Chapter 50 The Dungeon Is Open, and the Boss Is Dead

Second floor of the castle.

Conan has already found something unusual.

The windows of the two rooms are obviously close to the wall, but it takes a long distance to run from the next room to here, which means that there is probably a mezzanine between the two rooms.

Conan began to look for something like a mechanism.

At this time, Xiaosong came in and asked casually: "Have you figured it out?"

"Ah, it's a little clearer." Conan took out a piece of paper.

On the paper is a thumbnail of the chessboard below, with white chess pieces forming a counterclockwise arrow and black chess pieces interspersed in it.

Is this the answer to the puzzle that the fake old lady has been looking for for so many years?

I'm not saying that your brain is a little abnormal.

But it's true, normal people would think of having plastic surgery to look like an old man, and then lurk down to find the treasure in the house?

What are you looking for treasure for? Don't you want a life without worries about food and clothing? Now you have plastic surgery to look like an old lady and directly become the boss of this family.

Not to mention that he is the one who has the final say, but he is also a person with a lot of say. He also has sons, grandsons, and servants to order him around. You might as well just live here in your old age. Why bother with so much effort?

At this time, Conan has already discovered the abnormality of the room.

The clock on the wall has stopped, but it has been hanging there. It is very likely a mechanism.

Conan moved the chair over and immediately began to turn the pointer. As long as it is aligned with a certain time, it should be able to trigger the mechanism.

"Crack!"

Conan succeeded and was directly trapped in the dark room by the mechanism.

At the same time, Ayumi suddenly screamed.

"Ah!!!"

The shrill scream attracted the attention of many people, and Xiaosong and Xiaoai also hurried to the next room.

Xiaosong looked at the frightened Ayumi and asked, "What's wrong?"

"There is...someone!" Ayumi pointed to the tower outside tremblingly.

"I just saw clearly that there is a figure on the tower, a very burly figure!"

"Maybe the servants here went to clean the tower." Mitsuhiko explained immediately.

Without waiting for Xiaosong to speak, Xiaoai immediately said with certainty: "Impossible, I just said that the tower has been abandoned for a long time, and no one can go there."

"Are you dazzled, Ayumi." Yuanta expressed doubt.

"How is it possible? I am definitely not wrong." Ayumi was very firm.

Before everyone could think clearly, Conan's voice suddenly rang from the next door.

"Hey, Xiaosong, come here!"

Xiaosong frowned and walked back quickly.

Then Conan was seen blocking the dark room mechanism, and there was a corpse in the dark room.

The corpse was Mamiya Kayo, the fake housekeeper - Nishikawa Mutsumi.

There was an obvious scar on Nishikawa Mutsumi's neck, and blood was still flowing out, which showed that she had just died.

Wait a minute!

Isn't this guy the boss of the castle? Why did he suddenly die now? !

Something is wrong, things are starting to go wrong.

"The old lady is dead?!" Ayumi hid behind Xiaosong.

Ai leaned slightly to the side, frowned slightly, and said, "Where is her wheelchair?"

"I didn't find it." Conan's face was gloomy.

He searched in the dark room for a long time, but found nothing.

So, this is definitely a homicide.

The murderer took Mamiya Kayo into the dark room, then took the opportunity to kill her, and hid in the dark room.

And there is another point.

The guy who knew the existence of the dark room must be very familiar with the entire mansion.

In other words, it is very likely that the murder was committed by an insider!

"Call the police." Conan didn't have time to think about it, but was ready to call someone.

A homicide has occurred, and Inspector Megure and others must be called first.

The movement here immediately attracted the attention of other people in the Mamiya family.

The first one to run over was Katsuo Tabata, who was holding a pair of scissors in his hand.

"The eldest wife?!" Katsuo Tabata exclaimed, standing there at a loss.

How could it be possible, how could the eldest wife suddenly die?

Mamiya Mitsuru rushed over after hearing the noise. After seeing the dead first wife, he took a few steps back, with an incredible look on his face.

What shocked him even more was that there was a dark room in this castle. How could he not know about this? !

"What happened?"

The last person to come was a young man, Mamiya Takato, that is, Mamiya Mitsuru's son.

But he was not his biological son, but the son of his dead wife and her ex-husband.

In other words, they had no blood relationship at all.

After seeing the body, Mamiya Takato also stood there in a daze, at a loss.

"Call the police!" Conan couldn't help but remind him.

Tabata Katsuo finally reacted and hurriedly dialed the phone.

It should not be connected.

Komatsu had this feeling vaguely.

Normally, the phone line should be cut off at this time, which is the so-called blizzard villa mode.

Sure enough, Tabata Katsuo ran back quickly and brought bad news.

"Oh no, the phone call is not working, and there is a power outage at home."

"What?!" Mamiya Mitsuru's face changed drastically, and then he asked:

"Have you checked the electric box?"

"I have checked it, and there is nothing abnormal." Tabata Katsuo answered everything.

"It seems that I have to go down the mountain to the Metropolitan Police Department to report the case." Mamiya Mitsuru had a headache.

His driving skills are not very good, and he might capsize in the ditch.

As it turned out, he was a little worried.

Because the garage is on fire.

"Oh no, sir, the garage is on fire!" The maid ran in in a hurry.

Well, I knew this would happen.

Komatsu had expected it, so he was naturally calm.

On the contrary, Conan's face was a little bad.

This was undoubtedly done by the murderer.

It seems that the murderer will continue to commit crimes.

He dared to kill people in front of me, damn it!

Conan was a little angry.

"Boom!"

Thunder streaked across the sky and heavy rain poured down.

"This is troublesome, I can't get out at all." Mamiya Mitsuru's brows were twisted into a knot.

He was still thinking about running down the mountain and finding a phone booth to report the case, but now his idea was completely futile.

"No way, let's talk about it tomorrow, let's put away grandma's body first." Mamiya Takato looked sad.

Many years ago, he lost his mother, and now he has lost his only relative, how can he not be sad.

As for Mamiya Mitsuru, he is really unfamiliar with him, and they are only nominal father and son.

"Don't move the body. Keep the crime scene. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the police to investigate and collect evidence." Conan stopped Mamiya Takato.

Mamiya Takato heard this and immediately gave up the idea of ​​moving the body.

In the end, they just put the body here and blocked the door of the dark room with heavy objects.

After doing everything, everyone left the room.

Komatsu also perked up. Something was wrong. Naturally, he had to be careful. He didn't want any accidents to happen.

Because of this little episode, Ayumi and others lost their minds during dinner. They just had a few bites and hurried back to their rooms to rest.

However, Ayumi, Genta and others didn't notice that when they returned to their rooms, a pair of eyes appeared behind them.
