Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

The arrival of the three Grim Reapers did not lead to anything.

The Mori family seems to be enjoying great fortune.

Only at this time.

"Splash."

The sound of breaking glass came from the direction of the villa.

Everyone turned around and saw that the glass of the third-floor window of the villa had been broken.

Most people wouldn't think much of it if they saw that the window glass was broken.

Therefore, since it's glass, it's perfectly normal for it to break.

However, the detectives had different approaches.

In their hearts.

Something must have happened to be in this situation.

Therefore, Kogoro Mouri, Heiji Hattori, and Conan all ran towards the villa.

"Ran-neechan, look at that window," Conan said as he ran.

"Kazuha, go find Uncle Shigematsu," Hattori Heiji called out as he ran.

Zhiyong looked at the window on the third floor, shook his head, and followed the three into the villa.

I initially thought he was just overthinking things.

Although all three possess the attributes of a grim reaper, it's impossible for trouble to occur wherever they go.

It now seems that Zhiyong had far too little faith in the abilities of the three of them.

I did not receive any notification from the space while I was downstairs.

But when they got near the room where the glass was broken...

Zhiyong then received a notification from the space that a new ghost had appeared.

It seems that something really did happen; what was bound to happen has finally come to pass.

The space directly absorbed the ghost.

Zhiyong then realized that the ghost he had collected was none other than the butler Shigematsu, whom he had just met.

Hattori Heiji knocked on the door and asked, "Who's in there? What happened?"

But there was no sound in the room.

When Hattori Heiji tried to open the door, he found it was locked from the inside and he couldn't open it without the key.

It cannot be opened from the outside.

A series of footsteps.

Kogoro Mouri and Kazuha also ran over.

Seeing that Kazuha was alone, Hattori Heiji asked, "Kazuha, where is Uncle Shigematsu?"

“No one has seen Mr. Shigematsu since the meal,” Kazuha replied.

"Can you smell blood?" Zhiyong asked, feigning surprise.

"The smell of blood? I can't smell it," Hattori Heiji said, shaking his head.

“Me too,” Kazuha said, shaking her head.

"I didn't smell it either," Conan replied.

Kogoro Mouri glanced at Tomoyuki but said nothing.

“My sense of taste is very sensitive; I can smell the blood coming from inside the room,” Zhiyong replied.

“The room key is with Uncle Shigematsu, and we can’t find him now, which is a bit of a headache,” Hattori Heiji said.

"In that case, let's just break down the door," Kogoro Mori said, taking a few steps back.

"That's all we can do now, let me do it." After saying that, Zhiyong kicked the door.

Zhiyong's current strength is still not comparable to that of a master like Kyogoku Makoto.

However, his current strength is vastly different from when he first transmigrated here.

Zhi Yong kicked the door open with a bang.

This is a suite, with rooms divided into inner and outer sections.

The outside was pitch black.

The door to the inner room was ajar, and light shone from inside.

By the light from the inner room.

Several people saw that there was a trail of blood from the doorway between the inner and outer rooms all the way into the inner room.

"Bloodstains!" Hattori Heiji exclaimed in surprise.

Although Zhiyong had mentioned before that he smelled blood.

However, Hattori Heiji and the others did not smell it.

Therefore, at that time.

Although Hattori Heiji also sensed that something might have happened, he still didn't believe Tomoyuki's words.

But now we can see bloodstains.

Upon seeing the bloodstains, Hattori Heiji sensed something was wrong.

Therefore, they hurriedly went to the inner room.

When Kogoro Mouri and his friends pushed open the door to the inner room.

Butler Shigematsu was sitting by the table, his white shirt stained red with blood over his chest.

When Kazuha saw the dead body, she let out a shrill scream.

Xiaolan and Heye have really had a tough time.

Both women became fascinated by this clueless, analytical genius, which repeatedly startled them.

Hattori Heiji went forward to check and found that Shigematsu, the butler, was dead.

"Call the police, Uncle Shigematsu is dead."

When Zhiyong took out his mobile phone to call the police.

Kazuha's scream just now also attracted the Morizono family.

"What happened? Who's screaming?" Yurie Morizono asked as she walked in.

However, Yurie Morizono was also taken aback when she saw the situation in the room.

"what's going on."

After Morizono Yurie.

Kikuto Morizono, Tsukasa Sakuraba, Kaede Katagiri, and Mikio Morizono also came to this room.

"Uncle Shigematsu has been murdered," Hattori Heiji replied, standing up.

"what?"

"How could this happen?"

"You're not kidding, are you? You're just messing with us."

Katagiri Kaede saw the corpse in the room, closed her eyes, and fainted.

Fortunately, Kikuto Morizono and Tsukasa Sakuraba were nearby and caught her, preventing her from falling to the ground.

"We've already called the police. Please don't disturb the scene until they arrive," Kogoro Mouri said, stepping forward.

But at this moment.

Heiji Hattori and Conan, however, did not listen to what Kogoro Mouri said.

The two moved in unison.

Check if the room windows are locked.

However, after checking, the two found that the windows were locked from the inside.

Heiji Hattori took out a handkerchief, opened the outer window, and asked down, "Ran, you've been staring at this window. Has anyone gone out from here?"

"I've been keeping an eye out, but I haven't seen anyone," Xiaolan replied from downstairs.

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji went to Shigematsu's side again.

A large bunch of keys was found in Shigematsu's pocket.

"Uncle Shigematsu keeps all the keys to the house, right?" Hattori Heiji asked.

“Yes,” Sakuraba Tsuyu replied.

"Isn't there a spare key for this room?" Conan asked.

“We each have our own room key. These keys to rooms that we don’t use often are kept by Mr. Shigematsu,” Sakuraba Tsuyu added.

“In that case, I need to confirm this,” Hattori Heiji said, taking the bunch of keys and walking towards the door of the room he had just kicked open.

"What do you want to confirm?" Morizono Yurie asked, puzzled.

"If this bunch of keys really contains the key to this door, then this is a locked-room murder case."

"A locked-room murder case?"

"Yes, the door to this room was locked from the inside. We broke it open because we didn't have the key. The inner windows were locked from the inside, and although the outer window was broken, we didn't see anyone leaving. The key is in Uncle Shigematsu's pocket."

"I see."

Several people nodded in agreement.
