Zongman: My days as a chaebol in Japan

However, while watching the video, two hours had passed and it was already past three in the morning. Xiaolan and Sonoko were already yawning and feeling sleepy. They had not found any clues to move forward and their enthusiasm had faded. They just wanted to find a place to have a good rest.

Li Xuan saw that his two girlfriends were already sleepy, looked at the detectives who were still talking, said hello, and took Xiaolan downstairs, out of the villa, and returned to the Son of the Galaxy Wind. He adjusted the seat and laid it flat, and a comfortable big bed appeared.

As soon as Xiaolan and Yuanzi lay down, they seemed to have turned into soft-bodied animals. They were so sleepy, but they still cheered themselves up and let Li Xuan sleep in the middle. They each hugged one side and started the human-shaped pillow.

I don’t know how long it had been, Li Xuan heard a knock on the car window. Seeing that it was Maori Kogoro outside the car, Li Xuan moved his hand, and Xiaolan reluctantly moved her body and slightly let go of Li Xuan’s hand.

Li Xuan, with his hands free, placed Xiaolan next to Yuanzi, who had lost her Li Xuan-model pillow, and the two hugged each other.

After tidying up his clothes, Li Xuan opened the car door and walked out. Seeing Kogoro Mouri's serious expression, he asked, "Detective Mouri, is there anything I can help you with?"

Kogoro Mori looked serious and dignified as he told what had just happened, "Master Li Xuan, we may be in trouble this time. We found that in the past 20 years, all the detectives who received invitations to the annex were killed in the end. Just now, Mogi Haruki and Chima Kyouyo discovered a small path in the video that we didn't find, so they prepared to drive down the mountain. Unexpectedly, the car broke down and fell off the cliff not long after they drove down."

"So you are worried that my car has been tampered with?" Li Xuan reacted and thought of the reason why Kogoro Mouri came out to find him.

Seeing Kogoro Maori nod, Li Xuan indicated that he understood, and then shook his head, "My car is assembled with special craftsmanship. A normal person cannot remove a screw unless he has seen the drawings. Moreover, my car is made of special metal material. As long as there are no continuous explosions of C4, there will be no damage."

After hearing Li Xuan's words, Maori Kogoro's worried thoughts finally faded away, and he turned to talk to Li Xuan about Xiaolan. After getting Li Xuan's assurance, Maori Kogoro showed the satisfied look of a father.

Then he started discussing the matters at the villa with Li Xuan. Li Xuan was thinking about going back to the car and hugging the fragrant and soft Xiaolan and Sonoko. He had no interest in chatting with an uncle in the cold morning breeze, so he told the key information to Maori Kogoro.

"Detective Maori, if you are worried about the murderer, just don't separate. In a few hours, it will be completely light and the Metropolitan Police Department will be dispatched. You can leave then. If you must find the murderer, you can go to the attic to look for anything strange." After saying this, Li Xuan returned to the car and stood between Xiaolan and Sonoko. It was good to have a ready-made warm bed.

After getting the information from Li Xuan, Kogoro Mori returned to the annex and told everyone about the new information, so everyone returned to the attic on the second floor.

When Conan heard Mouri Kogoro say that Li Xuan and Xiaolan were resting in the car, his body stiffened again. Then he was attracted by the information brought by Mouri Kogoro and no longer thought about taking advantage of his status as a child to get some bed in the car.

The information that Maori Kogoro gave to Li Xuan was something that none of his group had grasped. There was no need to be surprised. After all, he came from a family that stood at the top in all aspects, so it was normal for him to be better than them.

Chapter 151 The Detective's Curiosity

The group returned to the attic and began to search more carefully.

Conan recalled what happened in the attic just now, and finally remembered the water marks where Okami Zhushan was dragged in the middle courtyard. Although the water marks in the attic were wiped dry this time, there were still tiny watermarks left.

Finally, Conan found something strange at the bottom of the computer desk. The sound was obviously crisper than other places, which meant that there was nothing underneath and there were no floor tiles.

Conan, who found the clue, said to Kogoro Mouri who was looking around the room, "Uncle Mouri, why is the sound here different from other places?"

After hearing Conan's words, Mouri Kogoro and the others immediately realized something and came over. Mouri Kogoro knocked on the floor of the computer desk with his hand, making a crisp sound, and immediately realized that there was nothing underneath.

