Entering the castle courtyard, the little ghost heads are immediately attracted by the beautiful view. The grass in the courtyard is trimmed into a checkerboard shape, and there are huge stone carvings of chess, each of which is larger than the whole person of the little ghost head.

Dr. Agasa asked the gardener uncle on the side, “Does anyone here like to play chess?” ”

The gardener shook his head in ignorance, “I don’t know, I just followed the orders of the previous master ‘Master Zhenzhao’, tidied up every day, and kept this place as it was.” Moreover, it is said that this incident is the last words of the ‘old man’ who died fifteen years ago. ”

It turned out that the lady here had two husbands, one was Old Master Zhenzhao, who died six years ago, and the other was the national character face who was called Old Master Man. However, Madame also died four years ago, and this second husband remained in the castle.

The gardener also babbled a lot, but Hua Zhi was not interested in these things, so he did not listen carefully, but Conan listened attentively.

Walking to the castle lobby, Dr. Agasa looked up and found a huge oil painting hanging on the front wall, on which was an old man with a resolute face, and the first thing he felt was “a handsome old man!” “。 Portraits of a man and a woman were also found on the walls on both sides.

“The portrait on the left and right is the first old man and his wife, and the portrait in the middle is the old man.” The gardener said lightly: “The lord admires the old man as a historian, which makes the lady very jealous and often says…”

Before he finished speaking, an old woman appeared behind her with a wheelchair and said lightly, “It is often said that Dad is just an intellectual who can only reason.” ”

“Ghost!” Ayumi exclaimed.

Everyone looked back and saw a wheelchair sliding over, and on the wheelchair sat an old woman with a wrinkled face and funny round glasses, who looked dry no matter how she looked. The first moment he saw the old man, a hint of surprise flashed on his face – this old woman is so strange! It is clear that he is so old, but his qi and blood are more vigorous than those of young people.

Is it another transfiguration guy?

Thinking of this, Hua Wei looked closely, but found that the other party did not have a trace of transfiguration, and finally realized. This guy is not a transfiguration at all, but a facelift! A good young man actually had plastic surgery into an old woman?

“Mrs. – Mrs.!” The gardener was shocked, but he did not expect to be heard by the lady just after saying bad things about the old man.

Madame Dowager was not angry, “Actually, Old Master Tai also knows about this, but he is not impressed at all, but proud.” ”

The gardener’s uncle hurriedly took off his felt hat, revealing his bald head like a brine egg, and bowed to apologize to Madame Dowager, “I’m sorry to remind you of unpleasant memories.” ”

“No need to apologize, I’m used to the days when he’s not around.” The old lady’s wrinkled face showed a hint of remembrance, “Just like the pattern of the banknote and the size of the passport have changed, you will not get used to it at first, and then you will get used to it.” By the way, who are they? ”

“They are the master’s scientist friends.”

“Scientists?” The old lady seemed surprised by the title, “Oh – it’s really exciting, then be sure to ask them to solve the mystery left by the old man.” ”

Mystery?

These two words instantly aroused Conan’s spirit, and Hua Qing’s eyes lit up.

The mystery left by the old man… Could it have something to do with what I felt after I came to the mountains?

Seeing that everyone had different expressions, the gardener explained: It turned out that before his death, the old man left a last word saying that he would give his greatest treasure to the person who solved the mystery of the castle.

The mystery of the castle… Treasure…… The little ghosts were all in high spirits, fantasizing about a room full of gold and silver jewelry and eel rice.

“Oh yes, isn’t my daughter here yet?” Mrs. Dowager committed Alzheimer’s again, obviously her daughter had been burned to death in the fire, but she thought that her daughter was still alive, “Didn’t my daughter say that she would come over today to wish me a birthday?” Oh hehe, if she comes over, ask her to go to my room, and finally see her~” said Mrs. Mother happily skated her wheelchair back to her room.

For this plastic surgery old lady Hua Zhi did not pay attention to it, because this person lived in the castle for a long time, even if there was any conspiracy, it could not be against those who happened to pass by.

Dr. Agasa approached the gardener creepy, “Isn’t her daughter dead?” ”

“Yes, since the fire, Madame has become like this…”

“It’s pitiful,” Dr. Agasa sighed.

Conan leaned in out of place, “Naw! Uncle, is there a room with a full view of chess in the courtyard? ”

……

Soon, Hua Wei and these little ghosts came to the room, and from this room looking out the window, they could just get a panoramic view of the courtyard.

“Wow! See well clearly, the chess pieces are lined up neatly. ”

Is it neat? Hua didn’t know where the-like arrangement was neat, perhaps because he didn’t know how to play chess.

Since the window is not large, and it has been occupied by Ayumi Conan and Hana, the big man of Mota cannot squeeze in, so he can only run to the windowsill in the next room.

Conan took the book he carried with him and drew the chessboard in the courtyard, then sat on the ground and bit his pen in thought.

“What are you doing?” Hua glanced at him casually.

Haibara indifferently answered for Conan, “This is his favorite code.” ”

Hua Ming looked nonchalant, “Conan, do you think the clues of the treasure are hidden in the chessboard?” ”

“Huh? What are you laughing at? Conan raised his head and glanced at Hua Ming suspiciously.

“Nothing.” Hua Zhi grinned and didn’t say anything more.

As soon as he entered the mountain, he felt that something was attracting him, the direction and location were clear in his mind, if it was really a treasure left by the old man, he was now far ahead.

At this time, Ayumi at the window suddenly shouted, “It’s not good! Genta is going to fall out of the window! ”

Hua looked at it unknowingly, and saw Yuantai hanging in the next window like soy sauce meat, half of his body was outside the window, if it weren’t for Mitsuhiko’s efforts to grasp it, I am afraid that he would have fallen long ago. However, looking at his size, it is estimated that Mitsuhiko will not last long.

Conan could only run to the next room, but saw that Motata had climbed up and panted on the windowsill, obviously frightened.

“What the hell are you doing?”

As soon as he said this, Conan felt that something was wrong.

Strangely, the window of the room over there is next to the wall, and the same is true of the window of the room on this side, but the distance between the two windows is almost four meters. What’s going on?

Could it be that the wall dividing the two rooms is actually more than three meters thick?

Are you kidding! Three-meter-thick walls? Is this to protect against missiles? Unless there is something else in the middle of the wall….

Thinking of this, Conan immediately knocked on the wall, and suddenly his eyes lit up, “Empty!” ”

Conan soon discovers that the wall clock is the mechanism for entering the secret passage, which automatically opens as long as the pointer is turned to a certain angle.

Doing what he said, ignoring the two imps arguing at the window, Conan took care of himself and put a chair under the clock, and put a few books on the chair. Seeing that the height was almost the same, he stood on it, reached out and opened the lid of the clock to start and turn the clock hands.

Suddenly, the wall in front of him opened and closed like a revolving door, and Conan was caught off guard and fell into the secret room, and then the secret room closed, and the wall returned as if nothing had happened.

The two who were arguing stopped their movements and looked back at the empty room.

“Strange? Wasn’t Conan in the room just now? Mitsuhiko looked around but did not find Conan.

“Why is he gone?” Genta looked and saw only an overturned chair and a few books in the corner, but there was no trace of Conan.
