The Black Detective of the Detective Conan World

He looked at Naoto Hayashi. Conan had said that Naoto Hayashi knew his true identity and had some understanding of the Black Organization, so he should be considered one of their own.

"Shinichi must have mentioned information about the Black Organization to you before, right? What are you going to do now?"

Naoto Hayashi said, "Isn't Conan trying to uncover the secrets of the Black Organization? This girl might be able to help."

"I was wondering if you could help me settle her in here, Professor Agasa? Besides, she may have also taken that drug, so perhaps she knows something about it, which could help you in your research on the antidote."

Dr. Agasa nodded repeatedly: "Okay, no problem! I have plenty of empty rooms here, let her stay here. Those men in black shouldn't be able to find this place. When she wakes up, I'll ask her about her relationship with the Black Organization first, and then we'll decide whether to notify Shinichi."

Lin Zhiren was relieved.

He turned to look at the girl's soaked clothes and said to Professor Agasa, "Okay, I'll go buy her some suitable clothes and ask Ran to come over and help her change. She's just been caught in the rain and is prone to catching a cold."

Dr. Agasa chuckled and said, "Lin-san, you're very observant. By the way, we still don't know her name. Her original name probably can't be used anymore, right? How about I help her come up with a name?"

Dr. Agasa is very enthusiastic about this.

When Professor Agasa thought of the combination of the name "Edogawa Conan," he decided to use the name of a female detective as a model.

The name is taken from Cordelia Gray, meaning "gray".

The "I" in Viktoria Warshawski's name is pronounced like "love."

In the end, they decided to call her "Ai Haibara".

Naoto Hayashi didn't say anything, knowing that in the end it would definitely be changed to "sorrow".

The two agreed on a story, saying that the girl was the child of a relative of Professor Agasa. Naoto Hayashi then called Ran and asked her to come and help.

Naoto Hayashi then drove to a nearby children's clothing store and bought several sets of clothes, from the inside out.

When he returned to Professor Agasa's house, he found that Ran had already arrived and had helped the little girl dry off and wrapped her in a bath towel.

However, because she had been caught in the rain and was overly frightened, the girl had a fever and was still dazed and unconscious.

Left with no other choice, Naoto Hayashi had to make another trip to the pharmacy and buy a lot of fever-reducing medicine.

By the time everything was settled and the little girl's condition stabilized, it was already dark.

Naoto Hayashi drove Ran to her office. On the way, Ran reminded him that tomorrow was the day to go to Sonoko's villa in the mountains.

Naoto Hayashi was somewhat surprised: "Tomorrow? Time really flies."

In his opinion, recent events have been happening one after another, making his daily life incredibly fulfilling.

Sonoko arranged a time for him after the "Bloody Wedding," and then he encountered the "1 Billion Yen Heist," the death of Miyano Akemi, a fierce battle with Gin and Vodka, a spiritual upgrade and new abilities... and finally found Haibara Ai.

Thinking about it this way, I realize I've actually accomplished quite a few great things.

But tomorrow's another day off? Students in this world are so lucky...

I didn't get to experience such a good thing back then.

……

The next day, Naoto Hayashi drove to the Mouri Detective Agency and picked up Ran, Sonoko, and Conan.

Sonoko could have gone earlier, but she came along to ride with Hayashi Naoto so that she could get closer to him.

However, she was quite unhappy that Conan, that little brat, also came along, feeling that Ran spoiled him too much.

Ran had no choice; Conan kept insisting on going, and she was too soft-hearted to say no.

Conan stared at Naoto Hayashi, who was driving, with deadpan eyes.

Haha, how could I let Xiaolan be alone with this bastard?

We'll also be spending the night in a mountain villa...

That's dangerous just thinking about it!

We must keep an eye on him!

To prevent that bastard from harming Xiaolan...

The mountain villas in Gunma Prefecture are not far from Beika Town; it only takes two hours to drive there.

However, the last stretch of road was a suspension bridge, which the car could not cross, so Naoto Hayashi had to park the car and the group got out and walked to the villa.

The group chatted and laughed as they arrived at the suspension bridge. Just as they were about to cross, they saw a figure in a black cloak appear on the other side of the bridge.

The man suddenly turned around, his head and face wrapped in bandages, his exposed eyes bloodshot, looking ferocious and terrifying, like a corpse that had jumped out of a morgue!

Chapter 57 The Mountain Villa's Strange Murder Plan

The bandaged weirdo!

Everyone, including Naoto Hayashi, was taken aback, and some were even frightened.

Lin Zhiren reacted quickly; with a flick of his finger, a golden bee immediately flew out to monitor from the air.

The man with the bandages clearly hadn't expected so many people to suddenly appear.

He intended to create a terrifying atmosphere and fabricate the identity of a "bandaged monster," but he didn't expect so many people to come.

It's like telling a ghost story to one person after the lights are off versus telling a ghost story to a group of people. Will the effect be the same?

Conan, being the bravest, and with Naoto Hayashi by his side, rushed out without saying a word!

How dare you try to play tricks on me, the famous detective Shinichi Kudo?

I'd like to see who you are!

Ran exclaimed, "Conan!" and chased after him.

Naoto Hayashi immediately followed.

Sonoko stomped her foot angrily and started running after them.

