Conan Rick's Investigator

The two looked at each other and immediately realized that the incident might have been recorded.

So, the two of them got together tacitly and started looking through the videos on their mobile phones.

……

In a dark car.

Rum opened the curtain of the car window next to him and looked out.

Next to the left eye covered by a black eye patch, the only normal right eye was staring at the fiery clouds above the distant mountains.

And under the afterglow of the setting sun, a grand villa estate is located at the foot of the mountain.

The entire manor is like the Hanging Gardens of Ancient Babylon, with steps built against the mountain and gardens in various areas lined up one after another, creating a very artistic feel.

On the four sides of the manor, four angel statues stand on the top of the lighthouse, posing elegantly towards the four directions of east, south, west and north.

Rum's expression was a little serious, and he picked up the walkie-talkie.

"start to act……"

As his voice fell, several responses came from the intercom.

Then, there was another heavy sound of the power being pulled.

Eng——

As the sound of the switch was pulled, the huge manor below remained silent.

But it seems something happened again...

For example, the searchlights that were supposed to come on at dusk no longer worked, and the manor's anti-theft system was completely inoperable.

The images on the four cameras of the laptop computer on the small table in front of Rum also began to move.

The four images moved very quickly and soon arrived in front of the gate of the manor.

They easily climbed over four different gates and continued to grope their way into the interior of the manor.

Rum stared at the familiar scenes in the camera screen, and his mind was immersed in memories from long ago.

"Dad! Look! I've finished my homework!"

"Very good, dear child, I will buy you some candy when Dad comes back..."

In Yuichi Isegawa's childhood memory, his father Gozo Isegawa was a complex noun with multiple twists and turns.

When he was very young, his young father was a busy man with his career, but he did not lack love for his family.

I stay at home for at least 4 hours every day.

At that time, Yuichi would always finish his homework before his father's dinner time and receive praise from his father before he left home.

But I don’t know since when, my father’s attitude began to become cold.

He was cold to his wife and children, and even to himself, who had ranked first in the grade, he just glanced at him indifferently and then turned and left.

From then on, the time that Isegawa Gozo spent returning home each day was shortened to less than 2 hours.

Yuichi didn't know what he had done wrong, so he could only work harder to get his father's attention.

This thought lasted for a long time.

With Yuichi's unremitting efforts, he was admitted to the best university in Japan with a score close to full marks. After graduation, he passed the assessment and officially joined his father's company.

At that time, Yuichi thought that as long as he worked hard, he could get closer to his father step by step.

So he worked diligently and helped "Manniu"'s company create one stock market miracle after another.

But even so, Isegawa Tsuyoshi was still unwilling to talk to him much, and even passed on orders through his assistant.

However, Yuichi made rapid progress within the company and at the age of 30 he was promoted to the position of vice president of the company, second only to his father Kouzo.

One day, Isegawa Gozo finally called him back home from the company.

Originally, Yuichi was feeling nervous, thinking that his father was finally ready to recognize him.

But when the father and son were facing each other in the study, an old man appeared in the room.

The old man sat behind the screen in the corner of the study. Just from the old silhouette created by the light, there was an indescribable sense of mystery.

"Rum, is this your best offspring?"

"Yes, Karasuma-sama."

Isegawa Gozo was extremely respectful towards the figure from behind, and this completely shocked Yuichi's worldview.

Because in his entire life, he had never seen his father be so respectful to anyone.

This is the "Bull" Iseya Gozo!

A person who can call the shots in the Japanese stock market!

Countless powerful people in Japan want to make friends with someone who flatters them!

Such a high-ranking person is actually being so respectful to an old man?

Who is this old man?

"Young man, come forward and let me see you..."

The old voice commanded.

Yuichi didn't know why, but he kept walking forward as if his mind was possessed.

When he stood less than 2 meters away from the screen for less than 1 second, the old voice gave his judgment.

"not bad……"

“Better than Pisco’s offspring.”

Xiong Yi bent his body slightly, staring blankly at the silhouette on the screen, not knowing what it meant.

The silhouette was motionless and incredibly solemn.

At one point Yuichi even thought it was fake, and there might be a tape recorder or a sticker stuck on the screen behind it.

But suddenly, the silhouette moved.

A thin and withered hand stretched out from the gap beside the screen, and a black ball was held in the palm of the hand.

"Taking this medicine can greatly delay the aging of your body..."

Xiong Yi was stunned, staring at the black sphere in his palm, his thoughts a little confused for a moment.

anti aging?

