Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Zhiyong booked a luxury suite with two bedrooms.

Haibara Mi and Ai share a room, while Tomoyuki has his own room.

The three of them settled all the items.

Zhiyong took another shower.

The reinforcement process is currently underway.

Several hours have passed.

Some more impurities were expelled from Zhiyong's body.

Fortunately, the space was able to isolate the air around Zhiyong.

Therefore, only he himself can smell the scent on Zhiyong's body now.

Otherwise, Zhiyong would probably have become a notorious figure.

While Zhiyong was taking a shower.

The two bags that were just left outside room 219 of the hotel have been taken into the room.

Some time passed.

One of them came out of the room.

He was wearing a black overcoat, a black top hat, and a white rubber mask over his face.

He was carrying the two bags that he had just placed at the door.

The person came to the front desk.

The passengers have now checked in.

Therefore, apart from the hotel staff, there were no other people at the front desk.

The hotel manager, who was working at the front desk, saw the visitor and said, "Mr. Tozune, what can I do for you?"

Without saying a word, Tsuzune simply tossed the hotel room key to the front desk.

Are you checking out?

Tsuzune didn't say anything, he just nodded.

“But Mr. Tozune, the train that came today has already left the Corpse Plains. The next train won’t arrive for another two days. This place is surrounded by swamps and wetlands. The only road leading to the nearby city collapsed due to last month’s heavy rains. It’s already dark now, so you have nowhere to go if you leave.”

Tsuzune remained silent.

However, he waved his hand impatiently.

The manager saw that the other party was determined to leave.

Therefore, they did not try to persuade him further and processed the check-out for Tsuzune.

After checking out, Tsuzune left the hotel and quickly disappeared into the fog.

The manager watched Dojine's retreating figure and felt a little strange inside.

However, this was the guest's own wish, and he couldn't stop him.

Zhiyong had taken a shower and changed his clothes.

The three of them went out to eat.

Just as they opened the door.

"what!"

A man's scream came from the hallway.

Zhiyong walked outside and saw a waiter sitting on the floor in front of room 219.

The scream just now was also made by him.

Zhiyong noticed that the two bags at the door were gone, which meant that Gao Yuanyao had probably taken the body out and placed it inside the room.

Now, when the waiter enters the room to clean it, he finds a corpse inside.

Zhiyong turned around and said, "You two wait in the room first. It seems something has happened. I'll go check it out and be right back."

“Okay, be careful too,” Haibara Mi replied.

As soon as Zhiyong closed the door, he saw several people running over.

The one leading the group was the officer with the sword, followed by Takagi, Kindaichi, and several others.

They were heading to room 219.

Zhiyong followed behind them.

Upon arriving at the door of room 219, Zhiyong looked inside.

By the light in the hallway.

The corpse of Yamagami Fumio, the leader of the Fantasy Magic Troupe, was hanging in the air, twisted with threads.

Like a puppet.

Although in the past.

Zhiyong had already used the map function to see the body parts of the Mountain God Commander inside the bag.

But the current design is somewhat terrifying.

"It's the Mountain God Commander!"

Kenmochi and Takagi both entered the room.

Zhiyong stood at the door, using the map function to look at the corpse of the Mountain God Commander.

The mountain god's leader's body was cut into three parts by a sharp blade: the head, the torso, and the legs.

Earlier on the train, Zhiyong had only seen the head of the Mountain God Commander, which made him feel strange.

Dismembering a body on a train is no easy task.

However, the Hell Puppet Master succeeded without being discovered by anyone else.

At this moment, the screams from the waiter attracted the attention of some people.

Many more people gathered there.

They were all quite surprised when they saw what was in the room.

"Is the Mountain God Commander really dead?"

"Is there no performance tonight?"

"Who is so cruel as to kill the Mountain God Commander?"

"This is terrifying, I want to leave here."

"But now the train has already left, and the next train won't arrive for another two days."

Members of the Fantasy Magic Troupe also came.

Upon seeing the corpse of the Mountain God Commander in the room, they were all surprised and began to discuss it amongst themselves.

When the wife of the Mountain God leader learned that his body had been discovered, she also rushed over.

However, Takagi stopped them at the door.

"Madam, we cannot enter yet, lest we disturb the scene. You can visit the Mountain God after we have completed our investigation."

"Why did my husband have to go through such a thing?" Mountain Goddess Yamagami Yu Hai cried.

"Ms. Yumi, please accept my condolences," a member of the Fantasy Magic Troupe said.

Inside the room, after examining the body, Officer Kenchi said, "Because there is no forensic doctor, the specific cause and time of death are still unknown. However, based on the characteristics of the body, the Mountain God Captain's approximate time of death was between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM."

“We were all on the train at that time,” a girl said.

This girl is Nanase Miyuki, Kindaichi's childhood friend.

"So, the Mountain God Commander we met on the train was indeed killed," Officer Kenchi added.

……

Chapter 226 The Magic Show Proceeds on Schedule

Upon entering the room, Kindaichi stared intently at the corpse of the Mountain God Commander, observing it closely.

After listening to what the two had to say.

Kindaichi also said, "What we saw on the train was indeed the corpse of the Mountain God Commander."

"It's just very strange, isn't it? Why does the Mountain God Commander's current appearance resemble that of a twisted doll?" Officer Kenchi asked in confusion.

Kindaichi lowered his head in thought and didn't say anything more.

Superintendent Akechi, Officer Kenmochi, and Officer Takagi—there are three police officers in the hotel now.

Therefore, while maintaining order at the scene, an investigation was also launched.

The first person to be questioned was the hotel manager, Nagasaki Takushiro.

"Room 219, the previous guest was named Tozune, right?" Officer Kenmochi asked.

“Yes, Mr. Tsuzune is a guest who arrived here by train two days ago,” the Nagasaki manager replied.

"What does he look like?" the police officer asked.

The Nagasaki manager shook his head and said, "Because he was wearing a white rubber mask, I don't know what he looks like."

"What did he do these past two days, and what time did he leave the hotel?" Officer Kenmochi asked again.

“Mr. Tozane has not left the room since he entered it, because he has instructed us not to clean the room in the past two days.”

The Nagasaki manager paused for a moment, then continued, "Just a short while ago, he checked out at the front desk."

At this moment, Kindaichi listened to what the Nagasaki manager said while flipping through the hotel's registration book.

He was stunned when he saw the complete life of Tozune.

"Miluo Tsutsune, isn't that name a homophone for 'puppet'?"
