Do Castles Have Secrets?

Seeing that his master had agreed, the gardener let everyone in even if he was upset.

After entering the castle, everyone was led by the gardener on the stone road leading to the castle. As they passed the garden, the juvenile detective team saw the huge chess pieces placed on the lawn at a glance.

The eyes of the three young detectives lit up, and they ran forward one after another, hugging the horse’s head excitedly and refusing to let go.

Mingmei was also infected by the liveliness and innocence of the children. She turned to look at the huge chess piece not far away, but unexpectedly found something interesting, and said while pulling Lin Shu’s arm.

“Lin Shujun, look, not only the chess pieces, but even the lawn has been trimmed to look like a chessboard!”

forest treeAfter feeling the strange enthusiasm of the owner of the castle, I felt that something was wrong. After a little reflection, I finally remembered the plot in the original book, so I can’t understand the purpose of these chess pieces and lawns.

After hearing Mingmei’s words, she just smiled and nodded.

Dr. A Li, who was beside him, didn’t know why, so he guessed.

“Does anyone here like chess?”

The gardener put his hands on his hips, looked at the results of his daily meticulous maintenance, and replied casually.

“I don’t know! I just do a little pruning every day as instructed by the old master, Mr. Zhenzhao, to keep the appearance here.”

“I heard that this seems to be the last word of the first master before he died fifteen years ago. Master Zhenzhao has never violated it!”

Dr. A Li finally understood the origin of the chess pieces and the chessboard, but he was full of doubts about the old master’s knowledge in the gardener’s mouth.

“The old master you said, who was he just now?”

The gardener may have not spoken to anyone for a long time. He can answer any questions. He turned his head and glanced at the castle owner in front and said.

“He is the second husband of Mrs. Aman, Mr. Zhenzhao died of illness six years ago, and Mrs. she also died in the fire four years ago!”

Having said this, the gardener pointed to a tall tower in the distance and signaled.

“That’s where the wife’s bedroom was. In that year, the wife went back to the castle to celebrate the eldest wife’s birthday.”

“She arrived here in the middle of the night, but before dawn, the fire started, not only the wife, but also the friends brought back by the wife, as well as the steward and servants who have served the eldest wife for many years. swallowed.”

“The only ones who survived were servants like me who were hired for a while, and the eldest wife who lived in another dormitory because of a cold.”

“And then there is Mr. Aman who arrived here a little earlier than Mrs. By the way, that is the only son of Mrs. and Mrs. Zhenzhao, the noble young master.”

Note.’No.4 “I heard that the boy lived abroad since he was a child, and his wife and Master Aman also settled abroad after their remarriage, but I don’t know why they both came back after the fire!”

Dr. A Li turned his head to look at the young man who was half-squatting on the lawn. The other party was resting on the chess piece with one hand and touching his chin with the other, as if he was studying the chess piece in front of him.

The gardener did not deliberately lower his voice, not only Dr. A Li, but also Mingmei behind him heard these strange messages, took Lin Shu’s arm lightly, and said in a low voice.

“Lin Shujun, why do you think this castle is weird? And Mr. Aman, who was mentioned by the gardener just now, is too enthusiastic!”

Lin Shu didn’t expect Mingmei to notice the difference so quickly, and replied in a low voice with a smile.

“Don’t worry, it’s all up to me. If camping is not possible, then enjoy this trip to the castle!” Thinking that Lin Shu’s promise never failed, Mingmei temporarily put down her worries and puzzles.

The gardener chatted with Dr. Ali all the way, and pushed open the door of the main hall of the castle. What caught everyone’s eyes were three huge portraits.

This time, without waiting for Dr. Li to ask a question, the gardener took the initiative to introduce it.

“The portrait in the middle is the eldest man. The noble young man looks exactly like him. The two portraits on the side are Mr. Zhenzhao and his wife.” The eldest master of historians is very respectful, and our wives are often jealous because of this!” “I used to hold grievances against Master Zhenzhao!”

Just as the gardener was actively introducing Dr. Ali (bjea), an old voice suddenly came from behind everyone. “She used to say Dad was just a crooked intellectual, didn’t she?”

The gardener was startled by the sudden sound, turned around in a hurry to face the person who came, and quickly took off his hat to apologize. “Madam, I’m so sorry, I shouldn’t have reminded the old lady of these past events!”

Sitting in the wheelchair was an old lady with white hair, who seemed to be in good spirits. Wen Yan just looked at the portrait of the eldest man on the wall and replied lightly.

“It’s okay, I’m used to the days without him. It’s the same as changing the pattern of the banknotes and the size of the passport. I’m not used to it at first, but after a long time, it’s nothing strange.” The eldest wife sighed inexplicably. After a while, he suddenly looked at Dr. A Li, Lin Shu and the others and asked. “By the way, who are these?”

Seeing that the eldest lady didn’t blame him, the gardener slowly breathed a sigh of relief. When he heard the other person asking about the group of people behind him, he immediately remembered what Master Aman had previously ordered, and replied reluctantly. “They are friends of the master, and I heard that he is also a scientist.”

“Scientist? That’s great! Then I want you to help us solve it and see what mystery he’s hiding in this castle?”

After hearing the identity of Dr. A Li’s scientist, the eldest lady flashed a clear look in her eyes, and then she said her request with anticipation. “Mystery?”

“It is said that the eldest master said this when he was temporary, as long as he can solve the mystery of this castle, he will dedicate his most precious treasure to him!” Referring to the mystery, the gardener suddenly remembered that there was another An important guest has not been introduced yet. Judging from the attitude of Master Aman towards him just now, he must be a very powerful person!

think of this, gardenerExcitedly, she introduced her to the radiant eldest lady across from her.

“Madam, there is another very important guest. He was specially invited by Master Aman. It is said that he is a consultant of the Metropolitan Police Department!”

“What?! By the way, where’s my daughter? Didn’t she say she was coming back today? When she comes back, I’ll ask her to come to my room, and I can finally see my daughter!”

The gardener, who was waiting for the credit, was surprised to find that the eldest wife, who had a calm face, suddenly became excited, and suddenly mentioned her long-dead wife, and then immediately shook the wheelchair and left.

The gardener didn’t notice the difference, but only came back to his senses after a moment of stunned, clasped his hands together and couldn’t help sighing.

“She’s been like this since that fire!”

However, Lin Shu clearly saw the flash of murderous intent in the eyes of the other party. He wasn’t doing well yet, and the other party was about to take the initiative to provoke him.

Lin Shu was also a little helpless about this. He originally wanted Conan to relive the original sap here! .
