Is Chapter 275 now ours?
"Hey, wait a minute!" Conan stopped and grabbed the pink-haired girl who was running ahead. He gave a helpless smile and pointed behind him. "I saw an exit over there."
Makoto blinked, chuckled without a hint of embarrassment, and pushed Conan's back as they walked back. "Let's hurry up and go!"
They climbed out of the secret passage and came to the hall, where it was completely quiet.
The two walked up to the portrait of the master and together they spun the painting around to reveal a passage hidden on the back.
Looking at the passageway, Kawasaki Machi couldn't help but remark, "Seriously, don't they clean behind the paintings when they're cleaning?"
Conan was speechless for a moment upon hearing this, but then he inexplicably felt that there was some truth to it, so he chuckled a few times and said, "Perhaps it's because this painting is too big."
Zhenzhi said "Oh" and then climbed up first.
The two of them opened the door together and were greeted by a breathtaking night view.
The silver moon hangs in the distant sky, the deep blue night sky, free of fog and clouds, looks pristine. The twinkling stars are like pearls adorning a goddess's black veil, shining with a gentle yet captivating light. In the tranquil night, only the symphony of leaves left by the evening breeze blowing through the forest can be heard.
"I would like to dedicate this castle and this view to the first person who finds this place."
Conan looked at the words carved on the door and read them softly.
A look of sudden realization appeared on Zhenzhi's face. He looked at the scenery outside, then smiled and said, "But this kind of scenery really does deserve to be called a 'treasure'!"
Conan, hands in his pockets, looked at the night view and nodded in agreement, when he heard Machi's excited voice from the side.
"So, as the first people to discover this place, does this castle belong to us!?"
Conan stumbled, adjusted his slipping glasses, and forced a smile. "The transfer of fixed assets requires a contract, you know."
Zhenzhi stuck out her tongue and smiled, "I know~ It was just a joke."
"Alright, let's go down. Professor Agasa and the others must be worried after disappearing for so long."
Upon hearing this, Zhenzhi twitched the corner of his mouth. They had been worried about this for a long time.
Conan took one last look at the scenery outside and shook his head, seemingly with some regret.
It's truly sad that someone would undergo plastic surgery to look like that just for a treasure.
After closing the door, the two returned to the hall through the passageway.
On their way to find Professor Agasa and his friends, Machi Kawasaki, who was near the wall, was suddenly pulled into a hidden door.
True knowledge: ? ? ?
Conan: !!!
Caught off guard, Kawasaki Machi fell to the ground and exclaimed in confusion, "Huh?"
What's going on?
He got up, dusted himself off, and then heard knocking sounds and Conan's voice coming from the other side of the wall, "Machi? Are you alright?"
Zhenzhi raised her hand and knocked back, then replied, "I'm fine! But why did this secret door suddenly open?"
Conan looked around but couldn't find anything nearby that could control the secret door. After giving Machi a word of advice, he ran off to another location.
"Don't move! I'll find you from somewhere else!"
Listening to his footsteps gradually fading away, Makoto pouted, "Even though he told me not to move here, I... feel even more eager to move now."
He sighed, hands on his hips, then squatted down, hugging his knees and resting his chin on his arms.
