Inside the high tower, the floor on the first floor was pushed open.
Chi Feichi first put Kojima Genta up, then turned back to pull Conan and Mitsuhiko up, finally helped Professor Agasa up, and then picked up Kojima Genta again and walked out of the door.
Professor Agasa hurriedly followed, "Is the mechanism outside this time? The secret passage under this castle is really complicated..."
Chi Feichi turned his head, and his gaze towards Professor Agasa was rarely no longer as calm as before, but with a hint of complexity, "It takes less than a minute to walk over on the surface. Why go through the secret passage?"
Professor Agasa: "..."
This...
After drilling through the secret passage for a long time, he forgot that walking on the surface was indeed much shorter than the secret passage with left turns and right turns, climbing up and down. It was just around the corner after going out...
Conan and Mitsuhiko were also stunned for a moment, keeping silent, pretending that they didn't think the same as Professor Agasa just now.
Professor Agasa was a little bit hit. He seemed to see the doubt about his IQ from Chi Feichi's eyes just now.
He could actually explain it. This has nothing to do with IQ, it is a matter of habitual thinking...
Genta, who had been carried by Chi Feichi, woke up halfway and was thrown to Mitsuhiko to explain the situation.
Under Conan's secret instructions, Professor Agasa called the plastic surgery hospital to confirm the identity of 'Mamiya Masuyo'.
All the way to the main hall of the main building, Chi Feichi walked to a piece of flooring, "The exit is here."
Conan followed, watching the situation on the tracking glasses, and reminded, "Looking at their movement speed, the murderer seems to be chasing them. Be careful later."
Professor Agasa also gathered around, "I found out. It is too rare to specifically go abroad for plastic surgery to become an old lady, not to mention multiple plastic surgeries. So the plastic surgery hospital remembers very clearly. The name registered for plastic surgery was Nishikawa Mutsumi."
Mitsuhiko also stepped forward and looked at the entrance which was no different from other floors. "If the murderer knows that we are waiting above, she might escape back to the secret passage and leave from other exits. In that case, wouldn't she escape?"
Genta rubbed the big bump on the back of his head and suggested, "Then let's hide and catch the murderer when she comes up!"
"No need, I have a way to make her come up by herself, using the answer to that mystery..." Conan had just raised a confident smile at the corner of his mouth when he suddenly realized that Chi Feichi was still next to him. He turned his head and smiled cutely. "Brother Chi must also know, right? The answer to the chess puzzles in the yard."
"Don't know," Chi Feichi said. "I'm not interested in puzzles."
Conan choked, then his heart was instantly balanced. Although Chi Feichi's reasoning ability seemed to be a little bit stronger than him, it seemed that he was not good at solving puzzles and codes.
However, it needs to be noted that...
Today he seemed to inexplicably reveal a lot of un-childlike words and deeds in front of Chi Feichi.
It seemed that Chi Feichi's attitude of not treating him as a child made him almost forget that his appearance was now a 7-year-old child.
However, considering Mitsuhiko's performance today was also very calm and mature, he was not sure what Chi Feichi thought and whether he found anything...
Click.
A slight sound came from under the floor surrounded by the five people, and then it was opened.
Ayumi climbed up panting, suddenly found the light was a bit dim, looked up: "..."
Around her, Chi Feichi stood on one side, Professor Agasa stood on one side, Conan stood on one side, Genta and Mitsuhiko stood on one side, perfectly encircling the exit.
Chi Feichi silently stretched out his hand and scooped Ayumi to the side.
"The murderer's goal should be the treasures in the castle..." Haibara Ai followed Ayumi and showed her head to climb up. She looked up: "..."
After experiencing all kinds of hardships running over, she suddenly found that the little partners who she thought had encountered danger were already waiting at the exit, and weirdly formed a circle, which made her mood complicated instantly...
Chi Feichi didn't wait for Haibara Ai to climb up, reached out again and carried her out.
A hand appeared under Haibara Ai's feet, a step too late. The fingers wiped past Haibara Ai's shoe sole, completely grabbing empty air.
Below, Mamiya Masuyo... No, it should be the murderer Nishikawa Mutsumi who underwent plastic surgery to look like Mamiya Masuyo and impersonated her for several years, looked up and saw that it was empty above. She hesitated for a moment, but still gritted her teeth and climbed up.
Absolutely cannot let those who discovered her secrets escape...
Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
At the exit, the people she had knocked out before, and those she hadn't knocked out, formed a circle, hiding behind and quietly waiting for her to show her head.
Mitsuhiko and Genta even laid directly on the ground. Mitsuhiko reached out to press down Genta's head who wanted to look around, turned his head to Genta and gently shushed, and then turned to look at the exit, just in time to meet the gaze of Nishikawa Mutsumi who just showed her head from the secret passage.
The atmosphere was instantly awkward.
Conan looked at the scene of his group squatting and waiting for others to show up, and also felt that the rhythm was a bit weird. Seeing Nishikawa Mutsumi trying to shrink back and run, he quickly took out the voice changer and hid behind Professor Agasa. "Cough, Miss Nishikawa Mutsumi, even if you run now, you cannot escape the police's arrest warrant. Besides, don't you want to know the answer to the puzzle in the castle..."
