Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Yabuuchi Yoshiyuki said dismissively, "My father just passed away not long ago, and she really has such feelings."

Of course, the contempt in his words was quite obvious.

That makes sense.

Where does love come from in an older man and a younger woman?

Yabunouchi Machiko is currently at the prime of her life, full of youthful vigor.

Her husband, Yoshichika Yabunouchi, was so old that even if he were alive, he could not satisfy her.

How could she possibly tolerate this?

If Yabuuchi Yoshichika had not died.

She might be very restrained for the sake of her property.

However, after Yabuuchi Yoshichika's death.

This past month has been a time for her to truly let loose.

I wouldn't say he didn't come home every night, but it was pretty close.

at this time.

Yoshifusa Yabunouchi brought Carlos in.

"Let's have hot pot tonight, that will put my mind at ease."

Hidekazu Yabuuchi asked, puzzled, "Reassured? What do you mean?"

Yabuuchi Yoshifusa said coldly, "If we eat hot pot, Carlos will not be in danger of being poisoned."

“Uncle Yoshifusa.” Hiromi Yabuchi was a little angry, but she knew they were in the wrong, so she suppressed her anger and said gently, “I think that threatening letter was just someone’s prank. Don’t take it seriously.”

Yabunouchi Yoshifusa said calmly, "If that's really the case, then so be it."

Zhiyong and Yukiko exchanged a glance but did not say anything.

The hot pot was finished in this atmosphere.

We've eaten.

Hiromi Yabuuchi then went to heat the bathwater.

Their family still uses the old-fashioned way of bathing, and the water is heated by firewood.

Taking a bath in this environment is quite romantic.

It's just a real shame.

In order to avoid revealing their relationship.

They cannot bathe together.

Although Zhiyong could use illusions to deceive everyone if he wanted to.

But there's no need for that.

If we do that, Yukiko will also discover the problem.

At nine o'clock.

It's time to take a shower.

The only problem was that the tub used for bathing was rather small, as it was made of earth.

Only one person can wash at a time.

Therefore, everyone waited in the living room.

Let the oldest person, Yabuuchi Yoshifusa, wash first.

Although they despise the Yabuuchi family.

However, it must be said that even if it wasn't out of genuine feeling, they still showed the old man a degree of respect.

This is no easy feat.

at this time.

The phone rang again.

It turned out to be Machiko Yabuuchi calling again.

The main point is that she will be back at eleven o'clock and asks Hiromi Yabuuchi to prepare bath water for her.

Regarding this phone call.

This made Zhiyong feel very strange.

It's just that the specific part is strange.

On this point, wisdom and courage have not yet reached a consensus.

But it didn't take long for Zhiyong to understand.

The space reminded Zhiyong that a new ghost was present.

Zhiyong had the space collect the ghost, and when he entered the space with his mind, he discovered that the ghost was Yabuchi Machiko.

Just now.

Machiko Yabuuchi had promised that she would be back after 11 o'clock.

However, it didn't last long.

She died.

The area that can be collected in the space is not very far.

That is to say...

She is either at the Yabuuchi residence, or near Chiyu's current room, most likely in the bathroom.

This made him understand.

Why did that phone call make him feel strange?

Machiko Yabuuchi likely recorded the audio at the banquet using a tape recorder.

Then she came back immediately.

Every day, Yabuuchi Yoshifusa takes a bath at the same time, at nine o'clock. Moreover, as an elder, no one argues with him about it.

At this time.

There was only one person in the Yabuuchi Yoshifusa Association.

Carlos, who is usually inseparable from him, will not follow.

He would just stay in the room and stare at everyone.

Machiko Yabunouchi believed that Yoshifusa Yabunouchi, being so old, was definitely not as physically fit as she was.

Being alone now is exactly her opportunity.

To confirm.

She then made the phone call.

Of course, Yabuuchi Machiko's phone call also had another meaning: that she had killed Yabuuchi Yoshifusa.

This phone call can prove it.

Her presence at this moment, while she is still at the banquet, serves as proof of her alibi.

It's just a real shame.

This Yabuuchi Yoshifusa is not the real one, and the other party is a master, so Yabuuchi Machiko is doomed.

It's unclear whether Yabuuchi Yoshifusa did it intentionally or accidentally, but regardless of the possibility...

Yabuuchi Machiko died.

There will be one less person to divide the inheritance.

Everyone will be able to get a bigger share.

Yabuuchi Yoshifusa insists that he killed his opponent by accident.

Then he would not be guilty.

Anyway, it was just the two of them at the time.

No one else knew what had happened.

After all, Yabunouchi Machiko was the one who killed first, so Yabunouchi Yoshifusa's retaliation was not wrong.

Not long after.

Yoshifusa Yabuuchi walked in.

"That feels so good."

He pretended nothing was wrong.

However, there was a faint killing intent about him.

This person has just been killed.

The scent left on the body.

Now that the space has been upgraded, Zhiyong's various senses have been enhanced, which is why he was able to sense the trace of killing intent from the other party right after they had killed someone.

Of course, this hint of murderous intent would soon disappear.

that time.

Even Zhiyong wouldn't realize it.

Although Zhiyong had figured it out, he had no intention of exposing it.

Everyone took turns taking a shower.

After Yukiko finished washing up, she returned to her room.

Hiromi Yabuuchi asked, "Yukiko, is the bath water temperature okay?"
