However, when they opened the door, they saw a bandaged man running wildly down the hallway!

Everyone was startled at first, but they quickly realized that the murderer had appeared!

Although the other party's attire was somewhat intimidating, they had no weapons!

You're so arrogant without weapons!

The long-faced man was the first to rush out.

The bandaged man screamed wildly, "Get out of here!!"

The long-faced man angrily grabbed at his black robe, but he managed to break free.

Just then, Xiaolan, dressed in her pajamas, rushed out of the room and swept a roundhouse kick, hitting the bandaged monster squarely in the shoulder!

The bandaged monster was kicked so hard that his feet left the ground and he flew into the air!

With a loud bang, he crashed into the wall and then slowly slid to the ground.

KO!

Conan, who was hiding behind, saw that the bandaged man had been subdued and immediately rushed up, reaching out to tear off the bandage on the man's face.

Ryoichi Takahashi's chubby face appeared in the scene...

Everyone was stunned!

Clearly, none of them expected that the so-called bandaged man was actually their own companion in disguise.

Ayako Suzuki covered her mouth and said in a trembling voice, "Could it be that he killed him? But why..."

Conan suddenly realized something and immediately rushed to Takahashi Ryoichi's room, looking inside.

Then I saw the axe lying on the ground, and the head of a woman who died with her eyes wide open!

At this moment, the woman's head had already returned to normal, and the arthropods that had grown on her neck had all disappeared.

But the dead man's eyes were still staring straight at the doorway, which was extremely terrifying!

Upon suddenly seeing this thing, Conan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Hearing the noise, the others rushed over, startled and filled with shock and anger.

This time, the evidence was irrefutable.

The murder weapon used by Ryoichi Takahashi, the victim's head, and the strange bandages—everything was there!

"Cough cough." At this moment, Takahashi Ryoichi regained consciousness, but his face was full of fear and terror as he screamed, "No, don't come any closer!"

Everyone assumed he was talking about Xiaolan and didn't pay much attention.

The prisoners who were kicked by Xiaolan were basically terrified.

Naoto Hayashi went over and lifted him up, then tied his hands with the bandages on the ground.

Seeing that Ryoichi Takahashi was still in a state of collapse, Naoto Hayashi kindly reminded him, "Mr. Takahashi, please stop struggling in vain."

After a moment of stunned silence, Takahashi Ryoichi looked around at the crowd and finally understood his current predicament.

His legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees.

He didn't know whether what he had just seen was an illusion or reality, but in any case, all his doubts and anxieties remained.

Tears welled in his eyes: "If that woman hadn't plagiarized Atsuko's novel, Atsuko wouldn't have committed suicide. I'm doing this to avenge Atsuko..."

Upon hearing the fat man's reason for killing, Suzuki Ayako, the long-faced man, and the slick handsome man all fell silent.

Naoto Hayashi didn't believe this guy's words at all.

While he did have some element of revenge involved, he was mostly instigated by the person known as "Dr. Kazeto".

Furthermore, he also wanted to use this as a springboard to join the Assassin's Creed!

But Naoto Hayashi wouldn't say these things out loud.

For others, knowing too much is not a good thing.

At this moment, Lin Zhiren's body trembled slightly as he felt countless drops of white spiritual rain falling from the void.

That means his good deeds have been credited to his account!

Keep it for now, and we'll integrate it when we get back.

At this moment, no one was sleepy. They took Takahashi Ryoichi to the living room on the first floor, intending to sit there and wait until dawn.

Conan, however, remained on the second floor, feeling that there were still many unanswered questions about the case.

How did Takahashi Ryoichi, who was clearly planning to fake a bandage-wearing monster to commit a crime, suddenly get exposed?

Why did he suddenly scream in the room earlier?

Why would he leave the deceased's head in his room?

Shouldn't they have thrown the head into the grove?

And that head of the dead man—for some reason, Conan always felt that there seemed to be some strange aura about it.

This brings to mind Ryoichi Takahashi's earlier outburst, "Don't come any closer!"...

Conan suddenly couldn't help but shudder.

Damn, what am I thinking?

This is the world of science!

Conan went downstairs, quietly found Ryoichi Takahashi, and asked him about his doubts.

As a result, Takahashi Ryoichi looked terrified, trembling all over, and didn't dare to say a word, only shaking his head repeatedly.

Lin Zhiren sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, smiling without saying a word.

He had previously let the Golden Bee steal the head and hide it outside.

When the night was deep and quiet, he transformed the little bee into a giant spider, lifted up a human head, and delivered a deathly head to the fat man's face!

The effect is outstanding.

After the fat man ran out of the room and was caught, Lin Zhiren quietly retrieved all the golden creatures.

He kept his achievements and fame hidden.

Although Conan is very perceptive, he probably will never be able to find out the truth in his lifetime.

the next morning.

After daybreak, Ayako Suzuki found other mountain dwellers from the back of the mountain and called the police.

The police arrived, repaired the broken suspension bridge, and took away the murderer and the body.

The others also left the villa in the mountains.

Ran, Sonoko, and Conan returned to Beika Town in Naoto Hayashi's car.

