Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

He changed his identity to a sex maniac simply to keep it a secret.

Regarding this matter...

Zhiyong also pretended not to know.

Anyway, this is between them, so let the FBI and the Black Organization fight it out.

The group chatted for a while longer before heading home.

For this FBI agent, Judy.

Zhiyong was also somewhat interested.

Perhaps it's a difference in aesthetic tastes.

Most European and American women don't catch his eye.

Of course, beauties like Jodie and Vermouth are not among these, but they are still capable of piquing Zhiyong's interest.

However, because Judy's identity as an FBI investigator was too sensitive, Zhiyong wouldn't do anything to avoid being put in a very passive position.

The next morning, he received a call from Xiaolan.

"What? Uncle Mori was attacked?"

It was through Xiaolan's explanation that Zhiyong finally understood.

It happened last night.

Maori went to a bar for a drink.

On the way back, when we arrived at a construction site, a heavy object fell from a great height and almost hit Mori.

He initially thought it was an accident, so although he was a little angry, he didn't take it to heart.

But when he returned to the office, Xiaolan was applying medicine to him.

He received a text message.

In the text message.

"Next time I definitely won't fail, I'll definitely take your life."

This made them realize that this was not an accident.

Only at this time.

Xiao Lan discovered it.

The cell phone that Mori was holding wasn't his, and neither was his coat.

Kimura's surname is also written on the coat.

This made him realize that the other party was actually attacking Kimura, but because they had taken the wrong clothes, the other party mistook them for Kimura and thus attacked Mori.

After listening to Xiaolan's story.

Zhiyong was finally relieved. Since it wasn't about killing Mori, he didn't bother with it anymore.

What does it matter to him whether other people live or die?

With great power comes great responsibility.

This can only fool Spider-Man, a clueless and adorable newbie who knows nothing.

"Oh, I see. How is Uncle doing now?"

“He’s fine now. We went to that bar this morning, but the staff only knew the name Kimura and didn’t know him personally. I’ve asked Officer Takagi to investigate, and I think we’ll be able to find Mr. Kimura soon.”

"Hopefully."

That's like finding a needle in a haystack.

Even if you only know one surname, you might not be able to find it.

Even though Mori is fine, we should still check on him.

Zhiyong soon arrived at the Mouri Detective Agency.

……

Chapter 510 There is a third possibility (1/2)

Takagi is already working at the agency.

He is informing Mori of the findings of his investigation.

“I have investigated the phone that sent that text message. The number belongs to Kakumei Telecom. From last night until now, no one with the surname Kimura has been involved in any traffic accidents or other criminal cases.”

Sitting at his desk, Mori said nonchalantly, "Ran, the police are already busy enough. Don't make things worse for them."

"But……."

Mori continued, "Anyway, the thugs just confused me with Kimura, and they've probably figured it out by now, so there's no need to worry about it."

Takagi added, "But what if the assailant doesn't realize he's attacked the wrong person and continues to attack you? That's exactly what Ran is worried about."

Mori said nonchalantly, "Officer Takagi, don't believe everything a child says."

Takagi is very serious about what he does.

He picked up his notebook again and said, "Mr. Mori went to Lemon Bar, which is quite a distance from here."

After listening to what Takagi said.

Mori waved and approached Takagi.

He whispered, "About a week ago, I got a free voucher for this bar's anniversary celebration, 'all-you-can-drink.' When I got there, I discovered that the bar had introduced an extra-spicy cheese, so for a while now, I've become obsessed with the spiciest kind of snack to go with my drinks."

At that moment, the office door opened.

Miwako walked in and said, "Officer Takagi."

Takagi immediately stood up straight and said, "Yes."

She continued, "Just now, we found a witness, a student who lives nearby. He said that when the heavy object fell, he saw a man quickly flee the scene. Although he didn't see his face, he noticed that the assailant had a burn scar on his right elbow."

Takagi asked, "Mr. Mori, can you recall who the perpetrator might be?"

