The Black Detective of the Detective Conan World

However, Naoto Hayashi didn't care too much.

There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

In short, this chaotic night is finally over.

The next day, when Conan and Ran learned about the incident at the hospital, they were both shocked and frightened, and extremely worried.

Who would have thought that staying in the hospital would lead to a case? Beika Town is hopeless.

To express their apologies, the hospital wanted to arrange a new luxury ward for Kogoro so he could rest properly, but Kogoro refused.

He's a little scared now, always feeling that if he's alone, he might encounter a case that's been set up by someone.

They've been bitten by a snake once and are now afraid of ropes for ten years.

Left with no other choice, the hospital had to comply with Kogoro's wishes and arrange for him to stay in a three-person ward with three beds, each occupied by a patient.

Kogoro was satisfied.

Although it's not very quiet, with so many people around, surely we won't run into any more inexplicable cases, right? Hahahaha.

Ran, Conan, and Naoto Hayashi, who came to visit, chatted with him for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

Before leaving, Naoto Hayashi turned back and glanced at the name written on the doorplate.

Akabane Goemon.

Daisaburo Sekiguchi.

Kogoro Mori.

Hmm? These names... it feels like they're involved in some case again, right? Oh dear...

Chapter 134 Conan: Let's team up this time! To save them!

Naoto Hayashi left a small bee behind to monitor and protect Kogoro.

However, as soon as I stepped out the door, I saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses, looking exhausted, walking towards me and entering the ward with his head down.

Lin Zhiren looked over in surprise and saw that the man was emanating a faint aura of killing intent.

As expected, they've gotten involved in the case...

I have a feeling that this was something Kogoro Mouri brought upon himself, and it has little to do with Conan.

In addition, in the hospital corridor, Naoto Hayashi used his spiritual eyes to find several suspicious men who were secretly monitoring the area. They all looked familiar and seemed to be police officers who had previously worked with Inspector Megure on a case.

After eavesdropping on their conversation, Naoto Hayashi quickly figured out what had happened.

A week ago, a bank was robbed, and the robbers stole 100 million in cash. However, they got into a car accident while fleeing, and the driver was seriously injured and hospitalized.

That's Goemon Akabane, the one who shared a hospital room with Kogoro.

In order to catch the robber's accomplices, the police did not arrest the robber driver immediately, but instead secretly set up a perimeter in the hospital and closely monitored him.

However, no suspicious people have been spotted approaching in the past two days.

The bespectacled middle-aged man was the son of Sekiguchi Daisaburo, who was in the hospital room. He often came to visit his father, so no one suspected him.

After the bespectacled middle-aged man entered the ward, he secretly put a sleeping pill in the father's water.

He watched his father drink the sleeping pills, then left the ward with a worried expression and slowly went down the stairs.

Suddenly, a tall, burly man with a bald head appeared and stopped the middle-aged man in glasses.

The two were arguing fiercely in low voices.

It turned out that the middle-aged man with glasses had his daughter kidnapped, and his captors were using this to threaten him into killing the man named Akabane Goemon in the hospital room.

The kidnappers were the same group that robbed the bank a week ago!

Fearing that their accomplices would be arrested and implicate the rest of the group, they decided to kill them first.

The other person handed a pistol to the middle-aged man with glasses and told him to wait for the opportunity to enter the ward of the shark.

The bespectacled middle-aged man nervously entered the hospital lobby on the first floor, sitting trembling as he waited for his chance.

At this moment, Naoto Hayashi, Conan, and Ran also arrived on the first floor.

Conan suddenly said to Ran, "Ran-neechan, we were in such a rush this morning that we forgot to bring fruit for Uncle Mori."

Xiao Lan immediately exclaimed "Ah!" and seemed a little embarrassed.

She stuck out her tongue and said to Naoto and Conan, "Wait here for me a moment, I'm going to buy some for Dad, otherwise he'll definitely scold me later." Then she ran out.

Conan looked up, his expression turning serious.

“Naoto, you must have noticed it too, right? That person… probably has a relative who has been kidnapped and threatened to kill someone. He’s the guy named Akabane who was in the same hospital room as Uncle Mori.”

Naoto Hayashi looked at him in surprise.

You actually figured that out? Impressive, lad!

He had been using his spiritual eye and the little bee to monitor the situation from multiple points, and that's how he discovered the true nature of the case.

But Conan, relying solely on his keen intuition, meticulous observation, and information gleaned from a few words by passersby, deduced the details of the case!

Are you cheating?

Conan said confidently, "He looked panicked. Even though he had already visited his father, he lingered on the first floor of the hospital lobby and kept looking up at the rooftop of the shopping mall across the street... There's a children's amusement park there, so he must be worried about his child!"

In addition, he overheard a conversation between plainclothes police officers, learning that there was a patient in the ward who appeared to be a robber, and that there were several surveillance personnel in the lobby whose auras were clearly off...

This is definitely a kidnapping, threat of murder case!

Naoto Hayashi nodded slightly.

Impressive! Perhaps some information is missing from the reasoning process, but the judgments are mostly correct.

Lin Zhiren lowered his voice and said, "Are you telling me all this because you're planning to save someone?"

