Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Zhiyong walked over, looked at the table, and said, "It should be one of these blank sheets of paper on the table."

Conan took down one of the cards for comparison and said, "They are indeed the same size."

Zhi Yong observed, "They probably want to recreate the marks on the table on the paper."

Conan picked up the pencil and paper, placed the paper back in the same spot, and used the pencil to smudge, slowly revealing the writing.

Xiao Lan read aloud: "Xianqiao Town, Ito."

Kogoro Mori picked up the paper and looked at it, saying, "There seem to be numbers written on it, but the pressure must have been light when writing them, so they are not showing up now."

Zhiyong looked and said, "Hattori and Kazuha should be here by now."

Xiaolan said, "Then let's go look there too."

Conan chimed in, "Yeah, we can go to the police station and ask the police. That should be enough to find it."

Fortunately, this is not in China.

In China, even within a village, let alone a town, there would be many people with the same surname.

It's estimated that even if they spend a whole day, they might not be able to finish searching.

When they found the fifth company, Zhiyong discovered the problem.

Because Zhiyong guessed that Hattori Heiji must have gotten into trouble, he would use the map function whenever he arrived at a house with the surname Ito.

When we got to the fifth one...

Zhiyong discovered it in the attic of the house.

Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama were tied up, and a man was lying on the ground.

Beside them stood two burly men, each holding a pistol and pointing it at the two men.

Heiji Hattori appears to be injured; there are marks on his face from being hit, and blood at the corner of his mouth.

This is probably the most embarrassing moment for Heiji Hattori ever.

The owner of the house was a middle-aged, plump woman, holding a kitten.

Upon seeing Kogoro Mouri, he recognized him.

When Kogoro Mouri asked Heiji Hattori about the two of them.

The plump woman replied, "I've never seen a high school student, a boy and a girl, speaking Kansai dialect before."

Kogoro Mouri said disappointedly, "Oh, I'm sorry to have bothered you."

The plump woman smiled and said, "I'm so sorry, I wasn't able to help you."

Kogoro Mouri returned the smile and turned to leave.

Xiaolan exclaimed in surprise, "The badge on your clothes, the lawyer's badge!"

The plump woman glanced at it and nodded, saying, "Yes."

Ran replied, "If I'm not mistaken, you are lawyer Misari Ito."

Misari Ito was a little surprised and a little worried, afraid that something had been discovered.

However, she couldn't let anyone notice anything amiss.

She forced a smile and said, "Yes."

Xiaolan said happily, "I once heard my mother say that no matter what the case is, you will only charge the minimum fee, and you are an excellent lawyer."

Zhiyong shook his head in secret.

Although I don't know much about this lawyer, Misari Ito.

But just by looking at the thugs she keeps, you can tell she's not a good person.

Her decision to charge only the minimum legal fees suggests a possible conspiracy, or perhaps an attempt to cover something up.

Although lawyers make money more easily.

Especially an excellent lawyer.

But if she only charges the minimum fee.

But judging from the house in front of her, she probably isn't short of money.

So where did her money come from?

Family succession?

Do business?

Judging from the condition of the attic alone, it's unlikely to be simple.

However, it's not convenient to rescue the two right now.

That's how you charge straight in.

I won't say whether I can save lives or not.

The other side has two guns.

Although Zhiyong is very strong now.

But even that couldn't dodge the bullets.

The space is not convenient to use.

Whether it's the stealth function or the space protection function.

These are things that are not convenient for others to know.

If they see this, it will cause trouble for Zhiyong.

While Zhiyong was pondering the problem.

Kogoro Mouri had already said goodbye to Misari Ito and walked towards the gate.

Zhi Yong shouldn't make any moves that might alert the enemy.

Therefore, he didn't say anything more and simply turned and left.

He watched as Kogoro Mouri and the others left.

Misari Ito then carried the kitten back to her room.

Zhiyong did not turn around.

But he was fully aware of everything behind him.

After walking a certain distance.

Zhi Yong then spoke up, saying, "I find this lawyer highly suspicious."

Xiaolan asked in confusion, "Why? I heard my mother say that she is a very good lawyer."

Zhiyong shrugged and said, "Xiaolan, being an excellent lawyer and being a good person are two different things."

……

Chapter 314 Rescuing Heiji (2/5)

Xiaolan didn't understand Zhiyong's words for a moment.

Of course, it's not that Xiaolan is stupid.

She was just a kind person and didn't think too badly of people.

Besides, her mother is a lawyer.

Therefore, when her mother said that the other party was an excellent lawyer, she assumed he was a good person.

After all, for Xiaolan, how could someone who charges the lowest possible legal fees be a bad person?

Xiao Lan, however, was unaware of this.

Some things cannot be judged by appearances alone.

Kogoro Mouri asked, "Chiyu, have you made any discoveries?"

Zhiyong nodded and said, "Yes, when Attorney Ito opened the door just now, I noticed a lot of footprints in the entryway."

Xiaolan replied, "It doesn't seem like anything special. Maybe it's just that Attorney Ito's friend went to see her."

Zhiyong shook his head and said, "If it were just footprints, it wouldn't be a problem. But all the footprints in the entrance hall are only those going in, not those coming out."

Kogoro Mouri nodded and said, "That's a bit strange."

Conan replied, "I saw it too, that's true."

Zhiyong added, "Especially when she mentioned Hattori and the other two, I noticed something strange about her expression, but she pretended not to know."

He is now quite helpless.

He knew that Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha were tied up in the attic.

But what could he say?

Could it be that he saw it?

Looking back now...

The person lying on the ground must be Nanchuan.

They simply didn't know why they had been arrested by Misari Ito.

Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha are both from Osaka, so they probably don't have any grudges against Ito Misari.

Then there's only one possibility: Kusunoki found incriminating evidence against Misari Ito.

The letter that Nankawa wrote to Toyama Kazuha's father was probably about this matter.

It just made Zhiyong feel strange.

How could Misari Ito know that Kusukawa possessed evidence of her crimes?

Could it be that she was betrayed, or that Nan Chuan was blackmailing her?

Zhiyong has too few clues now, and the truth is still unclear, so he has nowhere to find out the answer to this question.
