Chapter 256 What will be the treasure of the philosopher?
"Brother Jiang Yuan, Conan is missing! He was still here just now!" Before Haibara Ai could explain the situation, Yoshida Ayumi said anxiously, her voice trembling, pulling Jiang Yuan's clothes.
Originally, the three children thought that Conan just secretly went to investigate the incident on his own, but after so long, they had some bad premonitions in their hearts.
The adventures of the Young Detective Team rarely go without incident, and now Conan's disappearance has given them a bad premonition.
"What happened to that?" Just when Haibara Ai was about to tell Jiang Yuan what he had discovered, Mamiya Takato suddenly appeared next to them, looking at the overturned chairs in the room and the chairs Conan used to rest his feet scattered on the floor.
Books frowned.
The naughty kid who made trouble everywhere was really not welcome. Jiang Yuan let him pass the door of the room. Mamiya Takato nodded friendly to Jiang Yuan, then walked in, straightened the chair and took away the books scattered on the floor.
"That's right. When I came over, the children told me that one of their little boys suddenly disappeared." After Mamiya Takato tidied up the room, Ehara told him about Conan's disappearance.
"Eh? That kid with glasses?" Mamiya Takato asked after looking at the remaining kids. He still had some impression of Conan who looked like a little adult.
When he looked up from the lawn just now, he could see Conan writing something seriously on the windowsill with a pen...
"Maybe I'm going to the bathroom downstairs?" Later, the gardener and Dr. Ali walked to a group of people. After hearing this, the gardener smiled and said:
"Because few people come to the rooms here, there is only a bathroom on the first floor. The child might still be in the bathroom now."
Then the gardener led a large group of people from the second floor to the first floor. When he opened the bathroom door, he found that there was no one inside, and there was no Conan in the bathroom.
At this time, the butler of the castle came to inform everyone that dinner was ready and they could go have dinner. Lord Mamiya said that Conan was probably hiding somewhere in the castle to prepare a prank.
He will come out on his own after a while when he is hungry.
The big-hearted Dr. Ari didn't think there was anything wrong. The confused three little ones were also attracted by the dinner. Haibara Ai, the only one who was aware of Conan's current situation, had no chance to tell Jiang Yuan his reasoning.
In this way, everyone came to the restaurant of the castle. Their eyes lit up when they saw the long table full of sumptuous food. After taking their seats, Jiang Yuan even bluntly told the maid to give him a few more pieces of steak.
"This castle has never been so lively in a long time..." Mamiya Takato said with emotion as he looked at the three little ones enjoying their meal.
"But it's nice to be lively like this once in a while, isn't it?" Mamiya Mitsuru said with a rosy face after taking a sip of red wine. It seemed that his drinking capacity was probably as good as Mouri Kogoro's.
"Yeah, since mom died in the fire, we haven't had any guests here."
Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes while eating the steak. At that time, most of the guests who came to celebrate the birthday of the Dowager were in the tower that caught fire.
Most of the guests who came were people related to the Mamiya family. After the fake Mamiya Masuyo set fire to it, the guests, the owner, the housekeeper, the maid, etc. were all wiped out.
How can any other guests dare to come to the front door of Mamiya's house?
"Well, I heard that you two seem to have been living in this castle since the fire?" Dr. Ali asked curiously.
Mamiya Takato nodded: "Yes, my original plan was to return to the castle after graduating from college. After the fire, I simply stayed here."
"Originally I just planned to stay here for a while, but the longer I stayed, I gradually became fascinated by this building where my deceased wife grew up..."
Jiang Yuan, who was eating his fourth piece of steak, rolled his eyes. Although the father and son were not biological father and son, they had the same ability to make excuses.
Why can't I just be frank and say that I covet the treasure left by the great master...
"Haha, what you all said is so nice. You are not coveting the treasures left by the old man when he was alive. Otherwise, why would you live in this remote mountain where no one lives for a long time."
