Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

"I really envy you young girls. It seems I'm getting married a bit too early," the young man joked.

"You're talking nonsense again. You clearly love your sister so much," Sonoko teased.

"He is your sister's..." Xiaolan asked in confusion.

"He is Yuzo Tomizawa, the third son of Mr. Tetsuji Tomizawa, the chairman of the Tomizawa Foundation. He and my sister are getting married this fall," Sonoko introduced.

Zhiyong hadn't expected that it wouldn't have been long since their last meeting.

It's hard to believe that Ayako Suzuki is getting married.

This may also involve marriage alliances among the children of large conglomerates.

“Our family and the Tomizawa family have always had a good relationship.” Sonoko pointed to the villa and said, “The villas we bought are also next to each other. My brother Yusan fell in love with my sister at first sight at a party hosted by my father.”

"Sonoko, please don't say anymore," Tomizawa Yuzo said, embarrassed.

"You want to see my sister as soon as possible, right? She's in the villa now, go on over there," Sonoko said with a smile.

“I’m here today to introduce my family to Ayako,” Tomizawa Yuzo explained.

"Have they all arrived?" Sonoko asked.

“My two older brothers should be able to arrive tomorrow morning, but my father should have already arrived,” Tomizawa Yuzo replied.

"Ran, you guys keep playing, I'm going back first." Sonoko turned and walked towards the villa, saying to Ran as she did so.

"Sonoko, is something the matter?"

"Now that I know Uncle Tomizawa is coming here, I can't stay on the beach any longer. I need to go and say hello to him first."

"Then let's all go back."

Chapter 100: On the Consequences of Killing Conan

Back at the villa, Tetsuji Tomizawa was already there.

"Dad, didn't I say I'd bring Ayako over to see you later? Why did you come by yourself?" Tomizawa Yuzo said with a hint of complaint.

"I just wanted to eat your future wife's cooking tonight," Tomizawa Tetsuji said with a loud laugh.

Although Tomizawa Tetsuji has a somewhat rough personality, he is a decent person and quite talkative.

However, he was very angry that his son was not doing his job properly and was unwilling to work for the family business.

Zhi Yong is also quite strange.

The children of these wealthy people all like literature and painting, but they don't really like managing the family business.

I don't know if it's because I was too strictly controlled by my family when I was young, but I'm very rebellious now that I'm grown up.

This left Zhiyong completely baffled.

There doesn't seem to be a contradiction between pursuing ideals and fulfilling due obligations.

Look at Iron Man, he's managing a company, but that doesn't stop him from chasing girls and saving the world.

This reminded Zhiyong of something.

In the previous life of the TV series "Struggle", Lu Tao shouted, "This is not what I want."

That kind of person is just being difficult.

Of course, it could also be as depicted in "Fortress Besieged".

Like a besieged castle, those outside want to rush in, while those inside want to escape.

Zhiyong felt that these people were all traitors.

If you enjoy power but don't want to bear the corresponding obligations, there's no such thing as a free lunch in the world.

After dinner, Tomizawa Tetsuji sat down next to the television and watched a baseball game.

Baseball is especially popular in the United States and Japan, where it is known as the "national sport".

Tetsuji Tomizawa is a baseball fan.

For baseball fans, wisdom and courage are not enough; love is absent.

Of the few people here, only Tetsuji Tomizawa is a baseball fan.

Out of politeness, Ayako Suzuki had no choice but to stay in the living room with him.

Sonoko, Ran, and Zhiyong sat on the side chatting quietly.

Even with beautiful women by my side, it's still incredibly boring.

Therefore, Zhiyong had long wanted to go back to his room to rest.

But Ran and Sonoko are both sitting here.

Zhiyong felt embarrassed to be too casual, so he could only sit here and keep him company.

"Dad, you're a fan of Kagoshima Air vs. Air Force, right?" Tomizawa Yuzo asked, puzzled.

“Yes,” Tomizawa Tetsuji replied happily.

"But you don't need to keep looking around now that you're here, do you?"

