Chapter 854 callback
"So...this kid has not disappeared, but has discovered a secret passage in the castle?"
"Yes. By the way, you have lived here for so long It's been a long time, but I haven't noticed that the structure here is not right... When you buy a house here, you don't get blueprints? Or do you think the actual dimensions are not marked on the blueprints? I'm afraid you have to go to the municipal planning office. Oh, I’m re-registering. The firefighting procedures are very difficult..."
"Is this the point?"
Mamiya Mitsuru scratched his already thin hair and almost collapsed. cry.
"Then what else is the point?" Tang Ze retracted the bright smile on his face, raised his eyelids, and showed a somewhat cold expression, "The child came back safe and sound, and we also discovered the truth about your deceased wife's death, and also found As a detective, we are competent enough to find the treasure left by your father-in-law."
Mamiya Mitsuru took a deep breath and turned away from looking at the particularly irritating face of this young man. Trying to suppress his frustrated expression.
Feeling that the other party's reaction might trigger greater ridicule, Conan stretched out his hand and tugged on Tangze's sleeve, signaling him to forget it and stop arguing with others about this issue.
How can I put it this way? It’s not like he can’t understand Mamiya Mitsuru’s mood.
This castle is like a blind box with cards. Before opening it, it is possible that there is some expensive hidden money inside. Even if you know that the probability is low, it is still a big surprise to hold it in your hand. There are expectations.
Now, the things are officially taken apart, only to find that the contents inside are so worthless. It is indeed difficult for people who have lived in a castle with inconvenient travel for several years to maintain a peaceful mind.
When Nishikawa Mutsumi, whose hands were tied with ropes and whose eyes had completely lost their luster and did not move, heard this, he suddenly turned his head and looked straight at Karasawa.
She seemed to be suddenly awakened by the word treasure. The dull expression on her face disappeared, and she let out a ferocious hoarse roar: "So, this is what I am for, just for this...!"
"Yes, Nishikawa Mutsumi." Karasawa directly called her by her real name and repeated the shocking fact, "You just stayed here for a little old man with some romantic feelings. Interesting puzzle, for this scenery, I killed fourteen living people, gave up my identity, and that young face... In other words, since it is such a large-scale plastic surgery, even if the plastic surgery is successful If it looks even uglier, you still have to go to a plastic surgeon regularly and spend a lot of money to maintain its condition..."
"Stop talking, stop talking!" Nishikawa! Mutsumi interrupted his straightforward description with a sharp voice and started to cry.
After a while, as if he had completely lost the willpower to maintain his sanity again, Nishikawa Mutsumi once again fell into an almost crazy state and muttered to himself.
"Curse, this is the curse of the tower... Don't come here, don't come here, I didn't kill you, it wasn't me..."
Pouting his lips, Conan retracted his investment in this The fake old lady's gaze turned to tug on Tangze's sleeves twice more.
"Is this really the effect of changing your mind? Why do I feel that the work you did before was not like this..."
"Ah, what she said is probably what she is pursuing. The desire was in vain, so I must have completely collapsed." Tang Ze blinked and kept talking, "Don't worry, I'm not completely crazy. At most, I was stimulated by those scenes and my thinking was temporarily confused."
< br>
"Hmm, is that so...?" Conan touched his chin, feeling that something was wrong. He always felt that Nishikawa Mutsumi might have experienced something else after being tortured by the Phantom Thieves for several rounds and completely out of his sight. After thinking about it for a long time, And there seems to be no evidence to prove this point of view.
After all, although Nishikawa Mutsumi looked a little embarrassed, with his clothes and hair in tatters, he did not appear to be more hurt, and looked exactly the same as when he left his sight.
Karasawa glanced at Matsuda Jinpei, who was still wearing sunglasses, and then the two of them quietly turned their heads away in unison.
Through the sunglasses, Tang Ze couldn't see clearly the other person's expression, but he guessed that the other person's expression under the sunglasses should be as subtle as his own.
How can I put it this way, although he really hates guys like Mutsumi Saikawa who ignore the lives of others for their own selfish desires, but in his plan, he did not intend to directly drive people crazy.
After all, he still had to let Conan reveal the answer to the chessboard puzzle that wasn't actually very difficult, so that the other party's heart would be completely broken, right? If you go crazy first, won't it compromise the effect? On the contrary, it's not beautiful.
As for why it turned out like this...accidents are all accidents.
No one expected that Hagiwara Kenji’s egg was hatched just before they were ready. Just before they left the impression space here, it suddenly fell from the sky?
