The Black Detective of the Detective Conan World

Although it was still drizzling, the poor police officers had no choice but to rush to the crime scene immediately after hearing that a murder had occurred in the mountains.

Not wanting to waste time in such a place, Naoto Hayashi quietly guided Conan and Kogoro Mouri to find the other two corpses as well.

Three bodies—this is already a very serious case.

Fortunately, none of the dead were good people—a murderer and two robbers—so no one sympathized with them.

Lin Zhiren only obtained three clumps of souls from these three corpses, without gaining any merit.

Clearly, the two robbers robbed, killed, and fought amongst themselves before being killed by Chianti, without going through any trial or confession process, so they naturally did not accumulate any merit.

The same goes for Silver Fox. Although he killed countless people, he didn't receive any merit after he was killed; instead, he left behind a trail of sins.

Lin Zhiren didn't mind at all; he gathered all the sins into a small ball and put it in his pocket.

He always felt that this thing would be useful in the future, so there was no harm in accumulating more.

Actually, Naoto Hayashi has a bit of a collecting habit. Just like when he plays Minecraft, no matter how much dirt or cobblestone he digs up while mining, he would rather put it in a chest than throw away a single piece.

After finding all the bodies, Kogoro and Conan used their deductions to analyze the cause of death and quickly figured out the cause of death for the victims.

In that couple, the woman was stabbed in the back by the man, and the man was shot in the head.

Furthermore, Silver Fox was also shot in the head, which clearly indicates that there is a terrifying assassin hiding in this mountain who has sniped two people!

Soon after, the police finally arrived, and Kogoro Mouri learned from them the true identities of the couple: they were members of his own gang who had robbed him.

And now, the hundred million they had stolen has vanished.

Clearly, it was the sniper's side of sharks who stole the money.

However, the clues end there.

Even a renowned detective is helpless against such an unreasonable shark.

The police dissected the body and opened it up.

Of course, before that, they also helped find the real caretaker of the mountain cabin. He had been kidnapped by the silver fox and thrown into the cave, and it was quite fortunate that he hadn't been silenced.

However, the descent was not smooth. It was raining, and the road was slippery in the dark. When he was almost at the foot of the mountain, Kogoro Mouri slipped and broke his leg with a crack!

Hearing Kogoro's pitiful screams, Naoto Hayashi went over speechlessly and used his spiritual power to activate the "legendary" moonlight to give him a healing treatment.

Xiao Lan asked in surprise, "Brother Zhiren, did you use the 'pressure point technique' from ancient Chinese martial arts?"

Naoto Hayashi smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Kogoro grimaced and said, "What pressure point technique? Huh? My leg... why does it feel less painful?"

Naoto Hayashi gave a brief explanation, then warned, "Mr. Mori, this technique can only help alleviate your injuries, but I can't fix the broken bones. You should go to the hospital as soon as possible."

Kogoro Mouri nodded repeatedly.

Being able to help alleviate the injury is already a huge help.

After finally reaching the foot of the mountain, Ran called an ambulance and took Kogoro Mouri to the hospital, where she stayed with him.

Naoto Hayashi then escorted Conan back to the Mouri Detective Agency.

When they arrived at the office, they found that the client, Chao Wenzhao, was already waiting there.

He pulled Naoto Hayashi aside and quietly handed him a check for 20 million.

Having avenged his great grudge, Chao Wenzhao was noticeably calmer and quite polite to Lin Zhiren: "Thank you, Mr. Lin and Detective Maoli, for your help in avenging my beloved daughter."

Lin Zhiren waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense. The one who killed Silver Fox was an unknown assassin, and it has nothing to do with us."

Chao Wenzao laughed heartily and said, "Anyway, thank you very much. I will promote you on my WeChat Moments in the future."

With a wave of his hand, Chao Wenzao turned around and found Conan eavesdropping at the door.

Knowing that this kid was also a member of the "black hand," Chao Wenzhao took out a ten-thousand-dollar bill from his pocket, stuffed it into Conan's pocket, and patted his head with a smile: "Not bad, lad. You'd better work hard to become a great detective in the future!"