"I can't do anything about it. I only discovered it today when I came here. The satellite dish in our villa can't receive a signal."

During a break in the program.

Ayako Suzuki brewed coffee and served it to Tetsuji Tomizawa first.

Tetsuji Tomizawa took the coffee and said, "The Suzuki family has such good upbringing. Yuzo, you're really lucky."

Maybe it's because I'm getting older that I like to nag.

Tetsuji Tomizawa continued, "My eldest son, Taichi, insists on not accepting my position and wants to become a novelist; he's still single. My second son, Tatsuji, although he works at the company, is secretly engaged to someone, I don't know."

"Dad, please stop saying bad things about my brother."

When Tomizawa Yuzo saw his father complaining to so many people, his two older brothers also felt embarrassed, so he tried to comfort them.

“Yuzo, you’re no good either. You just draw useless pictures all day long.”

Tomizawa Yuzo felt humiliated and resentful after being told that Tomizawa Tetsuji had harshly criticized him in front of his fiancée. He suddenly stood up.

Suddenly, this happened, leaving Ayako Suzuki feeling quite helpless.

But then he saw Tomizawa Yuzo suddenly stand up.

"Xiong San".

Ayako Suzuki was worried that the two would have a conflict, so she tried to mediate.

"Ayako, I'm going back to my studio now. I have one more painting that's almost finished, and I need to do some final touches."

After finishing his sentence, Tomizawa Yuzo left immediately.

Zhiyong watched Tomizawa Yuzo leave, feeling a pang of envy.

He really wanted to shout, "I'm not staying with you guys anymore, I'm going to sleep!"

"If this kid weren't so stubborn, I would definitely have arranged a good position for him."

Zhiyong thought to himself, "They really don't know how lucky they are. Do they have to make their three sons fight tooth and nail over the inheritance before they'll be happy?"

This baseball game was also plagued by misfortune, as it was forced to stop several times due to rain.

The baseball game didn't end until after 11 p.m.

Finally, when the Kagoshima air team won the air battle.

Tetsuji Tomizawa waved his hands and shouted, "Hooray! Hooray! This is the spirit of professional baseball!"

He was like a child, shouting and laughing happily, without any of his usual serious expression.

Tomizawa Tetsuji noticed the strange looks he was getting from the others and started to feel embarrassed.

He glanced at his watch and said, "It's already so late, I should head back to the villa."

Ayako Suzuki and the others saw Tetsuji Tomizawa out the door.

After walking out of the villa, Tomizawa Tetsuji turned back and said, "Ayako, I'll bring my three sons to visit again tomorrow. You shouldn't object, right?"

"Welcome," Ayako Suzuki said softly.

Everyone returned to the villa.

Sonoko said with great dissatisfaction, "We've already lost the will to do anything else today, and he's coming again tomorrow. Honestly."

Ayako Suzuki was unable to respond to her sister's complaints.

After all, Tomizawa Tetsuji is her future father-in-law.

Ayako Suzuki and Sonoko are completely different types of people; she is the kind of virtuous wife and loving mother.

Ayako Suzuki glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "It's already 11:30. Everyone should be asleep."

"Huh? Isn't it too early to go to bed now?" Sonoko said somewhat unhappily.

A flash of lightning streaked past the window, and the power went out immediately.

The atmosphere became a little eerie that night.

Xiaolan was still somewhat afraid of Lei.

Therefore, upon hearing the thunder and the moment the power went out, she immediately grabbed Zhiyong's left arm.

Xiao Lan's sudden action startled Zhi Yong.

The soft touch on Zhiyong's left arm made him feel a little itchy.

Ayako Suzuki exclaimed in surprise, "Why is there a power outage at this hour?"

From her voice, you could tell that she was a little panicked by the dark atmosphere.

“Yes.” Sonoko pointed out the window to the Tomizawa family next door and said, “There’s no light at all next door either. It must be because of the thunder, which caused a power outage throughout the district.”

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning ripped through the night sky, illuminating the earth.

Sonoko pointed out the window and asked, "Who's that?"
