"But the master said that it was just a prank by someone in the family, and that was enough."
"And he didn't want to waste money on this house that was about to be demolished,"
Bankruptcy?
"Bankruptcy".
Although it's the same sentence, the tone is different.
The former is Conan, and the latter is Kousuke.
Bankruptcy was something Conan hadn't anticipated.
He didn't see any signs that the Fujieda family was going bankrupt.
Although Guangyou had only just found out, he wasn't too surprised.
It is common for wealthy people to go bankrupt.
Many wealthy people did not build their fortunes themselves; if they do not know how to manage and invest, they will go bankrupt sooner or later.
Like a vine with a strong trunk.
They're all involved in gray-market businesses.
While the profits may be high, the risks are also significant.
If I get caught, not only will I lose the money, but I might also lose my life.
I'd rather just buy bubble tea.
This stuff is definitely more lucrative than the gray market.

The group had now arrived at the entrance.
Upon seeing the beautiful woman standing in the entryway, the group suddenly stopped in their tracks.
Apart from Kōyū, the others all wore expressions of surprise.
The woman in the entryway was also somewhat surprised to see the group.
She called out Eri Kisaki's name:
"Eri?"
Eri Kisaki was also quite surprised to call out the woman's name:
"Yukiko?"
As for Conan, he was the most surprised and the most unexpected.
He opened his mouth wide and whispered:
"Mother?"
Yes, that's right.
The beautiful woman in the entryway is none other than Conan's mother, a screen star with a face as stunning as Eri Kisaki's and who has long since retired from the film industry:
