Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

He now understands many things, but he still doesn't know Sawaki Kohei's motives.

Of course, Zhiyong wouldn't tell him the answer.

Finally, Inspector Megure decided that they would go to see Katsuyoshi Asahi as Sawaki's bodyguards.

Ze Muping did not object to this; in fact, he had hoped that these people would come along so that he could make his move.

He just didn't expect that with Kogoro Mouri, that plague god, and Conan, that grim reaper, how could he possibly come out unscathed?

We arrived at the Ocean Entertainment Center owned by Asahi Katsuyoshi.

The group was shocked.

"This is crystal..."

"What a magnificent building..."

"That's truly astonishing..."

……

Chapter 168 The Beautiful Underwater Restaurant

Just as the group was praising it.

Hearing the sound of a car behind them, they turned around and saw a red car speeding straight towards them.

Everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly hid.

The car performed a beautiful drift, followed by a 180-degree spin, and came to a stop in the parking space.

This woman's driving skills are really good.

A beautiful woman got off the bus. She was really tall; that's quite a sight in an island nation.

In this life, Zhiyong is currently 1.73 meters tall.

But even without wearing high heels, she is about the same height as Zhiyong.

Fortunately, Zhiyong is still in his developmental stage and with the enhancement of space, his final height will definitely not be too short.

While Zhiyong was lost in thought.

The beautiful woman got out of the car, looked at the car's location, and said with satisfaction, "It's a little out of bounds, but it's still not bad."

Kogoro Mouri pointed at the newcomer in exasperation and said, "Miss, do you know how dangerous this is? What if something happens?"

"What?" the pretty girl asked, feigning cuteness.

At that moment, three more cars drove up.

Fortunately, this time, none of the three cars were going fast, and they came to a steady stop. A man got out of each car.

One of the men said to the beautiful woman, "Nai Nai, you're here too."

The beautiful woman said happily, "Mr. Shishido, you've also been invited by Mr. Asahi this time."

Inspector Megure didn't recognize any of the people who had suddenly arrived.

Inspector Megure then asked the beautiful woman who had arrived first, "Excuse me, miss, who are you?"

The beautiful woman asked incredulously, "Uncle, you don't recognize me?"

Officer Shiratori stepped forward and introduced them: "Officer, this is Ms. Nana Koyama, a currently popular model. The three who just arrived, from left to right, are: writer Minoru Nishina, photographer Eimei Shishido..."

“I am Peter Ford. The two over there are police officers, and this gentleman over here is the famous detective Kogoro Mouri.”

Ford, as expected of a TV host, knows a lot of people and is very good at seizing opportunities.

"Are you that famous detective?" Nana Koyama asked Kogoro Mouri.

Kogoro Mouri didn't speak, he just coughed lightly.

Nana Koyama excitedly grabbed his arm and made an intimate gesture with him, then said to Eimei Shishido, "Wow, this is the first time I've ever met the famous detective in person, Mr. Shishido, please take a picture of us."

Kogoro Mouri didn't object and struck a cool pose. He had been so angry just now, but after being flirted with by the beautiful woman, he forgot everything.

Fortunately, Eri Kisaki isn't here now, and she hasn't seen him in his current state. Otherwise, the two of them might never get back together.

Without saying a word, Shishido Eiaki simply picked up the camera and took a picture of the two of them.

Officer Shiratori then introduced everyone to each other.

The people who had just arrived all said that Xu Shengyi had arranged to meet them at three o'clock.

Seeing that it was almost time, we took the cable car to the ground floor of the restaurant and then took the elevator to the underwater restaurant.

The restaurant's ambiance is impeccable; dining here is a true pleasure. Moreover, outside the window, you can see schools of fish swimming around.

Unfortunately, Zhiyong is not able to come up with too much money right now.

Otherwise, Zhiyong would just buy the restaurant, since Mr. Xu is already dead anyway.

"Wow, that's a Ferrari F40! That's so cool. I wonder how they got this car in here."

A Ferrari F40 was placed in the center of the hall.

Nana Koyama was incredibly excited when she saw it, and she looked around at the red Ferrari F40 from all angles.

"I don't seem to see Mr. Asahi?" Sawaki Kohei asked curiously.

"Could it be that he has already been..." Officer Shiratori stopped mid-sentence.

Shishido Nagato is clearly very sensitive.

When he saw Inspector Megure, Inspector Shiratori, and Detective Kogoro Mouri all together there, he sensed that something had happened.

Shishido Eimei asked, "Has something happened?"

Inspector Megure said loudly, "Something has indeed happened, and we need to let everyone know about it."

Kogoro Mouri, Officer Shiratori, and Tomoyuki went together to check the surrounding area.

Inspector Megure then gathered everyone together and explained the situation to them.

Zhiyong was afraid of any unexpected events, so he wanted to take the initiative.

He first walked around the restaurant.

Zhiyong had already spotted Xu Shengyi and the bombs in the water.

