At this point, what truly interested him was Iseikawa Gozo, who had left a will.
Perhaps the decision to make the great-granddaughter's father the heir indicated that the estate was intended to be left to the great-granddaughter from the beginning?
Although the clock itself didn't take sides too much, it still found him, an onmyoji who could tell divination, beforehand and secretly protected Yuriko, preventing them from being accidentally injured by the defense system.
What a strange family...
After Yuan Tai and the others dug around the small hill where the shadows were projected, the ground collapsed automatically, revealing another underground space that resembled a maze.
However, there were no side passages inside; it led directly to a basement, which was where the final treasure was located.
“Mr. Clock,” Akatsuka called out to Clock, who was following behind the group, “or should I call you Mr. Matsunaka Yoshito? You really came here specifically to see me, didn’t you?”
Clockwork's gaze tightened slightly behind his sunglasses: "I only want to find Yuriko through Lord Akatsuki."
“It doesn’t matter,” Akatsuka Kaze and the clock walked side by side into the basement. “Actually, there’s a reason why Iseikawa chose you to carry out his will.”
The basement was gleaming with gold, and Yuriko, accompanied by Conan and several others, stood in front of a pile of gold bricks.
Rather than the immense, unpredictable wealth, the children's attention was drawn to the picture frames displayed on the gold bricks.
It was a photo of Gozo Isesawa in his youth with a little girl who looked just like Yuriko. It was placed carefully above the treasure, as if it were more important than the treasure itself.
"This is?"
“She’s the old man’s granddaughter,” the clock said, “that is, Yuriko’s mother. Actually, that riddle was something Yuriko’s mother thought about when she was a child…”
"My mother?" Yuriko turned around and looked at the clock.
“That’s right,” the clock recalled.
"I heard that the master has always doted on his granddaughter, Yuriko, because she looks very much like his deceased wife. So the master tried every means to bring her back after she eloped with me."
At the time, he also had considerable connections with gangsters; if you really angered him, who knows what might happen...
"In order to protect Yuriko's mother and her newborn daughter, I had no choice but to disappear from their sight and stay by the master's side to work..."
“You…” Yuriko stared blankly at the clock, “Who are you?”
“Lord Akatsuki probably knew from the beginning,” Clock removed his sunglasses, revealing a sorrowful face. “I am indeed Yoshito Matsunaka, Yuriko’s father.
"Dad, Dad?" Yuriko covered her mouth in surprise.
"Last year, the old man suddenly said he wanted to see his granddaughter and reconcile with Yuriko's mother, so I immediately went to see her..."
The clock looked at Yuriko, whose eyes were misty.
"But then I learned of her death. The master's health suddenly deteriorated due to despair. He left a final message that I would be free once the mystery was solved... Now that I think about it, the master may have originally intended to leave the treasure to Yuriko."
"Mr. Iseikawa Gozo owes your family a lot."
Chi Chufeng's gaze swept over the mountain of treasure.
He suddenly frowned slightly.
In a prominent position, there was a power of attorney.
Chi Chufeng picked it up and took a look.
I couldn't help but smile slightly.
This was actually a request to Akasoka as his guardian to help Matsunaka Yuriko manage the property he left behind until Matsunaka Yuriko came of age.
Chi Chufeng pursed his lips and handed the letter of authorization to Matsunaka Yoshito.
Chapter 597 The Little Loli Has a Home
When Matsunaka Yoshito saw the letter of authorization, he was stunned for a moment.
Then he said with relief, "So he never completely trusted me. This commission is just a copy. The original is definitely with the lawyer. If I can't leave the property to Yuriko as he wishes, someone will probably directly commission Lord Akatsuki."
Chi Chufeng nodded slightly, "Fortunately, you did it."
Yoshito Matsunaka bowed deeply.
"Lord Chichu, I entrust my daughter to you. Such a large fortune is beyond my ability to protect."
Akatsuka nodded slightly and patted Matsunaka Yuriko's little head: "Would you like to live with Akatsuka-nii-gege?"
Yuriko Matsunaka nodded vigorously.
Ayumi said happily, "Great! Yuriko, how about we live in the same room?"
Yuriko Matsunaka laughed happily.
She finally has a home.
Akatsuka said to Matsunaka Yoshito, "You should manage the properties left behind by Iseikawa Gozo. I think you will find a way to increase their value."
Matsunaka Yoshito said respectfully, "Lord Akatsuchi, please rest assured, I will do my best."
