Chapter 407 Mr. Asano, You Have Changed

[Mezcal: Sir, during my investigation of Epcot, I came across a document from seventeen years ago, signed by Mezcal. Is Mezcal someone else? ]

Nobuhiro stared at the words on the computer screen expressionlessly, and after a moment, he clicked the send button. The email landed in the gentleman's inbox almost instantly.

He finally sent it out.

Prior to this, Xinfan had "written and deleted this email, deleted and written it again" countless times.

Intellectually, Nobuhiro understood that he could have asked the gentleman directly about this matter. Regardless of whether there was a conspiracy behind it or not, at least he could get a clue from the BOSS's reaction.

But in his sensibility, the sixth sense prevents Nobuhiro from making rational decisions. It seems that this problem is Pandora's box. Once a small opening is opened, the next disaster will follow.

The final motivation that supported him in sending the email was that he understood that given his status and situation, it was absolutely not advisable to be cautious.

Either take the initiative and find a way out of the changes, or sit back and wait for death.

The gentleman still followed his usual style and sent a reply in just two minutes:

[Twilight Annex in Tottori Prefecture, you can go and see it when you have time. The answer lies there. ]

Dusk villa?

Nobushige remembers this place. Aoyama Gangmasa used the case that happened in the twilight annex to pay tribute to the classic "No Survival". So he also remembered that Conan had entered the Dusk Annex, but at the time no one thought that this special episode would be related to the main plot.

Not even Conan discovered the secret of the Dusk Annex, so Nobushige once thought that although that place was related to Karasuma Renya, it was probably just one of his properties.

How come the secret of "Mezcal" is hidden in Dusk Villa?

Nobushige quickly packed up his things and decided to go upstairs now and ask Mouri Kogoro if he had received any strange commissions or invitations recently.

Mori Detective Agency——

"Ah, I just wanted Xiaolan to go down and call you!" Mouri Kogoro greeted Nobushige warmly, "I received a pure black invitation letter. Someone invited me to be a guest at a place called Dusk Annex. .Are you busy recently?"

Nobuhiro immediately replied: "I'm not busy. As your agent, it's natural for me to accompany you."

Even if you are busy, you should take time out. It would be much safer to follow the protagonist group than to go alone, and with Conan's acumen, it might be possible to help him find the secret of Mescal.

"The owner of this dusk annex must be a fan of mine. Although he printed the invitation letter on pure black paper, the content was very sincere." Mouri Kogoro chuckled, "Seeing how sincere he is. For your sake, I will take some time to take you over for dinner, and remember to bring a formal dress."

After Conan glanced at Mouri Kogoro, he betrayed him mercilessly: "What? It's obviously because I enclosed a check for two million yen with the letter."

"What do you know?!" Mouri Kogoro said angrily, "The two million is the appearance fee for inviting famous detectives. The more I have, the more I can prove my worth. Are you right, Asano?"

Conan curled his lips and lowered his voice and said to Nobuhiro: "It's all your fault. Uncle Maori is becoming more and more upright and greedy for money."

Nobuhiro thought there was nothing wrong with this. Why should you hide the money you earn from your fame?

Of course, it's understandable that Conan is unhappy. After all, all this money was earned by playing the role of the sleeping Kogoro, but in the end he didn't get a penny and had to ask his parents to give money to the Mori family.

Nobushige said with emotion: "That said, the client this time just invited Mr. Mori to be a guest. He actually paid two million yen in advance. He is really generous."

"Yeah, it's strange, isn't it? Usually, even with Brother Asano as a check, most of the commissions my uncle receives are only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yen in remuneration, and he often doesn't get the commission fee. For such a generous commission like this one People are so rare.”

Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but mutter: "What are you talking about, little brat?!"

"That's right." Mao Lilan suddenly said, "The sender's signature is also very strange. It's called 'The Phantom of the Son Abandoned by God'."

Mouri Kogoro took out the invitation letter and handed it to Nobushige: "It doesn't matter, we are just going to have a meal anyway."

Seeing Asano Nobushige take the invitation and read it carefully, Conan thought that Mr. Asano was as interested in "The Phantom of God's Abandoned Son" as he was. No, it should be said that Mr. Asano must have already figured out who the inviter is!

However, all he saw was that the man he considered a close friend returned the invitation letter to Mouri Kogoro with a smile on his face, and said: "Mr. Mouri and I have the same view. No matter what, we can go to the appointment if we are invited." knew."

Conan: "..."

Mr. Asano, you have changed! You are no longer the hot and spicy man I admired in the past!

Facing Conan's increasingly resentful eyes, Nobuhiro's smile widened a little.

…

On a sunny morning, Nobushige drove Mouri Kogoro, his daughter and son-in-law and their family, starting from Tokyo and heading towards the Dusk Annex in Tottori Prefecture.

With Nobutushige, a financially independent partner, Mouri Kogoro finally bid farewell to the title of "car rental nightmare" and can rent a car.

Mouri Kogoro was sitting in the passenger seat. He smoked so hard that Nobushige had to open the window for ventilation. Conan and Mao Lilan sat in the back row and loved each other. Of course, this love affair is just Conan's imagination. Mao Lilan sat next to him mainly because she was worried about the children moving around in the car.

After all, it was a trip across cities and counties, so Nobuhiro quickly drove onto the highway.

It was also from here that Mouri Kogoro suddenly turned on the navigation mode. He pointed at Nobuhiro with the map. If Nobushige didn't know the way to Tottori Prefecture and knew to read the road signs, he would have almost been guided into the ravine by Mouri Kogoro's navigation system.

But their destination was indeed a dense mountain forest.

When they arrived in Tottori Prefecture, Nobushige was the only one still awake in the car. He saw the peaceful sleeping faces of Mouri, Kogoro and the others through the rearview mirror, so he reached out and raised the temperature of the air conditioner.

At this time, the sky gradually became dark.

There are not many street lights on the rugged mountain road. At night, the road in the distance cannot be seen with only moonlight and car lights. Therefore, Nobushige drove extremely carefully and would honk the horn to slow down at every corner.

However, even so, when Nobuhiro saw a bright light flashing past his eyes, he realized that something bad had happened!

"boom--"

The huge noise was accompanied by violent vibrations, which almost immediately woke up Conan and the others.

"What's going on?" Mouri Kogoro was so frightened that his heart was pounding. "Did you hit someone?"
