Conan Super Detective

Then the three of them came to this slope facing the sea, which directly faced the sea of ​​Jiangshenyuan, but unfortunately it was a foggy day and only the cross standing on the cemetery could be seen.

"With a scale of more than 5,000 people, it seems that many people from other countries have died here..." Dong Ma said with a smile.

"Most of them are for Eshinhara, even for foreigners who have made contributions to Japan. There is no way to return to their hometown, so they can only be buried here." Xiaolan explained.

And this must be the reason why the cross faces the sea... Dongma thought.

Immediately after, Xiaolan came to a tombstone full of bouquets in front, and placed the St. John's wort in her hand on it.

"Elizabeth Montgomery... the last witch?" Dong Ma looked at the name on the tombstone and suddenly understood something.

"You also know..." Xiao Lan said something unclearly, and then began to pray.

The cemetery surrounded by mist seemed to be silent again.

...

"Help!" This was an old man's cry for help.

Dongma did not move, but stayed in place to protect Xiaolan, and Xiaogoro immediately rushed towards the iron gate where the sound came from.

After a while, Dongma brought Xiaolan to the iron gate, just in time to see Xiaogoro looking around in anger, while an old man with a panic expression was lying on the ground.

In his somewhat dry mouth, he kept spitting out scary words...

"The witch... is the witch...!!!"

"What kind of witch, obviously a man whose face was completely burned!" Kogoro seemed to see the face of the assailant, but the others got nothing.

Xiaolan went to comfort the old man, and then the three decided to send the old man home. As for whether to report to the police, that was their business.

Chapter 1227 Eighth more Jiang Shenyuan's Witch (Witch's Legacy)

PS: Thank you "lhch3424" for your monthly ticket support.

The old man is in Miura Law Firm, ten minutes away from the cemetery. It seems that the old man is still a lawyer.

This is a man with a high nose, blue eyes, and chestnut hair. He is obviously of Caucasian ancestry. Judging from his surname, it seems to be mixed.

"Sorry, today is a rest day, and the people who usually come to the office to help are not there, I'm sorry..." The old lawyer apologized and took out his business card to Kogoro.

Miura seemed very excited after seeing the business card returned by Kogoro.

"Mao, Maori... I didn't expect it to be the famous Maori Kogoro in person!"

Kogoro, as always, did not have the ability to resist the praise of others, and immediately smiled triumphantly.

At this time, Miura suddenly said seriously that there was something to ask Kogoro to investigate. Kogoro, who was highly praised, naturally agreed.

Immediately Miura carefully took out a letter wrapped in a handkerchief from a tall drawer.

Looking at the brown envelope handed over, Kogoro put on his gloves and looked at it with some confusion.

"It seems to be very important..." Dongma thought.

"The witch's things are the witch's things. If you touch it directly, you will be cursed by the witch to take 673 your heart away!" This is a word posted on letterhead in newspaper.

"It probably refers to the legacy of the woman who died a few days ago. People here all call her a witch." Miura explained.

"Legacy? It seems that the number is not small..." Kogoro curled his lips.

"Her own assets are 500 million, and her family's real estate totals probably more than 2 billion..." Miura said lightly.

Kogoro was frightened immediately, but Dongma went to check the letter.

"Who is she?" Dongma seemed to faintly guessed a possibility.

"Her name is Elizabeth Montgomery, the proprietress of the vanilla shop..."

"We were just sweeping this person's tomb?" Dongma smiled strangely.

And Xiaolan also said that the witch's book "The Secret of European Vanilla", she reads every day, and by the way, she also used Kogoro and Conan as experimental products and asked them to drink a lot of fragrant tea prepared by the above formula.

Hearing this, Kogoro's face suddenly turned ugly, and Dongma asked amusedly: "Then what is the life of this witch?"

"I don't know, although I am her counselor, she actually rarely talks about her past, but I think it should be someone who lived here in the early Meiji..." Miura shook his head and smiled bitterly.

In other words, this'witch' must be at least a hundred years old...

"I remember an old man in his nineties once said that Elizabeth's vanilla shop has been opened there since he can remember, and my grandfather settled here from Belgium 85 years ago, and she was also I have lived here for a long time." Miura added.

"Speaking of which, she used to be a viscount noble of Europa."

"Noble? Why did you come to Japan at that time?" At that time, Japan was a wild land far worse than the Qing Dynasty.

"Her family likes to use herbs to treat diseases and save people, but this behavior is also in the eyes of the church." Miura explained.

"Huh, why?" Dongma asked strangely.

"Because of such a thing, it is easy to be dragged into the list of witch hunting..." Miura said.

However, Dongma almost couldn't help laughing when he heard this,'Are you kidding me?How do I remember that the last witch hunt was over in 1788?'

And Miura went on to say: "Of course it was actually because her family's fief was very rich, so she was driven out by the king for this reason..."

Dongma nodded when he heard this. Obviously, the so-called witches are all excuses, and land or politics is the key.

"Then let's get back to the subject, who will her inheritance be left to?" Dongma nodded and asked.

"In her suicide note, there are three heirs with the highest priority, and none of them are relatives..." Miura replied. Sure enough, this'witch' was a strange guy.

"Because she has no blood relatives, she only has an adopted daughter named Tsurumi Yoko..." Miura seemed to be familiar with Tsurumi and said of her beauty and gentleness.

"Then why is her name not on the will?" Dong Ma asked next.

, This is also what surprised me. Ming He saw that Miss is a very filial person, and that she herself has no wealth..." Miura shook his head sympathetically.

Immediately Miura began to introduce the three people on the will. It seemed that they were three childhood sweethearts who had also formed a juvenile detective team when they were young.

"The first pick is Toda Jiro, the principal and founder of the private Ejinbara Elementary School. Next is Motomachi Seizo, who runs a toy museum near the port. And the last one is Isesaki Riki, currently serving as A member of the Gangshinwon City Council is also my customer."

In short, they are all local people with faces and faces, and the three of them are collectively called the "Three Saints" of Jiang Shenyuan

"Oh, yes, if the three people cannot inherit or refuse to inherit the inheritance, they will be inherited by their children. If there is still no one to inherit, it will be inherited by Ms. Tsurumi."

Following Miura’s introduction, Touma immediately understood the crux of the problem, “In other words, if all the heirs are dead, the adopted daughter Tsurumi will become the only heir, and everyone else will be the same. They are all dead, so naturally he inherited the inheritance alone!"

Hearing that Miura added: "If the luck is really bad and Miss Tsurumi can't inherit, it will be inherited by Father Sakuragi of the church."