On the way, Sonoko sighed repeatedly, feeling that she was really having a run of bad luck. Every time she asked Naoto Hayashi out, a case would come up. It was really out of the ordinary.

Even in this mountain villa setting, with the gathering of my older sister's classmates of many years, a murderer still managed to emerge.

Could it be that there is something unclean?

I clearly visited a temple to pray last time I went back.

I've heard that Sanno-ji Temple in Kyoto is very efficacious; maybe I should go check it out next time.

Sonoko's mind was racing with all sorts of random thoughts, but she wasn't discouraged at all. She really didn't believe her skills were that bad and decided to keep trying.

However, it seems like there hasn't been a suitable excuse to ask Naoto Hayashi out lately.

Suddenly, Sonoko's eyes lit up as she remembered one of her "plastic besties": Yotsubi Reika, the only daughter of the chairman of the Yotsubi Group!

In a few days, she will be holding a grand birthday party and will invite many guests, who have also sent her an invitation.

Originally, she didn't really want to go because Reika Yotsuji had a bad temper and was difficult to get along with. Moreover, she was surrounded by a group of sycophantic young men who were too greasy, and Sonoko didn't like that.

However, wouldn't it be great if I could take this opportunity to get closer to Naoto Hayashi?

Chapter 60 The Gift for You

Sonoko imagined herself holding hands with Naoto Hayashi in an intimate scene, and suddenly her fighting spirit soared.

Well, it's a bit awkward to invite Naoto Hayashi alone, but you can bring Ran and Uncle Mori along.

After all, there were many wealthy people at that banquet, which might help Uncle Mori expand his clientele.

Thinking of this, she immediately grabbed Xiaolan's arm and said with a smile, "Xiaolan, the daughter of the chairman of the Sijing Group is going to hold a birthday party in a few days. I heard that a lot of celebrities have been invited. Do you want to go? I have an invitation. I can take you, Uncle Mori, and Brother Naoto with me."

Xiao Lan was immediately intrigued: "Great! I wonder if any of my favorite celebrities are here."

Conan immediately became anxious: "Ran-neechan, I want some too! I want to go to the party too!"

Xiaolan was a little embarrassed: "Yuanzi..."

Sonoko rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "You little brat, you're so annoying. I'll take you, but don't cause any trouble for us, okay?"

Conan drawled, "Okay—"

Sonoko then turned to Hayashi Naoto, blushing, and said, "Naoto-nii, you should be free that day, right?"

Lin Zhiren smiled and said, "Of course I'm free." He had sensed the presence of the case again.

Conan's lips twitched. He felt that Sonoko was really going too far. She fawned over Naoto Hayashi, but showed him nothing but disgust.

That's awful.

Suddenly, Naoto Hayashi's phone rang, and he received a text message.

Naoto Hayashi glanced at it and was immediately stunned.

Let's meet and talk when we get back. - Ai Haibara

Oh? So your cold and fever have subsided? Finally, you have the energy to resolve your inner doubts?

And... she changed the name "Ai Haibara" that Professor Agasa gave her to "Ai"?

Although the pronunciation and spelling are the same, she would definitely use "哀" (ai) herself.

The doctor will be sad...

Naoto Hayashi replied with "Okay" and then put down his phone.

After taking Ran, Conan, and Sonoko to the Mouri Detective Agency, Naoto Hayashi first went to a jewelry store and bought some thin cords for necklaces.

Then he returned to the car, took out a gold coin, and transformed it into a large beetle.

This beetle has an empty abdomen.

He then took out the soul of Miyano Akemi that he had collected earlier, made sure it was wrapped in sin, and then let the beetle swallow the clump of soul into its belly.

Finally, he retrieved the spirit from the beetle and tied it with a thin rope, thus creating a gold ornament in the shape of an insect.

After doing all that, Lin Zhiren drove to Dr. Agasa's house.

Today, the professor wasn't busy with experiments but was engrossed in online chatting. After briefly greeting Naoto Hayashi, he hurriedly returned to his computer to chat with his online friends.

Naoto Hayashi glanced over and noticed they were discussing "what kind of lame jokes are the funniest".

My aunt is so cold.

Ai Haibara sat on the sofa in the living room, legs crossed, holding a large medical book in her hands, reading quietly.

His body was swollen and he was still dazed and confused. His navel was swollen and he was dazed.

Naoto Hayashi walked over, sat down opposite her, and looked her over carefully.

Today, Ai Haibara changed into a brown sleeveless turtleneck top and casual shorts, paired with short brown hair, making her look quite like a real seven-year-old girl.

However, her mature demeanor makes her someone to be respected.

Naoto Hayashi sat down opposite him and smiled, "Ai Haibara?"

The young girl also raised her head and said calmly, "Lin Zhiren?"

Her blue eyes revealed indifference as she carefully scrutinized Naoto Hayashi.

While she couldn't sense the murderous aura typical of Black Organization members from him, Ai Haibara remained highly vigilant and suspicious.

“I’ve already spoken with Professor Agasa. I am indeed being hunted by an organization, and I came here to seek help from Shinichi Kudo. But how did you know all this? And how did you happen to bring me here with Professor Agasa?”
