Conan: I've been linked to the tech tree system.

However, one thing that comforted him was that he hadn't gotten involved with the main characters yet, so he could just avoid Conan in the future.

Let's play it safe and develop our strength first. Once we have all the best gear, we can go out and see what's going on in this world.

After making up his mind, Tohru Tono turned his attention to the system.

To be honest, just listening to the announcements, he didn't quite understand what the system meant.

With a thought, Toru Tono created a virtual panel in front of him.

The panel is shaped like a technology tree, with almost all the patterns being gray, except for a blue module at the very bottom that is lit up.

It's a bit like the skill point allocation panel of a game he played in his previous life called 2077.

The lit module is clearly the only unlocked ability he has, the basic modification.

[Basic Modification: By interfering with reality through the system, and understanding the underlying principles, the host can modify any item to add the required functions. Cooldown: 3 hours]

Tohno understood; from now on, he would be Professor Agasa, the creator of cutting-edge technology.

But the question is, what level of understanding does this "understanding of the principle" actually mean? If he understands the principle, can he build a perpetual motion machine?

Further testing is needed.

Tohno Toru followed the tech tree upwards, wanting to see what the upgraded skills did, but the grayed-out modules that weren't unlocked were all marked with question marks, preventing him from seeing them.

stingy.

He then looked at the large module at the top and noticed that in addition to the lit blue [Detective Equipment] module, there were also red [Biological Enhancement] and green [Information Network] modules. However, they could not be activated, seemingly because they were not yet unlocked.

"Hey, why is this big brother standing here in a daze?"

A familiar, cute voice came from beneath me.

Tohru Tono glanced sideways at Conan, who was pretending to be young.

You've already been hit over the head, Conan-kun.

Pitiful.

Chapter 2: Thanks for the invitation, I won't eat bombs.

Tohru Tohno crouched down so that his line of sight was level with Conan's, and in the process, he also patted Conan's head.

He had wanted to do this since he watched anime in his previous life, and he never thought he would actually have the chance to enjoy it.

It feels really good in the hand, no wonder everyone likes to touch it... I just don't know how it feels to tap?

Conan looked at Tohru Toru, who had inexplicably raised a smile, with a strange expression, and subtly moved his hand away from his head.

I was thinking to myself, "How can this person be so rude?"

Only Lan can touch the top of his head!

Tohru Tohno didn't mind; as long as he had his fun, that was enough. Kids who get their heads touched too much won't grow tall.

"Is there anything I can help you with, little brother?" he asked with a smile.

……

As a high school detective who was shrunk by a sneak attack, Conan would naturally not make baseless accusations.

Just now, he learned an important piece of information by eavesdropping on two men in black who were most likely the culprits who caused him to shrink.

There's a time bomb in the train car! It will explode soon.

The bomb was hidden in a black briefcase, but the problem was that he didn't know who had the briefcase containing the bomb.

Having failed to get help from the train crew, he had no choice but to take on the mission of saving the train himself.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!

Through a brilliant deduction, he has now pinpointed the suspect's location to the non-smoking area on the second floor of car number seven in first class.

That is, the carriage where Toru Tono is.

……

"Hey, big brother, is that your seat?"

Conan pointed to the seat by the window and asked in an innocent and cute tone.

Toru Tono looked back and saw that it was indeed his seat.

Based on Conan's earlier intense staring at his black briefcase, he had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

The Shinkansen explosion incident!

As one of the earlier episodes of Detective Conan, Toru Tohno left a deep impression on me after watching it several times.

If I remember correctly, it was in the early stages of Conan where everyone seemed to be Gin, which ended up being a misunderstanding.

However, since there really was a bomb in the handbag, it was still somewhat dangerous.

No, it's extremely dangerous! The entire train could potentially be on its way to heaven!

How do ordinary people manage to bring bombs onto a train?

Please be more thorough with the security check!

Tohru Tohru silently reminded himself to be careful in everything he did in the future, because this world could never be judged by common sense.

Seeing that Tohru Tohru did not answer, Conan secretly raised his suspicion level by one notch in his mind.

It's the taste of a secret!

So he continued, "Big brother, did you go to the restroom just now? There are still traces of water on your fingertips."

"Ah, yes."

"Is it because you just ate at the dining car?"

"No, I just used the restroom normally."

"That……"

"Little brother."

Seeing that Conan was about to get to the bottom of things, Toru Tono quickly interrupted him.

Don't switch to Conan mode on me randomly.

Normally it wouldn't matter; he seems like an ordinary citizen who abides by the law.

But it won't work today.

After all, his black briefcase was really full of Japanese yen, which he had obtained through fraud... no, I mean, product sales.

Although it was mostly legal property, it was still a huge amount of cash from unknown sources, which was not something someone his age could earn.

If Conan finds out, the police will inevitably question him.

It's so annoying, and it would be terrible if some corrupt cop found a reason to detain me, and I'd be back to square one.

Detectives are such a hassle.

From now on, when you're out and about, beware of fire, theft, and spies.

"Little brother, are you lost? Do you want to borrow my phone to call your family?" Tohno asked Conan, feigning concern.

"Ah, no..."

What are your parents' phone numbers?

"no......"

"Ah, don't you remember?"

"But that's alright, shall I just take you to the train police?"

"It could be dangerous if you were out alone and encountered bad people."

"..."

"So I told you I wasn't lost!"

Conan, unable to contain himself any longer, roared out.

He's Shinichi Kudo, a famous high school detective! He's not a child, how could he possibly get lost!

Why does this person keep talking to himself and not give himself a chance to speak?

Conan.Angry like a pufferfish.jpg

"Okay, just kidding. I know you're not lost."

"You're playing a detective game, aren't you?" Tohno Toru looked at Conan's confused state and knew that he had already succeeded in half of his goal of shifting the blame.

He turned his gaze to the row of seats by the window and quickly spotted a woman wearing a purplish-red dress.

If he remembered correctly, that woman was one of the three targets in this case.

The young lady was gentle and beautiful; he was deeply impressed by her.

They just don't have high intelligence and are too easily fooled.

Tohru Tono stood up, reached out her hand, and guided Conan's gaze in that direction.

"If you want to ask about the food truck, go find that lady over there. I think I saw her walking towards the food truck when I went to the restroom earlier."

Conan followed Toru Tohno's gaze and discovered that the woman he was pointing to was one of the suspects.

Didn't she say she hadn't been to the dining car when I asked her earlier?

She is lying!

has a problem!

If someone deliberately conceals the fact that they've been to the dining car, they become highly suspicious.

"Big brother, thank you!"

The bomb was about to explode, and Conan hurriedly ran towards it.

Having already foreseen that chaos would soon ensue over there, Tohru Tohru breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down in his seat.

That would perfectly resolve the incident, right? Now the rest is up to Conan.
