Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Now that he's back in Tokyo, Zhiyong finally has time to organize these items.

Zhiyong didn't even bother to look at the batch of gold; he simply left it aside.

Anyway, he won't need it for now, so it's not too late to deal with it when he does.

Zhiyong mainly wanted to learn more.

The jewels obtained from the naval cave were primarily items useful for navigating the space.

It has a spatial positioning.

Zhiyong found a red gem the size of a child's fist in one of the boxes.

But this red gemstone is different from a regular ruby, and we don't know what it is.

This greatly surprised Zhiyong.

When the space was first obtained.

In order to identify which substances can become space absorbers.

Besides searching for various minerals, Zhiyong also tried out all kinds of gemstones, such as diamonds, jade, and emeralds, in jewelry stores.

However, no gemstone was found that could allow space to be absorbed.

What's the story behind this red gemstone?

Avril did not offer any explanation for this matter, but simply let Zhiyong figure it out on his own.

After all, the current level of space is too low, and it is not possible to search for the required substances on a large scale.

Regarding this red gemstone.

Zhiyong had no way to get it tested.

Zhiyong can only guess now, perhaps it's like how people mutate.

Some gemstones may have undergone mutations, so some unique gemstones may become the materials needed in space.

This one may have originally been a ruby, but it may have mutated, which is why it was able to be absorbed by space.

Whatever the reason, now that we've found a substance that can be absorbed, we can't let it go.

This red gemstone will likely fetch a hefty price on the market.

But for Zhiyong, a problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

Zhiyong has now come to this world, but he is not short of money.

This time, in particular, they not only received a billion in gold, but also a batch of treasures.

Therefore, no matter the price, Zhiyong would not hesitate to use this red gem.

I originally thought it would take a long time to absorb the red gem.

But to Zhiyong's surprise, it only took half an hour.

The red gemstone's energy was completely absorbed by the space.

To Zhiyong's great regret, the red gemstone turned to ashes after it was absorbed into the space.

The good news is that this red gem provided the space with 4,563 units of energy.

Although I don't know what's so special about this red gemstone.

However, given this example,

Perhaps there are other gems that the space can absorb and transform into the energy it needs.

Kaito Kid is searching for a special gem.

That's why he went around stealing gems.

He will return it if he finds it is not what he needs.

It seems that Zhiyong will need to pay attention to information about Phantom Thief Kid in the future.

Chapter 71 Mountain Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom

The cherry blossoms are in full bloom between April and May.

Xiao Lan suggested going to see the mountain cherry blossoms.

For a while, Zhiyong was busy with the space upgrade project, which prevented him from getting a proper rest.

Just then, Zhiyong heard that Xiaolan and the others were going to see the cherry blossoms, so he went along to relax as well.

While cherry blossoms are common in island nations, mountain cherry blossoms are not so common.

They can only see it from the nearby mountains.

Zhiyong's car is in terrible condition now. It's okay on flat roads, but dangerous on mountain roads.

Kogoro Mouri rented a car, and they set off early in the morning.

Zhiyong plans to buy a car after he gets back, so that it will be more convenient for him to travel in the future.

After all, motorcycles are not convenient for long-distance travel.

The group arrived at the scenic spot on the mountain.

The cherry blossoms are indeed very beautiful.

From a distance, what a beautiful sight of cherry blossoms, like a rosy cloud or a mist!

The white ones resemble a peacock spreading its tail feathers, the red ones are like fire, giving people a warm feeling, and the pale purple ones are as lovely as a delicate girl.

Cherry blossoms fluttered and fell, and they had a great time amidst this beautiful scenery.

Happy times always pass too quickly.

Time flies by unnoticed.

They played until a little after four in the afternoon, then prepared to leave and go home.

However, they encountered a serious problem on the mountain road.

In Kogoro Mouri's family, there is a fine tradition: they are terrible at directions.

Not only is Ran terrible with directions, but Kogoro Mouri also has a severe case of being terrible with directions.

This was also Zhiyong's first time visiting this place.

He had gotten up a little early on the way here, and soon after getting on the bus, he fell asleep.

Kogoro Mouri drove around in the mountains for half a day without finding his way out, and to make matters worse, misfortune struck again.

Not only were they lost, but their rented car also suffered two flat tires.

Their car is currently parked in this forest.

If Zhiyong were alone in this forest, he would feel a little scared.

As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly, and a delayed boat is met with a headwind.

Just then, it started raining again.

Xiao Lan said dejectedly, "Dad, please think of something. We can't be stuck here all night."

Kogoro Mouri said helplessly, "What can we do? Besides, no one lives in this desolate place. We'll just have to wait in the car until tomorrow morning."

Xiao Lan, frightened, said, "I don't want to spend the night here."

Zhiyong could only say, "Xiaolan, there's nothing we can do. My cell phone has no signal here, and the car has had two flat tires. We don't have a spare tire in the car now. But we can look around. Maybe someone who likes peace and quiet has built their house nearby."

In the Conan universe of "The Detective Conan: The Wise and the Brave," many wealthy people like to build villas in this desolate YeWai.

Just then, Conan returned from relieving himself and said, "Uncle, Ran-neechan, there's a temple over there. Let's go there to stay the night."

Xiaolan was overjoyed to hear the news and asked, "Really?"

Without saying much, Kogoro Mouri grabbed his things, locked the car, and headed in the direction Conan pointed.

Sure enough, a temple came into view not far from there.

There is a waterfall next to the temple, which complements the temple and makes the scenery very beautiful.

They walked over together, and when they reached the entrance, they looked up and saw the words "Shanni Temple" written on it.

When Zhiyong saw the name of the temple, a thought suddenly struck him.

Isn't this the legend of the Tengu?

In his past life, when he watched this plot, he felt it was somewhat terrifying.

When the abbot came out, his face, which looked so distorted, resembled a monster.

The real reason for this case dates back two years.

The abbot of Shanni Temple hoped that his granddaughter would marry the heir to a large temple.

He then killed a monk in the temple who was in love with his granddaughter.

The abbot used the legend of the Tengu (a mythical creature).

He used a sophisticated method of murder to create a case that was incomprehensible and impossible for anyone to commit.

The police were unable to uncover any results from this case, and it was ultimately closed as a suicide.

The monk's younger brother also entered the temple in order to find out the truth about his brother's death.

Later, I finally learned the truth.

The monk's brother then used the same method to kill the abbot.

However, he was a bit unlucky, as he happened to run into Kogoro Mouri and Conan, who were staying at his place.

If he hadn't killed in a fit of rage, and had waited until Kogoro Mouri and the others left before committing the murder, he might have been treated as having committed suicide again.

The main gate was not locked.

Zhiyong and his group opened the door and shouted, "Is anyone home?..."

After a few calls, a voice came from behind and asked, "What can I do for you?"
