Ran Maori skillfully caught Shiraishi and took him to ask the castle owner where he could rest.

After she left, after a while, Hattori Heiji still couldn't solve the mystery of the lawn chessboard.

Moreover, he had other doubts in his heart.

——Kudo has disappeared for too long.

Hattori Heiji temporarily gave up solving puzzles and ran to find someone.

However, after searching around, there was no figure of Conan on this floor.

Before, he thought Conan had a clue, so he ran to study it alone.

But now half an hour has passed, and there should be a result.

According to Hattori Heiji's understanding of Conan, if Conan had not discovered anything, he would have come back in shame long ago and continue to check the lawn if nothing happened.

And if he finds something, he will appear in front of his teammates with a proud look on his face and announce his achievements.

So now, what about people?

Think about it again, Shiraishi, who was very energetic all the way, suddenly fell asleep not long after he arrived at the castle. Although he had a sleep at the Nagato family, this narcolepsy seemed to have a comfortable place and had a bed on his own... but other possibilities cannot be ruled out, such as the air problem in the villa.

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but reach into his pocket and clenched the folding stick.

...This detective who loves sleeping in Tokyo is not a prophet, right?

He said that he thought the castle was not right, and Kudo disappeared out of thin air. If he hadn't felt that these two people wouldn't be so boring, Hattori Heiji would have suspected that they were joining forces to trick him.

By the way, Kudo seems to have said that Shiraishi has an intuition that is so accurate that he is almost strange about crime, and can even stop many murders that have not yet happened. Unfortunately, people are asleep now and cannot count on his skill.

Hattori Heiji looked at the quiet corridor and did not plan to stay here.

He began to look for the servants in the castle, intending to ask about the situation of the castle, and by the way, he checked for suspicious people who might abduct Conan.

With Mamiya Miyagi's entrustment, asking these will not cause doubt.

...

Corpse often contains a lot of key information, the same is true for white bones that have been weathered for many years.

Conan in the secret passage soon discovered that the bones of this skeleton were much thinner than those of other parts.

Combined with its approximate age and gender during his lifetime, the face of the old lady in a wheelchair she met when she entered the castle.

Thinking of this, the old lady did say something strange.

——Just just now, when several people accidentally mentioned the deceased Grandmaster, she sighed and said, "I have become used to the days when he is not around, just like the pattern of the banknotes and the size of the passport have changed. At first, I am not used to it, but I get used to it over time. Time is terrible."

At first glance, this is indeed very similar to what an old man who likes to talk about big truths said.

But according to the gardener, the old lady has been staying in the castle since her leg had been in trouble for more than ten years and never went out, let alone traveling overseas.

The size of the passport was changed six years ago. How could a person who has never used a new passport make such an example out of thin air?

Also, in the previous fire, the servants who served the old lady were burned to death with the wife, but the old lady escaped, so why wouldn't it be...

A terrible guess gradually spread to Conan's heart.

Before he could take a closer look, his head suddenly became a heavy weight, as if someone was pressing his head hard.

Conan couldn't hold back and fell forward on the skeleton. Almost at the same time, he heard a sound of the brick falling to the ground.

Conan raised his eyes slightly, and with the flashlight in his watch, he saw the "Old Lady" standing behind him, holding half of the brick in his hand.

The other half of the pieces collapsed during the sneak attack and fell to the ground.

"..." The bricks were broken, and my head was fine?

Conan was very confused.

After thinking about it carefully, the touch on his head just now did not seem to have been knocked with a brick. And now, he doesn't feel dizzy or headache, but instead hitting the chin on the skeleton is more painful.

Immediately afterwards, Conan's face itched and he felt a few strands of liquid flowing down his cheeks and passing through his nose, he could smell a very obvious smell of blood.

Conan was even more confused. Can this brick have its own anesthetic effect?

He originally wanted to touch his head and see where there was a wound. At the same time, he got up and ran away quickly, staying away from this dangerous "old lady".

But before that, Conan remembered the hat that Black Cat had put on him not long ago and the sentence "Just pretend I haven't been here."

...If the black cat has never been here and has not given himself that strange hat, he will be directly slapped on his head with a brick.

With such a great force, you should be dizzy for a while.

After reaching this conclusion, Conan closed his eyes and lay still.

Nishikawa Kazumi picked up the flashlight he had dropped and slapped Conan's face. Seeing the child's head covered in blood and his eyes closed, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She walked up to carry the person up, grabbed the skeletons wrapped in her clothes with her other hand, and led them to the deeper part of the secret passage.

After Mamiya Man found two detectives, Nishikawa Kami has been paying close attention to these people, trying to intercept them, grab the treasure and then slip away from the secret passage.

But now, the treasure was not found, and the naughty child accidentally found the secret passage. It was still in such a big secret passage, and so coincidentally encountered the body of the old lady...

Nishikawa Yumi cursed bad luck in her heart and decided to wait a few days before the child starved to death. She threw him into the woods outside, forging the illusion that he was playing tricks on himself, slipped into the forest, fell and fainted, and then starved to death in the woods.

——It was not the first time she did something similar. Two years ago, a servant discovered the secret of the secret passage in the castle, and she also dealt with it like this. Nishikawa Kumi was very skillful.

As for the naughty child’s companion, they didn’t seem to be old last year and had nothing to do. To be a detective, they should be smarter than ordinary people and should not be stubborn about this matter.

But if they want to call the police or find something wrong... they can only kill them together.

Thinking of this, Nishikawa Yumi came to the bottom of the secret passage. She threw down the skeleton, found a rope to tie Conan tightly, and returned to the castle from the secret passage, intending to continue monitoring the other three foreign populations.

She remembered that in addition to this child, there were two men and one woman outside.

The man who started sleeping not long after entering the door shouldn't have to worry too much - Nishikawa Yumi remembered that the gardener saw the person fall down suddenly and couldn't understand the situation, so he almost called an ambulance, so the high school girl explained that her companions often fell asleep suddenly.

Nishikawa Yumi soon came up with a plan.

——Just put a drink next to Shiraishi and put some sleeping pills in it, it should be solved.

When a person wakes up, he is prone to thirst. When he is thirsty, he will drink water and continue to sleep after drinking sleeping pills... It is not a problem to keep him asleep until he leaves. Anyway, no one can tell whether he slept because he drank the medicine or slept by himself.

High school girls are timid and should not walk around. As long as they are scared, they will stay in the room honestly. Even if she finds the problem, her thin little arms and legs are not her opponent.

The only thing that is a little troublesome is the very dark detective.
