The Black Detective of the Detective Conan World

Naoto Hayashi immediately realized that this must be the same Sachiko Katsuragi, the girlfriend that Kogoro Mouri had mentioned earlier, whom the diplomat couple had commissioned to investigate their son.

Mrs. Tsujimura said with a hint of disdain, "I won't sit down. What results did you find out?"

Kogoro Mouri immediately took out a file folder and said, "Yes, the investigation results are all here. You can take a look."

Mrs. Tsujimura took the file bag and said, "Please also tell my husband about the investigation results. He's waiting for you at home now."

Kogoro paused for a moment: "He also... Uh, okay, no problem."

He originally wanted to ask, "You and your spouse each commissioned me to conduct this investigation separately, so why are you listening together now? How is the commission fee calculated?"

I think I'll pass on that idea; it's better to ask Mr. Isao Tsujimura about this privately.

The group got up, and Lin Zhiren, who was in charge of driving, naturally followed.

Meanwhile, Heiji Hattori muttered to himself, "Maybe Shinichi Kudo is hiding nearby..." and decided to follow along.

Hearing this, Xiaolan naturally wanted to follow.

So he brought along Conan, who was also a burden.

A crowd squeezed into Naoto Hayashi's car, but Mrs. Tsujimura, who should have had objections, merely frowned and said nothing.

Naoto Hayashi glanced at it and then turned his head away.

This woman... has a murderous aura about her.

Chapter 66 The Son of the Osaka Prefectural Police Chief

Lin Zhiren didn't say anything and just drove obediently.

Because he only saw murderous intent in this woman, but no sin.

Clearly, the other party intended to kill, but had not yet made a move.

But Naoto Hayashi wasn't sure if she was the murderer.

Because the woman I met yesterday, Sachiko Katsuragi, also had a murderous aura about her.

However, this lady... probably hasn't heard of the "Black Hand Detective" title, so she didn't come to place an order with me?

Holy crap! What am I even thinking?

Naoto Hayashi angrily dismissed the outrageous thoughts in his mind, feeling that he had really been led astray by these bastards.

The group soon arrived at their destination.

The residence of diplomat Isao Tsujimura was a two-story villa with a small courtyard.

They look quite wealthy.

Is it really that lucrative to be a diplomat in Japan?

As the group entered the villa, an elderly butler greeted them.

Mrs. Tsujimura inquired and learned that her husband, Mr. Isao Tsujimura, was working in his study.

Then, another young couple appeared.

The young woman was Katsuragi Sachiko, whom Hayashi Naoto had met before, and the young man was Tsujimura Isao's son, Tsujimura Takayoshi.

Katsuragi Sachiko greeted them with a smile, but when she saw that Hayashi Naoto was among the guests, she was immediately startled.

I feel terrible.

It's "The Mastermind Detective" and his assistant!

This is... a shark that's come to our house?!

So, does that mean they accepted the order?

Katsuragi Sachiko's smile froze. She wanted to say something polite, but found herself trembling.

After all, the experience of ordering a killer and watching a killer come to your home and commit murder are completely different.

Her strange behavior caught the attention of Conan and Heiji Hattori.

Hattori Heiji frowned slightly, his gaze towards Katsuragi Sachiko becoming more scrutinizing.

The study was on the second floor. When the group went upstairs, they ran into Tsujimura Isao's father, Mr. Tsujimura Toshimitsu, an elderly man with white hair and beard but full of energy.

The old man is an avid fisherman and even showed everyone his fish rubbings.

Mrs. Tsujimura gave a few perfunctory words, then went to the study door and knocked. Opera music came from inside, but no one answered.

The door was locked from the inside. Mrs. Tsujimura took out the key and opened the door.

Inside the study, Mr. Isao Tsujimura, short, stout, and bald, sat in a chair with his eyes closed, one hand supporting his head, seemingly asleep.

Naoto Hayashi glanced at it and suddenly paused.

He had expected to see a dead man.

But at this moment... Mr. Tsujimura Isao is indeed alive and well, because his soul is still safely inside his body!

So... there were no murders today?

Tsk. I'd love to do something with that Ms. Katsuragi Sachiko again...

Naoto Hayashi couldn't say whether he felt fortunate or disappointed.

If he really dies, I'm afraid I... no, Mr. Mori's title of "Master Detective" will probably never be able to be removed, right?

Sigh, what am I thinking?

I'm starting to feel a little excited about it.

However, he still instinctively released a golden bee, which quietly flew to the ceiling to monitor the entire room.

Conan and Heiji Hattori went to check out the sound system playing the opera, while Kogoro Mouri and Ran looked around the diplomat's study.

Mrs. Tsujimura then went to the bald, short, and fat man's side and gently shook her husband's body.

