Chapter 148 A Mediocre Ending
Following Shimizu Koji, Huihara Ai gradually felt something was wrong. The castle was still very deserted at this time, and there were almost only the footsteps of the two of them in the corridor.
And the direction that Shimizu Koji was heading now, if Huihara Ai remembered correctly, was the rest area for the owner of the castle.
But she suppressed her doubts and followed silently until Shimizu Koji stopped and knocked on a door.
"This, Kudo was arrested by the people here?"
Before there was a response from the door, Huihara Ai's expression had become a little solemn. Although she couldn't understand Shimizu Koji's behavior, she could probably guess it vaguely at this time.
"Well, it's kind of, but it can't be said to be all."
Shimizu Koji said something inexplicable, and Huihara Ai couldn't help but frowned, but before she could ask more questions, a hoarse voice came from the room.
"Who is it?"
The eldest wife's voice is actually very easy to identify, but now it sounds full of energy, and it seems that she is still suppressing a trace of anger. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be because of waking up.
But this also made Huiyuan Ai immediately realize that something was wrong. The angry questioning of the eldest lady in the room did not sound like the voice of a 70-80-year-old lady.
"Xiao Ai, do you know about plastic surgery?"
"Huh?"
Huiyuan Ai was stunned when she heard the words, but it was not that she did not hear clearly or did not know about plastic surgery, but she was a little surprised and surprised by Shimizu Koji's address.
Since her identity was exposed, Shimizu Koji rarely called her like this, especially when they were alone together.
And Shimizu Koji did not answer the question of the eldest lady in the room, but continued to talk to her casually: "As far as I know, plastic surgery is now popular among women, but most women often want to make themselves younger and more beautiful."
Huiyuan Ai's pupils gradually dilated. She was very smart. Combining Shimizu Koji's words and the people in the room, it was not difficult for her to guess Shimizu Koji's implication, although she did not know why the person in the room did so.
"It seems that you have already guessed it."
Kouji Shimizu smiled faintly, and his voice stopped abruptly, because when he spoke, the sound of a wheelchair sliding in the room was heard.
She worked so hard~.
The eldest wife opened the door with a gloomy face, her eyes were bloodshot, and she was about to spit fire. She wanted to scold the blind servant who dared to disturb her early in the morning--
"I have solved the puzzle left by the master."
The eldest wife's face was as ugly as eating shit when she opened the door, but almost the moment she saw Koji Shimizu and heard him speak, her eyes flashed, and she almost stood up excitedly.
"Ah, you, uh, no, no, you, you solved the puzzle--!"
The eldest wife swallowed her saliva, and most of her rationality dissipated instantly.
She no longer thought about the cause and effect, but just looked at Koji Shimizu, like an old dog wagging its tail to beg for food.
This eldest wife was the first person who made Koji Shimizu feel a little disgusted--
That's why Shimizu Koji didn't choose to kill her with a knife.
Because instead of killing her with a knife, it's better to let her see with her own eyes the treasure she had dreamed of for twenty years.
Recalling what he saw on the top of the tower last night, Shimizu Koji felt that the interesting treasure might make her more painful and desperate than killing the eldest wife.
Without looking at her old face, and Huiyuan Ai subconsciously approached his legs, Shimizu Koji pulled Huiyuan Ai and the eldest wife past each other and walked into the room.
Although the eldest wife was a little confused, she lost her mind, or rather, she was shocked and frightened to face the reality when she saw Shimizu Koji skillfully walk to her bedside and twist the mechanism, and she still just stared at Shimizu Koji's back.
And without letting her wait any longer, Shimizu Koji told her the answer, "It's in the hall, behind the portrait of the eldest master."
As Shimizu Koji said, he twisted a table lamp on the eldest wife's bedside table.
The secret passage beside the bed slowly opened, and when he finished speaking, the wife outside the door had already disappeared, leaving only an empty wheelchair.
In the corridor, you can still hear her excited staggering footsteps.
Huihara Ai had been keeping her eyes wide open since just now, and when she saw the wife suddenly ejected from the wheelchair, she was stunned in an instant.
It was only when Shimizu Koji reached out to her that she came back to her senses and turned her head to look at the dark secret passage.
