Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

"It's truly terrifying. He's a ruthless person. For an unknown treasure, he would undergo plastic surgery to look so old and ugly. How many people could do that?" Zhiyong exclaimed.

While Zhiyong and Xiao Ai were chatting.

After everyone had searched the castle and the courtyard,

However, they did not find Conan.

When the search for Conan began.

It started raining, and now the rain is getting heavier.

"We've searched everywhere, but we haven't found him. Could Conan have gone into that tower?" Professor Agasa asked anxiously.

"No, I just checked the entrance, and the lock on the door is still secure," Mamiya Mitsuru replied.

"Could we have ended up in the forest?" Gardener Katsuo Tabata asked in surprise.

“That’s terrible,” said Nobleman Mamiya.

"Is the forest dangerous?" Zhiyong asked, pretending to be concerned.

……

Chapter 273 Unveiling the Truth

Although Zhiyong knew that Conan was actually in the secret passage.

But he wouldn't say it out loud.

Since Conan likes adventure, he needs to understand that anything he does requires a price to pay.

After all, Ai's identity is currently being kept secret.

But what if Conan does something reckless like that?

His secret will eventually be known to more people.

Zhiyong remembered the events in the plot.

Conan's true identity is already known to many people.

It's practically an open secret.

With Zhiyong's current strength, even if Ai's identity is exposed, it won't be a big deal.

However, it will also bring him some trouble.

Zhiyong is a person who dislikes trouble.

“Two years ago, one of our new servants suddenly disappeared one night. From the servants who knew him well, we learned that he had been very interested in that tower. So we immediately went to the tower to search for him. Although there were signs that someone had been inside, there was no one there,” Mamiya Mitsuru replied.

"So the servant just disappeared like that?" Professor Agasa asked.

“No, after we reported it to the police, they searched the nearby forest again and found his body ten days later. After an autopsy, the police determined that he had starved to death,” Mamiya Mitsuru added.

"How could this be?" Professor Agasa replied.

“I don’t know. However, the police’s final conclusion was that he was trapped in the forest and couldn’t get out, so he starved to death inside. There’s a rumor among the servants that my wife’s spirit was restless after her death and killed the living person who entered. Therefore, we sealed the entrance to the tower so that no one can enter anymore,” Mamiya Mitsuru replied.

"What if Conan also starves to death in the forest?" Ayumi asked in horror.

"Don't worry, Conan will be fine," Zhiyong reassured him.

“The rain is getting heavier, and we won’t be able to search the forest tonight. Let’s have the police search the forest tomorrow,” suggested Mitsuru Mamiya.

"That's all we can do for now," Mamiya Nobleman replied.

Ayumi was somewhat worried about Conan.

But after being persuaded, I had no choice but to give up.

Once inside the room...

Zhi Yong then activated the illusion.

Anyway, as long as the fake old lady is controlled, Conan will be fine.

We shouldn't let these kids run wild.

After all, it's within the storyline.

The fake old lady didn't kill anyone.

However, an accident had already occurred in previous episodes.

If these children run around...

Who knows what unexpected things might happen?

Under the operation of the illusion.

Everyone fell asleep quickly.

As for Conan, let him continue his exciting activities; it's his hobby anyway.

Of course, this is to prevent any accidents from happening.

Zhiyong found a fake old lady and put her into a deep sleep as well.

In this way, without any external obstruction, Conan will be able to find the exit in the secret passage very quickly.

By daybreak, he should be able to uncover the castle's secret.

After everything is settled.

Zhiyong then went back to sleep.

Inside the castle's secret passage.

Conan has just woken up from his coma.

He doesn't even know where he is now.

Fortunately, the old lady didn't know that Conan had many gadgets on him.

For example, his watch can be used not only as a watch, but also as a tranquilizer gun.

In this dark secret passage, the watch can also be used as a flashlight.

Conan flicked a switch on his watch and directly turned on the flashlight function.

I was suddenly knocked unconscious.

Although Conan doesn't know who it is, there isn't much information about it.

However, based solely on the skeleton, Conan had already deduced its true identity.

Because the bones in the skeleton appear relatively slender.

This indicates that the other person has a leg problem and has been unable to walk for many years.

The skeleton had lost all its teeth and its hair had turned completely white.

This indicates that the skeleton was very old.

The only person with such distinctive features is the old lady in the castle.

But the old lady is still alive in the castle.

This means that someone was impersonating the old lady.

Conan also thought of that fire.

Actually, the case at Blue Castle isn't that complicated.

After learning about the castle's past from the gardener and discovering the skeletons in the secret passage, everything here can be clearly deduced.

Conan is very anxious right now.

He was very worried that something might happen to them while they were searching for him.

Although Conan has also witnessed some of Zhiyong's abilities.

But the enemy is lurking in the shadows.

Besides wisdom and courage.

Ayumi and the other kids, along with Professor Agasa, don't have any real strength.

If we only hope that everyone stays together, with Zhiyong's protection, they will not encounter any problems.

Conan, however, was unaware of this.

Zhiyong already knew the castle's secret, and because of Zhiyong, no one came out to look for him in the middle of the night.

Everyone is now lying peacefully in bed, sleeping soundly.

Conan nervously searched through the secret passage, also fearing that he would be discovered by the person who had ambushed him.

Therefore, Conan was on tenterhooks and cautiously explored the area.

Time passed by little by little.

Conan, with his intelligence, finally found the exit, and no further accidents occurred along the way.

As soon as he came out, he found a phone and called Inspector Megure to report the incident.

But when Conan found everyone...

I feel like killing Conan.

He originally thought everyone would be worried about him.

But all I saw was everyone sleeping peacefully.

Conan was annoyed and started arguing with everyone.

He was preparing to investigate the castle case.

He made things clear before the police arrived.

After being woken up, everyone was very happy to see Conan.

However, the comforting words from the crowd failed to warm Conan's heart.

After all, he was on tenterhooks and spent almost a whole night in the secret passage before finally finding his way out.
