After traveling through Detective Conan, I became a popular person

After attending an important meeting at the Hoshino Group, Hitomi Hoshino returned to the chairman's office and sat leisurely at her desk drinking tea.

Shimazaki Takumi, who had just arrived at the chairman's office, noticed at a glance that there was a new gorgeous and exquisite necklace around Hoshino Hitomi's neck.

Shimazaki Takumi asked with a smile: "Is this the new necklace you bought recently? This necklace suits you very well."

Hoshino Hitomi smiled gently and replied: "This was given to me by someone else. I like this necklace very much too."

Shimazaki Takumi immediately guessed that this was probably the necklace given by someone pursuing Hoshino Hitomi, and then he saw the ruby ​​ring hanging in the golden necklace.

Shimazaki Takumi's face turned dark, as if his cabbage was being eaten by a pig.

Hoshino Hitomi then picked up a few pieces of information, sighed, and continued, "I really have no clue..."

"Is there something bothering you, young lady?" Seeing this, Takumi Shimazaki immediately asked with concern.

Hoshino Hitomi explained calmly: "Yes, when I was in the United States, I accidentally got a letter from my father. The letter said that there is a cave in the mountains of Japan, and if I go in, I will find the answer I want."

Hoshino Hitomi reluctantly put the information aside and continued, "But I have not made any progress on this matter, and there are so many mountains and caves in Japan, where can I find it?"

"Miss, where did you find this letter?!" Shimazaki Takumi was suddenly shocked, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

"I found it in the mansion where my parents often live in the United States. The letter was under the bed in the room." Hitomi Hoshino replied.

Hoshino Hitomi's face became more serious, and she added: "But when I found the letter, I found that the upper half of the letter had been burned. Only the lower half was left, which talked about the mountains and caves in Japan. It contained the answer I wanted."

Shimazaki Takumi was silent for a long time, and said with a complicated expression: "Miss, you should give up looking for the answer."

"Oh? Why?" asked Hoshino Hitomi with a raised eyebrow.

Hoshino Hitomi narrowed her eyes slightly and said in an unclear tone: "So, when I just said that I received the letter my father left for me in the United States, your face started to look a little strange."

When Shimazaki Takumi heard this, his pupils shrank and he stood there in a daze, his body stiff.

Hoshino Hitomi turned her head to look at Shimazaki Takumi, propped up her chin with one hand, and asked slowly: "Uncle Shimazaki, you are not hiding something from me until now, are you?"

Shimazaki Takumi knelt on the ground, his face pale, his eyes closed, and he said with shame: "Miss, I am sorry for you!"

Hoshino Hitomi quickly stood up and helped Shimazaki Takumi, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked in confusion: "Uncle Shimazaki, what are you doing?"

Shimazaki Takumi hesitated for a long time, then slowly said, "I didn't mean to not tell you, Miss. It was all for your safety."

Hoshino Hitomi frowned slightly: "What?"

Shimazaki Takumi said solemnly: "Actually, I know the first half of the content of the letter."

Shimazaki Takumi continued, "The first half is about a deserted mountain in Tokyo. When it is foggy in the early morning, a cave will appear when you reach there."

"Enter the cave, and you will find a long-sealed box inside. The box contains the truth about Hoshino Souma's death. In other words, as long as we get the box, the truth about the cause of death of Miss Souma's great-grandfather will be revealed."

When Shimazaki Takumi said this, a barely perceptible glimmer of resentment flashed in his eyes, and his words were filled with hatred.

"That box was left by your great grandfather to the younger generation so that they can know the truth and better guard against the people of the Karasuma Group."

"But the box was discovered by that ruthless guy, who took the opportunity to steal it and buried it in a cave deep in the mountains..."

"I heard that the cave is very strange. Except for five in the morning, the cave entrance will not appear on the mountain at other times."

"That is to say, except for five in the morning, you can't enter the cave at other times." Shimazaki Takumi said in a heavy tone.

"As for why we discovered that we could enter the cave at five in the morning, it was an accidental discovery by the bodyguards who were sent out to search when Mr. Hoshino was still alive, but..." Shimazaki Takumi paused, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

When Hoshino Hitomi saw Shimazaki Takumi's expression, she felt something was wrong.

Hoshino Hitomi asked in confusion: "Just what?"

Shimazaki Takumi sighed deeply, unable to hide the grief on his face, and replied, "It's just that none of the five teams of strictly trained bodyguards sent out by the Hoshino family survived, and there is no news of them. There were a total of 120 people."

When Hoshino Hitomi heard this, her pupils suddenly shrank and she stood there in a daze for a long time.

After recovering from her shock, a complex look flashed across Hoshino Hitomi's eyes.

One hundred and twenty lives...what does this mean?

Hoshino Hitomi couldn't help but clench her fists, the veins on the back of her hands bulged, and her originally pink nails turned slightly white.

This beast Karasuma Renya really can't be spared at all!

Shimazaki Takumi said calmly: "That is to say, once someone enters that cave, they will never be able to come back."

Shimazaki Takumi said in an almost pleading tone: "Miss, please listen to my advice and don't go there to find the truth. The Hoshino family and the group cannot afford to lose you!"

"I understand, Uncle Shimazaki, don't worry, I will never take risks." Hoshino Hitomi agreed seriously.

Shimazaki Takumi smiled with relief, and then reminded: "Hearing what the young lady said, I feel relieved. It will take time to bring down the Karasuma Group. We need to plan ahead."

2-22, Beika-cho, Tokyo

As soon as Hoshino Hitomi finished her work, she rode her motorcycle to Dr. Agasa's house, got off and rang the doorbell.

Dr. Agasa came to open the door, and when he saw Hoshino Hitomi, a hint of joy immediately flashed in his eyes.

Hoshino Hitomi smiled politely and took the initiative to say hello: "Good afternoon, Doctor."

"Hey, good afternoon, Xiaotong." Dr. Agasa said with a kind smile.

"I'm here to pick up the thing I asked you to make before. I wonder what happened to the prop now?" asked Hitomi Hoshino.

Dr. Agasa smiled and replied, "Of course it's done. I'll take it to Hitomi right away."

Dr. Agasa guessed that Hoshino Hitomi would not stay long, so he planned to give her the props directly.

After all, the last few times Hoshino Hitomi came over, she came in a hurry and left in a hurry, and she seemed to be in a particularly hurry.

"Okay, thank you, Doctor~" Hoshino Hitomi said with a smile.

After a while, Dr. Agasa came out of the house with a black leather wristband in his hand.
