The Black Detective of the Detective Conan World

Should I say it in front of my parents?

Are you really not afraid at all?

And wait...

Who agreed to that?!

Shut up right now!

The Kudo couple, standing nearby, were also startled. They looked at each other, somewhat doubting their own ears.

Is he joking? He must be joking.

This Mr. Lin, he just loves to joke around...

That amazing shot earlier was enough to show that Lin Sang is very serious when it comes to creating drama.

Moreover, how could they not know what kind of personality their son, Shinichi Kudo, has?

That person is absolutely righteous and hates evil.

So when Lin-san said he was cooperating with Shinichi to extort money and collect a reward, that was just a way of expressing humor.

Young people these days.

The Kudo couple laughed and said to Conan in agreement, "Then you two have to do your best!"

Conan is numb.

Keep it up, you idiot!

I'm not trying to be mean, but you two... this bastard is absolutely serious when he speaks!

He really wants to drag your son into extortion!

Please, wake up!

Unfortunately, no one cared about his attitude.

Even if Conan jumps around and opposes Naoto Hayashi, in other people's eyes, it must be because he is still angry about the fake sniping incident, so he goes against Naoto Hayashi in every way.

That's too childish, like a primary school student.

Kudo Yusaku called Hayashi Naoto aside and quietly handed him a check.

Fifty million yen.

Why would he ask for help without any real commitment? Especially when it comes to protecting his own impulsive and reckless child.

I don't know how many more messes I'll have to clean up after him in the future.

So this 50 million is a fee for hard work and labor.

Yusaku Kudo is a world-renowned mystery novelist with a fortune of hundreds of millions!

He's a truly wealthy man in Hawaii, owning a big house, a private jet, and a private yacht.

So a mere 50 million yen is really nothing.

Naoto Hayashi glanced at it and accepted it without hesitation.

The two exchanged a knowing smile, their understanding unspoken.

Then comes cleaning up the mess.

At the Beika Grand Hotel, they broke the floor-to-ceiling windows and left red paint all over the floor. Naturally, Naoto Hayashi didn't have to pay for it; Yusaku Kudo generously compensated them.

Afterwards, Yukiko Kudo disguised herself as Fumiyo Edogawa and sent Conan back to the Mouri Detective Agency, asking Kogoro to take care of him.

Ten million in child support!

Kogoro Mouri was overjoyed and immediately bought all the bags.

It's just taking care of a little brat, right? I'd raise him like my own son!

So the Kudo couple came quietly and left quietly.

It went unnoticed by anyone.

That night, to celebrate, Kogoro took Naoto Hayashi to a familiar nightclub, where they drank, called girls, and indulged in revelry.

However, while he was drinking, Naoto Hayashi received an anonymous phone call.

He went to a secluded spot to answer the phone and heard a fake electronic voice.

"Is this Lin Sang? I have a big request for you... I wonder if you would be willing to accept it?"

Lin Zhiren frowned and asked, "What request?"

"Exploding Rice Flower City Tower"

Chapter 86 Can you help me blow up those buildings?

What is that?

What did you say you wanted to fry?

Naoto Hayashi put the phone away, frowned, looked at the receiver, and fell silent for a moment.

No, what's going on?

Why would such an outrageous request appear?

Just how badly is the reputation of the famous detective Kogoro Mouri being tarnished these days?

Normally, a request for a shark would be outrageous enough, but now there are requests to blow up buildings...

Are you serious?

After a long silence from Lin Zhiren's side, the electronic voice said, "So you really can't answer?"

Lin Zhiren sighed and said, "Two sharks are alright, but blowing up a building is a bit too much."

The person on the other end didn't know how to respond for a moment.

After an awkward silence, the man sneered, "The legendary 'Sleeping Darkness' seems to be nothing special after all. Heh, it looks like I'll have to find someone else for this job."

Lin Zhiren was somewhat surprised. Was there really someone so bold as to take on a job like bombing a building?

Are you really not afraid of death?

And what the heck is this "Sleeping Darkness"?!

Does it refer to "The Sleeping Mastermind Detective"?

Where did these weird names come from?!

The call was disconnected.

Naoto Hayashi frowned in thought, feeling that the plot seemed somewhat familiar—blowing up the Beika City Tower…

I remember now, it must be the theatrical version.

