Chapter 235: Solving Cases Faster Than Conan

Chapter 236: Solving Cases Faster Than Conan

"Hand Conan over quickly if you want to live." My tone was unusually cold. My murderous intent rushed directly towards the old woman.

"You, who are you?" The old woman was frightened by the sudden cold murderous aura and took a few steps back, and asked me reluctantly.

"A secret makes a gentleman more style." I replied indifferently. "Sa, tell me where the child you kidnapped is. Maybe I can let you continue to live in prison. Otherwise, even if you die here now, no one will know, right?"

"Damn you kid, you are so arrogant!" The old woman seemed to be driven into a panic by my pressure, and rushed towards me with the iron rod in her hand, swinging it at my head.

"Idiot." I said with disdain. When she rushed to me, I rushed out faster than her and punched her in the lower abdomen. The old woman was instantly overwhelmed by pain and fell down softly. The steel rod in her hand also fell to the ground because of the previous blow. Women's lower abdomen is one of their weaknesses. In fact, I still held back a little when I punched her. Otherwise, this punch would be enough to make her faint. "Give up, you have to bear the consequences of your sins." As I spoke, I tore off one of the old woman's sleeves and tied her hands together behind her back.

"Damn it... I have worked hard to disguise myself for several years, but it was ruined by a little devil like you!" The old woman's voice was no longer old, but she roared at me with a powerful tone. Although the pain made her face pale, her gnashing of teeth showed it deeply.

"It's strange that you shouldn't have let us into this castle. Otherwise, even if you couldn't find the treasure of this castle, you could still pretend to be the eldest lady and live a life of ease and comfort. Maybe in a few years, you could kill all the owners here one by one, and then this castle would belong to you. Unfortunately, you don't have that chance anymore." I said expressionlessly. "Stand up and take me to the child you kidnapped."

"Hmph, it's useless. I've already thrown him into the woods." The old woman said stubbornly.

"So, I asked you to take me there." I said in a bad mood. "Don't forget, the secret passage of the castle you are in now has not been discovered by anyone. If I want you to die here, it's easy!" After saying this, I rushed straight towards the old woman with no reservations. When the cold dagger was against her neck, she realized that the child in front of her was not someone she could mess with.

"I...I'll take you there." The old woman said to me in panic.

"By the way, tell me about your situation and what happened to this castle." I stepped back to let the old woman stand up. Then, she endured the pain in her abdomen and took me from the secret passage of the castle to the forest behind the castle. Tens of minutes later, she told me her origins and took me to the place where he left Conan.

"It's right here." The old woman said to me with a fearful look.

"Is he not here?" I looked around. Conan was no longer here. If he hadn't walked out on his own, he was hiding somewhere to avoid the drizzle that would take away his body temperature.

"Conan!!!" I shouted to the people around me. Unfortunately, there was no response. "Did he leave?" I frowned. According to Conan's thinking, he would not leave here. After all, he was taken to an unknown place in a state of unconsciousness. Even if Conan was confident that he could walk out of here, he would at least leave a trace for himself, right? "You, just shout here, Conan, Xun is here to see you, this sentence."

"Huh?" The old woman was slightly stunned.

"Don't you understand?" I asked harshly. "Do you want me to teach you?"

"Oh! I, I know." The old woman had no choice but to shout at the top of her lungs. I was looking around for traces of where I could find them. The drizzle quickly washed away the footprints. There was no way to find them. I had no choice but to let the old woman shout.

After about ten minutes, the old woman was already shouting until she was hoarse. Unfortunately, there was still no sign of Conan around. Could this guy really be gone? In the end, I really couldn't think of a way. I had to knock the old woman unconscious with a palm. I took out a pistol from my arms and fired flares into the sky. One, two, I fired once every few minutes, and I fired more than ten times in a row before I heard a rustling sound in the bushes. I saw Conan appeared in front of me with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Pfft... I thought our great detective could get out on his own, but now he has to turn back." I couldn't help laughing as I looked at Conan who looked embarrassed.

"Ah... Thanks to you, I might have died in this forest." Conan breathed a sigh of relief. "It's so embarrassing that I was attacked from behind by the criminal. If I can't get out of this forest tonight, I might even set it on fire to survive."

"Do you have to be so exaggerated?" I said in silence. "Are your jungle survival skills that bad?"

"I'm not like you, I'm a monster." Conan's eyes were half-mooned. It seemed that he had said this many times. "Although it is possible to survive using extreme methods. But I really appreciate you coming to save me." Conan glanced at the old woman lying on the ground and fainted. "Is this the imposter?"

"Yes, she confessed everything on the way here just now. She was a maid in this castle. Because her voice and appearance were very similar to the eldest wife, and she learned the secret of the treasure in this castle, she became evil because of the money. She cruelly threw the eldest wife into the secret underground passage in the castle and starved her to death. Later, in order to prevent her disguise from being discovered, she set fire to the tower where her daughter came back to celebrate her birthday. She burned everyone inside to destroy the evidence." I said to Conan as I dragged the old woman back.

"Uh... why do I feel so unfulfilled?" Conan rubbed his forehead which was hit by the iron rod.

"What do you mean?" I turned around with a puzzled look.

"Every time I solve a case, I rack my brains to think about the criminal's methods and psychological activities. But with you, everything comes out after just one interrogation. What else do we detectives do?"

"Please, I exposed my ability to find out about her." I held my forehead. "Although people may not believe what this crazy old lady says, it's okay to expose her once or twice. What if it happens too many times? To be honest, if I hadn't taken you and the children here this time, I would have killed this old lady."

