Chapter 1034
At this moment, what really interested him was Isegawa Ganzo, who had left the will.
By appointing the father of his great-granddaughter as the heir to the estate, perhaps he had the intention of leaving the estate to his great-granddaughter from the very beginning?
Although Tokei himself didn't show too much favoritism, he had sought out him, an Onmyoji capable of divination, beforehand, and had secretly been protecting Yuriko all along, and hadn't let these people be accidentally injured by the defense system.
What a strange family...
On the small hill where the shadow was projected, after Genta and the others dug a few times, the ground automatically collapsed, revealing another underground space that looked like a labyrinth.
However, there were no forks inside, and it led directly to a basement, which was where the final treasure was located.
"Mr. Tokei," Akaso Kaze called out to Tokei, who was following behind the group, "or should I call you Mr. Matsunaka Yoshito? You were indeed specifically looking for me, right?"
Tokei's gaze tightened under his sunglasses: "I just wanted to find Yuriko through Lord Akaso."
"It doesn't matter," Akaso Kaze walked into the basement side-by-side with Tokei, "actually, Isegawa had his reasons for choosing you to execute the will."
The basement was filled with gold. Yuriko stood in front of a pile of gold bricks, accompanied by Conan and the others.
Compared to the inestimable huge wealth, the attention of the few children was instead attracted by a photo frame placed on the gold bricks.
It was a photo of a young Isegawa Ganzo and a little girl who looked just like Yuriko, placed preciously right above the treasure, as if it were more important than the treasure itself.
"This is?"
"It's the Master's granddaughter," Tokei said, "which is Yuriko's mother. Actually, that riddle was thought up by Yuriko's mother when she was a child..."
"My mother?" Yuriko turned around and looked at Tokei.
"That's right," Tokei recalled.
"I heard that the Master always doted on Yuriko's mother, this granddaughter, because she looked very much like his deceased wife. So the Master tried every possible way to bring her back after she eloped with me.
At that time, he also had a considerable amount of dealings with people in the underworld. If he had really been angered, I don't know what would have happened...
"In order to protect Yuriko's mother and Yuriko, who had just been born, I had no choice but to disappear from their sight and stay by the Master's side to work..."
"You..." Yuriko stared blankly at Tokei, "Who are you?"
"Lord Akaso might have known from the beginning," Tokei took off his sunglasses, revealing a sorrowful face, "I am indeed Matsunaka Yoshito, which is Yuriko's father 880."
"D-Dad?" Yuriko covered her little mouth in surprise.
"The Master suddenly said last year that he wanted to see his granddaughter and make up with Yuriko's mother, so I immediately went to look..."
Tokei looked at Yuriko, whose eyes were misty.
"But I learned the news of her death. Because of despair, the Master's health suddenly became very poor, until he finally left his last words: as long as the riddle is solved, I can gain my freedom... Now that I think about it, the Master might have intended to leave the treasure to Yuriko all along."
"Mr. Isegawa Ganzo certainly owed your family a lot."
Akaso Kaze's gaze swept over the mountain-like treasure.
He suddenly frowned slightly.
In a conspicuous position, there was a letter of commission.
Akaso Kaze picked it up and took a look.
He couldn't help but curl his lip slightly.
This was actually a commission for Akaso Kaze to act as a guardian, helping Matsunaka Yuriko manage the property he left behind until Matsunaka Yuriko came of age.
Akaso Kaze curled his lip and handed the commission to Matsunaka Yoshito.
