The Black Detective of the Detective Conan World

Naoto Hayashi smiled slightly; his prank had succeeded once again!

This fat man isn't a good person. Although he failed to kill the shark, he did poison it, so it should be considered an unsuccessful attempt to kill the shark. He felt no guilt whatsoever for scaring him.

Naoto Hayashi then looked at the gentle and beautiful Watanabe Yoshimi who was crying beside him, and wanted to trick her too. However, before he could even lift his leg, he saw a small figure appear in front of him!

It's Conan!

At this moment, Conan's face was ugly, his eyes flashing with anger and disgust, and he was about to explode!

This bastard in front of me has once again insulted the sacred profession of detective!

We unravel countless mysteries, searching for the truth, finding the murderer, and upholding justice!

Such a righteous and sacred name has been repeatedly smeared with money by this bastard!

He actually extorted money from the murderer and shamelessly uttered obscene words to exonerate him!

Ugly! Absolutely ugly!

Such a bastard doesn't deserve to be called a human being!

I will definitely expose your true colors!

I will find the real culprit and thwart your evil deal before you frame other innocent people!

In this way...

Hey?

Why do these words sound so familiar?

Conan was stunned. He then realized that his thoughts just now seemed to be exactly the same as when he overheard Naoto Hayashi secretly making a "five million" deal with the suspect!

Last time, Naoto Hayashi's so-called exoneration was actually the discovery of the real culprit.

Is he planning to use the same old trick again this time?!

Could it be that this fat man isn't the real killer? Then why did he accept this extortion deal?

Surely he's not so stupid that he doesn't even know whether he killed someone or not?

Conan was a little dumbfounded; the CPU in his brain went crazy again, and the temperature soared.

Lin Zhiren was too lazy to deal with the little brat who was constantly monitoring and eavesdropping on him. Instead, he strolled into the living room, cleared his throat, and said, "Everyone, a murder has occurred here. Please do not disturb the scene or move around. Please wait quietly for the police to arrive."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. Even the middle-aged beauty, Minagawa Sayuri, paled. Her face, which was already pale, became as white as paper.

Soon, the police arrived, led by Inspector Megure and his subordinates.

However, Kogoro Mouri also arrived at the same time!

This guy greeted Inspector Megure with a grin and then unceremoniously joined the investigation team.

Inspector Megure was also delighted by Mori's appearance. The previous two collaborations had gone quite smoothly, and Mori's reasoning had been very effective. He hoped that his brother could continue to perform well this time so that he could quickly close the case and go home.

Police cordoned off the scene, examined the body, and searched for clues.

The clues were quickly gathered: the deceased died of poisoning, and the cigarette butts found at the scene were poisoned! Furthermore, the chocolate he was holding was also poisoned! Additionally, the coffee the deceased had drunk was also poisoned!

There are three suspects:

Watanabe is so beautiful!

Sayuri Minagawa!

Naomichi Tanaka!

Choose one of the three classics!

Upon seeing the poisoned cigarette butts, Naomichi Tanaka was so overwhelmed that he almost collapsed to his knees and confessed.

But when he saw Lin Zhiren wink at him, it gave him a little more confidence, and he stubbornly refused to kneel.

Two more pieces of evidence containing drugs were found, leaving Tanaka Naomichi dumbfounded. He looked at Hayashi Naoto as if he were God.

Holy crap, when did he do this? I didn't even notice...

Now that there are two more suspects involved in the poisoning, doesn't that reduce my suspicion?

But this young man is really vicious. He even dragged the deceased's mother and girlfriend into it. He's utterly inhuman... It's terrifying.

So, does that mean I might actually... be able to escape punishment?

Even if the attempt to poison the shark failed, it's still better than the shark!

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri was staring intently at the evidence at the scene, racking his brains to deduce the truth.

Meanwhile, Conan was also deep in thought.

If there were only one piece of evidence, the murderer would be easy to identify. But now there are three pieces of evidence involving drugs, and they point to three different people, which makes things a bit complicated.

Conan looked at the cigarette butt among the evidence, and suddenly a brilliant idea flashed into his mind!

The cigarette filter was separate from the cigarette! This was the deceased's smoking habit; he didn't like cigarette filters!

So, doesn't that mean the fat guy was the first one to be eliminated?!

He really wasn't the killer?!

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Conan goes berserk again!

Chapter 16 Kogoro might really be a genius

Naoto Hayashi saw the restless and agitated...

He smiled slightly at the fat man, Tanaka Naomichi, and then openly approached Kogoro, whispering something in his ear.

The fat man was shocked!

Holy crap, are you colluding on the spot? Is there even time? You absolutely must take this million!

As Kogoro Mouri listened, he nodded, his eyes gleaming with the light of wisdom!

After listening to the story, a look of smug satisfaction appeared on his face.

His expression hardened immediately, and he drew an arc in the air with his arm, pointed forcefully, and shouted: "You are the prisoner!"

"Katsuhiko's mother, Sayuri Minagawa!"

Those present were utterly bewildered and incredulous.

A mother poisoning her own son?!

How is that possible?

Kogoro Mouri, like a true detective, confidently deduced: "First, there's the cigarette butt. The filter and the cigarette were separate, which was the deceased's smoking habit. He didn't touch the poison on the filter."

Fat man Tanaka Naomichi breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been completely exhausted.

