The man in Conan is the mastermind behind the scenes

[Killing Intention +4]

This is all the harvest before Yingsheng.

It can be expected that when the three Mamiya family members found that their hope of finding the treasure was shattered, and when they were dying, the person they hated most was not their murderer.

But Yingsheng.

The detective who dashed their hopes.

You shouldn't have come, you should never have come.

Among them, the old lady was probably the worst offender, as she directly provided him with two points of murderous intent. It was precisely because of this that Yingsheng pulled Tabata Katsura and told him not to go upstairs.

"What is going on? Mr. Shuiyue, can you explain it?"

An old policeman with a serious face asked Tabata Katsuo about the situation and then looked at Yingsheng.

"As you can see, they are killing each other for the treasure they don't have."

Yingsheng also went up to the attic at this time. He looked around and saw that there was nothing, so he walked towards the front window.

Outside, the dark clouds are gradually fading, and the belated sun is casting a faint golden glow on the world. The mountains in the distance are rolling, and the broad water under the mountains reflects the sun. A simple stone tower stands in front, connected to this ancient building by a corridor in the forest. fort.

The breeze blows and the air is fresh and pleasant.

What a great scenery.

Mamiya was lying against the wall, with dried blood on his lips. His eyes were fixed on the edge of the window sill, filled with disbelief and unblinking eyes.

Yingsheng followed his line of sight and saw several lines of small words engraved on the door panel disguised as a brick wall.

——I would like to give this castle and this scene to the first person to find it.

Oh, that old man really made an interesting joke for his family.

Unfortunately, some people were greedy for profit, and his unclear words eventually caused two tragedies.

Yingsheng sighed softly, told the police what happened before, and asked them to read that sentence.

The police and the public had mixed emotions after learning the truth of the matter.

Is it a tragedy brewed out of greed?

"Well, then this castle should belong to you, Mr. Shuiyue." The old policeman sighed.

"Eh?!!"

Everyone around was in an uproar. You're lying, right? Now you get an old castle? !

Even Yingsheng himself was stunned. This policeman was not very smart. He said this too casually.

Yingsheng shook his head and pointed to the line of small words.

"Mr. Police Officer, such a will has no legal effect at all. I don't want to ask for trouble. You should contact the relatives of the Mamiya family as soon as possible."

"Eh?!!!!"

This time everyone was even louder. This castle is definitely worth a fortune. Can you give up even this level of wealth without caring? !

There was a hint of admiration in the eyes of the old policeman: "Actually, I know Mr. Mamiya and I know that he did leave a relevant will and that it was fair and fair by the court."

"...Are you serious?"

"Absolutely true!"

"…………"

There was another burst of exclamations around him, and Yingsheng felt more and more speechless. He was sure that the culprit of these two tragedies was the old man.

If you don't speak up when something happens, and you still offend a young man, I'm afraid there's something seriously wrong with you.

"The first person I saw was not me, but Mamiya Mitsuru. There is no requirement in this sentence that it must be a living person, so he will inherit it." Seeing what the old policeman wanted to say, Yingsheng quickly raised his hand to fight. "Let me talk about the fire four years ago."

"What, is there another hidden story behind that matter?!" The old policeman was shocked.

"…………"

You look like an NPC.

Did Kudo encounter this kind of situation every day before? How did he resist the embarrassment?

"Someone deliberately set a fire, and the murderer is this old lady." Yingsheng nodded and pointed to a corpse on the ground, "She is not a real old lady. Looking at the skin on her arms, she is probably around forty years old this year. ”

Although Yingsheng had a misunderstanding before, the old lady stopped pretending and walked as fast as flying. If he couldn't see that she was actually a young man, the tricks on her face would be in vain.

The old policeman hurriedly went to verify and found that it was as Yingsheng said. He mentally recalled the situation when he came to investigate four years ago and immediately deduced the truth.

"She is Mutsumi Nishikawa, a missing housekeeper of the Mamiya family!"

Yingsheng didn't understand what happened back then and stepped aside, noncommittal.

Whether it was the housekeeper or the old lady, with her status, she could definitely have poisoned the food of everyone in the stone tower four years ago.

The old policeman reported the incident and requested that it be investigated in the police system. He immediately searched around the castle, trying to find evidence.

The result was nothing.

The old policeman ran to the courtyard to find Yingsheng for help, and saw him lying on the second floor window sill shouting below:

"Kyogoku-senpai, soldiers cannot retreat."

The old policeman hurriedly looked back, "Bang——!!!" A heavy stone chess piece rose from the ground, moved forward one square, and fell heavily.

"Gulu——"

The old policeman's Adam's apple rolled. What kind of ghost is this? Are young people so scary nowadays?

"Suigetsu-kun, this is going too far."

Bang——! ! !

Another muffled sound came, and the old policeman quickly looked around. It was the girl who volunteered to help the police go to the attic to explore the way. At that time, the police were at a loss and wanted to call for backup. She was really helpful.

"Ah, Xiaolan, can you tell?" Yingsheng on the second floor asked curiously.

"Didn't you tell me the solution to the code before? If I still can't figure it out, I'd be stupid." Xiaolan jumped to the queen chess piece she had just moved and looked at the overall situation, "J, O, K, as expected, you want to spell out joker."

