Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

"It's so hard to find every time? Can't you find someone to pick me up?" In the deep mountains and old forests, Gao Cheng rode a motorcycle through the trail and stopped in front of a blue castle.

Among the majestic western castles, towering towers can also be seen, which is incomparable to the villas I have seen before.

There are quite a lot of rich people in Conan, and every time I see them, I will be hit.

"I haven't heard of the Mamiya Consortium..."

"Oh, you are Detective Chenghu, right?" Before Gao Cheng could look any further, a middle-aged man with a mustache appeared with a smile on his face, "Welcome, welcome, it's great to have you here!"

Seeing Gao Cheng looking at him in doubt, the middle-aged man hurriedly explained: "I am Magongman, and it is my mother-in-law who specially invited you here this time."

"Mother-in-law?" Gao Cheng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask any further questions, and just followed the middle-aged man Jian Gongman into the castle courtyard.

After Mamiyaman brought him to the front hall, he said that he was going to find his mother-in-law, and asked a gardener named Tian Yansheng to take him around.

Gao Cheng looked at Jian Gongman's leaving figure, and turned his gaze to the empty front hall wall. Several huge portraits hung around the walls of the second floor leading to the stairs on both sides.

"The one in the middle is Mr. Tai," the gardener said with emotion, "on both sides are Mr. Zhenzhao and his wife. Mr. Tai passed away 15 years ago, Mr. Zhenzhao died of illness six years ago, and even his wife was killed in the fire four years ago." died."

"Fire?"

"When you came here just now, you should have seen a charred stone pagoda, right? Madam's bedroom is there," the gardener explained, "Madam has been abroad, and she came here specially to celebrate Madam Tai's birthday that year. She arrived in the middle of the night, but the tower caught fire before dawn."

The gardener turned pale when he recalled the unfortunate incident: "It's not just the wife, the friends brought back by the wife, but also more than a dozen stewards and servants who have served the wife for a long time, a dozen of them were all swallowed up by the fire. The only ones who survived the catastrophe were servants like mine who were hired not long ago, and Mrs. Tai who lived in the other building because of a cold..."

"By the way, there are also Master Aman and Young Master Noble who came back a few days before the fire."

Gao Cheng took a look at the layout of the castle's front hall, and said doubtfully, "Mr. Jiangong just now was..."

"He is Master Aman, the second husband of his wife who remarried abroad. After Master Zhenzhao died of illness, he joined the Jiangong family."

"Oh."

Gao Cheng didn't ask any more questions.

It’s another big and complicated family, and it’s a big family with a lot of stories. I don’t know what the purpose of inviting him, a famous detective, is, but it feels like an incident happened in Conan. Fortunately, Conan is not there.

The mood is really complicated, I want to handle more cases, but I don't want to encounter cases everywhere.

"This is the famous Kido Detective, right? She's really young." An old lady in a wheelchair appeared in the hall. She was skinny and ugly, with a big nose, glasses and a black hat, and withered gray hair. In the back, she shrank her neck like a little old lady.

"This is our wife." The gardener introduced.

The old man's name is Mamiya Zoyo, 83 years old, and he is the current owner of the Mamiya family.

"Hmph, I don't know which bastard used my name to find the city detectives," the old woman squinted her eyes and her face was full of wrinkles.

"Mom," Jian Gongman walked out helplessly, "You are too forgetful, you said you asked me to pick up Detective Kido this morning."

"Hmph," the old woman sneered, turned her wheelchair and turned away, while opening her thick lips and said to Gao Cheng, "However, I still ask Detective Chenghu to solve the mystery left by the master, and the reward will not be small. "

"Ah?" Gao Cheng watched anxiously as the old woman disappeared at the end of the aisle.

After working on it for a long time, he didn't even know who invited him here. Isn't this Jian Gong's family too strange?

"I'm sorry, Detective Kido," Mamiyaman stood beside Gao Cheng, "my mother-in-law hasn't left the castle for more than ten years. After the last fire, she became a little demented, and sometimes thought I was Madame is still alive."

"It's a pity,

Gao Cheng withdrew his gaze, turned to the middle-aged man and asked, "What is the puzzle you are talking about?" "

"Eh? You don't know yet?" Mamiya Man was surprised and explained, "My father-in-law left a last word of 'I will give the treasure to the person who solves the mystery of the castle', but we have only guessed and It has something to do with the chess in the courtyard, but I don’t know what the mystery is.”

"Those chessmen in the yard?"

Gao Cheng looked slightly embarrassed. He also saw it when he came in just now. There was a large piece of turf made into a chessboard in the spacious courtyard, and enlarged stone chess pieces were scattered on it.

He also thought that the owner liked the unique decoration of the chess set.

"Let me take a look first and then talk..."

"Where did you come from, you brat? How did you break in without authorization?!" The gardener suddenly shouted from outside, "Go back to me! Outsiders are not welcome here!"

"Huh?" Gao Cheng's ears moved, and when he heard the conversation between the gardener and someone, he suddenly had a bad feeling, and hurriedly followed Jian Gongman to the door.

Just glanced at it and his face collapsed.

The most worrying thing happened. A group of people at the door, not only Conan, but also Dr. Ayumi and Ayumi's brats also came.

"Who are these people?" Ma Gongman asked directly to the gardener.

"Kirodo?"

"It's Brother Kido!"

Seeing Gao Cheng coming from behind, Dr. Ali was quite surprised, and Ayumi also grabbed the iron gate in surprise.

"It's us, Brother Kido!"

"Oh?" Jian Gongman looked back at Gao Chengdao, "Are you a friend of Detective Kido? Then come in together."

Gao Cheng nodded helplessly, and after the gardener let Dr. Ali and his party into the courtyard, he ignored the clingy Ayumi and whispered to Dr., "Why are you here too? Didn't you go camping?"

"Ah, this, haha," Dr. A Li smiled awkwardly as he stroked his bald head, "It's just a coincidence."

Conan followed beside him with a sulky face, without saving the doctor's face, and said quietly: "It's not that the doctor forgot to bring the most important tent... In other words, why are you here?"

"Of course it's because of work." Gao Cheng pointed to the huge chessboard that occupies half of the courtyard. "There seems to be a mystery of treasure in these chess pieces. I was just about to solve the mystery, and you came here..."

"Treasure, treasure?" Yuantai's eyes lit up when they heard the treasure. Before Gao Cheng could elaborate, they all ran towards the black and white stone chess pieces. Ayumi ignored Gao Cheng and hugged Gao Cheng directly. Wearing a white stone statue of a horse and not letting go.

"It's Maye!"

"But only the head..."

"This is not an ordinary horse." Huiyuan walked quietly behind the crowd, glanced at it and stepped forward, "The head of the horse is a knight, one of the chess pieces."

"Where is the treasure?" Yuan Tai couldn't wait to ask excitedly, "Is it buried under the chess pieces?"

"How could it be so simple?" Mitsuhiko poured cold water on the side, "I know it's impossible, I think this might be a treasure map!"

"These brats..."

The corner of Gao Cheng's mouth twitched, and suddenly he felt Hui Yuan's gaze, with a flat gaze, he hummed softly and walked towards the chessboard with his hands behind his back.

Okay, forgot to report it to the housekeeper.
