Chapter 201: Castle's Past

Seeing the gardener's arrogant attitude, Ze Yu was stunned. When he first came to visit the castle, who dared to speak loudly to him?

Even the owner of the villa had to be polite to him and treat him with the highest standards of hospitality etiquette.

But that’s all in the past.

I can only say that after so many years, this castle has not fallen into disrepair, and it actually lets such a person be the gardener.

He has no idea of ​​the etiquette of entertaining guests.

Who are the outsiders?
Ze Yu shook his head helplessly.

The original owner of this castle has passed away, and the remaining old woman is also an impostor. I guess no one in this castle remembers him anymore?
Suddenly I have a feeling that things and people have changed.

Ze Yu would have this feeling every once in a while. He could only say that it was not that he lived too long, but that human life was too short.

Ze Yu's thoughts only lasted for a moment. When he finished recalling the past, the gardener had just finished speaking.

After being rejected, Dr. Agasa was about to say something else when he was interrupted.

A sturdy looking man came over. He had a mustache and didn't look like a bad guy. "Who are those people outside the door?"

"Master." The gardener looked back and shouted quickly.

"As I remember, there should be no guests visiting here today, right?" the big man asked.

"That stupid old man forced me to let them in." The gardener pointed at Dr. Agasa outside the door with an unhappy look on his face.

"Hey! What do you mean by looking stupid? I am a well-known scientist after all!" Dr. Agasa retorted angrily.

"Scientist?" The big man stroked his chin and smiled meaningfully: "Then your brain should be much smarter than us ordinary people?"

Ze Yu looked at him quietly.

It should be said that except for Genta and the other three, no one among Professor Agasa and the Junior Detective League is simple-minded.

Conan is a famous detective, Haibara Ai and Dr. Agasa are scientists, Hiroki is a computer expert, and they are all top-notch people.

As for Ze Yu...

Although it is not obvious at ordinary times, if he is willing to be serious, he is definitely the smartest life on this earth.

Because Zeyu's brain structure is very sophisticated, far superior to that of ordinary humans. When he gets serious, he is better than Hiroki, who has an IQ that is off the charts.

If Hiroki's IQ is the limit of human beings, then Sawaha with full power is an existence that exceeds the limit of human beings.

However, most of the time, Ze Yu was too lazy to use his brain and was in a state of low consumption.

In this state, his IQ is at the same level as Conan, and sometimes even lower than Conan.

Closer to home.

The big man, who was called "Master" by the gardener, seemed to attach great importance to Dr. Agasa's identity as a scientist and extended an invitation: "Well, I'll invite you to come in for a visit. Do you want to stay here for a night?"

Dr. Agasa was afraid that the other party would go back on his word, so he quickly said, "I'm really grateful."

…………

A moment later... Professor Agasa and the seven members of the Junior Detective League were walking on the road in the castle courtyard.

"Wow! There's such a big horse here!" When Ayumi saw a statue of a white horse's head placed in the yard, she immediately ran over and hugged the statue happily.

"There are some here, too, they're black!" Yuan Tai also ran over, looked at the black horse next to him excitedly, and asked casually: "But why do these horses only have heads and necks? It's really strange..."

"This is the flag of international chess." Ze Yu explained: "It is also called the 'Western flag'. It is somewhat similar to Chinese chess, but there are also major differences."

Huihara Ai added calmly: "These black horses and white horses are called 'knights' in the Western flags."

"There are not just chess pieces. Look at the grass on the ground. It's laid out like a chessboard." Conan said unwillingly.

Hiroki looked at these huge chess pieces quietly, and because he didn't know enough about chess, he didn't say anything.

"Is there anyone in the castle who likes chess?" Dr. Agasa asked the gardener beside him.

"I don't know. I'm just following the instructions of the former Master Zhenzhao and trimming the weeds every day to keep this place as it is." said the gardener.

"I heard that this seemed to be the last words left by the eldest master before he passed away 15 years ago. Whether it was the former Master Zhenzhao or the current Master Aman, they have never violated it."

"Former master? Has your wife married two husbands?" Dr. Agasa asked curiously.

"Yes, because Master Zhenzhao died of illness six years ago, and then the lady married her second husband, who is now Master Aman."

"But four years ago, my wife also died in a fire, leaving only the old lady and Master Aman."

"Where did the fire come from?" Dr. Agasa couldn't help but ask.

"Look, that's the stone tower." The gardener raised his arm and pointed to a tall stone tower not far from the castle. However, the stone tower had become dilapidated, and there were black marks on the tower from a fire.

"That burnt stone tower was my wife's former bedroom. That year, my wife returned to this castle to celebrate the eldest wife's birthday, but the fire destroyed everything."

Ze Yu listened quietly without saying anything.

Although he had visited this castle once, he and the owner of the castle were just acquaintances and could not even be considered friends.

Later, a tragedy happened here, and Ze Yu did not help because it had nothing to do with him.

If the owner of this castle and Ze Yu were friends, then he would help, but unfortunately, the relationship between them was not so good.

There are so many tragedies in the world. If the person who suffered the tragedy is not Ze Yu's friend and he doesn't happen to encounter him, then he will not interfere.

Talking is not a principle. Ze Yu is just simply protecting his shortcomings and being lazy. Generally speaking, he is too lazy to even pay attention to people who have nothing to do with him.

Ze Yu is such a person who does what he wants. Most of the time, what he wants to do depends on his mood and interests.

He looked at the burned stone tower and suddenly asked, "Have you heard the story of Rapunzel?"

"I remember now!" Ayumi blinked curiously, "I've read this story in a fairy tale book before. Does Rapunzel really live in a tower in this world?"

"Our wife is not a lettuce girl!" The gardener seemed to be about to get angry, but in the end he just sighed, his face looking helpless.

"I had just started working here when my wife had the accident. Although I don't have much impression of her, she is a good person. Please don't make fun of her casually."
