Today, it was finally the weekend that the children had been waiting for. Moreover, the weather today was not bad. It was a good time to camp.
Dr. Agasa drove the six of them to camp and arrived at a rather nice place. As soon as the car stopped, Genta was the first to rush out of the car.
The doctor came down and took a look." The scenery is not bad.”Then, Mitsuhiko Ayumi, Conan, and Osamu got out of the car in order.
"Hey, come over quickly." Genta called out from the stream. Mitsuhiko and Ayumi ran over excitedly.
"The weather is so cold, why are you camping?”Conan complained.
"I really admire these children for being so energetic.”Xiao Ai said as she looked at Bu Mei and the others who were having fun by the stream.
"Hey, Yanze, aren't you going to play with them?”Conan said as he looked at Yan Ze, who was observing his surroundings.
Yan Ze looked at Conan and was about to say something when Guang Yan pulled him away." Yanze, let's go play together. We're here today to celebrate your joining the Detective Squad. How can you not come?"”
Yan Ze was pulled to Genta and the others 'side by Mitsuhiko in a daze.
"Look, there's a fish." Genta stood on a large rock and pointed at the water.
"Where, where?" Upon hearing Genta's words, Bu Mei excitedly looked for the fish that Genta mentioned by the stream.
"Doctor, take out the tent first.”Conan said to the doctor who was standing beside the car.
"Tent, tent." After listening to Conan, the doctor looked for a tent in the trunk. "Ah!" The doctor screamed.
"What's wrong, Doctor?" Conan asked. Then, she thought of something." I don't think you would do something stupid like forgetting to bring your tent.”Conan squinted his half-moon eyes and asked.
" About this, hehe," the doctor giggled." I'm really sorry.”
Conan was stunned." No way."
Since there was no tent, they had to end their camping trip and go home.
on the way back
" What's going on? We're here to camp. How could we forget the most important tent?" Genta complained as she leaned back in her chair.
"A good vacation is ruined.”Mitsuhiko said as he looked out the window.
"Moreover, it seems that I'm lost again.”Bu Mei complained unhappily behind the doctor.
"It's all your fault for nagging at the side.”The doctor retorted.
"Looks like we'll be sleeping in the wilderness in this car tonight.”Conan said faintly from behind.
"Ah, it can't be?" Ayumi asked in surprise.
"I think there must be a hotel nearby.”Mitsuhiko said luckily after hearing Conan's words.
"Yes, yes, yes, or a castle that can see the lake.”Bu Mei fantasized.
"How is that possible?" Conan laughed dryly.
" Castle," Yan Ze, who had been silent all this while, pointed out the window and said. He was still holding a box of milk that he had taken from somewhere.
Everyone looked in the direction that Yan Ze was pointing at.
"No way." Conan was surprised.
They arrived at the entrance of the castle.
"It's so big. It's like a castle in the west.”Guang Yan exclaimed as he looked at the castle in front of him. Bu Meiyuantai was also looking at the castle in front of him with excitement.
"But why would such a building be built in the forest?”The doctor rubbed his chin and looked at the castle in front of him with a puzzled expression.
"I think some nouveau riche must have bought a castle from abroad, dismantled it, and shipped it here to reassemble it.”Conan squinted his half-moon eyes and held the back of his head with his hands as he spoke lazily.
Suddenly, Genta ran towards the iron gate of the castle. "Genta, what are you doing?" Dr. A'li caught up with Genta and saw him climb up the iron gate. "Is there a need to ask? Of course, I'm going in." Genta said to Dr. A'li as he climbed up. Then, he flipped over and entered the castle. Just as he was about to run inside, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and lifted him up.
"I say, where did you come from? Why did you barge in without permission?”The person shouted angrily at Genta. Genta was stunned for a moment before struggling with all his might.
Professor A'li saw that Genta had been captured and explained anxiously," Sir, we're actually not bad people.”
When the man heard the doctor's explanation, he turned to look at the doctor and asked,"Who are you?”
"We happened to pass by this place and saw such a magnificent castle. If it's possible, I wonder if we can go in and take a look.”The doctor explained with a dry laugh.
" All of you, go back. This is not a place for you people…" The man shouted angrily, but he was interrupted before he could finish. "Who are these people?" The man heard the voice and turned around. When he saw the person behind him, he respectfully called out,"Master."”