"Brother Hakuba, come over and help me move these things. Maybe the answers we are looking for are underneath," Maori Kogoro called Hakuba to come over and help move the computer desk away.

Soon, the space became empty. After the computer desk was moved away, a finger-sized groove could be seen. Bai Ma leaned forward, hooked his finger, and pulled up the wooden board directly. A passage that could accommodate adults appeared in front of everyone.

"There is actually a passage here?" Bai Ma Tan showed a look of surprise, and then seemed to have thought of something.

"The architectural structure of the annex is opposite, so the storage room of the kitchen is below. No wonder we didn't see any dragging water marks in other places in the corridor when Okami Zhushan's body appeared here." After saying this, Hakuba Tan and Maori Kogoro looked at each other and walked down the corridor one after another.

Being a detective is a profession that requires a lot of curiosity. Soon, Bai Ma and his team appeared in the storage room. This time, Da Shang Zhu Shan's body was not stolen and was still in the ice storage.

When they got here, they started thinking and soon moved a table in the corner. There turned out to be a door handle behind the table.

"Everyone, do you want to continue? We don't know how many people are on the other side, but what we do know is that the detective who came here before disappeared and should have died at the hands of these people," Bai Ma Tan looked a little solemn and serious, and asked the three people behind him.

"Our other safe option is to wait until the Metropolitan Police Department arrives tomorrow before entering. What do you think?" Detective Hakuba offered another option.

However, this plan was rejected as soon as it was proposed. The first person to speak was a woman named Ikumi Gunada. "Detective Hakuba, we are detectives after all, not weak people. The murderer may be right in front of us. We will feel very sad if we don't catch them." Ikumi Gunada is worthy of being a forensic doctor. The heroic spirit of a man is also reflected in her.

Hearing that the only girl present was not afraid, Hakuba Tanjiro and Maori Kogoro were ready. As for Conan, Gunda Ikumi held his hand. What could a child do? Be a hostage to the other side? Of course, they didn't know about the black technology Conan was wearing now.

The blocked door was pulled open with force, and inside the door was a passage leading downwards. The smell coming out shocked the people present, as they actually smelled the smell of soil and gravel.

The flashlight shone inside, and there were clear footprints on the ground.

"Look, the traces and tracks of the footprints indicate that someone comes in and out here every once in a while, no more than three people at most, and two people is the most likely," said the white horse detective, who expressed his opinion after seeing that the ground was covered with mud and observing the traces left on it.

"No, there were only two people. The patterns and marks on the shoes are very new and messy, but there are only two marks," Kogoro Mouri further deduced as he looked at the footprints on the ground.

After they made their judgment, they walked into the passage.

Following the direction of the footprints, the few people walked forward for about a few minutes, and then an exit appeared in front of them. Opposite the exit, they could see the intersection leading to the villa.

"I didn't expect that there is a cave entrance here, and it leads directly to the storage room of the annex. Judging from its size, it should have been dug privately." After confirming the location, several people walked out of the cave, looked back at the cave entrance, and sighed Qingtian Yumi.

Several people came out of the cave and continued walking along the footprints. After walking for a while, they found car wreckage in front of them, and there was more than one.

The few people quickened their pace and came to the location of the car wreckage. They found that many of the cars inside were from more than ten years ago, and there were even a few drivers who had turned into skeletons.

The people with good memory quickly found out from the license plates of the cars that these people were the detectives who had been missing for twenty years. Next to a car whose fire had just been extinguished, they found Mogi Haruki and Chima Kyouyo who fell off the cliff last night.

However, the condition of the two was very bad at this time. Mogi Harushi's abdomen was stained with blood, and Chima Kyouyo also fell to the side.

"Brother Mogi, Sister Chiken," Kogoro Mori saw the two of them and immediately shouted to them.

Mogi Haruki barely raised his head to look at Mori Kogoro and the others, gave a relieved smile, and then fell into a coma.

Several people came to Mogi Haruhi and his partner. Kogoro Mori checked Mogi Haruhi's injuries, mainly a large wound on his abdomen, which caused Mogi Haruhi to lose too much blood. Hakuba Tan checked Chima Kyouyo and found that she was just unconscious due to the shock.

After identifying the direction, they found that there was no way out, so they had to return to the original path and prepare to return to the villa through the excavated cave.

Several people walked into the cave. After walking for a dozen steps, Conan sniffed and felt something was wrong.

