Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

In Zhiyong's view, this was perfectly normal.

No matter what kind of emotion it is, it cannot escape the erosion of time.

When Kogoro Mouri and the others returned, the police had already arrived.

Kogoro Mouri hadn't expected that something like this would happen in just two or three hours.

Several people found it hard to accept.

However, what's done is done, and no matter how much Kogoro Mouri can't accept it, it's already a fact.

After confirming what happened, the police conducted another investigation.

The pistol was not an original, but a replica, and the bullets contained an increased amount of propellant.

Therefore, the police determined that the accident was due to Nakamichi Kazushi's own fault.

Yumi Horikoshi, as a victim, only gave a statement and was not investigated.

Now that this has happened, no one is in the mood to have fun anymore, and the class reunion can no longer take place.

Therefore, everyone ended their journey.

After this, it's likely they won't have another class reunion.

……

Chapter 90 Birthday Party

Even after returning to Tokyo, Horikoshi Yumi did not break off her relationship with Tomoyuki.

The island nation's economy is currently sluggish, and the food company where Yumi Horikoshi works is also laying off employees.

Yumi Horikoshi was among those laid off.

Now, Tomoyuki and Horikoshi Yumi are in a relationship.

Yumi Horikoshi is in trouble, and Tomoyuki will definitely help her.

Therefore, Zhiyong gave Horikoshi Yumi a sum of money so that she could start her own small business.

Zhiyong had no intention of keeping a mistress outside the marriage.

Is it really true that men turn bad when they have money?

It's just the relationship between Chiyu and Horikoshi Yumi.

I wonder how Kogoro Mouri would feel if he found out about this later.

Although Tomoyuki and Horikoshi Yumi were having a heated argument.

But we still need to care about Kogoro Mouri.

After the class reunion, Kogoro Mouri returned to his agency and spent several days there, but he still hadn't recovered.

This incident was a huge blow to Kogoro Mouri.

After all, we've been classmates for so many years.

Kogoro Mouri never imagined that things would turn out this way.

In fact, Zhiyong really wanted to tell Kogoro Mouri that if something like this happened again, he should never bring Conan along.

Otherwise, even a good thing can turn into a bad thing.

Of course, Zhiyong wouldn't say that.

After all, Zhiyong still needs Kogoro Mouri to take Conan on trips everywhere.

Today, Zhiyong came to see Kogoro Mouri again, hoping that he can cheer up soon and take Conan out to cause trouble for people.

When Zhiyong arrived at the agency and was about to open the door, he heard Sonoko's voice.

"...The name Kogoro Mouri is like a god to the members of the Mystery Research Club, and everyone is eager to hear the story told by the famous detective Kogoro Mouri himself. Among those attending is Asami Uchida, a former Miss Tokyo, and a whole host of beautiful women."

"Miss Toto?" Kogoro Mori exclaimed in surprise.

Zhiyong pushed open the door and went in.

Sonoko seemed disappointed and said, "Since Uncle is so busy, we'll just have to give up and not attend this gathering."

Kogoro Mouri coughed a few times and said righteously, "How can that be? I can handle the work-related issues myself. But how can we let those college students with unlimited potential down? They are the hope of the country. I will attend as your guardian."

After hearing Kogoro Mouri's agreement.

Zhiyong saw Sonoko make a V sign at Ran.

What are they trying to do? Are they conspiring to scam Kogoro Mouri?

Zhiyong only found out after asking.

It turns out that Ran had arranged to meet Sonoko today to clean Shinichi Kudo's house.

They happened to run into Asami Uchida, who was on her way to find Shinichi Kudo.

Asami Uchida is a senior who is two years ahead of them.

She is currently a first-year student in the Faculty of Arts at Tokyo University.

In a few days, it will be Asami Uchida's birthday.

Asami Uchida's friends from the university's mystery club are planning to rent a villa this weekend for everyone to celebrate her birthday.

Uchida Asami originally wanted to invite Kudo Shinichi to his birthday party.