"Honey, don't sleep..."

After a few pushes, the bald, short, fat man suddenly lost his strength and collapsed to the ground with a thud!

Suddenly, as if a bolt of lightning had struck, everyone present looked over in shock!

Naoto Hayashi's eyes widened as well!

At that moment, right before his eyes, a soul sphere gradually emerged from the body of the bald, short, fat man!

died? !

Just died!

Doesn't that mean... the murderer is this Mrs. Tsujimura?!

Holy crap! You're absolutely audacious!

Among the many people in the house, there were three detectives, a karate master, and a soul devourer!

How dare you do that?

Is he that brave?

Hattori Heiji probed the short, fat man's neck and said gravely, "He's dead."

Xiao Lan immediately called the police.

The detectives quickly examined the scene and made a judgment.

The deceased's body was still warm, and there were red spots from needle pricks on his neck. The cause of death was poisoning, and there were abandoned poisoned needles on the ground!

Soon, Inspector Megure arrived with his team.

Upon seeing Kogoro Mouri at the scene, Inspector Megure had a bad feeling and asked with deadpan eyes, "Hey Kogoro, you're here again? You're always at the murder scene... Honestly, I'd believe you if you said you were the murderer."

Kogoro Mouri scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly, "Inspector Megure, you must be joking. How could it be my shark? I'm a famous detective, I guarantee I have nothing to do with these murders. This... this must be the murder calling to me, the famous detective!"

Inspector Megure said helplessly, "Fine, Mori, you'd better solve this case for me quickly, and I won't hold it against you."

Kogoro Mouri snapped to attention and saluted, grinning, "Don't worry, Inspector Megure, leave everything to this great detective..."

At this moment, Hattori Heiji walked over and said solemnly, "Judging from the temperature and the locked door at the crime scene, this murder must have occurred within the last thirty minutes before we entered the scene, so the murderer must be someone from inside this villa!"

Inspector Megure looked at Heiji Hattori, somewhat surprised and uncertain, and said, "You are...?"

"I am Heiji Hattori, a high school detective from Kansai."

Inspector Megure's eyes widened: "So it's you! You're the son of Hattori Heizo, the Osaka Prefectural Police Chief. I've heard a lot about you; you've helped the police solve many difficult cases in Osaka!"

It's all set! This time, not only is Mori there, but Hattori is also coming from Osaka...

Uh, no, I can't call him "brother." Hattori Heizo's title is Superintendent, which is the superior of my superior's superior's superior!

Damn it, he's four levels ahead of me!

If I call that big shot's son "brother," will I get retaliated against?

Wait, he's a detective from Kansai... If he solves the case, wouldn't that make our Kanto police and detectives seem useless?

Let's rely on Mori, sigh.

Inspector Megure felt utterly exhausted.

Heiji Hattori smiled slightly and looked at Kogoro Mouri: "Uncle Mouri has also helped the Tokyo police solve quite a few cases. I've seen it in the newspapers."

Kogoro felt a little guilty and scratched his head with a dry laugh: "You...you flatter me."

Inspector Megure glanced at him sideways: "Hey Mori, you'd better step up."

At this moment, Katsuragi Sachiko, who was standing outside the door watching, was already in a state of shock and disbelief.

died!

He's really dead!

When was it killed? Who killed it?

I have no idea!

But one thing is for sure: this was definitely the work of "Detective Black Hand"!

He's really that terrifying?

They swoop in without hesitation!

Moreover, listening to their conversation, they actually claimed that the case occurred within 30 minutes before the door opened.

This perfectly cleared the famous detective of suspicion.

What's even more frightening is that he had a close relationship with Inspector Megure, who was in charge of the investigation, and they would occasionally whisper to each other, perhaps coordinating how to fabricate evidence?

Also, that high school detective... his father is actually the Osaka Prefectural Police Chief?

This is definitely a high-ranking position in the police force!

Has the network of connections within "The Mastermind Detective" infiltrated and expanded to such a high level?!

That's absolutely terrifying.

However... I'm very fortunate to have been able to hire someone like this.

Ten million? Not expensive!

Chapter 67 Shinichi Kudo: It's over...

"Achoo!" Conan sneezed loudly, his snot running down his face.

How despicable!

After drinking the strong liquor that bastard Heiji Hattori gave me, why does my cold seem to be getting worse?

It feels like there's an electric drill drilling inside my head, my vision is blurry, I have tinnitus, and my head feels hot...

He has found many clues and is about to be able to deduce the truth.

The table was neatly arranged with books, and on the shelf were photos of the victim and his wife from twenty years ago. The victim liked to listen to classical music, and there was a key ring that could slide open...

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck me!

Wait a minute! So that's how it is... Then the killer can only be... that person!
