"Xiao Ai will also pay attention to this," Mao Lilan laughed, and found that Koshizu Nanatsuki was staring at her, and said with a smile, "But no, I promised Sister Nanatsuki not to tell anyone."
"Wow!"
In front of the window, the exclamations of three children made the speechless Haiyuan Ai turn her head and look over.
The cruise ship crosses the cable-stayed bridge and the spectacular pier appears in front of you.
In the mist, luxury cruise ships from all over the world were parked at the pier. Rows of white cruise ships were like white swans resting on the water, which was very majestic.
It wasn't until they got off the cruise ship that the group of people came back to their senses. They looked back at the pier and were quickly attracted by the lively Chinatown not far away.
Mao Lilan and Koshimi Nanatsuki insisted on visiting the grave first and then going to eat. Dr. Ari had no choice but to go to a Chinatown restaurant with his three children who were complaining that they were hungry.
As for Mouri Kogoro, Conan and Haibara Ai, it was not so much that they were worried about the two girls going to visit the graves, but rather that they wanted to see if they could hear any news.
After all, Mao Lilan's karate is not easy to mess with, and Koshimi Nanatsuki also carries the black Tang sword on his back...
The two people sweeping the grave didn't talk about the dream on the way. When they arrived at the cemetery, they quickly found Elizabeth's grave which was filled with bouquets of flowers. They stepped forward to lay the bouquet and closed their eyes in prayer.
While waiting, the old man's panicked shouts suddenly came from the thick fog.
Conan immediately chased into the fog and saw a man in a black robe holding up something sharp, intending to stab an old man who fell to the ground. He shouted loudly to scare the man away, and vaguely saw a man under the black robe.
Zhang's face was horribly burned, but due to the fog, he was unable to catch up with the opponent.
The tomb-sweeping team did not stop at the cemetery and sent the old man who introduced himself as "Joji Miura" back.
After Miura Joji returned to the office, he relaxed and introduced himself, "I am a lawyer, and there are usually people here to help, but today is a holiday, so there is nothing to entertain you. Please take a seat."
Mouri Kogoro looked at the old sofa with cotton exposed, and took the lead to sit down...
Miura Joji was a little embarrassed, but after exchanging business cards with Mouri Kogoro, he immediately became excited, "You, you are the famous detective Moori Kogoro?"
"Oh," Mouri Kogoro laughed and scratched his head, "has my fame spread here?"
"Of course," Miura Joji hurriedly said, "You are very famous in Egamihara!"
"Dad, don't worry about yourself," Mao Lilan said with a black line, then looked at Koshimizu Nanatsuki, and smiled at Miura Joji, "Sister Nanatsuki is also a detective, although she is not very famous.
But it’s also very powerful.”
"Really? That's great," Miura Joji said excitedly, "Actually, I have something I want to ask the two detectives to help me with!"
"Do you need help?" Mouri Kogoro stopped smiling.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki also became serious, "Is it related to the attack on you this morning?"
Hui Yuan Ai sighed inwardly.
When she saw the Chinatown restaurant before, she wondered if Brother Fei Chi would be sorry to hear about it, but now she began to think that Brother Fei Chi was really lucky.
They went to the hot springs in Hyogo Prefecture and encountered incidents. When they came here, they seemed to have to solve the incident. There was not much of a tourist atmosphere at all...
"I think it has something to do with it." Miura Joji stood up, took out a handkerchief and put it in his hand. He took out an envelope from the first drawer of his desk and handed it to Mouri Kogoro, "I found this this morning.
.”
Mouri Kogoro took out the handkerchief from his pocket and suddenly regretted that the apprentice who could hand him the gloves was not there. He took the envelope, opened it and read the letter inside.
The letter paper is pasted with blocks of words cut from newspapers and magazines:
[What belongs to the witch belongs to the witch. If you want it, no matter where you are, you will be cursed by the witch and your heart will be ripped out alive!]
"What are the witch's things?" Mouri Kogoro looked up at Miura Joji in confusion.
"It probably refers to the legacy left by a lady who passed away two days ago," Miura Joji said helplessly. "She was called a witch by the people here during her lifetime."
"Oh?" Mouri Kogoro guessed that the inheritance was not much, so he asked casually, "So, how much inheritance did the witch leave?"
"Let me think about it," Miura Joji calculated. "The savings she left alone should be 500 million yen. She owns a lot of real estate, which is one of the best in Egamihara. In total, it is about 500 million yen."
It’s about 2 billion yen.”
"Two billion?" Mouri Kogoro almost jumped up from the sofa.
"This is a threat," Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the letter, "it doesn't look like a joke."
Conan took the opportunity to take out a handkerchief, put it in his hand, picked up the envelope and looked at it, "I thought I saw the man in black robe who attacked Mr. Miura just now, holding some sharp weapon in his hand."
Since Chi Fei has been away for a long time, he needs to communicate with Detective Yueshui for clues. Detective Yueshui is still very keen.
After Moori Kogoro came to his senses, he couldn't help but ask, "Who is this lady?"
"Her name is Elizabeth Montgomery, and she is the old lady who opened the herbal medicine shop in Egamihara." Miura Joji said.
