Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

"Did you tell him about the chessboard?"

The old woman suddenly spoke, and her voice was as clear as that of a young woman, just a little hoarse!

Conan's expression tensed.

Keep your eyes on the old woman.

[Strange! Why is there such a strong sense of disharmony? This voice doesn't sound like an old man's voice at all, but it did come from an old man's mouth! ]

Lin Xuan was like taking an open-book exam.

Nod slightly!

Right!

[This woman must have had plastic surgery, but her voice can't be changed! ]

"There's no need to tell them..."

In front of the fireplace.

The homeowner turned his head away and replied in a cold tone.

The old woman understood what he meant, curled her lips and said nothing more.

Xiaolan felt that the atmosphere was not right. She rubbed Lin Xuan's arm nervously and whispered, "What do they want to say..."

Do not know why.

After experiencing the previous cases, Xiaolan became more and more dependent on Lin Xuan.

So much so that she didn't even realize that she was still in Lin Xuan's arms!

Conan held the back of his head with both hands and said sourly:

"It's no use asking him. His eyes have never left a certain part of your body since he came in! How can a man like him have the leisure to observe other things!"

My heart is full of complaints!

[Xiaolan, take a good look at who this guy is! He is so dirty and vulgar! I have never held your hand before! He is hugging me and is reluctant to let go!]

He thought Xiaolan would wake up.

did not expect.

Xiaolan did break free from Lin Xuan's arms!

but.

With a shy face, she blamed Conan:

"What are you talking about, Conan! How can a little kid like you have such dirty thoughts? If you keep talking nonsense, I won't bring you out anymore!"

Conan pointed to his nose.

[Who is the filthy one? I was just telling you the truth. This guy has been hugging you for ten minutes! His hands have never stopped moving!]

Lin Xuan's head exploded.

Conan's forehead suddenly swelled up.

"That's right! I'll give you a set of exercise books and you'll behave yourself."

【Ruin my good deeds! 】

[Damn little devil! ]

Lin Xuan continued, "I have been observing the castle the whole time. It is you who have dirty thoughts and wrongly accuse an honest man."

"The homeowner is talking about the picture on the living room wall."

"If my guess is correct, the chessboard in the photo should be the key to hiding the treasure!"

brush!

Several glances met in an instant!

The hostess's eyes flashed with panic: [Except the owner and the gardener! No one knows about the chessboard! Did the owner tell you? ]

[No! The owner also looked surprised! ]

[It's over! Could it be Kudo Shinichi who often makes headlines? ]

The gardener's eyes lit up: [Is it the long-lost genius detective? I didn't expect him to come to the castle! ]

[I have to quietly tell him the clues I found! But I have to bypass the homeowner and the old woman! They are likely the murderer! ]

The owner's face was solemn: [I thought that kid was already very good, but I didn't expect this high school student's observation ability to be even more abnormal! From just a few words, he was able to figure out that the photo is the key! ]

[Maybe! Inspector Megure has ulterior motives? ]

[Oh right! A high school student! Could it be Kudo Shinichi? I heard that Kudo Shinichi is handsome and has first-rate detective skills! It fits the rumors perfectly!]

The homeowner stood there in a daze.

After a while.

Change your initial idea!

"It was my negligence just now! I forgot that since you were introduced by Inspector Megure, you must be the famous high school detective Kudo Shinichi."

"I think we can sit down and have a good talk about the treasure!"

The homeowner changed his arrogant attitude.

Try to put as much kindness as possible on your face.

however.

He just finished speaking.

The old woman was furious.

"Humph! I think you've lost your mind! You actually want to trust a high school detective!"

"Don't forget! If they are not from the police, they will also get a share of the treasure if they find it!"

"This kind of person also came for the treasure! He shouldn't even be allowed into the castle!"

The homeowner looked hesitant.

Without the police, there is no guarantee that they will not take the treasure away privately!

"Don't worry, I'm not here for the treasure."

Lin Xuan spread his hands.

Make a commitment.

Treasure?

I'm afraid it's just a philosophy of life.

He just wants to solve the murder case! The reward given by the system is the real "treasure"!

The homeowner's brows suddenly relaxed.

The kind eyes want to see the family!

"What treasure or no treasure? It's really polite of you to say that, little brother!"

"However, we only know that there is a treasure in the photo, but we don't know where the treasure is!"

"If you want to know about the castle, I can tell you."

Conan raised his hand excitedly.

"Uncle! I want to know!"

"No!"

Lin Xuan waved his hand.

"I have a basic understanding of the castle's situation. I don't have anything to ask you for now."

【? 】

Conan is speechless!

[So pretentious...]

[There's something strange about this castle! Can't this guy see that? ]

The homeowner was surprised.

But having just witnessed Lin Xuan’s observation skills, I didn’t think much about it.

Nodded and pointed to the circular house upstairs!

"Okay, your room is upstairs! You can put your luggage up there first!"

……

Corridor on the second floor.

Conan narrowed his eyes, looking displeased.

"Why don't you let me ask? I also want to know what the relationship is between the owner of the house and the person in the portrait."

"Also, I also want to understand why the old lady's voice is so strange! She doesn't seem to be an old person."

From entering the castle.

Conan felt that there were many doubts.

Although they live in the castle, everyone seems to have no connection with the people in the portraits!

Lin Xuan stretched his waist.

Plainly said:

"Because the woman herself is not an old person."

"What do you mean?"

Conan was confused.

"I saw a photo of the hostess when she was young on the wall of the restaurant, and her identity and appearance showed that she was an old lady!"

Lin Xuan smiled.

Without evidence, he didn't want to say too much.

"Anyway, just be careful with that woman!"

[This guy! He must be afraid that I will steal his credit, so he deliberately stopped talking halfway.]

[Anyway, I must investigate that woman tonight! I don't believe a woman in a wheelchair can be a threat!]

Looking at Lin Xuan's back.

Conan looked suspicious.

……

Night falls.

A door suddenly opened and a head popped out.

Conan tiptoed out and came to the door of the old woman's room.

Try turning the doorknob.

The door opened.

Conan frowned. Is there no one here?

The light from the corridor poured into the room.

There was no one on the bed or in front of the desk!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

There were faint sounds of footsteps coming from downstairs.

It seemed as if someone was deliberately lowering his footsteps.

Conan followed the footsteps and went downstairs quietly.

There was a figure standing in front of the fireplace in the dining room.

The man pushed the fireplace and actually pushed it open.

The light inside flashed, and Conan saw the man's face clearly.

[It turned out to be that woman...]

Conan didn't expect this.

The elderly man who sits in a wheelchair during the day not only has normal legs and feet, but he is also very strong!
