Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 458 Time is the best healer: The super-sincere culprit who broke Conan's defenses.

Yusaku Kudo's guess was correct.

Now that he knew the fate of this ill-fated couple in advance, how could Ono Takeshi remain unmoved?

Besides, they are his own fans. Since they have encountered this situation, it would be a good thing to avoid an unfortunate outcome.

So after seeing Hatsune leave, he timed it perfectly and found an excuse to follow her.

What followed was perfectly logical; the moment the fire broke out, Ono Takeshi swiftly intervened and rescued Kamon Hatsune in time.

The reason they didn't stop it beforehand was to set up a scheme.

Kamon Hatsune has already decided to die. Oni Takeshi is unsure whether she will try to commit suicide again next time, even though he saved her this time.

The only way to dispel her suicidal thoughts is to rekindle her love for Mrs. Banba.

So Takeshi Ono deliberately found a dummy to replace Hatsune Miku Kamon, then arranged for her to fake her death, making everyone believe that she was really dead.

This allows Hatsune Miku to witness firsthand the agony that Raita Banba suffered after her "death."

The reality is indeed despairing, but seeing her lover in such unbearable pain, if Kamon Hatsune were to love Banba Raita, she would be unlikely to choose suicide.

As it turned out, Ono Takeshi's method was very effective.

Hidden nearby, Hatsune Kamon witnessed Raita Banba's sorrowful state, and her suicidal thoughts began to waver.

Ono Takeshi's words were the last straw that broke the camel's back.

—What he just said was actually meant for Hatsune Miku to hear.

These words made Hatsune Kamon suddenly realize the truth and completely wake up from her agitated and desperate state.

Oni no Takeshi was right to criticize him; he was indeed too selfish.

It is indeed heartbreaking for a couple to become twins, but since they love each other, they should share the pain. How can they be so selfish as to leave it to Raita Banba to bear alone?
My suicide attempt was nothing more than a cowardly escape from reality.

But surviving requires even greater courage and involves enduring more pain.

Should Banba Raita really bear this alone?
Hatsune Miku was shaken.

Feeling the arms that were holding her tightly, the suicidal thoughts in her mind gradually faded, and a stream of hot, bittersweet tears rolled down her cheeks...

“Living takes more courage than dying. I wonder if those two can hold on…” Looking at the scene before him, Yusaku Kudo shook his head with a sigh.

"At least as long as you're alive, there's still hope." Oni Takeshi sighed. "Time is the best medicine to heal wounds..."

Yusaku Kudo remained silent; the topic had become quite heavy.

Although they saved Hatsune Miku from being separated forever, the established reality will not change. From now on, they can only be brother and sister.

For two people who clearly love each other but cannot be together, this means having to endure pain every day.

But perhaps, as Takeshi Ono said, time is the best medicine to heal wounds.

At least, the person is still alive.

That's all Ono Takeshi could do. He wasn't God and couldn't change their fate, but at least he gave them a choice.

If he still chooses to end this suffering with death, then he has nothing more to say.

But judging from the attitudes of Kamon and Hatsune, they at least still have the courage to live on...

A heartbreaking tragedy came to an end in the rainy night.

……

Ono Takeshi did not follow up on the matter.

What will become of Banba Raita and his companion is left to the future.

He has done all he could.

It's fortunate that the person is still alive amidst misfortune.

Even though he allowed Hatsune to live and suffer, he himself didn't know if it was the right thing to do...

With a sigh, Takeshi Onino bid farewell to Yusaku Kudo and his wife and drove home.

Because of the rain, there were far fewer pedestrians and vehicles on the street, so the lively scene in the distance quickly caught Ono Takeshi's attention.

He glanced at it as he passed by and spotted a few familiar figures...

I couldn't help but twitch the corner of my mouth.

Goodness, you guys really do work all year round!
Crunch!

Oni Takeshi slammed on the brakes, a helpless expression on his face.

These little devils are still wandering around outside in the middle of the night!
He could ignore Conan, but Ayumi was his little cousin, so he couldn't just ignore her.

After parking the car, Ono Takeshi walked towards the group of kids.

Looking at the police cars parked all around, the corner of his mouth twitched again. It was such a familiar scene…

Looking up at the scene, he was surprised to find that it was the same restaurant called "Jiuzufanbao" where he had lunch with Shinmei Kaori and the others at noon.

Oni Takeshi stepped forward but was stopped by the police on the perimeter. He could only shout, "Hey, you kids, why aren't you home yet, it's so late!"

Hearing the voice, the children, who were about to leave in the police car, immediately turned around. Seeing it was Oni Takeshi, they unusually showed a look of joy. "Brother Takeshi!"

Now it was Ono Takeshi's turn to be stunned. What's going on? Shouldn't he be terrified and nervous when he's been caught? Why is he so happy?

