Stay away from Conan

That night, as Gao Yuan searched through Kasaka Kiichi's office and found no books and materials that might explain his relationship with Karasuma Renye, he took the photo of Karasuma Renye and Kuroba. Kaito searched for the Russian handwritten information and left the castle with Xiao Ai and Kuroba Kaito.

As for Gan Shoichi, according to Kuroba Kaito, he has been trapped by a mechanism in the castle, and he cannot solve this mechanism without the help of outsiders.

Therefore, ready to teach this guy who sneaked into the castle a lesson, Gao Yuan and others considered trying to notify the police or Miss Kasaka Natsumi at least for a day and let them discover this thief who sneaked into the castle - —

After all, in order to enter the castle, this guy actually used a chainsaw to cut off the lock of the castle gate. This alone was enough to convict him.

Therefore, after leaving the castle, Gao Yuan and others drove back to Tokyo overnight. After saying goodbye to Kuroba Kaito, they stored the information in the basement of Akechi's house. Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai had to rest. As for preparations Starting to use the main computer in the basement to scan, organize and translate the materials can only be considered after a break.

As a result, the next day, there was news that the German-style castle in Yokosuka suddenly encountered a fire late last night. After Gao Yuan woke up, he had already seen——

Suddenly, Gao Yuan and others who had just left the castle last night were deeply surprised by this situation.

In this regard, because the castle in Yokosuka has not been inhabited all year round, and just yesterday in order to find the second "memory easter egg", everyone followed Natsumi Kasaka and others to the castle, so naturally, regarding this matter, Takato, Conan, Mouri Kogoro and others all went to Yokosuka again and met Miss Kasaka Natsumi——

"Miss Natsumi, are you okay?"

Very worried, after meeting Natsumi Kasaka, Xiaolan first asked with concern:

"The castle left by your great-grandfather..."

In this regard, Kasaka Natsumi didn't seem to pay too much attention to the focus of Xiaolan's question, she just shook her head and said:

"It's just that a lot of things in the castle were burned, but the structure of the castle was not too damaged... And, for me, as long as my great-grandmother's tomb is okay..."

In this way, Kasaka Natsumi expressed her thoughts about the castle on fire very frankly:

"only……"

However, when the conversation changed, Kasaka Natsumi seemed to think of something else, which made her sigh.

Seeing this, Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong? Miss Natsumi? Could it be that even the underground..."

"Oh, no, it's not..."

Facing Mouri Kogoro's concern, Kasaka Natsumi shook her head, lowered her head and replied:

"I just didn't expect that when the castle was on fire, there would be..."

"That's actually true."

Seeing that Kasaka Natsumi looked a little regretful, Butler Sawabe couldn't help but started to explain:

"While firefighters were inspecting the castle after extinguishing the fire, they discovered a burnt body inside."

"Burned bodies!"

Immediately, Conan and Mouri Kogoro were shocked when they heard this:

"Is it possible that there was still someone in the castle when the fire broke out?"

Conan asked in surprise.

At the same time, listening to these words, Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai probably already had a guess in their minds -

There was a fire in the castle last night, and the burnt body inside...

No matter how you think about it, it seems that he can only be the go-getter who was trapped in the castle last night, right?

If that's the case...

I really didn’t expect that this guy would end up like this?

But, why is this?

Why did the castle burn?

In this regard, Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai looked at each other quietly. It was obvious that they had roughly the same thoughts at the moment -

"After police investigation, the deceased should be Mr. Ganjiang Yi. Moreover, the police also found his car in front of the castle gate, as well as the castle gate lock that was damaged with a chainsaw..."

Soon, Butler Sawabe also expressed his conclusion about the identity of the deceased.

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then Mouri Kogoro naturally thought of what exactly happened, and couldn't help but say:

"It turns out to be that guy! When he went to the castle with us yesterday, he always wanted to take advantage of the treasures in the castle. It seems that this guy didn't give up and sneaked back yesterday... In this case, he deserves it. !”

Obviously feeling very dissatisfied with Gan Shoichi's behavior, Mouri Kogoro rebuked him like this, and also tried to comfort Kasaka Natsumi not to feel any psychological burden due to this.

However, although Conan basically agreed with Mouri Kogoro's views, but thinking about it carefully, there are actually many problems here, so he couldn't help but interjected and asked:

"Well...if that's the case, does the castle fire have something to do with Mr. Gan Jiangyi?"

So, listening to this question, Kasaka Natsumi shook her head and replied:

"This... Mr. Ganjiang Yi seems to have touched the mechanism left by my great-grandfather in the castle and was trapped in a mechanism cage... As for whether he set the fire, I don't know. The police are still investigating. ”

In response, after hearing this answer, Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai quietly looked at each other again——

Obviously, the conclusion that the deceased was Qian Jiangyi was indeed correct, and now it seems that he was trapped in the mechanism, which was also the key reason why he could not escape after the fire.

However, although Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai were slightly touched by the fact that they were the cause of Qian Jiangyi's death, they would obviously not expose themselves because of this. After all, this matter was Qian Jiangyi's own fault.

However, the key issue is still the cause of the fire. What caused the castle to catch fire?

Now in the castle, because of the fire, it is estimated that those flammable books, photos, etc. have been destroyed. There is no need to worry about the exposure of some materials that they secretly took from the castle, but this unclear fire can't be caused by Qian Jiangyi, right?

So, what happened to this fire?

Could it be that someone else entered the castle after they left last night?

…

“Nothing was found in the tomb of the Tsar’s third princess, Princess Maria, and all the information in the castle has been burned. You don’t have to worry about whether there might be anything related to you left there.”

“——Vermouth.”

As an email signed by “Vermouth” was written, a police officer wearing a technician’s uniform quietly sent such an email on his mobile phone after completing the on-site investigation of the castle after the fire.
