Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Isn't Sei Kenichi the one who killed his friend, Imatake Satoshi?

He came here to prove his alibi, but Conan later saw through his scheme.

Zhiyong looked at him and thought to himself, "Why did you choose to go after them when there are so many other people? Isn't that just sending them to their deaths?"

If Conan hadn't been involved in this case, his evidence might have stood.

You'll die if you don't court death.

Jealousy is also known as "red-eye disease".

As for Sei Kenichi...

Zhiyong utterly despised him.

He failed simply because his friend did a good job, but instead of looking for the problem within himself, he blamed others.

In particular, he killed his friend out of jealousy.

Nobuichi Sei didn't even think about it.

If one's own strength is not strong, even if there is no Zhang San, there will be Li Si, and he still will not have a chance.

If Sei Kenichi's actions were due to a friend plagiarizing his work...

He killed the other person in a fit of anger, and Zhiyong might even cover for him.

However, someone like Sei Kenichi should just wait to go to jail.

This puzzled Zhiyong greatly.

Since Sei Kenichi has already said that Imatake Satoshi won the Naomoto Prize, they came here to celebrate with him, and they plan to drink all night long.

So, isn't it very strange that he's out alone now?

It feels like they're trying too hard to hide something.

Zhiyong was speechless at Seijin's affected manner.

Sei Kenichi pointed to the side and said, "This area is also nice. Could you please take a few more pictures?"

Xiao Lan was very patient. She took the camera and said, "Okay." She then took several more photos of him.

At that moment, a man with a coral-colored haircut walked up to Sei Kenichi and asked, "Are you Mr. Sei Kenichi?"

Sei Kenichi: "Yes."

The man flashed his police badge and said, "I am a police officer from Saitama Prefecture. My surname is Yokomizo. I would like to ask you about Mr. Imatake Tomo's case."

He's Inspector Yokomizo! He's a huge fan of Kogoro Mouri, a complete fanatic.

Sei Kenichi asked in surprise, "Imatake, what happened to him?"

Inspector Yokomizo stared at Nobuyoshi Sei: "He's been killed. In the hotel room where you and he stayed together."

Sei Nobuyoshi was shocked and grabbed Inspector Yokomizo's hand, saying, "What? Imatsu was killed? How is that possible? Officer, you must find the murderer who killed my friend."

Damn it, can't you put a little more effort into your performance?

This is way too extravagant.

Zhiyong also sincerely admired Inspector Yokomizo; with so many people at the festival, he was still able to find Sei Kenichi.

Does it have a location tracking system?

This is so illogical.

As expected, in the world of Detective Conan, you can't look at things with a normal perspective.

……

Room 204 at the Tokio Hotel.

The room was a mess, with the body lying on the floor.

Ayumi and her two friends, who were quite capable, were left at the door, with Ran watching over them.

Inspector Yokomizo looked at the statement and asked the hotel owner, "The murder weapon was a handgun, and the time of the crime was 8:02 or 8:03 PM. The perpetrator was a young man who escaped from this room after the crime, so that should be correct, right?"

The innkeeper nodded and said, "Yes, that's absolutely right. At that time, the festival had just started being broadcast on television."

Kogoro Mouri squatted on the ground, looked at the corpse, and said, "The bullet went right through the head."

When Inspector Yokomizo saw Kogoro Mori moving the corpse, he angrily said, "Hey, hey, who are you people?"

Zhiyong stepped forward and introduced, "This is my uncle, the famous detective Kogoro Mouri."

After hearing Zhiyong's introduction, Inspector Yokomizo eagerly grabbed Kogoro Mouri's hand and said, "You must be the famous detective, Mr. Kogoro Mouri."

Kogoro Mouri straightened his clothes and said, "That's right, I am Kogoro Mouri."

Hearing this, Sei Kenichi was shocked and felt very frustrated.

Seeing the shocked look on Sei Kenichi's face, Zhiyong found it amusing.

Inspector Yokomizo said with admiration, "You have solved many difficult cases. I often see them in the newspapers and read reports about you. You are truly a great detective."

Even someone as thick-skinned as Kogoro Mouri felt a little embarrassed. He said, "Thank you so much."

Doesn't Officer Yokomizo feel embarrassed at all for telling lies without batting an eye?

Since I often read reports about Kogoro Mouri in the newspaper.

How could anyone not recognize Kogoro Mouri at all?

Officer Yokomizo said very politely, "You're an expert in this area, so please feel free to look around. If you find any clues, they can be helpful for our search. Thank you."

