"Hopefully they can find the whereabouts of the treasure soon. Whatever it is, after so many years, it's time to take it out again and see its quality."

"If we can't find the whereabouts of the treasure this month, we'll probably have to sell even more things next month, maybe even this house, just to keep the group running."

He could barely maintain some semblance of dignity on the surface, but in reality, he was already at his wit's end, he muttered to himself.

If he weren't truly broke, he wouldn't be so annoyed over the tens of thousands of yen he had to give to those thugs.

But the next moment, an unfamiliar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"So you're really that confident in your family's secret treasure? What if, after all these years, that thing, which might have had some value back then, is completely worthless in this era? What will you do then?"

"Who is it!?"

Takuzo Akie turned his head angrily, wanting to know who was making these sarcastic remarks.

Then he saw a strange young man sitting on his decades-old sofa, with a bottle of red wine that looked quite familiar next to him.

His eyes were fixed on the bottle of red wine.

As a spendthrift son who was on the verge of bankruptcy but was still trying to present a respectable image to the outside world, he naturally kept a few bottles of expensive red wine at home, which he himself was reluctant to drink, and which were intended to be used to entertain the important figures who could save the Fujiang Group.

Although it's not one of those super-rich wines that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars per bottle, a single bottle still costs over ten thousand dollars.

All told, this one bottle of red wine is worth several million yen, which is equivalent to a salaried worker's salary for a whole year.

He was still debating whether or not to bring out this bottle of wine when he was just about to invite Sonoko Suzuki to dinner.

Even when Sonoko Suzuki politely declined his request, his first reaction was that she was being disrespectful to him.

My second thought was that at least he could save that bottle of wine.

But now a strange man has inexplicably barged into his home and even seems to have opened his long-treasured bottle of precious red wine. Fu Jiang Tuo San felt a surge of heat rush to his head, and his eyes immediately turned red.

"Who are you, and what did you do to my wine?"

Hearing that Takumi Fukawa's first reaction was to question the red wine in his hand, Jiang Hang couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

After easily defeating Fu Chengsheng and forcing him to admit defeat, he told him to wait outside. He would then take Fu Chengsheng to see what the treasure his family was after finding it.

He easily bypassed the group of incompetent bodyguards and sneaked into Axe River's mansion.

Then, in the other party's pitifully empty wine cellar, which was filled with a bunch of inferior red wine and fake wine to make up the scene, they found a bottle of red wine that was barely acceptable and took it out.

I didn't expect the other party to react so strongly.

This clearly shows the current predicament of the Fujiang family.

So Jiang Hang took the bottle of wine and began to tell its story.

"Château Leroy, a dry red wine from the Chambertin Grand Cru. Although the vintage is a bit off, it's still pretty good. I remember its price was around $15,000, which is quite cheap. But I think it's acceptable for this level."

"Besides, for the Axe River family, this level of red wine shouldn't be anything special, right?"

Jiang Hang took a light sniff of the red wine, then raised his glass towards Fu Jiang Tuo San.

Seeing the other party's nonchalant attitude, Takumi Fue was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth to dust.

They even complain about the quality of their own homemade wine.

Do you know how long he's been keeping this bottle of wine at home?

Fu Jiangtaku looked around, picked up a cane from the side, and strode menacingly toward Jiang Hang's location.

But Jiang Hang's next words sent chills down his spine.

"Using this as compensation for sending men to attack me and my female companion, it seems Mr. Fujiang, you think it's not enough?"

Suddenly, Takumi Akatsumi stopped in his tracks and carefully examined Jiang Hang.

It was already dusk, and although the lights were on in the living room, it wasn't possible to see people very clearly.

After careful observation, he was astonished to find that the young man in front of him was wearing the same clothes as the "Jiang Hang" that his subordinate had sent him earlier.

The thing is, this person's appearance doesn't seem to have anything to do with the young man in the photo at all.

But he quickly remembered that the thugs seemed to have told him that they were not sure what Jiang Hang looked like, and even if they found him, they said that Jiang Hang in person looked very different from the photos.

At the time, he didn't take it seriously, thinking that his subordinates were all useless and were just making a fuss over finding people with photos.

But looking at the young man in front of him now, Takuzo Akatsumi couldn't help but feel a pang of fear.

Is the difference between this photo and the real person really that big?

"You, you are Jiang Hang?"

With a slight stutter, Takuzo Akatsumi asked Jiang Hang a question.

No, if the other person really is Jiang Hang, then how could they just walk into his house?

Why couldn't Fu Chengsheng, who was guarding his door, stop the other party?

