Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

Chapter 678............

After saying these words, Oosugi kept a close eye on the expressions of the detectives around him.

He noticed that no one's expression changed much when he tried to explain himself.

Everyone's face was so indifferent.

Some people even had expressions that clearly said, "Go on, I'm just listening..."

Ugh--

Da Shang Zhu Shan sighed inwardly.

In this situation, I really can't explain myself even if I'm in the right...

That damned murderer! You killed that old woman, Chima Kōdai, and now you've dragged yourself into this mess too…

While Da Shang Zhu Shan sighed, he couldn't help but feel somewhat fortunate.

Fortunately, I realized my mistake early and confessed everything.

Now, even if those detectives have their doubts, they should give themselves some time to investigate...

“I know you may not believe me,”

Da Shang Zhu Shan was terrified that she would actually be considered the murderer, so she spoke these words with utmost sincerity.

“But I can swear that I really did not kill Chima Kazuyo, and I have never thought of killing her.”

"Not only did I never intend to kill him, I even had to constantly guard against being killed by her..."

As he spoke, Da Shang Zhu Shan paused, his expression complex, then glanced around at everyone and said in a deep voice,

"I think you all probably already thought of that."

"Chima Kazuyo smeared poison on the handle of the teacup, but who was the poison intended for...?"

"It was me! The poison was targeted at me!"

As Da Shang Zhu Shan spoke, he became somewhat agitated.

"I can tell you definitively that the poison was designed specifically for me!"

"Because I have a habit that I don't know if it's good or bad—when I'm thinking, I subconsciously bite my nails."

"I've displayed this habit many times in front of Chima Kazuyo, so it's not surprising that she knows about it..."

"hehe,"

Upon hearing this, the white horse scout chuckled twice.

"It seems that Detective Ogami Shuzen is really very sincere."

"That's right, that's right,"

Seeing that someone believed in and accepted him, Da Shang Zhu Shan nodded repeatedly.

"I am now truly being honest with everyone, and I am telling you the truth."

"So,"

At this moment, Ikumi Gunta also spoke up, asking Ogami Ishizane earnestly,

"What exactly is the purpose of you and Senma Kazuyo inviting us detectives here?"

"yes,"

Following Ikumi Yamada's words, Harufumi Mogi spoke in a deep voice to Ikumi Ogami.

"You, and Sister Senma Kazuyo, invited us here under the name of Phantom Thief Kid. Is your purpose really, as the recording mentioned earlier, to have us search for the treasure inside this castle?"

"Um, it shouldn't be that bad, right?"

Tequila, having caught up with the pace, scratched its head.

"Does anyone actually believe in this treasure trove?"

"I've always felt that those words were just a game to deceive children..."

"I have no idea......................."

As Da Shangzhu listened to everyone's comments, he couldn't help but feel a little wavering.

If it were before, he would never have wavered.

After all, he had already emptied all his savings for the treasures of this Twilight Villa!

All the money I'd earned as a detective over the years had been poured into this bottomless pit of a treasure hunt at the Twilight Mansion.........................

In fact, to invite these detectives this time, and to show off his generosity, he even went into debt, borrowing tens of millions of yen as the checks attached to the invitations...

He felt he would go crazy if he couldn't find the treasure...

but......................

That's based on the premise that you find the treasure and are still alive to enjoy it all!

Now that Senma Fuyuki is dead, who knows if I'll be next!

Da Shang Zhu Shan can't afford to gamble anymore..............................

Compared to something as elusive as treasure, he felt his own life was more important...

"I really don't know,"

Da Shang Zhu Shan looked somewhat pained.

He remained silent for a few minutes, organizing his thoughts, before finally sighing and speaking.

"Senma Kazuyo and I are indeed here for the treasure of the Twilight Villa that was mentioned in the previous recording."

"However, at the beginning, we did not intend to invite so many detectives to help us find the treasure."

Once Da Shang Zhu Shan started talking, he seemed unable to stop.

He crossed his arms, pursed his lips repeatedly, and finally opened them.

“A long time ago, it was Senma Kōdai who found me.”

"That was about three years ago. At that time, Senma Kazuyo already had a very high reputation in the detective world, and I had also made a name for myself as a gourmet detective, considered one of the top detectives in Japan............................"