Ehara's unspoken complaints were spoken out unceremoniously by the later Mamiya Masuyo. This fake old man pushed his wheelchair to the restaurant and became annoyed when he saw Mamiya Mitsuru and Mamiya Takato:
"Send my dinner to the room in a moment. I want to wait for my daughter in the room. When she comes, I will call her over!"
"I must let my daughter know your true face!" Masuyo Mamiya explained angrily and then controlled his wheelchair to leave.
When the wheelchair first arrived at the door, Jiang Yuan, who had been obsessed with eating steak, suddenly said: "Mr. Mamiya, what if the treasure left by the grand master of your house is not treasure?"
"Eh?! Mr. Jiang Yuan has already solved the mystery left by my father!" Hearing Jiang Yuan's sudden inquiry, Mamiya Mitsuru, who was about to pick up his wine glass and drink, immediately put down his wine glass and looked at Jiang Yuan with bright eyes.
Mamiya Mitsuru's stepson, Takato Mamiya, also put down his knife and fork and looked at Jiang Yuan with burning eyes. He felt deeply that he was worthy of being a celebrity in Tokyo, and he solved the mystery that they had not solved for many years so quickly.
Masashiro Mamiya, who was about to leave, suddenly slowed down his steps back to his room (in a wheelchair) at the door of the restaurant, his ears pricked up for fear of missing any of Ehara's words.
It's just that the three generations of the Mamiya family have selectively ignored Jiang Yuan's question. In their opinion, the master who can build such a beautiful castle and spend so much time designing the puzzle will definitely leave behind valuable gold and silver.
Treasure is the right thing.
Seeing that everyone at the table was paying attention to him, Jiang Yuan wiped his mouth and sat upright, looking funny at Masashiro Mamiya, who was moving very quickly towards the outside of the restaurant.
Following Jiang Yuan's line of sight, everyone at the dinner table turned their attention to the old lady who had different opinions. For a moment, Masashiro Miya felt like a light was on his back.
Through the reflection of the mirror at the door of the restaurant, Masuyo Mamiya found that he had become the target of everyone's attention, so he slowly turned his wheelchair around and looked at Jiang Yuan calmly.
Masashiro Mamiya had a kind face: "It seems that Brother Ehara has solved the mystery left by my old man? Then I must let the old woman listen carefully..."
Then she controlled her wheelchair and returned to the seat that originally belonged to her.
The way Good Guy resolves embarrassing situations in this song makes Jiang Yuan’s scalp numb. It turns out that the Mamiya family, whether real or fake, is a bit of a social critic...
"Well, it seems that everyone is very interested in the treasure left by the great master, so let me first tell you what I learned."
"As far as I know, your grand master is a very thoughtful scholar, and his research is in philosophy, right..."
"Yes, my deceased wife always complained about the master before her death, saying that he was always full of lies..." Mamiya Mitsuru nodded without any concern for Mamiya Masashiro on the side.
The thoughtful Ayumi Yoshida looked worriedly at Masuyo Mamiya in the wheelchair, but Masuo Mamiya in the wheelchair did not react at all. Instead, he looked at Ehara with some fanaticism.
Her long-cherished wish may come true today!
What's going on with this old lady... She still looked full of energy at noon, and she didn't feel like a sickly elderly person.
But after entering the restaurant just now, I can clearly feel that the old lady's energy is not as good as at noon... It feels like she is really an old lady?
Now I feel inexplicably energetic... Yoshida Ayumi looked at Masuyo Mamiya in the wheelchair in confusion and felt that her brain was a little insufficient.
Jiang Yuan nodded after hearing Mamiya Mitsuru's words and said: "Then what do you think the treasure left behind as a philosopher will be?"
"Gold? Jewels? Or countless banknotes?" Jiang Yuan tapped his index finger on the table and looked at the Mamiya family every time he proposed an option.
After all three options were mentioned, the three members of the Mamiya family were able to look at them once.
