Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 133 Castle
After learning that Dr. A Li, who was in charge of holding the tent, had left the tent at home, the excited little ones felt struck by lightning. In desperation, everyone had to get in the car and follow Dr. A Li back the same way.

"What's the matter, it's rare for everyone to come out for camping, so how could you forget the most important tent?" Yuan Tai complained to Dr. A Li in the driver's seat with her dead fish eyes turned.

"It's a good vacation, it just went to waste..." Mitsuhiko also looked out of the window with a speechless expression and echoed.

"Besides, we seem to be lost. We didn't seem to pass through this forest when we came, right?" Ayumi stood up and looked in front of the car, questioning Dr. Ali's sense of direction.

Hearing the complaints of the three little ones, Dr. A Li retorted a little irritably: "It's all because you guys are bothering me in the back that I drove the wrong way!"

"It looks like we'll probably have to sleep in the car in the wilderness tonight." Seeing that the old and the young were still arguing, Conan sat in the back seat helplessly and complained.

Behind them, Shi Ye leisurely maintained a safe distance between cars, and did not feel annoyed at all because of the twists and turns in this mountain.

It was Xiao Ai who raised the question first: "I said Dad, don't you think the path Dr. A Li leads is a bit strange, it seems that we didn't take this path when we came, right?"

"That's what I think. It stands to reason that we've been driving for almost two hours, so we should be back on the highway." Xiaosaki also agreed with her sister's opinion.

"You are right. Dr. Ali drove to another road at the first intersection after departure, and we are now advancing deep into the mountain." Hearing what the two said, Ishino nodded, and then he did not hesitate. He explained it to his daughters without hesitation.

Xiao Ai was taken aback when she heard the words, and then she looked at her calm-faced father speechlessly and asked, "You all know that they drove the wrong way, why didn't you remind the other side? Me, can I call Edogawa in the car in front?"

"Xiao Ai, don't worry, maybe they are talking about going to other places to play?" After speaking, Ishino raised his finger and pointed at the looming castle spire in front of him and said with a smile, "Do you think there is Dr. A Li? Where do they want to take us?"

Just when Xiao Ai and Xiao Saki looked up at the castle ahead, the children in the front car also saw the blue castle appearing in the direction of the car, they became excited instantly, and cheered for Dr. A Li to go Go in that direction.

A few minutes later, Dr. Ali and Ishino parked the car outside the walls of the blue European-style castle, and then a group of people got out of the car and came to the big iron gate of the manor.

"so big!"

"It's like a castle in the West!"

Looking at the huge old-fashioned castle in front of them, the three little ones exclaimed, eager to go in and explore.

"Is it big? I think it's pretty normal." Looking at the little ghosts who kept praising the castle, Xiao Ai compared the castle in front of her with the Neuschwanstein Castle in Yokosuka, and made sure that all aspects were the same. It was after the victory of his own castle that he showed a proud expression on his face.

Conan on the side saw the change in Xiao Ai's expression, and joked curiously: "Why, has Miss Huiyuan ever seen a bigger castle? I remember that there doesn't seem to be a bigger castle in the United States, right?"

Hearing Conan's words, Xiao Ai knew that the other party thought she had seen a similar castle when she was studying in the United States, and looked at Conan with a playful smile and said, "No, it's in Japan. Could it be that our name Detective, haven't you seen it?"

Hearing Xiao Ai's words obviously mocking his "ignorance", the corner of Conan's mouth twitched, and he questioned angrily: "Really? If you want to talk about those Japanese-style castles, then it doesn't count."

Xiao Ai frowned when she heard the words, and just about to refute, she saw the other three little ones gathered around after hearing their conversation.

"Haihara-san, have you really seen a castle bigger than this one in Japan? Where is that castle?" Ayumi looked at Xiao Ai with great interest and asked.

"I saw it with my own eyes. It was on the top of a mountain in Yokosuka City." Xiao Ai replied with a smile on her brows.

"So there really is a bigger castle. How big is that castle? Is it as big as Osaka Castle?" Mitsuhiko asked curiously.

Xiao Ai silently compared it in her heart and replied: "It's bigger than Osaka Castle, I think it's about the size of Edo Castle."

"Wow, is it that big? I really want to take a look at that castle. It would be even better if I could explore there!" Yuan Tai said excitedly with his eyes shining.

"Hey, if there is such a castle, it must not be the kind of place where children can go in and explore casually!" Seeing the people talking more and more, Conan took the initiative to pour cold water on it.

"It's okay, the owner of that castle has already agreed, I'll take you there to play next time!" Seeing San Xiaozhi's dejected expression after hearing Conan's words, Xiao Ai directly expressed relief, and then looked bad. He smiled and looked at Conan who was a little dazed.

Hearing Xiao Ai's words, Conan realized what the other party's proud expression meant before, looked at the other party blankly, and squeezed out a sentence with a voice like a tape stuck: "Could it be... what you said ...That... castle, is... your family's... right?"

Although he knew that the Kasaka family was a very wealthy local tyrant family, otherwise Haihara Ai would not have chosen the other party as his umbrella, but now it seems that the other party is much richer than he imagined.

You must know that Yokosuka is a very special area. If you want to own a private castle there that is comparable to Edo Castle, and it is not even known to the outside world, it is not something that can be done by ordinary people with money. The background is unfathomable.

Thinking of this, Conan mechanically turned his head to look at Shi Ye who was standing not far behind Xiao Ai. Seeing the other party smiling at him warmly, he felt a little numb.

Seeing that Conan was a bit skeptical of Xiao Ai's exposure, Xiao Qi walked to his sister and explained to a few stunned friends with a smile: "It is indeed our family's castle, but now my great-grandmother lives There, I will invite everyone to play together when I have a chance in the future.”

Seeing Xiaosaki looked towards him after finishing speaking, Ishino also smiled and walked in front of everyone and said: "Yes, after your Aunt Natsumi returns from France, we will find time to invite everyone to visit the castle together. It doesn't matter if you want to play an adventure game."

After finishing speaking, Ishino glanced at Xiao Ai who seemed to feel that he was a little too frightened, and was barely maintaining a proud expression and looked at Xiao Ai, showing a knowing smile.
