"No, don't kill me!" Hu Batian's body trembled as he frantically shrank back. "If you dare kill me, neither the Sijing Group nor the police will let you off the hook. If you let me go, I'll give you endless wealth."

Jia Chen, expressionless, raised his finger and suddenly thrust it forward.

puff.

.

A sound like an airburst rang out, and an invisible finger gun pierced through the opponent's neck.

After turning on the gas pedal at the back of the car, Jia Chen threw the lighter inside and left without looking back.

Rumble...

An explosion rang out, and crimson light illuminated the darkness.

Jia Chen returned to the villa at lightning speed, and the moment he stepped under the eaves...

Rain suddenly began to fall from the sky, with water droplets continuously falling and splashing onto the stone bricks.

He looked up at the gloomy sky. "It's raining..."

...scholar.

Chapter 129 Tonight, holding me smells so good.

Jia Chen stood in the bathroom washing her hands and glanced at herself in the mirror.

The black trench coat was spotless, his black hair fell loosely over his forehead, his face was calm and composed, and his robust and strong physique gave off an unwavering sense of steadfastness...

After finding nothing suspicious, they walked outside.

"ah!!!!

A piercing, loud voice rang out; it was Ran Mouri's.

He walked unhurriedly to Ai Haibara's side and asked, "What happened?"

"The woman who just greeted you seems to have disappeared." When Ai Haibara saw that there were still water droplets on Gatatsu's hands, she took out a handkerchief and dried her hands. "Her suitors have all gone to find her now."

"Hmm... then he's probably gone." Jia Chen nodded, and sure enough... Conan made his move. "Let's go in a bit too."

"Five two three"

Xiao Ai nodded, her delicate nose catching a slightly different scent... She unconsciously moved closer to Jia Chen.

Previously, Jia Chen had a scent of incense on her body... but now that she's back, there's a faint smell of gunpowder, like from an explosive device. Although it's very faint, she can still smell it.

However, Ai didn't say much; as long as Jia Chen was alright, that was all that mattered.

“Ai…” Jia Chen reached out and touched Ai’s smooth forehead, looking down at Ai Haibara. “You smell so good holding me tonight, especially since we’re in a public place.”

If she doesn't stop herself... Ai is going to crash into him.

Ai Haibara was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and blushed with embarrassment.

qun5^⑶9*0-⒎9@yi2^六

She never expected Jia Chen to say that... ever since the last time she slept while holding Jia Chen.

These past few nights, she would always use the excuse of having nightmares or sleepwalking to sneak into bed after Jia Chen fell asleep, then gently massage Jia Chen's face for a while, and hold him while he slept.

"You... bastard!" Ai Haibara's cheeks burned, and she punched Gatsuki hard with her little fist.

Jia Chen: "..·

A short while later, the group returned with somewhat grim expressions.

By this time, most of the guests had left, leaving only Kogoro Mouri and his group, along with Reika Yotsuba's stalkers.

Kogoro Mouri sat quietly in his chair, silent... lost in thought.

The atmosphere was very solemn.

"Miss Reika has not been found yet... Nikaido is still..." Ichiro Takashi said, his hands on his knees, looking sad and sorrowful.

"Shut up!" Mifune, whose skin tone was comparable to Hattori's, said. "We still haven't found that woman. Maybe she's the one who killed Nikaido."

"No, I don't think so," Gojo said somewhat uncertainly. "Rika wouldn't do something like that, after all..."

“Yes, yes, Rika is so gentle, how could she do such a thing?” Rokuda also said.

“If you ask me…” Ichiro swallowed hard, his gaze shifting warily to Jia Chen, who was sitting in a chair looking at his phone, “that person is the most suspicious. After all, he wasn’t in our sight just now, and… when he came in, Miss Lihua even spoke to him.”

"Brother Jiachen would never kill anyone!!!" Ran Mouri immediately retorted, her brows furrowed.

Conan also looked at Ichiro with some displeasure, since he had just been with Kashin.

Jia Chen just went to the restroom... and if he really wanted to kill someone, there wouldn't be enough time!

