Tabata Katsuo was startled and turned around to greet her. "Grand Madam!"
"Actually, the child's father also knew about this," Mamiya Masuyo said to herself in an old person's slow and nostalgic tone. "But he wasn't angry, instead he was very happy..."
"I'm so sorry!" Tabata Katsuo quickly apologized. "I shouldn't have let Grand Madam remember these things from the past."
"You don't need to be too nervous," Mamiya Masuyo looked up at the portrait hanging on the wall. "I've gotten used to the days when he is not around. Just like the change in the size of banknotes and passports, I was not used to it at first, but after a long time, I felt nothing strange. Time is a very terrible thing, all joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness will pass with time..."
Chi Feichi looked at Mamiya Masuyo. During the time he lived here, he had also observed Mamiya Masuyo's words and deeds, and there were no mistakes at all. Unexpectedly, she showed her true colors as soon as Conan came.
Does she want to talk more with outsiders? Or is she influenced by 'Conan's logic'?
Mamiya Masuyo also noticed that Chi Feichi was looking at her, but she was used to the uncomfortable cold gaze of this boy. "By the way, who are they?"
"This is Master's scientist friend," Tabata Katsuo said. "He brought these little children to visit."
"Scientist?" Mamiya Masuyo's focus was the same as Mamiya Mitsuru's. She got excited, then realized she was a little out of control, and quickly calmed down her tone. "That's really great. I want to ask you to help solve the mystery left by my husband and see what mysteries he buried in this castle."
"Mystery?" Professor Agasa was puzzled.
Tabata Katsuo explained, "I heard that the old master left a last wish before he died to send the treasure to the person who solved the castle puzzle."
"By the way," Mamiya Masuyo looked towards the door. "Has my daughter arrived yet?"
"Ah?" Tabata Katsuo sweated.
"Didn't we agree that she would come back to celebrate my birthday?" Mamiya Masuyo pushed her wheelchair away. The speed was very fast, and the tone was also full of joy. "When she arrives, let her come to my room. I will see my daughter soon!"
Tabata Katsuo remembered the fear dominated by the strange things in the castle day by day, and sighed weakly. "Since the fire, Grand Madam has become like this..."
Professor Agasa sighed with emotion. "I think she must have suffered a great blow."
"Master Mitsuru is really not easy." Tabata Katsuo finished the rest of the sentence.
Professor Agasa: "..."
Their minds seem not to be on the same channel?
Conan was obviously more interested in the puzzle. He leaned close to Chi Feichi and pulled the corner of Chi Feichi's clothes. Seeing Chi Feichi looking over, he looked up and asked, "Brother Chi, have you not solved the puzzle?"
Since the other party was unlikely to be a member of that organization, he didn't need to be too cautious, and he still recognized Chi Feichi's ability.
The difference between genius and madman is only one step. It's probably about this kind of person.
Chi Feichi shook his head. "I'm not interested in treasure."
Conan sweated. Generally, people should be interested in treasure. This guy is indeed not an ordinary person. "Then is there any room where you can clearly see those chess pieces in the yard?"
"I'll take you there." Chi Feichi turned to lead the way.
Conan: "..."
He didn't even need to suggest it, the other party understood what he wanted to do next. This guy's understanding of human psychology cannot be underestimated...
Arriving at the third floor, the three children of the Junior Detective League and Conan squeezed by the window to see the chess pieces in the yard.
Haibara Ai pulled the corner of Chi Feichi's clothes.
Chi Feichi looked down. "Little children seem to like pulling people's clothes?"
Haibara Ai had black lines on her head. "If I could pat your shoulder, would I pull the clothes?"
"No, I wanted to say that suddenly pulling my clothes is an unsafe behavior," Chi Feichi explained.
Feichi also cooperated very well and poked his head out from the cuff, staring at Haibara Ai and flickering his snake tongue. He had heard the words of the group just now. "Master, these five little brats and that old man are not bad, but the brat with glasses speaks a little unpleasantly. What do you mean by being a little worse than Holmes? No matter who that Holmes is, Master won't be worse than him, okay..."
Chi Feichi: "..."
No, for Conan, a fan of Holmes, this should be a very high evaluation...
Haibara Ai stared at Feichi who kept flickering his snake tongue, petrified in place, secretly estimating how far her hand was from this snake just now.
Over there, Conan had already taken photos of the chess pieces in the yard with his mobile phone and was sitting by the window studying them. Hearing the conversation between the two, he also couldn't help being curious. Looking up, he saw the snake head emerging from Chi Feichi's sleeve at a glance: "..."
He also pulled Chi Feichi's clothes just now!
If at that time, he just startled this snake to give him a bite, the picture is too beautiful, he dared not imagine...
Also, also pulling clothes, why remind Haibara Ai but not remind him? Is there such differential treatment?
"My pet, named Feichi," Chi Feichi thought for a while, still added. "It generally doesn't bite."
Feichi looked at Haibara Ai who stared at it dumbfoundedly, and said again, "This little girl is really interesting, silly and dull, but her skin is quite smooth, which is also considered good-looking in our snake eyes. It's a pity that she has no scales..."
