The Black Detective of the Detective Conan World

Unfortunately, we didn't find out anything.

It's very obvious.

There's only one truth!

Eliminate the impossible, no matter how illogical, that is the truth!

This guy actually committed suicide?!

In the end, he could only stand in front of Naoto Hayashi with a bitter expression, gritting his teeth.

"You bastard! What are you trying to do?! What have you done?!"

Naoto Hayashi shrugged and said with a smile, "Conan, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Just as Conan was about to ask more questions, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from behind and hugged him tightly.

It's Ran!

Ran bent down and hugged Conan, saying apologetically to Naoto Hayashi, "Hayashi-san, I'm so sorry this child has caused you trouble."

Naoto Hayashi laughed and said, "Ran, it's okay. Conan is still quite cute, and his little brain is very smart."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Xiao Lan, I'm not much older than you, and I'm also Teacher Mouri's disciple. You don't need to be so polite in the future, just call me by my name."

Xiaolan shook her head: "How can that be? How about I call you Straight Man Bro from now on?"

Lin Zhiren smiled and said, "Whatever you want." Suddenly, he remembered something, took out a beautifully packaged music box from the bag he had been carrying, and handed it to Xiaolan.

"I saw this while shopping this afternoon and thought I'd give it to you as a gift. Don't be shy, there's also a gift for Mr. Mori here."

Xiao Lan accepted it with delight, overjoyed: "Brother Zhi Ren, how can I accept this..."

Lin Zhiren waved his hand and said, "I will be your assistant, and I will visit you often in the future. A small gift is nothing."

Xiaolan happily accepted it, her affection for her father's new assistant growing exponentially.

Not only can she help her father find clues and solve cases, but she also knows how to give gifts to girls. She is so thoughtful and gentle!

Conan, who was being held in Ran's arms, felt cold all over and felt like the sky had fallen!

What are you doing? Huh? What are you doing?

Are you pursuing Ran?!

You actually dared to pursue Ran right in front of me, Shinichi Kudo... Do you think I'm blind?!

Conan felt like there was a bright green hat on his head.

However, after his anger was dispelled by jealousy, a thought suddenly popped into his head:

Wait a minute, this guy, Naoto Hayashi, seems to be a scoundrel who talks nonsense and likes to make absurd jokes. Last time he said something like "preparing 1 billion in three days" and "colluding to commit crimes and steal money" and other such nonsense.

Is this the same this time?

Conan had another flash of inspiration, and a reasonable explanation popped into his mind:

Actually, when Naoto Hayashi mentioned "five million," he had already deduced the real culprit!

So it was just to scare his manager, Mr. Yamagishi Ei?!

The worst part is that Mr. Sakae Yamagishi was actually fooled!

Ah... not only that, but I was fooled too, besides my manager!

It's beyond repair!

What kind of devilishly twisted joke is this?

Conan relaxed completely.

After determining that the young man in front of him was not the real criminal, Conan finally breathed a sigh of relief, no longer having to struggle between a sense of justice and guilt.

However, his resentment towards Naoto Hayashi increased dramatically.

This person clearly has keen observation skills and top-notch reasoning ability. After scanning the many clues at the scene at a glance, he deduced the truth of the case.

But instead of revealing the truth, he used it to scare people and made such an inappropriate joke!

Is there anyone in the world more despicable than this?!

Next time, I'll have Professor Agasa make me a poison needle so I can shoot him dead!

Naoto Hayashi had no idea what Conan was thinking at that moment. After giving Ran the gift, he went to the famous actress Yoko Okino and asked her to sign the limited edition CD he had bought.

Yoko Okino blushed as she signed her name, then said somewhat shyly, "Lin-san, are you also a fan of mine? Should I write 'For Mr. Naoto Hayashi' on it...?"

Naoto Hayashi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "This is a gift I prepared for Mr. Mori. I didn't expect to run into a celebrity in person, so I remembered to ask for an autograph. I don't usually watch idols sing and dance. But don't worry, from today onwards I'm your fan, and I'll support your concerts and albums!"

