Chapter 651: Puzzles in the castle

On March 20, Saturday, afternoon, Hachioji City, Dr. Akasa's car.
　　 The three people of Bumei in the back row were talking about camping enthusiastically, while Conan was bored and drowsy. Huihara in the passenger seat looked at the outside scenery all the way, and then found that the car had entered Kaminkata Town.
　　 Huihara asked, "Hey, are you going to that evening camp?"
　　 "No, camping, of course it was in the wild." Dr. Aka smiled.
　　 "Where is that?" Huihara asked.
　　 "Uh, slow, look for it slowly." Dr. A Li was a little embarrassed, obviously he had no plan.
　　 More than ten minutes later, Dr. Aka drove the car off the road and entered the mountainous areas of Mount Takao and Jinma in the Tama Hills.
　　 More than ten minutes later, Dr. Aka noticed that a clearing by the water looked suitable, so he drove the car over.
　　 As soon as the car stopped, the three people of Bu Mei, who could not wait, rushed out of the car. Huihara got out of the car and followed up, while Dr. Aka opened the trunk and got out of the car to get things.
After getting out of the car, Conan took a deep breath and stretched. He inadvertently found that Dr. A Li was stunned, so he asked worriedly: "What's the matter, Doctor? You don't want to tell me that you forgot to bring something important. Right?"
　　 "This, huh..." Dr. Aka laughed dryly.
　　 "What did you forget to bring?" Conan asked helplessly, "Can you make do with it?"
　　 "It's a tent." Huihara said without looking back looking at the fish in the stream.
　　 "Huh?" The four detectives were taken aback.
　　 "No way?" Conan laughed.
　　 Yuanta asked, "You will forget the most important tent when you come out to camp?"
　　 "What should I do then?" Mitsuhiko asked.
　　 "Do you want to go back?" Bu Mei asked worriedly.
　　 "It's not necessary." Huihara said, "There is a campsite on the mountain. You can definitely rent a tent there."
　　 So the group got back into the car and headed to the Yuyaki Koyaki Campground. This time, Huihara sat in the back row. ...
　　 More than an hour later, Dr. Ari's car.
　　 Conan asked the driver, Dr. Akasa, "Where are we now?"
　　 "This, uh," said Dr. Aka, "in the mountains."
　　 "Of course this is in the mountains." Genta said, "There are woods all around."
　　 "The road is still a dirt road." Mitsuhiko said.
　　 "Are we lost?" Ayumi asked worriedly.
　　 Dr. A Li whispered: "It's not all because you guys are chatting around."
　　 Conan sighed, "It looks like we have to fall asleep in the car tonight."
　　 "No way?" Mitsuhiko asked worriedly, "There must be a hotel or something on this road?"
　　 Ayumi said, "Yes, yes, it's best to see the castle on the lake."
　　 "How is it possible, in such a deep mountain." Conan said angrily.
　　 "Ha," Huihara looked out the window and smiled, "It doesn't seem to be impossible."
　　 Everyone looked in the direction that Hui Yuan was looking, and found that there was a blue tower in the distance, and as the car drew closer, a large blue castle slowly appeared in front of everyone.
　　 In front of the villa.
　　 Ayumi said excitedly. "It's spectacular!"
　　 Mitsuhiko asked, "But, how come there are such buildings in the forest?"
　　 Huiyuan said: "The upstarts in the 1980s are all unreasonable."
　　 "What?" Yuanta didn't understand.
　　 "It should be a vacation villa developed by a rich man." Conan helped explain.
　　 "Does anyone live now?" Yuanta looked in between the bars of the iron fence gate, and found no one, and exclaimed excitedly, "Go!" She climbed to the door.
　　 Dr. Ari called out, "Hey, Genta, what do you want to do? Come down quickly."
　　 "Of course I want to go inside and open the door." Yuanta said, riding on the door, and then climbed down, wanting to break in.
　　At this time, a middle-aged gardener-like person came over and picked up Yuanta. "This is a private place, but you are not a kid, you can just go around."
