Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

When Inspector Megure arrived at the scene, he first listened to the account of what happened from the room's occupant, Yoko Okino. After listening to Yoko Okino's account...

Inspector Megure nodded with a serious expression.

He said to Yoko Okino, "I already know what happened. So when you came back here, that man had already been killed, right?"

Yoko Okino replied somewhat nervously, "Yes."

Inspector Megure then asked, "Oh, so at that time, you went to the Mouri Detective Agency with Mr. Yamagishi."

As he spoke, Inspector Megure rolled his eyes at Kogoro Mouri, looking at him as if he didn't know him at all.

Kogoro Mouri walked up to Inspector Megure in a comical manner, saluted, and said, "It's me, Kogoro Mouri, reporting for duty."

Inspector Megure was speechless when he saw Kogoro Mouri. He thought to himself, "There are so many detectives out there, who couldn't you hire? Why did you have to choose this guy? You really have no taste, no taste at all."

Kogoro Mouri rubbed his hands together, stepped forward, and said, "Ah, those days of solving countless cases with Inspector Megure are truly memorable."

Kogoro Mouri originally just wanted to show off in front of the goddess.

However, Inspector Megure showed no respect whatsoever.

He replied bluntly, "Every time you join us, it's like we've entered a maze."

Kogoro Mouri laughed awkwardly after hearing Inspector Megure's words, realizing he had almost been humiliated after his attempt to show off failed.

Zhiyong also greatly admired Kogoro Mouri's thick skin; he truly lived up to his reputation as someone who had been through many trials.

Inspector Megure, seeing Kogoro Mouri's shameless attitude, didn't want to bother with him and said to Yoko Okino, "It's really hot in here. Do you always keep the air conditioning on so high?"

Yoko Okino was also a little confused and replied, "No, it's definitely not usually this strong... Besides, I clearly remember turning off all the power when I left the house."

Inspector Megure said with a puzzled look, "That's strange."

After the police arrived, Conan was able to freely enter the scene.

Zhiyong was also a little suspicious. Why were there so many police officers, yet no one was taking care of them?

After examining the scene, Conan, right where the body had been lying, used a magnifying glass to study the wet marks on the ground.

I don't know where he found the magnifying glass.

Ayumi Yoshida was also squatting to the side watching Conan. This Ayumi Yoshida is really brave. She's not afraid even next to a corpse.

It made Zhiyong feel that if he were that age...

Upon witnessing such a scene, even if one didn't faint like Genta Kojima, one probably wouldn't have the courage to run carelessly beside the corpse.

Yoshida Ayumi, this little loli, truly lives up to her reputation as a key member of the "Young People's Death-Seeking Group." She's an absolutely outstanding expert at courting death.

Actually, there are some clues to why Ayumi Yoshida would like Conan.

Ayumi Yoshida greatly admires Shinichi Kudo.

Even after Conan shrinks, he's still a handsome young man and looks quite like Shinichi Kudo.

In particular, Conan possesses deductive reasoning abilities similar to Shinichi Kudo, which makes Ayumi Yoshida like him even more.

Conan has been studying it for quite a while now.

Upon seeing the case, he felt a surge of power coursing through his body.

Just like Popeye ate spinach.

He has long forgotten that his body has shrunk.

After Inspector Megure finished speaking, Conan, not wanting to be left out, also offered his own opinion.

Conan exclaimed, "The strange thing isn't just that. Inspector Megure, although it's only a little bit, there are wet marks around the body."

As he spoke, he stood up and pointed to a chair next to him, saying, "And this chair, in this messy room, is the only one that's properly arranged."

He struck a thoughtful pose and muttered, "Moreover, the murderer set the room temperature so high so that we wouldn't be able to accurately calculate the time of death."

Looking at Conan's expression, Zhiyong thought to himself, "What a deduction maniac! Damn it, you're just a kid now, not a washing machine anymore. Can't you be a little more careful?"

As soon as Conan finished speaking, he noticed that the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange.

He noticed several people looking at him strangely.

At this moment, Conan suddenly realized what was happening.

Now he's a seven-year-old child, no longer the high school detective Shinichi Kudo.

As soon as he realized things were going wrong, he immediately started laughing cutely.

He also jokingly said to Ayumi Yoshida next to him, "You can't talk nonsense, the children will get in the way."

This scene is truly an eyesore.

Kogoro Mouri looked at Conan and said, unable to contain himself any longer, "You're the one who's in the way here. I told you when we came that you shouldn't get in the way of the adults."

With that, "Bang!" Kogoro Mouri gave Conan a hard knock on the head.

Conan was hit hard by Kogoro Mouri, and felt utterly helpless. Kids just don't have any human rights.

Zhiyong watched as he silently mourned for Conan.

He thought to himself, "Is Conan always shooting Kogoro Mouri with tranquilizer darts just to get revenge on Kogoro Mouri for always hitting him on the head?"