Yoko Okino was initially disappointed, but after hearing the story, her face turned red. She glanced at Naoto Hayashi's face and felt that the young man was quite handsome. More importantly, he had a wonderful attraction that she couldn't describe in words, as if he was drawing her soul.

From a distance, it doesn't seem like much, but the closer you get to Naoto Hayashi, the stronger the feeling becomes.

Is this what liking someone means?

(Yamagishi Sakae: It's not good to have blond hair...)

Naoto Hayashi was unaware that his Soul Eater physique was affecting the big star. After Kogoro Mouri finished showing off, he stepped forward and handed him the autographed CD.

"Mr. Mori, I originally planned to bring you this gift on my next visit, but I didn't expect..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kogoro snatched the autographed CD from his hand.

Kogoro's eyes lit up, and he patted Naoto Hayashi's shoulder heavily, laughing loudly, "Hatoto-san! You're great! I love this gift, hahaha!"

The more he looked at this young man, the more pleasing he became. Not only was he good at speaking, but he was also rich, thoughtful in giving gifts, and reliable in his work. He had just secretly analyzed clues and deduced the reasoning for himself so that he could complete a thoroughly enjoyable "Detective Kogoro Mouri's Deduction Show"!

He's simply my lucky star!

I wish it were my own son!

Hehehe, how about we try to set him up with Xiaolan?

This is a hundred times better than that other detective kid who's disappeared somewhere.

Conan, who was standing to the side, shivered again, as if a malice had fallen on his head out of nowhere.

Now that the murderer has been identified, the rest is to look for evidence in this direction, such as investigating Yoko's ex-boyfriend's residence, checking the surrounding residents to confirm the people present at the time of the incident, and so on.

However, these are all minor details. After the famous detective's reasoning, the case is basically closed.

After finishing this big case, it was already late. The luxury apartment had become a haunted house and was temporarily uninhabitable, so the manager, Eiichi Yamagishi, could only send Yoko Okino to a hotel for temporary accommodation.

Meanwhile, the Mori family got into Naoto Hayashi's car and drove back to the detective agency.

As Xiaolan looked out the car window, she suddenly let out a soft "ah." Snowflakes were falling gently from the sky, sparkling under the streetlights.

Gazing at the scene, Xiaolan seemed to remember someone, lost in thought, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Conan, sitting next to her, also fell silent.

Soon they arrived at the Mouri Detective Agency. Kogoro arrogantly declared that he wanted to have a good drink, but he was quickly suppressed by Ran, since she and Conan had to go to school the next day.

Naoto Hayashi didn't want to drink and brag with Kogoro, so he made an excuse to go home.

On the way, Yamagishi Ei called and asked him to meet the next day, vaguely indicating that he would bring cash to pay for this "special request".

After hanging up the phone, Naoto Hayashi remained silent.

Dude... haven't you realized yet that this was just a joke I was playing?

Naoto Hayashi was a bit flustered...

Chapter 10 Health Level 5

Five million yen, how much exactly is that?

Converted to RMB at the time, it would be approximately 380,000 to nearly 400,000.

How much savings does Naoto Hayashi have now?

He has about four million yen in his bank account, and his monthly rent income is about eight hundred thousand yen. In addition, the parents of this body will give him some pocket money from time to time, which is more than two hundred thousand yen each time.

To be honest, that's enough money for him to squander.

However, the thought of my assets doubling in value out of thin air...

After all, he wasn't the original Naoto Hayashi; he was just a transmigrator with the same name.

He also didn't want to have much contact with the parents of this body, even though they were very rich.

Therefore, Naoto Hayashi also wanted to have his own independent income.

This five million will allow him to live freely for a long time.

After hesitating for a while, Naoto Hayashi decided to test Yamagishi Sakae's intentions tomorrow.

In other words, the "scumbag principle" is: not taking initiative, not refusing, and not taking responsibility.

