"That's great, these chess pieces are all arranged so beautifully~" Yoshida Ayumi lay down by the window on the third floor and looked down at the chess sculpture in the yard.

This room was found by the gardener for them, and the room where they could see all the chess piece sculptures and the entire chess board.

At this time, Conan was next to Ayumi Yoshida. He tiptoed to the window, holding a pen and a small notebook in his hand, recording the positions of each piece on the chessboard.

Tsunta Kojima wanted to see it too, but he leaned over to the window and almost squeezed the two people in front to the wall and didn't see it.

"You can also see the windows on this side." Tsunya Mitsuhiko's voice came from the window next door.

When Kojima Tsuta heard this, he ran to the next door happily to watch with Mitsuhiko Tubaya.

"It's so great. Isn't this your favorite code?"

Haibara Ai looked down at the small notebook in Conan's hand sitting on the ground. Seeing her approaching so close, the latter suddenly flashed back in his head about the scene at Dr. Agasa's house that day. The scene was probably already engraved in his DNA.

Meow's auditory hallucinations sounded in his mind, as if he had massaged all his brain cells, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.

"What are you thinking about inappropriate things?" Haibara Ai said coldly when he saw Conan's expression was not in response.

"Uh... nothing, hahaha... I'm just thinking about puzzles." Conan touched the back of his head, turned his face to the side, avoiding Ai Haibara's sharp gaze.

"By the way, what is your real age?"

"Ah, don't you know that asking a woman's age is very rude? This is a more strictly confidential information than the news from the Black Organization." Haibara Ai gave him a blank look.

"Uh... I just feel curious. Today, Mizuki said you were her daughter, and you didn't see you refute it. How old are you, you are really like a child acting cute with his father..." Conan smiled embarrassedly.

"Isn't it possible? Orphans like me who died in the organization who grew up in the first-born parents who never know what fatherly love and motherly love are, so don't deserve to experience this feeling?" Haibara Ai looked at him coldly.

"Uh...I don't mean that." Conan was already sweating profusely, "I mean Mizuto looks very young, if Dr. Agasa, it would be normal."

"Hmph, Dr. Agasa's words are probably only grandpa. As for Brother Mizuki, I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always think he is much more mature than he seems..." Ai Haibara snorted coldly, and did not continue to argue with him, but said thinking.

"Is it much more mature than it seems..." Conan seemed to have grasped some inspiration when he heard this, but he had no idea.

"I said, what are you two doing?" Ayumi Yoshida, who was lying on the window behind Conan, suddenly shouted, interrupting Conan's thoughts.

Conan quickly got up and went to the window, sticking his head out of the window to check, and saw that the next window was Tsubasa Kojima was raising the outer edge of the window, hanging from the wall, looking like he was about to fall down at any time.

He hurried to the next room and was relieved to see that Kojima Tsuta had already climbed up with the help of Mitsuhiko Tubaya.

"Really..." Conan couldn't help but hold down the wall.

"Ah?"

Conan noticed something was wrong. The window of this room was next to the wall, and the window of the next room was also next to this wall. Where was the space so big in the middle?

He knocked with his hands everywhere on the wall. Sure enough, there was a place where the sound was obviously different and it seemed a little hollow. He looked up at the abnormal wall part and saw a clock hanging on it. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise his mouth and showed a confident smile.

...

Gu Shuiquan walked out of the bathroom on the first floor, and the time should be almost done.

Before entering the castle, he asked Conan what to choose to satisfy his curiosity and avoid unnecessary risks. Conan chose to satisfy his curiosity without hesitation. He also called it the curiosity of a detective that the danger could not be defeated.

Gu Shuiquan was not convinced by Conan's choice, but since he was so brave, there was no need to stop him. While he had not yet been online with the Black Organization, he used this small case to let him see more of the beatings of society and recall the fear of a stick in the back of his head, which should be of great help to his growth.

It is better to have a profound experience of falling once than to hear the truth thousands of times. As for what is not possible once, then you will do it a few more times. As long as you don’t die, you will always wake up.

"Conan is gone?"

When Tani Shuiquan went up to the third floor, he saw Dr. Agasa and the gardener standing at the door of the room, as if he was learning about the situation with several children from the Youth Detective Group.

"I think I must have gone to the bathroom. The bathroom is on the lower floor. Let's go and have a look together." The gardener guessed.

"No need to go, he is not in the bathroom, I just came back from there." Gu Shuiquan walked smoothly to the few people.

"That's how..." The gardener was still a little afraid of this cold man, and always felt uncomfortable in front of the latter.

"Then where did he run? Could it be that he was hiding where he wanted to scare us?" Kojima Yuanta said with a wicked smile.

"It's possible, that guy Conan is sometimes quite childish." Mushihiko Tsunya agreed.

"That's it." Yoshida Ayumi also agreed with a smile.

"Young Master, the dinner is ready." A man dressed in a waiter suddenly came to everyone.

"Ah, it's already this time. We have prepared dinner for you. Let's go down and have a meal together." The noble man who heard the sound to check the situation smiled and greeted everyone.

"Ah, it's great, is there any eel rice?"

Kojima Tsubaki was about to flow out, and Mushihiko Tsubaya was looking expectant, both of them threw the disappearing Conan behind their heads, only Akimi Yoshida looked worried.

"But we have to find Conan as soon as possible..."

The nobleman looked at the cute little girl and smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, as long as he is hungry, he will run out."

...

In the restaurant.

Haibara Ai sat on a high-back chair and looked even more petite. She pulled the clothes of the neighbor Tanizumizumi and signaled that she had something to say. Tanizumi bent over and turned over when she saw this.

"Kudo must be in trouble. He is not a child, so it is impossible for him to go out to play like Tsuna and the others said. In addition, I found that there were several books scattered in the room where he disappeared, and a chair slumped to the ground, and above these things was a clock. I suspect that there are secret rooms and other places in this castle, and that clock is likely to be the mechanism to open the secret rooms."

Gu Shuiquan nodded, and said in a calm and soothing tone: "Well, I understand, leave it to me. I will go to find him later. Have a good meal first, and you can only deal with various situations after you have enough."

After Haibara Ai told Tani Mizuto about his concerns, he felt much more relaxed. If someone could rely on him, he would not have to worry about everything. He could be confident and bold in entrusting the difficult things to him and wait with peace of mind. This feeling is really good...

Do children with parents grow up in such an environment?
