Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Zhiyong looked at Michiwaki Masahiko and said, "But after hearing you say that you saw the same woman who was murdered a year ago again today, and after hearing the police say that the murder happened after the fireworks festival, I guessed that you were the murderer. I was thinking about how to find evidence, but I didn't expect you to come to the hotel to commit the crime."

"What? He's the murderer?" Ran and Sonoko were both shocked.

"Is it because I also have brown hair that you want to kill me?" Sonoko asked angrily.

Michiwaki Masahiko coldly replied, "What evidence do you have to prove that I am the murderer?"

"Based on my reasoning, there are two reasons why you approached Sonoko. One is that she has brown hair, and you hate girls with brown hair."

"Is this true?" Sonoko asked.

Zhiyong paused for a moment, then said, "Secondly, it's because last night, when you were killing someone, it happened to be when we were passing by. I remember at that time, the train was passing by and flashed its lights. At that moment, you should have killed that girl."

"Last night, when we passed by, was he killing someone?" Xiaolan asked.

"Yes. I think he was facing away from us when a flash of light appeared behind him, but he didn't notice it. It was a spark from the train passing by. He heard us talking, so he quietly hid behind a tree."

"But we haven't found him!" Xiaolan asked, puzzled.

"Yes, but he didn't know that. He saw Sonoko with a camera and thought the light from earlier must have been the flash from Sonoko taking the picture. At the time, Sonoko might have thought they were being intimate, but after the body was discovered, the photo could become evidence of his crime. You approached Sonoko to get the photo back."

“I don’t understand any of what you’re saying. I only came here to steal some valuables and never expected to run into Sonoko,” Michiwaki Masahiko replied.

Zhiyong pointed at the knife on the ground and said, "It's no use for you to argue. I only just realized this myself. If I had realized it sooner, Sonoko wouldn't have been hurt."

As he spoke, Zhiyong shrugged and said, "However, it doesn't matter now. I don't need to find any evidence. This knife is probably the murder weapon. By comparing it with the victim's wounds, we can definitely find bloodstains on the handle. As long as we compare it with the victim's DNA, everything will be clear."

"You killed someone because your girlfriend who dumped you had brown hair, right?" Conan asked at this moment.

Now, Masahiko Michiwaki knows that he can no longer hide it.

"That's right. The woman with brown hair was the one who kicked me into the abyss back then. So, I get angry whenever I see a woman with brown hair."

As he spoke, Masahiko Michiwaki pointed at Sonoko and said, "Especially a frivolous woman like you."

Sonoko was extremely upset by what they said.

She thought she had found love, but it turned out to be a demon who wanted her life.

Just then, a sleazy-looking fat guy ran in from outside.

Makoto Kyogoku was in a bad mood, and when he saw that the person who came was not a guest of the inn, he asked, "Who are you?"

The man hurriedly took out his identification from his pocket and said, "I am a detective from Chiba Prefecture, Terahashi Sōji. I am investigating a murder case. If the woman last night was also murdered by him, then four women have been killed by him. However, there has been no evidence. I heard that a similar case happened in Izu, so I came here to monitor him."

At this moment, Officer Yokomizo arrived with his men.

Officer Yokomizo was actually investigating nearby. He had just received the report and rushed over.

Since Masahiko Michiwaki had already confessed, Inspector Yokomizo took the prisoner away.

Zhiyong and the others were also taken back to give their statements.

I never expected to have to go to the police station to give a statement twice in just two days. It's really frustrating.

Zhiyong vigorously rubbed Conan's head, making Conan inexplicably angry and helpless.

This time, Sonoko was haunted by that hotel and never dared to go back.

I brought my luggage before I left.

After giving their statements, they checked into a high-end hotel.

In her room, Sonoko complained to Ran that she hadn't found a boy she liked and had encountered such a terrible thing.

Inside the hotel, she genuinely thought she was going to be killed, but thankfully Zhiyong appeared in time and saved her.

Makoto Kyogoku was also very frustrated.

His dream girl arrived at his hotel, but unexpectedly, an accident occurred, and she almost died there. He hadn't even had time to protect her.

Kyogoku Makoto's attack on Tomoyuki failed, and Sonoko misunderstood him even more, almost making him a member of Michiwaki Masahiko's group.

This incident affected the relationship between Makoto Kyogoku and Sonoko.

Without Makoto Kyogoku's heroic rescue, it's uncertain whether the two of them can still get together.

Chapter 112 The Client Died Again

While in the office, Zhiyong overheard Kogoro Mouri mentioning a case he had recently been asked to handle.

