Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

"This letter was delivered to my home in Brazil a month ago."

Yabuuchi Yoshifusa snorted and continued, "I wasn't interested in my elder brother's inheritance. I came back this time to see what these idiots who sent me threatening letters actually look like."

Everyone saw the threatening letter.

I'm speechless now.

Yabunouchi Yoshifusa said angrily, "Alright, if you have nothing else to do, all of you get out of here."

Zhiyong smiled and said, "Actually, maybe they have ulterior motives, but after all, you haven't seen each other for almost thirty years. It's inevitable that they will have some thoughts when you suddenly meet. Since you have already proven the wound on your leg, but it may be a coincidence that you also have this wound on your leg, why don't you write a few more words to prove it?"

Yabunouchi Yoshifusa glanced at him coldly and said, "Write? Why do we need to write?"

Zhiyong shrugged and said, "I found a New Year's postcard written by Mr. Yifang in the warehouse. If your handwriting is the same as that one, then you are Mr. Yifang. This way, they won't be suspicious, and both sides will be at ease."

Yabunouchi Yoshifusa nodded and said, "Alright, what do you want to write?"

Zhiyong took out a New Year's postcard and said, "Sister Guangmei took the card, and Mr. Yifang wrote the four words 'Happy New Year'."

I found paper and pen.

Yabuuchi Yoshifusa wrote "Happy New Year" on a piece of paper.

Zhiyong took it out and looked at it, then said to everyone, "Look, the words on it are the same as the words on the postcards."

"They really are the same."

"That makes it true."

"Probably."

Yabuchi Yoshiyuki asked, "He was writing with his left hand just now. Do you know Uncle Yoshifusa? Is he left-handed?"

Hiromi Yabuuchi shook her head and said, "I'm not too sure about that."

Yukiko Kudo shrugged and said, "I've forgotten too."

Zhiyong took out the photos he had just found in the warehouse and said, "Look at this photo. Mr. Yifang's baseball glove is on his right hand, which proves that he is left-handed."

"That's really true."

"So Uncle Yifang is real."

Zhiyong handed the photos to Yabuuchi Hiromi before saying, "Now that it's proven that Mr. Yoshifusa is real, let's leave and not disturb him."

"We apologize for disturbing you."

The group exchanged glances before leaving.

Zhiyong walked at the very end.

He noticed that the group was some distance apart before whispering, "Mr. Yoshifusa, if you're left-handed, you should be injured in your left leg, right? You should be careful."

After saying that, he left without giving the other person a chance to speak.

Chapter 337 Revealing Identity (3/4)

Yukiko Kudo was also walking behind. When she saw Tomoyuki catch up, she quietly asked, "I saw you seem to be talking to Uncle Yoshifusa about something?"

Zhi Yong smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just told him that if he is left-handed, his injury should be on his left leg."

Yukiko Kudo exclaimed in surprise, "What?"

Zhiyong made a shushing gesture.

Yukiko Kudo whispered, "You mean, this Uncle Yoshifusa is a fake?"

Zhiyong nodded and said, "Yes."

Yukiko Kudo said angrily, "Since you know he's fake, why are you hiding it for him? No, the injury on his leg might be fake, but he's left-handed, and his handwriting is real. You can't fake that."

Zhiyong shrugged and said, "Although most people use their right hand, left-handed people are not uncommon, so it's not a big deal. The issue of identical handwriting is simple, because that New Year's card was originally written by this old man on behalf of Yabuuchi Yoshifusa."

Yukiko Kudo was a little confused and asked in disbelief, "How is this possible? And how did you know?"

Zhiyong smiled and said, "While you were in the warehouse earlier, discussing checking on Mr. Yifang's leg injury, I found a hidden compartment. Inside, I found some letters. I glanced at them and got a general idea of ​​what happened."

Yukiko Kudo exclaimed with delight, "Tell me about it quickly!"

Zhiyong said, "Yabuchi Yoshifusa and this old man were good friends who ran a farm together in Brazil. However, unfortunately, ten years ago, a tornado severely injured the old man's right foot, and Yabuchi Yoshifusa lost his arm. After that, Yabuchi Yoshifusa had this old man write for him."

Yukiko Kudo asked doubtfully, "But even so, he can't impersonate Uncle Yoshifusa, can he?"

Zhiyong shook his head and said, "Yabunouchi Yoshifusa passed away from illness half a year ago. Yabunouchi Yoshichika knew about this, so even if it's an imposter, his name won't be on the will."

Yukiko Kudo asked, "Could it be that he only returned to Japan because he was threatened?"

Zhiyong replied, "Some of what he said earlier was also a lie. He's actually after the inheritance this time."

