Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Even so.

Zhiyong was simply stronger than the average person; there was nothing else different about him.

The ability that Zhiyong is talking about now.

These are all the functions of the space, and even with Zhi Yong's own cultivation of the Xuan Yuan Technique, there hasn't been much progress.

Therefore, even if Ai did the research, it wouldn't bring her much benefit.

Of course, it's not like we won't gain anything at all.

It certainly won't be the outcome she wants.

While the two were talking in hushed tones.

The police officers inside the five-story tower have all come down, and Hideaki Oda's body has also been brought down.

"Officer Yokomizo, according to our investigation, there was no dust inside the five-story pagoda, so we did not find any footprints. When we examined the body, there were no external injuries. The cause of death was compression of the neck."

Inspector Yokomizo asked, "If that's the case, then the deceased was directly strangled by the rope, and that's the cause of his death."

"Yes, based on the condition of the body, we estimate the time of death to be between 3 and 4 a.m. We also went to the hotel and his office to investigate. Around 2 a.m., the hotel receptionist saw Mr. Oda walk past the front desk and leave."

Inspector Yokomizo nodded and said, "Judging from the timeline, the deceased should have left the hotel and gone directly to the scene of the crime. Was a suicide note found at the scene?"

"We haven't found any yet."

While Officer Yokomizo was listening to his subordinate's report.

Zhiyong was listening from the side.

Although he discovered the problem, he wasn't on the five-story tower just now.

Therefore, he couldn't say it out loud.

After all, his abilities were extraordinary, and he didn't want outsiders to know that.

At most, people will know that he has strong reasoning skills and is a very good detective.

"President."

In the distance.

A middle-aged man staggered over.

He immediately knelt down beside Oda Hideaki's body.

He sobbed, "President, how could you be so foolish? If you had just slowed down a little and waited for me, nothing would have happened."

Officer Yokomizo did not recognize the person who came.

He asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

The middle-aged man stood up.

He introduced himself: "Hello, I am the manager of ODA Hotel, and my name is Yosuke Kajimura."

Officer Yokomizo asked, "You didn't come here last night, did you?"

……

Chapter 578 I was scammed too!

Regarding Officer Yokomizo's question.

Yosuke Kajimura nodded and said, "Yes, I went to Tokyo on a business trip last night."

Inspector Yokomizo then asked, "Do you know what reasons Mr. Oda might have had for committing suicide?"

“Well…” Yosuke Kajimura hesitated for a moment before continuing, “Actually, the reason I returned to Tokyo this time is to raise funds. If we can’t raise the funds, by the end of this month our company’s reputation will be damaged for issuing bad checks. I think that’s probably why our president is so troubled.”

After Yosuke Kajimura finished speaking.

Mori said, "That's not right. Last night, when Mr. Oda treated us to dinner, I saw that he was carrying a lot of cash in his wallet!"

Yosuke Kajimura replied, "Yes, our president has always been very proud. Even when he is in trouble, he doesn't want others to see it. Sometimes, he's just putting on a brave face. But last night, because of the temple issue, it ended up in court, which made him lose his composure."

Regarding what Yosuke Kajimura said.

This left Zhiyong very puzzled.

Because he kept emphasizing it.

Hideaki Oda was deeply saddened.

His words implied that Hideaki Oda had suicidal thoughts.

There are no other clues yet.

Therefore, we can only treat Yosuke Kajimura's suspicions as a misconception for the time being.

While Zhiyong was pondering.

Conan suddenly said, "That's strange, why isn't Uncle Oda's wallet on him?"

Officer Yokomizo asked in confusion, "Wallet?"

One of the police officers replied, "We did not find a wallet among his belongings."

Conan added, "That's really strange. Look, Uncle Oda is wearing the same clothes he wore last night when we were eating, but the wallet we saw last night is gone now."

When Mori saw Conan suddenly appear and become active at the crime scene again, he became very angry.

He walked over angrily, grabbed Conan by the back of his collar, and pulled him up.

