Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 541 It's time for hypnosis again!
Good luck!
A murder occurred near the Kitahara Chinese Restaurant; it's truly terrifying.

It has to be said that Conan's death god power is really coming into play, and even Kitahara Natsuhiro is having trouble controlling it.

Perhaps the longer Conan stays in this year, the stronger his death god power will become.

But it's not a big problem. Anyway, with Kitahara Natsuhiro around, Kitahara Chinese Restaurant is unlikely to have any problems.

Shortly after Conan left, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Ai returned to the area, followed closely by Ran, Sonoko, Sera Masumi, and Koizumi Akako.

The moment she discovered the case, Sera Masumi made the same choice as Conan and ran to the crime scene.

At this time, the police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department had not yet arrived.

"Conan's deathly aura is getting stronger and stronger, it's really terrifying!" Koizumi Akako glanced at Conan not far away and couldn't help but think to herself.

As a victim of the Grim Reaper's aura, she has a lot to say about this.

If it weren't for Kitahara Natsuhiro's help, she most likely wouldn't have seen the sun rise the next day.

It's really terrible.

However, just mentioning Kitahara Natsuhiro made her grit her teeth. She both loved and hated this man, a feeling that was hard to put into words.

In short, her feelings toward Kitahara Natsuhiro were quite complicated.

"Hongzi, let's go in." At this moment, Xiaolan called out, then opened the restaurant door and went inside.

Sonoko followed closely behind, and Koizumi Akako responded and then followed as well.

She wasn't interested in the case, and she was even less interested in Conan Edogawa.

So she just came here to have fun today, she didn't have any other intentions.

At this moment, Kitahara Natsuyu was already in the kitchen, looking at Amuro Tooru: "It's really strange that a case has occurred in this area."

In the past, with him suppressing crime, there were no cases in this area, but now... Conan is a truly terrifying presence.

But as long as the case doesn't happen in his shop, it's fine. If a case happens in his shop, he'll definitely sacrifice Conan!

"Yes." Amuro Tooru nodded, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "There are more and more cases now, and we have cases on our end too. I wonder if it will affect our business."

The incident happened in this area, which will definitely affect business, but the problem is not too big and is still within a controllable range.

Money can continue to be earned, and it should be about the same as usual.

After all, there are only so many ingredients. Once they're used up, we won't cook anymore, and we won't serve any more guests no matter how many come.

“I don’t think there should be any major problems. Cases don’t happen around here every day,” Kitahara Natsuhiro said.

Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru said, "If cases happen every day, this street must be unclean. We'll have to go to a temple or shrine to ask someone to perform an exorcism."

"Exorcism?" Kitahara Natsuhiro laughed. "If exorcisms were effective, why do Conan and Kogoro Mouri still encounter so many cases?"

Hearing this, Amuro Tooru smiled, and his frustration subsided.

For some reason, he felt uneasy today, as if something bad was about to happen, but so far nothing has occurred.

"Brother Xia Yu, Brother Amuro, is it really okay for you to talk about my dad and Conan like this in front of me?"

At this moment, Xiao Lan poked her head in, looking helpless.

Although Kitahara Natsuhiro's words to Amuro Tooru were a bit excessive, things were just as they described.

It seems like Dad and Conan are truly possessed by the Grim Reaper, as a case occurs wherever they appear.

It was as if death itself had possessed them, the aura of death spreading everywhere.

But nothing happened at home, and there were no major problems with the neighbors either.

But now, things seem to have gotten even worse, with even the neighbors getting into trouble.

However, Ran also forced Conan and Kogoro Mouri to go to shrines or temples to exorcise evil spirits, and even bought them amulets, but it seemed to have no effect at all.

Actually, the people who should be exorcised or buy amulets are not Conan and Kogoro Mouri, but others.

After all, they are the embodiment of death, so what do they need talismans and exorcisms for? Even if the real things were effective, they wouldn't have any effect on them.

The version of the answer is just that absurd.

Of course, Kitahara Natsuhiro is the real answer.

These two death-like figures were suppressed.