Miwako added, "We investigated the crime scene, but it was very clean, and we didn't find any useful clues there."

Mori said, "In that case, the only way to find the culprits is to find Mr. Kimura."

Xiaolan said angrily, "Dad, how can you say it's none of your business? That's going too far."

Mori replied, "I was never Kimura."

This left everyone speechless.

However, just now...

Zhiyong had only listened casually and had no intention of helping.

But then he heard Maori say that he had received a free voucher for the bar's anniversary celebration, an all-you-can-drink event.

If it's Xiaolan.

Na Zhiyong had complete faith in it.

After all, Ran's luck is off the charts, but Mori gets a free invitation to the anniversary celebration.

This was something Zhiyong simply couldn't believe.

That's exactly what I meant.

There is no free lunch.

If so, it's either a trap or a snare.

Zhiyong thought about it carefully.

Based on current evidence, the reason Mori was attacked was because he mistakenly took Mr. Kimura's coat.

He took off his coat because he ate the super spicy cheese that the bar offered.

Nothing exists in isolation.

If this is a conspiracy, then it makes sense.

Zhiyong then said, "Uncle, based on the current situation, there are three possibilities."

Miwako asked, "What three?"

Zhi Yong explained, "The first possibility is that the wrong person took the wrong coat, so the criminal mistook me for someone else, and they may have realized it by now."

Miwako nodded and said, "That's possible. If that's the case, the only way to understand the situation is to find Mr. Kimura."

Zhiyong nodded and said, "That's right. The second possibility is what Officer Takagi just mentioned: perhaps the assailant didn't realize he had attacked the wrong person."

Mori said, "That's impossible. Unless I look exactly like Mr. Kimura, how could the thug not have realized that he killed the wrong person?"

Zhiyong added, "Therefore, there is a third possibility: the criminal originally intended to kill Uncle Mori, but if he had killed Uncle Mori directly, the police could have quickly found the real culprit by investigating his interpersonal relationships. That's why we have this Mr. Kimura."

Miwako said in surprise, "You mean Mr. Kimura is an imposter, just a smokescreen by the criminals? If that's the case, it makes sense. If Mr. Mori is killed, the police will think that the criminals mistook him for someone else, so it was a case of mistaken identity and they won't investigate anyone who had a grudge against Mr. Mori."

Zhi Yong shook his head and said, "That's right, but we have too few clues right now. This is only one possibility, but if this is the case, then this bar is very suspicious."

Miwako asked in confusion, "A bar? Why do you say that?"

Zhiyong explained, "While I don't mean to belittle Uncle Hao, the chances of him getting a free invitation are extremely slim."

Mori said with dissatisfaction, "Zhiyong, what are you saying? I got a free invitation ticket, why is that impossible?"

Zhiyong ignored him and continued, "The reason he took the wrong jacket is because he took it off. Why did he take it off? It's because the bar launched a new super spicy cheese. After eating the super spicy cheese, he got so hot that he took off his jacket."

Miwako nodded and said, "That's right. Although these are all small things, when you put them together, they form a conspiracy against Mr. Mori. Moreover, it mainly focuses on the Lemon Bar. It seems that this bar is very suspicious, and we need to investigate it."

Mori also said, "Now that you've said that, I also feel like someone is plotting against me. But if that's the case, is that Mr. Kimura really a fake?"

Zhiyong also said, "I don't know, so we need to split up and investigate in two groups. One group will continue to investigate Mr. Kimura to see if we can find him. The other group will investigate the bar and also investigate whether any of Uncle Mori's enemies have been released from prison. If not, then we will have to investigate the family members, which will be very troublesome."

Miwako nodded and said, "Yes, if it's just investigating people who have been released from prison, that should be easy. But if we have to investigate all the criminals and their families arrested by Mr. Mori, then the workload will be enormous."

Zhiyong replied, "Then investigate other things first. If there are no more clues, then investigate the family members."

Miwako also said, "There's nothing we can do now. Hopefully, there's something wrong with the bar, or the thugs are among the people who have been released from prison."
