The police investigation continued until dawn. At this time, there was a faint light on the horizon.

The children stayed up all night and were always paying attention to the progress of the investigation. It was not until the police brought the living prisoners, the dead prisoners, and the corpse that had been lying in the secret passage of the castle for who knows how many years into the car that they suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Brother Ye Ling, didn’t you say you already knew where the treasure was? Yuantai asked excitedly. Mitsuhiko and Ayumi also looked over excitedly. After all, their original purpose of coming to the castle was to hunt for treasure.

Ye Ling lowered his head and glanced at Conan, and asked with a smile:"Conan should already know this." Bar?"

"ah?"Conan didn't expect Ye Ling to suddenly ask himself, but after thinking about it, this time he did not deny it, but nodded and admitted directly,"Yes, the clues to the treasure have been clearly stated on the chessboard.."

Conan told his reasoning. On the chess board, each square has its own serial number. Usually the top black and the bottom white are represented by the English letters AH and numbers. From the perspective of the"knight", look at the white chess in order, The letters are EGG_HEAD, commonly known as intellectuals who love to reason.

"Intellectuals refer to the great masters who are historians. Conan explained:"Black's chess piece made a G shape of an English letter. In fact, it was not a G, but a rotating arrow.""

Xiao Ai and the doctor are a little surprised.

Why is Conan reasoning in front of Ye Ling now? They don't know that Conan is deliberately showing off his flaws to test Ye Ling because he suspects that Ye Ling may not really be an enemy.

Wait.

After Conan finished speaking, Ye Ling turned his attention to the maid, Miss Hojo Masae, and said,"By the way, didn't your fellow maid tell you that there was something in that stone tower two years ago? In fact, he mistook the arrow for the G that represents Green, and mistakenly thought that the treasure was in a stone tower surrounded by green space.

After entering, he was imprisoned by the dowager and starved to death.

……"

Yahui was shocked and couldn't help but shed tears.

Yuantai was confused by what he heard and couldn't help asking:"Where is the treasure?"

"Since you all want to know, let’s go and take a look together"

……

Ye Ling led everyone to the castle hall and stood in front of the huge portrait of the great master. He moved the frame in the direction indicated by the black arrow. As a result, after the painting was moved, a hole was exposed in the wall with a ladder inside.

"ah! Another secret passage! Is the treasure here?"

Yantai was so excited that he couldn't help but wanted to climb up, but was stopped by Mitsuhiko.

"Wait, Genta, don’t you know that ladies come first?!"In this aspect, Mitsuhiko seems to be a very gentleman.

But obviously, his words did not have the desired effect. Although Ayumi was happy, Xiao Ai said expressionlessly:"Ayumi and I Go up last, you go first."

Ye Ling glanced at Xiao Ai and Bumi, and said the same:"Girls, go up last."

Guangyan was dumbfounded. He originally wanted to please the girls, but why were the girls unhappy? And Brother Ye Ling also said the same

"Why?"He asked in confusion.

Ye Ling was speechless and reminded:"Didn't you see that Xiao Ai and Bumei were both wearing skirts?"

Skirt? Mitsuhiko was stunned, looked at the two girls, and then turned to look at the ladder. As if he suddenly realized something, his face turned red like a cooked crab, still steaming.

"ah! No, I, I didn’t mean that! This, this is a misunderstanding!"

……

The boys all climbed up the ladder and came to a platform, and then Ayumi and Xiao Ai also climbed up. It was pitch dark on the platform and nothing could be seen, but there seemed to be a door in front, and golden light was emitting from the cracks around the door.

"Ah ha ha! The treasure must be shining! Yuantai couldn't wait to run over and open the door. Suddenly, golden light came in and illuminated the entire platform.

When everyone's eyes adjusted, they found that what caught their eyes was not the treasure, but the sky with the rising sun outside.

"Eh? Where is the treasure? Why is there nothing? Yuantai couldn't react at all.

Conan reminded from the side,"Isn't it written on the door?" I want to give this castle, and its scenery, to the first person to arrive."After saying this, Conan began to admire the gradually brightening sky outside.

Genta and Mitsuhiko's dream was shattered. It turned out that there was no treasure at all, this was just a prank of an old naughty boy.

"Wow, it’s so beautiful. You can see the sun rising from here!"Bumi looked very happy when she saw the sunrise.

Xiao Ai put her hands on her back and looked at the rising sun. The sky gradually turned white, and the originally dark forest also glowed with life. After experiencing the aftermath of the disaster, this scene was a big surprise to Xiao Ai. Unexpectedly, her mood quietly changed. Whether disappointed or happy, there is nothing more precious in this world than seeing the sun the next day.

……

At dawn, everyone left the mountain in Ye Ling's Wuling Hongguang. Before leaving, the maid, Miss Hojo Masae, took out her usual savings to pay Ye Ling a commission fee, but Ye Ling only took a symbolic amount.

Because the owner of the castle is gone and the servants are collectively unemployed, Yahui needs money more than Ye Ling. Ye Ling's move also made Conan have a great change in his view of him, and it also made his identity more elusive.

Since Xiao Ai was injured, Ye Ling first sent Xiao Ai to the hospital for a check-up. After confirming that it was just a skin injury, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, the group returned to Mihua Town that morning

……

Days passed by, and after the Blue Castle incident, Xiao Ai's estrangement towards Ye Ling had completely disappeared. During this time, the children dragged her to play in Ye Ling's villa, and she no longer resisted at all.

On this day, Ye Ling was alone in the villa when the doorbell suddenly rang. He thought it was the children coming, but when he opened the door, he found a strange middle-aged man standing outside the courtyard.

"Is this Detective Ye Ling?"The man asked. Another client came to the door.

The man was about fifty years old. He was wearing a suit and was very well-dressed, but he didn't look like a rich man.

"I am Ye Ling, who are you?"

"My name is Akio Shigematsu, I am a housekeeper by profession, and I would like to entrust you with a favor."The man said.

Ye Ling invited him into the house to sit down, made tea to receive him, and then asked,"What can I do for you?""

"Have you heard of Senyuan Group? asked Akio Shigematsu

"heard about it."Due to the urgent needs of his profession, Ye Lingye gained a lot of necessary knowledge. Otherwise, if he didn't even know these most basic things, which customer would be willing to entrust a detective with such a low level of posture?

Meio Shigematsu explained:"I am from the Morizon family. Butler, not long ago I introduced a woman to the young master. The young master fell in love with her at first sight. They will get married tomorrow. However, I want to ask you to stop their marriage!"
