After emerging from the secret passage, Asakawa Yu led Miyano Akemi to the portrait of the patriarch.

Based on his memories of his past life and the orientation of the chess pieces placed in the courtyard, he could deduce the answer to the riddle—egg head!

In other words, the intellectuals who spout fallacies and fallacies are the counterparts to the lord of this castle himself.

Slowly move the portrait on the wall to the right, and in an instant, a hidden passage appears from behind the portrait!

"I never imagined there was such a secret passage in this castle!" Miyano Akemi exclaimed upon seeing the passage hidden behind the portrait.

"Not only that, you'll be truly surprised when the real treasure is revealed to you later."

After saying that, Asakawa Yu was the first to climb up the secret passage.

Seeing that her boss had already gone up, Miyano Akemi immediately followed.

Finally, after climbing for a while, the two reached the top of a room. At the far end of the room, a small window stood out, making anyone who saw it think that the treasure was hidden inside.

"Come on, let me show you what this so-called treasure is that makes so many people drool over it!"

After saying that, Asakawa Yu walked to the small window and slowly opened the 'treasure' that had contained the 'desire' of this castle for more than ten years!

Cough cough cough!!!

As Asakawa Yu gradually tightened her grip, the secret of this castle, which had been hidden for many years, was finally revealed!

There was no treasure there! Nor were there any amazing or astonishing artifacts!

All that's left is a breathtaking view!

From the highest point, one can overlook the entire castle and enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery.

Just then, the sun rose, and the sky was slowly dyed with a golden color, as if a bottle of golden ink had been gently spilled.

The gentle sunlight shines on the lake, filling nature with life and vitality!

"...So this is what they call the most precious treasure? It's so beautiful..." Miyano Akemi, standing next to Asakawa Yu, exclaimed from the bottom of her heart as she looked at the scenery before her.

"Hmm? Aren't you disappointed? The treasure is just some scenery and stuff..."

"No way! Boss, don't you think it's great? We're like the rising sun. We don't know who we'll meet or what difficulties we'll encounter each day, but that's precisely why each day is so precious, isn't it?"

"I think the lord of this castle probably also hoped that the people of this castle could be like this castle, standing firm and overlooking this beautiful scenery, no matter what..."

Pfft!

"Hahaha, is that so? It seems only someone as naive as you would think that way..."

Asakawa Yu's laughter echoed in the room, making Miyano Akemi blush slightly.

"I... I was just expressing my own feelings, there's no need to laugh like that!" Then, as if in a fit of pique, she turned her face to the side.

But soon, Miyano Akemi was infected by Asakawa Yu's laughter and couldn't help but start laughing as well.

Just as the two were enjoying this happy time, a series of hurried footsteps interrupted them!

"My treasure! The treasure I've been searching for all these years, I will never give it to anyone!"

Looking back, it turned out that Conan and his friends had found the whole truth and told the old lady about the location of the treasure.

As soon as she climbed up, the First Madam saw Asakawa Yu and Miyano Akemi standing in front of the entrance to the treasure she had been longing for. She immediately assumed that the two of them were there to steal her treasure, so she angrily shouted, "No one can take my treasure away!"

Just as she was about to rush up and try to drive Asakawa Yu and the others away, she was surprised to find that Asakawa Yu and the others had given up the location of the treasure.

“We’re not interested in that so-called treasure, so please make yourself at home.” He said, gesturing for them to proceed.

Seeing that Asakawa Yu and the others seemed genuinely uninterested in the treasure, the First Madam could no longer resist and rushed up to open the so-called 'treasure'!

Then, Conan, who was following closely behind, saw Asakawa Hayao and Miyano Akemi, and his brain instantly went into standby mode!

"Asakawa-nii, did you already find this so-called treasure?"

Conan was starting to lose his composure. He thought he would finally be able to find the culprit and the treasure before Asakawa Yu, but it turned out that the other party seemed to have already discovered it and was waiting for him here!

Asakawa Yu had no idea what Conan was thinking, but he knew the kid was overthinking things again! Oh well, whatever he thought was fine. He didn't have to bother explaining, and it would only reinforce his unfathomable image in Conan's mind. Why not?

"Well...who knows." After saying something that left Conan completely baffled, Asakawa Yu led Miyano Akemi away, leaving Conan standing there bewildered, while the First Madam wailed alone...

Wow! I thought Mitsuhiko would be the MVP this time, but it turns out it's still my Yu-ge!

[What a joke! How could you juniors possibly fathom the intelligence of Emperor Asakawa?]

[But this treasure is actually quite nice, isn't it? Didn't it say on it that the castle would also be given to her? Isn't that enough...?]

"You did a pretty good job this time." After coming downstairs, Asakawa Yu came to Ai Haibara's side and praised her.

Ai Haibara deftly dodged his mischievous hand and said calmly, "This time, we really owe it to those kids."

Although she still had that expressionless face, Asakawa Yu could still see a 'seeking praise' look in her expression, which made Asakawa Yu sigh and think that even the cold queen had this side.

"You all did a great job this time! How about I make you all some dessert as a reward when we get back?"

Unlike Asakawa Yu's indifference, Miyano Akemi came to their side with a smile and praised them for what they had done. This immediately amused the three of them, who raised their faces and struck their classic poses.

"Of course! We're the Junior Detective Club!"

"Heh... If this continues, even if I had several lives, it wouldn't be enough..." Conan muttered to himself after hearing what they said.

"Great, things are finally over. Let's all pack up and head home."

Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, Dr. Agasa made a suggestion.

"Okay!" the Junior Detectives said in unison.

The remaining Asakawa Yu and the others smiled, said nothing more, and began packing their things...

After receiving the report, the police quickly arrived and arrested the first wife on charges of intentional homicide and other crimes, and the matter finally came to an end...
