Conan: The Unscientific Uchiha

"Hey! Where did the kid come from and ran into someone else's house!"

Suddenly there was an irritable scolding. Koji Shimizu lowered his eyes and saw that Genta had nimbly climbed over the iron gate and broke into the courtyard at some point.

At this moment, an uncle who was a gardener lifted him up by his neck and hung him in the air. Koji Shimizu's eyes narrowed slightly, but unlike Dr. Ali and others who were panicking at the side, he was just surprised by this uncle's amazing arm strength.

"Sorry about that, we are not bad people." Dr. A Li waved his hand and apologized.

When the gardener Tabata Katsuo heard this, he turned around and looked at Dr. Agasa with an unkind and suspicious look.

"Then who are you?"

"Oh, haha, we were just passing by here, and we couldn't help but come over to take a look when we saw such a magnificent castle. Well, if possible, can you let us go in and take a look?"

Dr. Agasa's hasty request obviously did not impress the gardener Tabata who had a sharp nose and cold eyes across from him, "No, you all should get out of here quickly. This is not the place for idlers like you."

"Uh-" Dr. A Li was immediately embarrassed.

At the same time, Haiyuan Ai stood next to Qingshui Koji with his hands in his pockets, and said calmly: "It seems that he is disliked."

"Well, that's normal. However, what Conan just said should be right. Most of the time, this family is just a nouveau riche."

"Eh." Hui Yuarai was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.

The person opposite is just the gardener here, but he is so fierce and arrogant.

Although rich people will sincerely look down on outsiders and common people, even treating them like ants, but if the servants in the family are like this, it only shows that their level is far from enough.

A family that can't even discipline its servants is indeed just an ordinary nouveau riche.

Koji Shimizu naturally compared himself with Suzuki and even the people of the Tie Group. The gap between them could be clearly reflected through the training of his servants.

While the two were communicating, a middle-aged man who clearly belonged to the owner, apparently disturbed by the noise, also walked to the door.

The gardener who was about to continue driving away Dr. A Li turned around, his face suddenly turned respectful, and he said "Master".

"There shouldn't be many guests here today, right?"

Mamiya Mitsuru, who was wearing a purple suit, did not talk to Dr. Agasa at first. Although his face was much gentler than Tabata Katsuo, in fact, he was still very rude and did not pay attention to the people outside the door. In eyes.

"Yes, sir, it's just that this stupid-looking old man asked me to let them in for a visit." Tabata Katsuo pointed back.

Outside the door, Dr. Ali, who originally thought he could have a peaceful conversation after meeting his master, suddenly froze up. Even his good attitude of always being kind to others could no longer hold back for a while.

!! ?

"Hey! What do you mean by a stupid look? You rude guy, after all, I am a scientist!"

Mamiya Mitsuru, who originally smiled nonchalantly, couldn't help but be slightly startled when he heard Dr. Agasa's words. Then his eyes flashed quickly, and he stared at Dr. Agasa carefully.

The next moment, the smile on his face suddenly became much more enthusiastic.

"You are a scientist?!" Mamiya Mitsuru could not hide his surprise in his tone.

Dr. A Li felt much better when he saw his shocked and surprised reaction and his changed attitude.

He put his hand back, coughed slightly, and said proudly: "That's right. I am Dr. Ali, and I am already a somewhat famous scientist now."

"Oh~~, then you must be very smart! Tabata, open the door quickly and invite this old gentleman - and his friends in."

"Yes, sir."

Tabata Katsuo responded respectfully, then turned his head, and an ugly smile appeared on his stiff face.

Although no one said anything, no one thought there was anything wrong.

But Qingmizu Koji knew that there was already a sadly thick barrier between them.

Koji Shimizu and Ai Haihara were always at the back. At the front were the three little ones and the gardener watching them, then Conan, and then Mitsuru Mamiya who was chatting enthusiastically with Dr. Agasa.

"Sometimes I really envy them for their carelessness."

As they were walking, Haihara Ai suddenly sighed in a low voice. Koji Qingmizu followed her gaze and saw the young detective team in front of them happily running around among the chess sculptures on the lawn of the courtyard. Three people.

"You can join them too."

