Sunset Manor

The Sunset Manor (黄昏の館 Tasogare no yakata?) is a huge western-style manor house in the isolated mountains of Matsumoto, a Nagano Prefecture's rural area at 2 kilometers from Okuno Dam.[1] It once belonged to the multi-millionaire Renya Karasuma, who inherited it from his mother. It was brought two years ago by Shukuzen Ogami, who search for the treasure putting into massive debt until Furuyo Senma killed him. Sunset being when the sky shines gold as the sun goes down, it is literally a "Golden Manor", made of gold and painted black. According to Kogoro, it looks more like Dracula's Castle, and up close even more like a haunted house.

Plot overview

The world's greatest detectives were invited to the Sunset Manor. The host told them that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma and that there is a treasure hidden inside.[2] That name triggers the guests attention, since he had tremendous influence throughout Japan. Conan solved the riddle, peeling off the entire outer walls of the black building and revealing solid gold underneath. Only Karasuma could do something on such a scale, and it must be worth a hundred billion yen. Kaitou Kid had come for Karasuma's treasure disguised as Kogoro, but it was too big for him to carry away and then flees from the area. The victim and the culprit were possessed by Karasuma all along.

Trivia

  • The anime version's biblical painting in the dining room is a replica of The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon, although with an inverted orientation. Since sunset also indicates an idea of glorious sun that goes out, Karasuma is almost like the wise but then corrupt King Solomon.
  • Many anime version's paintings are from movie 2, although with an inverted orientation: in the dining room, the one with cherry in bloom at Mount Takao from episode 52 in the French Restaurant "La Fleur", and the one with a sunset beach girl in Aquacrystal restaurant, but both divided into two; in the piano room, the one with a castle in Kohei Sawaki's apartment. Those with trees foliage and a sunset beach woman in the dining room appeared in the apartment building front entrance from episode 102-103, as correct orientation but respectively with cherry blossom petals and cut out the girl, the one with cherry in bloom in Suzuki ship and the first in Yokosuka Castle, but in white and black, from movie 3. The oil painting with a sunset beach girl also appeared even in a hotel room from Short Story Episode 5. Open spoiler box to see images.