Kogoro Mouri nodded and began to examine the scene carefully. He happened to see the wallet next to him, picked it up, and found that the money inside was gone.

Looking at the corpse again, I noticed some stuff on its mouth, some stuck to my finger, and I put it under its nose.

When Conan encounters a case, he becomes somewhat obsessed.

Not to be outdone, he stuck some on and held it under his nose, saying, "This is toothpaste."

……

Chapter 34 A Slap in the Face Delivered to Your Doorstep

Kogoro Mouri hadn't noticed Conan at first.

But as soon as Conan spoke, Kogoro Mouri noticed him.

Conan was seen at the murder scene again.

Kogoro Mouri was furious.

He gave Conan a hard knock on the head and said angrily, "Seriously, you always do this."

Zhi Yong smiled slightly and said, "The child is naughty. He just saw how impressive Uncle Mori is and wanted to learn from him."

Kogoro Mouri nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.

However, they still rudely kicked Conan out of the scene.

Conan is also quite helpless now. His body has shrunk, making it inconvenient for him to do anything. Moreover, the adults don't believe in him, a little kid.

Conan felt a little sad when Kogoro Mouri kicked him out of the scene.

There was nothing else they could do but follow Ran and Ayumi and the others to look inside from outside the door.

Although I couldn't get into the venue.

However, Conan was still thinking about what he had observed at the scene earlier.

Conan suspects that the culprit is Sei Kenichi, but he hasn't found any evidence yet.

At the scene of the murder.

Kogoro Mouri conducted an investigation at the scene.

Inspector Yokomizo asked politely, "Have you found any clues, Detective Mori?"

After examining the corpse, Kogoro Mouri stood up, about to speak.

Zhiyong spoke first: "Uncle, you're a famous detective, so of course you should speak last. Why don't you let me speak first, and then you can add anything I've said? Okay?"

Kogoro Mouri smiled and said, "Alright, go ahead and tell me."

Zhiyong said respectfully, "Yes, Uncle. On the surface, this is a robbery case."

Officer Yokomizo asked in confusion, "A robbery case?"

Zhiyong said with a serious expression, "Officer Yokogawa, the robbery case is just the surface; I haven't finished yet."

Officer Yokomizo nodded and said, "Go on."

"It seems the culprit wanted us to think this was a robbery. However, it's clear this person isn't a seasoned criminal. The innkeeper just said he heard the gunshot and saw someone rush out, right?"

Officer Yokomizo nodded again and said, "That's right, exactly."

“If it were a robbery, the perpetrator would have time to take the money from the wallet after the shooting, but how could he possibly have time to search the room? That way, the room wouldn’t have been so messy.”

“That’s true,” Officer Yokomizo replied after inspecting the scene.

Zhiyong pointed to the toothpaste on the deceased's lips and said, "There's another thing. If a stranger were knocking on the door, the deceased wouldn't have opened it while brushing his teeth; that would be very impolite. This can only mean that the murderer was someone he knew. The room was also messed up before the murder, and the wallet was taken after the murder, making it look like a robbery."

"Who is the culprit? Could it be..." Inspector Yokomizo looked at Nobuichi Sei.

"Officer Yokomizo's guess was absolutely right, wasn't I? Mr. Sei, there were so many people at the festival, yet you chose us as your alibi. You can only call it bad luck." Tomoyuki shook his head and said disdainfully.

Kogoro Mouri nodded and said, "That's right, that's basically how the case is."

Sei Kenichi said angrily, "Don't joke around. The murder happened around eight o'clock, right? I have a complete alibi. Because at the same time, I was already watching the festival of the world's number one night."

He then looked at Kogoro Mouri and said, "Where did I meet you again, Mr. Mouri? Is that right, Mr. Mouri? Don't wrong me."

Kogoro Mouri thought for a moment and said, "Yes, we did encounter you, but when we met you, it was already the second half of the festival. You still had time to kill people."

Sei Kenichi argued, "Really, I was already there from the beginning. If you think I'm lying, just get this developed. There should be evidence that I wasn't there."

As he spoke, he handed over his camera.

"Okay, take it to be washed right away." Officer Yokomizo listened, took the camera, and handed it to his subordinate.

Zhiyong walked up to Kogoro Mouri and said, "Uncle, he is undoubtedly the murderer, but he is still so confident at this time, which means that there is evidence in the photos in the camera that can prove his alibi."
