Chapter 679 The Grand Master's Autobiography...

"Three years ago, I met Chima Kazuyo in a case. We admired each other's thinking and intelligence when reasoning, and we exchanged contact information afterwards."

"Originally, I thought this was just an ordinary networking event among detectives, but who knew it would turn out to be the beginning of a dreamlike treasure hunt..............................."

Da Shang Zhu Shan continued to recount his experiences.

As he spoke, he also began to reflect on his actions.

When did I become like this?

At first, I was just doing it for fun. Finding the treasure would be great, but not finding it wouldn't be a big deal...

I'm already one of Japan's top detectives, so I'll just treat this treasure hunt as a nice little diversion...

When did I realize I was sinking deeper and deeper, to the point where there was no turning back, and I even considered murdering the maid to stir up the emotions of all the detectives?

"Ugh--"

Da Shang Zhu Shan couldn't help but sigh again.

“At that time, Senma Kōyo found me and told me a story.”

"This story is exactly the same as the one I told you in the recording."

"At first, I scoffed at it."

"After hearing it, I jokingly teased Chima Kyouyo, saying that she was getting more and more confused as she got older, and how could anyone believe such a thing?"

"If there really were any treasures inside that Twilight Mansion, it wouldn't be up to us two so-called famous detectives. Those wolves in the financial world would have already divided it up..."

When Da Shang Zhu Shan said this, everyone unconsciously nodded to themselves.

It seems that Da Shang Zhu Shan is still relatively rational at this time.

He's right. Japan is actually controlled by those large conglomerates and families.

If the Twilight Villa truly contained the immense wealth left behind by the former tycoon Karasuma Renya, then such wealth should have been discovered long ago, not left undiscovered for these so-called famous detectives to seize...

You see, although these guys are known as famous detectives and have quite a reputation in Japan, however...

Their connections, including their wealth levels, are like comparing an infant to an adult compared to those of large families and conglomerates...

"But,"

Da Shang Zhu Shan spoke with a self-deprecating tone,

"But Chima Kazuyo said something to me that completely dispelled my doubts."

"It was these words that made me choose to join her treasure hunting team..............................."

"What did she say?"

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but ask Oogami Ichizen the question.

Everyone turned to look at Da Shang Zhu Shan.

The food critic detective said with a wry smile,

She said that the treasure definitely exists and that it has certainly not been taken away by those big corporations.

"I asked her, 'What makes you so sure? You weren't involved. Are you some kind of descendant of the Karasuma Group?'"

"No, no way..."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately formed a guess in their minds.

Lin Jiayou's lips twitched.

Damn it, what kind of punctuation did Da Shang Zhu Shan use?!

So, isn't that deliberately trying to cause a misunderstanding?

"hehe,"

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Da Shang Zhu Shan smiled.

That smile seemed to say, "You've all been played by me..."

“You’re wrong. Senma Kazuyo is not a descendant of the Karasuma Zaibatsu.”

At this moment, Da Shang Zhu Shan continued speaking, addressing everyone,

"What she told me at the time was that when Karasuma Renya, the head of the Karasuma Group, was nearly a hundred years old, the Karasuma Group and other major financial families had already sent people to search for him, but to no avail."

"I asked her how she knew, and she said..."

"Because her father was one of the people who searched for the treasure back then..."

"It is precisely because her father was one of the people who knew about this back then that she was so certain of the news and so certain that the treasure had not yet been discovered."

As Da Shang Zhu Shan finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face.

It seemed like helplessness, and it also seemed like self-mockery...

"Back then, when I heard this news, I was so excited that I told Senma Kazuyo that I would definitely find Karasuma Renya's treasure with her, so that her father, who died searching for the treasure, could rest in peace..."

"So, the two of us began our real treasure hunt."

"She pulled out all her savings from her life as a detective, and I contributed most of my fortune from my years as a chef and detective, and that's how we barely managed to buy the Twilight Villa..."

"Surprisingly, this castle isn't as expensive as we imagined, and it's changed hands several times over the decades. Perhaps these people, like me and Senma Kazuyo, are after Karasuma Renya's treasure..."
