On the other side, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta are found.
After collecting evidence inside the Tower of Darkness, the police officers led by Nagayori Kensaku and the Search Section returned to the courtyard and truthfully stated their testimony of witnessing the peach branch falling from the Kagyoudo Tower in front of Kogoro Mori and the Megure Thirteen people.
Although Nagayori Kensaku is still suspected of deliberately inducing Kaedou Momoe to trigger the mechanism, but judging from the time when the other party rushed to the bottom of the Dark Tower immediately after dialing the ambulance call, the possibility of this probability is very low.
Simply put, even if he is the murderer, the police currently lack evidence.
After all, no one took the initiative to ask Jingdang Moozhi to follow, climb the tower, activate the mechanism, and then be frightened by the holographic image that suddenly appeared and fell down.
Just when everyone was gradually accepting the accidental death of Jingtang Taozhi, Jingtang Wang suddenly said:
"Mr. Nagarai, I always thought you were a trustworthy person, but now it seems that I was wrong."
Everyone was stunned, wondering why Jingtangwang suddenly said such words.
Nagarai Kensaku also showed a surprised expression, "Mr. Wang, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean?!" Jing Tangwang said angrily, "You have known the secret of the Tower of Darkness for a long time, but you didn't tell us! Otherwise...how else would the peach branch fall? Now you actually have the nerve to ask me what I mean! "
"Mr. Wang, please calm down first." Nagayori Kensaku sighed, "Actually, Mr. Seitaro asked me to keep it a secret from everyone..."
"What? Father-in-law..." Jingtang Wang was stunned.
After all, he married into the Kaido family, and even if the previous head of the family, Kaido Seitaro, passed away, his influence still remained.
"That's right, Mr. Seitaro said that if it were revealed that the inside of the Dark Tower is actually an amusement park, Mr. Wang would definitely demolish it, so he asked me to wait until Mr. Aqin inherits the family business before telling him about it. Everyone……"
Nagarai Kensaku looked at the confused Kaedo Qin and couldn't help but sigh again:
"However... Young Master Aqin doesn't seem to have any intention of inheriting the family business, and he doesn't seem to remember what he said when he was a child..."
Hearing this, Jingdangwang couldn't help but feel weak. He looked at Nagarai Kensaku blankly, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
I have been working hard for the Jingtang family's business, but in the heart of this old man who has followed his father-in-law for most of his life, he is still an outsider...a head who is not worthy of inheriting the Jingtang family?
Jingdang Qin on the side was also very surprised. He looked at Chang Lai's research with mixed feelings in his heart.
Suddenly, countless memory fragments poured out of his mind intermittently in the form of flashbacks.
He remembered that he had been to the Dark Tower when he was a child, and recalled that if the amusement park inside could be opened, everyone could have fun...
"I see……"
Jingtangwang murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "No wonder every time I see this tower, I always feel very warm... I can also think of my mother and grandpa..."
"Master Aqin, what's wrong with you?" Nagarai Kensaku noticed something strange about Jingdang Qin.
"It's nothing." Jingtang Qin came back to his senses and shook his head gently.
Thinking about it, what could he do? It was already too late. He had no ability to reverse the decline of the Jingtang family, nor could he stop Jingtangwang from selling the villa to raise funds to revitalize the company.
After all, I am still the same Jingdang Qin who loves to cook, and my childhood dream is just a dream after all...
…
Mirror Hall Taozhi's tower fall was ultimately ruled an accident.
Jingtangwang was busy dealing with Jingtang Taozhi's funeral affairs, and the villa seemed to be a lot deserted all of a sudden.
Mao Lilan whispered a few words of comfort to Mirror Hall Nanami.
Naturally, it was not convenient to stay for dinner, so the group said goodbye and left.
On the way back, Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but sigh while sitting in the passenger seat:
"I didn't expect that the previous head of the Jingtang family wanted his grandson to inherit the family business, but it turned out that boy only liked cooking and was not interested in this kind of thing at all... It's really a pity."
Except for Ye Gengyi who was still driving, the others turned to look at Maori Kogoro.
"Uncle, what exactly is the 'treasure' of the Jingtang family?" Conan, who couldn't follow him to the scene, couldn't help but ask.
"No need to ask, of course it's the amusement park in the Tower of Darkness." Mouri Kogoro said.
"What about the three colors of buttons?" Conan asked: "What will happen if you press the cyan one?"
"Well……"
Mouri Kogoro thought for a while, "It is said that a holographic image of the previous head of the family, Mr. Seitaro Kaido, will appear..."
"It seems?" Conan was startled: "Uncle, haven't you tried it?"
"Because Gengyi said on the phone that many facilities inside the Dark Tower are in disrepair and pose safety risks. Once you find these three brats, take them out as soon as possible..."
Mouri Kogoro said matter-of-factly: "So all subsequent evidence collection and investigation work will be handed over to the Megure Police Department."
Conan was speechless for a while and could only curse in his heart:
"Although there is nothing wrong with doing this, you two are just out of curiosity!"
There was a brief silence in the car.
Mao Lilan looked worried and did not join in the conversation.
Only now did Conan notice the look on his childhood sweetheart's face, and comforted him: "Sister Xiaolan, don't worry, the Jingtang family will get through this difficulty."
"What do you know, kid?" Mouri Kogoro interjected: "Although it was just an accident, a murder occurred in the Kagyoudo family after all, and it was still in the Tower of Darkness with an urban legend. No matter how you look at it, there is no way to hide the news. , buyers will definitely use this to lower prices.”
"Yes, Conan, some things are not as simple as they seem."
Mao Lilan forced a smile, patted a certain detective boy on the head, and said: "Senior Sister Jingtang told me that if the family cannot survive this difficulty, she may not go to school again after graduating from high school. My favorite karate is also..."
Conan: "..."
How could I not know it? I just wanted to say some words of comfort, but in the end... I was treated as if I was young and ignorant.
The real question is, even if the Jingdang family can raise that huge amount of money, how can they help?
Investing in shares or borrowing money?
Once the issue escalates to the financial distribution after the investment fails, Jingtang Wangdu may not accept this kind offer, which seems to be taking advantage of the chaos and trying to take advantage of his family property.
And let’s look back at the two children of the Jingtang family’s grandchildren…
One is Nanami Kaedo who is destined to marry outside, and the other is Tsutomu Kaedo who is dedicated to being a chef.
Neither of them combined can be the head of the Jingtang family.
