Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Conan and Kogoro Mouri have both shown up; it would be strange if nothing happened.

Forget it, it's none of my business anyway.

The press conference did not last very long.

The host introduced the new game and demonstrated its basic operation on site.

Thankfully, Kogoro Mouri wasn't given a chance to speak.

I guess the organizers noticed his condition, so they just gave him an introduction.

After the press conference ended, Ran ignored Kogoro Mouri and let him sit in a chair and doze off.

Full Paradise also brought out all the excellent games released over the years, allowing all players to experience them at the venue.

Perhaps due to government support, most people in this island nation enjoy playing games.

Although Zhiyong is young now.

Having experienced his past life, he is not particularly enthusiastic about games now.

Zhiyong simply stood behind Ran, watching Ran and Conan play.

Xiaolan really enjoys fighting games.

Although Xiaolan doesn't play games often.

At the beginning, Xiaolan was not very skilled at operating the equipment.

However, after getting used to the controls, he quickly defeated Conan.

Ran excitedly raised her hands and shouted, "Great! We've turned the tables! Conan, I'm awesome, right?"

She looks very cute.

There are employees from Paradise Entertainment stationed next to the game machines, who will explain things to those who don't understand.

Hideaki Nakajima happens to be in charge of the arcade machines in this area.

He saw Xiaolan win in the end and praised her, "Xiaolan, you are amazing. That last special move is very difficult to execute."

Xiaolan said happily, "Really? It seems I'm really lucky today."

"Nakajima, can you come over and demonstrate?" Takeshita suddenly called out from not far away.

On the side that Takeshita was in charge of, there was a boxing force gauge.

Hideaki Nakajima agreed, took off his coat, and handed it to Takeshita.

He threw a punch, and the screen immediately displayed the dazzling number 348.

Takeshita said to the people next to him, "Look, as long as it exceeds 250, such a dazzling scene will appear."

After finishing his fight, Hideaki Nakajima picked up his clothes again.

Ran enthusiastically exclaimed, "Mr. Nakajima, you're amazing! Have you practiced this before?"

Hideaki Nakajima smiled and said, "I practiced boxing for a while when I was in college."

Just now, Zhiyong discovered something interesting: when Nakajima Hideaki handed his coat to Takeshita.

Just as Hideaki Nakajima threw that punch, Takeshita secretly swapped Nakajima's number tag with his.

However, Zhiyong didn't say anything.

Zhiyong's current mindset is to mind his own business and not get involved.

After finishing his match with Hideaki Nakajima, Takeshita handed the boxing gloves to Ran with both hands and said, "Miss Ran, would you like to try it out too?"

"Well... I think I'll pass," Xiaolan said, a little embarrassed.

"Miss Ran, why don't you give it a try? Besides, it can also help you relieve stress," Takeshita said with a smile.

"It can reduce stress." Xiaolan was intrigued by this suggestion.

Ran got ready and shouted, "Shinichi, come back soon!"

Her punch dealt a total of 400 damage, and she watched the numbers flashing on the screen.

The people watching nearby were all quite surprised.

They really didn't expect that Xiaolan, such a delicate woman, could be so powerful.

Conan watched from the side, his face turning a little pale.

He seriously doubted whether Ran would kill him if she found out he was Shinichi Kudo.

Ran smiled and said, "Conan, would you like to give it a try?"

"I need to go to the toilet." Conan said, using the excuse of needing to urinate to make an excuse.

“I’m going too, so I’ll take you with me,” Hideaki Nakajima said with a smile.

Conan and Hideaki Nakajima left.

"Zhiyong, why don't you give it a try?" Xiaolan asked again.

"Okay." Zhiyong took the boxing gloves.

He didn't use his full strength; he just threw a casual punch, which still dealt 400 damage.

Zhiyong's martial arts skills are already quite good, but in terms of actual combat, he may still be lacking.

"Zhiyong, you're amazing! You've been hiding your true abilities!" Xiaolan exclaimed.

"I've been in poor health since I was a child. To improve my physique, I've always exercised, but my body was too weak to train like an ordinary person. However, after so many years of hard work, my body has finally returned to normal. My current strength is a recognition of my efforts over the years," Zhiyong said softly.

Xiao Lan nodded, her admiration for Zhi Yong growing even stronger.

……

The Explosion at the Press Conference of Chapter 97

Although Zhiyong isn't a big fan of games, it's not that he doesn't like playing them.

He found a game he liked and was having a great time when he heard a huge explosion.

Zhiyong was also startled by the sudden explosion, and Xiaolan happened to be nearby.

He walked over and said to Xiaolan, "Go find Uncle Maoli, I'll go see what happened."

Xiaolan nodded and said, "You be careful too."

Zhiyong arrived at the scene of the accident.

The discovery was made in the toilet, which had been completely destroyed by the bomb.

Zhiyong saw Conan here, and he felt a crow fly overhead.

Conan is really amazing.

He first put away the ghost, probably because the explosion was too powerful.

The ghost was absorbed into the space, but it remained in a daze and had not recovered, knowing nothing more.

Zhiyong walked over to Conan and asked, "Conan, what happened? How did you get hurt?"

As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off Conan's face.

Conan is feeling a bit down right now.

He said in a low voice, "I don't know either. I just met a tall man in black and overheard him on the phone. He claimed to be Tequila and also mentioned Gin and Vodka. I wanted to find out more, but shortly after he went into the bathroom, it exploded."

"I see," Zhiyong said thoughtfully.

I never expected such a coincidence.

Zhi Yong just told Conan that the two men in black from the past were named Gin and Vodka.

Conan then encountered a new member of that organization.

This agave is just too tragic.

I don't know if they were silenced or for some other reason.

Zhiyong glanced at Conan again.

Conan definitely has the protagonist's halo.

The explosion killed the agave plant, but Conan was only a little covered in dust.

"Then, could you tell me what happened?" Zhiyong asked.

“I was just about to buy a drink when I overheard him on the phone. He said, ‘This is Tequila. The deal is done. Don’t worry about the vodka. You should also let Gin know.’ Then he went to the bathroom, and I heard him say, ‘Strange, why can’t I insert it?’ ‘Maybe there’s no lock.’ Then, it exploded,” Conan said seriously.

“By the way, judging from his accent, he should be from Kansai. He went to the front desk earlier and picked up a Mantang suitcase with the number 98. However, he shouldn’t be an employee of Mantang, because I didn’t see him wearing a Mantang tie,” Conan added.

After listening to Conan's words.

Zhiyong took out a pair of gloves, put them on, and looked around the scene again.

In the ruins, Zhiyong found a key on a leather suitcase and a badge with the logo of the Heavenly Kingdom.

It was the badge on the suitcase of the employees of Full Paradise.

But this badge looks so strange.

Zhiyong looked at the badge and pondered.

If the bomb explodes on the outside, the badge should be curved inwards.

But now the badge is bent outwards.

This can only mean that the bomb exploded inside the suitcase.

Conan just mentioned that Tequila has number 98.

But Zhiyong remembers it very clearly.

Kogoro Mouri received the storage card number 96.

Xiaolan received number 100.

Ueda, Takeshita, and Nakajima cut in line.

They should have received numbers 97, 98, and 99.