In that episode, the murderer stole explosives from somewhere and then started blowing things up recklessly.

I don't know if it was blown up four or five times, and in the end it almost killed Xiaolan too.

Hmm? Xiaolan?

What activities has Xiaolan been up to lately?

It seems like it's for Shinichi Kudo's birthday?

On such a memorable and important day, if it were combined with the killer's big bomb, it would probably create quite a festive atmosphere.

Based on the development of global consciousness, it is estimated that this is how things will unfold.

Lin Zhiren understood.

Although I really don't want to experience the power of a bomb up close, I might actually have to participate this time.

It wasn't for retrieving souls.

Rather, it was to prevent the explosion from implicating too many innocent people.

Naoto Hayashi always viewed murderers with a spectator's mentality. Even if he discovered Shark's plan in advance, he would not stop them and would even take the opportunity to make a profit.

However, he strongly does not want to see such indiscriminate large-scale bombings, which will obviously implicate innocent people.

That's something only madmen and psychopaths would do.

However, there is still some time before the day of the explosion... which is Shinichi Kudo's birthday, and it's hard to say exactly how long.

Anyway, Naoto Hayashi can't confirm it.

The time jumps in this world are very unfriendly to him.

But it doesn't matter, he can keep an eye on Xiaolan and follow the news reports.

Before those bombings happened, there must have been rumors of a stolen explosives.

So there's no rush.

First, I need to finish watching tomorrow's mystery show on Nichiuri TV!

The next day, Naoto Hayashi got up early to exercise as usual, then drove to the detective agency to pick up the Mori family and head to the Nichiuri TV station.

Kogoro Mouri naturally had to bring his whole family to support him in this opportunity to shine.

Kogoro was still dozing off in the car, while Ran turned on the radio.

[Breaking News: A gunpowder depot in Japan was burglarized last night, with a large quantity of explosives stolen by unidentified individuals. The Metropolitan Police Department has deployed over a hundred officers to conduct a search, but there are currently no leads. Citizens are advised to be cautious when going out...]

Huh?

Naoto Hayashi was taken aback.

Last night I was wondering when the news of the bomb theft would come out, and then I heard it today?

That prisoner was quite efficient.

However, since that person just stole the explosives, the next step is to make the bomb and install the device. Presumably, the threatening message will not appear for another two days.

The people in the car were greatly surprised when they heard the sound coming from the radio.

Kogoro Mori, no longer sleepy, stroked his chin and said, "How could they even steal from an Orient gunpowder depot? How did these guys manage to protect it? They're a bunch of useless idiots."

Xiaolan said worriedly, "Explosives! That's terrifying. How could anyone steal such a dangerous thing?"

Conan was also somewhat worried, but still reassured her, "Ran-neechan, don't worry. Turning stolen gunpowder into a bomb requires specialized knowledge and materials; it's not something an ordinary person can do... um..."

Conan paused at this point.

Beika Town is a place of outstanding people and abundant resources; it seems there's no shortage of such talent.

He could only add, "Even if a bomb were made, no one would dare to place it in a public place, unless that person is insane..."

Suddenly, a blinding light burst forth from a luxury sedan to their side and rear.

Boom!

The car exploded.

The explosion wasn't too violent, but it blew the door off the luxury car, sending thick smoke and flames billowing out of the vehicle.

Three people rolled and crawled out of the car, and they also dragged out a charred corpse.

Conan stared at the exploding car, speechless Σ(⊙▽⊙“! He felt like his mouth had been blessed today.

However, he quickly regained his senses and shouted, "Naoto-nii, stop the car!"

Without him saying anything, Naoto Hayashi was already preparing to pull over.

As soon as the car stopped, Kogoro and Conan jumped out and rushed to the burning vehicle to help rescue people and put out the fire.

Naoto Lin tossed the phone to Ran: "Ran! Call the police!"

Then he took the fire extinguisher from the car and ran over to put out the fire.

The fire in the luxury car was quickly extinguished, and then the police arrived.

The team was naturally led by Inspector Megure.

When he saw that Mori was indeed there, he couldn't help but sigh slightly. But when he saw Naoto Hayashi next to him, he suddenly found Mori more agreeable.

Compared to Naoto Hayashi, who likes to make bad jokes, Mori is practically a normal person.