Conan glanced at him with satisfaction. When Lin Zhiren wasn't manipulating people's psychology, he was actually a very reliable and sharp detective! He must have already deduced what Conan could deduce.

He lowered his voice and said, "There are two problems now. One is that we are not sure how many of their people are here, and the second is how to control the monitor on the other side's rooftop."

Naoto Hayashi chimed in, "Once that person realizes this place has been exposed, he'll probably target the child immediately."

Conan looked up at Naoto Hayashi and said solemnly, "Let's join forces this time. We can't let innocent people bear the blame for the Shark Man's crimes!"

He had just sent Xiaolan away so that he could discuss cooperating with Lin Zhiren to save people.

Naoto Hayashi naturally had no objections; it was just saving people, something he'd done before.

Actually, even without him, Conan could have resolved this incident without any major incidents. Having him around simply made him more confident.

The two exchanged a glance, and an unspoken understanding arose between them.

Lin Zhiren whispered, "I'll go first. You keep an eye on how many people they have."

He got up and went to the middle-aged man with glasses, pretending to bump into him accidentally, which knocked the pistol out of the man's arms.

Lin Zhiren snatched it away, exclaiming in surprise, "Ah, isn't this my son's toy gun? I've finally found it!"

The middle-aged man with glasses: ?!

In the corner of the hall, the bald man and another man dressed as a policeman were startled and turned to look.

A cold glint flashed in Conan's eyes. He turned the switch on his right shoe, snatched a soccer ball from a nearby child, and kicked it with a powerful kick!

Boom!

The football, like a cannonball, flew out with tremendous force and hit the man dressed as a policeman squarely on the head!

The man was sent flying backwards, completely losing consciousness mid-air.

The soccer ball bounced back, and Conan volleyed it with a deafening roar. The terrifying ball slammed into the bald man's face, knocking him to the ground.

The entire attack took less than a second, as fast as lightning.

Many people in the hospital lobby noticed the commotion and gathered around. One of them, with a grim expression, suddenly turned and ran away, pulling out his phone to make a call.

Conan's expression changed drastically!

Oh no! There's one more!

It was too late to start playing football at that point!

Lin Zhiren suddenly raised his hand, and a golden light flashed instantly, shattering the man's phone with a crack!

The man was stung by the shards of the phone and screamed in pain. Suddenly, he felt something trip him up and fell to the ground with a thud.

Lin Zhiren came up behind him, silently retracted a large golden spider, and then pinned the man down.

Conan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

There were three people in total, and we won them all over!

If it weren't for Naoto Hayashi's help, the last person might have made the call, putting the kidnapped hostages in danger.

That's when things got complicated!

Only then did the middle-aged man in glasses finally react, his expression shifting as if he had been on a rollercoaster of emotions.

Suddenly he remembered something and cried out, "And my daughter..."

Naoto and Conan turned their heads together and looked at the rooftop across the street, where they could see a woman holding binoculars, glancing in their direction every now and then.

Conan asked, "Is it her?"

Lin Zhiren nodded: "That's right!" His spiritual eye had already confirmed the person's identity.

Conan's leg strength was enhanced, and current surged through his shoes. He swung his leg powerfully and kicked the soccer ball hard!

The football, like a shooting star, flew dozens of meters at an unimaginable speed and smashed hard into the woman's head.

boom!

The woman fell heavily to the ground like a wooden stake, losing consciousness.

Naoto Hayashi secretly wiped away a cold sweat. It was only in this world of Conan's science fiction that Conan's soccer skills could only injure but not kill.

Otherwise, given this terrifying power, his football could probably blow someone's head off in one hit!

Even the worst case scenario can leave someone in a vegetative state from being kicked.

However, Conan was undoubtedly the MVP in today's battle, scoring three kills all by himself!

Naoto Hayashi got one kill, plus an assist kill.

That's considered a small achievement.

Naoto Hayashi gave Conan a thumbs up.

Conan, somewhat embarrassed, pushed up his glasses, feeling incredibly pleased with himself!

That dog, Naoto Hayashi... sometimes he's actually quite reliable.

In that case, why don't we invite him to today's "Sherlock Holmes fan" gathering?

This is my way of thanking him!

Chapter 135 A Gathering of Sherlock Holmes Fans

The Sherlock Holmes fan gathering is a regular get-together for enthusiasts organized by the hotel owner.

It is said that the owner planned this event in order to attract tourists to his hotel.

To increase the appeal of the gathering, the owner will offer very attractive prizes to attract other enthusiasts to participate.

As a die-hard Sherlock Holmes fan, how could Shinichi Kudo miss such an opportunity?

He had signed up for the gathering more than half a year ago.

Unfortunately, the party application was approved, but Shinichi turned into Conan.

With the date of the gathering fast approaching, Conan is getting a little anxious.

He wanted to go, but... the gathering place was a bit far away, and Xiaolan would never let a primary school student go there by himself.

At the very least, there needs to be an adult guardian present.

Logically speaking, Kogoro Mouri would be the most suitable guardian, and then Ran could be brought along so the whole family could happily attend the gathering they've been longing for. Just thinking about it makes me happy.

As a result, Kogoro had an accident and was hospitalized.