　　 "No, no, we are not bad guys." Dr. Aka said quickly.
　　The gardener brought Genta to the door, and asked Dr. Ari across the fence, "Huh? Who are you?"
　　 "We just saw this gorgeous castle when we were passing by here, so we came over to take a look when we were curious." Dr. Aka asked, "If it is convenient, can we go in for a visit?"
　　The gardener said: "No, no, this is not a place for you outsiders to visit casually."
　　 At this time, a middle-aged man in casual clothes came over, "Tian?, who are these people? I remember there are no guests coming over today, right?"
　　 Tian? The gardener said: "Uncle Man, the old man with an idiot face said he wants to come in and visit."
　　 "What! Who do you think looks like an idiot?" Dr. Aka said, "I'm a scientist!"
　　 "Scientist?" Uncle Man asked confirmingly.
　　 Dr. A Li touched his beard, raised his head and said, "Yes, my name is Dr. A Li, and I am a small well-known inventor."
"So, your mind should be smarter than ordinary people like us?" Aunt Man muttered to himself, touching his chin, and then said, "Okay, then please come in, if you don't dislike it, just stay for the night. ."
　　 "Huh?" Dr. Aka said happily, "Thank you so much."
　　 "But, Uncle Man," said the gardener, "I haven't discussed this with the old lady."
　　 "If Mom asks, then you tell her that they are my friends." Aunt Man said, "Mom is already like that, and this reason is enough to perfuse her." Then he turned and left.
　　 "Really." The field gardener whispered.
　　 "Hey, uncle, can you put me down," Yuanta said helplessly.
　　 "Oh, okay." Tian Gardener put down Genta, then opened the door to let Dr. Aka and his party come in, and led them inside.
　　 Everyone found that there was a chess game on the right side of the courtyard. Using the lawn as a chessboard, using one-person-high chess pieces, Bumei and three curiously ran over, look here, and touch there.
　　 Dr. Ari asked Tian? The gardener asked, "Does anyone here like chess very much?"
"God knows, I just followed the instructions of my former uncle, that is, Uncle Zhao, to do a little tidying up every day to maintain this as it is." Tian Gardener said, "I heard that this is the death of the old master who died ten years ago. Explain? Uncle Zhao's."
　　 "You mean the ex?" Dr. Aka asked, "What about the one just now?"
"Oh, he is the second husband of the young lady, the uncle Man who came to my family." Tian Gardener said, "Uncle Zhao died of illness a few years ago. It's almost ten years. I can't remember it. Passed away in a fire a few years ago."
　　 "Fire?" Dr. Aka asked.
"Look at the burnt-down tower on the left side of the courtyard. It used to be the young lady's bedroom." The gardener said, "It was the eve of the old lady's birthday, and the young lady brought friends back to celebrate the old lady's birthday and gathered in her bedroom. Discussing the program, but in the middle of the night, I don’t know what’s going on, it burns up. Miss, the friends she brought back, the servants and chefs who were called to listen to the plan for many years to serve the old lady, etc. There are more than a dozen people. Did not come back. The subordinates in the family survived by chance, only me, an unrelated person who worked as a gardener. The only survivors in the Mamiya family were the old lady who could not listen to his birthday plan, and the man who had not rushed back. Uncle and noble master."
　　 Conan asked, "Hey, didn't you hear the cry for help? You shout on the tower, it should be possible to spread far away?"
"The police have also asked this question, but I have always slept very deep." The Tian Gardener said, and then pointed to a passing young man, "He is the noble young master, by the way, he was born to the young lady and Uncle Zhao. Don’t be mistaken for his only child."
　　 "I see, I will pay attention to this." Dr. Aka said.