"Uncle Maori, why is there a pungent smell, like disinfectant?" Conan reminded the detectives to focus all their attention on the two injured people and lighting the way back to the mountain.

After hearing Conan's reminder, several people also realized the problem. They did not smell this smell when they came here just now.

"Bang", an explosion sounded at the entrance of the cave behind them. At the same time, flames began to appear from the entrance and quickly spread towards the position of several people.

"Run, don't waste oxygen." When Kogoro Maori saw this, he ran forward immediately. It was obvious that the entrance of the cave was blown down by two people hiding in the dark, and they also poured gasoline in the cave passage.

After running for a few minutes, the few people who finally reached the door breathed a sigh of relief.

When Kogoro Mouri went forward to pull the door, he found that it could not be opened. After careful inspection, he discovered that the door was actually blocked from the outside.

With a raging fire and billowing smoke behind him, Kogoro Mori's attempt to break the door seemed a little weak.

There was a look of despair in everyone's eyes.

Chapter 152 Treasure

Just when everyone was in despair, a delicate shout came from outside the door, and then everyone saw that the location of the passage door was violently broken into by someone.

"Dad, Conan, and everyone, please come out quickly. It's too dangerous in there." Ran Mouri moved away everything that was blocking the door, then punched the door that was sealed with super glue and broke it into pieces. She then spoke to the people behind the door who were almost fainted from the smoke.

The influx of fresh air gave the detectives, who were a little dazed, a shock to their heads. They woke up instantly and hurried out of the passage.

The detectives who escaped death saw each other's faces blackened by smoke, and they felt a mixture of fear, excitement and relief.

"Thanks to you, Xiaolan, otherwise the famous detective Mouri Kogoro would have died here." Mouri Kogoro put Mogi Haruki down from his back, sat down on the ground, and rubbed his embarrassed face.

"After we had a good rest just now, we walked around with Xuanjun and accidentally saw two masked men in black sneaking into the villa, so we followed them and discovered the secret passage in the storage room and their actions of blocking the door. Xuanjun then speculated that you should be in the passage, and these two people are the two travel enthusiasts mentioned by the housekeeper earlier," Xiaolan told how she discovered the secret passage.

"We followed them after that, and later found that they blew up a cave near a mountain road and set fire to the cave. We thought that the secret passage in the storage room might be the entrance to the cave, and that you might be inside, so I rushed back and broke down the door. Fortunately, you are fine," Xiaolan said, and she helped Chikan Jyoudai over who was leaning on the white horse.

The few of them returned to the hall, washed their faces, tidied their clothes and gathered together again. Xiaolan, together with Sonoko, and Ikumi Gunda, who used to be a forensic doctor, were treating the wounds of Haruki Mogi and Chima Kyoushiro. Haruki Mogi's wounds were quite serious and he had lost a lot of blood. Ikumi Gunda picked out the medicine box that Xiaolan brought over and was surprised to find that there were several bottles of adrenaline in it.

A dose of adrenaline was directly given to Haruhi Mogi. The quality of this adrenaline was far beyond what Ikumi Gunda had ever seen. After the injection, the wound of Haruhi Mogi, which was originally bleeding from time to time, stopped bleeding after more than ten seconds. Moreover, Haruhi Mogi's eyebrows were even twitching, and he was about to wake up.

Ikumi Gunda completed the first aid by giving him an IV of glucose water. After that, the situation of Chima Kyouyo was much simpler. She just fainted. In addition, she was already over 60 years old. The armchair Detective was a recognition of her detective talent and her age, so Ikumi Gunda directly put the wind oil under her nose. After she smelled it for a few seconds, Chima Kyouyo woke up.

Chima Kyouyo, who had just woken up, looked at Mogi Harushi, who had also woken up and looked pale. They were still frightened. They didn't expect that their car had been tampered with. The brakes couldn't stop the car at all. There was no response even when they stepped on the brakes flatly.

The two heard about the subsequent actions of Kogoro Mori and the others, and thanked them for saving them in the end.

The situation had temporarily stabilized, but the investigation into the purpose of this invitation letter came to a halt again.

Now all the clues have basically been found and a chain of clues has been formed, but the last two people in the dark have not been caught yet.

Xiaolan and the other two had seen the two people in the dark, but they were wearing black clothes and masks, so they couldn't see who they were. And because they had to come back to save themselves and others, they lost the clues of following them.

