Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Jiang Yuan Shi'an took a sip of his drink and snorted coldly, "Aren't you annoying?"

"Hahaha, catching someone off guard makes it easier to reveal your true identity. That's human nature, isn't it, Jingjiang?" a hoarse voice said.

Zhiyong looked over and saw an old man and a servant approaching.

"Mr. Genichiro Kinjo from room 2001, it took you 6.29 seconds to answer my question," Shiro Konno said to the old man, glancing at the computer again.

"Haha, as you can see, my eyesight isn't very good. Of course, I wasn't quick to react when you suddenly asked me this question," Genichiro Kinjo replied easily.

"Never mind, after comparing it with your information, I understand it now."

Konno Shiro said dismissively, but his hands didn't stop; he was typing data into the computer.

“But that data is incomplete at all, because it’s missing crucial information about someone. That’s right, Duke of Darkness.”

A beautiful woman walked over from the side.

"You are Ms. Hideko Kamijo, who lives in room 2101. I don't know what you mean by this?" Shiro Konno asked, somewhat surprised.

Hideko Kamijou pressed her watch and chuckled, "Mr. Konno, you should note that you are 0.97 seconds slower than my 1.48 seconds."

Chapter 149 The Duke of Dark Night

When Kogoro Mouri saw Hideko Kamijou, his eyes lit up.

However, he still knew nothing about what they were talking about, which only made him more confused.

Kogoro Mouri asked curiously, "What is this duke you were talking about earlier?"

Hideko Kamijou exclaimed in surprise, "You didn't know?"

Kogoro Mouri asked, puzzled, "What should I know?"

Ran smiled and said, "Isn't it something that often appears in Shinichi's father's novels?"

"The Dark Night Duke is a character created by Yusaku Kudo. He wears a terrifying mask and a black suit, and often commits crimes at night. He is a highly skilled and elusive thief, but sometimes he also kills people," Zhiyong replied.

"Isn't this just like Kid? I don't read those boring novels anyway," Kogoro Mouri muttered.

Conan thought to himself, "That sounds nice, but you spend all your time gambling on horse races and drinking. When do you have time to read?"

Kogoro Mouri looked at everyone and felt a little embarrassed.

He pretended to pat his head and said, "Never mind, you guys chat, I'm going back to my room first."

Not long after Kogoro Mouri left.

Jiang Yuanshi stood up, swayed, and walked behind Xiaolan, reaching out his right hand to touch Xiaolan's buttocks.

He completely ignored Zhiyong and Conan who were with Ran.

Two little devils, what's there to worry about?

Zhiyong was very displeased when he saw this.

"Damn it, this is intolerable! I haven't even touched it, how could I let anyone else touch it?"

Zhiyong quickly stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Yuanshi's right hand, saying, "If you don't know where to put your hand, I can teach you."

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Let go!" Jiang Yuan Shi'nan cried out in pain, his teeth clenched.

"roll."

With a light flick of his wrist, Zhiyong tossed Jiangyuan Shinan to the ground not far away.

"Sato, thank you," Ran said, noticing this as well.

"You are welcome."

"Impressive skills."

Then another man walked over and said.

"You wouldn't happen to be Mr. Satoshi Maeda, would you?" Ran exclaimed excitedly.

"Sister Xiaolan, do you know this gentleman?"

Seeing Ran so excited, Conan felt a little jealous.

"He was the Japanese karate champion six years ago. I started learning karate because I admire him," Ran replied earnestly.

Ran then said to Maeda Satoshi, "My name is Ran Mouri, and I admire you very much. A while ago, I won the championship at the city's karate tournament. I never expected to meet you here; I'm so lucky."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuanshi's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly got up and left.

"Who is this woman?"

A young woman walked up to Maeda Satoshi and asked.

"Akiko."

Maeda Satoshi stopped the woman and said to Ran, "Let me introduce you. This is my fiancée, Sayama Akiko."

Although Zhiyong already knew that something would definitely happen with Conan on this trip.

He just couldn't remember what case it was.

Just now, when they mentioned the Duke of Darkness...

Zhiyong felt like he vaguely remembered it.

However, I haven't thought of any specific cases yet.

After listening to everyone's introduction.

Through conversations with many people, Zhiyong gained some impressions and gradually recalled the case.

Zhi Yong was somewhat moved by this case.

To avenge his brother, he willingly succumbed to a sea of ​​suffering.

Remember this time, the one who died was that Jiang Yuan Shi'nan from just now.

Just now, Egawa Tokio actually reached out his evil hand to Ran. Well then, let him die.

This is also an opportunity for Zhiyong.

Although Tokio Egawa is a morally questionable person, he is an excellent computer programmer and secretly a hacker.

Zhiyong's company mainly deals in products related to network communication.

Previously, Zhiyong had acquired some computer knowledge, but it was still too superficial.

If Ehara Tokio's computer knowledge was extracted after his death, it would greatly benefit Tomoyu in this area.

Of course, this relates to the company's positioning.

Zhiyong didn't care how much money it would bring him.

If Zhiyong needs money, he can go and unlock a treasure.

Either one would be enough for him to use for a long time.

Zhiyong is so dedicated to the company.

The main purpose was to build his network and improve his social status.

Just like Hakuba Saguru and Hattori Heiji, it was because of their fathers' power.

Therefore, they can do whatever they want in many situations.

Shinichi Kudo's detective career also started smoothly because of his father.

Despite their own excellence.

After all, if they are just a lump of mud, they are useless.

However, without inherent advantages, the police would not give them special treatment.

If they cannot access the useful information and lack the relevant data, even if they possess divine reasoning abilities, they are helpless.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu's abilities are not much worse than Shinichi Kudo's, but in order to avenge her friend, she has no choice but to kill him herself.

Although she had extreme ideas, how could they not also reflect her helplessness?

If the Koshimizu Nanatsuki family has connections with Shinichi Kudo, or the power of the Hakuba Saguru and Hattori Heiji families.

So, if she wants to avenge her friend, that's a simple matter.

And then there's Akiko Sayama this time; in order to get revenge, she had no choice but to step forward and kill Tokio Ehara.

While laws regulate world order, they are also often used as playthings by the powerful and wealthy.

Besides these issues.

If Zhiyong wants to improve his abilities, he needs to explore a wider range of fields.

If Zhiyong were just an ordinary person, there would be some special items that he would have no way of accessing.

Of course, one can also be as intelligent and courageous as Kidd.

However, some collectors do not openly display their collections.

If you don't even know where the item is, there's no way to steal it.

Zhiyong is thinking about a problem.

Then Hideko Kamijou said, "The information the organizer gave you was that you should have two PhDs and a little girl in elementary school. You don't look like that at all, and besides, you have an extra person."

"They couldn't come because of something, so we came instead. Zhiyong came at his own expense and isn't part of our group. The man who was here just now is my father. He's not a PhD; he's a detective," Xiaolan said shyly.

When Xiaolan revealed that her father was a detective, the group was quite surprised.

"A detective?" Hideko Kamijou asked in surprise.

“That’s right, my father’s name is Kogoro Mouri,” Ran said.

"Moori Kogoro?"

"I saw it on the news..."

"I heard he's a famous detective."

"That's really despicable. They don't come themselves but instead send a detective to investigate."
