Conan, My Neighbor Kurosawa Jin

They didn't have to wait long. Takagihara Jiro quickly drove over in a long sightseeing car.

"I took a look. This is the only car that can take everyone, so I can only take this car." Takagihara Jiro sat in the car and waved his hand. There was no way that the other cars were all for five people, so there was no way. I can't hold so many people.

The larger cars are all in the garage, which is a bit far away, and it's really inconvenient to drive here.

"It's okay, this car looks pretty good!" Dr. Ali waved his hand, any car will do, it's just a means of transportation anyway.

"This car looks like an amusement park car!" Ayumi and the others looked at the car in front of them curiously as they got into the car.

"Yes, it looks like the kind where tourists sit!" Yuantai nodded.

"You guessed it right, this car is indeed the kind of sightseeing car used in amusement parks. After all, this house is quite big. Sometimes it is inconvenient to bring people here and take other cars." Jiro Takagihara nodded.

Although there are no other cars at home, generally speaking, they are not as convenient as this car.

"Grandpa Hara Erlang, your house is really big! It feels like half a mountain!" Mitsuhiko sighed with emotion as he looked at the endless yard.

"Absolutely! When this house was built, it seemed to occupy 1/3 of the top of the mountain. The entire area of ​​the guild hall... It took several years to build such a large guild hall, because the house was too big. , so it became the ancestral home.

After all, without a family of several hundred people, this house would feel empty. "Takagihara Jiro introduced to them while driving the car.

"A few hundred mouths?"

"Are there so many people?" Several children from the Youth Detective Team were dumbfounded by this number. They did not expect to see such a large family.

"Yes." Takagihara Jiro nodded proudly.

"Grandpa Yuan Erlang, are these hundreds of your sons and grandsons? Or are they your brothers and uncles who also live here?

I remember you said before that you are the head of the family? Conan asked curiously.

"Yes, kid, you have a pretty good memory. I am indeed the head of the house, and the people living in this house do include my brothers, uncles, and my own descendants.

But my uncles, uncles, and my brothers all have their own children, so most of them are taken away by their respective children. They only come back to live occasionally, and their rooms are reserved here.

There are still a small number of people who either have a bad relationship with their children, are never married and have no children, or are young and unmarried. They have always lived here, but there are relatively few of them.

Most of the rest are my children and grandchildren, and a small number of my nieces and nephews. "Takagihara Jiro introduced them to the general population living here. His family can be considered to have many children and grandchildren, with a total of five sons and three daughters, plus the children they gave birth to after their respective marriages. children, but his descendants number as many as thirty or forty people, not counting their respective spouses.

"There are only uncles. That means that if your child, Grandpa Yuan Erlang, becomes the new head of the house, your uncles will have to move out of this house, right?" Mitsuhiko asked.

"Yes, you suspect it's my uncles? Then you are wrong. Although our relationship may not be very good, they don't have to worry about this house at all.

Our family is not only rich for me personally, but also for their respective development. In addition, they hold part of the company's shares. It can be said that they are very good and don't worry about money.

In addition, even if something goes wrong with this house, it won't be their turn to inherit it. Even if my descendants don't inherit it, my brothers' descendants will inherit it, far less than them. "Takagihara Jiro shook his head. It can be said that even if there is any problem with this house, the possibility that no one will live here is much greater than the possibility that they will inherit it.

They wouldn't be that stupid.

"Grandpa Yuan Erlang, you haven't told us what's wrong with this house yet?" Conan reminded.

"By the way, I forgot to mention this." Jiro Takagihara suddenly remembered that he seemed to have not talked about this with them, "Actually, is the problem with this house a big one? Is it a small one?

We have lived in this house for hundreds of years, and there have been no problems before. However, in the past few months, something has suddenly appeared in the house, or something has been missing.

There were originally a lot of people living here, including our family and the servants working here, there must be a total of four to five hundred people. It is normal for something to be misplaced.

Even if something is missing, it is likely that it was taken by someone else. This is normal.

But the recent situation is very strange. There are often more things in every corner of the house, which are the treasures I mentioned before.

But many of these things are unknown to us. Originally, we thought that someone had found some treasure from our ancestors. This happens often.

But after I asked around, no one admitted it, and no one said they had seen those things.

Not only that, but what happened later was weird. There were all kinds of expensive appliances in this house. It could be said that each one was priceless, and few people would touch it. They were antiques after all.

But not long after we found things, we discovered that many things would disappear inexplicably. At first they were small jewelry or cups, and we didn't pay much attention to them.

But then the things thrown away became even bigger, and even a large vase half a person's height was thrown away. I asked everyone, but no one had seen this vase at all.

I searched around the hall and couldn't find it at all. But even if someone stole such a large vase, it would be impossible to transport it out of the guild hall, and it would be impossible to hide it, but in fact it was impossible to find it.

In the end, this situation is becoming more and more common, and I have no choice but to ask you for help. "Takagihara Jiro also felt a little helpless. Although the lost things were not very expensive to them, this thing was indeed very strange, which made them both curious and worried.

"No problem, just leave it to us!" Ayumi and the others said seriously, patting their chests, "We are a young detective team!"

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you!" Takagihara Jiro said with a smile.

Hearing their direct agreement, Conan and Haihara Ai's expressions did not change. After all, they had long been used to it.

However, the situation in this club is indeed a bit strange. If something is gone, it has been stolen, but what happens if there are more things? Could it be that someone came to give money?

After getting off the car, Takagihara Jiro led the way, and Imaguchi Kokoro and the others followed behind. As a result, they saw a very exaggerated scene.

On both sides of the road, there were maids in maid uniforms on one side and housekeepers in suits on the other. When they saw them coming, they immediately shouted.

"Hello, sir!"

Takagihara Jiro nodded, waved his hand, and the people on both sides immediately retreated.

Conan and the others stared at the embarrassing scene in front of them with their mouths twitching, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"If you have anything to ask, you can choose to ask me or other people here, and they will tell you." Sitting in the clubhouse, Takagihara Jiro held a cup of tea in his hand and drank it slowly. , said after finishing the drink.

"Grandpa Hara Erlang, do everyone live in this house? I think this house is quite big, but it doesn't seem like it can accommodate so many people?" Conan looked up and down at the house in front of him, although the house in front of him looked like There is a castle, but it actually only has four floors. Even if it covers a relatively large area, it only has dozens of rooms. How can it possibly accommodate dozens or hundreds of people?
