Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

The girl was already heavily pregnant.

It's only for the later payments.

Masao Nishimura had a conflict with the client and accidentally seriously injured the client.

Therefore, he was imprisoned for several years.

After giving birth, the girl was unable to raise the child, so she entrusted the child to one of her relatives.

A few years ago.

That relative got sick and died.

Before she died, she told him about the child's background.

After learning about his origins, Hideyoshi Nishimura was very excited and wanted to go to Tokyo to find his father.

After a period of searching.

When Hideyoshi Nishimura found Masao Nishimura, Masao Nishimura already had porphyria, and his eldest son, Hidekazu Nishimura, also had porphyria.

In order to prevent the family line from dying out, Masao Nishimura hurriedly adopted this son.

But not long after that.

Masao Nishimura and Hidekazu Nishimura both died from porphyria.

After listening to the introduction.

Mori said, "In that case, Chiyuki's deduction is quite correct. Nishimura Hideyoshi watched his father and brother suffer and die one after another from porphyria. This made him fear death and caused him to hallucinate. Because there was a problem with his blood, he hoped that by drinking blood, he could avoid suffering the same fate as his father and brother."

Inspector Megure added, "Yes, now that it's been proven that such a person exists, our current task is to find this Nishimura Hideyoshi."

Zhiyong asked, "Inspector Megure, have you investigated the mental hospital?"

Inspector Megure nodded and said, "Takagi is conducting the investigation, and I believe it will be completed soon."

As they were talking.

His phone rang.

Inspector Megure picked up the phone, and upon hearing that it was Takagi calling, he put the call on speakerphone.

"...This person is named Nishimura Hideyoshi. Judging from the photo in the file, he looks exactly like the portrait drawn by Tomoyuki, and he also looks exactly like Nishimura Hidekazu. A year ago, he was diagnosed with severe bipolar disorder and paranoia. He had also attempted to harm someone and was sent to a mental hospital for compulsory treatment."

"The hospital has tried various treatments, but there has been no improvement. Furthermore, Hideyoshi Nishimura does not believe that he has a mental illness. He believes that he has vampire disease, also known as porphyria. However, the hospital has examined him and found that there is nothing wrong with his blood, but he himself does not believe it."

"Because he tried to hurt people and suck blood several times, he was put in solitary confinement by the hospital six months ago. After that, he cooperated very well with the treatment. Three months ago, the hospital confirmed that he had recovered and discharged him."

Inspector Megure asked, "Do you know his whereabouts now?"

Takagi replied, "I don't know. The hospital's records have Nishimura Hideyoshi's address. I contacted the local police station before, but he went home once three months ago and hasn't been back since. I don't know where he lives now."

Inspector Megure nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Please retrieve Nishimura Hideyoshi's file as soon as possible."

Hanging up the phone.

He then added, "Just as Brother Sato said, Nishimura Hideyoshi does not have porphyria. It's just that after the shock of his father and brother's deaths, he has come to believe that he has the disease."

Zhiyong nodded and said, "From what Gao Mu just said, he already had this plan to kill and take blood when he was locked up by the hospital half a year ago. He is cooperating with the hospital's treatment, probably in order to be discharged as soon as possible."

Mori also said, "Yes, it seems that although he has mental problems, his thinking is very rational. Therefore, his process of killing and taking blood is very organized, and he also avoids surveillance during the crime."

Xiaolan also said, "I really didn't expect that the so-called vampires are just suffering from a blood disease. However, the onset of this porphyria is the same as the description of vampires in the book."

Conan said, "Perhaps in ancient times, in the legends of vampires, they also contracted porphyria from drinking blood."

Ran and Conan will be here.

This is because in the past.

For the safety of children, parts of the case have been released, and the photo of the perpetrator has also been published, with a nationwide manhunt issued.

Therefore, there was no need to hide it anymore, so Ran and Conan went into the conference room.

