186 The blue castle that doesn't feel good
The weather today is quite comfortable, both lukewarm and cool breeze blowing from the Pacific Ocean. Shangchuan put on his coat and prepared to attend the Magic Club party.
There are more than a dozen people in the Magic Club, and only eleven people will go there. Because there are many people, the club leader specially booked a car and waited on the side of the road.
Shangkawa Shun walked into the car with an umbrella, and Kuaito waved to him in the back row.
"Hunkawa, here!"
"Didn't Aoko come?" Guaikawa suddenly felt a little surprised when he didn't see Aoko who was inseparable from the Kick-in.
"She made an appointment with her friend to go shopping."
The people were all in one go, and the car drove all the way to the party site.
Seeing the car getting more and more tilted, the trees around it became more and more lush, I felt a little painful when I watched the car get a little bit of a pain.
“Have the party location changed?”
Why do you always feel like something is going to happen in a deep mountain and old forest? Can't the party be more normal? Is it inconvenient to be in the city?
"You don't know? It was originally planned to be a villa outside Tokyo, but there was a murder in that villa a few days ago, so the location was temporarily changed. It must have been received by text messages!"
"I didn't receive it." Shangkawa Shin spread his hands, he really didn't receive it.
"Ah? I've sent it to you!" The boy in the front seat heard this and poked his head out from behind the seat like a gopher. He was wearing a pair of round glasses and his head was also round. His eyes were so small that he tried hard to open it, it still looked like a slit.
He took out his cell phone with one hand and pointed to the screen of the phone, which showed a delivered text message.
Shangchuan Shun glanced at the code number and said speechlessly: "You entered the second-last digit wrong..."
"Ah! Sorry! Sorry!" He took out his small notebook and looked at it, then looked at the screen, scratching his head awkwardly.
"The party is at the villa of a friend of my brother's house, right in front!"
Looking at the blue castle that appeared in front of him, Shangchuan instantly rubbed his forehead, and the feeling of something going on became stronger and stronger!
When they got off the car and looked at the quaint and luxurious huge villa in front of them, everyone was amazed.
"So big! It's just like a castle in the West!"
"yes!"
"Ha, it's great! This is something I finally got!" The president with small eyes was proud, his eyes were full of words and came to praise me! But his eyes were too small, and everyone couldn't get his ideas.
"This castle is really good!" Kuaido put his hands in his pockets, full of interest.
"I hope!" It's all here, and it's useless to worry too much.
"What's wrong?" Kuidou felt that Guekawa was not very excited.
"This kind of ancient castle always makes me feel that there will be a murder case inside."
"..." What is this a disappointing sixth sense?
"You are the students who came here to party today! The noble master has been waiting for you for a long time!" A man hugged open the door and welcomed everyone in.
"Brother of noble men!" Seeing the castle owner waiting for him at the door, the president with small eyes waved.
"Kotsu, you guys are here!"
"I'm upsetting you!"
"It's okay, I asked you to come." The noble man from the Miyama looked kind and smiled at the group of people following Komatsu.
"There are only my father and the older lady in the family. Don't just quarrel with them."
Hunkawa's eyes stopped on the young man for a while, and then looked around the big courtyard. The most eye-catching thing in the courtyard was the huge chess in the garden.
Chess? I feel like there is a clip about this in my memory. Shangkawa suddenly knocked on the handle of the umbrella. It was too long and I really couldn't remember these not-so-deep things.
There is a tall tower to the east of the villa. The tower is quite high and covered with black marks, as if it has been burned by a fire.
"What's wrong with sitting on the tower?" Kamikawa asked, pointing at the tower.
"A fire broke out there four years ago. My mother and the servants in the castle were burned to death." The noble man from the palace looked at the tower with sadness. A big fire not only buried his mother, but also buried dozens of mothers.
"Big Fire?" Didn't anyone notice such a big fire? Is there something wrong with the Kaito?
"Yes! That year, my mother came back to the castle to celebrate her grandmother's birthday. She arrived here in the middle of the night, but before dawn that day, the flames burned up. A dozen people together were burned to death in it."
"But no matter what, it's impossible for no one to notice such a big fire!"
"I'm also very strange." The noble man in the palace looked melancholy. The fire was like a thorn, piercing in his heart, making him feel resentful. "The fire broke out too suddenly and too fast, just like someone deliberately doing it. But after so many years, no clues can be found."
He changed his emotions and smiled again, "I heard that you are all members of the Magic Club, so you should be very good at solving puzzles! Actually, I have a little selfishness, and I want to ask everyone to solve the mystery in the castle together."
"Mystery?" Kuaido became interested.
"When my grandfather died, he once said that the person who unraveled the mystery of the castle would give him the most precious treasure."
When they heard the word "treasure", the young girls who had shrunk because so many people died here immediately became excited again.
Treasures can always be particularly attractive.
Shangchuan Shun looked at the chess and the tower again. The fire was probably a bloody case created by people who covet treasures.
"If possible, I hope everyone can find clues to the fire that year and seek justice for the more than a dozen lives that died!"
"No problem, it's included in us!" President Komatsu, who was full of justice, patted his chest and promised it.
"I'll take you to visit first!"
Everyone followed the noble man from the palace to visit this villa, which can be called the castle. There are three huge portraits in the hall of the castle, namely the deceased master, the noble man from the palace to the palace, and his biological father.
The person he now calls his father is his stepfather, who married into their house six years ago when his biological father died.
The eldest lady, the owner of the castle, pushed the wheelchair all the way. She was gray-haired and wrinkled on her face. She looked at the group of people following the noble man from the palace. She rolled the wheels on the wheelchair and said to herself: "Why haven't my daughter been back yet?"
Everyone stared at her blankly, all at a loss.
It was not until the eldest lady walked away that the noble man from the palace explained to everyone: "Sorry, my grandmother has become like this since that fire."
Looking at the old man's back as he walked away, Shangchuan's eyes narrowed slightly, without any turbulence in his eyes.
"Did you see it?" Kuaito stood beside him, his voice was very small but enough for Kazukawa Shun to hear it clearly.
