The Black Detective of the Detective Conan World

Sakae Yamagishi pulled out a tissue and wiped his sweat with trembling hands, while giving Naoto Hayashi a slight nod.

make a deal!

As long as the case can be solved, that's all that matters. As for the suicide allegations, it's not my problem to bring them up, so let Detective Mouri and Inspector Megure handle it.

Lin Zhiren smiled slightly. He just wanted to do something funny and amuse himself, but he didn't expect that this guy would actually agree.

Why are there so many scammers in the world, and why do some of their very low-level methods still manage to succeed time and time again?

It's because there are too many fools. There aren't enough swindlers to go around.

Just then, Naoto Hayashi suddenly felt a gaze upon him. He looked down and saw Conan standing not far away in a corner, staring wide-eyed and visibly shocked. He had clearly overheard this mind-blowing conversation.

A righteous high school detective witnesses the dark and sinful side of this society!

A despicable extortionist struck a vile deal with the suspect! Five million! They wanted to cover up the truth, frame the innocent, and prevent the victims from resting in peace?!

Oh no, he wants the case to close as a suicide... which means he wants the real culprit to escape punishment and for the victim to never rest in peace?! Damn it, even in death, he's being framed?

This person is so vicious!

While solving cases as a high school detective, Conan has witnessed the dark side of society quite a bit, but this is the first time he has seen someone around him commit such a crime!

As a detective, Conan believes that the most important thing is to find out the truth of the case, uphold justice, and protect the innocent!

How could such a despicable deal be made? It is the greatest insult to the profession of detective!

Conan was caught up in his excitement and was in a state of extreme anger!

He wanted to arrest this person who had insulted the name of a detective!

This person should be punished by law!

"Ok?"

Naoto Hayashi saw Conan's red heat.

However, he became interested instead.

It's no fun trying to fool a simpleton's agent; it's much more interesting to outsmart and outmaneuver smart people.

Who told this kid to be so arrogant all the time!

Thinking of this, Naoto Hayashi approached Conan, leaned down, and whispered, "You heard everything? Conan, little...brother."

He deliberately emphasized the word "small," then patted him on the shoulder, his kind smile carrying a hint of malice and mockery: "In this city, dead people are really... easy to kill."

Conan felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water from head to toe.

Only then did he realize that this shameless bastard in front of him was the one who knew the secret to his shrinking!

If it's just me alone, then I'll go all out and report him. At worst, I'll expose myself. Who's afraid of who?

High school students have no shortage of passion!

but……

He also has family and friends, such as Ran, Ran Mouri, and Ran's older sister...

It doesn't matter if I die, but what if I implicate Xiaolan?!

Conan felt a sharp pain in his heart, a tremendous sense of humiliation and anger churning within him, making him extremely uncomfortable.

His sense of justice prevented him from ignoring the evil before him, but the leverage that bastard held over him constantly reminded him not to act impulsively...

Conan is about to explode!

How can such shameless, despicable, and vile people exist in the world?!

This heinous deal... huh? Yes!

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in Conan's mind!

If I can find the real killer before he frames the deceased as a suicide, wouldn't that break his evil deal?!

In that case, even if he possesses his own secret, he can only suffer a frustrating defeat, right?

Find the real culprit! Break the deal! Clear the name of the deceased and let them rest in peace!

Conan's fighting spirit surged, and his sharp, dagger-like gaze immediately turned to the three suspects!

Sakae Yamagishi!

Yoko Okino!

Yuko Ikezawa!

A choice between three for justice: which one of you is the real killer?!

Come out here right now!

Chapter 8 What on earth is going on?!

The three suspects involuntarily shivered.

They all felt a chill, and they didn't know where it came from.

Yuko Ikezawa was still suspicious and looked around, feeling that someone had just died in the luxury apartment and it had become a haunted house, which was a bit unlucky.

Yoko Okino hugged her shoulders and shivered; I felt sorry for her.

Kogoro Mouri, who was standing nearby, immediately rushed over, gentlemanly took off his suit jacket and draped it over Yoko's shoulders, saying seriously, "Miss Yoko, it's cold, take care to keep warm and don't catch a cold."

Yoko Okino was feeling lost and confused when she saw Kogoro Mouri being so considerate, and she immediately smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Mr. Mouri."

(Yamagishi Sakae: You son of a bitch...)

Kogoro Mouri was satisfied and patted his chest, saying, "Miss Yoko, don't worry. With me, Detective Kogoro Mouri, here, I will definitely solve this case as soon as possible so you can rest easy!"

Next, based on clues from the scene, Kogoro Mouri first accused Yuko Ikezawa and then suspected Ei Yamagishi, but unfortunately there was no conclusive evidence. It could only be said that both of them were suspects, but it was difficult to convict them.

Meanwhile, Conan was running all over the place, frantically searching for any clues.

For example, dents in the floor, water stains left next to the body, a chair placed in the center of the living room, an air conditioner with the heater on in the room, etc.

Clues swirled in my mind, but I was still missing that spark of inspiration to piece them together into the truth!

What exactly is it?

Think of something!

At this moment, Naoto Hayashi quietly approached Kogoro Mouri and whispered in his ear, while pointing his finger at the corpse and the three suspects.

Kogoro frowned and listened for a long time, then suddenly slammed his fist down, realizing what had happened!

"I know! I know who the culprit is!"

