Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Zhiyong continued, "Since he was so good in junior high school, will he participate in kendo competitions now or later? If so, can't we find his address from the competition organizers?"

Kogoro Mouri said happily, "Yes, we can give this a try. I'll investigate now to see what competitions have been held recently. If he participated, we'll definitely be able to find him."

Kogoro Mouri is very famous now.

This also greatly expanded his network of contacts.

Therefore, he quickly uncovered the truth.

After hanging up the phone, Kogoro Mouri said, "Mr. Shibata often participates in kendo competitions and always gets top marks. Just recently, he participated in the social division of the Shizuoka Tournament."

Xiaolan asked, "Where does he live? Is it in Shizuoka?"

Kogoro Mouri replied, "Yes, Mr. Shibata is a physical education teacher at Oka High School. He and his wife are currently living in a rented house near the school. Let's go there now."

Zhiyong said, "I happen to be free, so I'll drive you there."

Kogoro Mouri nodded and said, "Okay, that saves me the trouble of renting a car."

Ikeba Shizuka smiled and said, "Thank you so much for helping me find my classmate's address."

Zhi Yong smiled and said, "You're welcome."

Speechless all the way.

Several hours have passed.

The five of them arrived in Shizuoka and went to the doorstep of Shizuka Ikenami, Shiro Shibata's classmate.

"Ding dong, ding dong."

I waited at the door for a while.

But no one came to open the door.

Kogoro Mouri asked in confusion, "Is no one home?"

Xiao Lan said, "It's a day off today, maybe the couple went out."

Kogoro Mouri nodded and said, "That's possible. How about this, it's time for dinner now, let's go have dinner and then come back to check."

No one was home at the other party's house.

The five of them had no choice but to prepare to leave.

At that moment, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline appeared.

Upon seeing the five of them, the middle-aged man asked, "You're here to see Mr. Shibata, aren't you?"

Kogoro Mouri asked doubtfully, "Yes."

The middle-aged man said very rudely, "Just tell us what you want to do. We're coming to my house to play mahjong later."

Kogoro Mouri replied, "But it seems they've already gone out!"

The middle-aged man replied, "Going out? Impossible, I think he's definitely sleeping."

As he spoke, he pressed the doorknob, and the door opened.

The middle-aged man turned around and said, "Isn't that right? The door wasn't locked, he must be at home."

Everyone went inside.

The sound of a television was coming from a room next to the entrance hall.

The middle-aged man walked to the door and glanced inside; there was no one there.

He said, "Really, the door wasn't locked, the TV wasn't turned off, and they just went to sleep like that. They really have a big heart."

After saying that, he ignored Zhiyong and the other four.

He shouted, "Shibata, get up quickly, we're about to begin!"

Shouting, he headed towards the bedroom.

Kogoro Mouri entered the room where the television was still on.

This is a restaurant.

There was still some unfinished food on the table.

Kogoro Mouri said, "The food is only half served, and you're just leaving it uneaten. What a waste."

Xiaolan touched a bowl and said, "This bowl of miso soup is cold."

Kogoro Mouri looked at the rice, touched it with his chopsticks, and said, "This rice has hardened. Is this breakfast?"

Ikeba Shizuka also said, "It would be a real pity to waste such a good girl like Gu Ji."

Xiao Lan asked in confusion, "Gu Ci?"

Shizuka Ikenami smiled and said, "It's just a tilefish."

From the road ahead.

Zhiyong discovered it.

Conan was very wary of this Shizuka Ikenami, and he was secretly observing her.

Even though I know Conan is a little pervert, I still find it strange to observe a lady like this.

This was the first time Zhiyong had ever seen it.

Therefore, Zhiyong began to suspect Ikeba Shizuka.

However, Shizuka Ikenami's demeanor prevented Zhiyong from assuming she was a member of the Black Organization.

Unless they are peripheral members of the Black Organization.

However, Zhiyong felt that the other party didn't seem quite right.

The tone of voice during the conversation, as mentioned earlier regarding Ju-ci and the journey.

Now Zhiyong had a possibility in mind.

After observing her more carefully and recalling her name, he finally made up his mind.

Although she was very careful, some of her Osaka accent still showed.

Osaka native.

The name is Ikeba Shizuka.

All of this reminded Zhiyong of one person.

Previously.

Hearing the name Ikebami Shizuka didn't make him think much of it.

After all, there are too many people with the same name.

Moreover.

If she were to sign up, it should be Hattori Shizuka.

Yes, she is Hattori Heiji's mother.

Her current surname is likely the one she used before marriage.

Regarding this Hattori Shizuka.

I don't have a deep impression of Zhiyong.

After all, she didn't appear very often in the story.

Something might happen this time.

However, Zhiyong did not receive any notification.

That means it might not have happened yet.

However, since Kogoro Mouri, Conan, and Ran have all come, they certainly won't let Zhiyong down.

While Zhiyong was lost in thought.

The sound of a door opening.

"I'm home, honey."

The five of them heard the sound.

He came out of the kitchen.

A middle-aged woman was standing at the door, carrying a large bag on her back, which looked like a golf club bag.

I heard the meaning behind her words.

This must be Shibata Shiro's wife. I learned her name was Shibata Kyoko from the sign at the door.

Kyoko Shibata looked surprised when she saw the five of them.

……

Chapter 365 As expected, another problem arose (1/2)

Kogoro Mouri was about to speak.

Kyoko Shibata spoke first, shouting, "Who are you people? What are you doing in my house? How dare you trespass on someone else's property? If you don't leave, I'm calling the police."

Xiao Lan hurriedly said, "Actually, we..."

Before she could finish speaking, she heard a middle-aged man's voice coming from the room directly opposite the entrance.

"Shibata, Shibata, what's wrong? Wake up!"

They all hurriedly ran inside.

After entering the room.

They saw it.

A man was lying on the ground, and a middle-aged man was shaking him.

The man on the ground had blood on his head.

The bloodstains had dried, so the person had probably been dead for some time.
