodded with his eyes closed.

"Yes, our parents often quarrel over trivial matters, it's nothing." Yuantai also nodded casually.

Seeing this, Ryuno and Xiaolan looked at each other. They didn't expect that they could give such a high EQ answer.

Senior Sister Jingtang smiled: "I didn't expect that I would be comforted by you guys! Ignore them, let's go to the tower first~"

"Oh!" X3

After arriving at the bottom of the black tower, everyone looked up at the tower and admired it slightly.

Although they had vaguely felt it when they saw it before, they didn't feel the height of this black tower until they got closer.

Judging from the visual, this black tower is at least ten meters high.

After getting close to the black tower, Mitsuhiko and the other two excitedly ran around the black tower, ready to explore the location of the "hidden" entrance.

Conan looked up at Senior Kagamido and asked, "Sister Kagamido, didn't your father mention anything about the treasure or the black tower?"

Senior Kagamido thought for a moment and lowered her head and replied, "Not at all~ But this is related to my father's marriage. My deceased mother should have heard about it from my grandfather..."

"Oh, right! There is another person who may know, Mr. Nagase! He used to be my grandfather's assistant and lived in a house not far from our house."

Soon after, Mitsuhiko and the others ran back dejectedly.

They had circled the black tower countless times, but still couldn't find the hidden entrance.

Genta even felt a little dizzy because of looking down and up for a long time.

Seeing the three people's lost expressions, Senior Kagamido immediately encouraged them, "Don't be discouraged, you just came, right? Just look for it slowly~"

After that, she led everyone to the "green aisle" around the mansion.

Looking at the mansion surrounded by green grass and flower walls, Xiaolan couldn't help but exclaim: "There are so many green plants, it's so beautiful~"

"After all, my grandfather likes green plants very much! But to be honest, it costs a lot of money to maintain these flowers and plants every year! This is also one of the reasons why our family is getting poorer~" Senior Sister Jingtang laughed.

After Senior Sister Jingtang finished speaking, she seemed to realize that what she said was a bit too "realistic" for the members of the Junior Detective Team in front of her.

So she leaned on the garden light beside her, then turned her head and pointed to the side, chuckling: "Come on, now look at the black tower through the archway~"

After everyone turned their heads, they were horrified to find that the black tower in the distance had turned upside down.

The top of the tower is below,The tower is on top.

Seeing the horrified look of Mitsuhiko and the others, Conan smiled and said, "Someone has set up a lens in the middle of the arch, so the black tower you see is the reverse."

Hearing this, Senior Sister Jingtang immediately reached out and touched Conan's head, and said in surprise, "Little brother, you are so smart! You are right, this is the mechanism my grandfather arranged back then~"

Under the curious eyes of everyone, Senior Sister Jingtang stepped on the mechanism on the base of the courtyard lamp with her foot.

Accompanied by the sound of clicking, a lens slowly fell from the center of the courtyard door.

The original appearance of the black tower appeared in front of everyone.

This scene, like a magic trick, immediately aroused the curiosity of Mitsuhiko and the others. The three of them quickly ran to the courtyard door and studied the "lens".

At this time, a mature female voice came from not far away.

"Oh, Nanami, it's so lively here~"

After seeing the newcomers, Kagamido immediately responded: "Ah, mom. These two are my juniors from high school: Maoli Ran and Takeda Tatsuno~"

After that, Kagamido looked at Tatsuno and Xiaolan again and introduced: "This is my mom, Ms. Momoeda~"

Kagamido Momoeda observed Tatsuno and Xiaolan.

After seeing Tatsuno's handsome appearance and masculine figure, a hint of light flashed in her eyes.

"Thank you for taking care of my daughter~"

"I'm very sorry that so many of us came to disturb her at once." Xiaolan looked at the Detective Boys not far away and said embarrassedly.

Hearing this, Kagamido Momoeda waved her hand, patted Xiaolan and Tatsuno on the shoulders, and chuckled: "Don't worry, you can have a good look. If you need anything, just tell us at any time~"

After seeing the attitude of her stepmother, Kagamido frowned in confusion.

She always felt that Miss Momoe's attitude towards Xiaolan and Tatsuno seemed to be better than her attitude towards other guests.

However, she did not think much about it, but asked: "Mom, weren't you talking about something with my brother? Did you find any clues?"

Kagami Tomoe tilted her head and recalled: "He only said something about a blue button, but he himself didn't understand what it meant."

"Really? It looks the same as before."

After saying that, Kaagami Tomoe said goodbye to Tatsuno and others and walked to the back of the mansion.
