Si Xuanyu and Shan Haijing nodded with satisfaction. It should be said that naughty kids like Kojima Genta are perfect for dealing with hypocritical adults.

The sincerity on Mamiya Mitsuru's face almost couldn't be maintained. After being blocked several times like this, Mamiya Mitsuru was in a hurry and began to play the victim: "Alas, my father-in-law's last words, my wife was unable to solve it until her death. This is my wife's lifelong regret, and it is also the obsession of my son and me.

Of course, it would be a lie to say that I have no selfish motives at all and don’t want the legendary precious thing at all, but I just want to fulfill my wife’s wish before she died.

It's just that we are all too stupid and have not been able to solve the mystery. Now that a scientist like you happens to come, it can be regarded as God's will. I hope you can help us."

Dr. Agasa was a good man, and he couldn't stand this kind of rhetoric. In addition, Mamiya Mitsuru also revealed that his wife had passed away, which aroused Dr. Agasa's sympathy. He immediately agreed: "Okay, okay, I'll try."

After he said that, he remembered that there were many people traveling with him, so he turned around and said to them with a smile: "Hey, well, why don't we give it a try? Solving the puzzle can also be considered helping others!"

The three real children have long wanted to go into the castle to take a look, but they had to leave because of Professor Agasa. Now that Dr. Agasa has agreed, they of course have no objection and have nodded repeatedly with shining eyes.

With Conan traps like "Mystery", Edogawa Conan will not object.

Si Xuanyu shrugged: "He was scolding you. If you are willing, Dr. Agasa, I will not object."

Weird.

Si Xuanyu just felt that there was no need to compete with the world consciousness for such a small side plot.

Si Xuanyu said he had no objection, so of course Shan Hai Jing, Wu Meiying, Huihara Ai and Sawada Hiroki would not have any objection either.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Dr. Agasa said to Mamiya Mitsuru: "Excuse me, let's go in and tell us in detail what the mystery is."

Mamiya Mitsuru immediately smiled happily. His intuition told him that as long as these people entered the castle, all the mysteries would be solved!

"Well, Mr. Agasa, please come in quickly, and everyone else please come in and take a look around. Katsuo, I'll go and arrange for accommodation for dinner, and you can show the guests around."

Katsuo Tabata nodded in agreement, Mitsuru Mamiya said see you later to Dr. Agasa, and left quickly.

Katsuo Tabata had just been scolded, so she didn't dare to say anything rude anymore and led everyone on the tour quietly.

As you enter the courtyard, the first thing you see is a statue of a chess piece.

Yoshida Ayumi rushed over with bright eyes: "Wow! There's Maya here!"

Kojima Genta also ran over: "There's a black one over here!"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was a little curious: "But why is it only up to the neck?"

Huihara Ai explained: "Those horses symbolize knights and are chess pieces."

"Chess pieces?"

Edogawa Conan also came over and added somewhat speechlessly: "It's not just the chess pieces. Look down, the grass here is also laid out like a chessboard."

Seeing this, Dr. Agasa curiously asked Katsuo Tabata: "Is there anyone here who really likes chess?"

Katsuo Tabata shook his head. "I'm not sure about that, but I just followed the instructions given by the young lady. I trimmed the trees a little bit every day to preserve the appearance of this place. I heard that this was one of the last words of the old master who passed away 15 years ago, and the young lady has never disobeyed it."

Dr. Agasa nodded to show his understanding: "I see. By the way, I don't know what to call the person who just invited us in."

Katsuo Tabata told Dr. Agasa the information about the host family without hesitation: "The one who invited you in at the door just now was Uncle Aman. He is our young lady's second husband. The first husband was Uncle Zhen Zhao, but he died of illness six years ago. Our young lady also died in a fire four years ago."

"What fire?"

Katsuo Tabata turned around and pointed to a tall tower: "Look, there, there is a burnt stone tower. That place is the young lady's former bedroom. That year, the young lady returned to this castle after a long absence to celebrate the old lady's birthday.

She arrived here in the middle of the night, but the flames shot up before daybreak.

Not only the young lady, but also her friends who she brought back with her, as well as a dozen people including the butler and servants who had been employed by the old lady for many years, were swallowed up in the fire.

The only ones who escaped that disaster were servants like me who had been hired not long ago, the old lady who had a cold and slept in another bedroom, Master Aman who had arrived here a little earlier than the young lady, and the one over there, the young lady and Master Zhenzhao's only son, the young master Guiren.

He came here two or three days before the fire, but I heard that he was sent abroad to study since he was a child. That was the first time I saw him.

That was also the first time I met Uncle Aman. Ever since our young lady married her second husband abroad, she has been living in that country with Uncle Aman. I don’t know why, but the two of them have been staying here since the fire. It’s probably like Uncle Aman said, to solve the mystery of the castle.”

Katsuo Tabata revealed information to the protagonists while leading them through the courtyard to the entrance of the main castle building.

Conan Edogawa heard every message perfectly, frowning and wondering what he was thinking.

Shan Hai Jing flew to the middle of the children and whispered, "This is too much like a murder to silence the witnesses. All the people who were familiar with the main family of this castle were killed in one go."

As a qualified riddle teller, Edogawa Conan will not express his doubts until the last moment.

Haibara Ai and Sawada Hiroki nodded in agreement with the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

"In that case, the fire might have been man-made."

"Then the surviving old lady, and the two second wives and only son who suddenly appeared and never left are very suspicious."

Kojima Genta wanted to shout immediately, but Yoshida Ayumi and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko covered his mouth with their hands: "There is no conclusion yet, let's investigate it first, Genta, don't expose yourself!"

Kojima Genta nodded.

Dr. Agasa in front of him probably had some doubts too. He asked tentatively, "Then when Master Aman and Master Guiren first came here, they must have experienced some setbacks. After all, no one here has seen what they look like, and no one knows these two people."
