It turns out that Umbrella's intelligence department is quite capable.

Not long after Fang Zheng and others returned to Tokyo from Kyoto, they received a report from Umbrella's intelligence department. After reading the report, Fang Zheng immediately called someone over.

"Have you discovered the origin of that mark?"

Conan was naturally very excited to hear the news, and Xiaolan was also curious.

"Yes, it seems that we have found it now."

Fang Zheng snapped his fingers, and soon the twin maids handed two documents to Conan and Xiaolan.

"This is……"

"The Ushiromiya family."

Fang Zheng also opened the documents and began to explain to them.

"According to the information we have found so far, the Ushiromiya family was a wealthy family that owned several textile factories during the Meiji period. However, in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, the Ushiromiya family suffered heavy losses. At that time, the head of the Ushiromiya family relied on incredible luck and miracles to revive the Ushiromiya family."

Having said this, Fang Zheng smiled slightly.

"Besides that, according to rumors, the Ushiromiya clan also has a golden legend."

"Golden legend?"

Hearing this, Conan and Xiaolan immediately perked up. Ever since they saw the house made of gold in the Twilight Villa, they have become quite sensitive to the word "gold".

"Yes, according to the rumors of the Ushiromiya family, the reason why the Ushiromiya clan leader was able to revive the family was that he himself said that he met a golden witch named Beatrice one day, and then signed a contract with her at the cost of his soul. Beatrice gave him wealth and fame, and in the end he received ten tons of gold from the witch."

"Ten tons?"

Looking at the information in front of him, Conan suddenly screamed. If Xiaolan had no idea about ten tons of gold, then it was different for Conan.

“You must be kidding!”

"After all, it's just a rumor, and we can't verify it."

"Why?"

"Because the Ushiromiya clan has been completely wiped out."

"……Why?"

Everyone was stunned by Fang Zheng's answer, but Fang Zheng flipped through the information in front of him and continued speaking.

"According to the information, something happened to the Ushiromiya clan more than a decade ago in a place called Rokukenjima. As for what exactly happened, no one knows. All we know is that Rokukenjima was completely destroyed, and all members of the Ushiromiya clan died except for the eldest daughter of the Ushiromiya family, Ushiromiya Eiha, and the granddaughter, Ushiromiya Yoshitoshi. Later, Ushiromiya Eiha took control of the Ushiromiya family's chaebol, but eventually died of illness. As for Ushiromiya Yoshitoshi, he jumped off a building and died afterwards. As a result, all the blood relatives of the Ushiromiya clan died, without exception."

“Woo…”

Hearing this, Xiaolan's face turned pale, and Conan frowned.

"It says here that Ushiromiya Eba is suspected of killing her own relatives?"

"There is such a saying. After all, according to intelligence, the head of the Ushiromiya clan, Ushiromiya Usazo, was dying, and his three heirs all had serious financial problems. According to the police investigation report at the time, it is easy to suspect that Ushiromiya Ewa killed others in order to inherit the inheritance, and then faked the accident to cover it all up. But unfortunately, because there is no evidence to prove this, the case was eventually closed with not guilty. After that, Ushiromiya Ewa adopted Ushiromiya Yoshitoshi, but Ushiromiya Yoshitoshi seemed to insist that Ushiromiya Ewa was the murderer of the Ushiromiya clan. As for why she committed suicide after Ushiromiya Ewa's death, only she herself knows."

"So is there any relationship between Ushiromiya and Karasuma Renya?"

"Nothing has been found so far, but there is still one thing in common."

"Gold...right."

Conan is a famous detective after all, so he must be capable.

"Yes, if it were just a rumor, then the existence of ten tons of gold would still be a mystery. But we all saw with our own eyes the Dusk Annex made of gold, and the symbol of the Ushiromiya family... and since the common point between the two parties is gold, then there is one person who is very suspicious."

"The Golden Witch, Beatrice."

"That's right."

Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.

"According to the legend of the Ushiromiya clan, the gold used to revive the Ushiromiya clan was provided by Beatrice, so maybe the gold used in the Twilight Annex of the Karasuma Renya clan also came from Beatrice. If that's the case, then this girl called Beatrice might be the mastermind behind everything. After all, someone who can casually take out so much gold can't be an ordinary person."

In fact, it is hard to say whether it is a human.

"Hmm...if that's the case, then there's a good chance that Karasuma Renya is also a pawn."

Conan thought more. Indeed, ten tons of gold is not something that anyone can come up with casually, but compared to the rich who use gold to build houses, it is not that rare. The question now is whether there is a real connection between the two. If so, then is the so-called Golden Witch the culprit? Maybe the Ushiromiya family and Karasuma Renya are actually her subordinates. The Ushiromiya family was destroyed because they wanted to rebel or had some disputes?

