Kuroba Kaito, who was looking at the computer screen, let out a big sneeze.
"Um?"
"Have you caught a cold?"
"It's not good to catch a cold at this time. After all, someone has already sent an invitation..."
On the computer screen, an old man with a bald head and white beard smiled and took a photo with a statue of the goddess of the sea made of pure gold. The goddess held a huge blue gem in her hands.
Next to the computer keyboard, there is a copy of today's morning newspaper, with the headline on the front page reading "Attention to Phantom Thief Kidd".
Ever since he found the real "Pandora's Stone", Kuroba Kaito hasn't actively looked for those legendary large gems for a while.
In addition, the Kaitou Kidd has returned to the world. Collectors who own large gems are afraid of Kidd's stealing skills and have hid the gems they own. How can they dare to display them in public?
But just this morning, Kuroba Kaito saw a notice in the morning paper.
The general meaning of the notice is that a rich and strange old man obtained the legendary "Blue Miracle" abroad, and used it as bait to invite Kaito Kidd to steal it.
After finding the "Pandora's Stone", there was no need for Kuroba Kaito to steal the gems anymore.
But I remembered that Qin Zhibo had said that he had to continue to pretend to be looking for gems in order to hide the fact that he had found the real Pandora's Stone.
So, using the identity of Kaito Kid, Kuroba Kaito just sent a text message to this rich weird old man, accepting the challenge in a high-profile way.
However, before taking action, Kuroba Kaito also needs to find out the information about his opponent.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger.
"Jiroyoshi Suzuki, consultant to the Suzuki Consortium...Oh, he turns out to be from that big consortium~"
When he couldn't find Pandora's Stone, Kuroba Kaito remembered that he had also taken action on the "Pitch Black Star" collected by this family.
Maybe you want revenge?
But since you sincerely invited me, I will play with you.
A happy smile appeared on Kuroba Kaito's face.
Since he no longer had the psychological burden of searching for Pandora's Stone, he could focus more on the magic show.
This is what a magician should really do.
"Then let's have a magic show after a long time!"
…
House of Angels.
Conan was stunned for a moment, and the character described by Qin Zhibo immediately appeared in his mind.
Under the moonlight in the night sky, a figure that is whiter than the moonlight stands in the sky, and the handsome face under the single-lens mirror reveals a mysterious smile.
Kaitou Kidd!
If you think about it this way, flying in the night sky with the help of the hang glider on his back, targeting various gems in the world, and having a sense of mystery that always exists with him... This is indeed in line with the characteristics of Kaito Kidd.
At this time, the third child listened to Qin Zhibo's words and reacted.
"Is Mr. Clock the Kaitou Kidd?"
"Kaitou Kidd! Where is he?"
Qin Zhibo smiled at the children and said, "He has already flown away~"
"Ah? Hey..." Not being able to see the famous magic thief, the three little ones sighed in frustration.
Conan frowned and stayed in place, still thinking in his mind.
Although flying in the night sky, stealing gems, disguising himself as someone else, investigating the background of the Junior Detective Team, and convincing everyone's parents to reassure themselves, these are all very similar to Kaito Kidd's actions, but there is something indescribably weird about them.
For example, Kaito Kidd makes a high-profile appearance almost every time and has a strong desire to express himself and perform, but this time he didn't even have to show up in person.
If Qin Zhibo hadn't said it, Conan would never have known that the culprit behind this incident was Kaitou Kidd.
Also, the legendary large gem has always been the target of Kaito Kidd's theft. The cone-shaped black crystal seems a bit too ordinary.
Finally, although he doesn't want to admit it, Kaitou Kid himself has a very high IQ, and Conan doesn't think that such a puzzle will stump Kaitou Kid.
All in all, it's weird.
Conan turned to look at Qin Zhibo, who was tying up the bad guy's body, and asked, "Uncle Qin, how did you track down Kaito Kidd to come here?"
"Well..." Qin Zhibo stood up and smiled mysteriously, "I refuse to disclose business secrets."
Conan: "..."
Haiyuan Ai came over at this time and asked: "The person who was eating in the kitchen last night and reminding Bumi and me in front of the high-voltage power grid was actually you, right?"
Qin Zhibo nodded and admitted.