Chi Feichi silently pressed Feichi's head back into the sleeve. How can humans grow scales all over their bodies?
As for Haibara Ai being silly and dull?
He felt that Haibara Ai's lethality against Feichi would be greater than Kuroba Kaito's. At best, prepare some realgar. If provoked, a bottle of sulfuric acid goes down, Feichi will not even leave a whole body...
Haibara Ai looked up at Chi Feichi, her eyes complex. "Very... very special pet."
Apart from this, what can she say?
She likes small animals, but mainly those fluffy, round and cute things, not including snakes, long strip-shaped things covered with cold scales and looking slippery.
"Actually, Feichi is quite good-looking." Chi Feichi said a word for Feichi.
Don't know if his own pet looks handsome no matter how he looks at it, or he looks at the snake so much that he doesn't feel awkward. He thinks Feichi is black and gray, but the black is pure, and the gray has a little pale white. Under the luster of the scales, it also has some appearance.
Moreover, Feichi's eyes are still black. Occasionally, he shows his head, and a snake face looks even more dull than Haibara Ai's expression just now...
Haibara Ai nodded reluctantly. "Cough... count, count it."
"By the way, what did you want to say to me just now?" Chi Feichi asked.
"I wanted to ask..." Haibara Ai's sight drifted away. "What disease did you have before?"
Chi Feichi had nothing to hide. "Split personality, one personality has severe depression, the other..."
"Ah!"
Genta, who ran to the next room sometime, let out a scream.
Conan poked his head out for a look and quickly ran out of the room.
Chi Feichi also followed, but when he arrived at the next room, only Genta and Mitsuhiko who were tired were there, but Conan who ran over was gone.
Haibara Ai also followed Chi Feichi. "Where is Edogawa?"
Genta looked around blankly. "Conan was here just now..."
"What happened?" Ayumi also followed.
Mitsuhiko was completely confused. "Conan suddenly disappeared..."
Haibara Ai noticed the fallen chairs, scattered books all over the floor, and the opened clock cover. She stretched out her hand to pull Chi Feichi's clothes, then remembered Feichi, and froze again.
"I know," Chi Feichi didn't look down at Haibara Ai, but looked at Tabata Katsuo, Mamiya Takahito and Professor Agasa who came towards the door. His voice was pressed very low. "If you open the secret door here, you will see the signal in the bedroom of the former castle owner's wife and king. Don't touch randomly. When everyone goes to the restaurant later, I will go find him. Don't run around, and don't enter the door that suddenly opens."
Haibara Ai's heart sank, and her expression also became heavier. "This castle is really not simple."
"Just don't get caught one by one," Chi Feichi said. "By the way, except for Mamiya Takahito, be wary of others, and don't mention calling the police in front of them."
Although Mamiya Mitsuru didn't do anything in the story, it was obvious that Mamiya Mitsuru also lived here for the treasure. With him, it is very likely to change the original trajectory, so still need to be wary.
As for Tabata Katsuo and other servants...
Human nature cannot stand the test!
Haibara Ai was somewhat worried, but still maintained her composure and asked in a low voice, "Is that Mr. Mamiya Takahito trustworthy..."
"Trustworthy," Chi Feichi had also understood Mamiya Takahito's personality during this period. "Pure and harmless, but poor in action, indecisive, and easy to make a fool of himself."
Haibara Ai: "..."
Such a sharp evaluation!
However, she also understood that she could contact Mamiya Takahito and ask him for help, but don't have too much hope...
Because Tabata Katsuo guessed that Conan went downstairs to the toilet, Professor Agasa and the three children of the Junior Detective League were led astray and decided to go to the restaurant for dinner first.
"I'll go to the toilet first."
Chi Feichi simply used the 'toilet' reason and went to the second-floor toilet.
As soon as the door was closed, Feichi slipped out of Chi Feichi's cuff and said impatiently, "Is there any action? Go find that child? Great, I have been bored to death these two days..."
"Are the secret doors clear?" Chi Feichi asked in a low voice.
Feichi's running around in the castle for the past two days was not just for fun, but also to investigate the traps in the castle clearly.
After all, Kuroba Kaito left, but he didn't forget the treasure. The day before he left, he made an agreement with him—
If find the treasure, must tell him. If it is non-gem type, it belongs to Chi Feichi. If it is all gems, Kuroba Kaito proposed that he take a look first, and then take a share...
The agreement was very detailed. Chi Feichi almost couldn't help telling Kuroba Kaito: Gems? Thought too much. This treasure does not even have a one-yen coin.
However, Kuroba Kaito's enthusiastic sentence "everyone who sees it has a share" blocked all the words he wanted to say back.
"Of course it's clear!" Feichi nodded madly like a chicken pecking at rice again.
Chi Feichi couldn't help but hold Feichi's head. Every time Feichi nodded madly, he had the feeling that 'this snake has gone mad'. "Just nod once in the future. Tell me the situation of the secret doors you have explored."