“Secondly, there’s the poisoned chocolate. The deceased just ate it…” Kogoro was saying when Naoto Hayashi whispered in his ear again, so Kogoro immediately changed his tune: “The deceased didn’t eat this chocolate! Because it’s not the one Watanabe Yoshimi gave to the deceased. It was switched. You can ask the police to check it to see if there is Ms. Watanabe’s fingerprint on it.”

Watanabe Yoshimi also breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had been completely exhausted.

"Finally, there was the poisoned coffee. The deceased drank the coffee, and the poison only took effect some time later. And this... was the work of Mrs. Minagawa!"

For a moment, the four people present were speechless, unsure how to defend themselves.

Inspector Megure, standing nearby, asked in bewilderment, "Brother Mori, the coffee was poisoned... How did the killer manage to get the victim to choose that poisoned coffee?"

"Huh?" Kogoro Mouri was taken aback, clearly not expecting this. He scratched his head and guessed wildly, "Perhaps all the coffee is poisoned? That way, no matter which cup the deceased chooses, they can't escape it."

Sonoko exclaimed, "But we all drank coffee!" The others nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with suspicion as they looked at Kogoro.

Kogoro Mouri chuckled awkwardly a few times, then, recalling the clues his assistant Naoto Hayashi had just provided, a sudden inspiration struck him: "You guys drank coffee and ate snacks! That's right, snacks! The murderer must have put the antidote in the snacks, but the deceased didn't eat any! That's why he was poisoned!"

Ouch!

The scene was so absurd and ridiculous. Could such a famous detective really have come up with this?

First drink the poison, then take the antidote. This way, everyone present will feel nothing, while only the target will be poisoned.

Are you serious?

Inspector Megure covered his face with his hand. "Brother Mori, you were reliable twice already, why are you talking nonsense again?"

Just as everyone fell silent, still thinking about how to refute the famous detective, Minagawa Sayuri suddenly knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down her face.

"That's right, Keyan is my shark..."

Everyone present was stunned.

Everyone's mouths were agape, completely dumbfounded.

You actually poisoned all the coffee? And then put the antidote in the desserts? What if someone doesn't like sweets? Wouldn't they all be poisoned to death?!

Sonoko and the other two girls turned pale, covered their mouths, and rushed into the bathroom, vomiting violently.

The other men also looked unwell, exchanging glances, and seemed to want to vomit as well...

Mixing poison and antidote? Are you kidding me?

This is just like young people staying up all night and burning the midnight oil while drinking goji berries for health. Are you serious?

Xiaolan's face was also pale, and she asked weakly, "Dad, is this really okay?"

Kogoro Mouri had only guessed casually, but he didn't expect to actually guess the truth. He originally wanted to laugh out loud and show off his reputation as a famous detective, but he panicked when he saw his daughter's expression.

"Even if you take the antidote... it's still better to get her to the hospital for a stomach lavage and examination as soon as possible!"

That's a deadly poison!

Chaos erupted at the scene. The ambulances that had arrived with the police cars were not enough, so the police called several more vehicles and loaded everyone who had drunk coffee and eaten snacks into the vehicles and sent them to the hospital for emergency gastric lavage.

Even Conan couldn't escape it; he was caught by the doctor and put into an ambulance.

But at this moment, Conan had no time to struggle; he was still deduce the course of the case in his mind.

Cigarette butt...chocolate...coffee...

It's beyond repair!

No matter how you look at it, the murderer is none other than Ms. Minagawa Sayuri!

But how is that possible?

Did they let that fat guy, Tanaka Naomichi, get away with it?

No, that's not right! He wasn't a criminal to begin with.

But but... there still seems to be something wrong... Otherwise, why would that bastard Lin Zhiren blackmail Fatty? And the fat man agreed...

He glanced at Uncle Mori, who was laughing heartily with his hands on his hips, and a thought involuntarily popped into his mind: Perhaps he really is a genius...

At this moment, Minagawa Sayuri knelt on the ground, crying as she recounted what had happened. She said that all she wanted was money, and that Minagawa Katsuhiko was not her biological son...blah blah blah.

Inspector Megure was overjoyed. He patted Kogoro on the shoulder and laughed heartily, "Brother Mouri, you're amazing! You saw through such an unimaginable crime at a glance. You truly deserve to be called a detective! I'll have to rely on you a lot from now on."

Kogoro Mouri awkwardly scratched the back of his head and laughed somewhat guiltily, but as he laughed, he regained his composure and became carried away.

By this time, no one was paying attention to the deceased anymore, so Naoto Hayashi quietly approached the body.

Above the corpse's head, a sphere of soul light floated.

Lin Zhiren instantly switched his soul body and took a deep breath, drawing the soul orb into his mouth.

This time, the Soul Flavor has a subtle tobacco taste, but it's not pungent at all; instead, it has an irresistible, delightful aroma.

Lin Zhiren closed his eyes and savored the moment for a long time before reluctantly taking out the prepared sins, wrapping the soul in them, and putting them away.

Such a delicious dish cannot be swallowed whole at once; it must be savored slowly.

Once I've collected enough souls, I can fill my stomach with just a sip from each one.

The murderer, Ms. Sayuri Minagawa, was taken away in handcuffs. Naoto Hayashi walked to the spot where she had just knelt down and confessed, looked down and searched, and sure enough, he found another small lump of soft mud-like sin.

With this bag of sins in his pocket, Naoto Hayashi breathed a sigh of relief; he had gotten what he wanted.

Just then, he suddenly shuddered, feeling something fall from the void like raindrops onto him.

Lin Zhiren turned his head and saw wisps of white spiritual matter growing on his shoulder, radiating a sense of peace and light.

It's a good deed!