“This result is quite good.” Unlike his stepfather who was almost disappointed and collapsed, Mamiya Takato was very happy, “Not only did we find the real murderer of my mother, but also I got the information left by my grandfather..."
He said, looking at the largest oil painting of the Mamiya family in the hall, with a sincere smile.
The attic behind the oil painting has not been visited since the old man passed away. It is dusty and dirty everywhere. At first glance, it seems quite old.
But this small attic is the secret base that this old naughty boy left for himself. It not only preserves many rare and unique books, but also preserves the real floor plan of the castle and his life after living here. All research and verification information that has been conducted on this castle.
For archeology, cultural relics are certainly precious, but the physical buildings that can be used to prove many conjectures are even more valuable materials and heritage. The castle itself is valuable enough.
“It’s good that you think so. In fact, I also think that the secret passages here may be more valuable than the castle itself. These mechanisms are designs and structures that have existed for a long time, which are very interesting. If it's a tourist attraction, maybe I'll be interested in buying a ticket to visit it." Miyano Akemi patted the young man's shoulder and reassured him.
Takato Mamiya gave a bitter smile: "As a tourist attraction or something, this is the scene of a major case where more than a dozen people died. No one would come all the way to see a place like this."
"That's not necessarily the case." Asai Narumi, who felt that she had a lot of say, sighed with a complicated mood.
Moon Shadow Island has the reputation of the famous detective Kogoro Mori, the legend of Keiji Aso's death, and the legend of him who finally completed the dramatic "Revenge of the Prince" on the island. The story not only attracts many tourists, but also attracts many detective enthusiasts who are full of desire to explore mysterious cases. Recently, they seem to have been developing some theme cultural creation...
" Indeed." Shimabukuro Kime nodded with deep sympathy.
Although the American Island has been completely flattened and has become a disappearing dot on the map, the legend of the mermaid’s hometown is superimposed, and the sales volume of the newly built fishery here seems to be more impressive than expected...
< br>Conan, who deeply understands what they are talking about and wants to complain but doesn’t know where to start: “…”
He held his breath for a while, and finally looked at Haibara Ai, who was pulled aside by Miyano Akemi, who was stroking her hair and saying something, with a particularly resentful expression.
Since Miyano Akemi has really joined the Phantom Thieves and lives next door to the doctor's house, no matter what, it is impossible for Haibara to be unaware of this.
In the end, he was the only one who was kept in the dark!
Taking advantage of Conan's anger towards his fellow Riddler friends, Karasawa moved a step towards Matsuda Jinpei and said from the corner of his mouth: "By the way, hasn't he woke up yet?"
< br>"No." Matsuda Jinpei rubbed the back of his neck and replied with a headache, "I asked Miss Shiho specifically, and she said there was no problem. Could it be that he fell to the floor and was knocked unconscious... ”
Tang Ze touched his nose and calculated in his mind the height difference of nearly one meter between the laboratory's experimental table and the RV floor. He was too embarrassed to speak.
Not to mention, it is really possible.
In addition to the relatively peaceful death of Zhu Fu Jingguang, the way in which these two police officers who died too spectacularly returned is equally spectacular. Not only were they accompanied by violent sound and light special effects, but their kinetic energy when they died may also have been taken into account. They all appeared directly from mid-air and smashed down straight down.
At that time, it was difficult to say whether Matsuda Jinpei woke up so quickly because of being caught on the experimental table...
Recalling the live replay provided by Noah after they hurried back, Tang Zeqing laughed twice: "Fortunately, that effect has no substantial destructive power. Otherwise, I don't know how to explain the sudden explosion of the RV. ..."
"There is nothing difficult to explain. After all, it is a vehicle, a car, so we cannot ignore the possibility of it exploding." Matsuda Jinpei spread his hands with experience.
Some cars will be driving smoothly on the road, but suddenly someone will put a bomb underneath.
Even if a bomb is not stuffed, if someone is accidentally involved in an accident, there is still a chance of being hit, set on fire, or smashed...
Kangze quickly gave him an elbow. , pushing back those unlucky words: "It took a lot of effort and money to build that car, so don't be so talkative."
"What does it matter? You can claim compensation from Mutsumi Saikawa and the Mamiya family when the time comes." Matsuda Jinpei said calmly, "Is it true that the car blew up after she got in?"
"You still miss them. Just order it..." When he heard what he said, even Tang Ze, who always had a wide range of moral bottom lines, couldn't help but raise his neck.
You come to someone's house to eat, drink, drink, drink, and drink, and then you have to pay for it when it blows up. Even in the world of scapegoats, this is quite a heavyweight.