Did I hear that correctly?

He turned his head to his father behind him, trying to seek help, but Isegawa Gozo just stood there silently with no expression on his face.

Yuichi couldn't get an answer from his father, so he could only turn his head and continue staring at the silhouette behind the screen.

The person inside seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and comforted him, "Don't worry, this isn't given to you for free..."

"I want you to inherit your father's code name and serve me loyally."

"I want you to be the second-in-command of the organization and to carry out my orders without hesitation."

"I want you to grow up as quickly as possible, to surpass your father..."

"Until I can inherit this huge empire that I created with my own hands."

The figure behind the screen spoke a series of words that deeply shocked Yuichi's heart.

He felt an unprecedented sense of mission.

It was as if a path brighter than the one his father... no, than the one that Iseya Gozo had taken was right before his eyes.

He reached out his hand tremblingly and picked up the pill from his wrinkled palm.

He stared at the pill carefully for a few seconds, then closed his eyes and swallowed the pill.

It's hard to judge the taste of this black pill...

In short, it’s not very good.

He chewed it quickly a few times and swallowed it all.

In order not to waste even a bit of the medicine, he even picked up the glass of water from the table next to him and rinsed his mouth carefully.

From then on, Iseya Yuichi died.

A younger, more ruthless second-in-command of the organization, "Rum", was born.

Chapter 1469 Return to the Angel's Hall

From that day on, Rum's status rose rapidly.

He left Manniu's stock company and joined a giant company called "Kusuma Group".

Gradually, he also learned that the "Lord Karasuma" he met that day was the chairman of the Karasuma Group, Karasuma Renya.

In the political and business circles of Japan at that time, Karasuma Renya possessed immeasurable power and could almost be said to be the most powerful person in the whole of Japan.

And Rum also began to realize that the "huge empire" that President Karasuma mentioned at the beginning was not just the Karasuma Group.

Even all of Japan!

This is a great achievement that Rum never dared to imagine since he was born!

This made Rum work even more crazily for Karasuma Renye.

It was not until 47 years ago that Karasuma Renya voluntarily retired behind the scenes, and rumors began to spread that Karasuma Renya was in poor health.

Rum began to appear on stage in place of Karasuma Ren'ye to attend various events and make speeches in public.

This also formally established his position as the second-in-command of the organization.

Then 40 years ago, when Karasuma Ren'ya "died", Rum had the greatest decision-making power in the organization, and his position could no longer be shaken.

Rum even thought that Karasuma Renya might pass the No.1 position to him at any time.

This belief has lasted for 40 years.

Over the past 40 years, Rum rarely received orders from Karasuma Ren'ya, and all major and minor matters within the organization and group were basically decided by him.

He personally handled the crisis of Amanda's collaboration with the Japanese police 17 years ago and the crisis of the FBI undercover agent entering the organization two years ago.

It can be said that in order to successfully inherit this "huge empire" from Karasuma Renya, he worked very hard to manage it and did not dare to slack off at any time.

Fortunately, Lord Wu Wan gave him the anti-aging medicine, otherwise he would have died of overwork by now.

That's why Rum believes that pill is unique in the world.

Even if it is not unique, that kind of magical medicine should only be qualified to be taken by the owner of the "huge empire" and its future heirs.

In the future, Karasuma Renye will not only hand over the "huge empire" to him, but also the formula of that medicine.

Rum has always believed this in his heart.

Until recently, Ireland, who was undercover in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, sent back information that high school detective Shinichi Kudo was still alive.

Originally, Rum didn't care much about it. It was normal for grassroots members of the organization to occasionally make mistakes when killing people.

Just be more careful in your next life...

But when he checked the organization's data, he found that the one who killed Kudo Shinichi was Gin, the most capable of the younger generation in the organization.

The way to kill him was to use the organization's latest drug APTX-4869.

In order to recruit Gin to his own cause, Rum once met Gin with his true appearance to test his attitude.

But the result of that conversation was not ideal. Gin is a very stubborn person and he will only be loyal to the boss of the organization.

Although he couldn't recruit Gin under his command, Rum appreciated Gin a little more.

He neither believed that Gin deliberately let Kudo Shinichi run away, nor did he believe that Gin's ability was not enough to kill Kudo Shinichi.

The only possibility of problems is if the organization develops new APTX-4869.

According to the organization's internal plan, this drug is a new type of poison and its toxicity cannot be detected by any toxicology test.

Rum had used this drug on Amanda and Hiroshi Haneda 17 years ago.
