Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 159

"Xiao Ai, Xiao Saki, and Conan! We're here!" Not long after the group got out of the car, the slightly excited voices of the three members of the Detective Boys came from behind.

Everyone looked back and saw Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko jumping off Dr. Ari's beetle impatiently, and Dr. Ari locked the car door and walked towards this side behind the children.

"Dr. Li, and everyone, you're here too." Xiaosaki walked forward with a small sad smile, and greeted several people.

"Xiao Ai, it's exactly what you said, your castle is really big!" Looking at the huge castle in front of her that she couldn't see up to the top, Ayumi said with admiration.

"Such a big castle, there must be a lot of rooms inside, maybe there are secret rooms, it is definitely the most suitable place for adventure!" Yuan Tai also scanned the castle up and down, his eyes were shining with gold.

Mitsuhiko immediately took out the camera from his backpack and started taking pictures, and at the same time explained to a few friends: "I think the theme of the free research for the next vacation is the observation of ancient European architecture, so take advantage of these few times I will take some photos first, and next time I want to go to the blue castle over the campsite to take some more photos, it should be no problem, classmate Shiliang?"

"I think it's a very good idea, but it's being repaired and remodeled there, let's go there to play together after it's finished." Xiaosaki nodded with a smile, and then looked at Yuan Taidao, "As for the matter of castle exploration , We have to wait for Mom and Dad to finish their business today, let's play outside before that, refreshments are already prepared in the courtyard."

"Okay then, but it looks like the courtyard of the castle is also very big, let's start exploring from the outside while having a tea party." Although Yuantai felt a little regretful that he couldn't enter the castle right away, seeing such a big There is a courtyard, and there are delicious refreshments, so I feel that there is nothing unacceptable.

A few children here gathered together to laugh and laugh, while the Russian ambassador Ovchinnikov complained impatiently: "Mr. Gan is so slow. He said that he had something to go around somewhere else, but the result Everyone was waiting for him alone."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Gan Jiangyi drove a red hatchback into the gate of the castle and parked beside the other vehicles.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it took me a while to prepare, and I kept everyone waiting." Gan Jiangyi got out of the car with a big bag on his back and walked towards the crowd, apologizing.

Seeing that the other party was wearing work clothes and carrying a heavy-looking rucksack, Mori Kogoro complained speechlessly: "What, this outfit? Are you going to explore?"

Gan Jiangyi made an expression of "you don't understand", and said indifferently: "As the saying goes, it is good to be prepared, maybe it will be used at any time."

Hearing his words, Shi Ye only thought it was funny, thinking why there are always people who like to dance in the minefield and go crazy, hoping that when he uses the props in the bag, he won't cry and call his mother.

Seeing that everyone has arrived, Xia Mei led everyone into the castle. Conan, who was talking to his friends at the moment, wanted to join the adults' team, but was suddenly grabbed by the collar from behind, and walked in. no.

Conan, who was strangled by the collar and almost couldn't breathe, turned his head resentfully, and saw Xiao Ai staring at him with sharp eyes, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth and said: "Why? Is Edogawa-san not only planning to leave the team, but also going into other people's homes without being invited? Isn't this something a polite child should do?"

"Ah! Conan, you want to act alone again, right? You're going too far!" Hearing Xiao Ai's words, the three little ones noticed Conan's movements, and all stared at each other angrily, causing Conan to stare. Feel guilty.

Seeing that he had aroused public outrage, Conan had no choice but to show an embarrassed smile and quickly explained: "No, I just have a little urgency and want to go in and go to the bathroom."

"So it's an internal emergency, so there's no need to go inside. There is an independent outdoor bathroom in the backyard. Would you like me to take you there, Edogawa?" Xiao Ai didn't expose Conan's lies, and continued to use the clown looked at each other with a smile.

Seeing that the castle door was locked from the inside, Conan also gave up struggling, scratched his head and smirked: "Ahaha, is that so? Then I will trouble you..."

Seeing Conan deflated and admitting cowardice, Xiao Ai was satisfied, and then greeted a few little ones: "It happens that the tea party is also held in the backyard, so let's go with classmate Edogawa."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ai took the lead and walked towards the backyard, and the others and Dr. A Li followed behind her, walking along the stone road in the courtyard while admiring the scenery around the castle.

……

"This is between the knights. It is used to store Western knight armor and tapestries."

"This is the lady's room. The old lady often spent a whole day here when she was alive, because she felt that this room was the most comfortable."

"This is between the emperors, and it is a place where all kinds of Western court artworks are placed."

Under the guidance and explanation of the housekeeper Sawabe, the group visited several exhibition rooms of the castle, and gained a new understanding of the wealth of the Kasaka family.

"Well, where is the toilet?" Gan Jiangyi forced himself to hold back the shock in his heart, and asked the housekeeper Sawabe with a look of impatience.

The greedy gaze in his eyes could not escape the other party's eyes at all, but Butler Sawabe still answered his question with a gentle smile: "The toilet is on the right side of the corridor, do you want me to take you there?" ?”

"Thank you, I'll just go by myself." After finishing speaking, the go-getters walked out of the room one by one, ran towards the opposite direction of the toilet, and went directly into the lady's room that he had visited before.

As soon as he entered the room, he began to rummage around, and soon found a black metal safe embedded in the wall on the back of an oil painting, so he took out a professional lockpicking tool from the backpack behind him and began to operate stand up.

When he successfully opened the safe and saw the piles of gold, silver and jewels inside, he could no longer control his greed, and impatiently stretched his hand into it, wanting to pack all the treasures away.

The moment his fingers touched the jewelry, a handcuff made of refined iron suddenly protruded from the bottom of the safe, and locked his wrist inside it with precision.

As soon as Gan Jiang was startled by this sudden change, he tried his best to break free from the shackles, but it was still in vain. Before he could catch his breath, a hole was suddenly opened in the ceiling directly above him, and countless sharp knives It fell from the top of his head, frightening him to death, and he collapsed to the ground in an instant.

At the moment when he thought everything was over and couldn't help screaming loudly, the falling swords stopped only a few centimeters above his head.
