"Unfortunately, in the end we still didn't find out if there was any treasure in the Twilight Mansion," Hakuba Saguru said with some regret.
"It doesn't matter, I'll come again when I have the chance," Yoruichi Toyama replied.
Currently, it is known that the Twilight Mansion is almost entirely made of gold, and he is the only one who owns it.
But what does he need so much gold for?
We can't take it back.
"Uh, Kotaro-kun..."
He had barely uttered the thought in his mind when the cat abruptly interrupted him.
No, don't even dream about it.
I'm relieved.
Yoruichi Toyama let out a long sigh and leaned back in her seat.
I just feel that gold is nothing compared to the comfort of not dressing up as a woman.
Kaito Kuroba gave him a sarcastic look.
"Have you forgotten that the Twilight Mansion is still under the name of Oogami Shuzen?"
"Is it something you can just come here to explore as you please?"
That makes sense.
Although Oojo Shuzen planted a bomb and attempted murder, it did not cause any serious consequences. Under Japanese law, he would not be sentenced to more than a few years.
They will not deprive you of your property or anything like that.
"You've forgotten, haven't you?" Yoruichi Toyama retorted with a smile. "He still owes money to loan sharks!"
"With this arrest, there's no hope of paying off the debts anymore, so they'll definitely have to sell the villa."
"But this annex..."
“It’s bad luck!” Hakuba Saguru added, “The person who buys it will also have a hard time selling it.”
"I would never live in such a remote mountain area."
"In short, we still have a chance."
He nodded, clenching his fist, with an excitement of facing an unknown mystery.
...
During the subsequent interrogation, Oogami Shuzen and Senma Kōdai, having fallen out, exposed each other and quickly revealed the truth.
The story that "there is a treasure in the Twilight Mansion" is said to have originated from the original owner, Karasuma Renya.
After hearing that the Karasuma family had hidden a large number of treasures in this villa, he conducted several excavations.
But nothing was gained.
As Karasuma Renya grew older, he lost patience and resorted to extreme measures.
He promised a large sum of money and hired more than a dozen experts from various fields to search for the treasure.
They were completely confined to this annex, and if no progress was made after a period of time, one of them was killed.
At first, these experts could still send letters and money home, but eventually they disappeared without a trace.
It is presumed that they were all killed.
Karasuma Renya failed to find the treasure, and the villa had to be sold in the end. He himself died with resentment.
...These things were conveyed by one of the murdered experts in coded letters to his family during his final days.
He was the father of Senma Kōdai.
Unfortunately, it took Chima Kazuyo many years to unravel the mystery in the letter, by which time her father and Karasuma Renya had already become skeletons in a grave.
Her only concern was whether the treasure of the Twilight Mansion truly existed.
During a casual conversation, she revealed this to her friend, Ooue Shuzen, who was also a detective.
At that time, Ooka no Kisuke was already heavily in debt and desperately wanted to obtain this treasure, so he began to plot with Senma no Kazuyo.
They wanted to use Karasuma Renya's old method: gather a group of detectives to do hard labor, and then kill them all in the end.
To cover their tracks, they even used Kaito Kid as a scapegoat, making people think that Kid was the mastermind.
Senma Kazuyo saw through Oogami Shuzen's desire to monopolize the treasure, so she poisoned the teacup, intending to kill him first.
It can be described as an absurd drama where everyone has their own ulterior motives.
As for the series of jewelry robberies in Tokyo's shopping district, they were also carried out by people they hired.
Another employee, dressed in the white suit and hang glider of Phantom Thief Kid, flew through the air while committing the robbery.
This led everyone to believe that Phantom Thief Kid had returned, thus creating momentum for their plan.
When Kaito Kuroba heard about their actions, he was so angry that his nose almost twisted.
"How can you slander someone's innocence so easily!"
He said, his face flushed.
Yoruichi patted him on the shoulder to ease the tension, suppressing a laugh.
"However, there is still one thing that hasn't been resolved."
"The armored truck robbery in Yokohama more than a month ago..."
"They insist that they didn't do it."
