Pretend To Be a Good Person In the World of Conan - Chapter 350
Mamiya said that he would give them enough gasoline, and now that it was getting late, the four of them could stay overnight in the castle with food and lodging.
But the condition is that several people will help him solve the mystery.
Tomorrow happens to be a day off, so Hattori Heiji and Maurilan are not in a hurry to go back.
They were all very interested in this rare ancient castle and readily agreed.
Moreover, the so-called “conditions” of Mamiya Man, in the eyes of Hattori Heiji and Conan, are completely welfare. They are happy to put gasoline on them—the yard and the castle have a mysterious aura that makes them interesting puzzles no matter how you think about them.
The transaction was successful, and Mamiya was very satisfied.
He originally planned to tell several people the general situation, but suddenly an important call came in.
Mamiya Man so casually instructed the gardener next to him, and asked him to bring a few people into the castle for a brief tour, and then walked to the side to answer the phone.
Several people walked through the vast courtyard and walked towards the castle.
The large lawn next to it has been trimmed into a chessboard style, and there are many chess pieces taller than people on the “chessboard”.
Hattori Heiji thought this courtyard was very interesting: “Your family likes to play chess?”
“I don’t know, I’m just a yard worker.” The gardener was a little embarrassed.
He tried to drive people out just now, but he didn’t expect that when the palace was full, he happily let people in, and he was as if he wanted to treat them as distinguished guests.
Now that the situation has changed, and now suddenly being asked by a guest, the gardener has lost the attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away.
He gave a very detailed answer, trying to make the atmosphere less rigid: “I just follow the previous master’s instructions to maintain the lawn in this state – the previous master would do this, and it was also in accordance with the last words of the great master who passed away 15 years ago.”
“Previous master? Too master?” Why are there so many masters, “The one who agreed to stay with us just now is…?”
“It’s Madam’s second husband, Mr. Mamiya Mitsuki. His predecessor, Mr. Mamiya Zhenzhao, died of illness six years ago. After a while, Mr. Mamiya and his wife got married and lived in the castle.”
Gardeners, like staff elsewhere, have no sense of secrecy.
But the topic of “joining the family” is somewhat delicate, so he turned to talk about other things. This is something that some reporters in the past often came to ask about, and outsiders must be interested—
“Four years ago, Madam died because of a fire, and Madam’s mother suffered from Alzheimer’s disease, so now, Mr. Mamiya is the head of the family.”
Shiraishi basically knew what the gardener said.
To put it simply, this family is sparse and full of disasters. At present, it seems that only Ma Gongman, the son-in-law of the family, and his mother-in-law Mrs. Tai are still alive. Also, Mamiya seems to have a stepson.
Recalling the content of the task, Shiraishi grabbed the key words for others: “Fire?”
“Yeah.” The gardener pointed to the minaret on the other side. “Look, it’s that charred tower over there.”
“Four years ago, Madam came back from abroad on purpose to wish Madam Tai’s birthday. She arrived in the middle of the night and lived in that tower, but the tower caught fire before dawn.”
Speaking of this, the gardener is a little scared:
“Not only the lady died, but also more than ten servants who took care of Mrs. Tai. I was still in the probation period and didn’t officially live in the villa, so I survived. The other survivors were only sick and lived in the annex. Mrs. Tai, Mr. Man, and the son of Mrs. and the previous master, the young master.”
Several people followed the direction of the gardener and saw a squinting young man on the edge of the lawn.
Noble Mamiya was stroking the big chess pieces on the lawn with a thoughtful look, although from his angle, apart from the material of the chess pieces, he really didn’t know what else could be observed.
The two detectives silently filled their minds with intelligence.
After entering the villa, a huge portrait on the opposite wall is very conspicuous. In addition, there are also several portraits of a slightly smaller size on the side wall. The paintings are of the owners who lived here in the past dynasties.
When the gardener introduced them, an old lady in a wheelchair appeared from the side and began to recite some old favorite words.
Shiraishi glanced at her, and then looked at the neat row of ghosts near her, who probably knew what to do with the mission.
In fact, most of the things in this castle were done by the “old lady” in front of him.
Of course, she is not a real old lady either. She is in her prime, but she has plastic surgery to look like an old man.
Nishikawa Mutsumi used to be a maid here.
Later, she coveted the “highest treasure” left by the grandfather, and imprisoned the real lady in the secret passage of the castle.
This kind of operation is easy to deceive passers-by, but it is difficult to deceive the daughter of Mrs. Tai.
After realizing this, Nishikawa Mutsumi continued to do nothing and set fire to everyone who was familiar with the old lady, disguising it as an accident.
The operation of killing people and stealing treasures is not uncommon throughout the ages, but in fact, the “highest treasure” left by the old man is not property.
Shiraishi looked at the portrait of the old man in the hall.
In my impression, after rotating this oil painting to the side, a ladder leading to the top can be revealed, and you can climb to the highest point of the castle by following it, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the surrounding forests – this scene is the treasure left by the old man.
This time, the demands of the ghosts are also related to these.
They don’t want Nishikawa Suimei to be caught or die so easily, but they want to let her kill her first. When they think they are about to get treasure, get huge sums of money, and reach the peak of life, they suddenly fall into life. The bottom of the valley, and then ended up gloomy with that old face.
Baishi summed up their requirements a little bit, seemingly to let Mrs. Tai think that she has eliminated all difficulties and dangers, UU reading www.uukanshu. com ran to the location of the treasure, and found that the treasure was just a landscape.
This is very convenient.
This time, Shiraishi carried two puzzle solving tools and a thug.
As long as you look at the dead and maintain the “evenly matched” on both sides, Hattori Heiji and Conan should be able to solve the mystery smoothly, and let this “grandmother” experience a bungee jumping life that is about to fail.
With that in mind, when Hattori Heiji and Conan found a suitable room and were about to overlook the chess game on the lawn, Shiraishi walked over to Hattori Heiji and shoved the folding stick that he had brought into his hand.
Hattori Heiji with a knife and without a knife, the force value is simply polarized.
Although I can’t get him a knife directly, this folding stick is about the same length as the wooden knife commonly used in kendo, and the effect is not much worse.
This is when Shiraishi saw Hattori Heiji on the ship of “Ye Caisan”, and learned that the drug dealer mission might have a follow-up, so he chose it after returning home to strengthen his helper.
– Even though Hattori Heiji doesn’t seem to be particularly friendly to him, as a member of the protagonist group, when danger strikes, this black-skinned detective will definitely go up to it consciously. Rounding up, he can be considered half a bodyguard.
In case Nishikawa Suimei is a hidden martial arts master, or is mad and slashes with a long knife, she still has to make sure that no one is dead here.
As for whether Hattori Heiji and Maurilan will be too tyrannical and lead to supermodels in force… But don’t worry too much, isn’t it because there are teammates to help balance.
Hattori Heiji didn’t know Shiraishi’s mental journey, he looked at the stick in his hand doubtfully: “?”
Just listening to half of the peers on the opposite side look serious, and said in a low voice: “I always feel that the atmosphere here is not right, you can take it for self-defense – be sure to take it with you.”
