The Black Detective of the Detective Conan World

Isn't it just a plan to kill the old patriarch?

Actually, you don't need to look for me, I'm already dead...

Ok?

No!

They don't know about this yet...

Then wouldn't I be able to pull off a major job?!

Thinking of this, Naoto Hayashi happily got up, and the two went to a secluded spot.

Before the second son, Hatakemoto Shoji, could speak, Hayashi Naoto preemptively said, "You want to get rid of the old patriarch? Fine, but it will cost ten million."

Shoji Hatamoto was startled, but he quickly realized that the Mori detective must have secretly communicated with his assistant.

Sure enough, the famous detective himself never took the initiative to engage in any illegal activities; it was always his assistant who did it.

So the assistant speaks very directly, without any attempt to conceal anything.

That's a really clear division of labor. Even if something goes wrong later, it can be said to be the assistant's personal behavior, and has nothing to do with the famous detective.

He truly lives up to his reputation as the "Master Detective with a Black Hand".

He nodded slightly, agreeing to the price.

Ten million is not cheap, but compared to acquiring the assets of the Hatamoto Group, this amount is just a drop in the ocean.

value!

Just as he was about to leave, he remembered something and turned back to instruct, "The prisoner must not implicate me, but you can do as you please with the other family members."

I paid for it! So I can do whatever I want with it!

It would be excellent to take this opportunity to eliminate one or two rivals in the inheritance dispute!

Naoto Hayashi smiled and said, "Don't worry."

Shoji Hatamoto left satisfied.

Just as Naoto Hayashi was about to return to his seat, he saw his eldest daughter, Mariko, and her husband, Mr. Kitarou, walking over with dark faces: "We heard everything! That bastard Shoji... We'll also contribute ten million, and you'll pin the blame on him!"

Lin Zhiren said with difficulty, "I'm afraid that won't work. He put forward the conditions first, and I can't go back on my word."

The eldest daughter, Mariko, said angrily, "Fine, then, ten million! You can't shift the blame onto us!"

Naoto Hayashi nodded and smiled, "Okay."

Mariko wanted to say more, but then she saw her eldest granddaughter Akie walking over, so she quickly left.

The eldest granddaughter, Qiu Jiang, watched the group leave furtively and asked suspiciously, "Lin Sang, they just mentioned the commission to you, right? Did you agree?"

Naoto Hayashi nodded and smiled, "Yes, ten million each."

Qiu Jiang was stunned for a moment, but then he realized what was happening and his face turned dark: "You two bastards! I... I'll give you ten million too! Don't drag me into this!"

Naoto Hayashi nodded and made an "OK" sign with his hand.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief and left, still shaken.

Damn, that was close! I almost got framed as a murder suspect by my own family!

Judging from that Mori detective's legendary record, he truly believed that whoever he pointed to was the murderer!

The evidence is irrefutable and cannot be refuted!

He not only murders people, but also tries to destroy their hearts. Each time, the suspects who are tricked end up kneeling down and confessing their crimes!

That's absolutely terrifying!

Luckily, I was clever. A mere ten million not only got rid of that old thing, but also made my pan completely non-stick. It was totally worth it!

Qiu Jiang only asked that the blame not be imposed on her, and she didn't mention her husband, Long Nan, at all.

That bastard is a scumbag. Qiu Jiang and he argue every day, and it looks like they're about to get a divorce.

Who cares if he lives or dies!

Naoto Hayashi also breathed a sigh of relief.

This family is full of talented people.

They're sabotaging each other; it's completely shattered my worldview.

Just as he was about to return to his seat, he saw another person emerge from around the corner. It was none other than Mr. Xiao Wu, the husband of Miss Xia Jiang!

The young man was pale and his eyes were filled with horror. He had obviously overheard the conversation between several members of the Hatamoto family and Naoto Hayashi regarding their request!

You all deserve to die!

The old man only has a few family members. If you remove them one by one, then I'll be the only one left, right?

And I'm the most suspicious one!

Because I just had a fight with my husband...

He had also heard the dark rumors about the famous detective. After all, he was the son-in-law of a prominent family and had access to such information, but he always thought they were baseless rumors and not worth believing.

But now, he believes it!

Ten million each, that's thirty million!

Is this some kind of trap?!

No, no! We can't let this happen!

Should we stop the famous detective from committing crimes? Or should we remind the old man to be careful?

Can……

But the old man... he really deserves to die...

Then how about...

