Chapter 211 – The Nerd; Conan is missing

The last chapter zz.,I actually wrote the big old man Zhenzhao master.。。。 Corrected

————

"Last wish..." Chiba plays with taste. "Interesting...

"The deceased Lord Sadaaki?" Conan, however, realizes the hidden message in the bald gardener's words. "Then may I ask who the 'master' we saw just now?"

"That is the second husband that the wife married after the death of Master Sadaaki, Master Aman—the son-in-law who is inverted, to be precise. But now because his wife was burned to death by fire four years ago, Master Aman has become the number one in the family. ”

"Burned to death by fire?" Dr. Asasa was stunned. "What's going on?"

"Uhhh The gardener pointed to a minaret on the side of the castle. "See that stone tower? It used to be my wife's bedroom. That year, in order to celebrate the old lady's birthday, the wife rushed back and held a banquet in the stone tower to celebrate the old lady's birthday. As a result, the stone tower suddenly caught fire that night, and the wife and many old friends of the old lady, as well as many senior old servants, a total of a dozen people, were burned to death there. Only a new servant like me, who was still young, the old lady who left early that day because she was unwell, the only son of Lord Zhenzhao, the noble young master, and the old man who had just joined the family, survived because they were not there. ”

So saying, the gardener led them through the main entrance into the castle.

A portrait hangs on the front of the hall and on the left and right sides.

"The portrait on the front is a portrait of the eldest lord, the portrait on the right is a portrait of the old man, and the portrait on the left is a portrait of the wife."

"Wait a minute," Chiba suddenly frowned. "Why do I always think this portrait of Mr. Sadaaki is a little familiar?"

"Probably on some kind of archaeological documentary?" The gardener replied. "Lord Sadaaki is an archaeologist—he met his wife at a banquet of the great lord, who is also an archaeologist. It is worth mentioning that for this reason, Lord Zhenzhao has great respect for the eldest master who is a senior, and even his wife will be helpless because of Master Zhenzhao's respectful attitude. ”

At this moment, the sound of a wheelchair running over on the ground came from behind Chiba.

“?” Qian Yu looked back and saw an old woman in a wheelchair holding the rubber ring of the wheelchair wheel and moving it this way.

"She said the old man was just an archaeologist who was dead studying, right?" The old woman said. "But there's nothing wrong with that, that idiot is the kind of guy who loves his life's work." When she said this, there was even a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

"Old lady!" The gardener's expression immediately turned to panic. "Please forgive me for my sin of reminding you of something unhappy!"

"It's okay," the old lady said lightly. "When he died, I was devastated. But time is really terrible, constantly washing away all traces, including joy, anger and sorrow. Just like the replacement of passports and the revision of banknotes, I have already looked down on these past... Hmm, who are they? ”

"They are guests invited by Lord Aman, and one of them seems to be a scientist." The gardener hurriedly explained.

"Oh? Scientist? The old lady's expression became very subtle. Then I have to ask you ... ”

"Please, help me figure it out and see what he's hiding here."

"Huh?" Qian Yu and the others were stunned.

"It is said that it was one of the wills that the old man left before he died," said the gardener in place of the old lady. "As long as you can solve the puzzles he left behind, then you can get the things he cherishes most."

Is it a big man again? Wait a minute... Those chess pieces outside the door also seem to be the master's masterpieces... Is that a puzzle?

But then again, it seems that the old lady and the old man are both involved in this treasure battle, and they are still on the opposite side...

"Oh, by the way, my daughter hasn't come back yet? Didn't she say she was coming back today to celebrate my birthday! The old lady said suddenly. I'll go back and rest first, and if she comes back, I'll let her come to my room. ”

After saying that, the old lady turned the wheel of the wheelchair and left.

"The old lady has been like this since that fire... The gardener said apologetically.

"Looks like she's been stimulated a lot... Dr. Asa sighed.

"Uncle, is there any room here where I can see those chess pieces just now?" Conan asked suddenly.

。。。

“。。。” Qian Yu looked at the chess pieces and thought.

Black poses a G-like pattern on the board – a pattern that can also be understood as a curved arrow in a counterclockwise direction.

Is it a signal to turn something counterclockwise?

But if that's the case, the hint of this puzzle is too conspicuous, right? 15 years should have been cracked...

Wait a minute, if you consider white ...

The distribution of white pieces is very scattered, so it is not possible to be a graphic symbol. And what about the location?

According to the chess recording method, the positions of white are A7, D1, E1, E6, G2, G3, H5... 7116235? 7161325?

Wait a minute, if the order of the messages of these pieces is not according to letters, but according to numbers...

E1,G2,G3,H5,E6,H7,D8?

EGG-HEAD?

The corners of Qianyu's mouth twitched - this is definitely a valid message...

egg-head, it's an interesting word – it's a slang term for nerd...

He just knew that there was a nerd in the family who fit the adjective—the old man himself who had set up the puzzle.

At this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

"Thousand feathers!" Mitsuhiko's panicked voice made Chiba look at him. "What's wrong?"

"Conan is gone!"

"What?" Qian Yu frowned. "What's going on?"

"Conan was in the same room as them just now, and then suddenly disappeared." Behind Mitsuhiko, Gray Plains arrived. "But I didn't hear anyone go out at all."

Qian Yu and Gray Yuan Ai glanced at each other and immediately made a judgment. "Let's take a look."

。。。

Under the guidance of Gray Yuan Ai and others, Chiba came to the room where Conan disappeared. "Why are you here?"

"It's the best place to see it," Gray Plains said. "Where is it as low as the room you stayed in."

"But I came up with a valid message." Thousand Feathers shrugged.

"What letter—huh?" Gray Yuan Ai was about to open the door, but his face showed surprise. "Locked?"

"Locked?" Qianyu's face suddenly became ugly. "You're sure Conan disappeared in this room, right?"

"Yes... Gray Yuan's face also sank.

There is no doubt that this was done on purpose.
