The Black Detective of the Detective Conan World

Fearing suspicion, he secretly fled, only to be spotted by Mrs. Maru Inako who was following behind, which deepened the misunderstanding.

After figuring out the whole thing, Naoto Hayashi's mischievous spirit was burning brightly and he couldn't suppress it at all.

We must give them a job!

He strolled over to Mrs. Maru Inako, looking at this still elegant woman in a kimono, and smiled slightly:

“Madam, you don’t want Dr. Hatano to be arrested, do you? I can help him get off the hook, for ten million.”

Mrs. Maru Inako's pupils dilated sharply, and she abruptly turned to Hayashi Naoto, looking as if she had seen a ghost.

How did he know?

Did he see it or deduce it?

This person is a detective's assistant, so does this mean he is a detective?

And the police...

Ah!

She suddenly recalled the conversation between Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Megure. What seemed like an ordinary conversation now appeared to have hidden meanings, and it was quite chilling to think about.

[Brother Mori...with you here, we can solve the case quickly...]

[To die wherever you go...that's too exaggerated...]

"...Dead people have absolutely nothing to do with me..."

Mrs. Maru Inako couldn't help but shudder.

Could their conversation be implying that they are conspiring to fabricate evidence, even commit murder, and then pin the blame on an innocent person?

The real culprit can pay money to get away with it?!

Otherwise, how could a mere detective "die wherever he goes"?

It's always the detective chasing death, never death chasing the detective.

Thinking of her lover, Dr. Hatano Ikaya's, suspicious behavior, Mrs. Maru Inako immediately lowered her head guiltily.

She definitely cheated on her husband!

Although this matter had nothing to do with him, the police believed he couldn't clear his name at all!

The most reasonable inference is that the adulterous couple secretly conspired against each other!

Otherwise, why would a mere doctor's lover risk killing his sugar daddy, who is the chairman of a large corporation?

Therefore, removing the doctor is equivalent to removing yourself!

We absolutely cannot let this matter get out and implicate ourselves!

"Useless! He can't even do a proper job as a shark." Mrs. Maru Inako glanced angrily at her lover before turning to Hayashi Naoto and nodding slightly.

Ten million? Worth it!

Naoto Hayashi smiled slightly; his prank had succeeded.

He turned his head and met Conan's gaze on the other side.

This time, Conan did not show any bitter hatred in his eyes, nor was he shocked by this blatantly dark exchange.

Because he knew that Lin Zhiren, that bastard, must have seen through the truth beforehand, so he went to deceive the suspect!

What's outrageous is that he succeeded every time!

I don't know how confused those suspects were. They didn't do it themselves, yet they all took the blame upon themselves.

That's absolutely outrageous!

Mrs. Maru Inako also noticed Naoto Hayashi's gaze and then saw Conan.

Her expression changed at first, somewhat flustered that a child had overheard her shady deal, but then she saw Conan turn his head with an expression that seemed familiar and unsurprised.

Mrs. Maru Inako was shocked once again: Even their children behaved like this! How many times had they been exposed to shady deals?

That's incredibly arrogant!

However...

What does it mean that something even children know has never gone wrong?

This explains why everyone in front of you—the detective, the inspector, the police officer, the assistant…—is part of the same group!

Everyone here is on my side, so are you scared?

Making enemies with them might be tantamount to suicide, but making shady deals with them would be foolproof!

At this point, Kogoro Mouri began to arbitrarily suspect the suspects, and the suspects started arguing and proving that they had various reasons for their innocence.

Naoto Hayashi quietly approached Kogoro Mouri from behind and began to whisper in his ear.

Having witnessed this situation several times before, Inspector Megure immediately stared at Kogoro, knowing that a famous deduction was about to unfold!

As for his assistant... he hadn't paid much attention to her.

Just like his mediocre subordinates, they are diligent and hardworking in finding clues and investigating relationships, making them excellent tools, but when it comes to solving cases, they are all useless.

When faced with a murder case, it's either a suicide or the work of an outside robber. Even if there's only one suspect, they can let him go!

Presumably, this assistant is the same; she can find clues, but the ability to integrate and reason is still best left to a master detective!

I'm so tired, I guess I'll have to rely on my brother Mori.

Conan, who was watching the scene closely, noticed many suspicious points, but he was always just a little short of making a definitive conclusion. It seemed that the key to solving the case lay in the messy knife marks on the wooden cabinet!

But what exactly is it?

Just then, Kogoro Mouri slammed his fist down and exclaimed in surprise, "I know! So the prisoner's name was engraved on this wooden cabinet!"

Snapped!

Conan collapsed headfirst.

I felt a profound emptiness, as if everything had been completely out of the ordinary.

This is outrageous!

Chapter 27 Even Fake Can Become Real

To be honest.

Naoto Hayashi couldn't quite understand the criminal's psychology.