Zhiyong walked up to Conan, smiled, and patted Conan's head, saying, "Young man, you can't be naughty. These uncles are all busy right now, you can't bother them. Why don't you go over and talk about life and ideals with this pretty girl?"

Yoshida Ayumi blushed after Tomoyuki said that.

Conan rolled his dead fish eyes speechlessly, slapped away Zhiyong's hand, and without any rationality, he walked to the side.

Zhi Yong smiled slightly and said nothing more, pretending to be searching for evidence everywhere.

He walked over to the sofa, lay down and looked under it, then said to Inspector Megure, "Inspector Megure, there's a suspicious item under the sofa."

……

Chapter 26 Things Are a Little Different

Inspector Megure was questioning Yoko Okino when he heard the noise and came over.

After lying on the floor and looking at it, he carefully took out an earring from under the sofa.

Inspector Megure looked at them and asked, "It's an earring, Ms. Yoko. Is this yours?"

As he spoke, he showed the earrings to Yoko Okino.

Yoko Okino looked at it and said in confusion, "That's strange. This earring isn't mine. It looks like it belongs to Yuko-san, but how did it end up here?"

Inspector Megure asked in confusion, "Miss Yuko?"

“She’s an artist who debuted at the same time as me, and she’s from the same company as me, Ms. Ikezawa Yuko,” Yoko Okino explained.

Upon seeing the earrings, Yamagishi Sakae angrily said, "These do indeed resemble Yuko's earrings. I even saw her wearing them at the company earlier today. So, she's holding a grudge because the lead actress in the drama was replaced by Yoko. That's why she killed someone and tried to frame Yoko."

"It's true that fame brings trouble," Zhiyong sighed.

Although Zhiyong knows the truth, he doesn't know if things will change in this real world.

Especially since the evidence is still incomplete.

If Zhiyong were to simply reveal the truth, it wouldn't be convincing.

After all, apart from Miwako Sato, no one else knew that Zhiyong had good reasoning skills.

Kogoro Mouri, a die-hard fan of Yoko Okino, was also eager to clear Yoko Okino's name.

Seeing this as an opportunity, he laughed loudly, "The truth has finally come out! The culprit must be Yuko Ikezawa. Inspector Megure, quickly send men to arrest Yuko Ikezawa!"

Inspector Megure was really annoyed by Kogoro Mouri's silly antics. He wished a bolt of lightning would strike the idiot dead so he wouldn't have to deal with this trouble anymore.

He was inwardly criticizing Kogoro Mouri.

However, the matter still needed to be done, so Inspector Megure asked his men to bring Yuko Ikezawa to assist with the investigation.

Zhiyong quietly walked up behind Okino Yoko and whispered, "Miss Yoko, your relationship with the deceased is easy to investigate. You should tell us sooner rather than later, so the police don't suspect you killed him. Even if the truth is eventually found, lying in the case will leave the public with an impression of dishonesty, which will affect your image."

Yoko Okino was quite surprised when she heard what Tomoyu said.

However, she soon understood.

This kind of thing really can't withstand investigation, and it will definitely come out eventually.

After all, once these kinds of murder cases are solved, the media will definitely report on them.

For celebrities, even a fart can be blown out of proportion by the media.

Rather than being put in a passive position by the police investigation back then, it's better to tell the truth now.

Yoko Okino then said to Inspector Megure, "Inspector Megure, I actually knew the deceased."

"You know the deceased?" Inspector Megure wasn't too surprised.

The deceased died in Yoko Okino's room.

If Yoko Okino, as the owner of the room, didn't know the deceased, Inspector Megure would have been suspicious.

“Yes, his name is Fujie Akiyoshi. He was my boyfriend when I was in Konan High School,” Yoko Okino replied.

Yoko Okino bowed to Sakae Yamagishi again and said, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Yamagishi, but I can't hide this matter, otherwise it might affect the investigation of the case."

"What?" Kogoro Mouri was also very surprised.

"Was it because you wanted to end your relationship, which led to an argument, and you accidentally killed the other person?" Inspector Megure asked.

“No, I didn’t kill him, and we broke up a long time ago. I haven’t seen him since then,” Yoko Okino explained.

“Yes, Yoko is so cute, how could she possibly kill someone?” Kogoro Mouri retorted.

Inspector Megure was speechless after hearing what Kogoro Mouri said.

Based on the evidence found so far, Inspector Megure suspects that the culprit is the owner of this room, Yoko Okino.

Inspector Megure believes that Yoko Okino was not telling the truth.

She probably didn't want to be with her ex-boyfriend anymore after becoming a star, or perhaps her company didn't approve of her having a boyfriend.

After rejecting him, the two argued, and in a fit of anger, Yoko Okino accidentally killed him.

Of course, Inspector Megure has not yet found any evidence, and these are just his speculations.

Therefore, he still needs to find relevant evidence to prove his hypothesis.