Qingshui Koji's words made Haihara Ai, who was feeling a little emotional, choke up. She silently rolled her eyes in a cute way, but she didn't let Qingshui Koji see it.

"I'd better forget it. I can't stand it. I can continue to play here so happily in the face of such disgusting hypocrisy."

"I have grown up once, and the world of children has excluded me."

Haiyuan Aishi gently brushed her hair. Her steps were a little lighter, like the three little ones in front of her, but the temperament around her seemed more - mature?

However, combined with her identity and experience, it should be said that it is a kind of mysterious elegance.

Just like the blonde beauty Koji Shimizu met a few days ago.

Chapter 140 Be wary of cautious cats

Qingmizu Koji stopped talking to Haibara Ai, because his attention was quickly attracted by Mamiya Mitsuru in front of him.

Of course, at the same time, there was Conan walking in front, and he silently pricked up his ears.

"If these kids like it so much, I can treat you all to stay here for a night."

"Oh! Thank you so much!" Dr. Ali couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. Of course he could drive back, but why not stay here for one night?

Seeing this, Mamiya Mitsuru smiled slightly and no longer concealed his purpose, "But there is a condition."

"condition?"

"I was hoping to use your clever mind to help me solve a mystery."

"Oh haha, no problem, I'll cover it!"

Dr. A Li was a little hesitant at first. If he wanted to pay, he didn't bring much cash. But when he heard the riddle, he glanced at Conan in front of him, then looked back at Koji Shimizu and Ai Haihara, then laughed and patted his belly generously and agreed.

Seeing this, Mamiya Mitsuru smiled with satisfaction, "Let's talk about what happens after that another time."

After saying that, he took the lead and left alone. At this time, the gardener couldn't help scolding the three little ones of the Young Detective Team again.

"You guys, be careful. You can't step on the lawn here."

"Huh?" Yuantai was immediately dissatisfied and took the opportunity to step on him a few more times.

Mitsuhiko and Ayumi were a little frightened, or rather they were more obedient, so they immediately didn't dare to move.

Conan turned around and took a look. This time he understood and helped, saying, "You guys, come out quickly. Others have mowed their lawns very carefully."

"It's a chess board—"

Hui Yuan Ai spoke calmly to herself. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Apparently she had never seen anyone mow the lawn like this.

The three little ones were soon called out. The gardener put his hands on his hips and looked a little better.

Dr. Agasa looked at the almost full-height black and white chess pieces in the yard, then looked at the chessboard, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why is it all done like this? Does your master like chess very much?"

The gardener no longer looked as arrogant as before. When asked by Dr. Ali, he answered honestly: "I don't know about this. I just do a little pruning every day according to the instructions given to me by my old master, Mr. Sadaki." , just keep the way it is here.”

"I heard that this seemed to be the elder's last words before his death fifteen years ago. Lord Zhenzhao has never violated them."

Dr. A Li frowned when he heard this, because there were already three masters in such a short time, "The master you mentioned in the past? What about the one just now?"

"Ah, that is our current master, my wife's second husband, Master Aman. Master Zhenzhao died of illness six years ago, and our wife was also burned to death in a fire four years ago."

Now it's not just Dr. Agasa, even Koji Shimizu has narrowed his eyes.

Co-author, your master is no longer your master at all.

This is the disadvantage of recruiting a wife. This Mamiya has a domineering attitude, but in reality, he is just a dove occupying a magpie's nest.

"Fire—?"

"Now, look over there, that's the scorched stone tower."

Tabata Katsuo pointed out to several people that at the left rear of the castle, there was a majestic blackened stone tower that looked like it had gone through centuries of history.

When Shimizu Koji turned his eyes away, he had a vague bad feeling, but now it turned into a cold feeling.

It was like meeting the soul of Hideaki Hosaka in Teidan before, but it was much stronger than that time.

Combined with the gardener's words, his eyes suddenly became slightly solemn.

"Hmm? What's wrong with you? Are you cold?"

Haiyuan Ai quite keenly noticed Qingshui Koji's strangeness for a moment, and raised her head to look at him.

Koji Shimizu didn't answer, he just shook his head and continued listening.

