Kexue Magician

Chapter 154 Give Me Some Time
"Cough cough!"

"That's right, I'm Detective Mori Kogoro!"

"Well, the mystery of the castle, I already have a little clue, as long as you give me a little more time, I will definitely be able to solve it."

Mori Kogoro coughed twice, emboldened, and never tires of proclaiming that he is a detective.

As for the mystery of the castle, he really has no clue at all, but he can leave tomorrow morning, and then he can use the lack of time as an excuse to save his face and leave in a cool way, which also solves the urgent need to be asked now.

I am so witty!
Mori Kogoro poured a glass of red wine and sipped it complacently.

Mamiya Zoseyo smiled kindly, the round lenses reflected a faint fluorescence, and asked Mori Kogoro which cases he had solved.

Mori Kogoro started talking without hesitation, eloquently.

Although many cases were solved by the "sleeping Kogoro", Police Officer Megure would ask the sober Kogoro to take notes afterwards. Taking this opportunity, Mori Kogoro also fully knew what reasoning he did after he fell asleep.

Hehehe, uncle is really thick-skinned!

Conan accepted Feng Chu's profound gaze, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"As expected of a detective..."

Mamiya Zoyo said approvingly only after he finished the meal.

Mori Kogoro raised his head high and laughed, and smugly accepted all the compliments from Mamiya Zoyo.

Before leaving the dining table, Mamiya Masuyo asked Mori Kogoro to solve the mystery of the castle as soon as possible with great anticipation. Mori Kogoro agreed without hesitation, and he almost said that it was on me.

Mamiya Zoyo just pushed the hand wheel to let the wheelchair slide for half a meter, then stopped and told the maid: "As soon as my daughter comes back, ask her to meet me in my room. She said she would celebrate my birthday!"

The maid smiled awkwardly but politely.

Seeing the doubts of Mao Lilan and others, Ma Gongman said: "Four years ago, my wife went back to the castle to celebrate her mother's birthday. Unfortunately, she and her friends, as well as my mother-in-law's housekeeper and servants, all More than a dozen people were all burned to death in the ancient pagoda."

"My mother-in-law was greatly stimulated, and she became mentally disturbed. In addition, her legs have not healed for ten years, and she was trapped in the castle, thinking that her daughter was still alive. I am worried that her old man has been living here."

Mori Kogoro and the others nodded in understanding, feeling really miserable.

Everyone continued to eat dinner.

Conan looked at Mao Lilan who was eating happily, then turned to look at Mamiya Man, and asked curiously, "Who placed the chess pieces outside?"

Mamiya Man laughed and said, "It was put on by my father-in-law. My mother-in-law also said that he is a person who can only talk about big principles but does not act. Neither Zhenzhao nor I have violated my father-in-law's last wish. For more than ten years, I have hired gardeners every day. Do some mowing of the grass."

"Who is Zhen Zhao?" Mori Kogoro asked.

Mamiyaman picked up the stem of the goblet and took a sip of the red wine, without changing his smile:
"When you entered the entrance, you all saw three portraits on the wall, the one on the front is my father-in-law, the one on the left is my wife, and the one on the right is Zhen Zhao, Zhen Zhao is my wife's first husband, and I am the second. "

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko looked at each other.

Suzuki Sonoko asked bluntly, "Then you married into Mamiya's house, right?"

Jian Gongman nodded with a smile, looked at the nobleman Jiangong on his right, and said, "Your nobleman is the son of my wife and Zhen Zhaosheng."

The aristocrat Jiangong raised his head and smiled at Mao Lilan and the others.

The atmosphere calmed down again, and everyone ate dinner quietly.

After dinner.

The maid brought Mori Kogoro and others to the guest room on the east side of the first floor, and asked Mori Kogoro and the others to choose among the seven rooms.

After choosing the room, it was just after eight o'clock in the evening.

In the castle without computers, TV and other entertainment equipment, Suzuki Sonoko, feeling bored and lonely, dragged Mao Lilan to Fengchu's room, and asked Fengchu to play cards together.

Followed by Conan and Haibara Ai.

Feng Chu said with a strange expression: "Playing cards again?"

Mao Lilan, who had seen how powerful Feng Chu was, advised, "Yuanzi, why don't you play something else? Otherwise, you will regret it."

"What are you afraid of? I'm also very good at poker!"

Just like a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, with a self-confidence that does not know where it comes from, Suzuki Sonoko patted his chest, pressed Mao Lilan to sit down, and then let Feng Chu sit down, shuffled and dealt the cards skillfully.

Feng Chu sighed secretly. He felt that it was necessary to let Suzuki Sonoko know what is the danger of society, so he said: "How about some punishment? The loser will do ten leapfrogs."

Suzuki Sonoko agreed without hesitation.

Yuanzi's best friend Mao Lilan agreed as if she would risk her life to accompany the gentleman.

As for Conan who made up the number of people, no one asked his opinion.

"To five, I won."

"Eight of clubs, I won."

"Ten diamonds, I won again."

···
In just over 20 minutes, Fengchu had already won eight games.

Sonoko Suzuki, who was high-spirited at the beginning, gradually became cautious. After No. 80 leapfrogs, she stuck out her tongue out of breath, looked up at the snow-white ceiling, with a face full of doubts about life.

Mao Lilan never looked tired, looking at Suzuki Sonoko's eyes, revealing - believe it now?
Hui Yuanai's ice blue eyes shone with a strange light. She had been paying attention to Feng Chu's movements, and she couldn't tell whether Feng Chu had made any moves. It could only be attributed to Feng Chu's luck, reasoning ability, or card skills. sharp.

After a while, Feng Chu said with a smile: "Are you still coming? Maybe I will lose the next game."

Conan frowned wildly, staring at Feng Chu with dead fish eyes.

"Don't play anymore, I'm going to take a shower, Xiaolan, Conan, you can play with Brother Fengchu."

Suzuki Sonoko, who had no choice but to believe in evil, shook her head faster than a rattle, and after hastily finished speaking, she fled the room in a hurry.

"Oops, my stomach hurts, I need to go to the bathroom!"

Conan's baby face pretended to be in pain, he covered his stomach with his hands, and ran away as fast as he was on a hot wheel.

Mao Lilan looked at Feng Chu whose smile did not change, squeezed out a smile and said: "Conan must have eaten his stomach, I will ask Mr. Jian Gong if he has any medicine for stomach pain, brother Feng Chu, I will go first ..."

Feng Chu nodded slightly, with a casual look.

Afterwards, Hui Yuanai also left.

Silent all night.

Eight o'clock the next morning.

Mamiya Masuyo, who was sitting in a wheelchair, asked kindly: "Mr. Mori, after a night of reasoning and thinking, have you solved the mystery of the castle?"

Mamiya Mitsuru and Mamiya Takahito, who were eating breakfast, stopped eating at the same time and stared at Kogoro Mori.

Mori Kogoro quickly took a bite of the sandwich, and said vaguely: "I don't have enough time, give me some more time and I'll be able to solve it soon. Unfortunately, I'm leaving soon."
