Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.
As soon as Sileuf finished speaking, a cloud of dust rose in the distance, and a red car drove through the manor gates and stopped in front of everyone.
Inui Shoichi, who had left earlier, also got out of the car after it came to a stop.
However, unlike before, Inui now had a backpack on his back, as if he was going on an adventure.
"I'm sorry I'm a little late," Inui said with an apologetic smile.
"Mr. Inui, we're not going camping, why are you carrying a bag?" Kogoro Mouri asked, puzzled.
As he spoke, he reached out and touched the bag that Qian Jiangyi was carrying on his back.
Upon seeing this, Inui immediately jumped away as if in response, seemingly very sensitive to Kogoro Mouri's act of touching his bag, which surprised Kogoro Mouri.
"Forehead."
Qian Jiangyi seemed to realize that he had overreacted, and coughed awkwardly, saying:
"These are some of my personal belongings. I haven't finished dealing with things over there yet. I'll need to take care of them after this is over, so I have to carry these things with me."
"Alright, I apologize for being so forward."
Kogoro Mouri withdrew his hand, losing interest, and stopped paying attention.
From behind the crowd, Yukiko quietly approached Chen Feng and whispered:
"I feel that Mr. Qian's behavior is a bit strange."
"is it?"
Chen Feng smiled and glanced at Qian Jiangyi, whose emotions and expressions were completely out of control: "Perhaps."
Upon hearing this, Yukiko rolled her eyes at Chen Feng.
This guy just loves to play hard to get, huh!
"Alright everyone, if there's nothing else, please come in."
Xia Mei smiled and addressed the crowd.
As the butler, Kuranosuke Sawabe reached out and opened the heavy castle gate, gesturing for everyone to enter.
No one minded, and they slowly walked inside.
Meanwhile, Professor Agasa finished his conversation with Conan, handed him a new pair of glasses, and watched as Conan entered the castle.
"How dare you come in, you little brat?"
Kogoro Mouri looked impatiently at Conan as he ran in, and reached out as if he wanted to grab him and throw him out.
Fortunately, Conan ran fast and hid on the other side of the crowd, avoiding Kogoro Mouri's capture.
"Alright, Dad, let Conan come along," Ran said, unable to bear it any longer.
Kogoro Mouri then gave up.
However, he turned to look at the butler, Sawabe Kuranosuke, who was standing at the door, and said, "Mr. Sawabe, could you please close the door properly in a moment and not let those brats outside in?"
"Uh, okay."
Sawabe Kuranosuke didn't ask why, he just nodded and said nothing more.
"Please come this way, everyone. I'll show you around."
Xia Mei's voice came from behind her, and she waved enthusiastically to everyone as she walked forward.
The others quickly followed.
The castle was very clean, with no dust on the ground, suggesting that it must be regularly cleaned.
"Please, everyone."
Xia Mei beckoned everyone forward and led them into a large hall.
Looking around, one could see more than a dozen sets of heavy, Western European-style iron armor gleaming coldly, standing on both sides of the hall, as if medieval knights were truly acting as solemn guards on both sides.
Xia Mei explained, "This is the Knights' Hall. My great-grandfather was a person who loved armor and knights, so he collected many complete sets of knight armor and put them here."
"It looks very solemn, it must be very expensive, right?"
Xiao Lan tentatively spoke.
“It’s really rare to see armor this well-preserved, and it must be quite expensive. I estimate a set would cost over 6 US dollars,” Sonoko said, looking around at the armor.
"Huh? How do you know so much, Sonoko?"
"Oh, my dad collected quite a few too. When I was little, I used to play with them like monsters."
Sonoko spoke casually.
This attracted the attention of others.
However, considering her status as the second young lady of the Suzuki family, it's not surprising.
"I heard that Miss Xia Mei's great-grandfather was a mechanical enthusiast. Is that true?" Chen Feng suddenly asked, immediately attracting Xia Mei's attention.
Kuranosuke Sawabe stepped forward and said, "Yes, sir is very interested in things like mechanical magic, and for a time he was known as the 'magician of the end of the century'."
"The magician of the end of the century?"
The crowd muttered to themselves.
"The magician of the end of the century? That name sounds familiar, doesn't it?" Kogoro Mouri muttered to himself, rubbing his chin.
