The Black Detective of the Detective Conan World

What frightened Rokuda even more was that he heard this man had handled another murder case.

Just after leaving the Yoshii family villa, they spent the night at a temple on the road. However, the old abbot somehow offended this famous detective and was killed by him.

Masashi Rokuda was also well-informed, and besides, it wasn't exactly a confidential case.

I heard that the "murderer" was a monk practicing in the temple.

Pooh!

That's ridiculous, who would believe that?

If someone dies first, and then you move in, then it can be said that you've encountered a murder case.

But now that you've moved in, and a murder has occurred that very night, then it must be you who committed the murder!

Masashi Rokuda felt he had the right to speak.

He originally planned to wait until things calmed down before giving Naoto Hayashi a "thank you money" gift.

But after this incident, he was a little worried that the other party might be impatient.

If they think I'm trying to renege on my debt... then I'm doomed.

As soon as Rokuda Shoji sat down, he took out a check and respectfully pushed it towards him.

Forty million.

Chapter 78 Everyone's murderous intent, how do you want to die?

Naoto Hayashi was taken aback when he saw the amount on the check.

"Ah, this..."

Rokuda Shoji said respectfully, "Lin-san, you have worked so hard to help our chairman catch the murderer and stop him from committing further crimes. Please accept this reward."

Lin Zhiren tapped the table lightly, and asked in confusion, "But... forty million?"

Yoshii Reika gets 20 million each, Nikaido gets 10 million each, does that mean Ichiji Takashi counts too? But he's not dead.

Rokuda Shoji coughed and looked away, saying, "Mr. Ichigo Takashi actually dared to lay a hand on the daughter of Chairman Yotsubi. Even if he goes to jail, he probably won't have a good ending. How pitiful."

Naoto Hayashi understood.

After all, it's a large conglomerate. Chairman Yotsubi has lost his only daughter, so he probably won't let the murderer off easily.

Therefore, Ichiji Takashi is doomed.

But you have to count this kill as part of my kill KPI...

Fine, I'll reluctantly accept it.

Seeing that Naoto Hayashi had no objections, Masashi Rokuda finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But that's not enough; the detective must feel the weight of his search.

"In addition, I have contacted Nichibumi TV and am preparing to invite Detective Mori as a guest on the next episode of their popular mystery-solving show, 'All Japan Detective Club.' I wonder if Mr. Mori would be willing to accept?"

"All Japan Detective Club" is a popular entertainment-oriented mystery show that invites famous detectives as guests each episode.

Being able to appear on this show greatly boosts a detective's reputation.

Lin Zhiren was somewhat surprised; this guy was quite good at doing favors.

It seems that to climb to such a high position, one must be quite skilled in both talent and social interaction.

Naoto Hayashi smiled and accepted on Kogoro's behalf.

Rokuda Shoji felt relieved and smiled as he took his leave.

Naoto Hayashi put the check away.

Then he turned his head to look outside... Oh ho, he saw Conan again!

Across the street, Conan was staring at him speechlessly.

However, he wasn't alone; Xiao Lan was with him, and she also saw Lin Zhiren and was waving to him.

Naoto Hayashi got up and left the cafe, coming to the side of the two.

"What a coincidence, you're out shopping?" Lin Zhiren asked with a smile.

Ran said with a slight shyness, "Yes, it's almost May 4th, isn't it? That's Shinichi's birthday. I'm planning to prepare a gift for him in advance and give it to him in person."

Conan, standing to the side, blushed and grinned foolishly.

"By the way, Naoto-kun, why don't you come too? What kind of gift should I buy for Shinichi?

Conan's face darkened instantly.

"Me? Haha, you've asked the wrong person. I only know how to buy black clothes. Or, why don't you give Kudo-kun a few sets of black clothes too?"

Naoto Hayashi offered his suggestion, full of wicked humor.

Conan shuddered and shot him a resentful look.

"Huh?" Ran imagined Shinichi in black, and for some reason, the image of him in a black suit standing at a wedding came to mind...

Xiao Lan blushed immediately.

"No, that's not a good idea, is it? How about we give him a red coat instead..." Ran said somewhat awkwardly, "I called Shinichi before, and he said he likes red."

Conan's half-moon eyes: Hey, hey, it's because red is your favorite color...

However, Naoto Hayashi didn't have anything to do right now, so he went shopping with them until evening and then went to the "Rex Band" gathering.

Ran was browsing the men's clothing store with great interest, while Naoto and Conan were whispering to each other in the back.

Conan, with his arms behind his head, said somewhat irritably, "Hey (#`O′), I saw it! You accepted a check from that Mr. Rokuda Shoji... Are you trying to extort someone again? That's a crime, you know that?"

Naoto Hayashi told the truth: "It wasn't extortion. It was a reward I gave him for helping him get rid of Yotsuji Reika."

Conan was speechless. He glanced at her and said, "You're full of nonsense. Not a single word of the truth comes out. He didn't have a girlfriend who was killed by Yotsuki Reika, so why would he ask you to do this? Besides, the murderer is clearly that Ichigo Takashi."

Naoto Hayashi glanced at him: "If you don't believe me, fine. By the way, Ran said she's going to personally give 'Shinichi Kudo' a gift on your birthday. What are you going to do?"

Upon hearing this, Conan's face immediately fell, and he lost all interest in pressing Naoto Hayashi for answers: "Sigh, I don't know either, I'm really worried about it..."

Last time at the diplomat's house, he didn't understand how he suddenly turned back into his original body. He wished he could do it again!

