Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

“Okita lives next door,” Hijikata Kosaburo said with a smile.

"Mr. Okita lives next door," Ran asked.

"Yes, that's why the newspaper reporters wrote it that way," Hijikata Kosaburo said, somewhat annoyed.

Suddenly, in the next room, a person fell to the ground, with their lower body inside the room and their upper body on the balcony.

Hijikata Kosaburo saw this and exclaimed in surprise, "Yumi, what's wrong? Cheer up!"

As he spoke, he was about to jump from one side to the other side of the balcony.

However, Kogoro Mouri and Ran held him back tightly.

Hijikata Kosaburo broke free from the two men, ran back into his room, and then went out to the door next door.

"Okita, come out here! Okita, Okita!" Hijikata Kosaburo shouted angrily.

"Damn it, damn it."

“Mr. Hijikata, how about this, let’s go downstairs to the building manager and get the spare key,” Kogoro Mouri suggested.

"I'm sorry, I was afraid this guy would escape, so I'll wait at the door," Hijikata Kosaburo said with a somber expression.

"In that case, I'll call an ambulance and the police," Xiaolan replied.

"It would be faster to go to the police station next door than to call the police by phone. Please also ask Sato to accompany them. I'm counting on you," Hijikata Kosaburo said solemnly.

Zhiyong remained silent, watching Hijikata Kosaburo put on a show.

"It seems like it's about time," Zhiyong said, trying to stop him.

"Uncle Mori and Ran aren't going."

Kogoro Mouri and Ran turned around to prepare to take the elevator downstairs.

They were all taken aback by Zhiyong's shout, wondering what he meant.

"Zhiyong, saving lives is the priority. We can talk later," Kogoro Mouri replied.

"Why would we save anyone? Miss Yongmei is already dead. Besides, do you even know which floor we're on?" Zhiyong asked.

"What do you mean?" Kogoro Mouri asked, puzzled.

At this moment, Conan calmed down and also sensed that something was wrong.

"What do you mean by this?" Hijikata Kosaburo asked with a somewhat ferocious expression.

“Mr. Hijikata, you don’t need to pretend anymore. You killed your wife, didn’t you?” Zhiyong asked.

"what?"

Kogoro Mouri and Ran both looked at Tomoyuki in surprise.

"How is that possible? Mr. Hijikata was right next to us when Miss Yumi collapsed," Ran said in confusion.

"When I was on the balcony just now, I glanced downstairs. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't have noticed, but I just happened to notice something strange. We're not on the fifth floor now, but on the sixth floor," Zhiyong replied calmly.

"What sixth floor? How could that be? I see, Mr. Hijikata, can you tell me why this is?" Kogoro Mori calmed down and understood, so he asked.

“Actually, your plan is pretty good, although Uncle Maoli will definitely expose it in the end. But that will take some time. It’s just that I accidentally discovered a loophole in your plan, so there’s no use in you trying to deny it anymore. Call the police yourself, and we can let you consider it a confession. You’ll get a lighter sentence then,” Zhiyong said.

This case is very simple. Once one point is revealed, Hijikata Kosaburo will have no choice but to confess.

Now that Zhiyong has exposed the truth, Hijikata Kozaburo no longer tries to deny it.

Hijikata Kosaburo said dejectedly, "I thought that if I could fool you, the famous detective, I could achieve something in the field of detective acting. But I didn't expect that I was too naive. The rumors in the newspapers are all true. Moreover, she extorted a large sum of money from me and wants to elope with that pretty boy. How can I accept that?"

At this moment, Hijikata Kosaburo roared with a ferocious expression.

After Hijikata Kosaburo confessed, he recounted the details of the murder.

His crimes have now been discovered.

Hijikata Kosaburo also hopes to be persuaded to turn himself in.

He then called the police himself.

The case is closed.

Zhiyong was very puzzled. He thought to himself, "Does everyone in society think that Kogoro Mouri is a fraud? Otherwise, why would so many people come to him to ask him to be an alibi?"