The man with the bandages turned around and was completely stunned.

Aren't you guys scared if I didn't look this terrifying? What the hell are you chasing me for?!

Hurry up and run away!

Conan gives chase!

Xiao Lan chased after him relentlessly!

Lin Zhiren gave chase!

Yuanzi gives chase!

If you look down from the sky, the bandaged monster at the front is fleeing in a sorry state, and there is no sense of terror at all.

However, in the end, that person still managed to escape.

The strange man with the bandage disappeared into the forest, weaving left and right, leaving Conan and Ran behind.

Seeing that they had all stopped, Naoto Hayashi stopped chasing them.

Sonoko arrived breathlessly, resting her hands on her knees, and looked at the group speechlessly.

"Phew, you guys... phew, what are you chasing after anyway?"

Conan was a little embarrassed and pretended to be a child, saying, "Haha, I thought that person was playing a ghost-catching game with us."

Sonoko gave him a hard tap on the head: "You little brat! Don't run around like that next time!"

Sonoko didn't pay much attention to the bandaged man; perhaps he was someone who lived nearby? She guessed he had just burned his face and was wrapped in bandages.

They're already in such a pitiful state, why are you still chasing after them?

Naoto Hayashi smiled but remained silent.

At this moment, his golden bee was still following behind the man, watching him hurriedly remove the bandages and black robe from his body, and then rush to the back door of the villa and enter the villa.

He was a round-faced, chubby man wearing glasses, with slightly curly hair. He was still panting heavily from his frantic run, and his face looked terrible.

I felt like my lungs were about to burst, and my stomach was nauseous.

A murderous aura emanated from the fat man.

Naoto Hayashi remembered his face.

Damn it, I haven't even entered the villa yet, and I've already found a murder suspect.

Is this considered a bad thing? It's so unsettling.

However, the little bee was not taken back; instead, it remained outside the person's door to keep watch.

The group circled back to the villa in the mountains.

This gathering was organized by Sonoko's older sister, Ayako Suzuki.

The people who attended the gathering were all Ayako Suzuki's classmates from the film club during her university years.

Including Ayako Suzuki, there are five people in total.

However, everyone is currently in their own houses, and only Ayako Suzuki is busy at the villa.

Sonoko's older sister is a gentle and beautiful woman with long brown hair, a quiet temperament, and a tendency to speak softly with a smile.

Xiao Lan and her friends arrived at the second floor of the villa, ready to choose their accommodations.

Sonoko smiled and said, "There are plenty of empty rooms here. You can choose any room you like as long as no one is staying there."

Xiao Lan pushed open a door at random and saw a round-faced fat man gagging over a trash can.

boom!

Xiao Lan quickly closed the door, and everyone looked at each other, feeling awkward.

What's wrong with this fat guy? Did he eat something bad?

Xiao Lan chuckled dryly and pushed open the next door. After encountering several occupied rooms, she finally found an empty guest room.

In the end, Ran and Conan shared one room, Sonoko shared another, and Naoto Hayashi shared a third; their rooms were next to each other.

After putting down their bags and luggage, the group went downstairs to the lobby, where everyone who had come to attend the gathering had arrived.

They introduced themselves to each other and quickly became acquainted.

The fat man disguised as the bandaged monster is named Ryoichi Takahashi.

In addition, there were three other people: a handsome man with long, flowing hair and a slick tongue; a tall, muscular man with a long face and a handheld camera; and an arrogant woman dressed in a trendy purple dress.

These people had no murderous aura or sins, and Lin Zhiren was too lazy to remember their names.

Ran and Sonoko glanced at the fat man, Ryoichi Takahashi, and both felt a little embarrassed.

The fat man was a little embarrassed and patted his stomach, laughing, "I probably ate something bad earlier, please excuse me."

Xiao Lan asked with concern, "Should we go to the hospital for a check-up?"

The fat man waved his hand: "It's okay, no need, I feel almost better now."

Sonoko, on the other hand, had some happy worries.

She found that the slick, handsome guy was really good-looking, with a touch of roguish charm that made people want to get closer to him.

Her target for this trip, Zhi Ren Ge, is also very handsome, with deep eyes that are captivating and an allure as dark as the night.

Suddenly she tugged at Xiaolan and whispered, "Xiaolan, have you noticed... that Zhiren seems to be getting more and more handsome lately!"

Xiaolan asked doubtfully, "Really? Zhiren has always been handsome."

Conan, who was eavesdropping nearby, felt envious.

Xiaolan, what nonsense are you talking about?

No matter how handsome this bastard is, can he be as handsome as Shinichi Kudo?

Xiaolan, I'm so sad to see you like this!

The slick, handsome guy was quite interested in Xiaolan. He liked this kind of pure and beautiful high school girl, so he dragged Xiaolan to take a walk in the grove.

Xiaolan wasn't good at saying no, and she was pulled away without really understanding what was going on.

Conan's face turned green, and he immediately ran after him.

Sonoko took this opportunity to invite Naoto Hayashi to go for a walk in the woods, and after thinking about it, Naoto Hayashi did not refuse.

He scattered the golden bees, one with Xiaolan, one with Fatty, and one left in the villa.

However, as soon as he and Sonoko left the villa, the little bee spotted the fat man secretly making a phone call.