Is it a bad cold? Or that bottle of strong liquor?

I wonder if Ai Haibara has figured out anything from her research...

Is she even capable?

Lin Zhiren said regretfully, "It's a pity I don't know how to do makeup, otherwise I could have covered for you."

Conan immediately became alert: "Even if you could, you don't need to replace me!"

Lin Zhiren said indifferently, "Whatever, just don't come to me for help when your identity is exposed in the future."

Conan hesitated again.

He remembered that his mother, Yukiko Kudo, was skilled in makeup; after all, she was once a famous actress. Unfortunately, his mother was no longer in Japan...

No, no, no, what am I thinking? We need to keep a close eye on this kid and make sure he doesn't get close to Xiaolan. What if he has some designs on Xiaolan?

But I should still call my mom when I have some time tonight and ask when she and my dad are coming back.

Sigh, I don't know if they can accept such an outrageous thing as their son shrinking.

I really don't know how to bring it up.

Ran is incredibly strong in combat, and after visiting countless clothing stores, she finally bought a red jacket for Shinichi.

Conan and Naoto Hayashi, on the other hand, were exhausted.

It was already evening when Sonoko called, saying she was going to meet up with Ran to attend a "Rex Band" gathering.

Soon everyone met at a karaoke bar.

The manager here is said to have been the former leader of the "Rex Band", so the band often holds private rooms here to sing and have small gatherings.

Today, they also booked a private room to eat, drink, sing, dance, relax, and have fun together.

The band members already knew Sonoko's identity, so they all acted very kindly and friendly, and were not at all pretentious towards Sonoko's ordinary friends.

Since everyone was young, they quickly became familiar with each other.

Naoto Hayashi doesn't follow celebrities and usually watches teen idol song and dance shows, so he's not very interested in this band.

However, considering that Conan is participating tonight and there is a possibility of a murder, I took a rare moment to pay attention to the members of this band.

The cast includes a handsome lead vocalist with a golden hedgehog head, a muscular drummer in sunglasses, a beautiful female guitarist with short red hair, and a beautiful female manager with brown hair.

Naoto Hayashi secretly released a few small spiders and placed them inside and outside the private room.

Xiao Lan was extremely happy to be able to get up close and personal with popular band stars, and she didn't hold back her praise for them, showing her high emotional value.

Sonoko accompanied Ran throughout her fun-filled time and even sang a few songs along.

The two high school girls were youthful and beautiful, with lovely voices. As they sang, the band members applauded and cheered them enthusiastically.

Lin Zhiren didn't have much of a talent for singing, so he sat in the corner eating fruit and watching the performance.

Conan wasn't interested in singing either, so he fought with Naoto Hayashi for the fruit platter.

However, as the party progressed, lead singer Tatsuya Kimura, after drinking a few beers, began to vomit venom while intoxicated, his foul breath comparable to that of Katsuhiko Minagawa, the protagonist of the "Valentine's Day murder case."

He first mocked the sunglasses-wearing drummer for his terrible skills, then said the red-haired female guitarist played poorly, and then berated the brown-haired female manager as an ugly monster.

After a barrage of area-of-effect attacks, a strong killing intent rose from the three of them!

Chapter 79 I can make all three of them confess.

Naoto Hayashi was convinced.

He discovered that the dead people in Beika Town each had their own way of dying.

This guy has clearly been foul-mouthed before; he's probably done it a lot in the past. But everyone tolerates it because he's the lead singer of the band.

However, today... Lin Zhiren overheard a few people chatting and learned that this handsome lead singer was actually planning to disband the band and go solo!

Holy crap, this is amazing!

You've planted all the flags!

At this moment, the KTV manager, who was also the former leader of the "Rex Band," came into the private room with fruit platters and snacks. He was a tall, muscular middle-aged man with a small mustache.

As a result, Tatsuya Kimura got carried away with his rant, and even the former captain got a few scoldings, saying, "Without us, your lousy shop will go out of business sooner or later."

The manager left the private room with a forced smile, but his face immediately darkened, and he exuded a murderous aura.

There are four now.

This time, four people harbor murderous intent towards Tatsuya Kimura!

Naoto Hayashi said that this was truly an eye-opening experience!

Even if you want to die, this isn't the way to do it.

You should know that the people of Mika believe in quick revenge and don't let grudges linger overnight!

They have the kind of personality where if you glare at them, they'll retaliate against your entire family.

In comparison, the "What are you looking at? What's it to you? Try looking at me again? Fine, I'll try!" attitude of Northeast China is clearly at a disadvantage.

This guy has sprayed four people in a row, and he's still thinking of just packing his bags and running away?

You're dreaming!

Sure enough, the moment to witness the shark was about to begin!

Under Spider-Man's surveillance, the first person to be targeted was the brown-haired female manager, who applied poison to the inside of Tatsuya Kimura's jacket, on his elbow.

If Tatsuya Kimura takes off his coat, touches his elbow, and then eats something, he's doomed.

Next, the sunglasses-wearing drummer made his move, secretly applying poison to his left hand.

He eats and drinks with his right hand, while his left hand is always ready to help Tatsuya Kimura with food.

Finally, there was the red-haired female guitarist. She stared at the song list, patiently waiting for Tatsuya Kimura's song to appear, and then rushed to sing the previous song.

After she finished singing, she secretly applied poison to the microphone. Every time Tatsuya Kimura sang while holding the microphone, the poison would naturally transfer to his hands.
