Lin Xinyi was holding the invitation letter that seemed to be sent by the Riddler, and was at a loss.

No way, he didn't take supplementary lessons in Hawaii, and his knowledge is relatively narrow.

Facing this kind of crossword riddle surrounded by clouds and mountains and mists, he can only feel dizzy.

On the other hand, Conan frowned, as if he thought of something soon.

But before Conan found a chance to speak, Okiya Subaru solved the puzzle with a speed not inferior to him:

"Abandoned by God, Phantom Child."

"A phantom is a phantom."

"Zai refers to young animals."

"The child abandoned by God refers to a goat that is not blessed by God in the New Testament. That is to say, what is mentioned in the invitation letter means 'little goat'."

"In English a goat is called a goat, and a kid is called..."

Okiya Subaru calmly showed his detective-level puzzle-solving ability:

"Kid."

After saying this word, Okiya Subaru couldn't help showing a little surprise on his plain expression:

"That is, Phantom Thief Kid."

"Kidd?" Lin Xinyi was a little surprised:

Is this letter from Kaitou Kidd?

How is this possible?

Kidd obviously...

He quietly looked at Conan quietly and asked the famous detective for advice.

And Conan could only nod silently to confirm:

"Yeah, the guy was right."

"This..." Lin Xinyi's expression became even weirder:

Kidd has long been recruited by the Metropolitan Police Department, and now he is busy cooperating with the Japanese police to deal with another organization.

In his spare time, he also goes on dates with his girlfriend, Miss Nakamori.

Where did he find the time to play tricks here?

And if Kidd wants to find him for dinner, does he still need to send a letter of entrustment?

Why don't you just make a phone call?

"Mr. Lin..."

"Since this is an invitation letter from 'Kidd', shall we accept this invitation?"

Mao Lilan asked with a strange expression.

Both she and Conan knew about Kidd's current real situation, and naturally knew that the person who sent this invitation letter would definitely not be Kaitou Kidd.

When something goes wrong, there must be a demon, so it's better not to go there.

but…

Lin Xin took a look at Mao Lilan and Conan:

This is obviously a gesture of killing people.

"Let's go anyway."

Lin Xinyi thought for a while:

Although I knew that there must be something strange behind this invitation letter, I also expected that this journey might lead to death.

But just like last time on American Island... If he goes in time, maybe he can prevent the real tragedy from happening.

"However, after all, this matter involves 'Phantom Thief Kidd'."

"I'll call Minister Odagiri first to report the situation."

Lin Xinyi temporarily suspended the discussion, and then avoided Okiya Subaru, an outsider who still had a gap, and walked aside to call Minister Odagiri.

After receiving the call and understanding the situation, Minister Odagiri gave a surprising reply:

He already knew about it.

Because the invitation letter was not only sent to Lin Xinyi, but also sent directly to the home of the police chief.

It was sent to the son of the Baima Police Chief, the famous detective Baima Tan.

He used to be Kaitou Kidd's old enemy.

But Detective Baima now knows the true face of Kaitou Kidd.

Moreover, he has become an inseparable good friend with his old enemy, rival, and classmate.

Therefore, Mr. Baima was not at all interested in this invitation letter bluffing and defrauding in the name of a gay friend, and he had no intention of accepting the invitation to the banquet at all.

Kidd himself was too busy fighting with that mysterious organization, so he couldn't get away from dealing with these scammers.

After the Metropolitan Police Department and the Japanese Public Security learned about the incident from Detective Baima, they did not have the slightest intention to intervene in this incident.

Because for law enforcement agencies like them, this kind of thing shouldn't be seen too much.

There are even liars in the society who pretend to be Qin Shihuang and ask for money.

There are even more boring people pretending to be Kidd's name to make jokes and pranks.

If you have to deal with this kind of thing every time you see it, how can the already stretched police force be enough?

And this invitation letter was sent to a detective, and a detective-style puzzle was specially written in the letter——

From this point of view, it seems that private detective enthusiasts are again playing tricks to invite their colleagues to do something like "Detective Jiaziyuan" in private.

In this age of detective worship, such things are also not uncommon.

As law enforcement agencies and intelligence agencies with a lot of affairs, the Metropolitan Police Department and the Japanese Public Security Bureau are neither willing nor necessary to intervene in this kind of private detective gathering.

"Lin, you don't need to pay attention to this kind of folk invitation."

"Compared to those rich people who are so bored that they play tricks and invite a detective home for a party, the Metropolitan Police Department needs your wisdom more."

This is the opinion of Minister Odagiri.

"But Miss Maury also received the letter."

"..." A moment of silence.

Minister Odagiri quickly understood the real intention of his call:

"Okay... I'll give you two more days off."

"Go back quickly."

Lin Xinyi's holiday efforts kept pace with Didan Primary School again.

After a rare 3-day long shift, he got another 2-day leave from the leader.

"OK, thank you Minister."

Lin Xinyi hung up the phone with satisfaction.

After he had a premonition that another person might die during this journey, he had already planned to accept the invitation to go to the banquet.

Now that the leave has been approved, the next thing to find out is the address of this mysterious dinner.

"The Twilight Pavilion..."

Lin Xinyi took out his mobile phone and entered a text message, and asked Noah's Ark to help him search the address online.

And the query result shows:

"The Pavilion of Twilight, located in Tottori Prefecture..."

The specific address is very detailed.

But Lin Xinyi immediately saw a sentence:

"The museum was built between the Meiji and Taisho years. It is the ancestral home of Karasuma Renye, a legendary rich man in Japan..."

"Karasuma Renye?!" These four characters can be regarded as shocking Lin Xinyi.

He didn't expect that this invitation letter encapsulating gods and ghosts could be related to the boss of the organization.

Fortunately, if I read on further, I will soon be able to read such words from the materials:

"40 years ago, after the legendary tycoon Karasuma Renye passed away, the business empire Karasuma Group, founded by her mother and son for two generations, soon fell apart with the death of the helmsman and declared bankruptcy and reorganization."

"The Twilight Pavilion, as the property under the name of the Karasuma Group, was also confiscated by the bank to repay the debt, and sold at auction."

After reading this, Lin Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief:

He knew that Renya Karasuma was still alive, and even secretly controlled the new Karasuma Group after bankruptcy and reorganization through white gloves similar to Kenzo Masuyama, as well as the group's huge property distributed around the world.

But regulators are not blind.

No matter how arrogant the Ziben family is, they can't play the game of fooling supervision and transferring property without restraint.

No matter how Karasuma Renye's hands and eyes are open to the sky, he can't move away the real estate directly under his name, such as houses, shops, and office buildings.

So after feigning death and going underground, Renye Karasuma completely gave up all the real estate under her name.

Over the past 40 years, these houses, shops, and office buildings have changed hands and owners many times.

Although the query history can still be found on Karasuma Renye's head.

But these real properties have long since had nothing to do with the Karasuma family and the organization.

So even though the Twilight House stated on the invitation letter is the ancestral home of the Karasuma family, the invitation this time probably has nothing to do with the organization.

"Go back and ask Belmode."

"She should know better."

Lin Xin thought so in his heart, so he put away his mobile phone and returned to Mao Lilan and others.

"How is it, Mr. Lin?"