Matsuda Jinpei was about to say something when he suddenly felt a vibration representing new news coming from the mobile phone in his pocket, and his expression immediately dropped.
Now, Morofushi Kagemitsu is still in the car watching over Hagiwara Kenji who has not woken up. It is self-evident what the news coming at this time means.
"You go back to the car first." Tang Ze noticed his change in mood and tilted his head to indicate the direction of the exit.
Now in the hall, there are not only the other members of the Phantom Thieves, noisy children, but also the servants of the Mamiya family who are surrounded by layers of people, one or two people who are enjoying their melons. In and out is certainly not a thing.
"I..." Matsuda Jinpei opened his mouth, feeling that his palms were sweating slightly, and he couldn't help but clenched his fists.
At this time of reunion, this kind of hesitation and confusion seemed a bit inappropriate, but Tang Ze could understand his emotions very well.
Even if he knew this possibility soon after waking up, even if he himself was sure that the miraculous encounter would definitely come, the moment this moment came, there was a mixture of expectation and eagerness, but also The feeling of implicit fear is still so painful and strong.
Maybe this is just a feeling of shyness near home.
"No problem here." Tang Ze patted his shoulder empathetically, "Go, old friends we haven't seen for a long time deserve a good welcome."
It seemed that he was taken aback by this. The sentence "Long time no see" stung a bit. Matsuda Jinpei squeezed his fingers tightly and walked out with his feet.
His steps became more and more urgent, and by the time he reached the door, he was almost running.
Watching his back disappear in front of the gate, Tangze turned back and glanced at the portrait of Mrs. Mamiya with downcast eyes and a gentle expression.
Masashiro Mamama, who died tragically in a secret passage, has been discovered. Her bones will be collected by the police and she will be given a true rest.
A new portrait will be added here soon.
Although these sad mother and daughter are far apart from sad desire and greed, far away from the mockery of fate and malice, they will finally be reunited.
While Tang Ze was staring deeply at the portrait, the elegant woman with a calm expression in the portrait suddenly raised her eyes and met Tang Ze's eyes.
“This is the meaning of death. Only at this time, there is no difference between elegance and vulgarity, and nobility and despicability are treated equally. Are you really ready to cross the taboo of life and death and break the flow of time? ■■?”
A soft voice, as if whispering next to his ear, came, and Tangze suddenly felt a sharp sting in his eyeballs, as if he had seen something so dazzling that it would burn just by looking directly at it. He couldn't help but The ground closed his eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, the portrait still had its eyes half lowered, and the voice had disappeared without a trace.
Tang Ze looked around and made sure there were no other abnormalities before he could be sure that it was an "hallucination" that only he had seen.
What is this, and is it some kind of Riddler hint from that world?
"By the way, about the thing you mentioned before." After confirming that the police were on the way, Mamiya Takato saw Karasawa looking around, not knowing what he was looking for, as if he remembered something. He patted his forehead and said, "I really found the invitation letter sent to my grandfather in the attic."
"What invitation?" Tangze reacted for a moment before guessing what he was talking about. "Are you talking about the party at the Twilight Pavilion forty years ago?"
"Yes, I found it in Grandpa's information." Mamiya Noble nodded, "Your statement is indeed correct. The host of the banquet invited many experts in this field, saying that the castle called Dusk Pavilion hides something. This may be the secret of the treasure, because his grandfather is a historian who studies this direction, so he also sent an invitation."
Kang Ze, who did not expect to be able to call back after so long, was a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows.
He really said it casually at the time, wanting to provoke Mutsumi Nishikawa. Unexpectedly, the deceased old man of the Mamiya family actually almost became a victim...
< br>“But rejected by your grandfather?”
"No, my grandfather actually wanted to agree. As you can see, he has no resistance to these castles full of secrets." Takato Mamiya spread his hands, "It was my mother who heard that my grandfather would be away from home for a long time. She strongly opposed it, and she happened to be unwell at the time and suffered from acute pneumonia. In order to take care of her health, my grandfather finally declined the invitation."
Tang Ze raised his head again and looked at it again. A quiet oil painting with no movement at all.
“I found this thing in the letter. Since you would come all the way to our house because of Detective Akechi’s casual mention, I thought you would be interested in this.”
The noble Mamiya took out a yellowed and damaged piece of paper and handed it over carefully.
Tangze took it and took a look and found that it was an old photo of the castle. Thinking about it, the castle surrounded by mountains in the photo should be the Twilight Pavilion.
"...I am indeed a little interested. Can you let me see the letter your grandfather received?"