"The young lady's family used to live abroad all the time. It wasn't until the old master passed away that she moved back to take care of the old lady. However, the noble and young master stayed abroad because of their studies, so the lady and Uncle Zhao often ran away. After her death, the young lady also met Uncle Man abroad. After the fire, Uncle Man moved back, and the noble young master also returned after graduating from university." The gardener laughed, "Speaking of which, Uncle Man and the noble young master were after the fire. When I returned, the police had doubted their identities. At that time, the old lady was irritated and hospitalized, and I never saw them."
　　 "Of course." Dr. Aka said with a smile, "This family business does not seem to be a small amount."
　　 Conan asked: "How is that confirmed?"
　　 "You know when you look at this." The field gardener pushed open the door of the main building of the villa, and a three-meter-high portrait came into the eyes of everyone. In the painting was the head of a man.
　　 Ayumi said, "What a big picture."
"The young master noble and the deceased old master looked like they were printed out in the same mold, so it was confirmed at once," said the gardener. "The police believed what the young master said. Coming back, her wedding photo with Uncle Man."
　　 Looking at the portraits on the walls on both sides, Dr. Aka asked, "Which are on the two sides?"
　　 "Uncle Zhao and Miss." The gardener said, "Uncle Zhao, who has entered the family, respects the historian, but because of this, Miss often quarrels with him..."
　　 "Quarrel?" Conan asked.
　　 "My dad is just a pseudo-intellectual who is full of reasoning and abandoning his writings to go to business, right?" An old voice came over, an old woman in a wheelchair, wearing a skirt, and came over.
　　 "Ah! Old lady!" The field gardener was embarrassed.
　　 "You master all know these words, but he didn't feel angry because of it, but was happy." The old lady said, "It is because of this that the master hung them up like this, wanting to see when they can make a noise."
　　 Tian? The gardener said: "Yes, I'm sorry, it reminds you of these sad past..."
"Don't be so nervous, I have long been used to this castle without him. Just like the change in the size of banknotes and passports, I still need to adapt at the beginning. Over time, the strange feeling will gradually fade. "The old lady said with emotion, "Time is really terrifying, whether it is sad or happy, it can be wiped out."
　　 "People can't fight against time. If you deliberately reverse it, you will be punished." Huihara muttered to himself.
　　 "Uh, what are you talking about?" Conan next to him heard it, but didn't understand it, but Huihara didn't answer him, and didn't know if he heard it.
　　 The old lady asked Tian? The gardener: "Right, who are these people?"
　　 Tian? The gardener quickly pointed to Dr. A Li and said, "Oh~EbookFREE.me~ He is a friend of Man's uncle, like a scientist."
　　 "Hello, this is Dr. Aka." Dr. Aka said.
　　 "Doctor? Scientist?" said the old lady, "It's really exciting. Please try to help solve the mystery my husband left in this castle."
　　 "Mystery?" Dr. Aka asked the Tian Gardener.
　　 Tian? The gardener said: "It seems that the elder said before his death, "I will give him my favorite baby who can solve the mystery of the castle."
　　 "That's it," Dr. Aka said.
　　 "By the way, my daughter hasn't come back yet?" the old lady asked, "to celebrate my birthday, she should be here today?"
　　 "Huh? No, old lady..." Tian? The gardener didn't know how to answer.
　　 "When she arrives, tell her to come to my room immediately." The old lady smiled, "I'm really looking forward to it." She turned her wheelchair and left.
　　 "This is?" Dr. Aka asked.
　　 Tian? The gardener sighed: "The old lady has always been like this since the fire. The doctor said it was because of the overstimulation."
　　 "That's how it is," Dr. Aka said sympathetically.
　　 Conan asked, "Uncle, is there any room where I can see all the chess pieces in the courtyard?"
　　 "A room where you can see the chess pieces in the yard? The one on the right side of the third floor is fine." said the field gardener.
　　 "Thank you." Conan ran away immediately, Bu Mei and the three hurriedly chased after him, and Hui Yuan followed.
　　 "Let's go, I'll show you the room," the field gardener asked Dr. Ari, "how many rooms do you want?"
　　 "Uh, let's take a look at this first." Dr. Aka said. ……;
