Great Swordsman Ke Xue

And Shimizu Koji didn't lie in the first half of his sentence. Now, compared to Conan who might sell him out of recklessness, he really only believes in Haibara Ai.

But at the same time, part of the reason is that she is worried that she will encounter an accident.

The Young Detective Team is okay, they are just children, and they should sleep well at night - well, at worst, he will give Dr. Ari a warning.

But Haihara Ai and Shimizu Koji can guarantee that if there is any movement in the castle at night, she will definitely have a sleepless night.

And with him around, she would probably go to his room to explain the situation to him, but if she couldn't knock on her door then, she would probably be completely panicked.

So, instead of doing that, it would be better to just take her to his room and work as a doorman for him.

That's right, Shimizu Koji has decided to wait until night to use that ability that he has never had a chance and dare not use easily.

The situation this time is quite special, but it is also unexpectedly suitable for the use of his soul power. No matter what secrets this castle holds or what conspiracies these people have, they will be able to hide them when the time comes.

And——, after testing the ability of soul out of body several times in private, Koji Shimizu can even proudly say that nothing can hurt him in the soul state.

Although Mamiya always said that he would only invite them to stay for one night, Shimizu Koji had no doubt after observing that if these people found out that it was really possible for them to solve the puzzle, or they were about to be driven crazy by the puzzle, I'm afraid they will do some unexpected things.

The noble Mamiya who caresses the chess piece obsessively as if caressing his lover's slender body;

Mamiya Mitsuru, who is arrogant at first and respectful at the end, does not hide his eagerness at all;

There is also the eldest lady who directly talks about the riddle as soon as they meet her. She is obviously in her late 70s and 80s and should be a kind-hearted person who has seen through the world, but just looking at her gives people a not-so-good feeling.

These people gathered together seemed strange and disturbing, but in fact, they had no great destructive ability. Compared to them, Koji Shimizu was more concerned about the charred stone tower.

While Qingshui Koji was thinking, he looked at the majestic stone tower standing next to him, and Haihara Ai beside him was also quietly observing his expression.

"Is there any danger?"

She couldn't quite see it, but she could probably feel it vaguely.

"Huh? No, as long as you lock the door for me and stay in the room obediently, it will be fine."

Haiyuan Ai blinked. This time, he didn't have any obvious reaction to Qingshui Koji's words of 'obediently', and just nodded seriously.

——

Time passed very quickly. Since their separation, Koji Shimizu and Ai Haibara no longer planned to join Dr. A Li.

The two of them walked around outside the castle first, and then entered the castle to continue their sightseeing aimlessly.

The Mamiya family's dinner time was also relatively early, and it was the season change between autumn and winter. Around five or six o'clock, night fell quietly, and everyone gathered again and came to the restaurant together.

The maid in a long black and white dress pushed two large dining stations on both sides of the long dining table. Koji Shimizu looked around the table, and he suddenly felt as if something was missing.

And Haibara Ai beside him had already taken the lead to speak out, asking Ayumi who looked worried across the way: "Yoshida-san, where are Edogawa-san and the others?"

"Gone—"

Ayumi raised her head, her voice a little aggrieved, her eyes watery, as if she had lost Conan.

But in fact, it's easy to guess her thoughts. The little girl can't find the little boy she likes. This is her expression.

Genta and Mitsuhiko on the side also had low eyebrows and seemed to be blaming themselves.

Dr. Agasa was halfway through the afternoon tour when he was dragged by Mamiya Mitsuru to talk about puzzles. When he discovered that Conan was missing, he was a little shocked.

However, before he could speak, Mitsuru Mamiya, who was in the main seat, had noticed his thoughts and took the initiative to explain: "Is a little guy missing? Maybe he accidentally touched some mechanism."

"I forgot to tell you before that there are many secret passages in this castle. Even we don't dare to say that we fully understand this castle.

If he still can't come back after dinner, I'll ask my servants to look for him together with you. If you really can't find him, then you can only call the police. "

When it came to calling the police, Mamiya Mitsuru paused. He actually didn't pay much attention to it. Conan, that is, a little kid got lost.

He asked his servants to accompany him to look for him, which seemed to be a concern, but in fact he himself said that as the masters, they didn't understand the castle, what could the servants do.

In fact, the current situation was exactly what he wanted. Dr. Agasa chatted with him in the afternoon. Although many of the inventions Dr. Agasa mentioned really made him feel novel, he suddenly lost his temper when he mentioned the puzzles, which made Mamiya Man was very dissatisfied. He felt that Dr. Ali was perfunctory with him and had no intention of helping him solve the puzzle.

Now, just in time, if a little boy were left behind, he estimated that Dr. Ali would soon be eager to explore the castle, and even take the initiative to use his intelligence to help him solve the puzzle.

The corner of Mamiya Man's mouth curled up, and he no longer paid attention to everyone's concerns. He raised his hand to signal the maid to open the table and unveil the dishes for everyone.

Soon, the exquisite and sumptuous dishes attracted everyone's attention, and after receiving Mamiya Mitsuru's explanation and promise, Dr. Agasa and the young detective team temporarily put Conan's disappearance behind them.

"itadakimasi (I'm starting)!"

Everyone spoke in unison, especially the voices of the three members of the Junior Detective Team were the most energetic. Children's emotions often come and go quickly, and they are just happy.

Huihara Ai made an exception and allowed Dr. Agasa to eat some meat and greasy food that he didn't have the chance to eat normally tonight. In fact, she just didn't bother to care for the time being.

But Dr. Agasa was even more grateful that he could stay here for dinner today, which was better than their camping picnic!

And Shimizu Koji cut a piece of steak and noticed the opposite side while eating.

Ayumi didn't eat first like the others, but took a few breads very carefully and put them in a bag.

Shimizu Koji couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw this. He didn't envy or be jealous of Conan or anything, he just simply appreciated this innocence.

And he just looked at the reactions of the people, and no one showed any abnormality.

So he also estimated that Conan might have accidentally fallen into some secret passage, but he was not very worried.

After all, it's impossible for these people to sacrifice a little ghost before they officially start solving the puzzle, right?

It doesn't make sense, unless Conan finds something again--

Hmm

Kouji Shimizu suddenly felt that he still needed to care about Conan's safety, and he also felt more and more that his understanding and cognition of Conan was so correct.

"Huh, it's nice to have a lively occasional time."

Miya Mitsuru shook the sparkling goblet, took a sip of red wine, and sighed with a smile on his face.

The noble Mamiya beside him looked more gentle and kind. Hearing this, he also picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then smiled and nodded, "Yes, since my mother died in the fire, we have almost no guests here."

The atmosphere between the two can be said to be harmonious, the father is kind and the son is filial, but in fact they are completely strangers without any blood relationship.

Huiyuan Ai glanced at her lightly and retracted her gaze. Although she had rarely come into contact with such a situation before, she was not surprised by such things.

The upper class is like this, because of some kind of nepotism, they become brothers or even fathers and sons, and everything is ultimately for the benefit.
