On the side, Conan and Haihara Ai were observing the surroundings carefully, trying to find some clues or hints, but unfortunately, no matter how they looked, they could not find any special traces.
"Strange..." Conan murmured: "If you can hear laughter, it means there is definitely a way to get into the tower..."
Haiyuan Ai knocked on the tower: "With this thickness, unless the person happens to be standing on the top of the tower, it is impossible for people outside to hear laughter from inside, even late at night."
Conan said 'hmm': "At least it's certain that the interior of the tower is definitely not completely sealed."
"Would you like to visit other places?" Kagami Nanami asked a few people with a smile.
To her, this Dark Tower is just a landmark building of the Jingtang family. As for whether she can find the treasure... she has expectations, but she doesn't have high expectations.
Conan obviously noticed this, pointing to the dirt ground aside and asked:
"Sister Nanami, even if there is no entrance to the outside of this tower, we should be able to get in by digging a tunnel underneath."
Hmm... If the treasure is of great value, it is indeed the simplest and most labor-saving method, but it will inevitably destroy the nearby rose garden. Considering that the land and residence will be sold in the near future, it is really not suitable for such damage. Works for the price…
Ye Gengyi is still thinking.
Mao Lilan only thought that Conan was being childish and said with a smile:
"However, digging the tunnel will become a big project, and so many beautiful roses will be destroyed."
"Actually, my stepmother also suggested digging the ground, but that would not only destroy these roses, but also destroy some of grandpa's designs. Come here, I will show you."
Kagami Nanami motioned for everyone to follow her through the arch of the garden and came to a row of garden lights.
"one two three……"
She counted a few silently, stood still and pointed to another garden arch leading to the 'Tower of Darkness', and said:
"Look over there."
Everyone looked around and saw the 'Dark Tower' behind the arch, filling their sight upside down as if falling from the sky.
"Wait! Wait a minute... What is that?! My eyes seem a little strange..." Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko couldn't help but exclaimed.
Mao Lilan also showed a surprised expression.
Only Ye Gengyi, Conan and Huihara Ai reacted mediocrely.
"Because someone installed a lens in the middle," Conan said.
"Eh? Little brother, you are very smart, that's it! Grandpa obviously made it very hidden when designing..."
Kagado Nanami said, stepping on the hidden control switch at the bottom of the garden light, and explained: "This is the control mechanism, but I don't know exactly how to make it, because my father is a child-in-law, and since my mother passed away The only person who will understand the principles of these mechanisms in the future is Mr. Lai, my grandfather’s former assistant, so it is impossible for my father, who is eager for money, to agree to dig up the courtyard..."
Hearing this, Conan scratched his head in embarrassment, "I...I just said it casually."
"Have you never learned how to make mechanisms since you were a child?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"No, because I have an older brother..."
"Ouch? Nanami, it's so lively."
At this time, a woman wearing a light green dress, who was a few years older than Kaido Nanami, came from the corner.
What a strong perfume...
Ye Gengyi looked at the other person habitually, and at the same time he guessed what Kaido Nanami wanted to express in the second half of her interrupted sentence.
There is also an older brother.
This means that unless the elders of the Kagōdō family have planned in advance that Kagōdō Nanami will only be able to have a wife and not marry outside, it will be impossible to teach her the skills of the Kagōdō family in this life.
"Nanami, are they all your friends?" The woman in a light green dress walked up to them and asked.
"Oh, these are my teachers and junior high school girls."
After Kagado Nanami finished speaking, she introduced to Ye Gengyi and others:
"She is my stepmother, Miss Taozhi."
teacher……
Jingtang Taozhi's eyes fell on Ye Gengyi's face. It took him a few seconds to come back to his senses, and his voice became a little softer and said:
"It turns out you are Nanami's teacher. Thank you for taking care of my daughter."
"No, you're welcome." Ye Gengyi nodded slightly.
Uh... is it an illusion? This teacher is quite handsome, but I always feel like he's not easy to get along with...
Jingtang Taozhi was stunned, not yet thinking about how to answer the question.
Here, Kaido Nanami changed the topic:
"You seemed to be discussing things with your brother and father just now. Did you find any clues related to the 'treasure'?"
"Aqin only said something like a blue button...I don't even remember what it means..."
Jingdang Taozhi seemed to not want to mention it anymore, and also changed the subject, looked at the Young Detective Team, and said:
"These children should still be primary school students, right?"
"Hello! We are the Junior Detective Team!"
Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta shouted out their self-introductions in unison, which frightened Kaedou Momoe and took a few steps back unconsciously.
"They were also invited by me. Well... to be more precise, they came to my house to hunt for treasures."
Kagado Nanami smiled and said, "Mom, you should also welcome them."
"...Okay, okay, then I'll look forward to your performance." Jingtang Taozhi gave a perfunctory smile.
What help with the treasure hunt!
If the treasure is found by Nanami, she will definitely give it to her father in exchange for a promise not to sell this place, but what about her own money? ! It’s not like you won’t get a dime by then!
no! Definitely have to find the treasure before these people do!
Thinking about it, she turned around and left here without waiting for anyone to respond.
"Where does that direction lead to?" Ye Gengyi suddenly asked.
"Huh? Oh! You mean over there..."
Kagado Nanami looked at the corner where her stepmother disappeared and explained: "That's a warehouse not far from the main house. It used to be used to store items such as seasonings and red wine. Later, the family didn't have enough money to afford hiring. The servants took care of it, and it gradually turned into a place where everything was piled up..."
"That's right." Ye Gengyi nodded without comment.
Drawing a route from the direction that Kaoru Hall Moozhi left, she was obviously not wandering around, but searching with purpose... As for the items she was looking for, apart from the treasure, it could only be the entrance to the 'Dark Tower'.
Having such an 'aboriginal person' to help with the investigation, even if it is not very useful, can still play a part in the screening effect.
So, he decided to go over there and check it out later.
But, before that...
"Jingtang classmate, I'm a little thirsty. Can I go inside and have a glass of water?" Ye Gengyi was going to 'throw' Mao Lilan and several children from the Junior Detective Team into the house.