It's fair to say that everyone in Beika Town should kowtow to Kitahara Natsuhiro, but he doesn't care about people from other places.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu turned to look at Xiaolan, completely unconcerned: "What's there to be embarrassed about? I'm just asking you, is it true or not?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lan was speechless; she really had no way to answer.

"Sigh, never mind, let's not talk about this anymore, I'm going to get busy." Xiaolan found that she seemed unable to persuade him, and was even about to be persuaded by Kitahara Natsuyu.

So hurry up and get to work.

Since things have already come to this, let Dad and Conan become Grim Reapers if that's how it is!

At least she hasn't reached that level yet!
Xiaolan certainly didn't reach their level, maybe it's because of the angels' blessing!
After all, Ran is like an angel in Vermouth's eyes!
Kitahara Natsuyu watched Ran retreat and laughed unkindly, as did Amuro Tooru beside him.

This smile dispelled his bad premonition.

There shouldn't be any major problems!
Meanwhile, Wakita Kanenori, who had been sitting on a small stool working, listened to their conversation and thought to himself, "Edogawa Conan, Kudo Shinichi, Mouri Kogoro, and you, Amuro Tooru!"

Although these were Wakita Kanenori's true feelings, Kitahara Natsuhiro still sensed them.

He knew that tonight was another opportunity to use hypnosis.

However, he would not erase the matter of Amuro Tooru from Wakita Kanenori's mind.

After all, he wanted to watch the show; without the actors, the performance couldn't continue.

"Wait, this voice... it's from the FBI!"

At that moment, Kitahara Natsuhiro sensed the FBI logo amidst the noisy environment, and it was emanating from a foreigner.

If nothing unexpected happens, then this person should be an FBI agent, but not Jodie, James, or Shuichi Akai!

But he was definitely an FBI agent.

But why are FBI agents here, and why are they even observing at the crime scene?

Could it be that this case is related to the FBI, or that the person who died was not a normal person?

Just as Kitahara Natsuyu was speculating, the phone suddenly rang.

However, this call was not from Kitahara Natsuhiro, but from Amuro Tooru.

Amuro Tooru felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, but he didn't answer the call immediately. Instead, he finished cooking the food in the pot and even plated it before stopping.

It has to be said that Amuro Tooru is really professional. He truly deserves to be called the King of Part-Time Workers and the Chosen One!

"Boss, could you spare a moment? I need to take this call." Amuro Tooru said apologetically, then left through the back door and went into the alley before answering the phone.

At this point, Kitahara Natsuhiro took over the two pots in the kitchen and began operating them on a dual-thread basis.

This kind of operation is not a problem at all for Kitahara Natsuhiro; it's very simple.

At the same time, he also started eavesdropping on Amuro Tooru's phone call outside.

Since I'm just idling around anyway, I definitely need to do something, otherwise just cooking here is so boring. Just as Kitahara Natsuyu was eavesdropping, Amuro Tooru finally answered the phone, and the moment the call connected, his expression changed.

Because the person who called was none other than his capable subordinate, Kazami Yuya.

"Kazami, is there something you need?" Amuro Tooru's voice turned cold, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

But Kitahara Natsuhiro could still hear the fatigue in his voice.

This is not physical exhaustion, but mental exhaustion.

After all, it was really too difficult for him. He had too few helpers, and not only that, there were people who were sabotaging him. How could he not be exhausted?

“Mr. Furuya.” Even when referring to plants at work, Yuya Kazami did it: “Something’s happened to one of our people.”

"Something happened?" Amuro Tooru was startled, then frowned.

It's unusual for one of our own people to be in trouble at this time!

"Yes, a colleague of mine came to this street where your restaurant is today to buy something, and then he died here."

"The Metropolitan Police Department is still on its way."

Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru's face darkened to the point of being dripping with gloom.

The ominous premonition came true.

"Tell me more details," Amuro Tooru said calmly, taking a deep breath.

In situations like this, it's crucial to stay calm and not panic.

Panic will only disrupt your plans and rhythm, allowing you to be led by the nose by the enemy, even if something happens to your colleagues.

"Yes."

Immediately afterwards, Kazami Yu told Amuro Tooru the information he had gathered.