Antique collector Maru Denjiro hires Kogoro Mouri to investigate his wife's infidelity.

Now that the investigation has yielded some results, Kogoro Mouri needs to report the progress of the investigation to his client.

He only wanted to keep the matter confidential so that outsiders wouldn't know he was visiting as a detective.

Kogoro Mouri then took Ran and Conan to Maru Denjiro's house.

After learning about this, Zhiyong came with them.

Zhiyong's main purpose in coming here was to hear that Conan was coming.

So far, there are many facts that have proven that every time Kogoro Mouri takes Conan to someone else's house...

These two are a duo with the attributes of death gods.

Once we get to this place, someone will definitely die or be injured.

You should know that this combination carries an extremely powerful curse, and it has proven effective time and again.

Conan, with his strong death-dealing attributes, would be so much better off staying home as a shut-in. Instead, he runs around everywhere, causing suffering to so many people.

Zhiyong was quite pleased with this matter.

Of course, there was another reason why Zhiyong came this time.

As an antique collector, Marudenjiro must have had quite a few antiques in his home.

Zhiyong also wanted to take a closer look at his collection to see if there was any space to improve the energy needed.

While Kogoro Mouri was reporting his investigation to his client.

Zhiyong and the others were waiting in the courtyard.

Later, Marudenjiro heard the doorbell ring.

Maru Denjiro gave his servants an afternoon off in order to secretly meet with Kogoro Mouri.

Now he had no choice but to open the door and greet them, leaving Kogoro Mouri to wait in the living room for a while.

Arriving at the antique dealer's house reminded Zhiyong that a case had indeed occurred.

The person who died in the case was this antique dealer, Maru Denjiro.

Zhiyong remembered that Marudenjiro never returned after that trip.

Kogoro Mouri had originally said he wanted to have a big meal, so they left without eating lunch.

But things didn't go smoothly, and they still haven't had a meal.

Inside the Wisdom and Courage Space, various kinds of food were prepared.

However, it's inconvenient to take it out now in front of Ran and Conan.

Zhiyong pretended to take out some chocolates and cookies from his bag and asked Ran and Conan, "Do you want some?"

None of the three of them had eaten lunch and were already very hungry, so Ran and Conan didn't stand on ceremony and each took some to eat.

Conan suddenly stopped what he was doing and asked, "Did you hear anything?"

Zhiyong walked over and ruffled Conan's hair, saying, "You brat, this is someone else's house. Even if there were sounds, the host wouldn't have said anything. This is none of your business."

Conan rolled his eyes and didn't say anything more. He finished the chocolate in a few bites.

Ran then added, "I didn't hear anything either. But Conan, Chi-Yong is right. We're in someone else's house, so you can't be naughty."

Conan's success might be a result of his professional habits as a detective.

He has a particular fondness for spying on other people's secrets.

Conan usually believes that he is upholding the law.

But looking at what Conan has done, has he ever done anything without breaking the law?

However, he also declares to others that he will abide by the law.

Conan is a classic example of double standards: "The magistrate is allowed to set fires, but the common people are forbidden to light lamps."

Zhiyong looked at Conan and thought to himself, "You, with your Grim Reaper-like attributes, are indeed very perceptive."

Actually, Zhiyong had also heard the noise earlier.

The sound just now was probably Maru Denjiro being killed.

On the other hand, Conan's power is indeed immense.

Although it was just a coincidence, things usually go wrong wherever Conan appears.

This has now become an ironclad rule.

Zhiyong thought to himself, "If I ever host a banquet in the future, I definitely can't let Conan go. I myself will be fine, but if some unlucky guy dies at the banquet, wouldn't that be extremely bad luck?"

Of course, now we have the emergence of Zhiyong.

Although Conan has a strong protagonist aura, Zhi Yong also has a cheat code, which is not much less than his.

As long as Zhiyong pays a little attention, he has nothing to worry about regarding Conan's death.

And if Zhiyong had stopped what happened today, nothing would have gone wrong.

However, this antique collector was too greedy and not a good person.

Zhiyong is neither a saint nor a savior; he can't be bothered with such things.

Now, Zhiyong only needs to take care of his own affairs; why should he concern himself with so many other people's business?

Looking at the yard, Zhiyong thought to himself, "It's good to be rich. The yard at home is so big. Should I save up some money and buy a manor like this?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Zhiyong shook his head again, "Forget it. Even if I were rich, I wouldn't buy such a big estate. Such a big yard would be too deserted if there were too few people."

Of course, once a person reaches a certain status, even if they don't want to...

I doubt it will work either. Our house will be too small to accommodate everyone at a banquet.