"Idiot, how could a dying man carry such a large sum of money on him? Didn't I tell you not to wander around the scene? Why didn't you listen?"

Conan hurriedly added, "But, but Uncle Oda's tie clip is also missing, and it's very valuable."

Mori ignored Conan's words and threw him out.

He shouted, "Stop babbling and stop interfering with the adults' investigation."

Conan was thrown out and fell to the ground.

Ran rushed over and helped Conan up.

She then said, "You can't interfere with the adults' investigation."

Regarding Conan's question.

No one cared except for Xiaolan.

Inspector Yokomizo asked with a puzzled look, "Mr. Mori, what's this about the tie clip?"

Mori explained, "Mr. Oda's tie clip was very valuable, with a five-carat diamond set in it, but it seems to be missing now."

Inspector Yokomizo pondered, "In that case, it's possible that Mr. Oda encountered robbers."

Mori replied, "It's less like he encountered robbers and more like he handed over his valuables with both hands. After all, if Mr. Oda had been strangled, he would have struggled and pulled the rope away with both hands, leaving strangulation marks on his hands. But we don't see any such marks on Mr. Oda's hands. If this was a murder, how did the killer transport the body to the Five-Storied Pagoda and hang it up?"

He sighed and said, "If this weren't a suicide, an ordinary person simply couldn't have done it. If we really have to say who the murderer is, then it can only be divine punishment."

"This is retribution."

I heard the sound.

Zhiyong looked back.

The person who spoke was none other than Abbot Dan Hai, whom they had met yesterday.

Along with Tan Hai, there was also a young monk and Yosuke Kajimura.

Dan Hai then loudly proclaimed, "This is the divine punishment for those who are disrespectful."

Officer Yokomizo saw the person who had arrived.

He said, "Hello, I am Officer Yokomizo from Shizuoka Prefecture. May I ask who you are?"

Dan Hai frowned and said, "Can't you tell? I am Dan Hai, the abbot of this temple."

The young monk also said, "I am his son, Chunhai."

Okabe Shigekichi also said, "I am a staff member of the temple. My name is Kajimura Yosuke."

Officer Yokomizo asked, "Where were you three, and what were you doing between 3 and 4 a.m.?"

Chunhai asked, "Why are you asking this? Didn't Oda Hideaki commit suicide?"

Officer Yokomizo shook his head and said, "No, we can't be sure yet. Besides, we've discovered that a large sum of money is missing from the deceased's person."

Dan Hai angrily said, "What do you mean? Are you saying that I, a monk, would steal other people's property?"

Officer Yokomizo hurriedly explained, "No, no, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to hear your alibis for reference."

Dan Hai snorted coldly and said, "Perhaps your purpose is to say that I met that scumbag, but unfortunately at that time, I was reciting scriptures in the main hall."

Yokomizo asked in confusion, "Reciting scriptures? You mean you were still reciting scriptures back then?"

Dan Hai coldly replied, "I have a feeling that the gods are manifesting to punish the wicked."

"God is truly powerful."

After listening to what Dan Hai said, Yokomizo was speechless.

Officer Yokomizo then asked, "And what about you, Harumi?"

Harumi replied, "I was still sleeping. I didn't get up until five o'clock. Not long after, Okabe came running to me in a panic and told me that something had happened here, that Oda Hideaki had died."

Shigekichi Okabe also said, "I was startled at the time, so I immediately called Mr. Mori."

Officer Yokomizo asked in confusion, "Why didn't you call the police first, but instead called Mr. Mori?"

Dan Hai said dismissively, "Because he's that scumbag's subordinate. Back then, he was the one who introduced that scumbag to me."

Okabe Shigekichi hurriedly defended himself, saying, "Master Tankai, I was thinking that if more tourists came to the temple, the temple would also benefit, so I believed what he said. Actually, I was also deceived by him."

Officer Yokomizo asked, "Were you scammed too?"

……

Chapter 579 No evidence found.

After listening to Officer Yokomizo's questions.