Xiao Lan added, "I just didn't expect that Zhi Yong would have figured out the killer's situation in such a short time, and even drawn a portrait of the killer. This criminal profiling technique is so amazing."

Zhi Yong shook his head and said, "This is just one method of solving cases, and it is not an all-powerful method. If the information obtained is incomplete or not thorough, the results may be completely different. Therefore, it may lead to the wrong direction of the investigation and allow the murderer to escape the law. In fact, this method of criminal investigation is not yet very mature."

Xiao Lan nodded and said, "I see. But thankfully, you were there this time, which is why we were able to identify the culprit so quickly."

Conan said with great satisfaction, "We haven't caught the culprit yet. Besides, using such immature investigative methods in a case like this could have serious consequences if we're not lucky."

He noticed Conan's jealous expression.

Zhiyong was too lazy to bother with him.

Only Mori, who was standing to the side, heard it.

He walked over with a smug grin and tapped Conan on the head with a "Duang."

"It hurts."

Mori said unhappily, "If you know it hurts, then don't come here to cause trouble. Everyone is busy catching the murderer right now. What are you doing here? If you want to cause trouble again, then get out of here."

Conan quickly shut up and had no choice but to back down.

otherwise.

But there are times when he suffers.

……

Chapter 573 The murderer has been taken down

Seeing Conan's cowardly appearance made Zhiyong smile slightly.

This guy is so boring.

Regarding this case...

For reasons of secrecy, Conan did not participate in the intrusion.

Although Conan secretly listened to some case information through a listening device, while Conan was thinking, Zhiyong had already provided his analysis.

In every case.

Whenever Zhiyong is present, Conan rarely contributes to the deduction.

Although Conan has gotten a little used to it.

But it also made him very unwilling.

However, there was nothing that could be done about it.

This time.

Hearing Xiaolan praise Zhiyong made him feel uneasy.

He was just saying it casually, wanting to cause Zhiyong some trouble and make him feel better.

I just didn't expect it to backfire.

Seeing Zhiyong smile made him even more annoyed, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The Conan incident was just a minor episode.

After all, everyone is currently working hard to track down Hideyoshi Nishimura.

at this time.

Zhiyong's phone rang.

He took it out and looked at it.

It turned out to be Ai Haibara calling.

The call was connected.

He asked, "Ai, I'm sorry, things aren't over yet. I need a little more time before I can go back."

Ai's soft voice came through the phone.

"I understand. Have you caught the culprit in that vampire case you were looking for?"

Zhiyong replied, "We've identified the murderer, but we don't know where he is yet. The police are searching for him as quickly as possible."

“I’ve heard you mention some case details before, and I’ve also seen the police’s wanted poster. Right now, there’s a man lying on the ground in front of me who looks just like the person on the wanted poster.”

"what?"

Zhiyong's voice suddenly rose.

This drew everyone's attention to him.

Zhiyong noticed and hurriedly whispered, "What happened?"

Ai said calmly, "It's nothing. I went to the supermarket to buy some things, and on my way back, he suddenly grabbed me. However, I had a mist that I had developed on me, so I knocked him out directly, and now he's lying in front of me."

Zhiyong was unaware that while Xiao Ai was speaking, she kicked the man hard in the groin.

After all, back then...

After hearing Zhiyong explain how the murderer drew Sakura's blood, Ai became very angry.

Now that she's encountered this opportunity and even managed to defeat it, how could she possibly let it go?

Zhiyong was unaware of this, but upon hearing that Xiao Ai might have caught the culprit...

He hurriedly said, "Xiao Ai, stay away from him, lest he wake up."

Although Zhiyong also knew this.

The kind of fog that Ai is researching is so dense that even specially trained personnel cannot stay awake.

But he was still afraid that Ai would get hurt.

Miwako was called.

He didn't tell anyone, and the two drove away.

The address Xiao Ai gave was in an alley not far from their villa.

When Zhiyong and the other person arrived.

A man lies on the ground.
