Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

This is the fifth time Conan has asked Ran this question.

They wandered around in the forest for a long time but still couldn't find the right path.

Now that Zhiyong's body has been enhanced, he has become stronger.

If this had happened when Zhiyong first arrived in this world, his body would probably be completely exhausted after walking for so long.

The three of them walked on helplessly.

Ahead, a villa appeared.

"Ah, look, we found it!" Xiaolan said excitedly, pointing to the villa in front of her.

"We've finally arrived." Zhiyong breathed a sigh of relief.

If he still couldn't find a villa, Zhiyong was tempted to give up and go back immediately.

Conan saw the villa and breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Chapter 59 The Bandaged Man

Looking at the villa in front of me.

Although Zhiyong had some recollection of this villa.

But once you're there, you realize that the villa's location is truly unique.

Zhiyong couldn't understand these wealthy people either.

The villa is located in such a remote area, and the transportation is very inconvenient.

The villa is surrounded by trees on three sides, and a cliff blocks its way in front.

The only way to reach the villa from the front is via a suspension bridge.

There is no cell phone signal here.

If something unexpected really happens, then there will truly be no one to turn to for help.

Zhiyong didn't know if building a villa in this location was a product of the war.

It's not easy to be discovered here, and it's easy to defend but difficult to attack.

It would be virtually impossible to breach the bridge from the front.

Behind the villa is a wooded area.

If something goes wrong, they can calmly evacuate through the woods.

Even if the enemy surrounded the forest from behind, such a large area could not be covered in every aspect.

This allows the homeowner time to leave at their leisure.

But now peace has been restored.

Since you've built villas here, can't you at least fix the roads here too?

This way it's convenient for them too.

Zhiyong was lost in thought.

On the suspension bridge ahead, a person is crossing it and walking towards the villa.

This person is dressed strangely, even on such a hot day.

The man was wrapped up tightly, wearing a large gray robe and a tulip-shaped hat.

Judging from his appearance, he must be the murderer, the bandaged monster.

"I wonder if he's also going to the villa?" Xiaolan asked疑惑地.

Just then, the person in front turned around, revealing a face wrapped in bandages, with only the eyes showing.

It looks just like a mummy.

If you go out at night, this would definitely be scary.

Right now, in this gloomy forest, the sudden appearance of such a person is quite alarming.

The bandaged man saw Zhi Yong and his two companions.

He hurried forward and quickly disappeared into the nearby woods.

When Xiaolan saw that face, she became very nervous and said in a panic, "He's not going to the villa too, is he?"

At this moment, Xiaolan's voice was already trembling slightly.

"I don't think so," Conan stammered.

Zhiyong looked at the bandaged man but didn't say anything.

Xiaolan calmed down for a while before letting out a sigh of relief.

The bandaged man from earlier sent chills down Xiaolan's spine and made her shudder.

Perhaps it was because I had seen too many thrilling stories about suspension bridges in my past life.

Zhiyong felt extremely unsafe walking on the suspension bridge.

The villa was built in this remote location.

The passageway was even converted into a suspension bridge; was this for romance or a thrill?

Aren't they afraid that the suspension bridge might suddenly break while they're walking on it? That would be fatal.

Zhiyong and his two companions arrived at the villa's entrance.

The garden then came out of the villa.

Just as we arrived in front of the villa, Sonoko came out of it.

Sonoko looked as if she hadn't expected it, and said, "Ran, it was so hard to get you here, but you're still late."

"I'm sorry, Sonoko," Ran said apologetically.

"Ran, you didn't get lost again, did you?" Sonoko teased.

"This..." Xiaolan blushed and couldn't speak.

"I knew it." Sonoko rolled her eyes and said, "Chiyu, why don't you know how to lead the way?"

"I've never been here before either. And that map you drew, it was already quite an achievement for us to find it," Zhiyong complained.

This made Sonoko a little embarrassed, as the map she drew was really not very reliable.

Sonoko quickly changed the subject, saying, "Alright, that's enough. Don't stand at the door, come in quickly."

We went inside the house and were in the living room.

Xiaolan looked around and saw that there was no one in the living room.

She asked curiously, "Why is no one here? Haven't they arrived yet?"

"What are you talking about? My sister's friends have already arrived and are resting in their rooms."

Xiaolan asked, "Yuanzi, are there any people who came this time with bandages on their faces?"

Xiaolan was a little nervous about the bandaged man from earlier.

"No, none of the people who came this time were injured," Sonoko replied, puzzled.

"But just now..." Xiaolan paused, then continued, "It might have been someone who lives nearby."

Xiaolan was also a little confused; perhaps it was a facial injury.

Yuanzi paused for a moment, then said casually, "Alright, stop saying such strange things. There are some handsome guys coming this time, which is a perfect opportunity for me to show off my skills and have a romantic love affair surrounded by nature."

Zhiyong truly admired the garden's infatuation with the flowers.

“Sonoko, I don’t think you need to rush.” Zhiyong patted Conan’s head and said, “Look at Conan, he’s a handsome young man. If you just wait a few more years, you can be an older man dating a younger woman.”

"You... Zhiyong, you bastard!" Sonoko was furious.

"Alright, alright, just kidding, don't take it seriously. Besides, Conan is indeed very popular with girls. Am I right, Conan?" Zhiyong said with a smile.

Conan rolled his eyes and his lips twitched involuntarily.

Conan really didn't want to say anything to Zhiyong.

Zhiyong never treated him like a child.

Conan even suspected that Zhiyong already knew that he was Shinichi Kudo.

Of course, he also hoped that Zhiyong would know what he had learned during this period of time.

If we can develop Zhiyong into an ally.

This is extremely advantageous for Conan; he won't feel alone when dealing with the Black Organization.

However, even if Zhiyong knew what Conan was thinking.

Zhiyong wouldn't care.

It's much better to stay hidden in the back and control things; why rush to the front and fight to the death?

"Alright, you should put your luggage in your rooms first. Your rooms are on the second floor; any unoccupied room is fine. I have something to discuss with my sister." After saying this, Sonoko went to find her sister.

Zhiyong thought to himself, "This girl, Yuanzi, is really treating us like family."

While Zhiyong was lost in thought.

Ran and Conan have already arrived on the second floor.

There were no signs on the rooms on the second floor, so it was impossible to tell which rooms were occupied and which were not.

Xiaolan didn't think too much about it and opened the door to the first room directly.

Then, Xiaolan let out a scream.

"I'm sorry, I got the wrong room."

Xiaolan quickly closed the door to the room.

When Xiaolan opened the door, she noticed the person inside was changing clothes.
