The Black Detective of the Detective Conan World

Takuya Mifune: "Hmph, I think it's just hearsay. If he were really that good, wouldn't he be able to make as much money as he wanted? Why would he be a detective?"

Osamu Gojo: "Indeed, he's different from what I imagined. I thought he would be more menacing..."

Rokuta Masashi: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe this is just his disguise. After all, the most flamboyant people die the fastest."

Nikaido sneered, "If that's the case, how about I ask him to kill you all? That way, no one will be competing with me for Miss Reika."

The expressions of the others changed slightly.

Ichiji Takashi laughed and said, "This joke is not funny at all."

Takuya Mifune said meaningfully, "I've heard that you and Ms. Reika seem to have reached some kind of agreement in private... How about this, we'll ask the Black Hand Detective to take you down, and then we'll compete fairly among ourselves, what do you say?"

The others chimed in with laughter, "Indeed, Nikaido, you're the coolest. Even if it's a shark, it'll definitely take you down first."

Nikaido's expression changed. These people were joking, but what if...?

He snorted coldly and turned to leave.

The others exchanged glances and then made excuses to leave.

Only the middle-aged man, Rokuda Masashi, seemed thoughtful. He looked around, quietly went to a corner of the villa, found a phone, and made a call.

He made several phone calls to his friends to confirm the information, his expression growing increasingly surprised.

It seems... the story of the notorious mastermind is true?!

This person has silently completed several commissions, disappearing without a trace, cleanly and efficiently, and in the end, they can even shift the blame onto others.

Not only that, he can even make scapegoats kneel down and confess their sins!

I heard that the person behind this man is a real big shot in the Metropolitan Police Department!

Some people have seen the son of Osaka Prefectural Police Chief Heizo Hattori, who has a close relationship with Kogoro Mouri.

That's the Metropolitan Police Department, a real big shot!

Above that is the Superintendent General of Police, the highest position in the police force.

Moreover, the wife of this famous detective is none other than Eri Kisaki, the renowned lawyer known as the undefeated queen of the legal world.

With the combined efforts of this couple and their connections within the police force, spanning the police, detective, and legal sectors, who can stand against them?

Wow! So this time, it might actually be true...

My friend on the phone specifically advised me: Don't place an order directly with Kogoro. That guy is extremely shrewd and will never leave any evidence. If you talk to him directly, he will definitely play dumb and pretend he doesn't know anything.

Therefore, we need to find the famous detective's assistant.

Rokuda Shoji looked around and suddenly his eyes lit up as he spotted Hayashi Naoto.

On the other side, Naoto Hayashi's face darkened.

He was listening in the whole time and naturally noticed Rokuda Shoji's actions.

The person looked for me immediately after making the call, clearly preparing to place an order.

I'm swearing I'm not a killer!

Damn it! I can't make any money off you guys.

At this moment, the middle-aged man, Rokuda Shoji, walked over and smiled at Hayashi Naoto, saying, "Hayashi-san, may I have a word with you in private?"

Naoto Hayashi remained expressionless as he led him to a secluded corner.

Rokuda Shoji's eyes flickered as he said, "I heard that Mr. Mori... no, Mr. Hayashi, you can take on some 'special' commissions here?"

Naoto Hayashi looked at him without saying a word.

As if he had tacitly agreed, Rokuda Shoji continued, "I'm willing to offer 20 million, and my target is... Ms. Yotsui Reika."

"Oh?" Lin Zhiren was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that he wanted to kill Nikaido or the other young people, but he never expected that he would want to kill Yotsuji Reika.

Naoto Hayashi immediately became interested and asked, "Could you tell me more details?"

There was nothing for Rokuda to hide, so he said in a low voice, "Let me introduce myself first. I am Rokuda Shoji, and I am the executive director of the Yotsubi Group."

Naoto Hayashi was somewhat surprised.

"Senkaku" is an abbreviation for "Senkaku Kōnin-yaku" in Japanese companies, and refers to a member of the board of directors.

This position is highly prestigious and powerful; to put it simply, it is essentially equivalent to being second only to the chairman of Yotsubi, and above everyone else.

Masashi Rokuda continued, "Originally, Chairman Yotsubi's idea was to find a good husband for Ms. Reika and then leave the entire group's inheritance rights to her. However... she was spoiled from a young age and has a selfish, arrogant, and willful personality."

“If she simply continues to be a pampered young lady, then all will be well. But if she inherits the Yotsuji Group, she might destroy the entire group, so…”

Naoto Hayashi nodded, understanding.

Reika Yotsui is the chairman's only daughter. If she dies, there will be no one to succeed the chairman, and a successor will have to be selected from the company's senior management to take over the group.

At that time, Rokuda Masashi, as the executive director, would be the only suitable candidate!

Rokuta Masashi's eyes flickered as he continued, "Of course, if it's convenient for you, the other young men can also be included... I'll add ten million for each one I eliminate."

These young people were always jumping around in front of him, putting each other down and vying for his favor with Shijing Lihua. He had long harbored a lot of resentment.

Now that there's a chance to take revenge, I certainly can't let it pass.

It's just a mere ten million, nothing to worry about!

Just as Naoto Hayashi was about to politely decline, he suddenly paused, realizing that his little bee had noticed a new situation!

Chapter 72 There's a traitor among you.

Second floor.

A figure walked quietly down the corridor and began to damage the corridor lights on both sides.

That person was none other than Ichigo Takashi, a young man wearing glasses and looking like a corporate slave!

However, at this moment, Yizhilong's face was cold and his killing intent was palpable.

After breaking the light switches in almost half of the corridor and rooms, he found a bathroom and started placing a large roll of tape and rope inside.

