The Black Detective of the Detective Conan World

Finally, she cried and begged, "I confess! Please send me to prison! I don't want to stay at Shanni Temple anymore... There's a Kiri Tengu here..."

Shark is just an individual; even if he gets arrested by the police, he won't deserve to die. But if he gets targeted by the Tengu...

Not only will their souls be devoured, but their bodies will also be hung on trees to dry in the wind, becoming food for the monster!

Conan, covering his nose, stood on the perimeter, looking at the murderer with confusion.

No, you're admitting guilt already? I haven't even started reasoning yet!

So the old monk committed the murder two years ago? You managed to get all that information out of him by getting him drunk?

You originally wanted to do it again using the same method as the Shark Man from two years ago?

It was destroyed by the Tengu... Well, that can't be believed; the killer was probably just seeing things in his nervousness.

He glanced at Lin Zhiren and suddenly noticed that the guy quietly slipped out of the crowd and headed towards the meditation room.

Ok?

Conan instinctively sensed something was wrong and immediately followed them quietly.

Naoto Hayashi entered the meditation room and casually closed the door.

Conan peered through the crack in the door and vaguely saw a figure across from Naoto Hayashi...?

She was completely black, but judging from her body curves, she looked like a beautiful woman!

Besides Xiaolan, where else could this mountain temple have any women?

And what kind of deal are they... doing?

……

Naoto Hayashi took the Tengu mask from the Moonlight Doppelganger.

A true "legend" has been born here.

Although it has only been around for a short time, it contains considerable power, after all, the legend of the Tengu has been circulating in this area for hundreds of years.

They were just one step away from the final "mysterious deaths of several people" part.

Feeling the eerie spirituality contained within, Naoto Hayashi was extremely satisfied.

He opened his mouth and inhaled, and instantly a faint reddish light flew out from the mask and merged into his body.

A surge of heat rushed in, and Lin Zhiren felt his entire soul body instantly swell, as if a large object had been stuffed into his body.

Soon, the soul gradually calmed down.

A red phantom of a tengu mask appeared on his chest.

The legendary Kiri Tengu is mine!

Lin Zhiren used his body's spirituality to communicate with the illusory image of the Tengu Mask and learned the purpose of this "legend".

Fly!

It can conjure wings behind itself and fly through the sky like a celestial dog from mythology!

Naoto Hayashi was absolutely ecstatic!

With the ability to fly, wouldn't I be incredibly happy?!

Just then, there was a loud bang, and Conan pushed the door open and entered.

Chapter 77 Conan, what exactly did you see?

Conan strongly suspects that Naoto Hayashi is engaging in shady dealings with someone.

Although he didn't know where the woman in black came from, the mere fact that she was "in black" was enough to make him take the risk.

Conan, speaking in a childlike voice, cheerfully said, "Naoto-nii, you and this lady..."

His voice trailed off.

Naoto Hayashi turned to look at him.

There was no one in front of Naoto Hayashi.

Conan's eyes widened, he quickly looked left and right, then looked up and glanced around.

This was a small, spacious room, about three meters by three meters and nearly ten meters high. There was no one else in it except for Lin Zhiren and himself!

no?!

How is that possible!

I clearly saw a woman in black standing in front of Naoto Hayashi...

Conan rubbed his eyes and scanned the area several times, still not believing it, but there was indeed no one there.

Naoto Hayashi watched his performance quietly.

He had already noticed that Conan was following him.

However, Naoto Hayashi ignored him.

He had already recalled his Moonlight clone, and the fallen gold had turned into insects crawling back onto his body, so Conan naturally couldn't find a single trace of it.

He hung the mask, now devoid of all its spirit, back on the wall and asked curiously, "Conan, what are you doing?"

Conan suddenly looked at Naoto Hayashi and asked in a somewhat frightened tone, "Naoto-nii, were you the only one here just now?"

"Huh? Isn't it obvious? Besides you and me, there shouldn't be anywhere else for anyone to hide, right?"

Naoto Hayashi asked with a serious expression, "Did you see something?"

Conan opened his mouth, then suddenly remembered the captured little monk Xiu Nian, who was yelling "Mist Tengu," and shuddered.

Could there really be something dirty in this dilapidated temple?

No, no!

There are no ghosts or monsters in this world, and there is absolutely no Kiritengu!

Trust science!

Conan's smile froze as he asked, "Naoto-kun, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I just felt this mask was a bit strange, and I kept thinking about it, so I came to take a look."

Lin Zhiren pointed to the tengu mask and said meaningfully, "Do you feel it? When you look at it... you feel a bit hairy."

Conan got goosebumps.

This place was already damp and chilly, and with the dim lighting, coupled with Naoto Hayashi's cold demeanor...