"Hey, hey, there's no need to be like this." Conan frowned.

"No, I cannot miss any opportunity that could expose me, because this old lady is already on the verge of going insane, so I dare to take such a risk and let her live. Otherwise, I will definitely not consider your feelings and kill her with a single blow."

"Okay, I'll be more careful next time. This kind of problem won't happen again, and I won't give you a chance to kill someone." Conan said with some fear. Indeed, he was a little too cocky this time. If the old woman wasn't so strong, she might have really killed herself with that blow. That would have been the end.

"Forget it. I'll give those brats some training later. You can come too. At least it can help improve your reflexes."

"Training? For those kids?" Conan wondered. "Are you going to train them according to your training volume? You are planning to tire them to death."

"How is that possible? It's just simple training. At least I won't expose my tracks again when I rescue them in danger. This kind of crisis awareness and calm training is still necessary. As for you... I have to think about how to cure your bad habit of wanting to be in the spotlight even at the cost of your life." "......"

When we returned to the castle, everyone was still asleep. Of course, Shiho was not asleep, but was just dozing off, waiting for my return. As soon as we came back, Shiho opened her eyes. When she saw the old woman being dragged back by us, she knew that this incident was successfully resolved.

The next morning, the police received a call from the doctor and rushed over. The old woman also bowed her head and confessed. I originally thought that she would resist, or expose me, or hang herself for fear of crime, but when Conan told her the secret of the castle, the old woman went completely crazy. Yes, during the time when he was exiled to the forest, Conan had figured out the secret of the castle. That is, according to the order of the white chess pieces on the chessboard, the words are pieced together, which means the intellectuals with perverse ideas. That is to say, it refers to the master himself. Next, we just need to rotate the master's words to the right according to the order of the black chess pieces. Of course, when we took the old woman to the secret place. After opening the only door there, what fell in front of us was not gold and silver treasures, but a beautiful mountain scenery. Although it was late at night, we could still see the hazy picture clearly. I believe that when the sun rises, it will become a rare scenery. There is also a line of words on the door. [I would like to give this castle and this dusk scenery to the first person who finds it here. However, when the old woman learned the truth, she collapsed in an instant. She spent a huge amount of money to make herself look like an old woman, but in the end, all she got was this scene in the dark.

"Tsk... You solved another case while we were sleeping." As soon as he woke up early in the morning, Genta started complaining to Conan and me.

"But it's great that Conan can come back safely." Compared to solving the case, Ayumi is more concerned about Conan's safety.

"Ha, hahaha..." Conan laughed awkwardly. He could be said to be just a bystander in this case. He could only express a little embarrassment about this.

So, after handing the old lady over to the police, we took the bus back.

"It's a pity that there is no so-called treasure." In the car, beside me, Shiho said to me in a voice that only the two of us could hear. "It seems that your harvest plan has failed again."

"Yeah, what a shame. I was thinking of robbing them when no one was paying attention. But it's nice to be able to see the beautiful scenery. As for the money issue, I'll think of a way."

"Are you really that short of money?" Shiho frowned. It seemed that in her understanding of me, she had never seen me so eager for money.

"Well, I have enough money to spend." I thought for a moment and said, "But I lack money for my wife."

"Eh?" Shiho's cheeks turned slightly red, and then she rolled her eyes at me, speaking to me with a hint of sarcasm. "Yes, for you, you really lack a wife. Too much."

"OvO... Why do I feel like I stabbed myself invisibly?" I pretended to be stupid with a Quincy look on my face.

"Conan, Xun, you didn't ask us to solve the case this time, isn't that too mean?" On the other side, Genta was still complaining. But he didn't know that if he took them with him, it would be very dangerous. Of course, Conan wouldn't say such things, and I couldn't say it either, so I could only admit it obediently.

"That's right, we are the Junior Detective Team, we are a group." Mitsuhiko continued.

"Hi~hi...I'm sorry. How about I treat everyone to a meal? I heard that a new sushi restaurant opened in Mihua City and the food is pretty good." I quickly changed the subject.

"Sushi restaurant?" the children responded. "Isn't it some conveyor belt sushi place on the street?"

"No, it's a sushi restaurant on the top floor of a star-rated hotel. I heard the eel rice there is also very delicious." I gave him another dose of shocking news.

"What?!" Yuan Tai was the first to give in. "I'll go, I'll go!"

"Yeah, and the sashimi set there is also very good."

"Huh? Then I want to go too." Mitsuhiko also expressed.

"By the way, Conan, you will go with us too, right?"

"Uh... yeah, why shouldn't I go if you're treating me?" Conan said subconsciously.

"Well, then I'll go too." Ayumi thought about it and raised her hand.

"Where's Ai?" I turned around and looked at Shiho. She shrugged her delicate shoulders and nodded.

"How could I easily miss the collective activities of the Junior Detective Team?" These gentle words once again helped me lay the foundation for the content and execution of this activity.

"Yoshi, next Tuesday is our school's anniversary, and that's when our Junior Detective Team will go eat sushi together. It's decided!" Yuan Tai decided loudly.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

PS: Well, this was supposed to be the episode that connects to the monster movie, but there is really nothing to watch, so I skipped it. I originally wanted to write about all the episodes with Shiho, but many of them are really just for show, so the following articles will not be in order. I will skip it if I should. Please forgive me, if there is any plot you want to see, please leave a message in the comment section and I will pay attention to it.