If this situation had happened in the past, Koji Shimizu would have probably turned around and left without hesitation.

Now, if he has to drag Dr. A Li and the others away, that's not impossible, but that way...

In short - Shimizu Koji no longer has to escape, nor does he intend to escape anymore.

If the world embraces him, he responds with songs; if the world kisses him with pain, he responds with death.

Whether it is for himself, for Haibara Ai who has subconsciously regarded him as a safe and trustworthy person, for future Miyano Akemi, or for other people with close relationships in the future.

In the future, he needs to face everything head-on, and then - eliminate all threats.

"That year, in order to celebrate the eldest wife's birthday, my wife went back to the long-lost stone tower. She arrived in the middle of the night, but before dawn that day, tongues of fire shot into the sky."

"And at that time, it wasn't just the madam who was there. Her friends that the madam brought back with her, as well as the stewards and servants who had been serving the eldest madam for many years, more than ten people, all died in the fire."

There seemed to be some emotion in Tabata Katsuo's words. As he spoke, he led everyone to move forward.

"The only people in this family who escaped that disaster were the eldest lady who was sleeping in another dormitory at the time, and a newly hired servant like me, Mr. Aman."

"Oh, and there's that one over there, the only son of my wife and Mr. Zhenzhao, Mr. Guiren."

Dr. Conan Agasa, Haibara Ai, and Shimizu Koji all turned their heads and saw a rather young-looking man squatting on the lawn, looking up and down at a white chess piece.

Shimizu Koji just glanced at it and then looked away, and then for the first time today, he took the initiative to talk: "Wait a minute, you just said that the eldest lady is sleeping in another dormitory?"

His words also made the other three people react. Just now Tabata Katsuo said that his wife went to the stone tower to celebrate the eldest wife's birthday. How come the eldest wife is still alive?

"Ah, that is said to be because the eldest lady felt unwell that night and returned to the castle to rest early, leaving the place for the lady and her friends to continue celebrating."

Tabata Katsuo gave a reasonable explanation, but Shimizu Koji also paid attention, because not only the stone tower, he already felt that the atmosphere here was not so right.

Ever since——Mamiya Mitsuru told Dr. Agasa that he wanted him to solve a puzzle.

The special chess lawn, the instructions of the old man who died young, the last words of the great old man, and the young master studying the chess pieces.

Qingshui Koji was silent, took his hand out of his pocket, and dropped it in front of Haiyuan Ai's eyes.

Just like an adult gesturing to a child to hold hands, Koji Shimizu only acted subconsciously and did not remind Haibara Ai at all.

And Haihara Ai was stunned for several seconds. He looked up and saw the contemplative eyes of Qingshui Koji, and finally put his little hand in again.

Anyway, it's not the first time.

Although the feeling this time seems to be even more different than last time.

Haiyuan Ai felt the warmth coming from Qing Shuihao's second hand. She was a little absent-minded, but it was not because of this.

"What did you find again?"

"Huh?" Qingshui Koji came back to his senses, lowered his head and saw her eyes that suddenly became worried, and her soft little hand that had already run into his own.

"Um, it's nothing." Qingshui Koji shook his head lightly, and Haihara Ai's eyes suddenly became more confused.

Shimizu Koji wouldn't say that he just felt his hands were a little warm and took them out for some airing, nor would he say that it was because when he went to visit Mingmei recently, he held her little hand so many times that it became a habit.

He has gradually figured out Hui Yuan Ai's habits.

This guy is also very good at association, or in other words, he is very careful.

If Koji Shimizu said that he did it unintentionally, then Haibara, in shame and anger, might think that Koji Shimizu was teasing her on purpose, and then give him a fierce boomerang impact one day in the future.

But as long as he doesn't say anything, nothing happens.

Chapter 141 I want to get up with you

Everyone was quickly taken to visit the interior of the castle, and as soon as they entered the spacious first-floor hall, a huge painting hanging on the opposite wall attracted everyone's attention.

"That is Mr. Zhenzhao. Look, the noble young master just now looks almost the same as him. This is the fundamental reason why we can directly confirm the identity of the noble young master who has been studying abroad."

"Oh——, it does look very similar."