If you clearly see your name engraved on a wooden cabinet, isn't the right thing to do to set it on fire and destroy the evidence?

If all else fails, you could break open the carved wooden cabinet drawer and take it with you, right?

This person, first, used a knife to scratch the surface, and when they realized they couldn't cover it up, they rearranged the drawers in the wooden cabinet.

All I can say is that anyone who was even slightly observant at the scene would have noticed this flaw, since the knife marks on the cabinet are not continuous.

It gives people a very awkward feeling!

So when Kogoro Mori arranged all the drawers in the correct order as Naoto Hayashi instructed, a huge name appeared.

【Suwa】! (Japanese writing すわ, not many strokes)

All eyes instantly focused on Suwa Yuuji, the master of the sword dojo.

The man was sweating profusely, never expecting that the evidence he had painstakingly concealed would be so easily seen through by the famous detective!

This is irrefutable evidence left by the deceased before his death, and no matter how many tricks or excuses he makes up, it is difficult to overturn.

If he had stubbornly denied it, or claimed it was a frame-up by someone else, he could have come up with a few more excuses.

However, if the police use this conclusion as a starting point, and add other minor flaws, they still won't be able to escape.

Struggling becomes meaningless.

Soon, the man's shoulders slumped, and he began to recount his motives for the murder with a mixture of anger and despair.

It's nothing more than that bastard Maru Denjiro did this and that to my precious collateral, and he even mocked me and stole my money, blah blah blah...

In short, this guy deserved to die!

But the police don't care about any of that; if you hurt someone, it's your fault!

They were handcuffed, pushed into a police car, and taken away.

As he was leaving, Yuji Suwa glanced back at Kogoro Mouri and whispered in admiration, "You truly are a master detective. You were able to ignore all my elaborate tricks, striking cleanly and decisively, hitting the nail on the head, and deciding the outcome in an instant! If you could also practice swordsmanship, you would probably be a sword saint..."

"Hahahaha, you flatter me, you flatter me!" Kogoro Mouri laughed heartily, so pleased with himself that his tongue was sticking out.

The other suspects were cleared of suspicion and breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Maru Inako was dumbfounded.

She wasn't surprised that someone confessed, but rather shocked that this famous detective could actually spell out a name from the knife marks!

And he's one of the suspects!

That's right, she still firmly believes that the murderer is her lover, Dr. Hatano Ikuya.

After all, she saw it with her own eyes, how could it be fake?

The so-called "solving of the case" is clearly just the famous detective Kogoro Mouri piecing together an irrefutable piece of evidence using knife marks on the cabinet!

This kind of "ironclad evidence" is basically impossible to overturn.

Just like the previous "museum murder case," if Kogoro hadn't deduced that the note in the victim's hand was a forgery, the name on it would have become irrefutable evidence against the murderer!

Inspector Megure almost closed the case with this.

And this time is no different.

When that "name" appeared in the dark search, everything was settled, and no one could overturn the case.

What's even more ingenious is that the police pulled out the drawers as evidence, packed them up, and took them away, so even if others had any doubts, they no longer had the opportunity to examine them carefully.

Once these things get into the hands of those people, even if they're not real, they can eventually become real!

Mrs. Maru Inako looked at Kogoro Mouri with a hint of awe and deep fear.

He can turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist; the title of "famous detective" is well-deserved!

The last words spoken by the "criminal" Suwa Yuji before leaving were likely a strong satire, mocking Kogoro for using irrefutable false evidence to "destroy" him!

Kogoro Mouri responded with a triumphant, maniacal laugh.

Arrogant! Extremely arrogant!

Mrs. Maru Inako felt her legs were going weak.

Such a brazen man is simply brimming with masculine charm!

Then look at that cowardly lover over there, trembling with cold sweat, looking as if he'd been freed from all pain. The difference between the two is like heaven and earth!

The difference is huge!

"Hmph." Mrs. Maru Inako snorted coldly, deciding that after this incident, she would dump this useless man and cut ties completely.

To avoid being dragged down by his foolish actions again.

What's more, now that her husband is dead, Maru Denjiro's vast fortune will soon fall into her hands!

When I have money, I can have any kind of lover I want.

Even raising a dozen or so fierce little puppies wouldn't be a problem at all!

No longer do you have to sneak around, fearing that your husband will find out you're having an affair.

She glanced at Naoto Hayashi next to Kogoro Mouri, then stuck out her tongue and licked her red lips.

This little guy is quite handsome, it's a pity he's one of Detective Mori's men... How about we test him out during tomorrow's transaction?

At this moment, Naoto Hayashi was unaware that he was being targeted by a married woman.

Unnoticed, he approached the body and looked at the sphere of soul light floating in mid-air.

Switch soul form!

suck!

The soul orb was put into my mouth; this time it tasted slightly soft and chewy, like a freshly baked cake.