Later, the Angel's Mansion was transformed into a theme park featuring cows and mazes.
Yuriko felt that this was also her great-grandfather Gozo Iseya's unfulfilled dream; the Angel's Mansion was originally meant to be prepared for children.
That labyrinth seems to have been secretly built by Gozo Iseya without his family's knowledge, as a surprise for the children.
Unfortunately, he never had the chance to pass on this affection to his great-granddaughter until after his death.
It rained for several days in Tokyo, but it was mostly showers, so it didn't have much impact on work or daily life.
"This morning, a man was stabbed to death in a high-rise apartment building in Beikacho 4-chome. The body of a woman was found at the scene. Police are currently investigating..."
Chi Chufeng looked at the television broadcasting the news continuously.
Japanese TV programs seem to like this; rolling news updates are very common, covering earthquakes, weather, crimes, and more.
But if it's in 4-chome, isn't it nearby?
As Akatsuka was thinking, he received a call from Takagi.
It was said that Ayumi had encountered some kind of case, and that Akatsukaze was asked to go to the Chiba family.
Chiba is Takagi's chubby colleague, and like Takagi, he is Sato's subordinate.
Akatsuka and Chiba didn't have many opportunities to interact.
However, because of Sato's connection, they would contact Akaso Kaze whenever they had difficult cases, so they had a few interactions.
It was already past 4 o'clock when they arrived at Chiba's house. Akatsuka heard a familiar voice coming from upstairs.
"what?"
"The murdered person was Hirotoshi Nakamoto, a colleague of Akira Kato at the same company,"
At the entrance of Chiba's house, Sato, facing Chiba and the man in the vest who had stayed at Chiba's house, stated, "The murder weapon was a kitchen knife with an 18-centimeter blade, which was found next to the body..."
"The body was found by Ms. Shimura Yui, who was also a colleague of Mr. Nakamoto Hirotoshi and his fiancée."
"A long-faced, crew-cut older police officer who was with Sato chimed in."
"Around 1 p.m. this afternoon, Ms. Shimura Yui discovered the body when she went to Mr. Nakamoto's room. The estimated time of death is between 7 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. this morning..."
“I see,” Chiba said, pointing to her roommate next to her with a smile. “Then this guy couldn’t have committed the crime, because he woke me up at 7 a.m. and we watched TV together in the living room until 8 a.m. There’s evidence too…”
“Oh, that’s how it is,” Chiba’s roommate, a young man with an afro and a tank top, said indignantly. “How could you say I’m a murderer?”
Following behind Sato, Shimura Yui said urgently, "Because you are my ex-boyfriend, and there are witnesses who said they saw you near the victim's apartment after 7 a.m.!"
"A witness?" the young man scoffed. "Although I don't know who it is, that guy probably wasn't fully awake this morning, that's why he mistook someone for someone else..."
“No, that’s not true!” Ayumi and a few others suddenly chimed in, insisting.
“We clearly saw the person’s face. He was wearing a gray overcoat and carrying a black backpack while running, and it looked like he was jogging!”
"Hey, hey," Sato paused, then turned to look at the children and Takagi who was with them, "Takagi, didn't I tell you to keep an eye on these kids in the police car and make sure they behaved?"
“Well,” Takagi said with a wry smile, “those kids were never the type to behave properly to begin with…”
Sato slumped his eyelids in frustration: "Really? Even so, you didn't need to go out of your way to bring Akatsuki-san here, did you?"
Takagi turned around and saw Akatsuka standing at the bottom of the stairs, and couldn't help but smirk.
"I'm here to pick up Ayumi," Akazuka smiled. "What happened this time?"
“I think it’s just a misunderstanding,” Chiba said.
Chapter 598 The coincidence itself is suspicious.
Like most otaku, Chiba's house is a complete mess.
The living room floor was littered with random clutter, leftover snacks, smelly socks, and dirty clothes.
However, what's even more eye-catching is the room full of tokusatsu toys.
“Chiba,” Sato clicked his tongue as he looked around the messy room, “so lazy, no wonder you always oversleep in the mornings.”
"I'm trying my best too. I haven't been late lately, have I?"
Chiba said helplessly.
He hadn't expected so many guests today, so he didn't bother to clean up.
"And then?" the old police officer asked Chiba, his eyes always narrowed. "Where's the evidence you just gave of the two of you watching TV together?"