This Sawaki Kohei is really resourceful; he even managed to get bombs in.

"So, it was this Murakami Takeshi who orchestrated the series of attacks to get revenge on Mr. Mori," Nana Koyama asked, clearly dissatisfied.

"If that's the case, then I'm number six? My name has the character 'six' in it." Shishido Eimei was completely unconcerned about the matter.

"Of those who haven't been attacked, there are nine to one. The only one here whose name is 'one' is missing; everyone else has been attacked."

Zhiyong paused for a moment, then continued, "Mr. Asahi is nine, Mr. Sawaki is eight, Nana's pronunciation is seven, Mr. Shishido is six, Uncle Mori is five, Mr. Ford's name sounds like the English number four. Officer Shiratori is three. Mr. Nishina is two. One should be Shinichi Kudo, but he didn't come."

"So, we're implicated because of Mr. Mori," Nana Koyama said, even more dissatisfied.

“Based on the clues, we initially suspected that the culprit was Murakami Takeshi, but we have since come up with a new deduction,” Zhiyong explained.

"What new idea?" Shishido Eimei asked, somewhat puzzled.

“If it’s about taking revenge on Uncle Mori, then Mr. Asahi and Uncle Mori have only met once, Miss Nana and Uncle Mori don’t know each other at all, and neither do Mr. Shishido and Mr. Nishina. Only Mr. Ford knows Uncle Mori, but he has never had any contact with him. So, the idea of ​​taking revenge on Uncle Mori doesn’t make sense,” Zhiyong analyzed.

“Is that so? I haven’t really had any contact with Mr. Mori. If my name contains the number six, then there are plenty of people whose names contain the number six.” Shishido Eiaki nodded in agreement.

"We analyzed the killer and learned that I had a grudge against Murakami Takeshi. We also discovered that the people we were supposed to kill happened to include these numbers, so we devised this plan," Kogoro Mouri said solemnly.

Zhiyong observed the expressions on everyone's faces.

The expressions on the faces of the others changed upon hearing this.

Only Sawaki Kohei seemed to be listening to the story the whole time, without any reaction whatsoever.

"Then, if it's not Murakami Takeshi, who could this prisoner be?" Mr. Ford asked.

“This person is among Mr. Sawaki, Ms. Nana, Mr. Shishido, Mr. Ford, and Mr. Nishina. You are all here,” Zhiyong said softly.

"Among us?" Shishido Eimei asked, puzzled.

"The reason I say it's among the few of you sitting here is because this prisoner also wants one or more of you dead. Moreover, this person also knows Mr. Asahi, my uncle Mr. Mori, and Mr. Hiroki, who was attacked before," Zhiyong replied.

……

Chapter 169 You're the Prisoner

"Why isn't Mr. Xu here?"

“I won’t mention Mr. Xu, because I already discovered that Mr. Xu is dead.”

"Mr. Asahi is dead?" Inspector Megure was also taken aback.

"Where is his body?" Kogoro Mouri asked, puzzled.

Zhiyong pointed out the window and said, "It was among those fish. I just saw it, but it's floating there now, so I don't know where it is."

Everyone looked outside for a long time, but they did not find Xu Shengyi's body.

“According to what you’ve said, it definitely can’t be me. Although I know Mr. Asahi, I’ve only heard of Mr. Mori and Mr. Hiroki; we’ve never met them,” Minoru Nishina said.

“Actually, after our analysis, among all of you, Mr. Zemu is the most likely to be the culprit,” Zhiyong said with a smile.

"Me? How could that be?" Ze Mu Gongping said innocently.

"The main problem is that you were too clever for your own good. You chose Twelve, Eri Kisaki. You poisoned her favorite chocolate, and the timing was perfect. It just so happened that Uncle and she had a conflict. She thought the box of poisoned chocolates you gave her was a gift from Uncle to apologize, so she didn't think much of it at all."

Zhiyong chuckled and said, "Under any other circumstances, she definitely wouldn't have fallen for it. It was this time that made us change our minds, even though we initially suspected that the culprit was Murakami Takeshi."

"why?"

“Because Murakami has just been released on parole, even if he had the greatest ability, it would be impossible for him to gather all thirteen people so quickly. Besides, Aunt Fei likes to eat that kind of chocolate, which is a very private matter that Murakami would not possibly know,” Zhiyong replied.

"Then why suspect me? Couldn't it be someone else?" Ze Mu Gongping asked curiously.

"Because only you and Mr. Hiroki knew about the conflict between Uncle Mori and Aunt Kisaki that day. And at that time, Uncle Mori also mentioned that Aunt Kisaki liked to eat Chicory chocolate," Conan added.

"Also, Murakami Takeshi is left-handed, but when you attacked Professor Agasa, you used your right hand. Isn't that strange?" Zhiyong said with a smile.

"Hehe, I see. But do you have any evidence? If you say I did these things without evidence, it won't do any good even in court," Ze Muping said calmly.
