Heiji shows up at Detective Mouri’s office looking for the missing Shin’ichi. While there, a case presents itself. Heijii tags along with Mouri to investigate.

毛利(もうり):
「ほーーーーー 立派(りっぱ)屋敷(やしき)ですなーーー…」
“Oh, what a splendid estate.”

Key Points

  1. 屋敷(やしき) = a grand residence or estate

    • Here 屋敷(やしき) refers to a large, impressive private home.

    • It suggests a mansion-like property, not just an ordinary house.

  2. The お is honorific

    • The line says 屋敷(やしき), adding politeness and admiration.