Hina retorted: "How is that possible? These letters are obviously beyond the range of A-H."

Xiaolan snorted: "You changed the way of referring to use two numbers to represent one letter. The sum of the row numbers corresponding to the two black chess pieces in column A is equal to 10, which corresponds to the tenth letter in the alphabet, J, and the same is true for the others."

" Objection. "

Hina retorted: "There is only one chess piece in column C, in the third square. According to what you said, shouldn't it be C? JOC, old kid, although it's a bit joking, it's not a big problem."

Xiao Lan smiled confidently: "But that chess piece is the king, it's King, code K. It's JOK, not JOC."

"Haha, it's just a coincidence, I didn't think so much." Yingsheng looked down at the old policeman with a strange expression, "Mr. Officer, what's the matter?"

Changing the topic is to admit defeat, Xiao Lan smiled secretly and made a victory gesture to Yingsheng.

Hina didn't want to see it at first, but he still saw it with his sneak peek, and he had no choice but to spread his hands.

"V, 22, you have to put four chess pieces."

"Eh? Eight plus seven plus seven, isn't it three?"

"Stupid, you put two chess pieces in one square?"

"That's right."

Xiao Lan suddenly realized, jumped down, and continued to put the chess pieces.

Bang——!!

The old policeman wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, opened and closed his mouth several times, and finally said the original request.

The police believed that there was something wrong with this castle, at least there was a secret room, which hid Mutsumi Nishikawa's personal belongings and passport, etc.

But under the leadership of Katsuo Tabata, they found nothing, so they had to ask for help from the detective who had deciphered the secret before.

After saying this, it seemed that the police were a little too incompetent, and he added: "We have found evidence through immigration control that Mutsumi Nishikawa went to Seoul many times for plastic surgery to age. And we also found a suspected secret passage, but we can't find the mechanism."

"This is simple, it's okay to break it violently, Senior Kyogoku." Yingsheng shouted.

The old policeman felt a flash in front of his eyes, and a dark-skinned young man fell from the sky and appeared in front of him.

"Mr. Police Officer, take me there."

Kyogoku's eyes lit up, and he was very happy to be able to smash the wall openly.

"..."

The old policeman was speechless: "Mr. Shuiyue, this castle is your property, are you sure you want to destroy it?"

"..."

Hina was also speechless: "Is there a vampire hidden in this castle? I can't do it even if I don't want it?"

"Well, it's mainly because Mr. Mamiya has no children, and you solved the puzzle, so..."

"Honest, too honest."

Hina interrupted: "Can't you Ebina City Police Department return this place to the public, and then auction it off, and you will have a guaranteed salary for the next ten years. Alas, it's really disappointing, you still live in a capitalist society."

"..."

Kyogoku Makoto looked back silently, not knowing what to say to Hotaru.

I always feel that you seem to be very skilled.

The old policeman was silent for a moment, and said weakly: "Is it too late for me to return it to the public now?"

"Unfortunately, it's too late, because you said there is a secret passage here, and I have planned to develop it into a theme park." Yingsheng looked at Xiaolan who was struggling to place the chess pieces, "Miss LOVE, do you mind helping to take the students to play the puzzle exploration game?"

Bang——!

The chess pieces fell, Xiaolan's cheeks turned red, and she didn't even look at Yingsheng.

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, four letters." Yingsheng smiled slightly, "I also..."

"Don't say it! That's just a LIKE at most!"

Xiaolan interrupted with a red face, ran into the hall quickly, and gathered the students who were visiting everywhere.

Yingsheng sighed sadly, looked at Kyogoku Makoto with a smile in his eyes, and pouted slightly.

"Senior Kyogoku, your Morse code can't be hidden from me."

Kyogoku Makoto's face changed, and he immediately turned his head: "Mr. Shuiyue thinks too much."

Hinaori smiled and was about to speak, but when he saw Suzuki Sonoko coming late from the gate, he kept silent again.

The old policeman said with some worry: "Can that lady do it?"

Hinaori spread his hands: "You saw the decryption just now. Xiaolan is super powerful now, but she just hasn't encountered a suitable stage."

"..."

The old policeman felt that it was really bad to use the word stage to describe the murder case, but when he thought that high school detectives seemed to be of this character, he could only nod his head to express his gratitude and enter the hall to explore with Xiaolan's steps.

There is no way, who told them that the police are used to being lazy.

The gate of the castle was open, Sonoko walked into the courtyard, looked up at Hiinaori at the window on the second floor.

"Where is Xiaolan?"

"She is inside with the police investigating the case. There is a secret passage, and there may be treasures hidden." Hiinaori said.

Yuanzi's eyes lit up, and she walked a few steps inside quickly, then stopped: "Why don't you go?"

Hina stretched out her hand to the sunlight that finally fell in the sky, and felt the long-lost warmth in her palm, and moaned comfortably.

"I'm photosynthesizing, don't disturb me."

"...How are you?"

"Not very well."

"Haven't you recovered from the cold yet?"

"Lack of chlorophyll."

“…Asshole!”

Yuanzi walked into the hall angrily, not wanting to pay any more attention to this annoying guy.
