Chapter 99 Too smart girls can hardly be happy
"So that's it." After listening to Tan Shuiquan's brief introduction and the additions of a few little ghosts, Conan finally figured out the situation.
"Where is Dr. Agasa?"
"He said he had a friend who was doing a plastic surgery doctor, so he went to ask if he knew of such a strange guest who asked to make himself plastic surgery into an old woman." Ai Haibara replied lightly.
"Ah, Conan, are you awake?" Dr. Agasa happened to be back.
"Doctor...what is wrong with you?" Conan looked at Dr. Agasa with a strange expression. The latter's glasses were covered with spider-web-like cracks, and there was a noticeable redness, swollenness and bulge on his forehead.
"Uh...this is it... I accidentally hit the wall after calling..." Dr. Agasa said hesitantly, with an awkward look on his face.
Tani Shuiquan remembered the back of the head that Dr. Agasa was about to be subjected to. He looked at his current appearance and was OK, it was much lighter. It seemed that his bad luck effect was weakening.
"How is it? Are there any gains? Doctor." Haibara Ai asked.
"Ah, the harvest is good. My friend told me that there was indeed such a strange patient who asked the plastic surgery doctor to turn her into an old woman. And I also found out that there was a female housekeeper who was missing ten years ago. Her name was Mumi Nishikawa. If nothing unexpected happened, the fake old lady was pretending to be the missing former housekeeper."
Dr. Agasa explained to several people with a slight pride that Dr. Agasa was super powerful in terms of intelligence abilities.
"Ah, so that's it. Doctor, have you called the police?" Conan asked after hearing the information.
"..." Dr. Agasa's movements stopped.
"Doctor, you won't forget to call the police. Will you be the one who did this?" Conan squinted his eyes and hung this meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.
"That's it. I'm the one who can do such a thing. What's wrong?" Dr. Agasa simply gave up.
"Ah, is the detective who was beaten unconscious and asked someone to save him? "Are you qualified to say that to others?" Haibara Ai looked at Conan with a slanted glance.
"That's it." Dr. Agasa suddenly became confident when he saw someone helping him speak.
"Doctor is just getting older, so he is just forgetful. It would be too rude to say that."
Conan was stunned. Why was he rude again? When he woke up from a coma, he suddenly became a typical example of impoliteness in everyone's eyes. What exactly happened?
Dr. Agasa couldn't help but nodded in agreement, but later he realized that why he was older? He was obviously young and was just fifty-two years old.
"I obviously..."
Dr. Agasa was about to defend himself, but the few people had already left. It had been a long time and it was almost dawn. Looking at the backs of the few people leaving, Dr. Agasa tried to reach out to get them back, but no one paid attention.
At this moment, Conan suddenly turned around, and Dr. Agasa looked happy, and Conan said, "Doctor, don't forget to call the police."
Dr. Agasa:...
Gu Shuiquan led a group of people from the room on the third floor to the position where the portraits were hung in the hall. When they arrived, the old man's portrait had been pulled open, revealing the secret passage behind him. Mr. Aman and the noble master were leaning against the railing and silently, while the old lady beside him was lying on the floor in dismay.
"Ah, it's Mr. Gu. It's such a rude thing to leave the guests behind before." Mr. Aman still greeted the few people with a little boldness as before.
"It's okay, how about it, the treasure was found?"
"Well... I found it." Mr. Aman was a little melancholy, but he still smiled freely.
"May I take a look at it?"
"Of course, please."
Gu Shuiquan climbed up the ladder in the secret passage and soon arrived at the top. There was a small platform for footing. A stone door on the edge of the platform had been opened. The outdoor air rushed in with the breeze, mixed with the smell of soil after the rain.
Gu Shuiquan bent down and stood on the platform, looking at the words engraved on the stone gate: I would like to give this castle and this scene to the first person to find this place.
Gu Shuiquan looked at the dim sky outside, and felt the atmosphere was sad. How ironic was the old man's engravings compared with the old lady's engravings in the basement.
"I think the old lady should not resent the old lady." Haibara Ai's voice suddenly rang behind Tani Shuizumi.
"Why did you suddenly talk about this?" Tanizumi turned around and looked at Ai Haibara with his hands behind his back.
"I just guess that this is what you thought about in the basement before, right?" Haibara Ai looked at the calm face of Tani Mizuto, and sighed in his heart.
The old man's love for his family eventually brought disaster to them. Will they resent this love joke? This should be what Gu Shuiquan cares about. After all, Gu Shuiquan's halo of bad luck is such a thing that distorts all love and feelings into disaster.
"Look." A ray of light suddenly broke into the castle, and Ai Haibara quickly signaled Tani Mizuto to look outside.
Gu Shuiquan turned his head and looked outside. The rising sun in the sky had begun to emerge. The scene that had just seemed desolate became lively under the light. The green forest was green and the lake water in the distance was sparkling, making it beautiful.
"This kind of scenery is indeed the old man's most precious treasure. He left his most precious things to his family, so how could his family be resentful for this?"
"The old man is an intellectual who is full of incorrect ideas. I guess the old lady should be in charge of the affairs in this family, including money and assets. So she should have known from the beginning that the so-called treasures would not be particularly valuable things like treasures."
"But the last words she wrote before her death were not someone who killed herself, but emphasized that someone wanted to take away the treasure, which shows how much she cared about the 'worthless' treasure left by the old man."
"How can you be resentful if you care like this? Do you think so, Brother Mizuki?" Ai Haibara had a faint smile on his face, which looked extremely dazzling under the morning light.
Tani Shuizumi couldn't help laughing, touched Haibara's head, and said, "It's hard for a girl who is too smart to be happy."
...
The matter was over, the fake old lady was taken away, she gave her youth for the treasure game between her family and turned herself into an old lady, and her life had no future.
Mr. Aman is indeed a character. He longs for treasures to be true, but he treats feelings as well, and he speaks frankly without shyness.
The noble young master originally thought there was something wrong with the fire four years ago, so he came back to investigate. Now that he knew the truth, he can finally let go.
However, Ai Haibara's expression was unswerving. She ignored Tani Mizuki when she returned. The reason was that after Tani Mizuki said, "It's hard for a girl to be too smart to be happy." Haibara's Ai was hit on the forehead by a small stone that suddenly fell off. Because the incident happened too suddenly, neither of them could react.
Although it was nothing serious, the swollen bag made Haibara Ai look a little funny. After that, she kept her face cold. Even when Tanizumi took out her hat and put it on her, she didn't say thank you.
