Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 420 The deal between Conan and Xiao Ai

Conan stared at the window in front of him, always feeling something strange.

He thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Sure enough, something is wrong..."

"The window of this room is next to the wall, and the distance in between is only a few dozen centimeters. The window of the room we came over just now is also about the same distance."

"Then, the distance between the windows on both sides, even including the thickness of the wall, should not exceed one and a half meters."

"And the doorways of the two rooms are open against the same wall. The distance between the doorways should be roughly the same as the distance between the windows..."

"But, when we ran over just now..." Conan's thoughts turned around, he exited the room and glanced at the corridor.

A faint smile appeared on his lips: "Sure enough, the distance between the doorways of the two rooms is more than two meters, so the thickness of the wall that separates the two rooms is a bit abnormal."

Conan returned to the room and started tapping on the wall on the side of the door.

Dongdong...dongdong...dong~

A clearly clearer sound came into Conan's ears.

"Sure enough, there is a hollow wall. It seems that this is where the mechanism is!"

Conan raised his head slightly and looked at the wall clock on the wall: "There used to be secret passages like this. As long as you turn the clock on the wall to the appropriate time, the entrance to the secret passage will open... Give it a try!"

He glanced around the room and fixed his gaze on a chair placed in the corner of the room.

"That's it!" Conan's eyes lit up and he ran towards the chair.

But the next moment.

"Ouch!"

He suddenly bumped into something.

He raised his head slightly and met Yu Gongming's half-smiling gaze.

"Can't reach the wall clock?" Yu Gongming asked in a low voice.

Conan was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "So you noticed it too?"

"Isn't this obvious? There is obviously an extra space on the wall. Looking at the way you were knocking just now, I almost understand it." Meng Yu beside him said with a smile.

"But you won't consider changing the time?" Yu Gongming asked.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Conan was confused.

Akira Hanomiya pointed at Genta and Mitsuhiko who were discussing something excitedly by the window, and smiled without saying a word.

Conan suddenly realized: "Well, don't you want them to get involved?"

"Well, according to the clues I have, they may not be able to handle the danger of this matter."

"Huh? What do you know?" Conan's eyes narrowed.

Yu Gongming said: "I will tell you this later."

"Okay." Conan heard this and stopped asking further questions.

"So, are you going to leave their three children behind to investigate again?" Xiao Ai's cold voice suddenly sounded.

"Hey! When did you come here?" Conan was obviously startled.

"Oh, when you bumped into Yu Gong." Xiao Ai said.

"Then can you keep it a secret from Yuantai and the others?" Conan asked.

Xiao Ai nodded without much hesitation: "Okay, but remember to bring me a copy of "The Theory of Relativity" next time you go to class."

"Deal!" Conan agreed simply. Judging from the two people's calm expressions, it was obvious that this was not the first time they had made such a similar deal.

After reaching a deal with Xiao Ai, Conan turned to look at Yu Gongming and whispered: "Midnight?"

"Here." Yu Gongming nodded and replied.

"Together." Mengyu was also concise and concise.

"Okay." Conan decided to confirm the matter.

"But you have to be careful, don't attract Guangyan and the others when you get up." Mengyu reminded

"Don't worry, it'll be no problem!" Conan said confidently.

Then he looked at Haiyuan: "If Mitsuhiko and the others are awakened, try to delay as much time as possible. If that doesn't work, just take them around the castle and never come to this room."

Xiao Ai looked at Conan with a half-smile but not a smile: "You have clearly arranged them!"

Conan shrugged: "Otherwise? I usually just look for cats and dogs, but now that I know there is danger, I definitely can't drag them in."

Xiao Ai was silent for a while, then silently stretched out her right hand and spread her five white fingers.

Conan raised his eyebrows: he raised his hand and held out three fingers.

Xiao Ai shook her head slightly, then bent her thumb down, leaving only four fingers.

Conan frowned, then gritted his teeth and nodded.

Seeing this, Xiao Ai nodded with satisfaction and retracted his hand.

"What riddles are you playing!" Meng Yu asked curiously, and Yu Gongming also showed interest.

Conan pouted: "One finger represents ten peanut butter and blueberry jam sandwiches, and there is no time limit."

"Yo? Xiao Ai, are you still charging for labor?" Yu Gongming couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Ai snorted softly and said: "I have a doctorate degree in pharmacology and biochemistry from Harvard University in the United States. I just went to the research institute and submitted a resume. My salary was two million (yen). It was not a problem to start with, but now I have to help take care of the children. Isn’t it too much to ask for a few sandwiches?”

"Hey, let's talk about it, Conan, you've earned it!" Hanemiya Akira said with a smile.

"Stop coming! There is no comparison in this kind of thing!" Conan looked disapproving.

"Everyone!"

The sudden sound attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

I saw Mr. Mamiya walking into the room and said with a smile: "We have prepared a sumptuous dinner for you. Please come to the restaurant."

"Eh? Can we eat now? Is there any eel rice?" Yuan Tai immediately became excited when he heard about eating.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down." Mamiya Takato smiled.

"Okay! Let's go! Let's go eat!" Yuantai shouted and rushed out of the room first.

"Hey! Genta, wait for me!" Mitsuhiko followed closely behind.

Seeing this, the others followed Mamiya Takato toward the restaurant.

…………

"We're about to start!" The three little eyes stared at the exquisitely arranged dishes in front of them, exuding an alluring aroma. After shouting, they raised their knives and forks and began to eat.

Especially Genta, who looked like he was gobbling up food so clearly that Conan, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Then other people began to enjoy dinner one after another. Mamiya looked at the table full of people and sighed with emotion:

"It's nice to be so lively and lively sometimes!"

"Yes." The noble Mamiya agreed: "Speaking of which, since my mother passed away four years ago, there have been very few guests coming to the castle."

"Well, I heard from my servant that the two of you have stayed here since the fire. Why is that?" Dr. A Li asked.

"Oh! I originally planned to come back and live here after graduating from college." Mamiya Takato said with a smile.

Mamiya Mitsuru said: "I saw that my mother-in-law lost her only daughter, and I felt a little worried, so I came back here."

"But as I lived, I gradually fell in love with this place where my wife was born and grew up."

"Hmph! I think what you like is not this castle, but the treasure hidden in this castle, right?"

A somewhat penetrating voice broke the originally relaxed atmosphere.