Man dies for wealth, birds die for food.
Nishikawa Mutsumi really climbed out by herself, listening to Conan and Professor Agasa playing a double act to do reasoning.
The real old lady Mamiya Masuyo was murdered by Nishikawa Mutsumi long ago. After that, for the treasure in the castle, Nishikawa Mutsumi underwent plastic surgery to become Mamiya Masuyo, pretending to be suffering from dementia. Because she couldn't deceive the old lady's daughter, she created the fire four years ago, burning the old lady's daughter and the maids who served the old lady for many years to death.
And what really made Conan notice her was her phrase 'the change in passport size'. If it was the old lady who hadn't left the castle for travel in the past ten years, she couldn't have known about the change in passport size...
Chi Feichi looked at Nishikawa Mutsumi's face covered with senile plaques. This woman is also desperate enough for the treasure. If she escapes and is wanted, the reward price is estimated to be slightly higher than Numabuchi Kiichiro.
"Alright!" Nishikawa Mutsumi listened a little impatiently, and was also uncomfortable being stared at by Chi Feichi's gaze without emotion. She asked somewhat frantically, "Where is the treasure after all? Tell me quickly!"
Chi Feichi continued to observe. Hmm... this kind of criminal without guilt and repentance is mostly defined as an antisocial high-risk bounty target. In emergency situations during arrest, counterattack is allowed, and no accountability for causing death. However, the bounty will shrink a lot...
After Conan used Professor Agasa's voice to say the answer to the puzzle, Nishikawa Mutsumi impatiently opened the secret passage behind the hanging painting and climbed up, only to find that the so-called treasure was only this castle and this scenery.
In the horizon, the morning sun slowly showed its face, dyeing the clouds orange-red. The light, like a walking messenger, swallowed the darkness little by little, and gradually lit up the forest.
The river surface ahead was sparkling, and day and night alternated right in front of the eyes. It was indeed a good scenery.
Chi Feichi stood by the window and admired for a while, feeling refreshed. As for Nishikawa Mutsumi who was sitting aside dejectedly and crying dumbly, she was completely ignored by him.
An hour later, the police arrived, alarming Mamiya Mitsuru, Mamiya Takahito, and a group of servants who just woke up.
Hearing Professor Agasa tell the approximate story, Mamiya Takahito watched Nishikawa Mutsumi being taken into the police car, just thankfully breathed a sigh of relief when he was startled by a sudden burst of laughter.
"Hahahahaha...!" Mamiya Mitsuru laughed loudly.
The police officer driving the police car turned to look out the window, hesitating whether to withdraw first or look at what was going on.
"Ahahaha... I'm fine..." Mamiya Mitsuru explained a sentence to the police and laughed again, laughing extremely happily and heartily. "Hahahahaha..."
Chi Feichi: "..."
This is different from the original plot. He remembers that Mamiya Mitsuru should be very disappointed...
Genta whispered, "Did he take too much of a blow and go mad?"
Conan couldn't refute. If inferred according to normal logic, it is indeed possible...
Mitsuhiko also whispered back, "Brother Chi should know the contact information of that Aoyama Fourth Hospital, right?"
"I'm fine," Mamiya Mitsuru declared again, and the bell-like laughter also subsided, but a bright smile still hung on his face. "Frankly speaking, I was quite disappointed at first. I didn't expect the treasure that the old master said was just this castle and this scenery. But when I thought that I could finally leave without any worries, I became happy again... It's not easy. Great, it's really great... Instead of expecting those illusory wealth, wasting time and torturing myself, it is better to look at the present, experience the fun of life well, and strive for visible wealth."
Yes, just at that moment, he felt his soul sublimated!
Professor Agasa breathed a sigh of relief. Although he still felt something was wrong, thinking carefully about what Mamiya Mitsuru said, it made sense. "It's good that Mr. Mamiya can think like this."
"Everyone let's go for breakfast together!" Mamiya Mitsuru invited. "Please don't be polite, you have helped a lot!"
"We..." Professor Agasa originally didn't want to trouble the Mamiya family, but Haibara Ai pulled his clothes, so he changed his words. "Then we won't be polite!"
Mamiya Mitsuru looked at Chi Feichi again. "Mr. Chi, I'm sorry. I don't want to be trapped in this castle anymore. Originally, I promised your father to help take care of you for a period of time, I'm afraid I will break my promise. I'll talk to Mr. Shinnosuke later, really sorry."
"It's okay." Chi Feichi expressed understanding.
He had expected that he would not live here for long.
Mamiya Mitsuru lived there because there was treasure in the castle. Since there was no amazing treasure in the castle, he would not trap himself in that forest anymore.
Although Mamiya Mitsuru's mindset and ideas were a little different from what he expected, the result was the same.
Mamiya Takahito said, "I intend to stay. If Mr. Chi doesn't mind, you can also continue to live here..."
"Thank you," Chi Feichi considered. "I want to discuss with my father first."
This place is suitable as a training ground, but if really live here forever, let alone finding two bounty targets to sell for money, probably won't see a few strange faces all year round.
However, if choose between returning to the mental hospital and staying here, he will definitely choose to stay here...