"Elizabeth?" Mao Lilan heard this and chatted with Miura Joji about the book "The Secret of European Herbal Medicine", only to discover that Miura Joji had also visited Elizabeth's grave before.
After listening for a while, Mouri Kogoro felt that the 'witch' was still the key, and asked seriously, "Can you tell me more about this witch?"
Miura Joji nodded and recalled, "Although I am her consultant lawyer, I am sorry to say that I really don't know much about her growth history because she was quite stubborn during her lifetime and would not tell anyone casually.
Others may not know her past, but one thing is certain: she already lived in Egamihara as early as the Meiji period."
"Meiji period?" Mouri Kogoro asked in surprise, "Then she should be over a hundred years old, right?"
"Yes, although she couldn't tell from her appearance before she got sick, she is definitely over a hundred years old," Miura Joji said. "I once had the honor to talk to a 90-year-old man. It is said that he knows the best
Elizabeth's person said that as long as he could remember, Elizabeth had opened a herbal medicine shop in Jiangshenyuan. My grandfather came here from Belgium 85 years ago, so Elizabeth must have been here longer than that.
Much earlier.”
Mouri Kogoro looked at Miura Joji's chestnut hair, high nose bridge and deep blue eyes, "So your grandfather is also a foreigner."
"Yes," Miura Joji said, "This house was built by my grandfather with great pains, but my house is far behind hers. I heard that her house was originally owned by a European viscount.
The descendants are indeed aristocratic families, but I heard that their family loves nature very much and has been using herbal medicine to treat local people's diseases. However, this behavior is not recognized by the king and the church because the land ruled by their family is very rich.
, the king coveted them, so their family was judged as witches. In order to escape the king's persecution, they came to the Foreign Mansion area of Egamihara, and their lives have been very low-key."
"Then she is called a witch. It's not just nonsense, right?" Mouri Kogoro touched his chin, "Speaking of which, who will inherit the inheritance worth 2 billion yuan?"
"There are three people, but none of them are related to her by blood," Miura Joji said. "She seems to have no descendants in Egamihara. She only has Miss Tsurumi Yoko, whom I adopted since she was a child. She grew up watching me. She is really a
Hui Zhilan is a beautiful and kind-hearted girl. I am also surprised that Elizabeth did not leave her inheritance to her."
"Can you tell me more specifically what kind of people the three people left in the will are?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked aloud.
"These three people have been growing up in Egamihara for generations since their ancestors," Miura Joji said with a smile. "I heard that they formed a boy detective team when they were young. They are good partners who have always played together."
"Young Detective Team?" Conan is very sensitive to this.
Koshimi Nanatsuki couldn't help but look at Conan.
This can be regarded as the meeting of the young detective team from many years ago and the young detective team of today's era, right?
Immediately afterwards, Miura Joji introduced the names of three people as the "Three Saints", and said that if the three people and their families were unable to inherit the inheritance, Tsurumi Yoko and Sakuragi Isao would inherit the inheritance in order. He also said, "If Sakuragi...
If Father Mu gives up the inheritance, then I will become the property manager and donate the money to the most suitable charity based on my personal judgment."
"Really..." Mouri Kogoro thought for a moment, "Then do you think you were attacked by gangsters just now because your name was written into the will?"
"Yes," Miura Joji said seriously, "but the one just now was definitely not a gangster, but a witch!"
"Hahaha, that Ms. Elizabeth is called a witch, but she has passed away, right?" Mouri Kogoro said indifferently, "Where are there other witches now?"
"That's true, but..." Miura Joji frowned with cold sweat on his forehead, "Actually, the day before Ms. Elizabeth passed away, she asked Ms. Tsurumi to come to me and said that she wanted to modify her will and wanted to transfer all her inheritance to her.
Leave it to the young man and woman who came to Jiangshen a few days ago."
"Huh?" Conan felt something was wrong and couldn't help but ask, "Could he be her descendant?"
Imagine that if Elizabeth still has descendants who come here before Elizabeth's death and learn that Elizabeth left her inheritance to people who are not related by blood, it is possible that a story of "revenge with grudges" will arise.
"It doesn't look like it. Elizabeth said they were friends. I think their attitude towards Elizabeth is also very strange." Miura Joji looked strange for a moment, as if he was wondering, "When I was talking to Elizabeth, the two of them happened to arrive.
, and also refused to inherit the inheritance. Mr. Chi went directly into the house and said, "Elizabeth made her own decision without consulting us. Do you think it is appropriate?" The other Miss Koizumi looked very angry, even more so.
Questioning whether Elizabeth was using money to humiliate them or humiliating their friendship, this couldn't be the attitude towards the elders, right? Moreover, Elizabeth acted like a child who had done something wrong at the time, saying that she just wanted to repay their help, but
I still listen to them and let me keep the will as it is."
quiet.
Mao Lilan looked at each other with Koshimi Nanatsuki who was sitting next to him, and then looked at Haibara Ai, Conan, and Mouri Kogoro.
"The surname Ike..." The indifferent face of his apprentice appeared in Mouri Kogoro's mind, and he tried uncertainly, "It seems to be rare."