"Thank you." Hui Yuan Ai thanked him softly.
"You're welcome... By the way, don't you want to see the treasure left by Yin Sechuan Gozo?"
…
After tying up the bad guys, Qin Zhibo led the young detective team and Yuriko Matsunaka into the dark tunnel.
By the light of the nuclear lighter, everyone came to the end of the tunnel.
In the room at the end, there is a small gold mountain stacked with countless gold bricks, which shines brightly under the external light source.
"Wow! It's so dazzling!" Yuantai raised his hands to cover his eyes somewhat exaggeratedly.
Conan looked at these gold nuggets with an expression between calm and shock.
The surprise was that he had already guessed that the reserve property was gold, but the shock was that he did not expect that there was so much gold.
The small gold mountain in front of me is nearly as tall as an adult, and together with the gold nuggets scattered on the ground, there are two cubic gold nuggets.
The value of this gold converted into Japanese yen is almost 52 billion yen!
Of course, Conan calculated it based on the international gold price in 1996.
As for Qin Zhibo, a "future man", based on the future price of gold and dollars, it is almost 15.5 billion yuan!
I wipe it! It’s posted!
Qin Zhibo glanced sideways at the somewhat dumbfounded Yuriko Matsunaka. A new rich woman was about to be born. Like Yuanzi, she was also a lucky person enjoying the blessings of her family.
However, considering that Yoin Seikawa Gozo is a subordinate of Renya Karasuma, this pile of gold is just that.
In front of the Dusk Villa built of gold, these golds are just "bricks" to build a wall.
Compared with what Yin Seikawa Gozo contributed to Karasuma Renya, the value of this gold is definitely a drop in the bucket.
On this hill of piles of gold, a pure gold photo frame attracted everyone's attention.
"what is that?"
Mitsuhiko raised his hand and pointed, and everyone's eyes were attracted to the person on the photo frame. There was a photo of a middle-aged man with thick lips holding a little girl in his arms.
Obviously, this middle-aged man is Yun Seikawa Gozo, and the person in his arms may be his daughter or granddaughter.
"That is……"
Conan climbed up Jinshan Mountain and took down the photo frame, and found a letter printed with fire paint underneath the photo frame.
He took down both items together and handed them all to Yuriko Matsunaka.
"These are all yours."
With tears in her eyes, Matsunaka Yuriko took the photo frame and letter with a smile on her lips.
Although she didn't know who the little girl in the photo was, she felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy in her heart.
At this moment when everyone was feeling warm, Qin Zhibo suddenly mentioned.
"Shall I see the letter?"
"Huh?" Conan and the others were stunned for a moment in confusion.
Qin Zhibo explained seriously: "When Yin Sechuan Gozo set up this puzzle, he certainly would not have thought that a child would eventually solve his puzzle."
"In case it says something important, it's better to leave it to adults to judge."
Qin Zhibo was the only adult present, so he was the best person to say this.
Conan thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed difficult to deal with this huge amount of property. Perhaps the content in the letter was not suitable for a primary school student like Matsunaka Yuriko to read by herself.
Qin Zhibo's character is also worth trusting. Although there is a lot of gold here and it is difficult for adults to resist the temptation here, Qin Zhibo is not an ordinary person.
If Qin Zhibo coveted the treasure here, the Chinese character puzzle in the will would have been solved long ago with his ability, and there is no need to wait until now.
Conan walked over and persuaded Yuriko Matsuzaka: "Uncle Qin is a very good man. Just let him read the letter first."
Yuriko Matsunaka hesitated, chose to believe Conan, and handed the letter to Conan, who in turn handed the letter to Qin Zhibo.
Qin Zhibo opened the wax paint on the envelope and took out the letter paper inside.
The fonts on the letter paper are already trembling. It seems to be a handwritten letter written by Yin Sechuan Gozo when he knew that his time was running out. It can also be called a last letter.
[To my heirs: Since you can solve the puzzle I left, you should have good intelligence and be able to understand what I am going to say next]
[My life is a cursed life. Since I sold my soul to that adult when I was young, I have entered the path of evil and I have never been able to extricate myself from it.]
