Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Therefore, it certainly cannot be handed over to others casually.

Their phones were also stored inside the space.

The phone I have now is just a substitute; it doesn't contain any information.

We collected the phones.

Nanshan Junsan said, "Now we will arrange accommodations for everyone. When your name is called, please come forward to get the activity rules and the key to your room."

“Mr. Akechi, Mr. Kindaichi, Mr. Sato, Ms. Takigawa, Ms. Nanase, and Ms. Haibara, the six of you live in the East Tower.”

“Mr. Bando, Mr. Maki, Mr. Richard, Mr. Edward, Ms. Toma, and Miss Maria, you six live in the West Tower.”

After reading the list.

Everyone also received the rules for this night of suspense, as well as the keys to their own rooms.

Nanzan Junzo then said, “Now I will take you to your lodgings. Those of you staying in the East Tower, please follow me. Those of you staying in the West Tower, please wait a moment. After I have settled the guests in the East Tower, I will take you to your lodgings.”

Everyone followed behind Junzo Nanshan, walking up the dark steps.

Miyuki Nanase asked, "Isn't this supposed to be a theme park open to the public? Why aren't there any electric lights?"

Kindaichi laughed and said, "Maybe it's just to create a scary atmosphere. Doesn't that feel more real?"

Zhiyong replied, "There should have been electric lights here."

Nanase Miyuki asked, "How did you know?"

Kenjiro Akechi said calmly, “The island nation’s fire protection law stipulates that there are strict regulations on the number of building materials, fire extinguishers, and smoke detectors in buildings such as theaters and department stores where a large number of people gather. This Bardo Castle was originally intended to be a theme park open to tourists. Using candles and oil lamps for lighting here is not allowed.”

Zhiyong also said, "It must be for this night of suspense that the organizers turned off the power. Using candles and kerosene lamps for lighting in such an ancient castle will create an even more atmospheric atmosphere."

Nanase Miyuki said timidly, "Yes, just being here now feels terrifying."

Kindaichi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. I won't let you get hurt. Trust me."

Hearing Kindaichi's words surprised both Tomoyuki and Tomoyuki.

Although Zhiyong knew some things about Kindaichi, he never expected that he would say such a thing.

Nanase Miyuki was deeply moved upon hearing this and said, "Ichi, I believe you."

Nima.

It was so unexpected; I was suddenly bombarded with a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of

……

Chapter 521 A sumptuous dinner

The two of them are so unabashedly showing their affection.

Zhiyong really wanted to say something to them.

Showing off your love too much will lead to a quick breakup.

He glanced at Xiao Ai, who was being held by the hand.

Unfortunately, she's just a little girl right now.

During their casual conversation, they arrived at their accommodation on the third floor.

After standing still, Nanshan Junzo said, "These are your rooms. Each room has its own name on the door, and the key to each room has already been given to you."

Nanase Miyuki looked at it and said, "Are we really going to sleep here? This place is practically a vampire's dwelling place!"

After seeing the environment here, it really is just as Miyuki Nanase said, it really is no different from a haunted house.

Junzo Nanzan did not say anything about what everyone was saying.

He simply said, "Now everyone can rest. Dinner will begin at seven o'clock. Your rooms have been prepared with the clothes you will wear for dinner. Please change into them then."

After he finished speaking, he left and went downstairs.

The others also went to their own rooms.

Zhiyong led Xiao Ai into the room.

After looking around the room, Ai said, "This place is really rudimentary. Calling it a castle is more like calling it a prison. I really don't know how they lived in this place in ancient times. I have no interest in this castle anymore. If I lived here, I would probably go crazy."

As soon as Zhiyong entered the room, he immediately activated the map function.

After checking and finding no monitoring equipment.

He then said, "How people lived in ancient times is their business. Anyway, that's all in the past. But for the four days we've been here, we'll be staying in one room."

Ai glanced at Zhiyong and said indifferently, "Hmph, what a beast. I'm just a child now, and you actually want to hurt me."

