Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Before I could even react, I was about to fall.

Nagato Mitsuaki usually loves sports.

Therefore, in a subconscious grab, his right hand unexpectedly grabbed Hinata Yuki's watch strap.

This also prevented Nagato Mitsuaki from falling.

Hinata Yuki saw Nagato Mitsuaki grab her watch strap.

If the watch strap breaks, the watch will fall next to Nagato Mitsuaki's body.

The police would definitely suspect her then.

Therefore, Hyuga Yuki took out a pen and stabbed it at Nagato Mitsuaki's right hand.

Zhiyong originally thought that Hyuga Yuki and Nagato Mitsuaki conspired to kill Chairman Nagato and seize the Nagato family's wealth.

It now appears that Zhiyong had misunderstood.

Hyuga Yuki and Nagato Mitsuaki conspired together.

All this was so that he could successfully kill Nagato Mitsuaki and avenge his parents.

After Nagato Hideomi committed suicide.

Hyuga Yuki must have learned from Nagato Hideomi's will that his parents' deaths were caused by Nagato Hideomi and Nagato Mitsuaki.

Therefore, Hinata Yuki came up with this murder plan.

Zhiyong understood something in an instant.

Therefore, I felt some sympathy for Hyuga Yuki.

He saw Hinata Yuki wanting to push Nagato Mitsuaki downstairs.

But Nagato Mitsuaki grabbed at something haphazardly.

They actually managed to grab Hinata Yuki's watch strap.

In order to get rid of Nagato Mitsuaki.

Hinata Sachi took out a fountain pen and used the tip to stab Nagato Hikaru's right hand.

However, if Nagato Mitsuaki was stabbed, then evidence would have been left behind.

Tomohiro felt a little apologetic for misunderstanding Hinata Yuki earlier.

Therefore, they did not want Hinata Yuki to be arrested.

Zhiyong then took out a stick from his spatial storage.

He tapped the pressure point on the inside of Nagato Hikaru's elbow.

Nagato Mitsuaki reacted as if he had been electrocuted, and immediately let go of his hand.

But he was originally suspended in the air.

As soon as I let go, my body fell downwards.

"what."

Nagato Hikaru let out a scream.

With a "poof." sound.

Zhiyong saw Nagato Mitsuaki's body, pierced by the sharp edges of the railing below, with blood flowing downwards.

Seeing that the task was completed.

Zhiyong then collected the ghost, quietly left the balcony, went outside, and reunited with the others.

Throughout this process, Zhiyong remained invisible.

Therefore, Hinata Yuki was unaware of this.

Just now, there were other people with her, who didn't know that Zhiyong had helped her.

Tomohisa wasn't sure if helping Hinata Yuki was the right thing to do or the wrong thing.

Zhiyong's intervention stemmed from his deep sympathy for Hyuga Yuki.

When Zhiyong arrived downstairs.

The door to the room downstairs has just been opened.

Everyone ran into the room.

The situation was chaotic just now, so no one noticed that Zhiyong had disappeared for a while.

Kogoro Mouri and his group entered the room, but they didn't see anyone inside.

"There's no one in the room."

The balcony door was wide open.

"Could it be outside?"

Everyone ran to the balcony.

Zhiyong discovered it at this moment.

The grappling hook that was originally hanging on the third-floor balcony was the same grappling hook that Nagato Mitsuaki had just climbed.

Now it's hanging on the handrail of the second-floor balcony.

Zhiyong guessed that this must be one of Hinata Yuki's plans.

"It seems Mr. Hideomi used this grappling hook to get down there." Kogoro Mouri also noticed the grappling hook on the handrail.

"But what about the people of Light?" Nagato Yasue asked anxiously.

"Look, down there," Zhiyong shouted, pointing to Nagato Mitsuaki's corpse below.

Looking down, everyone could see Nagato Mitsuaki, who was already dead.

"Mr. Koukou?" Kogoro Mouri was taken aback.

After the police were called, Inspector Megure arrived quickly.

