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

Katsuo Tabata shook his head. "I don't know. I just followed the instructions of the previous master, Mr. Sadaki. I made repairs every day and kept it that way. I heard that it was the last wish of the old master fifteen years ago. Mr. Sadaki has been inheriting it ever since."

Dr. Agasa became even more curious: "You mentioned before... who was that person just now?"

Katsuo Tabata explained, "Ah! It's the wife's second husband, Mr. Mamiya Mitsuru. Because Mr. Masaaki died of illness six years ago. And the wife also died in a fire four years ago."

Dr. Agasa was shocked: "A big fire?"

Katsuo Tabata pointed to a tall tower in the distance and said, "Look, that's it. There are traces of a big fire there. That's the lady's bedroom. The fire broke out shortly after the lady returned here to celebrate the old lady's birthday. It started in the middle of the night before dawn. Not only the lady, but also the friends she brought back and the attendants who served the old lady all year round, more than a dozen people were burned to death.

[Audience member Huihara Ai, do you feel a sense of sadness? I always feel like this is a place haunted by ghosts.

Ayumi, Ai, if you had told us earlier we wouldn’t have gone in.

Mitsuhiko, what happened later was all scary.

Yuan Tai scratched his head and asked, "Do you want to sleep in the car?"

Only I, the gardener, and the old lady who was resting because of a cold, Mr. Man who arrived earlier than the old lady, and Mr. Guiren, the only son born to Mr. Zhenzhao and his wife.

He had only returned two or three days before the fire. I heard that he had lived abroad since he was a child, and that was when he first came back to meet Mr. Man. After his wife remarried in a foreign country, she and Mr. Man had been living abroad. I don’t know why, but after the fire, Mr. Man had been living here, as if he was staying here for something.”

Dr. Agasa sighed: "But it must be very difficult for the three of them to come in here. Because no one knows them." He imagined the strangeness and discomfort that Mamiya Mitsuru, the nobleman, and those followers felt when they first arrived at the castle.

Katsuo Tabata smiled and shook his head: "No, my wife sent back the photos of the rewedding ceremony. So everyone has seen what Mr. Mitsuru looks like." His words revealed a sense of intimacy and familiarity, as if Mamiya Mitsuru had already been a part of the castle.

"As for Mr. Noble," Tabata Katsuo paused, pushed open the door, and pointed to a large portrait hanging on the front wall leading to the upstairs, "Look."

The man in the photo has a handsome face and deep eyes.

Katsuo Tabata said: "He looks exactly like the deceased master."

Dr. Agasa stared at the photo and said with emotion: "Oh! If you look at it this way, anyone would think they are father and son." He turned to Tabata Katsuo and continued to ask: "What about the portraits on the sides?"

Katsuo Tabata answered respectfully, "That's Mr. Sadaki and his wife. Mr. Sadaki, who married into the family, was very respectful to the master who was a historian. Because of this, his wife and Mr. Sadaki often quarreled."

At this time, an old woman in a wheelchair slowly appeared and interrupted, "The master is just a man who talks a lot but doesn't take any practical action. Right?"

Katsuo Tabata bowed his head slightly and responded respectfully: "Old Madam..."

The old woman, Mamiya Masuyo, continued, "That man had heard these words before. But he was not angry, but happy."

Katsuo Tabata looked at Masuo Mamiya's slightly sad expression and apologized softly, "I'm sorry for reminding you of these sad things."

Mamiya Masuyo smiled and said, "Don't worry. Even if he is no longer in this castle, I've gotten used to it. It's just like the size of passports and banknotes has changed. You may have to get used to it at first, but after a while you'll take it for granted. Time is really scary, because happiness and sadness can be wiped out in an instant."

Katsuo Tabata nodded slightly in agreement. Then Mamiya Masuyo suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, who are these people?"

Katsuo Tabata explained: "Ah, it seems he is a scientist friend of the master."

A glimmer of excitement flashed in Mamiya Masuo's eyes: "Scientist? How exciting! I really hope you can solve the mystery that man left in this castle."

Dr. Agasa asked curiously: "Mystery?"

Katsuo Tabata nodded and said, "I heard that this was the last words left by the master before he died. Whoever solves the mystery of this castle will get his favorite treasure."

Masuo Mamiya suddenly remembered something. She looked up and asked Katsuo Tabata, "By the way, my daughter hasn't come yet? Didn't she say she would come back today? To celebrate my birthday."

Katsuo Tabata replied somewhat embarrassedly: "No, old lady..."

Mamiya Masuyo interrupted him and said, "Tell her to come to my room as soon as she arrives. I'm really looking forward to it!" Then she turned her wheelchair and left

Katsuo Tabata sighed and said, “It has been like that since the fire.”

Dr. Agasa sighed softly and said, "I think he must be too sad."