This left Zhiyong speechless.

Nima.

This cunning little girl hasn't changed at all.

I thought that if her sister were alive, she wouldn't become so extreme and would be more optimistic.

I really didn't expect that.

Zhiyong replied, "Can't you think more positively? The reason I let you live with me isn't what you think."

Ai asked, "What do you want?"

Zhiyong had no choice but to explain, "Judging from the current situation, something bad is likely to happen on this night of suspense. So, we'll stay together; that way, it'll be easier for me to protect your safety."

Ai asked doubtfully, "Is that really true? You already have so many women; you have a history of this."

Zhiyong said speechlessly, "I do have quite a few women, I've never denied that, but I'm not so beastly as to seek out a little girl, am I?"

Ai replied, "Oh, I see. So you like mature women."

Zhiyong patted his forehead and said, "Can we stop talking about this? Now it's your safety issue."

Ai then asked, "Why do you think there's something wrong with this Night of Suspense?"

Zhiyong replied, "Look at the name Liedram."

As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper.

The word "REDRUM" was written on the paper.

He then added, "Look, if you write it backwards, it becomes MURDER, which means murder."

Ai asked doubtfully, "This is a murder code, but we're participating in a Night of Suspense now, so even if it has such a name, it's not suspicious."

Zhiyong explained, "Normally, this wouldn't be anything strange, but with Kindaichi here, things won't be so simple."

"Oh."

Looking at Ai's calm demeanor.

Zhiyong had no choice but to continue, "His death attribute is even stronger than Conan's. If Conan is around, there will definitely be casualties. But if Kindaichi is around, it's not just casualties, but it won't just happen in one place."

Ai looked at Zhiyong and spoke solemnly.

She opened her handbag and calmly took out a small women's handgun from inside.

She shook herself before saying, "Don't worry, I have this protection, nothing will happen."

Zhiyong saw the pistol and said in surprise, "Why are you carrying a pistol? There are police here. It won't be good if they find out. Put it away quickly. I'll protect you here. It's best not to take it out to avoid trouble."

Ai put the pistol back into her bag and said, "Don't worry, I won't take out the pistol unless it's extremely dangerous. My safety here is in your hands."

Tomoyuki was a little taken aback by Ai's quick change of expression.

Women.

Regardless of age, they are all very fickle.

At seven o'clock.

Everyone changed into their new clothes and went inside the restaurant.

I don't know if it was to set the mood.

Everyone's clothes were of European style.

Some were nobles, some were merchants, some were commoners, and some were clowns.

This feels really good.

Regardless of the organizer's motives, the food prepared for this night of suspense was quite plentiful.

Perhaps it's inside an old castle.

This time, we prepared Western-style dinners.

The dining table was already laden with all sorts of food.

Zhiyong also felt hungry.

When everyone started eating.

Miyuki looked around.

She ate and laughed, saying, "The more I look at them, the more I feel that these clothes are perfect for everyone."

Kindaichi said with dissatisfaction, "However, I feel like I'm the only one being treated differently. Why is it that only I am dressed as a clown? This is really upsetting to me."

Miyuki smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? I think you look great in this outfit, A-yi."

Kindaichi said in a low voice, "But we also have to consider other people's feelings."

Bando Kuzaburo also said, "But why are all our costumes the same as the wax figures' costumes? Could it be related to this Night of Suspense?"

When Makoto replied, "Who knows? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Makihito laughed and said, "That's what makes it more fun! The costumes we're wearing might even correspond to our identities. They might even be the roles we'll be playing during this Night of Suspense."

Edward added, "While this is quite interesting, we're not attending a costume party. We should start asking questions sooner so I can acquire ownership of the castle sooner."

Richard smiled and said, "Confidence is good, but blind optimism should not be found in a detective."

Zhi Yong also said, "The organizer has arranged four days, but it won't be a simple matter of creating some problems and letting someone solve them, which would be the end of it. After all, this is not an ordinary reasoning activity. The final reward for the winner is a castle worth two hundred million."
