Chapter 153 The Mystery of the Blue Castle
"One hour at most before the sun goes down."

Conan looked at his watch and accepted the reality.

"It looks like we won't be able to return to Mihua Town tonight. We have to find a place to stay. We can't spend the night in the car."

Today's cell phones don't even have cameras, let alone access the Internet, and there is no so-called GPS navigation system in the car. Feng Chu can't recognize where this is, so he has to secretly use the blessing card on Kogoro Mori.

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan looked at each other and hugged each other to keep warm.

After a few minutes.

Mori Kogoro cheered: "Look, God has not forgotten us, there is a house there, let's spend the night there tonight!"

Looking through the car window, there is a European-style building with blue walls and blue tiles standing far ahead.

After passing through the lush green forest and coming to the main entrance of the building, I realized that this is a castle with an area comparable to a football field. The towers in the castle are a little black, obviously old.

"This castle is so big!" Mao Lilan exclaimed.

Suzuki Sonoko said with a smile: "It's not bad, if there is such a big castle in Tokyo, it will be considered amazing."

"With such a big castle, there must be many empty houses!"

Mori Kogoro, who was about to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, approached the gate first.

The gardener Tabata Katsuo, who was holding a pruning saw to trim the branches inside the door, also noticed the cars and people staying outside the door. He put down the pruning saw and walked to the door, saving Mori Kogoro from shouting.

"Hello, cough, hello, we accidentally got lost here, I wonder if we can stay overnight?"

Kogoro Mori pulled his tie, coughed twice to make his voice serious, and looked expectantly at Katsuo Tabata, the gardener.

Wearing a brown peaked cap and a long nose, Katsuo Tabata sized up Mori Kogoro and the others, shook his head and said, "Sorry, without the permission of our lord and Mrs. Tai, I can't let you in, and I can't let you stay. .”

Maori Kogoro said politely: "Then please go and report it, and let your master and Mrs. Tai make a decision."

Tabata Katsuo thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "No need to report, I advise you to just give up, you are strangers, Mrs. Tai will not let you live in."

Mori Kogoro frowned, decided to reveal his identity, and said solemnly: "I am a detective Mori Kogoro, as long as you report it, I believe her old man will give me face."

Tabata Katsuo thought hard for a few seconds, and said bluntly, "I don't know."

Kogoro Maori's forehead was bulging with black lines. He felt that the gardener seemed to be acting on his behalf. It doesn't matter whether you recognize him or not. The key is how the two people who can make the decision are your master and Mrs. Tai.

So, Mori Kogoro argued with Tabata Katsuo.

It didn't take long.

A burly, square-faced middle-aged man in a dark purple suit, Miyomi Mamiya walked up behind Katsuo Tabata and asked, "What's going on? Who are these people?"

Katsuo Tabata immediately turned around and explained: "Master, this mustache who claims to be a detective wants to stay here for one night, and he also said that I have blind eyes..."

Mamiyaman's eyes lit up, and he looked at Kogoro Mori with great interest.

When Kogoro Mori saw the principal coming, he said solemnly, "That's right, I am Kogoro Mori, a detective!"

Mamiyaman, who doesn't often read newspapers, nodded slightly, feeling that Mori Kogoro didn't seem to be lying, and said: "A detective, this is not ordinary, so your reasoning ability must be very good?"

Mori Kogoro snorted proudly.

Jian Gongman held his chin with his right hand, and then smiled and said, "Okay, please come in. If my mother-in-law asks, just say they are my friends!"

Tabata Katsuo hesitated for a moment, thinking that the somewhat insane Mrs. Tai was getting old after all, so he obeyed Mamiya Mitsuru's order, opened the iron gate, and let Mori Kogoro and his party enter the castle.

The flowers and plants in the yard are neatly trimmed, and there are adult-tall chess pieces on the grass next to it.

"Oh, I didn't expect there to be such a big chess piece here. It's really elegant."

After entering, Kogoro Mori didn't put on a serious face. He looked left and right, full of interest. Compared with the Bailaifang of the detective agency, this kind of wide yard is his favorite.

Fengchu and Suzuki Sonoko looked at each other and sighed helplessly, knowing that Uncle Mao Li's solemnity would not last long.

Walk through the long stone path and enter the room.

Suzuki Sonoko looked at the tall portrait hanging on the stairs in front of him, and asked curiously, "Is that the previous owner of the castle?"

Looking at the painting on the front wall, Mamiyaman nodded and said, "Yes, he is my father-in-law, who died of illness 15 years ago, and he left a last word before he died—do you want my most precious treasure? Want it?" If so, let’s solve the mystery of the castle, my treasure is in this castle!”

Mori Kogoro's eyes lit up instantly.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Feng Chu couldn't help coughing three times, and that part of the last words was inexplicably familiar.

Hui Yuanai looked up at Feng Chu, and according to what she learned, Feng Chu was not infected.

Mao Lilan was concerned: "Brother Fengchu, are you okay?"

Feng Chu shook his head, expressing that it was fine.

At this time, an old voice sounded faintly behind everyone.

"Yeah, it's a pity that he passed away after he finished his last words." The ugly old woman with a hunched body and wrinkled face sat in a wheelchair, her eyes squinted under the glasses. into a line.

Jian Gongman smiled and said: "Mother-in-law, you are here, I am really sorry to remind you of those past events."

Mamiya Zenoyo recalled: "It doesn't matter, I have been used to it for a long time, just like the size of the passport and the pattern on the [-] yuan banknote. By the way, who are these?"

Mamiya Mitsuru said gently: "My friend Mori Kogoro and his relatives and friends."

Mamiya Zoyo didn't seem to doubt him, and after saying a few words, he pushed the hand wheel and went to another room.

"Mr. Mori, I leave the puzzle to you!" Mitsuru Mamiya said with high hopes, and then called the maid to prepare dinner and tidy the room immediately.

Mori Kogoro immediately patted his chest and said, "Put it on me!"

Hey, hey, uncle, are you really good?

Conan, who has no clue at the moment, squints at Kogoro Mori, feeling that the uncle is really unreliable.

Then, Mamiya Mitsu took Mori Kogoro and the others to visit other rooms in the castle, so that Mori Kogoro could find out the mystery of the castle.

It wasn't until the maid informed that dinner was ready that Mitsuru Mamiya led Mori Kogoro to the living room.

"A detective? Have you solved the mystery of the castle yet?"

Mamiya Zenyo, who was eating quietly at first, raised his head suddenly after hearing Suzuki Sonoko's conversation, and stared at Kogoro Mori with aggressive eyes, which made Kogoro Mori feel chills.