"There shouldn't be any guests visiting today, right?”The old master asked.
"That stupid old man asked me to let them in.”The man pointed at Dr. A'li.
"What do you mean by stupid? No matter what, I'm a scientist.”Professor A'li said angrily.
"Scientist?" The old master looked at the doctor with a puzzled expression.
"In that case, your brain should be much smarter than ordinary people like us.”Old Master stroked his chin and said with a smile. "That's all then. Please come in. By the way, do you want to stay here for a night?”
"I'm really grateful." The doctor said happily. Tonight, he finally found something.
"But, Master, is it good to make such a decision without discussing it with First Madam first?”The person from before asked after hearing Old Master's words.
"Just say that they're all my friends.”Old Master said indifferently and then walked into the castle.
"Really." The gardener complained. "Um, uncle, put me down quickly.”At this moment, Genta, who had been in his hand, spoke. " Oh, okay." He put Genta down.
The group of people walked into the castle.
"Wow, this is great. This courtyard is really big.”Mitsuhiko said as he looked at the scenery in the courtyard.
"Maye is still here." Ayumi saw a statue of a horse's head in front of her and ran over.
"Really, there's even a black one here.”Genta heard Ayumi's words and ran over. He saw a statue of a black horse's head.
"But why is it only up to the neck?”Guang Yan also walked over and asked in puzzlement.
"Those horses are called knights. They're chess pieces.”Xiao Ai explained.
"Chess?" Bu Mei was puzzled.
"There are not only chess pieces. Look at the turf below. It's even paved like a chess board.”The three of them looked at the ground. "Right? The turf here has been trimmed to look like a chessboard.”Conan explained.
"Is there someone here who likes chess?”The doctor asked the gardener.
"I don't know. I'm just following the old master's instructions to do a little trimming every day to maintain the appearance of this place. I've heard of it before. It seems to be Old Master's last words when he died fifteen years ago. Lord Zhen Zhao had never disobeyed.”The gardener looked at the children and explained to the doctor.
"You mean the old master? Then who was that person just now?" The doctor asked.
"He's Madam's second husband, Master Ah Man. Because Lord Zhen Zhao had died of illness six years ago. Our wife also died in the fire four years ago.”
"What fire?"
" Look over there." He pointed to a charred building not far away for the doctor to see." There is a charred stone tower there. That place was Madam's former bedroom. That year, Madam came back to this long-lost castle to celebrate her birthday. She had come here in the middle of the night, but the flames were already burning before dawn. It was not just Lady. The friends that Lady brought back, as well as the steward and servants who had been serving Lady for many years, were all swallowed in the fire. Only servants like me who had been hired not long ago, Lady who was sleeping in another dormitory because of a cold, Master Ah Man who came here a little earlier than Lady, and the one over there was the only son of Lady and Master Zhen Zhao, a noble young master.”As he spoke, he looked at a young man who was studying something in front of him.
"Although he returned here two or three days before the fire, I heard that he was sent abroad to study when he was young. Speaking of which, that was also the first time I met him. It was also at that time that I first met Master Ah Man. Ever since our wife remarried abroad, she has been living in that country with Master Ah Man. He did not know why the two of them had been staying in this castle ever since the fire. To us outsiders, it looks like we've fallen into a trap.”
"Speaking of which, when they first came here, they must have suffered some setbacks. You don't even know what they look like.”
"That's right. Madam has already sent back the photos of Madam's remarriage. Therefore, everyone knew what Master Ah Man looked like.”
The doctor and the gardener chatted as they walked into the castle, followed by the children.
" As for the noble young master, you see," he said, pointing to a large photo on the wall of the castle hall." He looks exactly like the dead lord.”
"This way, no matter who it is, they will be able to confirm that they are father and son.”the doctor said as he looked at the photo. The doctor looked around and asked," Who are these two portraits?”
"That's Master Zhen Zhao and Madam. Master Zhen Zhao was recruited into the family and is very respectful to the First Master, who is also a historian like him.。。”The two of them were chatting enthusiastically. "He's just a person who only knows how to talk big and doesn't do anything, right?”Suddenly, an old man's voice interrupted them.
