Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Conan rolled his dead fish eyes.

Every time, Zhi Yong solved the case before him.

This made him very unhappy.

Actually, he also wanted to get there first.

However, he still felt that Kudo Yusaku's opinion was correct.

After all, his father wouldn't harm him.

Let him restrain himself as much as possible.

To avoid attracting too much attention and letting people notice that something is different.

Therefore, he endured it all along.

With the addition of Zhiyong.

Although Conan also gave Kogoro Mouri the nickname "Sleeping Kogoro".

However, compared to the storyline of Detective Conan.

Because of wisdom and courage.

Although he has been in the limelight a lot, it hasn't been particularly outstanding.

This also meant that not as many people paid attention to him as in the story.

Of course, Conan is just asking for trouble.

Zhi Yong's role was merely to temporarily prolong the time it took for him to be discovered by more people.

Now, watching Zhiyong speak eloquently...

Although Conan was very unhappy, there was nothing he could do.

After all, there are some things.

He couldn't express it with his own mouth.

Zhiyong didn't care what Conan thought.

As long as Kogoro Mouri has no objections, then there's no problem.

Zhiyong glanced at everyone before answering, "You did this so that you could kill Mr. Tianma today and have Mr. Shanze take the blame for you."

"what?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I do such a thing?"

Everyone was quite surprised by Zhiyong's answer.

Of course, Conan is an exception.

Because he has now discovered it as well.

Zhiyong smiled and said, "Then let me explain to everyone. This is a series of schemes. Sending threatening letters is to let us know that there is such a bad person who has his eye on Madam Meifu. Therefore, it is quite normal for Madam Meifu to be attacked. With the bookshelf in disarray, it is only natural that the photograph would appear."

Kogoro Mouri interjected, "This provoked Mr. Zenzawa's anger and also made everyone see the conflict between him and Mr. Tenma."

Zhiyong nodded and said, "That's right. Then you brought it up again, asking Mr. Tianma to sing. In order to prepare, Mr. Tianma would go to the piano room. Mr. Shanze originally wanted to find out the details, so he naturally went to lead the way. In this way, Mr. Tianma was killed in the piano room. Everyone was in the hall, but Mr. Shanze could not prove that he did not kill anyone."

Kogoro Mouri added, "That's right, we also heard them arguing, so it seems logical that Mr. Shan killed someone."

Kanami Saki angrily said, "I'm clearly in the hall. How could I kill Pegasus? Do you think I can split myself in two?"

Zhiyong shook his head and said, "There is no need to create a clone. Just design another one, and have it act like you are being attacked. That way, no one will see anyone else in the piano room, and Mr. Shan will be the murderer."

Kanami Saki angrily said, "What mechanism? I didn't design any mechanism at all."

Zhiyong shrugged and said, "It's nothing. Let's go to the piano room now. The evidence there is very obvious, so it's impossible for you to deny it."

Miwako led everyone to the piano room again.

Kogoro Mouri said, "Kid, show everyone the evidence."

Zhiyong said, "Look at the window and the handrail over there. There are traces of fine lines. And on the floor where Mr. Tianma is lying, there is a mark from a sword piercing. But look at this mark, it is clearly vertical. And look again, there is a chandelier above where Mr. Tianma is lying. So the killing mechanism is connected."

Miwako nodded and said, "That's right. The police have already verified this. The sword that killed someone should have been hanging from the chandelier."

Kogoro Mouri asked, "What you said is true, but even if Mr. Tenma was standing right under the sword, why did the sword pierce his back instead of his head or shoulder when it fell? That doesn't make sense."

Zhiyong replied, "Because at that time, Mr. Tianma was bending over, so his back was facing the sword."

Hideki Kana asked in confusion, "Why is he bending down? Is he trying to pick something up?"

Kogoro Mouri said, "It's that tuning fork, isn't it? I remember when Mr. Tenma died, he was still holding a tuning fork in his hand. After all, that sword killed Mr. Tenma directly, so there was no chance to leave any information about his death."

Zhiyong nodded and said, "That's right. When Mr. Tianma walked up to the piano, he found that the chair was overturned next to the piano, and even the tuning fork was pressed under the chair. So he bent down and picked up the tuning fork."

Miwako added, "That way his back will be directly facing the sword, but what about the opportunity? How can the sword be made to fall?"

Zhiyong replied, "I will now restore the mechanism, and everyone will understand at a glance."

Then Zhiyong found some thin thread and restored the mechanism.

Of course, what replaced the sword was just a wooden stick.

Zhiyong replied, "The button to activate the mechanism is the tuning fork. When Mr. Tianma picked up the tuning fork, the mechanism was activated, and the sword fell down. Because the other side was suspended outside the window by a heavy object, the thin lines also fell into the sea after the mechanism was triggered."

As he spoke, he bent down like a celestial horse, picked up the tuning fork from under the chair, and the wooden stick immediately fell down.

It hit Zhiyong squarely.

Because it was a wooden stick, and it wasn't hung too high, I didn't feel any pain.

Upon seeing the mechanism, everyone turned their attention to Kanami Saki.

Although Kanami Saki saw that the method of murder had been exposed, she did not want to confess.

