Chapter 29 2. Reckless man

"Black Rose Castle" stands on a low hill. Although the appearance is not majestic and grand enough, the towering scenery such as the observation post, minaret and bell edge are very strange. It is really hard to describe the beauty of this building whenever the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the building. "Uncle, it's so beautiful, this castle is so beautiful!" Fujio let out a series of exclamation sounds. "Yes! But there is a sad story in this magnificent building, and the people who live in the castle now don't even have time to shed sad tears."

"Uncle, what kind of story is that?" "I'm about to tell you right now..." When the two of them were talking and walking on the gentle slope leading to the "Castle of Heizheng", a man suddenly jumped out of the nearby woods. When the man saw Dr. Odagiri and Fujio, he stopped in surprise, and then ran away in a panic. The man's appearance and dress were very strange, so Dr. Odagiri and Fujio were also taken aback by him. The man was wearing a pair of big sunglasses, his face was covered with a beard, and he looked like a black bear. In addition, there is a long scar from his forehead to the corner of his left eye, which can be shocking at first glance. In addition, his clothes are very poor, as if wearing a large rag on his body, and his hands are still Holding a thick cane.

After Dr. Odagiri and Fujio looked at each other, the man immediately turned his face away and ran away in a hurry. "Uncle, that person is..." "Well, that person... If he's elusive and dangling like this, we have to be careful of everyone in the 'Black Rose Castle'..." Dr. Odagiri muttered a few words, then suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Tofu and asked: "By the way, Fujio, what did I just say?" "Uncle just said that there was a sad story in 'Black Rose Castle', so what kind of story is it?" "This is indeed a very strange thing... One night, the Viscount Gugong disappeared suddenly, like a haze."

"Why did the ancient official viscount disappear like smoke?" "I don't know. One night last summer, the wife and daughter of the ancient official viscount saw him enter the dormitory, but the next day, the ancient palace viscount disappeared! The strange thing is that the entrance and the back door of the house, And all the windows are locked, and there is no sign of the Viscount Gugong running away from home. The Viscount Guguan's family searched every corner of the castle, but they couldn't find him. That's why I said the Viscount Gugong Disappeared like smoke."

"It's really strange." "After the Viscount Gugong disappeared, his wife and daughter always believed that one day he would return to the 'Black Rose Castle' again. Michiko cried all day long. Because Mrs. Dazi was crying so hard, it is said that she has lost her eyesight." Hearing such a tragic story, Fujio also sighed. "Uncle, how old is Michiko?" "She is thirteen years old, one year younger than you. You two should be good friends. Ah! By the way! Another strange thing happened when the Viscount Gugong disappeared!" "What's the weird thing?"

"The Viscount Gugong has a hobby of collecting gems. He collected a lot of diamonds, rubies, etc., but after he disappeared, his family had searched for these gems, but they were never found." "That's odd." soon.They came to 'Black Rose Castle'. Since Dr. Odagiri had already contacted them in advance, Mrs. Tatsuko and Michiko welcomed them. After Mrs. Dazi became blind, she always wore a pair of green sunglasses on her face. Although Michiko is only a thirteen-year-old girl, she looks precocious and sensible than girls of the same age due to the tragic situation of her father's disappearance for no reason.

That night, in addition to Dr. Odagiri and Fujio, there was another guest in the "Black Masakaya Castle". His name is Ichiro Yanagisawa, a lawyer, and he recently bought a villa near the "Black Rose Castle" for summer vacation. Ichiro Yanagisawa was about forty years old, tall, and a very cultivated gentleman. "Recently, Mr. Yanagijin would come to our house every day, otherwise there would only be young Michiko and the helper at home, which is really worrying..." Madam Dazi said. Dr. Odagiri, Fujio and Ichiro Yanagisawa came to the reception room to chat together after having dinner at the "Black Rose Castle".

Because Fujio walked a long way during the day, he dozed off from time to time during the chat, and finally fell asleep due to exhaustion. Yanagisawa Ichiro carried him to the room on the second floor to sleep, it was about nine o'clock at that time.But Fujio was so tired that he didn't know that Yanagizawa Ichiro carried him back to his room to sleep. Later, Ichiro Yanagisawa and Dr. Odagiri chatted until twelve o'clock before going back to his villa. That night, after Fujio came to the room, he couldn't sleep anymore. He began to recall what Dr. Odagiri told him about the castle on the way to "Black Rose Castle" today.

Suddenly, Fujio heard a knock on the wall somewhere. Boom boom boom... The sound of knocking on the wall continued. It was only then that Fujio remembered that he had heard this sound in his sleep before, but he was definitely not dreaming now, someone was indeed knocking on the wall... He immediately sat up from the bed and looked around the room, and found an indescribable strange thing.
