Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Zhiyong knew that she hadn't resolved the issue in her heart, so he didn't bring it up again.

They delivered Matsumoto Sayuri to their home.

This is just where she rents a place; she didn't live at home before, but rented an apartment near the school.

She was already married.

She was about to cancel her lease on the apartment when an unexpected incident occurred. To make matters worse, the groom committed suicide.

After putting her things away, Matsumoto Sayuri sat lazily on the sofa, lost in thought.

Seeing her silence, Zhiyong did not disturb her.

It's almost lunchtime now, and Matsumoto Sayuri hasn't been back for several days. There's nothing to eat in the refrigerator.

Therefore, Zhiyong went to a nearby supermarket and bought some materials.

With his current culinary skills, Zhiyong easily made several delicious dishes.

Matsumoto Sayuri was still sitting on the sofa in a daze, tears still glistening in the corners of her eyes.

Zhiyong came to her side and said, "Dinner's ready. I've made a few dishes. Try my cooking."

Matsumoto Sayuri then came to her senses and nodded at Tomoyuki.

She wasn't in a good mood, so the atmosphere during the meal was a bit tense.

Zhiyong tried to make her laugh by telling a few jokes, but he was unsuccessful.

"Your cooking is delicious."

After finishing her meal, Matsumoto Sayuri finally spoke.

"If you want to eat it, I can make it for you anytime."

"Thank you so much for being by my side during this time."

"Don't thank me. Whatever I do for you, I will do it willingly."

Matsumoto Sayuri fell silent again after hearing this, sat down on the sofa, and stared blankly while hugging the backrest.

Zhiyong sat down next to her and said, "The dead cannot be brought back to life. The dead are gone. We who are alive must live well so that the dead can rest in peace in heaven."

While in the hospital, Matsumoto Sayuri felt a little better.

However, once she returned home and calmed down, Matsumoto Sayuri was reminded of the past.

Matsumoto Sayuri suddenly hugged Tomoyuki and burst into tears.

This left Zhiyong somewhat helpless, unsure of what to do next.

We're all adults here, and we understand many principles. It's not something that can calm us down with just a few words from someone else.

Zhiyong didn't say anything, but simply hugged her and gently patted her back.

Matsumoto Sayuri cried for a long time before she finally stopped.

She raised her head and looked at Zhiyong with teary eyes.

That pitiful look of hers moved even Zhiyong.

Suddenly, Matsumoto Sayuri hugged Zhiyong's head and pressed her red lips to his.

Her actions were a bit crazy.

Zhiyong had some feelings for Matsumoto Sayuri.

However, Zhiyong stared at Matsumoto Sayuri, not expecting it to turn out this way.

Seeing that Zhiyong didn't react, Matsumoto Sayuri said, "Don't overthink it. I'm yours today, so don't feel any burden. I'll live a good life from now on, so you can have this easy time."

Zhiyong stopped thinking about it.

Matsumoto Sayuri was venting her frustrations, so her movements were quite wild.

They disregarded their health and recklessly demanded more.

One night passed.

To Zhiyong's great surprise, this was Matsumoto Sayuri's first time.

It turns out that Sayuri Matsumoto had been searching for her first love all along.

Therefore, I have never had a boyfriend.

Later, when she met Toshihiko Takasugi, she felt a sense of familiarity.

After investigation, it was discovered that Takasugi Toshihiko was indeed her first love.

This made Matsumoto Sayuri very happy, but Takasugi Toshihiko's true identity made her very conflicted.

Matsumoto Sayuri never knew how to reconcile the relationship between Takasugi Toshihiko and her father.

That's why she and Toshihiko Takasugi didn't engage in any overtly intimate behavior while they were together.

Unexpectedly, it ended up benefiting Zhiyong.

Zhi Yong also noticed that the true energy of the Xuan Yuan Technique had improved again.

It truly is a double celebration!

Although Matsumoto Sayuri had a relationship with Tomoyu this time, Tomoyu understood the situation.

At present, Sayuri Matsumoto has some affection for Tomoyuki, but not much love for him.

However, now that he has taken this step, Zhiyong believes things will gradually get better.

"I've given up on marriage and don't want to talk about it anymore. I'll live a good life from now on. I won't bother you. If you have time, just come and keep me company."

While eating breakfast, Matsumoto Sayuri calmly said to Tomoyuki.

"You don't have to be like this. I will treat you well, and I will never leave you or let you leave me."

"Is that so? Then let's wait and see." Matsumoto Sayuri smiled slightly.

Zhiyong walked to her side and gently hugged her.

He whispered in Matsumoto Sayuri's ear, "Don't think too much about the past. Let's keep the good things in our hearts."

Zhiyong looked at Xiaobaihe and said, "From now on, I will always be by your side."

Matsumoto Sayuri didn't say anything, but she hugged Zhiyong tightly and rested her head in his arms.

Zhiyong was very happy that he had developed a closer relationship with Matsumoto Sayuri.

Chapter 162 Poisonous Chocolate

Today, Kogoro Mouri and Professor Agasa are taking Ran and the Detective Boys on a trip to the countryside.

Zhiyong had originally planned to go along as well.

However, there are some things at the company that I need to discuss with Eri Kisaki.

Therefore, Zhiyong arrived at the agency very early in the morning.

Zhiyong hoped to finish things quickly so he could go find Xiaolan and the others.

There's still some time before work starts, and only the secretary, Midori Kuriyama, is at the Fei Law Firm.

Zhiyong waited for Fei Yingli to arrive in his office.

Xiaolan made the call at this time.

After answering the phone with wisdom and courage.

Xiao Lan said, "Zhiyong, we're not going on the picnic today."

"Uncle Mori has a request?"

"No, Inspector Megure was attacked with a crossbow this morning while he was exercising. He was injured in the abdomen and hospitalized. We are going to visit him now."

"What? Which hospital? I'll be there in a bit." Zhiyong was a little surprised.

“At number 622, Green Terrace Police Hospital,” Xiao Lan replied.

"Okay, I'll go to the hospital after I've finished my business."

After hanging up the phone.

Zhiyong began to think.

Inspector Megure was attacked. I vaguely remember Tomoyuki, but it's all a bit hazy.

Just as Zhiyong was thinking back, Eri Kisaki walked in.

Eri Kisaki smiled and said, "Chi-Yong arrived very early."

Zhiyong snapped out of his daze and replied, "Uncle Maoli was originally going to take everyone on a picnic, so I wanted to finish my business as soon as possible."

"Alright, I'll get straight to the point. You can think about the specifics first," Eri said with a smile.

At that moment, Secretary Kuriyama Midori walked in, handed a document to Eri Kisaki, and said, "Teacher, this is today's schedule, and I also saw this in the mailbox below."

As he spoke, he put down another box of Gicopa chocolates.

“Gicoba chocolate!” Eri exclaimed happily.

"Teacher, this is your favorite Swiss chocolate, but there's no name on it for mailing," Midori Kuriyama said, a little puzzled.

As Eri unpacked the package, she smiled and said, "It's alright, I already know who sent it."

Zhiyong walked over and said, "What's wrong? Did I make you angry again last night during dinner?"

Last night, Ran arranged for Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki to have dinner, hoping that the two could reconcile soon.

Zhiyong had eaten with the two of them a few times, and each time the atmosphere became very tense.

This is a family meal; Zhiyong isn't a child like Conan.

It would be very inappropriate for Zhiyong to go.

Therefore, Zhiyong simply made a reservation for them at the French restaurant.

It's truly a pity that Xiaolan had put in so much effort.

However, it seems that their meeting last night did not go very well.