She said, "Even if this is how the organization is set up, others can do it too, so why was it specifically me?"

Zhiyong pointed to the piano and said, "There's liquid on the piano lid and inside the piano, which the police have already collected as evidence."

Miwako explained, "The liquid on the piano is red wine, but more specific identification will take some time."

Zhiyong replied, "It's not actually that difficult. Those red wines should be the ones Mr. Michel brought. They're not available in Japan. He only brought one bottle this time."

Michelle stepped forward, dipped her finger in the wine, tasted it, and said, "This is indeed the red wine I brought. Because our batch of wine uses a unique winemaking method, it tastes somewhat different from other red wines."

Chapter 361 Unexpected Event (2/2)

P.S.: I've been quite busy these past few days and haven't been updating regularly. Today I finally made up for the missed daily chapters.

In the next couple of days, there will be monthly tickets, reviews, and flowers. There are a total of four chapters, and I will try my best to finish them.

……

Everyone already believed what Zhiyong said.

Now that Michelle has come out to prove it, everyone has come to believe it.

I only saw Kanami Saki standing still.

Zhiyong continued, "After the red wine was opened, everyone present except Ran and Conan finished their drinks. Only Mrs. Misaki didn't drink any; she was thinking about something. When Uncle Mori turned around, he accidentally bumped into your arm, spilling the red wine on you."

Kogoro Mouri added, "That's right. You didn't change your clothes at the time, so some of the wine must have spilled on the flower on your brooch."

Zhiyong added, "That's why, when you opened the piano lid, the wine dripped from the flowers and landed on the piano."

Kana Zen exclaimed excitedly, "Misaki, is this true? But why did you frame me and make people mistake me for a murderer?"

At this moment, Kanami Saki did not speak, her expression constantly changing.

Regarding this point...

If Kanami Saki hadn't said anything...

Even Zhi Yong couldn't guess accurately.

Hideki Kana also asked, "But why did my sister-in-law kill Mr. Tenma?"

Zhiyong replied, "You may not have noticed, but the photo of Mr. Tianma and Mrs. Misaki was taken half a month before your wedding ten years ago."

Kanasan exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible?"

Zhiyong continued, "That 'Red Passion Dream Song' dedicated to Mrs. Misaki seems to be a tender love song, but the lyrics mention the meanings of four flowers: red rose represents passion, marigold represents despair, pheasant represents malice, and dahlia represents betrayal. In other words, it is a song of resentment written to a lover who has changed his heart."

Kanami sighed before saying, "Yes, ten years ago, although we were dating, I couldn't forget Tenma, so I couldn't make a decision. But Tenma decided to settle things with me. We met at the cliff by the sea. I was furious and pushed him off the cliff into the sea in a fit of rage."

Zhiyong nodded and said, "Next, you will marry Mr. Shanze."

Kogoro Mouri also said, "I just didn't expect that Mr. Tenma didn't die, and even became famous abroad."

Zhiyong continued, "After you learned Gerald Pegasus's true identity, in order to prevent others from knowing the crimes you had committed, you plotted again and murdered Mr. Pegasus."

Miwako asked, "But why did you frame Mr. Zenzuru, making him bear the blame for Mr. Tenma's murder?"

Kanami Saki sneered, "It's all Masaya's fault. If I'm arrested, she'll take away my husband, my home, and my company. But if he goes to jail, no one will be fighting me for them. I'll protect everything and wait for him to come out of jail."

Ganashan then said emotionally, "Meifu."

Although she was framed, Kana Zen did not hate her.

Kanami Saki continued, "Ten years ago, his body was never found, and I was constantly worried that Tenma was still alive. When I saw the lyrics to 'Crimson Love Dream Song,' I immediately understood the meaning of the song, which is why I killed him."

Michelle said, “You’re wrong, Mrs. Misaki. Actually, Gerald never hated you. Maybe he resented you when he wrote that song, but he sang it every time, not because he hated you. Every time he finished singing it, he would whisper a French phrase, which translates to that he wanted to make amends for your wounded soul back then. It was for this reason that he said he would make slight modifications to the lyrics when he collaborated with you this time.”

Xiao Lan added, "Yes, look at the four flowers. Except for the rose, which hasn't changed, he replaced the other three with hyacinths, laurels, and olives. Their flower meanings are sadness, peace, and glory."

Miwako sighed, "So that's how it is. Because of you, Mr. Tenma became a murderer, which made him feel very guilty. The reason he sang this song was to atone for his sins and to further collaborate with Kana Music."

Zhiyong said, "Originally, I didn't want to say it, but Mr. Tianma was killed by you in the end because of you, and yet you continue to lie to people."

Miwako asked doubtfully, "Is there something else going on here?"

Zhiyong replied, "It was those three photos that made me discover the problem. The harassing phone calls and the sending of photos were all done by Mrs. Misaki, but you couldn't have taken those photos. Therefore, you must have an accomplice. Am I right?"

Ganashan asked in surprise, "Accomplices? You have accomplices?"

In response to Zhiyong's question.

Kanami Saki shook her head and said, "I don't even know what you're talking about? Accomplice, how ridiculous."