"Didn't you send those thugs to find me and try to use them to threaten me into giving up the hidden treasure within the Star Prism Blade? Don't you recognize me yourself?"

"You should have the photos they sent you, right? Why don't you take them out and compare them to confirm if I am Jiang Hang?"

Jiang Hang sat comfortably on the sofa, then raised an eyebrow slightly at Jiang Tuosan.

Takuzo Akie also suspected that he had misremembered, so he quickly took out his phone to check.

But upon closer inspection, even more sweat appeared on his forehead.

Where is Jiang Hang in the photos those thugs sent?

The photo only shows two girls riding in a hot air balloon; there are no other men in the picture.

He flipped through the photos, trying to find Jiang Hang's picture, but no matter how hard he looked, it seemed that Jiang Hang had completely disappeared from the photos.

"What, what's going on? I remember it was fine when those guys sent it to me."

Takuzo Akatsuki raised his head again, wanting to check on Jiang Hang sitting on the sofa, only to find that the sofa was empty again.

Only the already opened bottle of red wine proved that what had just happened was not his imagination.

"Um... Mr. Jiang Hang?"

Takuzo Akie wiped his forehead with trembling hands; sweat was still pouring down his face.

Even now, he still hasn't figured it out.

Is Jiang Hang, who suddenly appeared, a human or a ghost?

The photos don't match the real person, and sometimes the photos taken are suddenly changed.

Compared to that, the other person's sudden appearance at his house and opening a bottle of red wine that he bought for $20,000 really wasn't a big deal.

Just as he was trying to walk onto the sofa where Jiang Hang had just sat, wanting to observe more closely whether the other person was really him, the sound of a bodyguard's footsteps almost scared him so much that he wet himself on the spot.

He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the person who came was a bodyguard from the Fujiang family.

"Could you please not make such a commotion when you come in? Don't you know it might scare people?" Before the bodyguard could even explain his purpose, Takuzo Axe was the first to reprimand him.

Then he paused for a moment before continuing to question the other person.

"How are you bodyguards protecting my house?"

"Do you think I pay you all that salary every month just so you can play around?"

"Why did someone sneak into my house and take my treasured wines from my wine cellar, and you guys haven't reacted at all yet?"

The bodyguard was also completely baffled by the insults he received.

“We’ve been monitoring the surveillance footage the whole time. No one should have entered your room during this period, Young Master Fu Jiang, right?”

The bodyguard pointed to a security camera on the side of the room, indicating that everything was covered by cameras.

Takuzo Fue was indeed very concerned about his own safety and distrusted others, so he installed cameras in many places in his mansion.

Even the living room where he is now can ensure that there are no blind spots for filming.

The bodyguard took out a walkie-talkie and asked his colleague in the monitoring room for questions.

But the result was still the same.

"Then what's going on with this bottle of red wine?!" Takuzo Axe demanded angrily of his bodyguard.

"Did I go to the wine cellar and take it out myself?"

The bodyguard also felt innocent and asked his colleague to investigate the surveillance footage.

Before the surveillance results came out, the aggrieved bodyguard also suppressed his temper and reminded Takuzo Axe.

"The young lady from the Suzuki family has arrived. Young Master Fue, would you like to make some preparations?"

Upon hearing the bodyguard's reminder, Takuzo Axe cursed at the bodyguard again.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

"You guys go check the security footage right now and find out who broke into my house. Don't let it interfere with my meeting with Ms. Suzuki."

Chapter 566: Do I have a split personality?

When Sonoko Suzuki brought the Mori family back to the Fue residence, it was probably only Conan who noticed something.

For example, that bottle of red wine that had been opened beforehand.

And Fue Takuzo was covered in sweat and clearly hadn't had time to change his clothes, with a tense and hurried look on his face.

So what happened at the Fujiang residence before they arrived?

Conan analyzed it this way, but he couldn't figure out anything else yet.

After all, it was Jiang Hang who did this. If he could so easily catch Jiang Hang's oversight, he wouldn't have been repeatedly manipulated and tormented by Jiang Hang so many times.

With the strange Jiang Hang on his mind, Takuzo Akatsumi fawned over Sonoko Suzuki and took out the Star Prism Blade.

Did you find anything wrong with the eyepiece?

"Not yet, but I just confirmed one thing: the two newbies you sold overseas are without eyelets and are purely for display."

Sonoko Suzuki didn't see anything wrong; her usual carelessness was comparable to Kogoro Mouri's.

She simply expressed some dissatisfaction with Takuzo Fujie.

While wiping his forehead, Takuzo Akie explained, "Actually, I don't know much about the Mekunagi. I just thought those two swords were unusable, so I sold them as decorative items."

He certainly wasn't telling the truth.