Mr. Xiao Wu approached Lin Zhiren tremblingly, a hint of despair and ruthlessness in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "I'll also contribute ten million! You're not allowed to pin the blame on me!"

Lin Zhiren readily agreed, saying, "Okay, no problem."

Mr. Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling limp and powerless, but his heart was revived.

If the old man dies, will no one know his original identity? Actually, I'm not here to take revenge on the Hatamoto family. After all, I married Xia Jiang because I truly love her!

Unfortunately, the old man doesn't believe me, so I'll just have to shut you up...

Yes, and I didn't intend to kill the old man. I just asked the famous detective not to take the blame upon himself, so I didn't wrong Xia Jiang.

Xiao Wu felt relieved and returned to the restaurant.

Naoto Hayashi turned around and saw Conan sitting next to Ran at the dining table, staring intently at him.

He had clearly noticed that he was secretly talking to a member of the Hatamoto family.

However, no murders have occurred yet, so Conan is not vigilant enough and has failed to realize that Naoto Hayashi is plotting something big.

He was just wondering why all these people were talking to Naoto Hayashi in private.

What are they talking about?

Why do some people look happy, some look unhappy, and some look relieved after a conversation ends?

What are they talking about?

That's so intriguing!

How awful!

Is that bastard Naoto Hayashi secretly up to something?!

Next time, we must plant a listening device on him!

After a long time, even Ichiro Hatamoto, who had just committed the murder, took a bath, changed his clothes, and returned, pretending nothing had happened, and sat down at the dining table.

His mother, Mariko, warned him in a low voice, "Ichiro, don't run around later. Stay here and behave yourself. Something big is going to happen soon."

Hatamoto Ichiro paused for a moment, puzzled, and said, "Oh, okay. What's the big deal?"

Father Beilang broke out in a cold sweat and hissed, "Don't ask so many questions! Shut up and watch carefully."

So he sat idly in the restaurant waiting.

Even the most carefree Kogoro Mouri noticed this strange atmosphere and couldn't help but look around.

"Huh? What happened? Why does everyone look so tense?"

"By the way, when is your husband coming out for dinner? It's almost nine o'clock at night. Even if he's been throwing a tantrum for so long, he should have calmed down by now, right?"

"I'm so hungry."

Xiaolan felt a little embarrassed: "Dad, please don't do this."

The servant, standing nearby, noticed something was amiss and told the servant that something was wrong. He then proceeded to investigate the matter, revealing the truth behind the attack.

He turned and left.

A moment later, the old butler let out a horrifying scream that echoed throughout the entire cruise ship!

Woohoo!

In the restaurant, everyone suddenly pushed back their chairs and stood up!

The members of the Hatamoto family could not hide their shock, awe, reverence, and a hint of unspoken delight.

Chapter 42 Terrifying

Is this... a success?

Holy crap! That fast?

Also, when did he make the move?

They just accepted the commission here, and within half an hour they'd taken out the target?

Is this the efficiency and skill of "The Mastermind Detective"?!

Horror!

That's outrageous!

No, I absolutely cannot offend this guy; I must befriend him.

The money must be paid in full, down to the last penny!

However... it's not enough to just be a shark; the next step is to see how he "deduces" the right killer.

No, it's deducing the "real" killer!

Which unlucky person will be chosen?

The members of the Hatamoto family glanced around, observing the other members with a hint of schadenfreude.

These people are still hesitant, while the Mori family, who have recently encountered a series of incidents, have sensed the presence of a case.

Kogoro Mouri took the lead and rushed towards the old patriarch's room, followed closely by Conan, and then Ran, who was worried about him.

As for Naoto Hayashi, he got up slowly and strolled around without any hurry.

He has already sent bees to keep a close watch on the murderer, in case he destroys the murder weapon and evidence.

This time, Naoto Hayashi not only witnessed the entire process of the murderer's crime, but also saw him hide the murder weapon, so he wasn't flustered at all.

Everything is under control!

You can simply sit back and watch Conan leap and bound, searching for clues and analyzing the reasoning.

When he's about to find the real culprit, I'll deliver the fatal blow!

There's nothing I can do; I haven't been able to demonstrate any value in several cases in a row, as Conan has solved them all through deduction.

Then it was attributed to "Sleeping Kogoro".

If I lose Kogoro Mouri's trust, how will I continue to work as his assistant and steal cases?

What's more, after solving cases time and time again, Conan's confidence has skyrocketed, and he's become less respectful and polite to me, even lecturing me from time to time.

What is this? This is the Rebellion of Heaven!
