The correct posture of Ke Xue's love

Chapter 94 Puzzles and Treasures

Under the leadership of the gardener, Gu Shuiquan and his party walked through the garden to the castle. The little devils kept looking around at the novel scene, looking very excited.

"Ah, it's a horse." Yoshida Ayumi cutely ran to hug a sculpture of a horse head more than twice her size in the yard.

Although she also wore a headband, she didn't expose her entire forehead like Suzuki Sonoko, and she looked much better.Wearing a pink fancy sweater, red skirt, and black pantyhose, she is indeed as cute as a little princess, and it's no wonder that even Haibara loves her very much sometimes.

"There are also horses here, and they are still black." Kojima Motota also ran to a sculpture and looked at it.

"But why is it only up to the neck?" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya wondered.

"Those horses are called knights, and they are chess pieces." Hui Yuanai explained to them in a calm tone with her hands behind her back.

"Chess pieces?" Yoshida Ayumi's big flashing eyes were full of doubts.

"It's not just chess pieces. Look carefully at the turf under your feet. It looks like a chessboard," Conan added.

Dr. Ali stood on the side of the road with his hands behind his back, turned to the gardener and asked, "Is there anyone here who likes chess?"

"I don't know, I just do a little pruning every day to maintain the appearance of this place according to the instructions of the old master Mr. Zhenzhao. I heard that this seems to be the last words of the old man before he died 15 years ago. Master Zhenzhao has always Never violated."

"Master from the past? Who was that just now?" Dr. A Li was a little puzzled.

"Oh, he is my wife's second husband, Master Aman, and Master Zhenzhao died of illness six years ago. As for my wife, she also burned to death in the fire four years ago."

Gu Shuiquan heard this and looked at the middle-aged man who was talking with the maid under the covered bridge in the distance.Aman, the widow, the spiritual successor of the prime minister is indeed everywhere.

"Big fire?" Dr. Ali raised his voice involuntarily.

"Look there." The gardener pointed to a dark, dilapidated stone tower in the woods on the left side of the castle. "There is a charred stone tower there, and that place is where my wife used to be."

"That year, my wife came back to this long-lost castle to celebrate the old lady's birthday. She arrived here in the middle of the night, but the fire broke out before dawn that day. Not only the wife herself, Even the friends she brought back, as well as a dozen people including the housekeeper and servants who had served the old lady for many years, were all swallowed up by the fire."

"The only people who escaped that catastrophe were the servants like me who were hired not long ago, the old lady who slept elsewhere because of a cold, and the master Aman who came back earlier than the wife."

"Ah, that one over there is the only son of my wife and Mr. Zhenzhao. Although he came back two or three days before the fire, I heard that he was sent to study abroad since he was a child. The fire was my first time. The first time I saw him, I only met Master Aman at that time."

"Since my wife remarried abroad, she, Master Aman and Young Master Noble have been living in that country. I don't know why, but after the fire, Master Aman and Young Master Noble have returned to live in the castle."

"To outsiders like us, it looks like we have some kind of Taoism." The gardener couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

After visiting the courtyard, everyone finally came to the gate of the castle.

"It must have been a lot of twists and turns when they came here for the first time? You don't even know what they look like." Dr. A Li stepped up the steps with his hands behind his back.

"That's not true. The photos of my wife's remarriage have been sent over a long time ago, so everyone knows what Master Aman looks like. As for the noble young master." The gardener pushed open the gate of the castle while talking, pointing to the second man who was facing the gate. The huge portrait on the wall of the building showed Dr. A Li, "Look, he is exactly the same as the dead old man."

Gu Shuiquan and others also looked at the interior of the castle. The hall is double-height, and directly opposite is a huge portrait of a bearded man, which occupies almost the entire second-floor wall. Stairs lead to the second floor.

"So that's it, who are the portraits on the left and right?" Dr. A Li looked around, seeing that the left and right walls of the hall were covered with portraits, he couldn't help asking.

"That's Master Zhenzhao and his wife. Master Zhenzhao was recruited here. He respects the old man who is also a historian like himself, and he often complains because of this wife."

"She often said that her father was just an intellectual full of lies." An old and hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind everyone.

The gardener was startled, and quickly turned around to say hello to the old lady with white hair and loose skin sitting in a wheelchair.

"Actually, the child's father often heard this kind of thing before, but instead of being angry when he heard it, he was very happy."

"I'm very sorry, I shouldn't remind you of these past events." The gardener took off his hat and apologized cautiously while touching his bald head.

Gu Shuiquan glanced at his hairstyle, no wonder he was able to hold a fat man of Yuantai's tonnage for so long with one hand, so he turned out to be a strong man through training.

"You don't have to be too nervous, I've already gotten used to living without him. It's the same as the pattern of banknotes and the change in the size of a passport. I'm not used to it at first, but after a long time, I don't think it's so strange. .Time is indeed a terrible thing, no matter whether you are happy, angry, sad or happy, it will disappear with time."

Gu Shuiquan glanced at the talkative old lady, but said nothing.

"By the way, who are these?"

"Ah, this, that, they are friends of the master, they seem to be some kind of speculative novelist and inventor."

"Mystery novelist?" The old lady was visibly excited, and even opened her squinted eyes, "Oh, that's really great, then I want you to help us find out what he left behind in this castle. mysteries."

Hearing the mystery, Conan, who had been listless just now, regained his energy in an instant.

"Mystery?"

"Oh, it is said that the elder said this before he died, as long as he can solve the mystery of this castle, he will give him his most precious treasure." The gardener explained on the side.

"By the way, my daughter hasn't come back yet?" The old lady seemed to have become confused again, "Isn't she coming back today? She said she was coming to celebrate my birthday."

"I let her come to my room immediately when she came, and I was so happy to see my daughter right away."

The old lady was talking and laughing while turning the wheels of the wheelchair with her hands, and disappeared behind the stairs nimbly and silkily.

"Since the fire, she has become like this." The gardener sighed.

"It must have been a big blow." Dr. A Li sighed together.

"Uncle, is there a room where I can see those chess pieces in the yard clearly?" Conan couldn't wait.