This behavior is practically writing "I want a shark" on its face!

Who is he going to kill?

Suddenly, the man pulled an envelope from his pocket, opened it, and inside was a piece of paper covered with diagrams.

It's a murder plan!?

Ichiji Takashi looked at the letter and compared it with the props he had prepared, checking for any omissions or deficiencies.

The little bee that Lin Zhiren sent out to follow him immediately transformed into a small spider and silently moved along the ceiling to the top of a tuft of hair to look down.

The letter clearly outlined the steps of the operation, the setup of the operation, the creation of alibis, and the methods used to mislead the perpetrator.

The little spider glanced at it and saw a few keywords.

Yotsui Reika and Nikaido!

Oh open!

What a coincidence!

After repeatedly checking it, Yizhilong took out a lighter, burned the letter, threw the ashes into the toilet, and flushed it away.

Then he took out a sharp cone and quietly walked out of the villa.

Naoto Hayashi raised his head, looked at Masashi Rokuda in front of him, and smiled slightly.

"I understand. Please go back and wait for news."

Rokuda Shoji relaxed completely, nodded slightly to him, and then turned and left.

Naoto Hayashi returned to the dining table and found that in just a short time, Kogoro Mouri had drunk quite a bit and was sitting in a chair trying to sober up.

Ran and Sonoko have returned and are excitedly discussing "Rex Band," while Conan is blowing his nose, which is now bright red.

Ran, holding a stack of autographed books, beamed with happiness: "This trip was so great! I collected so many celebrity autographs. And Tatsuya Kimura's singing is so beautiful... I wonder when I'll have the chance to hear him sing again."

Sonoko smiled and said, "That's easy. I can have my dad talk to their manager and we can have a small get-together, rent a karaoke room and sing and have fun together."

"Really?" Xiaolan exclaimed in surprise, "I can sing with them? That would be so wonderful!"

Sonoko waved her hand and said, "Relax, relax, they are all young people too, they need to rest and have fun sometimes."

Sonoko's eyes darted around, secretly calculating: "If I drag Naoto along, we can sing and have fun together; that'll definitely bring us closer! Hehehehehehe..."

At this moment, the main character of today's banquet, the daughter of the chairman of the Sijing Group, Sijing Lihua, appeared, blew out the birthday candles, and a group of guests offered their birthday wishes.

Naoto Hayashi also went over to join in the fun, but suddenly paused.

He actually saw sin in the soul of Shijing Lihua!

This woman...has killed someone?!

The guests who came to support him dispersed, but a few young people stayed behind. They were the same group who had secretly been catching Kogoro Mouri's crickets earlier, and their names all contained numbers.

Ichigo Takashi, Nikaido, Mifune Takuya, Gojo Osamu, and Rokuta Shoji did not come over; they simply stood on the outer perimeter, observing coldly.

Naoto Hayashi was stunned again; he also saw sin in the soul of the Second Hall.

Neither of these two people are good people.

These young men were all fawning over Yoshii Reika, after all, she was the daughter of the chairman of a large group. If they could marry her, they would definitely rise to the top in one step.

Yotsuji Reika, on the other hand, looked arrogant and disdainful of everyone.

Lin Zhiren's gaze swept over Yizhilong. This guy was ruthless. Just now, he went out with a sharp awl and punctured the tires of several luxury cars.

Is the plan to leave the person in the villa and carry out an assassination?

Soon, the banquet ended, and the guests left one after another.

But when Yotsuki Reika was about to leave, she discovered that her car, along with the cars of her several sycophants, had all had flat tires.

Yotsuki Reika suddenly lost her temper and decided not to leave.

She plans to stay at the villa for one night and have someone fix her car the next day before leaving.

Regardless of what those sycophants and Rokuta Shoji really thought, they all volunteered to stay behind, saying they wanted to protect Yotsuki Reika.

Naoto Hayashi's tires didn't blow out.

However, it can explode.

He secretly sent out a dozen or so small golden spiders to his car, where they merged into a large spider the size of a fist, with slender and sharp legs!

The giant spider brought its eight legs together and pierced the tire.

After a slight hissing sound, the tire went flat.

Naoto Hayashi pretended to check the car, then turned to Kogoro Mouri and Sonoko and said, "My car also got a flat tire. Who played this prank?"

Conan immediately went over and examined it carefully, his expression serious.

On the other hand, Ichiji Takashi was somewhat baffled.

Did I vandalize this car? The vandalized cars were clearly the luxury cars of people associated with them…

Moreover, Kogoro Mouri is a detective. In order to avoid any unexpected problems with the assassination plan, how could he possibly leave these people behind?

This is bad...

However, judging from the famous detective's drunken state, perhaps it's alright?

In short, the arrow is on the bowstring and must be released; even if there are a few more people, the plan must be implemented!

With a flat tire, Naoto Hayashi and Kogoro Mouri had no choice but to stay at the villa for the night.

The chairman of Yotsubi was very generous and allowed these guests to stay overnight.

The villa is very large and can accommodate any number of guests.

However, Sonoko did not stay, because Chairman Yotsubi personally escorted her home. After all, she was the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, someone even Chairman Yotsubi had to curry favor with.

The remaining few prepared to drink tea and play cards, while Yoshii Reika prepared to go back to her room to change her clothes.

Ichiji Ryu quietly followed, sneaked into Yotsuki Reika's room, drugged her with a handkerchief smeared with sedatives, tied her up with a rope, and then taped her to a bathtub.

He turned on the shower and slowly sprayed water, so that it would take several hours for the water to reach Yoshii Reika's mouth and nose, drowning her.

This is a timed death!