He couldn't stand this awful place for even a minute longer.

Conan chuckled awkwardly a few times, then turned and ran away.

Naoto Hayashi fell into deep thought...

That footprint on Conan's face, was it Ran who kicked him? It looks like Ran kicked Conan barefoot.

Xiao Lan's feet are quite... cough cough.

Are you rewarding him or punishing him?

Tsk.

Naoto Hayashi took away the "legend" of this place and returned to Kogoro Mouri to collect the soul from the corpse.

The old abbot is quite old, and his soul tastes a bit like an overcooked egg; the flavor is just so-so.

In addition, the merits from apprehending the murderer have also been credited to my account.

Although Lin Zhiren didn't catch the murderer himself this time, he used his moonlight clone to frighten the young monk Xiu Nian into confessing his crime, so he definitely deserves the lion's share of the credit.

Unfortunately, the old monk's murder case was something Xiu Nian herself tricked into revealing, so the credit didn't go to Lin Zhiren.

After the murder, no one could sleep.

After everyone stayed up until dawn, the police finally arrived at Shanni Temple and took the murderer and the body away.

It was Inspector Megure, an old acquaintance, who arrived.

Inspector Megure was feeling a bit exhausted, wondering if his little brother was possessed by something.

He just killed the only daughter and a suitor at the Yoshii family's villa, and now he's killed the abbot at a temple.

Wait a minute, Mori-kun, even the temple abbot can't keep him in check?

What kind of vicious thing is inside you?

However, since I am a police officer, I cannot say such superstitious things.

Naoto Hayashi also contacted a towing company and had his SUV towed back to the city.

On the way, Sonoko suddenly called to say that she had arranged for the "Rex Band" to have a small get-together that evening.

"Rex Band" is a super popular singing group that performed at Reika Yotsubi's birthday party.

Ran loves following celebrities, and that band's songs are really good, so as her best friend, Sonoko naturally wants to help Ran out.

So Sonoko then had her father, the chairman of the Suzuki Foundation, call the band's manager and organize this small, private gathering.

The Suzuki Foundation is incredibly influential and powerful, so the small "Rex Band" naturally wouldn't dare refuse and was even quite happy to be able to establish a relationship with such a large conglomerate.

Such a popular group, when faced with the public's attention, is just a bunch of obedient little cuties.

Xiao Lan's eyes sparkled with joy.

Conan looked deadpan, feeling utterly exhausted, but he couldn't leave without following along.

Kogoro Mouri laughed and said, "You young people should go to these kinds of gatherings with celebrities. I won't join in... By the way, Lin-san, you have to protect Ran. Don't let any wild boys take advantage of her. I've heard that the entertainment industry is a mess."

Xiao Lan glared at him, embarrassed and angry, and said, "Dad!"

Naoto Hayashi nodded: "Don't worry, Professor Mori."

very nice.

This kind of gathering is obviously going to result in death, and there will definitely be souls and merits involved.

However, the density of these cases is truly frightening, with one after another every day. How does Conan manage to enjoy it so much?

Can't figure it out.

To be honest, although encountering cases one after another has filled his soul with satisfaction and brought him a lot of merit, it has also left him feeling somewhat exhausted.

In the future, I might consider... well, encountering a few cases while traveling.

This way, you can balance work and leisure.

The group returned to the Mori Detective Agency.

Naoto Hayashi went home first to wash up and change his clothes. He planned to rest for a while in the afternoon, but a phone call interrupted his plans.

It was Rokuda Shoji, the executive director who commissioned the "Master Detective" to eliminate Yotsuki Reika.

Naoto Hayashi expertly announced the meeting place, quickly tidied up, and left.

Once you get used to something like this, you'll get used to it, and Lin Zhiren didn't hesitate to ask for money again.

After all, these people all "know the rules" better than he does, so what can Naoto Hayashi say?

If you're offered money, just accept it.

Before his car was fixed, Naoto Hayashi took a taxi to the cafe.

Not long after arriving at the destination, Rokuda Shoji rushed over.

The middle-aged man wore a smile, but inside he had some unspeakable feelings.

On the one hand, being able to eliminate the target, Yotsuki Reika, kill Nikaido, and beat Ichiji Takashi into a murderer was considered an overachievement of his mission.

It can be said that after the death of his only daughter, the chairman of the Yotsui Group was devastated, and sooner or later he would take control of the entire group.

On the other hand, he was also somewhat afraid of that "mastermind detective".

They can summon sharks whenever they want, and they can even summon two more sharks when they want...

This guy is a double-edged sword! What if those old fogies in the Yotsubi Group hear about him and pay to have me killed...?

That would be terrifying!