"Really? Brother Mori, you know who the culprit is?" Inspector Megure was overjoyed.

The two people Mori gave random pointers to just now didn't give any solid reasons. It must have been Mori deliberately messing things up to make the prisoners relax and expose their weaknesses, so that he could catch them off guard!

Kogoro Mouri laughed heartily, his face exaggerated, but his expression changed instantly, becoming serious and solemn. He pointed at the corpse on the ground: "That's right, the culprit is—the deceased Fujie Akiyoshi himself!"

Inspector Megure: !?

Yoko Okino: !

Ikezawa Yuko:!

Xiaolan: ! !

Conan: ! ! ? ?

Sakae Yamagishi: !!! !!!

Like a ray of light exploding in the deep darkness, the fishy, ​​pine-like, and swaying sounds were all different, leaving everyone extremely surprised!

Some people were genuinely surprised, while others couldn't understand the truth behind it.

But some people...

Sakae Yamagishi: Holy crap, you're really daring! You actually dared to publicly shift the blame onto the deceased? That five million was well spent! This detective is terrifying, I'm impressed!

Conan: You bastard, Uncle Mori! You've gone along with this?! That kid must have caught you red-handed, right?! Otherwise, why would you be helping that bastard like this?! Uncle! You've fallen!

Inspector Megure looked shocked, but he was a man of many experiences. He had just witnessed a wheelchair-bound cripple kill someone by scaling walls and leaping across rooftops. Hearing that the victim had committed suicide by being stabbed in the back, he could understand it, but he still needed his brother Mori to come up with a better... no, a better deduction.

"Ahem, Brother Mori, what exactly is going on?"

Kogoro Mouri pulled a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and lit it with a flick of his lighter. With a cool and stylish flick, he slowly revealed the truth amidst the smoke.

"The deceased was Ms. Yoko's ex-boyfriend. He was tricked into breaking up with her by his manager. After seeing Yoko become an idol star, he felt remorse and wanted to rekindle their relationship. Unfortunately, when he secretly and illegally broke into Ms. Yoko's room, he saw another person, Ms. Ikezawa Yuko, who had also illegally broken in!"

"Ms. Yuko Ikezawa hit him and ran away. The deceased, in his panic, didn't see clearly and mistook her for Ms. Yoko herself. He was filled with despair, his love turned to hatred, and he ultimately decided to commit suicide in Ms. Yoko's room, making it look like a murder and completely ruining Ms. Yoko's career as a star!"

"So he first froze the handle of the kitchen knife with ice, placed it upright on the floor, then grabbed Ms. Yoko's hair, stood on a chair, and fell backward..."

Upon hearing this, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.

That's a ruthless person!

Inspector Megure wasn't stupid either. Having deduced the case to this point, he connected the clues and suddenly clenched his fist, exclaiming:

"We found the body inside! There are dents on the floor, made by the handle of a kitchen knife, and the water stains on the floor are from melting ice... Hmm, no wonder the room's heating was on so high, the deceased must have done that to quickly evaporate the ice!"

Kogoro Mouri nodded approvingly and said, "Inspector Megure is right, that's the truth!"

Ouch!

The people present admired the detective's eyes and were filled with respect. He truly deserved to be called a famous detective!

Yamagishi Sakae, standing to the side, felt a chill run down his spine, his heart pounding inside.

With so much evidence, such fluent reasoning, and such sound logic, he couldn't tell which was true and which was false.

But in the end, the murderer actually fell on the victim's own head!

If Detective Mori is the mouth responsible for distorting the truth, then the police officers and Inspector Megure present are the hands secretly fabricating evidence!

With these two working together, who in this world could stand against them?

Absolutely invincible!

Pay up! You have to pay up! I'll transfer the money when there are fewer people later! No, I'll pay in cash tomorrow. It's best not to use a bank account for this kind of money.

That's terrifying! We absolutely cannot delay paying this big shot, or we'll be charged with some serious crime and won't be able to escape it even if we die.

Xiaolan's eyes also shone, feeling that her father was so tall, majestic, and radiant at that moment.

Starry eyes!

Could it be that Father has finally seen the light?

Wait, I think I just saw Lin Sang whispering to Dad? Could it be that he discovered the clue and alerted Dad?

Lin Sang is such a good person...

Conan, standing to the side, was dumbfounded, frozen in place, with goosebumps all over his body!

What... what on earth is going on?!

The clues that Kogoro Mouri pointed out were exactly what he had just found, and these clues, when put together, perfectly matched the conclusion that Kogoro had deduced...

Ah ah ah ah ah!

Conan is absolutely insane!

He had already found all the clues, but subconsciously he was against the conclusion that "the murderer was the victim himself," which meant that even after racking his brains, he still couldn't deduce the real answer.

Now that the answer is right in front of him, he still can't believe it, doesn't want to believe it, and refuses to believe it.

He clearly heard that this was a despicable deal between that bastard and the suspect, so how could it suddenly become the truth?

Could it be that... Uncle Kogoro and Inspector Megure have really reached an agreement in secret and started working together to commit crimes and steal money?

Chapter 9 Is he a good person or a bad person?

Conan begins to question the meaning of life.

Then he began to suspect everyone around him.

He even secretly went up to Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Megure to eavesdrop on their conversation about whether they had shared the stolen goods.

They then went to the vicinity of other police officers to search for any suspicion that they had fabricated evidence.