……

Chapter 186 Villa Desura

The number of cases at the Mouri Detective Agency has increased significantly as Kogoro Mouri's fame has grown.

However, apart from murder cases, Zhiyong rarely gets involved in other cases nowadays.

Kogoro Mouri can handle most cases on his own.

When faced with difficult cases, Conan's help helps them solve them smoothly.

On this day, Kogoro Mouri borrowed a car from Tomoyuki.

It turns out that Kogoro Mouri received a commission from horror novelist Daisuke Torakura.

Now Kogoro Mouri is going to the Villa Teresura, known as the Vampire Manor, to meet his client, Daisuke Torakura.

However, Villa Dessula is located in the mountains outside Tokyo, which is quite far away from Tokyo.

Zhiyong was very interested in the horror novelist, Daisuke Torakura.

Zhiyong is now preparing to become an artist.

Literature is also within his scope, which is a good opportunity to get in touch with people like that first.

However, Zhiyong saw that Conan would also be going along.

Zhiyong knew that something bad was going to happen again.

I just don't know who will die.

If it were Torachou Daisuke, that would be the best.

In this way, Zhiyong can absorb Torakura Daisuke's ability to write novels.

It's just this Villa Dessula.

Zhiyong felt like he had met someone familiar.

It's unclear whether this is a case from the Conan storyline or simply because of the name Teresa.

Unfortunately, Zhiyong's memories of the cases in Detective Conan from his previous life were too vague.

I still have some plot points mixed up.

In some cases, he only remembers a little bit of the plot when he is actually in the midst of the case.

Zhiyong couldn't recall anything related to the plot along the way. It seems he'll have to wait until they reach the villa to see if he remembers anything.

Villa Dessula is located in the mountains.

Once you enter the mountain road, one side is a cliff overlooking the sea.

Driving on such a road, Zhiyong felt unsafe.

Like Kogoro Mouri, Zhiyong suffers from acrophobia.

However, Chi-Yong's fear of heights was actually more severe than Kogoro Mouri's.

However, with the improvement of Zhiyong's abilities, things are much better now.

That's why.

Zhiyong can turn invisible and create illusions, but he has never thought of getting a hang glider like Kid.

In terms of intelligence and courage, his advantage is far greater than that of Kidd.

If you add a hang glider, it would be absolutely invincible.

However, Zhiyong's fear of heights made it impossible for him to use this method.

On the way to Villa Dessula.

Ran found the name "Villa Teresura" very strange, so she asked Kogoro Mouri about it.

Before coming, Kogoro Mouri had already memorized the relevant information about Daisuke Torakura.

Now that Ran has asked, Kogoro Mouri is explaining.

"Most of the horror novels published by Mr. Torakura feature vampires as the main characters. That's why people call him Mr. Desura."

"That's why the villa he lives in is called Villa Descholar," Conan added.

"Are Mr. Torakura's novels very famous?" Xiaolan asked doubtfully.

"That's right, Mr. Torakura is one of the most popular authors in the horror novel world of Japan. However, he has now started writing some heroic fantasy novels. As a result, his female readership has increased significantly."

"Dad, you know so much!" Xiaolan said with a hint of admiration.

Zhiyong sat in the passenger seat and smiled.

Kogoro Mouri is not good at reasoning.

However, as a detective, he still possessed basic professional qualities.

They must have investigated the client before coming.

After all, Daisuke Torakura is a celebrity.

Relatively speaking, some personal information is easier to investigate.

"Need I say more? I'm the famous detective Kogoro Mouri," Kogoro Mouri said with a hint of pride.

Unfortunately, Conan, that brat, just can't stand seeing others do well.

Conan felt a little annoyed when he saw Kogoro Mouri's smug look.

He happened to see it; there was a special report about Daisuke Torakura at his feet.

Conan picked it up and showed it to Ran.

Ran initially admired Kogoro Mouri somewhat after hearing his introduction.

I saw the magazine in Conan's hand.