Just when everyone was thinking about it, not far from Kogoro Mouri, Conan was aiming at his neck, aiming the crosshairs of the black-tech watch on his hand, ready to fire.

Li Xuan has been paying attention to the situation here. After all, he is now his future father-in-law. If he sees it, he should suffer less.

He knocked on the table. The sound attracted the attention of several detectives who were thinking, and also made Conan, who was playing with his watch, stop aiming.

"Everyone, have you ever thought about what the goal of the invitation letter is?"

Li Xuan's words woke up the detectives. Since they arrived at the villa, they have been obsessed with the murder case 40 years ago. Later, they were distracted by the murder case of Da Shang Zhu Shan. Then, they were distracted by the two secret people and forgot the goal of finding the treasure on the invitation letter.

Now that Li Xuan brought it up again, they began to consider it seriously, especially Qianjian Jiangdai. One of the purposes of her visit this time was to find this so-called treasure.

"You have fallen into a misunderstanding and have been led by the so-called clues. In fact, all the clues are at the beginning," Li Xuan saw their puzzled looks.

"In fact, the clue from the Tarot statue at the beginning is already the final clue," Li Xuan stood up and went up to the second floor. When he got to the clock, he dialed the numbers one by one according to the clues obtained from the Tarot statue. After the last number thirteen was frozen, the villa began to vibrate and everyone felt that the place they were in was moving.

The vibration continued for a while and then stopped. Li Xuan walked back to the first floor and took Xiaolan and Yuanzi to the central courtyard, "Everyone, the treasure is right in front of us."

Several detectives hurriedly followed. They didn't expect that this clock was actually related to the Tarot statue, which was the password of the safe.

Conan, who was following behind everyone, also came to his senses and figured out all his doubts. At the same time, he looked at Li Xuan, who was walking in front, with horror in his eyes. He had actually confirmed the final answer at the beginning.

In fact, it was not that magical. It was just that Li Xuan knew too much information, and with a sweep of his divine sense, everything in the villa would be revealed. He was also very curious when he saw the things in the central courtyard, so he interrupted the progress of this detective game.

Everyone came to the central courtyard. The original small garden in the central courtyard had disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a huge emblem composed of several crows. Dozens of exquisite treasures were placed on the emblem, many of which were recognized by the detectives. The lowest valued treasures were collections starting at eight figures.

Moreover, the eyes of these crow emblems are inlaid with red gems, and the feathers are gold covered with black lacquer.

The crow emblem and collection that appeared in the central courtyard are worth at least 300 billion Sakura coins.

"This, this, these are all rare collections recorded in the archives of famous collectors. So, are these the treasures?" Maori Kogoro didn't know many collections, but Senken Kyoyo had done her homework, so she could recognize all the collections in the central courtyard.

Just after everyone finished admiring these treasures, the butler's projection suddenly appeared again in the sky above the central courtyard, and this time the butler's expression looked a little strange.

Chapter 153: Be a good person in the next life

The butler appeared again, but this time what he said surprised everyone.

"Congratulations to everyone for cracking the treasure fog set up by the master. You have completed the invitation to the Dusk Villa. Next, you can go around and we will hold a celebratory banquet later. After that, I will give you the 20 billion that the master left for those who find the treasure. As for how you divide it, that is your business. Haha, see you later", the butler laughed a few times at the end, and then the projection disappeared.

Li Xuan smelled the scent of some kind of leaves when the projection appeared just now.

After hearing the butler's words, the detectives were so shocked by the final surprise that no one noticed the strange smell in the air. Oh, no, one person noticed it. Conan just sneezed, and then he found that there seemed to be a sweet scent in the air.

However, he seemed to have smelled this smell before, but it didn't seem so strong, it should be very light.

Conan didn't remember what it was for a moment and didn't give any reminders, while Li Xuan pulled Xiaolan and Sonoko and walked back to the hall together. The two women had internal energy and their transformed bodies, so their resistance to these leaves was far beyond that of ordinary people.

"Xuanjun, Yuanzi, do you think that Dad and the others seem to be too happy?" At first, Xiaolan was happy that her father had finally successfully solved a case, and the bonus even if divided equally would be enough for her father to live for a long time. But gradually she felt that something was wrong. Why did they all seem to be getting more and more excited? So she asked the two people next to her.

Even Conan was now starting to blush and was grinning smirk.