After all, according to the report, there was a violent explosion on Rokkenjima, which almost destroyed everything on the entire island. This method of setting off a bomb at the slightest disagreement does fit Conan's understanding of the Black Organization.

"It would be nice if Miss Yuanshou were still alive."

Looking at the report in front of him, Conan was also depressed. According to the report, Ushiromiya Yuushi jumped to his death a few years ago. If Yuushi was not dead at that time, they could still find him to ask about the situation. But unfortunately, since he was dead... naturally, nothing could be asked.

"I have already sent someone to buy the Ushiromiya family's villa and Rokukenjima. By the time this preview is over, we should be able to get them."

Fang Zheng said it lightly, while Conan and Xiaolan were stunned.

"Buy it?"

"Of course, if I buy it, I can turn the whole island upside down with an excavator and do whatever I want with it. The villa has been put on the market, but no one dares to buy it because of the rumors about the Ushiromiya family. After all, the death of an entire family is still a taboo in the eyes of the upper class, and many people also think that the Ushiromiya family is cursed. As for Rokukenjima, it was nationalized after that, and I just need to find someone to open up some connections."

“…”

Conan and Xiaolan were speechless after hearing Fang Zheng's words - he bought the entire island just for the purpose of search. Now they finally understood what it meant to be rich and willful.

"By the way, Xiaolan."

After finishing his business, Fang Zheng looked at Xiaolan.

"The movie has been finished and will premiere in three days. Do you and Sonoko want to come and see it?"

"Hey? You mean the one starring Ms. Okino Yoko?"

"Yes, seventy-two hours."

Fang Zheng nodded. The film "72 Hours", based on the Tokyo Tower bombing incident, had been completed. It starred Yoko Okino. Fang Zheng also spent a lot of effort to promote the film. In fact, Xiaolan had heard her father talk about it many times. After all, Maori Kogoro was a typical fan of Yoko Okino...

"Then can I bring my father along? He's wanted to see this movie for a long time, and Conan..."

“…That’s fine.”

Hearing Xiaolan's question, Fang Zheng sighed silently.

He was afraid that if these two people came, someone might die at the premiere.

But since Xiaolan asked... forget it, the dead person has nothing to do with me anyway, so who cares.

I still hope no one dies though.

Three days later, the movie was released.

"72 Hours" is actually a very popcorn Hollywood movie, and Fang Zheng's script is also in this style. In this movie, Yoko Okino plays a newcomer who has just joined the police force, and she is led by an old policeman. Although this old policeman does not follow the rules very much and initially conflicts with the serious and rigid Yoko Okino, the two gradually get to know each other and trust each other.

But afterwards, during a mission, the old policeman died while defusing a bomb. Yoko Okino was devastated by this, but she still tried to cheer herself up and track down the culprit of the bombing and finally captured him.

The entire movie was actually written according to the process of the Tokyo Tower bombing case at the time, but the time was shortened. As for the bomber, Fang Zheng also deliberately added a lot of plots to him, portraying him as a psychopath who likes to see others in pain and panic and gets excited. Fang Zheng believes that after the movie is released, when the case is heard, the jury will definitely convict him according to the impression of the criminal in the movie. Even if the other party wants to defend himself, Fang Zheng can fool him with just one sentence of "artistic processing".

After all, I am making a movie, not a documentary. I can process it however I want. Any similarities are purely coincidental. What's it to you?

The movie was a huge success and received great reviews, and Yoko Okino's acting skills in this movie were also recognized by many film critics, which made Yoko Okino quite excited. Although she had appeared in many movies and TV series before, many film critics commented that she only relied on her looks to make a living and her acting skills were average. This time, many film critics gave quite optimistic reviews, which naturally made Yoko Okino very happy.

Fang Zheng's NBS TV station also timely launched behind-the-scenes stories and interviews about the film, including interviews with Officer Megure, Officer Sato, and the police officers who died in the bombing, to promote public opinion as much as possible. In any case, Fang Zheng has been quite successful as far as this film is concerned.

Of course, what made Fang Zheng happiest was that no one died at the premiere.

Otherwise, if there was a murder incident at the premiere that grabbed the headlines, then Fang Zheng might as well just find a place to smash his head and die...

Shortly after the premiere, Fang Zheng also received news that the Ushiromiya family's villa had been purchased.

So Fang Zheng took Conan to the Ushiromiya family's villa to see if they could find any clues.

However, just as he arrived at the entrance of Ushiromiya's villa, Fang Zheng saw something that he was very familiar with...
