Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Yumi Horikoshi is due to her age.

Zhiyong had no choice but to take her out.

The relationship between Nana Koyama and Tomoyuki can only be described as YiYeQing.

Zhiyong's inexplicable relationship with her stemmed from his need to cultivate the Xuan Yuan Technique.

For various reasons, this auction...

Zhiyong came to the auction alone, without any other people with him.

The people attending this auction held by Yitian were all people of high status and position.

The auction was divided into two areas.

One is the main area of the auction, used for the auction, and the other is the rest area.

On the tables in the rest area, there are various kinds of tea, snacks, fruits, etc.

To Zhiyong's great surprise, he actually met Suzuki Ayako.

Ayako Suzuki was quite at ease when she met Tomoyuki.

This also disappointed Zhiyong a bit.

If Ayako Suzuki's expression showed suspicion.

This at least shows that Ayako Suzuki still remembers what happened that day.

"Ayako-neechan, it's been so long! I never expected to run into you here."

"It's you. It's been a while since we last met. I heard that you and Sonoko started an entertainment company."

Zhiyong said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm sorry to have made Ayako-nee laugh at me, but I had no choice."

"Haha, it seems you've grown up quite a bit," Ayako Suzuki joked.

"Why is Sister Ayako here at this auction today?" Zhiyong asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's nothing, just came out to clear my head," Ayako Suzuki said casually.

At that moment, Zhiyong suddenly remembered.

According to news reports from the day before yesterday, Yuzo Tomizawa was arrested by the police for poisoning his father, Tetsuji Tomizawa.

Some time has passed since the incident involving Yuzo Tomizawa, and the police finally found evidence to arrest him.

Last night, while having dinner at the office.

Zhiyong overheard Xiaolan say that Tomizawa Yuzo and Suzuki Ayako's wedding had also been canceled.

“I’m sorry, Ayako-neechan. It was I who told Inspector Yokomizo to conduct a second autopsy on Tomizawa Tetsuji’s body.”

"Oh! How did you know about Uncle Tomizawa's death, and other questions?"

"That night, as we were leaving the basement, I overheard something that made me suspicious."

"What?"

“I heard Tomizawa Yuzo say, ‘Honey, don’t worry. In a few days, after my father dies, with the help of the Suzuki Group, I will definitely be able to become the head of the Tomizawa Group. At that time, we can do whatever we want.’”

"I see. Tomizawa Yuzo didn't know that Tomizawa Taiichi killed Uncle Tomizawa, but since he said that Uncle Tomizawa would die in a few days, he must have done something. He just didn't expect that he wasn't the only one who wanted to kill Uncle Tomizawa."

"Yes, after Tomizawa Taiichi confessed, and the cause of Tomizawa Tetsuji's death was quite obvious, the police certainly wouldn't conduct a thorough examination of Tomizawa Tetsuji's body. In that case, Tomizawa Yuzo would become the biggest winner."

Ayako Suzuki shook her head and said, "Actually, you don't need to apologize to me. I was a little hesitant about this marriage. As you said, living with triplets would be really strange. But now I don't need to hesitate anymore. Heaven has made the decision for me."

That night, Ayako Suzuki heard Yuzo Tomizawa's phone call, which made her hesitate about this marriage.

For a large family like theirs, having a mistress outside the marriage is not a big deal.

Ayako Suzuki was originally prepared to forgive Yuzo Tomizawa.

But what happened next made Ayako Suzuki make up her mind.

The incident of Tomizawa Yuzo poisoning Tomizawa Tetsuji.

Although this information was not leaked within the police force, the Suzuki family holds a very special position in the island nation.

Therefore, the Suzuki family eventually learned of this matter.

That's why Ayako Suzuki stopped hesitating for the time being.

This incident can be considered a test for Tomizawa Yuzo.

If the police investigation reveals that Tomizawa Yuzo really did poison Tomizawa Tetsuji.

So their wedding was cancelled.

However, if Tomizawa Yuzo did not poison Tomizawa Tetsuji, Suzuki Ayako would agree to proceed with the wedding.

Unfortunately, the police investigation revealed that Tomizawa Yuzo had indeed poisoned his father.

The Suzuki family would never associate themselves with such a person's character.

In the business world, it's not a big deal if the scheming and backstabbing tactics are a bit ruthless.

After all, the business world is like a battlefield; it's either you or me, and no one will show mercy.

But they are capable of harming their own family members.

This kind of person is like a time bomb; you never know when they'll explode, and they might even hurt their own family members.

The Suzuki family is a powerful and wealthy family in Japan, and they would absolutely not allow someone like that to be in their household.

Zhiyong shook his head and said, "I don't feel sorry for you because of what caused you to break off the engagement. You can tell from Tomizawa Yuzo's behavior that he is not a good match. I feel sorry for you because I made you feel bad."

Ayako Suzuki shrugged and said, "What does this have to do with you? Even without you, he and I probably wouldn't have ended up together."

Time passed little by little as Zhiyong and Suzuki Ayako chatted.

People gradually arrived at the auction venue.

There are now more than a hundred people at the scene.

Those who came to participate all came in pairs.

Only Tomoyuki and Ayako Suzuki came alone.

……

Chapter 177 An Unexpected Incident at the Auction

At that moment, a middle-aged man in a suit walked onto the auction stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. I am Nozawa, the auctioneer for this auction. The auction is about to begin. Now I will briefly introduce some details of this auction."

The people in the auction hall, who had been chatting amongst themselves, all headed towards their seats when they heard that the auction was about to begin.

Nozawa paused for a moment, then continued, "The items in this auction are all valuable antiques or jewelry from all over the world. Therefore, each bid is in units of one million."

Zhiyong and Suzuki Ayako were chatting on the balcony just now.

Although neither of them came primarily for the auction.

But since the auction was about to begin, they all returned to the venue.

Nozawa continued, "The first item is in the catalog, numbered first..."

"boom."

Before the auctioneer could finish speaking, the auction hall doors were kicked open, and more than a dozen people walked in.

Everyone was somewhat surprised.

What surprised everyone even more was that these people were all carrying guns.

Before anyone could react.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

"Da da da".

A gunshot rang out at the auction.

"Splash, splash, splash..."

The sound of people falling to the ground was heard one after another; all the security guards at the auction had been shot and were lying on the ground.

The sudden turn of events at the auction brought the venue to an immediate silence.

However, this quiet lasted only a moment.

"ah……."

The woman screamed.

The people at the scene became chaotic, and everyone wanted to run out of the venue.

Zhiyong didn't do anything about it. Instead, he squatted down with Suzuki Ayako in his arms to avoid being accidentally hurt.

At the same time, she whispered in Ayako Suzuki's ear, "Don't be afraid, let's wait and see."

"Bah."

At the gate, a burly man in a gray trench coat fired another shot and shouted.

"Quiet down, everyone! Anyone who makes a sound will be killed on the spot."

The crowd on the field listened to the words of the man in the trench coat.

At this moment, no one dared to make a sound or move around.
