Chapter 234

A very cruel fire once occurred.

Burning to death the daughter of the old master and the old mistress of this castle.

That fire was fierce and sudden.

Along with the butler and servants who served her, they were also burned to death.

No one could escape.

Now, the only people left in this castle are the old mistress, her daughter's son-in-law, and her grandson.

"The old master once left a will."

"Whoever can solve the puzzle in the castle will be given the most precious treasure."

"A puzzle?"

Conan touched his chin in thought.

Hoshino Mu stood by a window in a room.

Looking down at the Western chessboard.

Just then.

The beret-wearing butler brought a group of children in.

"This is it. You can see the Western chessboard below very clearly from this room!"

"Wow, wow, wow! It's so spacious!"

"Yeah! This really is a castle!"

The noisy voices of the Detective Boys suddenly spread throughout the room.

"Have you solved the puzzle yet? Brother?"

Ai Haibara walked to Hoshino Mu's side.

Then leaned against his leg with ease.

Her arms crossed.

Like a lazy, noble cat.

"Brother?"

Hoshino Mu lowered his head slightly to look at Ai Haibara.

"Yeah, brother... you need to speed up!"

"Conan over there is almost done solving it..."

"The treasure of this castle..."

Ai Haibara looked at Conan with interest.

"Are you curious?"

Hoshino Mu asked Ai Haibara.

His gaze following her line of sight.

"Well! Who knows."

Not far from the two of them.

Conan was focused on the Western chessboard outside the window.

Painting and drawing in his notebook while looking.

Feeling as if nothing else existed.

Clearly, he was solving the puzzle of this Western chess game.

"Ah! What are you doing? How can you be so close?"

Suddenly! Ayumi's voice came from the side.

Ai Haibara was instantly startled and stood up straight.

"Stupid, what are you doing?"

Conan's voice also came from the side.

Conan immediately ran out of the room.

Ayumi followed.

Hoshino Mu leaned out the window and turned to look at the next room.

Genta and Mitsuhiko were hanging on the window.

Ai Haibara had regained her composure.

Following them to the next room.

"......"

Hoshino Mu looked deeply at Ai Haibara's back.

And followed.

He arrived in the next room.

He didn't pay attention to the children first.

But walked straight to the wall.

There must be a mystery hidden in this wall.

Because the windows of the two rooms were too close together.

According to the construction of a normal room.

The window should be in the middle of each room.

Looking from above the two rooms.

The distance between the window and the wall was significantly closer than on the other side.

From this, it can be inferred.

There is a secret passage set up between these two rooms.

"Hoshino-niichan... what are you looking at?"

Conan suddenly appeared.

Looking at Hoshino Mu with an inquisitive look.

"Nothing."

Hoshino Mu just glanced at Conan.

Then turned and left the room.

Conan placed his arm against the wall.

Staring deeply at Hoshino Mu's back.

Who exactly is Hoshino Mu?

He can always find the key to solving the case before him.

Just like today.

He actually arrived in this room a step ahead of them.

Looking at the way he looked at the wall just now. ===== CHAPTER 235 =====
