"Hey, Doctor, is there really a treasure hidden in the villa we're going to?"
"Yes, there's a whole bunch!" Professor Agasa answered Ayumi's question while driving. "But it only counts if you use your wisdom to find the treasure inside!"
Upon hearing that there really was treasure, the three little devils in the detective team got excited: "With our junior detective team making an appearance, those treasures will be a piece of cake!"
“Doctor,” Conan, sitting in the passenger seat, squinted as he recalled the toy shopping trip the other day, “the treasure you’re talking about isn’t that huge pile of toys you bought with me the other day, is it?”
After Conan revealed the truth, Professor Agasa quickly made a shushing gesture: "Keep your voice down, don't let them know. It's not easy for us to bring you guys out to play."
"Tch, thank goodness Haibara didn't come, or I'd be bored to death." Conan sighed, having no interest in this childish game. "I should have stayed home and played video games and read detective novels instead."
Ai wanted to see her sister again, so she didn't come with the others. Kousuke originally wanted to go with them, but then he thought that he should give others some space. He was also annoying to be stuck in the back, so he came along to join in the fun.
Professor Agasa chuckled awkwardly, and Conan exclaimed, "Professor, you're pretty impressive, aren't you? You just bought a car and you're already showing off."
Professor Agasa has always given Conan the impression that he's broke. Conan teases him, saying, "Professor, you didn't invent something and then go rob a bank, did you?"
"How could that be! I'm such an upright inventor, I wouldn't stoop to doing such things." Professor Agasa freed one hand and took out a card-like object from his pocket, explaining, "Actually, this is how I make money."
As he spoke, Professor Agasa handed the card-like object to Conan. Conan took it and saw that it had a Kamen Rider design on it, and he was a little puzzled as to what it was.
Dr. Agasa looked rather smug, his mustache practically standing on end: "Recently, I've been assisting a friend's toy company with the development of a new product. They trust me, so they paid me a large deposit upfront!"
Guangyou interrupted the doctor who was laughing wildly: "Doctor, if you go and develop this, will you do it on a profit-sharing basis or sell the patent rights in one lump sum?"
"He's my friend, so I sold him off all at once!" Professor Agasa said matter-of-factly.
Upon hearing this, Guangyou said with some regret: "I think this thing has a great market and it will definitely be a hit. If you split the profits, you'll become a millionaire. It's not worth it to sell it all at once!"
"Yes!" the doctor exclaimed with some regret. "Oh dear, my money!"
Conan examined it for a long time but couldn't find anything special about it: "After all this talk, what is this thing?"
"Kamen Rider Voice Changer Card!"
A voice that sounded like it had been digitally altered startled Conan.
Conan's heart pounded. He turned around and saw the three members of the Detective Boys wearing gloating smiles.
Holding up the voice changer, Guangyou explained, "You just need to record your own voice, and then you can change it into all sorts of different voices. Isn't that fun?!"
Knowing that this was for changing one's voice, Conan looked down and tugged at the bow tie-shaped voice changer he was wearing, and complained, "Isn't this almost the same as mine?"
Professor Agasa's face broke into a smug smile, his cheeks even slightly flushed: "Well, you always said that the things I make are just junk, but you never expected that I could create such a popular toy!"
This time, Professor Agasa felt a great sense of relief. Conan had always said that his inventions were useless, and he couldn't refute that. Now, he could finally slap Conan in the face.
Professor Agasa felt that the sky was bluer and the air was much fresher.
"But, Professor, didn't you say those things were unoriginal after what happened with Teiji Moriya?" Kōyū recalled that incident; Professor Agasa had indeed said those things. "What about your flapping-winged flying machine?"
"Yes, really?" Professor Agasa was slightly embarrassed and unable to refute it, so he could only chuckle awkwardly once again.
Seeing Professor Agasa's actions, Kōyū couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so good! Indeed, the 'it's so good' theorem is hard to refute!"
Driving to the villa, one could tell from the outside that it was quite impressive. The outer walls were covered with green vines, which swayed in the breeze, carrying a delicate fragrance to everyone.
Guangyou took a deep breath, and he felt as if his heart had relaxed. Listening to the birds chirping beside him, Guangyou felt somewhat happy.
The villa was nestled in the forest, its tranquil atmosphere a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city. Guangyou had an idea in his mind: "I'll build a manor in a place like this someday, and then Ai and I can come and stay here for a while from time to time. It would be best if we could even have a baby together!"
Kōyū swallowed hard, a lewd smile on his face. Conan nudged Kōyū and teased, "What are you thinking about? Why are you smiling so lewdly?"
Upon hearing this, Kwang-woo took out his small mirror and said, "No, you're still as handsome as ever."
"Damn, you're really flashy!" Conan noticed that Kōyū, a boy, always carried a mirror with him and thought it was strange. "You're a boy, why do you carry a mirror with you?"
Kōyū glanced at Conan: "You're making a fuss over nothing. It's just a mirror."
After saying this, Kousuke walked past Conan to Professor Agasa's side.
Upon seeing the large villa, Ayumi asked, "Doctor, is this really your uncle's private villa?"
