"Twilight Annex?"
On the sofa in the living room, Sakaki Makoto crossed his legs, a cigarette in his hand, and read the invitation letter:
"So, this anonymous wealthy man invited Mr. Maori and Brother Hattori to his house to investigate a case that happened 40 years ago?"
"yes!"
Conan nodded.
"The person they invited is Kogoro Mori..."
Sakaki glanced sideways and said disdainfully:
"Does it have anything to do with you, Edogawa Conan?"
Conan: “….”
He really wanted to say that Kogoro Mori was famous because of his reasoning.
but...
Why didn’t they invite Kudo Shinichi, but instead invited Mori Kogoro?
This indirectly proves that in the eyes of this rich man, the "savior" Kudo Shinichi is not as good as the sleeping Mori Kogoro.
Like a hen drowned in the water, Conan's head drooped down.
"Mr. Sakaki, have you received the invitation?"
Hattori Heiji asked.
"...No."
Rubbing his eyebrows, Sakaki Makoto was also a little confused.
Why do other detectives receive countless commissions every day, but he...
So far, I haven’t received even a single invitation letter?
Even though his crime-solving rate is 100% and his fees are low, and have been reduced again and again, no one entrusts him with the service.
Is it because he did something wrong?
Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other and laughed maliciously:
"Mr. Sakaki, it's normal that no one has entrusted you to solve the case."
"oh?"
Sakaki Makoto stood up.
"Do you know the reason?"
"certainly..."
Hattori Heiji nodded and said:
"Your deeds in helping the Metropolitan Police Department solve cases are widely known. Everyone knows that the Metropolitan Police Department will ask you to help when they encounter a case that they can't solve."
"In this way, they can just call the police. They can save commission fees and solve the case at the same time. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
Covering his mouth, Sakaki Makoto stopped talking.
He only now realized the seriousness of this problem.
yes...
It doesn't cost money for the police to take action.
Think about it from another perspective...
If the police can solve the case, why do they need Makoto Sakaki?
grass.
Taking a deep puff on the cigarette holder, Sakaki Makoto began to doubt his life.
Look at Kogoro Mori. Since he became famous, he has received many private commissions and made a lot of money.
Watching him...
Although he has not nominally joined the Metropolitan Police Department, he has actually been working for it.
I lost my grandma's pants...
“That’s not right!”
Sakaki Makoto frowned:
"It's fine if there are no commissions in Tokyo, but why are there no commissions in other places?"
"There's something wrong with your usual style!"
Hattori Heiji said helplessly:
"Think about it yourself. How many prisoners who have passed through your hands have survived?"
"Most of those rich people are stealing from their employers. If they hire other detectives, they still have a chance to survive. But if they hire a killer..."
"My life is in danger."
"I'd rather worship Guan Gong than Bai Qi!"
"Otherwise you won't even know how you died."
Sakaki Makoto: “….”
He didn't expect that in the eyes of the rich, he had a bad reputation.
Maybe...
Only the Black Organization would welcome him.
"Forget it, since they don't welcome me..."
Sakaki put out his cigarette and stood up:
"Just go by yourselves, just be careful and be safe."
He planned to go back to his room to see Miss Miyano. Today, he had nothing to do at the new research institute, so there was no need to clock in for work. It would be best if...
I can take a nap holding my girlfriend.
Just after taking two steps, Dr. Agasa walked out of the laboratory with dark circles under his eyes.
He didn't sleep all night and stayed up all night.
"Oh, Conan, you're here!"
Dr. Agasa took the hot milk handed to him by Miyano Akemi, thanked her and said:
"I checked the matter of Twilight Annex."
"Its previous owner was Karasuma Renya, a famous wealthy man."
"But 40 years ago, Karasuma Renya, who was already 99 years old, passed away, and his descendants sold the Twilight Annex..."
His body trembled, and Sakaki Makoto turned back stiffly, thinking he had heard wrongly:
"Who did you say was the previous owner of Twilight Villa?"
"Karasuma Renya..."
Karasuma...
Sakaki Makoto was very familiar with this surname.
When Gin was interrogated by the Metropolitan Police Department, it was a cabinet minister named Karasuma who came forward to bail him out.
40 years ago, 99-year-old wealthy man Karasuma Renya...
The organization's initial goal was to explore immortality, but now it has shifted to resurrecting the dead. Is this related to the deceased Karasuma Renya?
Judging from the timing, it is very likely.
Through Dr. Agasa's investigation + Karasuma Cabinet Minister, we can learn that Karasuma Ren'ya's family is very large, so large that it is unimaginable.
after all...
If you don't have a background, it's difficult for ordinary people to cross the class and join the cabinet.
Makoto Sakaki believes...
If you want to investigate the background of the Black Organization, you must start with the Karasuma Family.
It seems that even if the owner of the Twilight Villa doesn't welcome me, I still have to go there...
"Conan, Hattori-kun, when are you leaving?"
"The date on the invitation is Friday night..."
Hattori Heiji did some mental calculations:
“The Twilight Annex is built in the mountains. The only way to get in is by car, and it takes 10 hours to drive from Tokyo to Nagano Prefecture, so…”
"We plan to drive to the Twilight Villa early the day after tomorrow."
"I'll go with you."