He laughed heartily and strode away.

Conan stared at the banknotes in his hand, feeling numb.

Lin Zhiren stood to the side, saying in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, someone's taking bribes!"

Conan looked at Naoto Hayashi with grief and indignation: It's all your fault, you bastard!

Suddenly, Naoto's phone rang. As soon as he answered, he heard Sonoko's loud voice: "Naoto-nii! I heard from Ran that you guys were attacked by a sniper?! Are you guys okay?"

Naoto Hayashi smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, we're both fine."

Sonoko suddenly said somewhat awkwardly, "Naoto-kun, Ran and I are going to a concert tomorrow. It's the popular group TWO-MIX! Do you want to come with us? I have several tickets."

Without a second thought, Naoto Hayashi readily agreed: "Sure, I was just looking forward to listening to their songs too."

TWO-MIX? Who's that?

Sonoko immediately perked up: "Great idea, Naoto-nii! Let's go together then!"

After hanging up the phone, Naoto Hayashi saw Conan with a pair of dead fish eyes.

"Hey buddy, do you have a thing for Sonoko? Why do you always go with her whenever she asks you out?"

Lin Zhiren flicked his forehead and laughed, "This is adult entertainment. You're still young. You'll understand when you grow up."

Conan pursed his lips.

However, the two tacitly avoided mentioning the matter of illicit money again...

Chapter 129 Let's go to a concert together

The next morning, Naoto Hayashi first went to the hospital to visit Kogoro Mouri, who was injured and hospitalized.

It's probably because Naoto Hayashi used the "legendary" moonlight to heal his broken leg, so the original fracture turned into a bone crack. He only needs to be put in a cast and hospitalized for a few days to recover.

This made Kogoro Mouri extremely grateful.

Naoto Hayashi felt a little relieved.

After all, he was hoping that Kogoro would take on a few more cases that would result in death; he couldn't just stay in the hospital all the time.

In the days without Kogoro, all we can look forward to is Conan.

However, when leaving the hospital, Naoto Hayashi saw Kogoro's attending physician, a doctor in his forties with thinning hair on the top of his head, who turned out to be an acquaintance.

Mitsuo Shirai, a surgeon with the Medical Association.

Moreover, this person has a hidden identity: he is a member of the Assassin's Guild!

He had met him during a previous train murder case, at which time he developed feelings for Kogoro Mouri, which caught Naoto Hayashi's attention.

I never expected to run into him here again... Is it a coincidence? Or does he still harbor ill intentions towards Kogoro?

In short, close monitoring is necessary.

Naoto Hayashi quietly left behind a monitoring bee before taking his leave.

Today, Sonoko and I have arranged to go to the concert together at 6:30 pm, and we can spend the day shopping, having dinner, and having some fun.

Naoto Hayashi, of course...

I gladly accepted.

Please, how could he possibly refuse to go shopping with two beautiful, fair-skinned high school girls? Besides, there's a possibility of encountering a murder case.

However, after the group met up, Lin Zhi was surprised to find that only he, Yuanzi, and Xiaolan had gone shopping that day.

And Ran's keychain, the little brat Conan who's always hanging around her like a tail, isn't here today!

I asked Xiaolan and found out that the boy had been kidnapped by three kids from the Junior Detective Club early in the morning, who said they wanted to play games together.

Xiaolan was also very supportive.

After all, there's no one at the agency today. Kogoro is in the hospital, and I'm going out to see a concert. Who's going to cook for Conan?

Let him go play with his friends.

You can just grab something quick and easy for lunch.

Besides, it's not good for a child to spend all his time with corpses and murder cases. He should interact more with his peers so that he can have a normal and complete childhood.

Naoto Hayashi hesitated for a moment.

The difficult choice is between "going to find Conan and searching for possible murder cases with a few kids" and "going shopping, sightseeing, and watching concerts with two girls".

Pshaw, do I even need to choose? Of course, I'll go shopping with a girl.

He's not some obsessive detective; he came to this world to enjoy life.