Since Shinichi Kudo wasn't there, they invited Ran, Sonoko, Kogoro Mouri, and others to attend.

When Zhiyong came in just now, it was Sonoko who was trying to persuade Kogoro Mouri to join the party.

Zhiyong knew what the garden was up to.

Yuanzi is a flower fanatic.

I guess she's hoping to find a handsome guy at the party again.

Although Sonoko is a bit of a fangirl, there's one thing that Tomoyuki really admires about her.

Although she likes all kinds of handsome men, at least she is not the kind of woman who is promiscuous.

However, Sonoko also revealed a piece of information.

Shinichi Kudo once confessed his feelings to Asami Uchida.

However, Uchida Asami did not agree, which means that Uchida Asami was Kudo Shinichi's first love.

This incident left Xiaolan feeling very depressed.

But in Zhiyong's memory, it seems that Shinichi Kudo's first love should have been Ran.

Did Zhiyong remember it wrong?

It was a weekend evening in a villa in the suburbs.

Zhiyong met Uchida Asami here. She was elegant and dignified, with a natural charm and extraordinary beauty.

Asami Uchida is a multi-talented, humble, and considerate person.

In this era, she would definitely be a beautiful woman who embodies the qualities of a virtuous wife and loving mother.

Kogoro Mouri took a sip of his drink and said happily, "I'm really lucky today. I never thought I would be able to drink and chat with you young students from Toto University. You are all handsome men and beautiful women, and you have a bright future ahead of you. You will definitely achieve great things in the future."

"A true detective is indeed different; he can use words to move and control people's hearts," said Manabu Sawai with a smile.

"Isn't this your specialty? Playboy, Sawai-kun," Hayasaka Tomoko teased.

Noguchi Shibahisa also laughed and said, "We've all heard that you made a first-year student cry a few days ago."

Miyazaki Chinatsu exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"

"Come on, we're celebrating Mami's birthday today. It's not nice of you to make an example of me like this. You know, Mami is the star of the show today," Sawai Manabu said with a shrug.

“Yes, and besides, Asami’s novel recently won a newcomer award, so let’s celebrate together,” Hayasaka Tomoko said with a smile.

Manabu Sawai and Tomoko Hayasaka are the president and vice president of the Mystery Research Club, respectively.

In school clubs, the president and vice president always have some ambiguous relationship.

"It's such a pity, Morimoto. Your novel is also very good, it's just a shame that you ran into Mami this time," Sawai Manabu said regretfully.

Yoshiyuki Morimoto, on the other hand, was quite nonchalant. He shrugged and smiled, saying, "There's nothing we can do about it. Asami is the most promising newcomer in our company. It's not a pity that we lost to her."

“Speaking of losing, we also lost to their doubles team at the Faculty of Arts tennis tournament,” Noguchi Shibahisa remarked.

"Moreover, she was also elected Miss Tokyo. I was eliminated in the preliminary rounds," Miyazaki Chinatsu added.

"I admire her a lot. Despite being so outstanding, she is not arrogant at all," Tomoko Hayasaka said, taking a sip of her drink.

"Her reasoning ability is top-notch."

Yoshinobu Morimoto also raised his glass in appreciation.

Zhiyong listened from the side, thinking to himself, "We're not holding a meeting to learn from the advanced deeds of others, do you really need to be like this?"

However, Asami Uchida is indeed remarkable. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also a talented woman and an academic achiever.

"Why don't I see Mami's specialty lemon pie?" Sawai Manabu asked curiously.

"Mami-senpai is grilling with Ran right now," Sonoko said as she came out of the kitchen.

Even a rich heiress like Sonoko can put aside her pride and not look down on those from families less fortunate than hers, unlike typical rich kids.

This is also a great advantage of the garden.

Chapter 91 The Villa Catches Fire

Morimoto Yoshiyuki asked in surprise, "Didn't Mami say she would bring it when it was ready? Why is she only doing it now?"

"Yes, that's taken way too long."

"I'm so sorry to have kept everyone waiting."

Uchida Asami pushed Ran out of the kitchen from behind.