Anyway, he was a soul devourer and could no longer be considered human. Now that he had achieved freedom of soul, he wanted to find some fun for himself.

Naoto Hayashi felt he wasn't cut out to make money honestly in this world.

After all, this is the world of Detective Conan, where the flow of time is chaotic and the development of technology is also leaps and bounds, making it difficult to predict.

Many well-known brands from past lives are nowhere to be found in this world, such as Apple, Microsoft, and Google; they don't exist.

The mobile phone he uses now is still a thick and heavy feature phone with a black and white screen, which can only send and receive text messages and make phone calls. Even so, it is still a luxury that many people cannot afford. When he bought it, it cost him about 20,000 to 30,000 yen.

Didn't you notice that even Kogoro Mouri doesn't have a cell phone? He has to call a landline to keep in touch.

Of course, according to the Conan storyline he remembered, there would definitely be several opportunities to make money later on. As long as he seized them, becoming rich overnight would be no problem!

With mixed feelings, Naoto Hayashi returned to his residence.

Eat, read comics, watch anime.

Naoto Hayashi stayed up until almost midnight before finally putting down the comic book and getting ready to sleep.

"Oh dear, isn't this kind of decadent life a bit too much..." Lin Zhiren took out the soul wrapped in the skin of sin from his bosom, opened it and sucked on it a few times, then sealed it up again with satisfaction and put it away.

Naoto Hayashi decided that after this period of time, he would consume a few more souls, recover his health, and then find a job he liked or learn something new.

After all, in the world of Conan, time seems to flow, but in reality, it is in a state of near stagnation.

He has plenty of time to improve himself.

Naoto Hayashi's previous life was a history and philosophy student in college, who just wanted to get a diploma and didn't learn anything. In his previous life, he studied computer programming and then caught up with the AI ​​wave, so he taught himself a lot about artificial intelligence.

Unfortunately, they were all half-baked.

So what should we learn in this life?

I still think computers are more fun.

I slept very comfortably.

After all, without the pressure of survival and with a long-term meal ticket, Naoto Hayashi felt that life was quite wonderful.

Lin Zhiren didn't get out of bed until late morning, and after slowly washing up, he changed into his workout clothes and went out for a jog of a few kilometers.

While consuming souls can improve physical fitness, combining it with regular aerobic exercise will definitely accelerate the improvement.

However, his physical condition was really too poor. Even though he ran as slowly as a snail, he was eventually exhausted, drenched in sweat, and his muscles were twitching.

Finally, Naoto Hayashi couldn't bear it any longer. Trembling, he pulled out the soul wrapped in sin and swallowed it in one gulp.

The nourishing energy quickly spread throughout the body. This time, in addition to replenishing one's spirituality, most of the energy was integrated into the physical body, rapidly strengthening all the cells in the body.

Lin Zhiren looked at his hands in surprise. In just a few breaths, he felt that he was no longer trembling, and the soreness had completely disappeared.

What he found even more difficult to understand was that a slight outline of muscle had appeared on his abdomen!

"Holy crap, it's that effective? I get it!" Lin Zhiren suddenly realized that this kind of soul replenishment not only replenishes spirituality but also physical energy.

When he engages in intense exercise, the energy within his body increases rapidly. At this time, when he devours souls, the energy will be prioritized for supplying his physical cells.

After all, at this moment, the cells are screaming in agony, all looking like they're saying, "If you don't give me energy, I'll die right now."

This is the principle behind the saying "the squeaky wheel gets the grease."

"This characteristic... could it be utilized? For example, to specifically enhance a certain aspect of my abilities..." Lin Zhiren pondered for a moment, feeling that he had some ideas, and could try it out another day.

I smacked my lips, the lingering fragrance filling my mouth, but unfortunately, that soul also melted instantly upon entering my mouth. I had originally planned to preserve it for a few more days... Sigh.

Lin Zhiren thought to himself, squeezed the small lump of sin, and put it back into his pocket.