Yi Zhilong was speechless, completely blocked...

“Even so, he must have had a motive,” Rokuta said. “I’ve heard some rumors about Miss Reika and this gentleman…”

“Yes, Miss Lihua just struck up a conversation with him,” Gojo chimed in from the side.

"Rumors are a flute played on speculation, suspicion, and conjecture." Ai Haibara stood calmly beside Jia Chen, her voice cool and detached. "If that's what you insist on believing, then we have nothing more to say..."

“I have the ability.” Jia Chen’s pale red eyes looked at the row of numbers without any emotion. “But I have no motive to kill.”

Upon seeing Jia Chen's somewhat cold gaze, everyone fell silent...

“Yes, I knew it. This gentleman is so dignified and upright. How could he possibly have a motive to kill?” Ichiro swallowed hard and quickly thought to himself.

"Yes, yes, this gentleman even brought a little girl to the banquet, so he must be a very kind person," Gojo said, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Just a moment ago, he even imagined the scene of his own death...

The Mori family standing nearby: "."

After analyzing a few more points, the group set off to find Yotsuba Reiko...

No one has called the police yet.

Because they don't know if it was Yotsuki Reiko who killed them. If it wasn't, that's fine. But if it was... after calling the police, the other person might be fine, but they'd probably be in big trouble.

Sometimes... when money reaches a certain level, it can influence and bury the truth.

"Kid Gachen, how did you get here?" Kogoro Mouri asked. "If you drove here, give us a ride."

As a renowned detective, he naturally knows which cases he can solve and which he cannot.

Both Nikaido's death and the disappearance of the Yotsubi Group's heiress have caused quite a stir, not to mention that the people gathered here are all powerful and influential.

In addition, this case seems to be related to previous events involving the Yotsubi Group, but those events were suppressed.

“No problem.” Jia Chen nodded.

He didn't plan to linger; the mission was complete, and the experiment remained uncertain...

He sensed the driver's murderous intent towards Hu Batian, though it wasn't obvious.

Most importantly, he was a little sleepy. (Old man 8607Ⅲ捌04)5@ ...

After continuously unleashing a barrage of Observation Haki, I'm feeling a bit mentally exhausted.

“But…” Ran Mouri said weakly, “Dad, you were a little drunk at the time, and the car tires were all deflated.”

"What! 2.7!!" Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened.

“My tires are special; the other party can’t deflate them,” Jia Chen said. “The car is also parked a long distance away.”

He checked when he arrived and found his car was in good condition; the tires hadn't been deflated.

"That's good, Ran, let's leave now." Kogoro Mouri breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wait..." Conan said, "The case isn't solved yet, why are you leaving? Isn't that what a detective should do?"

“If you want to stay here, that’s fine too,” Jia Chen said. “I’ll ask them to take care of you.”

Conan: "..."

Actually... it's not impossible. With his own abilities, he could solve the case and then guide others—it's that simple.

Chapter 130 What bad intentions could Xiao Ai possibly have?

Inside the car, Conan, with a bump on his head, looked at Kogoro Mouri with a resentful expression.

He originally intended to stay here alone, but Uncle Mori punched him, grabbed him by the neck, and threw him onto the car.

"This matter has little to do with us." Jia Chen glanced at Conan in the rearview mirror.

Kogoro Mouri, sitting in the back seat, also expressed his deep agreement.

They were invited because of Yotsuki Reika's birthday and Kogoro Mouri's reputation; it was just a lucky draw to add some fun.

Now that this has happened, it's none of their business to get involved...

Moreover, given the capabilities of the Yotsubi Group, they wouldn't need it.

"We can only hope that the police can find some useful clues," Conan said, reclining on the soft back seat.

"The police will definitely find clues," Ran Mouri nodded in agreement. "I hope Miss Reika is alright."

Ai Haibara, sitting in the passenger seat, remained silent after hearing this.

If things continue to develop this way... then that woman is probably in grave danger.

In the past, she... seemed to have some reluctance.