Inspector Megure examined Nagato Mitsuaki's injuries and said, "He was pushed down. Is the culprit really Chairman Nagato's son, Hideomi Hideomi?"

“No, the murderer is definitely not Hideomi. There must be some reason behind this,” Hyuga Yuki said.

"Even if there is some reason, you cannot kill my light. Give me back my light," Nagato Yasue said sadly.

“Hideomi could never have done such a thing, and what we saw might not even have been Hideomi,” Hyuga Yuki argued.

“She’s right. The people we see are just people with bandages on their faces,” Hattori Heiji added.

"Bandage?" Inspector Megure didn't understand what that meant.

……

Chapter 239 Is it really Mr. Hideomi?

Kogoro Mouri explained to Inspector Megure, "Mr. Hideomi's face was burned and disfigured, so he usually wears bandages on his face."

Inspector Megure nodded and said, "I see. So that means the person you saw back then could have been Mr. Hideomi, but it's also possible that he was disguised as Mr. Hideomi."

Kogoro Mouri said, "That's right, exactly."

"Let's first confirm your alibis."

“We saw the murderer around 10 p.m., when we were all in Chairman Nagato’s room,” Hattori Heiji replied.

"Who were there at that time?" Inspector Megure asked again.

"Besides President Nagato, the people in the room at the time included me, Ran, Tomoyuki, Conan, Heiji, Ms. Yasuie, Ms. Hinata, and Mr. Musashi," Kogoro Mouri replied.

“You can all corroborate each other’s claims, so there’s no suspicion for now. After reviewing the surveillance footage, we’ll be able to determine whether the culprit is an outsider,” Inspector Megure replied.

"When you got to the room on the second floor, you didn't see anyone. There was a grappling hook on the balcony. It seems the killer escaped from here," Inspector Megure speculated.

“Very likely. When the guards and I circled the house and got here, the rope was still swaying,” Hattori Heiji replied.

"When was the last time you saw Mr. Hideomi before the incident?"

“In the afternoon, Hideomi went to my father’s bedroom, and then he went back to his own room,” Nagato Yasue answered first.

"Didn't you see Mr. Hideomi during dinner?" Inspector Megure asked again.

"Because of the injury on his face, young master Hideomi doesn't like to eat with everyone. Usually, the servants bring his meals to his room, where he eats alone," explained the butler, Musashi.

"Has Mr. Hideomi still not been found?" Inspector Megure asked again.

“We were looking for Master Hideomi before the police arrived, but we couldn’t find him,” the butler, Musashi, replied.

"In that case, there's a high chance that Hideomi is the murderer. The fact that we can't find him now means he's fled to avoid punishment," Kogoro Mouri guessed.

"No, that can't be," Hinata Yuki hurriedly retorted.

"Let's not rush to conclusions. The murder weapon, the bandages the killer used, and the hat he was wearing have all been found. With careful investigation, we'll definitely be able to find the killer," Inspector Megure said.

Actually, Inspector Megure dislikes handling cases that occur within large, extended families the most.

Whatever the final truth may be, there will be some troublesome things.

Zhiyong watched for a while and then spoke up, "I feel that the murderer's behavior is very strange. He deliberately walked out of the room to the balcony and looked up, as if he wanted us to see his face clearly. Therefore, I think that person is very likely not Mr. Xiuchen. If that is the case, Mr. Xiuchen is probably already in trouble."

“That is indeed strange, but it’s also possible that Mr. Hideomi deliberately made us think that way,” Hattori Heiji said.

"Inspector Megure." Takagi ran over.

"Takagi, what have you found?" Inspector Megure asked.

“We reviewed all the security camera footage around the house and found no one who left the house after the incident,” Takagi replied.

Everyone was quite surprised when they heard this.

"So the murderer is still inside this house," Kogoro Mouri exclaimed.

"Oh no, President Nagato is all alone now." Hattori Heiji said as he ran upstairs.

Kogoro Mouri, Inspector Megure, and Conan all ran over after them.

Zhiyong was about to say that Xiaolan was taking care of Chairman Nagato.
