Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

The service staff member, Junzo Nanshan, remained silent until this moment.

He said, "How about this, I'll go and call Ms. Touma over."

Richard stopped him, saying, "Wait, let's go together. I think she probably doesn't know yet that we've already solved the case here."

Edward added, "Great! That would be a lot of fun!"

Although Edward is a very good detective in Los Angeles, he is only seventeen years old, so he still has a lot of childish tendencies.

For everyone.

There are no further instructions at the moment.

Everyone was also preparing to go to Megumi Toma to see if there were any clues.

Having reached an agreement, they headed towards Touma Megumi's room.

They arrived at Touma Megumi's door.

Richard, leading the way, nodded to everyone with a mischievous smile on his face.

He pressed the doorknob and slowly opened the door.

It was only half open just now.

When everyone saw what was inside the room, they were all surprised.

Inside the room.

Megumi Touma lay face down on the table like a wax figure, with a short sword stuck in her back.

In her right hand, she held two billiard balls, just like a wax figure, a green number six and a red number three.

This is almost a repeat of the wax figure murder case.

The blood flowing from her back indicated that this was not a game, but a real murder.

"Ms. Touma".

"How is this going?"

"She was really killed?"

Kenjiro Akechi said, "Mr. Nanshan, the night of suspense has come to an end. Please invite Mr. Redram over."

Nanzan Shunzo was covered in sweat and stammered, "Well... actually, Lord Redram isn't in the castle."

Kindaichi asked in confusion, "But didn't we hear his voice?"

Junzo Nanzan hurriedly explained, "Well... actually, that was just a recording I played. It was pre-recorded, and I just played it according to the occasion."

Mingzhi Jianwu solemnly said, "Since Redram isn't here, let's call the police first. We can handle the situation more thoroughly once they arrive. Mr. Nanshan, go and make the call."

Nanshan Junzo said nervously, "This... I can't make a phone call. There aren't any phones or communication devices in this castle."

Maki asked in surprise, "How can we contact the outside world like this?"

Tagikawa said, "Didn't we all bring our cell phones with us when we came? Mr. Nanzan, please take out our cell phones."

Nanzan Shunzo hurriedly led everyone to a room, but when he opened the drawer...

"How could this happen? My phone is gone! I made sure I put it inside!"

"how so."

Mingzhi Jianwu then said, "Since we can't make a phone call, let's go out and drive to the village at the foot of the mountain, and call the police from there."

"There's no other way now."

"Yes."

Nanshan Junsan hurriedly said, "Then I'll go and lower the suspension bridge now, and we'll go to the village at the foot of the mountain to call the police."

The group of people hurriedly ran out.

Only Zhiyong and Xiao Ai walked slowly behind.

Ai asked in confusion, "You don't seem to be in a hurry?"

Zhi Yong replied, "I said before, the name 'Rydram' reversed means murder. Now that one person is dead, my reasoning is correct. And Rydram prepared for this for four days and three nights; if it was just to kill one person, he wouldn't have needed so much time."

……

Chapter 525 The Castle Gates Are Sealed

After listening to what Zhiyong said.

Ai asked, "Do you think that Reedram will kill someone again?"

Zhiyong nodded and said, "Yes, and as I said before, as long as Conan and Kindaichi are both around, a case will occur on either of their trips. With Kindaichi around, there won't just be one case. So, you should be prepared."

Ai asked in confusion, "You don't seem nervous at all?"

Zhiyong said strangely, "Why should I be nervous? The murderer won't kill me. Besides, he can't kill me, so why should I care? Let him do whatever he wants."

Xiao Ai was speechless after hearing what Zhiyong said, so she didn't ask any more questions.

It's pouring rain outside now.

The group braved the torrential rain to reach the main gate.

That's when they discovered that the drawbridge at the gate couldn't be lowered at all.

The mechanism for activating the drawbridge above the gate has been entangled in iron chains.

Ai glanced at Zhiyong's completely indifferent expression.

Zhiyong already knew about this.

Because he had already used the map function before and seen the situation here.

He simply didn't take it to heart.

Nanzan Shunzo exclaimed in surprise, "How could this be?"

Kindaichi pointed to the side of the gate and said, "Look!"

There were some broken cell phones lying on the ground next to the gate.

After a moment of surprise, Kengo Akechi had recovered.

He calmly said, "It seems that this was a premeditated murder. We are now completely cut off from the outside world."

Tagikawa asked in shock, "Why? How could this happen?"

Kengo Akechi replied, "That's a question for Mr. Redram."

Now this has happened.

No one wanted to stay, but now the gate was sealed off.

They simply cannot get out through the main gate normally.

Therefore, they wanted to find out if there were any hidden passages inside the castle.

It's just a real shame.

They braved the torrential rain and searched every part of the castle, but they couldn't find the secret passage.

In the end, everyone was disappointed.

Everyone was caught in the rain, so they went to take a shower and change their clothes first.

They then reunited.

“We searched everywhere, but we couldn’t find any other passage.”

"We didn't find any secret passages or hidden rooms inside the castle."

"We're really stuck here now."

"How could this happen?"

"How despicable! Why would Redram do such a thing?"

Zhiyong scoffed, "What Redram? That's just a fake name."

Bando Kusaburo asked in confusion, "Redram is a fake name, how did you know?"

Zhi Yong replied, "The English name 'Redram', when reversed, means murder, doesn't it?"

Maki asked in confusion, "The other way around."

He took a pen.

He wrote "REDRUM" on the glass and then reversed the letters.

After seeing the results.

Everyone was very surprised.

Kengo Akechi also said, "It really is MURDER. As expected, it means murder. This must be a fake name. Otherwise, who would choose such a name?"

Kindaichi also said, "Yes."

Zhiyong added, "When I came here, I felt that the name was a bit familiar. I thought about it carefully and then I found out the problem. At the time, I thought it was because it was a night of suspense, so the organizer specially chose such a name. Now I know that this was a planned murder."

Edward added, "Ms. Touma is a detective. Is it because she made an enemy of the case organizer that he went to such lengths to kill her?"

Jin Tian nodded and said, "Maybe, but now it seems that the murderer is very likely among us."

Bando Kusaburo shouted, "What do you mean by this? You're saying the murderer who killed Touma is among us?"

Zhiyong also said, "This guess is quite accurate. Now this castle is like a huge secret room, and the only people in this castle are us."

Kenjiro Akechi also said, "Yes, there are no secret passages in the castle. The murderer must be inside the castle now. However, when we searched just now, we didn't find anyone other than us. This means that one of us is Ridram."

Now that Kindaichi, Tomoyuki, and Akechi have all come to agree on this matter, everyone else has come to believe it as well.

After all, among the crowd.

Their reasoning abilities have been recognized by everyone.

Kindaichi asked, "Mr. Nanzan, you should know what Redram really looks like, right?"

Nanzan Shunzo hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I don't know. In fact, I have never seen what Lord Redram looks like."