"Huh? Didn't Kid mention this name in his previous announcement about the Egg of Memories?" Ran asked.
"Really? Could it be a coincidence?"
Kogoro Mouri said it casually and didn't take it to heart.
Upon hearing Ran's words, Conan suddenly looked up, his brows furrowing at that moment.
The thief mentioned this name too? He didn't believe in coincidences... unless he knew this place! And most likely, he'd be here again!
Thinking of this, Conan's gaze gradually became more serious. He cautiously scanned the faces and bodies of the people around him, seemingly suspecting that Kid had "disguised" himself as one of the people present and had infiltrated the area, ready to launch a surprise attack at any moment.
Of course, even after looking around twice, they couldn't find any problems, so they had no choice but to give up for the time being and start paying more attention to the behavior of the people around them to see who was the problem.
Yukiko also glanced at Chen Feng.
She seemed to... have begun to understand Chen Feng's purpose in coming here...
This was just a minor incident. After it ended, everyone continued to tour the castle, which was the same style as the one in the fairy tale "Cinderella," led by Natsumi and the butler, Sawabe Kuranosuke.
"This is the lady's room. The old lady often rests here and can sit here all day long. She says this is the most comfortable room..."
"This is the main living room, where the master and madam used to often entertain guests..."
"This is the Emperor's room, and these are the works of art that the late Master greatly admired..."
Sawabe Kuranosuke, the competent old butler, gave everyone a detailed introduction to each room.
“Excuse me, Mr. Sawabe.” Inui suddenly spoke up, interrupting Sawabe Kuranosuke who was still introducing himself.
"I'd like to ask where the restroom is; I need to use the restroom."
"Just turn left after you go out."
Sawabe Kuranosuke answered, completely unaware of the fleeting look of greed on Inui's face.
Chen Feng did notice, but he didn't say anything. Anyway, it was still early, and he wasn't in a hurry to leave, so there was no need for him to interfere.
……
Chapter 351 Not as good-looking as you
Outside the castle at this moment.
Professor Agasa was still indulging in his pointless "humor," chatting with Ayumi and the other two.
"Look, if you think of the whole castle as a giant chocolate cone, don't the four attics look like chocolate sticks stuck in it? Hahaha—"
Dr. Agasa laughed for a long time, but received no response.
Puzzled, Dr. Agasa could only turn around and say:
"How about this, let's play the most fun brain teaser game... Huh?"
Looking at the empty space behind him, Professor Agasa's voice abruptly stopped. He looked around incredulously, but found no trace of Ayumi and the other two.
At this time.
Ayumi and her two companions were excitedly exploring a slightly dark attic near the castle.
"Mitsuhiko, are you really sure you saw a fleeting figure in black around here?"
"Of course! How could I be wrong!" Mitsuhiko said confidently, while secretly glancing at Ayumi, who was cowering behind the two of them, and straightened his posture with renewed courage.
"Moreover, based on my guess, that man in black is definitely after the treasure. As members of the Junior Detective League, of course we must stop this evil deed!"
After delivering his impassioned speech, Mitsuhiko glanced at Ayumi's direction again and noticed that she seemed to be looking at him with more appreciation. He straightened his posture even more.
"Head towards the men in black, let's go!"
……
the other side.
Chen Feng and his group, who were still touring the castle, were drawn by a sudden scream.
Everyone quickly went to look for the source of the sound.
Qian Jiangyi, who had left earlier, had somehow arrived at a magnificent room. The room was decorated elegantly yet luxuriously, with many portraits hanging around it.
Of course, the most important one is Inui Shoichi, who left earlier.
At this moment, the backpack he had been carrying on his back was opened and placed aside, revealing more than a dozen different lock-picking tools inside. Meanwhile, Qian Jiang himself was locked with one hand to a hidden safe filled with gold and silver treasures, with dozens of sharp swords hanging vertically downwards above his head.
Seeing the cold glint so close to his face, Qian Jiang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He no longer cared about the gold and silver jewelry in the safe. At this moment, all he wanted to do was to pull his arm out as quickly as possible and get away from the pile of junk on his head that could kill him at any moment!
Unfortunately, he tried several times but couldn't pull his arm out; instead, the lock became tighter and tighter.
Embarrassed, Qian Jiangyi could only look to Chen Feng and the others who had just come from outside for help.
"Mr. Qian's look is quite unique."
