The bearded middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he heard Dr. A'li's self-introduction.
Then, he introduced them enthusiastically.
"Oh, so it's Dr. A'li. I've heard people mention him a long time ago. Dr. A'li is a very powerful scientist in Japan.”
Conan, who was beside him, glanced at the middle-aged man with the mustache. His flattery was too fake.
Had he heard someone mention it a long time ago? He had heard the ghost mention it before. The doctor was only a little famous in the small circle of the scientific community.
However, it had not reached the level of a country yet.
"Haha, I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. I'm only a little famous.”Dr. A'li, of course, knew that the man was flattering him.
However, he couldn't help but feel happy.
"And this is?" The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Li.
"This is Brother Jiang Li, he's a police officer!”The youth court of death group said collectively.
Jiang Li smiled at him.
"Oh, if that's the case, then you're welcome.”The middle-aged man smiled.
The police must have a good brain.
The middle-aged man with a mustache, Jian Gongman, thought.
"Come, please come in, please come in." Jian Gongman led everyone into the castle.
.....
"Wow, what's that over there? Is it a horse?"
Five minutes later, Bu Mei shouted excitedly in the green castle. Not far from her, there was a pile of strange statues placed on the lawn in a disorderly manner.
"It's true. There's even a black horse." Genta shouted excitedly as well. At the same time, he rushed over and hugged a horse-shaped statue.
"But why do these horses only have upper bodies and no lower bodies?”Mitsuhiko followed behind and asked curiously.
"These horses are called knights, and they are chess pieces in chess.”Haihara Ai answered his question.
"Hey! A chess piece? Why did they make it so big and put it outside?”Mitsuhiko was even more curious.
"Not only these chess pieces, but the lawn under your feet has also been paved into a chessboard.”Conan gestured for everyone to look at the lawn under their feet.
"It's true. The grass under this white chess piece is lighter in color, but the grass under the black chess piece is darker.”Everyone followed Conan's words and looked at the lawn under their feet. They were surprised to find that the lawn had been trimmed into small squares, and the colors were different.
While the teenage detectives were chatting,
Jiang Li looked around a castle in the distance and his eyes sparkled.
As expected, where there was Conan, there would be a case.
There were dozens of souls surrounding the castle, but they were somewhat incomplete.
Haihara Ai noticed that Jiang Li was looking at the castles, so he pulled his clothes.""Why? Is there something wrong with that castle?”
" Yes." Jiang Li nodded." There is indeed a problem."”
When Haihara was about to ask what it was, Jiang Li interrupted her.
"You don't need to know."
Xiao Ai looked at Jiang Li angrily.
"Hey, do you like chess here too?”Professor Ali suddenly asked.
Jiang Li's thoughts were cleared up by Dr. A'li's question.
"I don't know about that. Although I mowed the lawn, I only mowed it a little every day according to the instructions of my old master, Mister Zhen Zhao.”At this moment, Mamiya Man had already left, leaving only the gardener here to take care of everyone.
"The old master? Mr. Sadaaki? Then who was the master just now?"
"That was Master Ah Man just now. He's the eldest's second husband. Madam's first husband was Mr. Zhen Zhao.”When he said this, the man in the gardener's uniform lowered his voice a little. It was obvious that he did not want anyone to hear him talking about this behind his back.
"Hey! Then who was the owner of this castle?”Everyone was a little surprised to hear the words of the man in the gardener's uniform. It seemed that this castle did not belong to the middle-aged man with the mustache just now.
"Theoretically, the owner of this place should be Master Ah Man's mother-in-law.”When he said this, the man in the gardener's uniform was a little hesitant.
"Master Ah Man's mother-in-law?" Everyone was even more puzzled. Why was there another mother-in-law?
"Yes, the original owner of this place was the First Master. After the First Master passed away, this castle belonged to the First Lady. However, the First Lady never managed the castle, so the actual manager of this castle was Madam's first husband, Master Zhen Zhao. Then, Master Zhen Zhao passed away due to illness, and Madam married into Master Ah Man. The current manager of this castle is Master Ah Man.”
First Master, First Lady, Lady, Master Zhen Zhao, Master Ah Man! Everyone was almost confused by the complicated interpersonal relationships in this castle.
"Speaking of which, First Madam is already so old. Especially because of the fire a few years ago, she has become a little abnormal. I don't think she can hold on for long.”The man in the gardener's uniform couldn't hold back his chatter.
"The fire a few years ago?" Conan's eyes narrowed. Compared to the past, he was more interested in various accidents.
"Yeah, look at that tower over there.”The man in the gardener's uniform pointed at a place not far from the left side of the castle.
Jiang Li also looked at the castle.
Everyone turned to look at the place he was pointing at and realized that there was a charred stone tower on the left side of the castle. That stone tower should be part of the castle. Although it had been burnt black, they could still vaguely see that it was made of the same material as the castle, green stone bricks.
Hui Yuanai was shocked. How did Jiang Li know that the castle had an accident?
Since he came in, Jiang Li's attention was mostly on the castle.
Haihara was in disbelief. Did he have the ability to predict the future?
Could it be that he already knew my identity?
At the thought of this, Haihara was both happy and sad.
As the gardener's voice sounded, Haihara Ai shook his head. He must have thought too much. How could he predict the future?
He must have seen the police files.
"That stone tower is Madam's bedroom. Madam had been living abroad ever since Master Zhen Zhao passed away. Madam also met Master Ah Man when she was abroad. But that year, on Eldest Madam's birthday, Madam specially returned to this castle that she hadn't returned for many years and held a birthday party for Eldest Madam in that stone tower. However, she didn't expect that a fire would break out that day.”
" That morning, the stone tower suddenly caught on fire. Madam unfortunately died in the fire. Not only Madam, but also the friends Madam brought with her. All these years, they had been serving Lady Wang's butler and servants. A total of more than ten people died in the fire. The only ones who escaped were servants like me who had just arrived, and Lady Wang who was resting in the castle because of a cold.”
At the mention of the fire, the man in the gardener's uniform was a little glad and…He was secretly glad that he was not among those who were burned to death. He was secretly glad that all the senior servants in the castle were burned to death. It did not take long for him to be put in an important position.
While everyone was listening to the story, Jiang Li had finished devouring the souls in the castle.
At the same time, he was also thinking about how many people had been burned to death in the castle.
Those were people. No matter what, those old servants were familiar with the environment here. They really wouldn't be trapped to death.
"Such a coincidence?" Conan exclaimed.
After listening to the gardener's description, he felt that something was wrong. This castle had an unknown secret.
