Everyone followed Fang Zheng into the forest to find the mansion hidden on the other side of the island.

Although it was a storm, no one chose to stay. The adults were interested in Beatrice's gold. In front of gold, a little storm didn't matter.

The children were more curious about the mansion where Beatrice lived. So even in the storm, a group of people walked through the depths of the forest with umbrellas and flashlights - luckily this is an island, so

Don't worry about any uninvited animals in the forest.

Of course, to be on the safe side, they also asked Yuanci to lead the way. Although Yuanci refused at first, after Fang Zheng said, "We are all going anyway whether you talk or not." Apart from raising his hands and surrendering, he did nothing.

There are other ways.

With Genji leading the way, everyone arrived at the foreign mansion on the other side of the island without much effort.

"This is the mansion where Lady Beatrice lives."

After walking into the door, Genji turned on the light, and then whispered to everyone.

"It feels... like it's just an ordinary foreign hotel."

Battler put down his umbrella and looked around suspiciously.

"I originally thought that the place where the witch lived would have something spooky and scary, such as a bubbling cauldron, a weird black cat, and some scary specimens. Now it seems like this place is more normal than the villa we live in.

.”

"After that depressing tragedy, the master sealed this place off, and I haven't been here for a long time."

Looking at the mansion in front of him, Genci also showed a somewhat nostalgic expression, while Fang Zheng looked around, and then made a gesture to Genci.

"You don't mind if we look around."

"Of course, please do."

"Fangzheng, what are you looking for?"

At this time, Balcony walked up to Fang Zheng curiously and asked, but Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"Secret passages."

"………Secret passages?"

"That's right."

Fang Zheng nodded.

"I just took a look. The road from here to the villa where we are is really difficult to walk. You also said before that when you were chatting with Beatrice, she said that every two or three days, Kinzo

The sky will come once. With this frequency, walking this way is simply asking for trouble. And Mr. Kinzo will definitely be worried about being discovered. After all, many of you lived here at the time.

One day when he went out to look for Beatrice, one of you saw him and followed him out of curiosity. Isn't that a bad thing?"

"this……………"

"So Kinzo must have built a tunnel so that he could pass through the island without anyone noticing to meet Beatori secretly. Now I'm curious where the tunnel was built..."

"………………"

Hearing what Fang Zheng said, everyone else had black lines on their faces. They were looking for gold. But now it seems that Fang Zheng is more interested in the secret passage than gold...

"Okay, everyone."

Fang Zheng also turned around and looked at everyone.

"Next, should we search together slowly? Or should we work separately, each relying on his own ability and luck? You guys came here in the heavy rain, obviously not just to watch the fun."

"………………"

After hearing Fang Zheng's question, everyone was silent for a moment, then exchanged looks with each other, and then the eldest brother Zangjiu walked out.

"Then let's work separately. According to the letter, whoever finds the gold first will be the head of the Ushiromiya family. As for the distribution of the gold, it will be as we agreed during the day. No problem."

Hearing this, everyone nodded, but Zangjiu quickly added another sentence.

"But I have to add one more condition."

"What conditions?"

"No matter who discovers gold first, we will all give one-tenth of our share to the balcony, no problem."

"Huh? Huh?!"

Hearing this, the gallery looked a little flustered.

"Here, give it to me?"

"Of course, if it weren't for your boyfriend, we wouldn't have discovered this place. Maybe everyone is still wandering around the inscription."

At this moment, Eu's husband Hideyoshi also said with a smile in his unauthentic Kansai accent, and everyone else nodded.

"But, this......"

Balcony obviously didn't expect this. She looked at Fang Zheng in confusion, and the latter shrugged his shoulders.

"You decide your own money. In addition, I must remind everyone that I just guessed that the gold is here, and I am not sure, so if everyone can't find it... don't blame me for guessing wrong."

"We are just betting on the possibility."

At this time Wujiang also spoke.

"In any case, this is also a possibility. We have made a choice, and that is enough."

"very good."

Upon hearing Wu Jiang's answer, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Then, let's split up."

So next, the group of people split up as a family unit. Kurusu and the others went to the kitchen and dining room to investigate, while Battler's family went to the basement, and Eha and others chose to look for clues in the maid's room on the first floor.

, as for Fang Zheng, he took the balcony and wandered to the entertainment room in boredom.

"Do you really have a way to find the secret passage?"

Following Fang Zheng, Balcony asked in confusion, while Fang Zheng chuckled.

"Of course, it's actually not difficult to find the secret passage. No reasoning, no clues, nothing."

"Then how are you going to find it?"

At this time, Conan also complained speechlessly, and after hearing his words, Fang Zheng took a cue from the pool table next to him.

"It's very simple, a carpet search. Knock on all the places near the walls and the ground, and then you'll know the answer."

"……………………"

Well, this is indeed a very brainless, very simple, very convenient method that anyone can do.

Then everyone watched helplessly as Fang Zheng held the club, like a blind man exploring the road, and leaned forward little by little. Seeing this scene, Maria also raised her hand happily.

"Oh——Maria is coming too!"

While talking, Maria also took a small wooden stick and followed Fangzheng to knock on the floor under his feet. The balcony hesitated and took a club and started beating next to it. Looking at the scene in front of him, Conan was silent.

After a moment, he silently took a club from the side.

Anyway, as long as it works.

So this group of people circled around the entertainment room like blind men, and then came to the lounge next to it, and then...

"Wow, what are you doing?"

Hearing the knocking sound, Zangusu, Eha and others who were searching on the first floor also came over. They were also shocked when they saw a group of people pretending to be blind.

"Find the secret passage."

"Is this okay?"

Looking at Fang Zheng and his group who were knocking on the floor and wall calmly, the others looked at each other in silence. After a while, Zhu Zhixiang also walked over.

"It looks like fun, I'll come too."

"Let me give it a try too."

Rang Zhi also walked over... To be honest, they were not interested in looking for gold or anything like that, but the secret passage was very fun!

Soon, the Battler family who were searching in the basement were also attracted, and then they also joined the game of knocking on the floor.

Because there is really nothing to find, maybe... the gold is in the secret passage?

Everyone walked and knocked all the way, and finally, when they came to a lounge on the side of the mansion, the square cue made a "dong dong dong" sound when it hit one of the walls.

"right here!!"

Hearing this voice, Conan immediately became excited. He stretched out his hand, wiped the dusty wall in front of him vigorously, and then stretched out his hand to knock again.

"That's right, the back here is empty. There should be a secret door here..."

"real?!"

At this moment, others gathered around and looked at the wall curiously, while Conan stared around and began to think.

"Let me take a look. There should be information revealed about the layout of this room. There must be some clues..."

"No need."
To be continued...
