Chapter 240

"Inspector Megure!?"

Mitsuhiko and Genta exclaimed.

"We received a call from Hoshino-kun, saying there was a monster here at the castle."

"A monster?"

Everyone looked puzzled.

"Yeah, according to him, it's a very ugly monster that eats children..."

Inspector Megure suddenly made a "ghost face".

"Eeeeek!"

The Detective Boys were instantly scared by Inspector Megure's ghost face.

Their little faces turned pale.

All running toward Hoshino Mu's direction.

"Wait a minute! Over there!"

Conan suddenly realized something.

He raised his head, turned around, and reached out his hand in alarm.

He wanted to stop the children from approaching Hoshino Mu!

But!

It was too late!

"Eeeeek! Aaaaaah!"

The children's screams echoed through the sky.

That day.

Would eventually become the day the children could never erase the fear from their hearts.

They clearly saw.

The "monster" Hoshino Mu was holding!

The culprit had been caught.

After Conan's perfect deduction.

And confirmation from the doctor's friend at the plastic surgery hospital.

It was revealed that the old woman was the culprit who had set the fire and committed the crime years ago.

This old woman had undergone plastic surgery to look like the mistress.

Because she was afraid her identity would be exposed.

She killed the mistress's daughter and her classmates.

Successfully living in this castle as the mistress.

For the next twenty years.

This old woman had been searching for the castle's so-called treasure.

Because Conan discovered the secret passage.

She intended to kill everyone present.

It's just a pity she slipped up.

After knocking Conan unconscious.

She had the misfortune of provoking Hoshino Mu.

Failing to kill, she almost got killed herself.

Based on the chessboard in the courtyard.

Conan finally found the specific location of the castle's treasure.

After learning the location of the treasure.

The old woman crawled toward where the treasure was like a madwoman.

Because she was seriously injured.

Her crawling posture was extremely twisted.

Like a zombie crawling on the floor.

Coupled with the wounds all over her body and her hideous old face.

It made the police and everyone else afraid to step forward to stop her.

When she opened the door in the secret compartment.

She was instantly dumbfounded.

Because the treasure in this castle was actually just a beautiful view.

Behind that door was written.

If

Group

"If you solve my puzzle, I will give you the most beautiful scenery in this castle."

"I killed so many people for this stuff..."

The old woman's ugly face suddenly became even older.

Two tears of regret flowed down that swollen face.

She covered her face, which was full of wounds.

Weeping bitterly:

"And I turned myself into this old and ugly look..."

This housekeeper spent years of her youth.

Spending her whole life in this castle.

Not hesitating to undergo plastic surgery to look like an old woman.

Killing so many innocent people for nothing.

It's truly pathetic.

The old woman confessed her evil deeds.

The police were about to take her away.

Waiting for her.

Was the sanction of the law.

As she was being taken away.

The old woman suddenly turned her head...

"Before I go... can I ask a question..."

"What question?"

Inspector Megure asked.

"That person... that young man... is he mute? Or deaf..."

The old woman raised her handcuffed hands.

Trembling slightly, pointing at Hoshino Mu.

"Huh? You mean him?"

Miyano Akemi, next to Hoshino Mu, pointed at Hoshino Mu's face.

"Yeah!"

The old woman nodded.

"Neither..."

Ai Haibara replied to her.

"Then... never mind... hahahahaha..."

The old woman seemed to want to ask something else.
