Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Chapter 61 Xiaolan was attacked

Zhi Yong just finished speaking in a low voice.

As expected, Ota Masaru walked up to Ran and said, "Shall we go for a walk outside together?"

"Thank you, but it's raining outside, and I don't want to go out," Xiaolan said politely.

Ota Katsu took a few more steps and got very close to Ran.

Xiao Lan had no choice but to take a few steps back, which led her to the wall.

Ota Masaru placed his left hand on the wall and pinned Ran against it, saying, "What does it matter? Isn't it more romantic to take a walk in the rain?"

Zhiyong saw Ota Katsuya daring to pin Xiaolan against the wall.

This made him unhappy.

Zhiyong walked straight over, grabbed his left hand on the wall, and used some force.

"what."

This made Katsutoshi Ota grimace in pain.

Zhiyong stared at him and said coldly, "Want to go for a walk in the rain? Do you want me to go with you?"

Seeing the look in Tomoyuki's eyes, Ota Katsumi said in fright, "No need, no need, I can go for a walk by myself."

After saying that, he immediately left the villa.

Conan has always disliked Chiyuki, but this time Chiyuki's actions made him secretly very pleased.

Zhiyong smiled slightly and said, "Yuanzi, it seems your plan to woo handsome guys won't work this time."

Sonoko said somewhat dejectedly, "Oh well, there are plenty of handsome guys out there, I'm sure I'll meet someone I like."

Zhiyong joked again, "Look how handsome Conan is! Why don't you consider a husband-training plan and mold Conan into your own type?"

"A husband-training plan?"

Sonoko blinked at Conan, which startled him so much that he took a few steps back.

She said jokingly, "Never mind, Conan has grown up, and I'm already old."

As she spoke, she looked at Zhiyong and said, "I never realized before, Zhiyong, that you're so handsome."

Zhiyong had actually noticed this as well.

Zhiyong was not bad-looking, but he was sickly since childhood.

Although not pale and emaciated, she was still very thin.

After Zhiyong transmigrated, his body, which was congenitally deficient, was repaired by the space.

As a result, Zhiyong's health has improved over the past six months, and he has grown a few centimeters taller.

After being strengthened, Zhiyong's hidden physical ailments were completely eliminated, his appearance became healthier, and he grew taller.

Zhiyong was originally only 1.6 meters tall, but now he is 1.73 meters tall.

Although he's not very tall, Zhiyong's body is still growing, and I believe he can grow even taller.

Zhi Yong pretended to toss his hair in a very flamboyant manner and said, "Of course, I was born with natural beauty. I'm the kind of hidden gem. But a gem is a gem. Even if its brilliance is temporarily hidden, it will always shine."

Upon hearing this, Sonoko looked like she was about to vomit.

Zhiyong feigned surprise and said, "Wow, you're pregnant? Whose is it?"

"What's done?" Sonoko didn't understand.

Zhiyong was utterly helpless.

People don't understand what it means, so it becomes an incredibly lame joke.

Zhiyong had no choice but to pretend to be pregnant.

Sonoko finally understood and said angrily, "Chiyu, I never expected you to become so bad."

Zhiyong sighed helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. Women don't love men who aren't a little bad. Look at me, I used to be so honest, but I didn't even have a girlfriend. In this world, if you can't change the rules, you have to adapt to them."

Xiao Lan smiled and said, "Zhiyong has indeed matured now."

Zhiyong shook his head and said, "You can't be immature. As you grow up, you'll not only have to support yourself, but also your wife and children..."

"You have a wife and children?" Sonoko asked in surprise.

"I'm talking about the future, the future, understand?"

Zhiyong rolled his eyes at Yuanzi and pretended to be dead, ignoring her.

"Why don't we go for a walk? Since we can't pick up any good guys, let's just have some fun on our own," Sonoko suggested.

“Great! Taking a walk in the rain in this woods would be lovely,” Xiaolan chimed in.

With these two beauties speaking up, Zhiyong and Conan had no right to object.

The four of them strolled through the woods, each holding an umbrella.

If he were with his lover, Zhiyong would be even more satisfied.

The group chatted.

Sonoko then teased Ran about Shinichi Kudo again.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning illuminated the entire sky.

Xiaolan shuddered upon hearing the thunder, yelled, "It's thundering!" and threw down her umbrella before running outside.

Sonoko then said, "Oh no, I forgot that Ran is afraid of thunder."

Zhiyong picked up Xiaolan's umbrella, closed it, and immediately ran off, saying to Yuanzi, "I'm going to find Xiaolan. Be careful."

Finding someone in the woods is not easy.

"Sonoko, where are you? Answer me if you're nearby."

After Xiaolan ran out, she came to her senses and realized that Sonoko and the others were not around, so she became a little nervous.

"Sonoko, where are you?"

"Sonoko, Sato, Conan."

Xiaolan didn't realize that her shouts had also attracted the attention of a demon nearby.

Zhiyong heard Xiaolan's voice.

However, in the forest, the sound was blocked by too many trees and reflected many times.

Even Zhiyong couldn't determine the exact direction after hearing it.

At that moment, a bandaged man holding an axe appeared behind Xiaolan.

Xiaolan opened the door haphazardly and saw the bodies of several boys.

The murderer, Ryoichi Takahashi, feared that Ran would discover his physical issues, and therefore harbored murderous intent towards her.

But at that moment, because of the sound of the rain, Xiaolan did not notice that there was someone standing behind her.

Ryoichi Takahashi got behind Ran and swung his axe at her.

Xiaolan was extremely nervous because she was scared.

Therefore, they heard the sound of the axe striking.

Without thinking twice, she immediately dodged the axe.

After dodging the attack, Xiaolan turned around and saw the bandaged man.

Xiaolan thought she had encountered a ghost, and was so frightened that she sat down on the ground.

Zhiyong happened to run here.

After assessing the situation, Zhiyong threw the umbrella in his hand like a javelin.

Although the shot hit the bandaged man, it didn't seem to cause him much damage.

Upon seeing Zhiyong arrive, the bandaged man stopped what he was doing, turned around, and left.

Zhiyong did not chase after the bandaged man.

Anyway, Zhiyong already knows who the bandaged man is, so there's no problem dealing with him later.

Zhiyong stepped forward and helped Xiaolan up, asking, "Xiaolan, are you alright?"

"Thank you, Sato. I'm fine. Thank you so much," Ran said gratefully.

At this critical moment, Zhi Yong absolutely cannot take credit for himself.

He comforted her, "Xiao Lan, don't be afraid. That was definitely a person in disguise. Your karate skills are so strong. If you could use even half of your usual strength, you would have already defeated him."

"Isn't that a ghost?" Xiaolan asked nervously.

“Absolutely not. If he were a ghost, we would both be dead by now. But he left immediately upon seeing me, which proves that he was afraid he was no match for the two of us, and that’s why he left,” Zhiyong explained.

Xiaolan was about to answer.

Not far away, another scream rang out.

Zhiyong pulled Xiaolan along and said, "Let's go see what happened."

"Ok."

After realizing that what had attacked her earlier wasn't a ghost, Xiaolan slowly recovered.

……

Chapter 62 Unexpected Death

The screams they heard just now came from less than ten meters away.

Because Zhiyong was concerned about Xiaolan, he didn't notice what was happening around him.

Based on the blood on the bandaged man's axe, Zhiyong initially thought that Ikeda Chikako had been killed beforehand.

But when Zhiyong and his companion ran to the place where the sound came from...