There are cases every day, so let's take a short break today.

Upon seeing Naoto Hayashi, Sonoko's face lit up with pink bubbles. She tugged at Ran's ear and whispered, "It's only been a few days since we last met, and Naoto-nii seems even more handsome now? I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."

"Xiao Lan, does your dad need an assistant? I'd like to be his assistant for free, so I can see Zhi Ren Ge every day!"

"Damn it!" Ran shoved Sonoko's infatuated face away and said with disdain, "What can you do as an assistant? Can you collect evidence or deduce cases? If a thug rushes up, we'll have to go through all the trouble of protecting you. You're just a hindrance."

Sonoko's eyes immediately welled up with tears: "Ran, don't you love me anymore? How could you say such heartless things..."

Lin Zhiren had keen ears and naturally overheard the two girls' whispers.

To say I've become more handsome is probably true. Since separating from Sonoko last time, I've accumulated a lot of merit, and my soul is becoming more and more complete, giving me a unique aura.

The group of people walked down the street; the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, attracting the attention of many passersby.

Some handsome guys shamelessly came over to chat with Ran and Sonoko, while some pretty girls set their sights on Naoto Hayashi, blushing as they came over to ask for his contact information.

Sonoko was initially pleased that someone finally appreciated her beauty, but she soon realized that Naoto Hayashi was also attracting attention, and she was immediately furious.

This is mine!

We can't let some other glamorous, wicked woman steal the straight guy away!

She immediately pulled Xiaolan to Lin Zhiren's side, and the three of them walked side by side.

In this way, any woman who dares to approach will be stared at by Sonoko with a fierce gaze and eventually retreat on her own.

The group enjoyed shopping and strolling around happily, and even had a big meal together at noon. Lin Zhiren has been making money very quickly lately, so treating others to meals is no problem for him.

The group strolled around until after 3 p.m., and Naoto Hayashi felt incredibly relaxed, a state he could never experience with Conan around.

Suddenly, Sonoko suggested, "Why don't we go to the concert venue now? Maybe we can catch a glimpse of the concert venue!"

Xiaolan agreed: "Great! I've prepared an autograph book. If I run into them, I'll definitely ask them for an autograph!"

Naoto Hayashi seamlessly joined the conversation, saying, "Why don't we prepare another bouquet? We can use that as an excuse to send flowers over and get up close to the celebrity."

Both girls were overjoyed, thinking that Naoto Hayashi was really thoughtful. If it were Shinichi with them, he would probably only say some unpleasant things and wouldn't be able to help at all.

Well, of course, it's more likely that he simply won't go shopping with them at all.

Without further ado, the three of them first went to a florist to buy a bouquet of flowers, and then headed to the concert venue, the Tokyo Budokan.

This place is frequently used for large-scale events such as concerts and press conferences. The indoor area can accommodate more than 5,000 people, making it a sacred place for performances in the hearts of Japanese artists.

Naoto Hayashi learned a little about this TWO-MIX group beforehand, including the beautiful lead vocalist Minami Takayama and the handsome keyboardist Shiina Nagano.

Their songs are all theme songs from popular anime, making them quite popular among young people.

When they arrived outside the Tokyo Budokan, they found that a considerable number of fans and spectators had already gathered there.

"It's really lively..." Naoto Hayashi sighed slightly, thinking of Ai Haibara, the cold-faced little girl who was always cooped up in the lab, and decided to bring her out to play next time so she could relax. Only by balancing work and rest can one have the motivation to do research.

Suddenly, several shouts came from not far away.

"Sister Xiaolan!"

"Sonoko-neechan!"

"Ah, it's that handsome older brother, the straight guy!"

The group turned around and saw several children running over.

It was the "Young Freeloaders" group: Conan, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko.

Naoto Hayashi glanced over and noticed that Conan looked helpless and tired, as if the three kids were forcing Conan to play a childish game.

However... does Conan's appearance mean that a case is about to occur?

Lin Zhiren looked around but didn't detect any murderous intent or sin.

Xiaolan didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. After a brief chat, everyone went their separate ways.