However, he is not at the scene of the crime now; he is handling matters elsewhere.

Furthermore, they cannot directly intervene in this matter, in case problems arise.

So we still have to go through the Metropolitan Police Department before we can take over!
The Metropolitan Police Department is really something else; they haven't arrived yet. No wonder Tokyoites are cursing the Metropolitan Police Department. If it were me, I would have cursed them too.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's reputation has been damaged, which has implicated Japanese public security officers as well.

Judging from their uniforms, they were wearing the same uniforms, just belonging to different organizations.

Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru frowned, because based on the information Kazami Yuya had provided, this should have been an accident.

However, in Amuro Tooru's view, this could not be an accident; it was definitely murder!

How could Ōwada have died of a sudden heart attack!

He doesn't have heart disease at all, so how could he have a sudden heart attack?

He knew the condition of the members in his group perfectly well, and there was absolutely no way they could have heart disease.

Even if they existed, they wouldn't appear in his group.

Furthermore, having a heart condition would preclude one from becoming a Japanese public security officer; however, working at the Metropolitan Police Department or a police station would be possible.

Therefore, Amuro Tooru can confirm that this was definitely not a simple accident, but rather that someone was plotting all of this behind the scenes.

And his first suspect was the FBI.

There's no way around it; he just arrested James, the head of the FBI's Japan branch, not long ago, so it's only natural that the FBI would retaliate now.

But he didn't expect the retaliation to come so quickly; it hadn't been that long!
It must be said that prejudice in people's hearts is a huge mountain.

Amuro has now set his sights on the FBI, and they are unlikely to clear themselves of suspicion anytime soon.

Moreover, the suspicion against them cannot be completely cleared.

After all, the FBI has done countless bad things, and this isn't the first time they've done something like this.

It's really not a big deal to shift the blame onto them.

But was this really done by the FBI?
That's uncertain.

It might be, it might not be; it's also possible that someone is framing him.

After all, there are countless agents who have infiltrated Japan. No one knows how many agents have infiltrated, and even if the entire city of Tokyo were searched, it's not certain that many agents would be found.

It's important to know that the agents who infiltrated the king were all quite capable, but some were exiled to the frontier after failing in their power struggles.

So it's a mixed bag, and it's really hard to tell the difference!
Even Amuro Tooru is not an option.

However, for now, he has temporarily set his sights on the FBI, followed by the criminal organizations, and then the CIA.

Currently, these three organizations are the most likely candidates.

"Kazami, once the Metropolitan Police Department has finished their shift, immediately take over Owada's body and have an autopsy performed!" Amuro Tooru said in a deep voice.

Because of the unique nature of forensic medicine in Japan, very few people are willing to become full-time forensic doctors; the vast majority of forensic doctors are simply hospital doctors.

Therefore, it is quite difficult to dissect a corpse; it depends on whether the doctor has time, and there is also a waiting list.

It is common for a body to wait in the morgue for months or even a year.

Unless you have connections, you can have an autopsy performed immediately.

But now, Amuro Tooru is also a connected guy, and he's even the head of a Japanese public security squad, so he has that much power.

Furthermore, there are forensic doctors within the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

Of course, this forensic doctor is not him.

Although he had some medical skills and knowledge, it was still difficult for him to become a professional forensic doctor.

Forensic medicine is an extremely difficult medical profession; it's not something anyone can easily become!

Even Conan is not good at forensic medicine or autopsies.

Because vocational schools in Hawaii don't teach these things.

"Yes, Mr. Furuya, I will have someone take care of it immediately."

"Ah."

Amuro Tooru nodded, then hung up the phone, rubbed his cheeks, and went back to the kitchen.

He didn't plan to go to the scene because he knew Conan had already gone, and Sera Masumi, who had returned with Ran, had also gone.

With these two people around, they should be able to find some clues.

It's even possible that Owada's death had nothing to do with the organizations he was thinking of, and was simply a revenge killing.

If it's just a revenge killing, then there's no trouble.

If these organizations are involved, then things will get complicated!

“Amuro is back,” Kitahara Natsuhiro said.

"Well, I'm back!"
