Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Chapter 522 The Beginning of the Incident

Everyone nodded in agreement with what Zhiyong said.

At that moment, thunder rumbled outside the window, and torrential rain poured down.

Kindaichi patted his stomach and said, "Wow, the food tonight was really good, I'm so full."

Miyuki said softly, "Aichi, don't be so rude."

Kindaichi smiled and then said, "I know. By the way, I noticed that earlier."

As he spoke, he pointed to a portrait on the wall not far away and said, "That portrait looks just like Miss Maria."

Maria listened, then just smiled and said nothing.

Miyuki looked at the portrait and said, "It really is! You could say it's exactly the same."

Zhiyong replied, "Maria is probably a descendant of the portrait, so it's not strange that they look the same."

Miyuki exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"

Maria just smiled and didn't answer.

Kengo Akechi said, "Now that we've eaten and have nothing to do, how about we play a game of pool?"

Bando Kyusaburo complained, "Why are we playing pool at a time like this? We're not here to play around. When are we going to start the deduction game?"

Megumi Touma laughed and said, "What does it matter? The game will definitely start soon. But playing a game of billiards in this spare time is a good idea."

Tagikawa wiped her mouth with a napkin and said, "Thank you for the treat. However, after dinner, it would be a good idea for everyone to play a game of billiards together."

Kaneda got up to leave.

Miyuki called out to him, "Ah-ichi, aren't you going to play?"

Kindaichi waved his hand and said, "I think I'll pass. I don't understand the rules, and it would be too much trouble to learn them. I'll go take a shower first."

Miyuki called out, "Aichi."

Kindaichi didn't turn around and left directly.

Miyuki said angrily, "Honestly, can't you stop being so willful and stop acting alone?"

Except for Kindaichi, everyone else stayed to play billiards.

When it was Miyuki's turn.

She began, "Um... I've never played billiards before."

Kenjiro Akechi smiled and said, "It's alright, it's actually very simple. I'll teach you how to play."

When it was Miyuki's turn...

Kenjiro Akechi took a yellow and white billiard ball and said, "This is the number nine ball. The rules are very simple: whoever pockets the number nine ball wins."

Miyuki, holding the cue stick, said, "The rules are indeed very simple, but can I learn them?"

Megumi Touma smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll definitely be able to learn it. Have confidence in yourself."

Everyone played until after 11 o'clock, and nothing happened, so they all went to rest.

Zhiyong also took Xiao Ai back to the room.

He said, "Get some rest. Something might happen tonight."

Ai asked doubtfully, "Do you think a case will happen here tonight?"

Zhi Yong shrugged and said, "Yes, otherwise, why would they use a castle worth 200 million yuan as the final reward?"

Ai asked, "Aren't you going to stop it?"

Zhiyong also asked, "Why try to stop it? Besides, the person who died wasn't a good person either."

Ai asked in confusion, "How did you know?"

Zhiyong simply smiled mysteriously at the question.

Actually, once inside the castle...

For safety reasons.

He immediately activated the map function, so he already had some understanding of the situation in the shadows.

For example, before dinner.

Megumi Touma, Richard Anderson, and Kuzaburo Bando once gathered together.

"This is troublesome. I didn't expect the police to be here for this Night of Suspense."

"However, we have no way out now. No matter what, we must get our hands on this castle so that we can bury everything in darkness, including our past."

On the other side.

Tagikawa's eyes were filled with hatred, a stark contrast to her appearance just moments before.

On the table in her room, there was a pistol and a dagger.

Inside Kengo Akechi's room.

Kengo Akechi was looking at a diary, but inside the diary were several photos.

Among the photos are three people: Megumi Toma, Richard Anderson, and Kuzaburo Bando.

This gave Zhiyong a rough guess.

Because he had not seen the so-called Reidram in the castle before.

Zhiyong's name, "REDRUM" reversed, becomes "MURDER".

This means that Reedram was among the participants.

From Takigawa Ho's expression and the weapons she had prepared, Zhiyong understood.

This Tagigawa Ho might be Redram.

Of course, this is just speculation.

However, whether it is true or not, it has no impact on him.

Now Ai is asking.

However, he simply wouldn't reveal his abilities, so of course he wouldn't say so.

Inside the room.

There is only one bed.

Ai was naturally unwilling to be with Tomoyuki, so Tomoyuki had no choice but to sleep on the floor.

It happened shortly after Zhiyong fell asleep.

"what!"

A woman's scream reached his ears.

Ai was also awakened.

She asked, "I just heard a woman scream."

Zhiyong has already checked the map; it's Meixue screaming.

Because he saw a person lying face down on the pool table inside the entertainment room, with a short knife stuck in their back.

This is just a wax figure of Megumi Touma.

However, Megumi Touma herself had already been killed.

Before he even rested, Zhiyong already knew that something was bound to happen tonight.

Therefore, before going to sleep, he had already told Avril that if she found a ghost, she could simply have the space collect it directly.

I originally thought the body wouldn't be discovered until tomorrow morning.

But I didn't expect that.

They were discovered in the middle of the night.

This prevented him from getting a proper rest.

If he doesn't go, he will be considered a major suspect.

After listening to what Xiao Ai said, Zhi Yong said, "I heard it too. Since we've been woken up, let's go see what happened."

Ai nodded and said, "Okay."

Before going to sleep.

Zhiyong mentioned that something might happen tonight, but Xiao Ai didn't quite believe it.

She didn't think she would be so unlucky as to encounter a case just by participating in an event.

But now that she doesn't believe it, it's too late.

She got up somewhat reluctantly.

……

Chapter 523 The Wax Figure Murder Case

The two got up and walked towards the side.

at this time.

Ahead of them, there were several other people running.

The two followed behind and went to the recreation room in the basement.

After hearing screams.

Now everyone in the castle has gathered here.

On the pool table, a wax figure lies prone, with a short knife stuck in its back.

"Touma-san!"