Yukiko Kudo scoffed, "What? In the end, he was still after the inheritance."

Zhiyong shook his head and said, "He's not doing this for him. He just said that Carlos is his bodyguard, which is not true. When I saw the two of them this afternoon, I could already tell. Although Carlos is tall and strong, he is only good at martial arts. He is far inferior to that old man. So why would he hire such a bodyguard?"

Yukiko Kudo asked, puzzled, "What does that mean?"

Zhiyong explained, "Carlos is actually the son of Yabuuchi Yoshifusa. Because of the tornado, Yabuuchi Yoshifusa did not have a good life and has now passed away. Yabuuchi Yoshichika probably wanted to give his nephew some assistance so that he could live a good life. However, after receiving the threatening letter, the old man was afraid that something would happen to Carlos, so he impersonated Yabuuchi Yoshifusa. This way, he could put all the problems on his shoulders and Carlos would not be in any danger."

Yukiko Kudo nodded and said, "I see. Then I won't tell you about the old man impersonating Yoshifusa Yabunouchi. My friend was so naive back then, but he's changed now."

Zhiyong shrugged and said, "What can we do? We live in this world, so we have to adapt to its rules."

Yukiko Kudo asked, "But who wrote that threatening letter? Hiromi may have changed a lot, but I don't believe she would do something like that."

Zhi Yong shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, but I'm sure there's more than just this one threatening letter."

Yukiko Kudo asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

Zhiyong explained, “The old man just said, ‘I came back this time to see what these idiots who sent me threatening letters look like.’ He used ‘these idiots’ instead of ‘this,’ so it’s certain that more than one person sent threatening letters.”

Yukiko Kudo sighed and said, "This is really troublesome. If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have come."

Zhiyong comforted her, saying, "At least your friend Guangmei, although she wants more of the inheritance, probably doesn't intend to do anything. I believe the threatening letter has nothing to do with her."

Yukiko Kudo shrugged and said, "I hope so. If she got involved too, then we'll probably be done with each other. I don't want to be friends with someone like that."

Zhiyong smiled and said, "Friends, whether they are good or bad, as long as they don't harm me, they can still be friends."

Hiromi Yabuuchi walked over.

The two stopped talking after seeing each other.

Hiromi Yabuchi said, "What are you two doing here? Yukiko, you don't have anything to do with him, do you?"

Yukiko Kudo hugged Tomoyu's shoulders and said with a coquettish smile, "Then do you think we're a good match?"

Hiromi Yabuuchi exclaimed in surprise, "Yukiko, you can't really mean it, can you? It would be bad if Yusaku found out."

Yukiko Kudo laughed and said, "Hiromi, why have you lost your sense of humor? Yusaku was originally planning to come this time, but unexpectedly, the editors of several magazines called him to urge him to submit his manuscript, so he had no choice but to go back. That's why I contacted him. Yusaku knows about this, and he won't be jealous."

In fact, what Yukiko Kudo said is true.

There's just one slight difference.

Yukiko Kudo met Yusaku Kudo in Sapporo.

Tell him what happened on the train.

Of course, she couldn't talk about Zhiyong.

However, Yukiko Kudo mentioned that she suspects Tomoyuki knows Conan's identity.

It just so happens that Yusaku Kudo can't come this time.

Yukiko was originally planning to find Conan.

However, Yusaku Kudo recommended Chi-Yong and had Yukiko test whether Chi-Yong knew Conan's identity.

Therefore, Kudo Yusaku knew about this matter.

Yukiko was so bold.

However, Yusaku Kudo was unaware that the relationship between Tomoyuki and Yukiko was already quite special.

If he finds out, and he actually walks into the lion's den, he'll probably be incredibly frustrated.

Of course, Zhiyong had to be careful about this.

The two of them would never show any intimate behavior in front of others.

Zhiyong would often open the map to check if there were any other people around.

To avoid the possibility that Yusaku Kudo might be secretly watching, but they wouldn't know it and would be making some ambiguous moves.

……

Chapter 338 A Murder Case Occurs (4/4)

Hiromi Yabuuchi didn't realize that the two had any intimate relationship.

Therefore, they simply assumed that Yukiko was joking.

This time, we invited Yukiko.

The main purpose was to investigate the identity of Yabuuchi Yoshifusa.

It has now been confirmed, so it's considered that everything is fine now.

Hiromi Yabuuchi then started chatting with Yukiko.

During meals.

Everyone except Yabuuchi Machiko was there.

Just then, the phone rang.

Hiromi Yabuuchi answered the phone and realized it was her stepmother calling.

It turned out that her stepmother was attending a friend's wedding celebration.

After making the call.

Hiromi Yabuchi said, "It looks like she's met a new man again today."