"You, how did you know?"
Huihara Ai asked, while putting her hand in Shimizu Koji's hand.
Shimizu Koji did not answer immediately, but turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, and then pulled her into the secret passage.
Huihara Ai's hand was very soft and small, and Shimizu Koji was used to the touch.
But today Shimizu Koji had a vague feeling of difference, but he didn't care or think about what was different.
Five minutes later, the two saw a pile of bones in the underground passage. Huihara Ai bent down, and Shimizu Koji turned on the light. She looked at the handwriting on the floor tiles that was almost scratched out with fingernails, and fell silent.
This was a tragic case of a slave devouring his master.
Shimizu Koji also took the initiative to explain: "In fact, it is easy to see without these. Her legs and feet, her voice, have too many flaws."
"It's just that we only met her once at the beginning, so we didn't pay much attention to her."
"After all, her way of aging herself for decades is as incredible as you becoming a child."
This time, Haibara Ai didn't care about what Shimizu Koji mentioned about children. She slowly straightened up, and her voice was still a little unbelievable: "She burned all the owners here to death?"
Although Haibara Ai thought that she had been in the organization for many years and was already a cold-blooded creature accustomed to killing and life and death, she couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Yes, for the so-called puzzle."
And Shimizu Koji was actually in a very relaxed mood. Except that the eldest lady just now made him a little disgusted, now, his tone was still very calm, even with a hint of teasing.
Haibara Ai also heard the hidden meaning of his words, so she turned her head and looked at him curiously: "What is the answer."
"I don't know, but I can be sure that it's not what she wants."
Shimizu Koji shook his head, without saying much, and without explaining.
He knew it. He flew up and saw it last night, but if he told Haibara Ai now, it would be a little difficult to explain.
And then, there was no surprise. They found Conan with super vitality.
However, when Shimizu Koji returned to the castle with the unconscious Conan and Haibara Ai, although it was still early in the morning, the castle was already in chaos.
"The eldest wife is dead!"
"The eldest wife fell to her death!"
Twenty minutes later, the Mamiya family, Dr. Agasa, and the members of the Junior Detective Team all gathered on the roof of the secret passage of the castle.
Mamiya Mitsuru and Mamiya Takato looked at the words on the iron gate with emotion. They had different thoughts, but on the surface, they both wore very reluctant and relieved smiles.
Although they felt cold all over and empty inside, they were different from the old woman after all. They still had the right to inherit the castle and the Mamiya family's property.
Treasures were just icing on the cake, or it could be said that it was a common understanding between them - whoever found it would own it.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the two strangers to get along like a loving father and a filial son for four years, after all, there was no gay love.
"It's really unexpected. The master really left behind an extremely precious treasure. It's just a pity that the wife must be a little too excited." Dr. Agasa sighed sincerely, and the three members of the Junior Detective Team nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, the scenery here is really beautiful. You can see the mountains in the distance!" Ayumi leaned against the window, her eyes bright, and pointed to the distance.
"Alas, it's a pity for that old lady." Mitsuhiko said with some regret.
What Dr. Agasa and his friends didn't expect was that their extremely precious and regretful words once again deeply hurt the hearts of Mamiya Mitsuru and Mamiya Takato. They were actually very "excited".
"Ahaha, yes, I really didn't expect that the master actually left us such a precious treasure." Mamiya Mitsuru smiled and continued.
After hearing this, Shimizu Koji couldn't help but look at him more, and then casually followed and echoed: "Yes, such a scenery, I think, if measured by money, it should be worth more than 500,000 US dollars."
"Uh-." Mamiya Mitsuru paused after hearing this.
His money had been withdrawn last night, and when Shimizu Koji reminded him unintentionally, he instantly felt his heart bleeding.
"Ha-ha, that's right, that's right"
At this time, Conan, who was rarely absent from the scene, was in Dr. Agasa's car and had not woken up yet.
And this camping trip ended harmoniously.
The eldest wife died as the eldest wife, and any conspiracy was annihilated without being exposed.
The sun was shining, and after a rough breakfast in the castle, everyone set off on the return journey.
