Conan's All-Member Force Enhancement Plan

Tabata Katsuo pushed open the door and denied Dr. Agasa's guess: "That's not the case. The young lady sent back photos of her remarriage a long time ago, so everyone knows what Aman-kun looks like. As for the young master of the noble family, please see, he looks exactly like the deceased master."

Dr. Agasa and the others looked up and saw a portrait hanging at the corner of the stairs facing the gate. The person in the painting was indeed very similar to the noble young master they had just seen in the courtyard.

Dr. Agasa followed up with a sentence: "Oh, it's true! Anyone can see the blood relationship between them. Who are the portraits on both sides of the stairs?"

Tabata Katsuo replied, "That's the young lady and uncle Sadaki. Since being taken in as a son-in-law, uncle Sadaki has shown great respect for the master who is also a historian like himself."

"My daughter often says that her father is just an intellectual with a lot of twisted ideas, right?"

An old voice came from behind Dr. Agasa and Katsuo Tabata. Katsuo Tabata was a little panicked: "Old lady!"

Dr. Agasa turned around and saw an old woman sitting in a wheelchair, with white hair and age spots all over her face.

Edogawa Conan next to her was frantically pulling Si Xuanyu to stop her from staring at the old man's legs.

Hey! Are you kidding me? Ever since he heard the sound of the wheelchair, Si Xuanyu turned around and kept looking at the legs of the person in the wheelchair.

This is so rude! What on earth is Si Xuanyu doing?

Si Xuanyu pulled his trouser leg out of Edogawa Conan's hand: "Stop pulling, it will fall off if you pull it again. I'm just curious, why does this old lady have to sit in a wheelchair when her legs are healthy?"

The person in the wheelchair's pupils trembled and his body tensed up for a moment, but then immediately returned to normal.

Katsuo Tabata frowned and said, "Hey! What are you talking about? How rude! Of course our old lady has to use a wheelchair because she can't walk."

Si Xuanyu didn't even look at Tabata Katsuo.

When Edogawa Conan heard what Si Xuanyu said, he realized that things were not simple. He knew very well that Si Xuanyu was not the kind of person who spoke without thinking, especially not someone who would slander a disabled elderly woman.

Moreover, Conan Edogawa knows Si Xuanyu's abilities very well, and she is definitely capable of judging whether a person has the ability to walk.

The point is, he didn’t miss the old lady’s panicked reaction at that moment.

But Tabata Katsuo couldn't believe Si Xuanyu's casual words: "Humph, I think Master Aman won't invite you in. Old Madam, I'm so sorry, not only for reminding you of those past events, but also for letting these people speak rudely in front of you."

After a moment of panic, the old lady calmed down. She gently comforted Katsuo Tabata, "It's okay. I've long been accustomed to the days without him here. It's just like the changes in the patterns on banknotes and the size of passports. I wasn't used to it at first, but after a while, I didn't think it was strange.

Time is indeed a terrible thing. As time goes by, all joy, anger, sorrow and happiness will disappear with time. As for these guests, they are probably just concerned about our health and are not very talkative. I won't mind it. By the way, where are these guests from?"

Katsuo Tabata was impressed by the old lady's generosity and magnanimity while secretly glaring at Si Xuanyu: "These people are, they are the master's friends. This one is a scientist. The master invited them to help solve the mystery of the castle."

The old lady's eyes changed slightly when she heard this, with a hint of madness and expectation: "Really? The mystery of the castle? That's great. I guess you are all very smart. If that's the case, I think you can also let me see what he left in this castle."

After saying these words, the old lady grabbed the wheelchair's joystick with her hands and murmured to herself: "Where's my daughter? Isn't she going to come back today? She said she would come back to celebrate my birthday."

While she was still talking, the old lady controlled her wheelchair and left.

Tabata Katsuo's face changed: "But, old lady..."

The old lady's tone suddenly became high-pitched: "When my daughter comes back, ask her to come to my room to see me immediately, so that I can see my daughter soon! Daughter!"

There was no need to ask, Katsuo Tabata had already started explaining: "The old lady has been like this since the fire."

Dr. Agasa put his hands behind his back and said, "I think the shock she suffered must have been too great."

Edogawa Conan looked at the old lady's back as she left, pondered for a moment, then turned to ask Tabata Katsuo: "Uncle, is there a room here where I can clearly see the chess pieces in the yard?"

Katsuo Tabata thought for a moment and took them upstairs to a room.

Several children immediately leaned over the window excitedly and looked down. Edogawa Conan took a notebook and drew the arrangement of the chess pieces.

Yoshida Ayumi exclaimed: "Wow! They are all arranged so beautifully!"

Kojima Genta was looking for a viewpoint between Yoshida Ayumi and Edogawa Conan that could see outside, but to no avail. Then he heard Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya's voice coming from the window next to him: "Wow! I can see from this room, too!"

Genta Kojima immediately changed his position and planned to join Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya.

The others weren't very interested in this, so they didn't come forward.

Haibara Ai has once again clashed with Sawada Hiroki over the custody of the Shanhaijing. In the past, Si Xuanyu and Wu Meiying did not participate in their fight, but now Dr. Agasa is here.

Dr. Agasa immediately went to break up the fight, but the more he tried to persuade them, the more fierce the fight became. Dr. Agasa couldn't help but ask Si Xuanyu for help, but Si Xuanyu pulled him back and said that adults should not interfere in children's affairs.

Edogawa Conan has copied the chess game in the courtyard into a notebook, and is scratching his head with a pencil, thinking: "Could there be any meaning to the arrangement of these chess pieces?"

Dr. Agasa was pulled back by Si Xuanyu, but he couldn't help wanting to stop the fight, so he simply turned a blind eye and moved closer to Edogawa Conan: "Hey, isn't this the code you are best at?"

Edogawa Conan was still worried when he heard Yoshida Ayumi yelling, "What are you two doing? You're going to fall!"

I don't know what happened to Kojima Genta, who was sitting at the window next to him, and he ended up outside the window. Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was holding on to Kojima Genta tightly to prevent him from falling.

Conan Edogawa and Dr. Agasa immediately ran to the next room: "What are you doing?"

Fortunately, Genta Kojima was strong enough and climbed back onto the window frame by himself.

While panting with exhaustion, he was thankful: "I almost fell down."

Then the next second, he fell through the window frame into the room with a thud.

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya wiped his sweat and said, "It fell down again."