Ayumi and her two friends skipped and hopped over to Ono Takeshi, their little faces beaming with excitement, saying, "Takeshi-nii, we helped the police catch a robber today!"

Oni Takeshi deliberately feigned a suspicious expression: "Really? Just you guys?"

The three kids got anxious and argued, "Of course it's true! As soon as our Junior Detective Club got involved, the criminal surrendered on his own!"

Upon hearing this, Oni Takeshi's lips twitched.

He was initially inclined to believe it, after all, although the three little ones were a handful, they also had their shining moments, not to mention there was Conan. But now, these words sounded completely unbelievable.

What kind of cowardly prisoner would be afraid of a few children? He's probably just bragging!
"What they're saying is true..."

At this moment, Conan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke weakly.

Seeing the boy's drooping head and dejected expression, clearly not in a good state, Oni Takeshi couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong with him?"

The three little ones immediately burst into laughter and started explaining all at once.

After hearing this, Ono Takeshi couldn't help but chuckle as well.

Good grief, someone actually managed to make Conan break down!

The cause of the matter is not complicated.

In short, it's about classmates from Teitan Elementary School who ask the Junior Detective League to investigate someone who suddenly appeared at their family's restaurant not long ago.

This man named Yuji Kamekura stayed to help under the pretext of repaying a debt of gratitude. Not only did he not ask for wages, he also paid out of his own pocket to renovate their shop and teach them superb cooking skills, helping the shop go from being deserted to being bustling with customers.

It's a real-life, low-budget version of the "crane repaying a debt of gratitude" story.

However, the children in the family became suspicious of this person, feeling that he was acting suspiciously and had ulterior motives, so they went to the Junior Detective League.

It turns out that the other party's purpose was not simple. They did all this to find an excuse to drive the family out so that they could dig up the 300 million yen worth of jewelry that he had stolen and buried here five years ago.

Upon hearing this, Oni Takeshi suddenly realized what was going on; he remembered it.

Isn't this the episode "The Secret to a Prosperous Business" where the only time the culprit managed to break Conan's nerves?

Is Yuji Kamekura the idiot and sucker who buried stolen jewelry under a hotel, then went to great lengths to dig it out, even paying out of his own pocket to send the family away, and then imparted all the culinary skills he had honed over five years to them?

Moreover, this guy is incredibly cowardly. He panicked after being intimidated by the Junior Detective League. After being exposed, he not only confessed to his crimes without hesitation, but also didn't resist at all. He sincerely stretched out his hands and said, "Please arrest me!"

This left Conan both amused and exasperated, feeling no sense of accomplishment from solving the case.

He couldn't help but say something like, "Is it reasonable for an adult like you to be afraid of a detective team that's just a bunch of kids?"

Yuji Kamekura is truly one of a kind when he manages to force Conan to speak up for the criminal.

Yuji Kamekura also successfully created the most innocent, pure, naive and adorable unique criminal since the beginning of the Conan series.

Even the usually witty and thoughtful Conan was won over by his honest confession and the simplest method of committing the crime.

Oni no Takeshi was deeply impressed by this only criminal who could make Conan kneel down, and couldn't help but become interested in him.

In a sense, he's quite a talent.

At that moment, Shiratori Ninzaburo walked over—Inspector Megure was leading a team to deal with Kamon Hatsune's situation. Although she hadn't died, there were still many follow-up issues.

Therefore, after receiving the call, Shiratori Ninzaburo led the team.

However, Ono Takeshi's gaze was not on him, but on a small man next to him who was wearing handcuffs, looked somewhat weak, but whose expression revealed a lot of sincerity.

This should be Yuji Kamekura.

Sure enough, he exuded a familiar aura from head to toe. In a daze, Oni no Takeshi seemed to see the Chinese university students from his previous life.

How to describe it... um, crystal-clear stupidity!

Yuji Kamekura had a kind face and looked easy to bully. He didn't look like a criminal at all. Even when he was arrested, he didn't show much panic or fear on his face. His honest and simple appearance made it hard to be harsh on him.

The three children showed no fear of him whatsoever; they even waved enthusiastically at him.
"Mr. Kamekura, you must work hard in prison and strive to reform yourself and become a new person!"

Yuji Kamekura's reaction was also quite interesting. Far from holding a grudge against the kids for grabbing him, he nodded earnestly and said with a serious expression, "Yes, I will try my best!"

Afterwards, she smiled and encouraged the three little ones.

"You've done such a great job this time, the Metropolitan Police Department will definitely award you a certificate. Keep it up!"

"Mmm, thank you, Mr. Kamekura!" The three little ones grinned foolishly.

Onino Takeshi:......

Conan: ...

Shiratori Ninzaburo: ...

What's with this ridiculously harmonious atmosphere?!
Conan broke down again, screaming in despair:

"That's why I hate cases like this the most—"
