Early on Saturday morning, Hoshino Sora calmly finished his exercise early and ate breakfast leisurely. As for going to the Dusk Pavilion for dinner, there was no rush, I would definitely make it in time anyway.
However, just as he finished eating and was about to go play with Xiaokeng and Qie Hui, he received a call from Xiaolan.
"Borrow a car, no problem, just go there. The people in the store are all familiar with you." Hoshino Sora said with a smile, and then asked casually, "By the way, Xiaolan, where are you going to travel? ah?"
"Someone invited my dad to the Twilight Pavilion." Xiaolan replied.
"The House of Dusk!" Hoshino Sora was stunned. Yuichi really got it right. The mysterious sender not only invited him, but also a detective. Wait, he invited an uncle... Hiss, it seems that something will really happen to the House of Dusk!
"What's wrong?" Xiaolan asked doubtfully.
"Oh, I think we're on our way. You guys wait for me in front of the Star Store for a while. I'll come over right away. Let's go together." Hoshino Sora said, hung up the phone, went to say hello to his family, and told them about noon and evening He didn't come back for dinner, so he took some dry food and went out, heading straight to the Maori Detective Agency.
Soon, I almost arrived at the Starry Sky Store with Maori and his family, then borrowed an off-road vehicle and headed straight to the destination.
In the car, Xiaolan asked in surprise: "Akong, have you also received an invitation?"
"Yes, I received it on Monday, and there is a check for two million." Hoshino Sora, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and replied.
"What? You also have two million?" Mouri Kogoro, who was driving next to him, couldn't help but raise his voice, "Why is my remuneration the same as yours?"
"It's probably all two million." Hoshino Sora said.
"Who on earth wants to invite two detectives over at once? I'm afraid it's not as simple as having dinner." Xiao Lan felt something was wrong. In fact, starting from the strange signed invitation letter and the two million check, she felt that it was unusual. .
Now that he learned that Hoshino Sora also received the invitation letter like them, he realized that this matter was not simple.
"It's probably not as simple as just having dinner. It's very likely that I have to solve a case for someone else." Hoshino Sora smiled. Now that his uncle is here, he doesn't need to ask for help outside the venue.
"Case? What case?" Conan and Mouri Kogoro asked in unison.
Mouri Kogoro asked again: "Have you received other letters from the client?"
"No, all I received was an invitation letter and a check. As for the case... because I found out that the Twilight Mansion we are going to is actually a haunted house. Appalling murders have occurred in it." Hoshino Sora He said in a low tone.
"A haunted house where horrific murders occurred!" Xiaolan exclaimed, and immediately felt like her whole body was on fire, "Dad, otherwise, we'd better not go there..."
"What if I don't go, two million!" Mouri Kogoro shouted, with firm eyes and a calm tone, "Don't worry, as a detective, I have never seen any murder cases. It is better to have a case, which can inspire me more. Motivation to solve the case!”
"Brother Akong, what specific murder was it? When did it happen?" Conan asked quickly.
"It happened forty years ago. Because it was too long ago, not much information has been circulated. I asked Sister Miwako about this case, but even the Metropolitan Police Department couldn't find it." Hoshino Sora shook his head and said, "Even I don’t even know if this case really exists. After all, there are some ancient houses that specialize in spreading some sensational news to attract explorers. This kind of thing also happens."
Mouri Kogoro nodded and said in agreement: "It is true that many businesses will seize everyone's curiosity and do the opposite to promote their places, not to mention that people will actually go there."
"Phew, that's it..." Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief. Really, there are still people who deliberately promote haunted houses. The most outrageous thing is that there is a market.
"Brother Akong, do you know who the owner of the Twilight Pavilion is?" Conan asked again.
"The previous owner's name was Karasuma Renye, but the current owner doesn't know." Hoshino Sora said.
"Ren Karasuma!" Mouri Kogoro was shocked.
Conan looked at him curiously, and Hoshino Sora asked in surprise: "Uncle, have you heard of this person?"
"Of course! You young people must not know this." Mouri Kogoro became proud and asked, "Speaking of the richest man in the country, who can you think of now?"
"Of course it's Yuanzi's father." Xiaolan said without thinking.
Conan twitched the corner of his mouth. If he didn't mention it deliberately, just looking at Yuanzi's normal appearance, it would be difficult to associate her with the daughter of the richest man. In comparison, Xiaomi and Sylfen are more like the daughters of the richest man.
Hoshino Sora nodded, "Uncle Shilang is indeed rich."
Xiaolan smiled and said, "Maybe the richest man in the future will be you."
"Haha, it's impossible. I just have some cash, which is nothing compared to the family background." Hoshino Sora shook his head with a smile.
"Hey, the current richest man is Mr. Suzuki Shiro, but you have to know that forty years or even more ago, the title of the richest man was always controlled by one person..." Mouri Kogoro sighed after hearing this. , "That person is called Karasuma Ren!"
"When I was young, the Karasuma family was very famous, even more famous than the Suzuki family today."
"However, no matter how glorious a family is, it will become lonely. This is the fate of prosperity and decline. Since the death of Karasuma Renye, the Karasuma family has been in decline, and now it has disappeared, tsk tsk tsk, so Xiaolan Ah, you must find a rich generation in the future. This can ensure that you will be prosperous and wealthy throughout your life, and at the same time, you can also be rich to your children and grandchildren, so that you will not immediately encounter prosperity and decline. Of course, you can also make me rich by the way..."
"Dad, what are you talking about!" Xiaolan couldn't listen anymore and shouted, interrupting his last nonsense.
Conan secretly slandered in his heart: "You are a bad old man who is very bad. Day by day, you know how to instill this kind of money worship mentality in Xiaolan."
"Uh...Uncle, I heard that forty years ago, he was already a hundred years old..." Hoshino Sora said in surprise, "You are not even forty yet..."
"What's weird about this? Rich people live longer." Mouri Kogoro said unconcernedly, "It is rumored that he died half a century ago, but there are also rumors that he has been relying on injections worth tens of millions of dollars to continue his life. The life needle keeps him alive, so no one knows exactly when he died."
"The only thing that can be certain is that when the Karasuma family was in decline, Renye Karasuma died. There is no doubt about it."
"Oh my God, it's tens of millions per injection, and it's still tens of millions from decades ago. It makes my scalp numb just thinking about it. How much wealth does it take to survive?" Xiaolan looked shocked.
"Perhaps it is self-developed, that would be cheaper..." Hoshino Sora guessed.
"Self-research also requires money, which is even more expensive than buying it directly." Xiaolan said.
"Hey, why do you worry about the rich people? Maybe the price of this injection is just the price of a meal for them." Mouri Kogoro said casually.
