Conan's other self

Maplehara is indeed not as interested in puzzles as Conan.

And although he didn't remember the specific process of solving the puzzle, he did remember what the so-called treasure was.

So he was even less interested in the puzzle.

Of course, directly saying that he was not interested was not in line with his "setting", so after thinking about it for a while, Maplehara decided to make a compromise.

"generally."

Interested, but not much.

"Aren't you a detective?"

"Detectives can't make generalizations," Fengyuan said seriously, "and I'm just not in that hurry."

"Oh...I thought detective gentlemen couldn't resist puzzles."

Just in front of the two of them, Conan had already run up to the second floor and disappeared from their sight, followed closely by Ayumi and others.

When walking up the stairs, Haiyuan Ai suddenly thought of something, stopped, and looked at Feng Yuan suspiciously.

"Have you already untied it?"

"...How is that possible?" Fengyuan denied decisively.

Although it is gratifying to be thought of as great, it can also bring additional pressure to oneself.

He was very conscious that his previous performance was more due to his own memory, and he didn't think he could continue like this.

So when he was learning the techniques of Hawaii in his memory, he also did not forget to try to figure out the ideas of Yusaku Kudo and Shinichi Kudo.

However, even though Feng Yuan said this, Hai Yuan Ai obviously didn't believe it.

According to my sister, Kudo knew everything just by looking at her. It was the same with the previous incident at the stadium. He knew who the gangster was just by hearing someone else's report.

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

So...this is probably just to comfort myself, so as not to be too shocked?

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

Thinking like this, Haiyuan groaned and continued to climb the stairs.

According to the grand master, the puzzle apparently refers to the chessboard and chess pieces in the garden.

So the young detective team came to the room where they could see the entire chessboard from top to bottom.

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

Mitsuhiko occupies a room alone. Next door to him, Conan and Ayumi were huddled together and lying on the window sill looking down, while Genta was leaning on them and sticking his head out.

The two went straight to the third room.

Also lying on the window and looking down, there were black and white chess pieces staggered on the eight by eight chessboard.

The shape formed by the black chess pieces looked like the letter G when viewed from the side, but Haibara Ai didn't think this puzzle that had troubled the family for a long time would be so simple.

So she just glanced twice and then turned to look at Feng Yuan beside her.

Fengyuan was looking at the chessboard below. Although he was not very interested in solving the puzzle, he was here after all.

"Don't you already know?" Haiyuan Ai asked curiously, "Do you still want to read it?"

What I just said was in vain...

Fengyuan decided to change the subject: "I didn't. By the way, why don't you give it a try?"

"I'm not a detective."

"...It's not like only detectives can solve mysteries."

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

Hui Yuan Ai said softly, getting closer and looking at Feng Yuan's side face, "Is it possible that Mr. Detective wants to find his own Watson?"

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

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

Thinking like this, Feng Yuan turned his head and planned to explain it, and then he remembered that Hai Yuan Ai had just come closer and was looking at him.

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

Feng Yuan subconsciously moved his head back.

The next moment, the two heard Ayumi's shout.

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

The sight is misaligned.

Fengyuan and Haiyuan Ai were lying on the window edge and looked over there, and found that Yuantai had run into Mitsuhiko's room without knowing when. At this moment, because he was lying too far away, his whole body fell out, and he was holding on to the window edge and trying hard. Climb inside.

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

Conan didn't rush in, which meant everything was fine.

Thinking like this, Haiyuan Ai and Feng Yuan planned to go back and continue looking at the chess board downstairs.

But within a minute, a new problem emerged.

"Conan is missing?"

Hearing the shouts of Mitsuhiko and Genta, Maplehara, Haibara Ai and Ayumi all came to the outside of the room where Conan had just entered and met the two of them.

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

"Who knows!" Yuantai said.

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

Maplehara looked into the room and noticed a chair leaning against the wall, with scattered books beside it. There was also a clock with its lid open on the wall above the chair, and the time on it was wrong.

This is obviously related to Conan's disappearance.

Haihara Ai also noticed.

However, after taking a look at Feng Yuan, she found that he had no intention of checking for the time being, so she hesitated and did not move. She believed that Fengyuan must have noticed it too.

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

"Doctor!" Ayumi ran over, "Conan is missing!"

"Conan is missing?"

"Yes! We are looking for him!"

"I'm probably going to the bathroom," the gardener said. "It's just downstairs."

The primary school students felt relieved and complained that Conan didn't tell them when he went to the bathroom, so they followed Dr. Agasa and others to the bathroom to find Conan.

Feng Yuan and Hai Yuan Ai were last, and then returned to the previous room.

"Let me do it."

Kaedehara said, walking towards the fallen chair.

He straightened the chair, stacked the books on it, and stepped on it.

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

"What's wrong?"

"Conan disappeared without a word, maybe because he couldn't react," Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I guess it was a very fast revolving door."

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

"Of course, you can come in later."

Haihara Ai chose the former and was prepared to deal with the rotation of the wall.

Then Maplehara gently moved the hour hand of the clock.

The wall instantly spun.

Because she was already prepared, Haihara Ai quickly took two steps forward and got out of the way of the rotating wall.

Feng Yuanren was in the air, pressed against the wall and used force to jump to the side and landed smoothly.

The wall also closed instantly.

This is a secret passage without any lights.

The two of them were instantly plunged into darkness.