[In the eyes of outsiders, I am a bull in the stock market, but in fact, this is not my ability]
[After many years of service, I obtained the permission of that adult to build my own assets outside with the help of the organization]
[As for my name in the organization, it will be inherited by a member of the Yin Sechuan family who does not exist in the Yin Secheon family. He will replace me and continue to serve that gentleman]
[So, this is a cursed wealth that cannot be changed even with the protection of four angels]
[My true successor will appear sooner or later and take back everything that belongs to him]
[When that time comes, don’t forget to convey something to that person on my behalf...]
【Rum, your father is waiting for you in hell】
After reading the end of the letter, Qin Zhibo's eyes changed.
Rum, this code name appeared in the last dialogue between the organization boss and Belmode, and was the murderer of the Haneda Koji case 17 years ago.
Through some of Yin Seikawa Gozo's descriptions in his letters, Qin Zhibo was reminded of another member who had served the organization's boss for many years, Pisco.
During the Dusk Annex incident forty years ago, young Pisco was serving Karasuma Renye.
Later, Pisco went out on his own, established a car company, and became the new boss of the automobile manufacturing industry, Kenzo Masama.
This life history is exactly the same as that of Yun Seikawa Gozo.
The only difference is that Yun Seichuan Gosan entered the financial industry.
Qin Zhibo guessed that this should be a personal promotion mechanism within the organization.
As long as those who have served the boss for many years will go out to establish and manage the organization's apparent industry after a certain period of time, it is similar to "graduated" and "free".
Of course, strictly speaking, you are still a member of the organization at this time. Although you appear to be living like an ordinary person, you still need to take risks.
For example, after the incident at the Cupido Hotel, Pisco's family members all disappeared and the house was burned down by a fire.
But Yin Sechuan is the third smartest person in the world because he has his own successor and knows how to retreat bravely, so he no longer needs to do many dirty work himself.
Rum, was his former organization code name.
The current Rum is his son.
Can the code name of the original organization be inherited?
In other words, before gin and vodka, there were "old gin" and "old vodka"?
Are they also in a father-son relationship?
Theoretically speaking, humans cannot pop out of cracks in rocks, so they should also have a father.
But it is unknown whether they inherited their codenames from their fathers.
But if this theory is true, Haibara Ai's codename "Shirley" was probably originally the codename of Elena Miyano?
Qin Zhibo glanced at Hui Yuan Ai next to him, causing Hui Yuan Ai, who was holding his arms, to tremble his shoulders for some unknown reason.
Conan saw that Qin Zhibo had finished reading the letter and quickly asked: "Uncle Qin, what is written in the letter?"
"Well, it's exactly what I guessed. It involves property transfer and heir identification. You kids can't understand it."
Conan: "..." Others don't know, so don't you know what's going on with me?
Qin Zhibo put the letter into his pocket, not intending to show it to Conan now.
Because once Conan sees the relationship between this place and the organization's boss, he will definitely go crazy trying to find the current "Rum".
And "Rum" may also be concerned about the ownership of his father's property. If Conan meets Rum, the situation will become complicated again.
After putting the envelope away, Qin Zhibo thought about that sentence in his heart again.
Rum, your father is waiting for you in hell...
…
Back on the ground, Qin Zhibo personally called Yamamura Cao and asked him to come over and pick up the results.
While waiting, Qin Zhibo found another deserted corner and called Haneda Yasuharu.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
After only a few days, Haneda Yasuharu's cough worsened significantly.
"Is your health okay?" Qin Zhibo asked.
"Well, cough... you can still hold on, what's the matter?"
Qin Zhibo said seriously: "I have collected some information about the organization, and I want to ask you a favor."
"There is a member of the black organization named 'Rum'. Have you heard of this person?"
"I've never heard of it, cough..." Yasuharu Haneda was still coughing lightly.
Considering Yasuharu Haneda's current physical condition, Qin Zhibo felt a little tangled in his heart.
He paused for two seconds before deciding to tell Haneda.
"The murderer of that case 17 years ago was Rum in the organization..."
Qin Zhibo told this heavy truth.
For a father who once looked so young in photos, he has experienced the pain of losing his son and has aged so seriously in the past 17 years, as if 30 years have passed.
But letting him go to the grave with this regret seems a bit cruel.
Therefore, Qin Zhibo decided to tell him the truth.
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time, and then a reply slowly came from the phone.
