Conan: No, why aren't you following the script?

Late at night, feeling the rising and falling breaths around him, Kitagawa Isao quietly opened his eyes.

He was lying right between Ai Haibara and Conan Edogawa, having been dozing off for over an hour with his eyes closed.

Now, it's time for him to take action!

After confirming that everyone around him was indeed fast asleep, Kitagawa Isao slowly climbed out of his sleeping bag, went to his backpack, and picked out a black coat to put on.

This was a pretty nice piece of clothing that he saw on the roadside a few days ago. Although it startled Ai Haibara, who was cooking alone at home, when he first bought it, she no longer had any stress reactions after getting used to it.

So Kitagawa Isao took it out, intending to use it as a change of clothes.

Unexpectedly, it came in such a useful way today...

He found it somewhat amusing, but time was of the essence, so Kitagawa Isao didn't think about it any further.

He put on his coat, gradually blending into the dark night, and began to walk quickly into the woods.

About ten minutes later, Kitagawa Isao, who had been speeding all the way, had run into the woods.

After glancing at the familiar surroundings, he quickly ran to the location where he had just seen the dark figure. After some investigation, a smile gradually appeared on Kitagawa Isao's face.

Sure enough, he guessed right...

Looking down into the pitch-black secret passage, Kitagawa Isao skillfully pulled a flashlight from his pocket, turned it on, and threw it into the passage.

The light eventually stopped a little over three meters away from him. He made a rough estimate, then flipped over and landed smoothly.

This is a secret passage that looks very ancient, with walls made of bricks and a floor paved with cement.

Kitagawa Isao bent down to pick up the flashlight and walked straight into the depths of the secret passage.

This secret passage leads to the Blue Castle. The First Lady had used the secret passage to travel between the castle and the forest many times, so Kitagawa Isao guessed that the secret passage should not be very long.

And the facts seem to confirm this.

……

It took Kitagawa Isao about ten minutes to finally reach the end of the secret passage.

Above them, a ladder hanging on the wall connected to the exit of the secret passage.

After climbing down the ladder, he roughly observed the surrounding environment. When he smelled a rotten odor, he could roughly confirm it.

Right now, I should be in the annex of the Blue Castle.

It's truly unexpected that this secret passage, which helped the First Madam commit numerous murders and relocate, has now become the best route for me to infiltrate the castle.

If Masahiro Mamiya found out about this, wouldn't that maid who was disguised as an old woman be driven mad with anger?

Thinking of this, Kitagawa Isao couldn't help but chuckle. Then, using his clothes as cover, he began to move slowly along the wall.

The dark coat served as camouflage. Kitagawa Isao held his breath, carefully lowered his steps, and began to explore the annex.

Just then, a rustling sound suddenly reached his ears.

Upon hearing this sound, Kitagawa Isao quickly hid halfway.

Not far in front of him, a dark figure seemed to be dragging something and was moving quickly toward him.

Kitagawa Isao observed carefully and realized that the dark figure was the same lady he had just thought of—the maid disguised as Mamiya Masuyo, and the one she was dragging was clearly Mamiya Noble, a university student and the direct heir of the Mamiya family.

It seems that because she changed the course of the story, Professor Agasa and the others didn't suddenly visit the blue castle, which is why Noriyuki Mamiya, who had been secretly investigating the truth about the castle, became the First Lady's target.

However, if we follow this line of thought, does that mean that in the original storyline, Professor Agasa and Conan were actually protecting Takato Mamiya from disaster?

Now, all I've done is let the story develop in the direction it was supposed to go?

For a moment, Kitagawa Isao felt a slight itch in his head.

Meanwhile, the First Lady, along with Lady Mamiya, was getting closer and closer to him.

"Hehe, my benefactor, if only you hadn't investigated that arson case back then. You could have continued being a dutiful son and grandson, and after I found the treasure, I might have taken pity on you and left you a few measly coins. Unlike now... tsk tsk tsk, you've risked your life for those unfortunate dead. Why did you do this?"

In the corridor, the First Lady, who was struggling to drag Lady Mamiya along, wiped the sweat from her forehead, but her face showed madness.

Just over half an hour ago, she intended to investigate the mystery of the castle through the secret passage as usual, but unexpectedly bumped into Noble Lady Mamiya in the secret passage of the annex.

This sudden turn of events left the First Madam with almost no time to think; she immediately grabbed a stick and struck Lady Mamiya.

Noble Lady Mamiya wasn't stupid. When she saw her grandmother, who had been sitting in a wheelchair and acting crazy during the day, suddenly charging towards her aggressively, Noble Lady Mamiya immediately realized what was happening and began to flee frantically through the secret passage.

The two chased each other through the secret passage, but in the end, the unfamiliar Mamiya Nobleman suffered a loss. Just as he was about to hide in the toilet to rest for a while, he was caught by the First Lady who emerged from the secret passage.

That's how we ended up in this situation...

Looking at her 'good grandson', whose head was covered in blood and who was barely breathing, the First Madam chuckled twice and dragged him towards the secret passage again.

Killing someone in a castle is a very dangerous thing.

If any traces are left behind, it would be bad if the police followed the clues and found out.

The villa has already burned down once, and no one lives there now. If another fire were to break out here, even a fool would know that something is amiss.

It's obvious that the First Madam is not a fool.

So she planned to drag Lady Mamiya into the secret passage and imprison her until she starved to death. Then, like the unfortunate servant before her, she would drag her into the woods and pretend that she had gotten lost and died.

There was a campsite next to the woods. Originally, according to Mamiya Masayo's idea, she wanted to throw Mamiya Norito directly into the woods and let him be drenched to death by the heavy rain that was about to start outside.

but……

For some reason, after hearing what Mamiya Nobleman shouted while struggling, she realized that there were actually several tourists in that supposedly deserted campsite.

This truly left the First Madam speechless.

These days, are people who go camping less professional than her, a maid who pretends to be an old woman and has been forced to sit in a wheelchair and stay at home for four years?

Who goes camping and picnicking without even checking the most basic weather forecast?

This is absolutely outrageous...

After silently cursing the tourists in her heart and saying that she would definitely give the leader of the tourists a good beating with a wooden stick if she had the chance, the First Madam, who had already rested, finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to continue her work for the evening.

However, what the First Madam did not expect was...

Just as she was dragging Noble Lady Mamiya past a corner of a corridor.

A voice suddenly rang out from the dark corner.

"Hello, Madam..."

"Ghost!!"
