Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko were lying in the room prepared for them by the Mamiya family, but the three of them were not sleepy at all.
"Where did Conan go..." Ayumi was in a low mood.
Mitsuhiko comforted her and said, "It's no problem. Didn't Teacher Yuan say that Conan will be found for sure?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Yuan said that we should come back to rest first, and leave the matter of finding people to him and Dr. Ali." Gentai agreed.
"But...but..." Ayumi was so choked that she couldn't speak.
Yuantai suggested: "It's just that Haiyuan-san seems to be with them. Should we go there too?"
"No!" His proposal was rejected by the other two people in unison.
"Mota, have you forgotten the counterfeit money case last time? If Teacher Yuan knows again that we didn't listen to him and ran around..."
Mitsuhiko looked solemn.
Yuantai recalled the bullet that struck his ear, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"Okay..." His desire for adventure was instantly extinguished.
…
Walking into the cramped space, Dr. Ari and Ai Haihara began to hear subtle breathing sounds nearby.
"Is it Conan?" Dr. Ali stopped and carefully identified the source of the breathing sound.
"Uh! Uh! Uh!" As soon as he heard his voice, a fierce struggle suddenly sounded from behind the wall.
The three of them walked quickly to the source of the sound, and immediately saw Conan who was tied up and unable to speak with something stuffed in his mouth.
Dr. Ali quickly stepped forward and helped him loosen his bonds.
Conan finally regained his freedom, pulled off the cloth in his mouth, and coughed several times with a distorted face.
"Ahem! Ahem! Doctor! Teacher Yuan! Haiyuan! You have finally found this place!"
Conan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When several people found his whereabouts, it meant that what the mastermind behind the scenes had done had been exposed. Together with the skeleton in the secret passage and his numerous crimes, those outside had been exposed.
discovered.
Although he was knocked unconscious by the attacker from behind, but he had some muscle memory due to his previous experience in this area, so he quickly woke up and found that he had been beaten by the man behind the scenes.
The Black Hand is locked up in this place.
It's just that he wasn't worried about his own safety at all. He didn't think the person who locked him up was a kind person, and he didn't count on Dr. Ali and those children.
There is only one source of his confidence, and that is that Yuanhuaiyu is in this castle.
As someone who has experienced so many events with Yuan Huaiyu, Conan has a clear understanding of Yuan Huaiyu's abilities.
He knew that since there was no news about him, Mr. Yuan would definitely be able to discover something was wrong in the castle and rescue him.
Now that he no longer had any worries, he began to think about possible gangster candidates and the mystery of the chess game.
Although the dark environment is scary and profound, it also makes people calm down and think.
When the three found him, he already had a series of "reasonable and well-founded" reasoning in his mind.
"Mr. Yuan, do you know who the guy in question is?" He looked at Yuan Huaiyu and asked.
"Oh? You mean that madam?"
"Yes, it's her. I found a skeleton in this secret passage before, and there was a sentence written on the side of the skeleton."
Conan repeated the words carved on the steps: "That guy pretended to be me and wanted to seize the castle's treasure..."
He talked about his reasoning: "When I saw this sentence, I quickly remembered that the lady was said to have never left the castle, but she knew about the change of passports from the outside world."
"That happened six years ago. This is the ironclad proof that the madam wanted to go abroad for surgery to maintain her appearance!"
Yuan Huaiyu smiled: "Is it irrefutable evidence? Not necessarily...couldn't it be someone else in the castle who told her? Besides, as long as you pay a little attention to the newspapers, shouldn't you be able to get such information?"
"Uh...this..." Conan was speechless for a moment.
"Let's not talk about this first. I guess you already have a clue about the chess puzzle in the courtyard?"
Conan, who had just been mercilessly attacked by Yuan Huaiyu on his reasoning, cheered up when he heard these words: "That's right! I already know where the treasure is!"
After some reasoning, Conan pinched his chin and looked doubtful: The biggest problem now is that that person must be much more familiar with this secret passage than they are. If she is determined to escape from the secret passage, the police are really not sure.
She can be caught easily.
As if seeing Conan's worry, Yuan Huaiyu patted his thin shoulder: "Don't worry, she will bring it to your door by herself."
…
"Damn it! Damn it! How on earth did that guy know that!"
"Masushiro Mamiya" was hopping angrily in the secret passage.
She could not understand why she had been disguised for more than ten years, and no one who had been with her day and night in the castle had discovered her true identity. How could she be exposed by a person who only met her this evening!
This is not scientific at all!!
Where did she show her weakness?
"Mamiya Masuyo" knew in her heart that no matter where the other party found out her secret, she would no longer be able to stay in this castle.
But she was reluctant to let go of the treasure that she had worked so hard for so long and was about to see the light of day.
In such an embarrassing situation, it seemed that there was only one way for her to go.
That is to use the little boy who was imprisoned before as a threat to find out the location of the treasure, and then use his familiarity with the secret passage to escape with the treasure!
It sounds a bit too idealistic, but this is the only possible way for her to do it without giving up the treasure.
After she made up her mind, she immediately walked towards the little boy's location.
She has walked through this secret passage countless times over the years. Even without the use of lights, she can walk as if she were in her own home without any problems at all.
After walking several stairs and turning several corners, she quickly arrived at the door of the small room.
"Hehehe... little guy, don't blame me..."
She had made up her mind to use the little boy as a hostage and after escaping, she would throw him in the forest and leave him to fend for himself.
"Mamiya Masuyo" stretched out his hand to open the shaky old door and walked in.
In the dark space, she was completely unaware that there was someone hiding behind this door.
"Boom!"
There was a muffled sound, and Yuan Huaiyu, who was behind the door, took a rusty iron rod and hit the fake old woman on the back of the head with five minutes of force.
Seeing "Masushiro Mamiya" lying on the ground twitching, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Such an inhumane scum, just knocking her unconscious is really an advantage.
