Chapter 350 Die to the point where there are only four choices left and one laugh)
Mamiya Man said he would give them enough gasoline, and it was getting late now, so the four of them could stay in the castle, including food and accommodation.
But the condition is that several people have to help him solve the puzzle.
Tomorrow is just off, and Hattori Heiji and Mori Ran are not in a hurry to go back.
They were all interested in this rare castle and agreed readily.
Moreover, the so-called "conditions" of Mamiya Miyako, in Hattori Heiji and Conan, is completely a benefit. They are happy to pay for gasoline - this yard and the castle have a mysterious atmosphere, which is very interesting to think of.
The transaction was successful, Mamiya was very satisfied.
He originally planned to tell the people about the general situation, but suddenly an important phone call came in.
Mamiya then ordered the gardener next to him and asked him to take a few people into the castle, visit it briefly, and walk 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 was trimmed into a chessboard style, and there were many chess pieces taller than people on the "chessboard".
Hattori Heiji thought the courtyard was very interesting: "Your family likes to play chess?"
"I don't know, I'm just a working in the yard." The gardener was a little embarrassed.
He had just driven the people out with great effort, but unexpectedly, when Mamiya came, he put the people in happily, and he seemed to treat them as distinguished guests.
Since the situation has changed, and now that the guest is suddenly asked, the gardener has lost the attitude of keeping people from thousands of miles away.
He answered in great detail, trying to make the atmosphere less stiff: "I just kept the lawn in this state as the ex-master told me - the ex-master would do this, and it was also following the last words of the grand master who passed away 15 years ago."
"Ex-master? Grandmaster?" Why are there so many masters? "The one who just agreed to let us stay overnight is..."
"It is the wife's second husband, Mr. Mamiya Manta. His former Mr. Mamiya Sadaki died of illness six years ago. After a while, Mr. Mamiya Manta got married and moved into the castle."
The gardener, like the staff in other places, has no sense of confidentiality.
But the topic of "marriage into a marriage" is somewhat subtle, so he turned to something else, which was something that some reporters often came to inquire about before, and outsiders must be interested-
"Four years ago, the wife was killed by a fire, and her mother suffered from Alzheimer's disease, so now, Mr. Mamiya has become the head of the family."
Shiraish basically knows what the gardener said.
Simply put, this family is small and has many disasters. At present, it seems that only the son-in-law Mamiya Man, who is married to her, is still alive with his mother-in-law Mamiya. In addition, Mamiya Man seems to have a stepson.
Thinking of the content of the task, Shiraishi caught the keyword for others again: "Fire?"
"Yes." The gardener pointed to the spire on the other side, "Look, it's the burnt tower over there."
"Four years ago, the lady came back from abroad to celebrate her birthday. She arrived in the middle of the night and moved into the tower, but the tower caught fire before dawn."
Speaking of this, the gardener is a little scared:
"It's not just the wife who died, but more than a dozen servants who took care of the grandma. I was still in the probation period and did not officially move into the villa, so I survived. The other survivors were the grandma, Mr. Man who was sick and lived in other restaurants, as well as the son of the wife and the former master, the noble master."
Several people followed the gardener's pointing and saw a young man with squinting eyes on the edge of the lawn.
The noble man Mamiya was stroking the big chess piece on the lawn, looking thoughtful. Although from his perspective, apart from the material of the chess piece, I really don't know what else to observe. 139 Chinese
The two detectives silently instilled in their minds.
After entering the villa, a huge portrait on the opposite wall was very conspicuous. In addition, there were also several portraits of a smaller size hanging on the side wall, all of which were the owners who lived here for generations.
When the gardener introduced them, an old lady in a wheelchair appeared quietly from the side and began to chant some things the old man liked to say.
Shiraishi glanced at her, then looked at the neat row of ghosts near her, and probably knew what to do the task.
In fact, most of the things in this castle were created by the "old lady" in front of her.
Of course, she is not a real old lady. She is in her prime and has just had plastic surgery to look like an old woman.
Nishikawa Mumi was a maid here before.
Later, she coveted the "supreme treasure" left by the Grand Master, imprisoned the real Grandma in the secret passage of the castle, and took plastic surgery to become the Grandma, and then pretended to be dementia, hoping to get the legendary treasure.
This kind of operation is easy to deceive passers-by, but it is difficult to deceive the daughter of the lady.
After Nishikawa Mutsumi realized this, she kept doing everything and burned all the people she knew about the old lady and pretended to be an accident.
The operation of killing people and catching treasures has not been uncommon throughout history, but in fact, the "supreme 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 exposed, and you can climb to the highest point of the castle and overlook the beautiful scenery of the surrounding forests - this scene is the treasure left by the old man.
This time, the ghosts' requests are also related to these.
They didn't want Nishikawa Yumi to be caught or died so simply, but wanted to let her kill her first. When they thought they were about to get the treasure, get a huge sum of money, and reach the peak of their lives, they suddenly fell to the bottom of their lives, and then died in depression with her old face.
Shiraishi briefly summarized their requirements from one sentence to another. It seemed that the Madam first thought that she had overcome all difficulties and dangers, ran to the location of the treasure, and then found that the treasure was just a landscape.
This is very convenient.
Shiraishi brought two puzzle tool guys and a thug with him this time.
As long as you look at it, don’t die and maintain the “even-match” between the two sides, Hattori Heiji and Conan should be able to solve the mystery smoothly and let this "old grandma" experience a successful bungee jumping life.
Thinking of this, when Hattori Heiji and Conan found a suitable room and were preparing to overlook the chess game on the lawn, Shiraishi walked to Hattori Heiji and stuffed his own folding stick into his hand.
Hattori Heiji has a knife and no knife, and his strength is simply polarized.
Although I couldn't just get him a knife, the length of this folding stick is similar to that of the wooden knife commonly used in kendo, and I think the effect is not much worse.
This is what Shiraishi saw Hattori Heiji on the ship of "Ye Caisan" and learned that the drug dealer mission might have a follow-up, so he specially selected it after returning home to strengthen his helpers.
——Even if Hattori Heiji doesn’t seem to be particularly friendly to him, as a member of the protagonist group, when there is danger, this black-skinned detective will definitely consciously push up and round it up, and it can be considered half a bodyguard.
If Nishikawa Yumi is a hidden martial arts master, or is furious and slashes with a long knife, she still has to make sure that no one is dead here first.
As for whether Hattori Heiji and Mori Ran are too powerful, leading to the supermodel of force... don't worry too much, isn't there any teammates who help balance?
Hattori Heiji didn't know Shiraishi's mental journey, so he looked at the stick in his hand in confusion: "?"
