Detective Conan: The Literary Genius is Actually a Great Scientist

"Xiao Lan, close the door! Leave no one alive!!!"

When Lin Ran coldly uttered those words.

Ran, one of the three tyrants of Teitan, subconsciously said "Oh," her body reacting faster than her brain. She ran over and closed the door, locking it behind her.

"Garden, turn on the lights, all the lights."

"Slap slap slap!!!"

Sonoko's hands moved incredibly fast as she frantically pressed buttons on the control panel.

Chandeliers, table lamps, and wall lamps instantly illuminate the room as if it were daytime.

The next second, while the two "bandaged monsters" wielding axes were still hesitating about what to do next—whether to fight amongst themselves or confront the outside world first—Lin Ran had already made her move.

He suddenly swung his arm, which was rolled up with his sleeve, in a wide arc.

"Bang!!!"

The sound of the hard, angular shell making intimate contact with the cheekbone is teeth-grinding.

Standing by the window, Ryoichi Takahashi was hit on the head by a flying book, causing his head to tilt to one side. He saw stars, his ears were ringing, and he staggered back several steps, dropping the axe from his hand again.

Les Misérables, the physics version, has outstanding effects.

Before the "bandaged monster" standing in the corner could even feel relieved that this wasn't the time to hit her, a dark shadow rushed in with the sound of wind.

The lights came on, and the fear vanished.

After discovering that physical methods were effective against the two bandaged monsters, Xiaolan instantly caught up with Lin Ran's pace, seamlessly switching from "a girl afraid of ghosts" to "the captain of Teitan Karate".

When it comes to gang fights, the Teitan Three tyrants are their specialty.

Lin Ran was in charge of directing and "reasoning," Sonoko was in charge of rallying support and cleaning up the mess, and as for her, Ran Mouri...

That's the one in charge of doing the actual work!

"Bang!"

A powerful punch landed squarely on her abdomen.

Chikako Ikeda immediately clutched her stomach and curled up in pain, almost vomiting bile from the blow. It was the first time she had ever realized that a high school girl's fist could be so hard.

Xiao Lan, seizing the opportunity, stepped forward and, taking advantage of the moment when the girl lowered her head, delivered a knee strike—

"Thump!"

Chikako Ikeda was sent flying, along with the axe, and landed like a rag doll next to another bandaged monster.

A series of moves, executed smoothly and cleanly.

Violent girl, terrifyingly so!

By the time Ayako Suzuki realized what was happening...

Inside the room, Lin Ran and his two companions stood in a row, looking menacing. In front of them, two strangely bandaged figures, one clutching his head and groaning, the other screaming in agony, created a bizarre scene.

Ayako Suzuki: "..."

No? Are the three of you really that skilled?

What do you guys actually do at school?!

The boy in the shirt, with his sleeves rolled up to reveal his slender forearms, walked over with a cold look in his eyes, bent down, and picked up the copy of "Les Misérables" from the ground.

You only realize how little you know when you need it.

He's an author, so it makes sense for him to use a book in a fight, right?

Handing the book to Yuanzi, whose eyes were shining with anticipation, Lin Ran bent down to pick up the axe dropped by the bandaged monster on the ground, and said in a low voice:

"I've already said, I'm just a scholar, and I've never been one for fighting."

He stood up, weighed the axe in his hand, looked at Takahashi Ryoichi who was clutching his head and looking terrified, and suddenly handed the axe to him.

Ryoichi Takahashi was clearly confused. What did that mean?

"Take it!"

Seeing that he didn't move, Lin Ran suddenly shouted coldly.

Ryoichi Takahashi was startled and instinctively took the axe.

Then he saw Lin Ran wave to him, her tone as calm as if she were greeting a friend:

"Come on, come on, cut me! Keep cutting me! Weren't you so brave just now? Why are you such a coward now?"

Ryoichi Takahashi: "..."

He wanted to cut it too.

If you don't have that scheming girl by your side.

Ryoichi Takahashi witnessed Ran's combo attack—punch, knee strike, flying kick—and didn't he see how his "colleague" next to him had several teeth knocked out? Even his screams were muffled.

"3, 2... 1".

Counting down to three, Lin Ran slapped him on the head.

"I gave you a chance, but you still couldn't do it!"

His tone was full of disappointment and disdain.

"The garden."

"Here I am!"

Hearing Lin Ran call out, Yuanzi excitedly ran forward with the book in her arms, handing him "Les Misérables" as if presenting a treasure.

Having acquired the writer's exclusive weapon, Lin Ran weighed it in her hand and unleashed a barrage of blows on Takahashi Ryoichi. Each strike was accompanied by its own voiceover and lecturing, emphasizing the principle of "persuasion through reason":

"So you think you're the only one who wants to kill me?"

"Snapped!"

"So you're the one who messed up my manuscript?"

"Snapped!"

"So you're the one disturbing the neighbors by staying up all night, huh?"

"Snapped!"

"You f***ing..."

He picked up the book and started lecturing, explaining until the bandaged monster's eyes cleared. Only then did the boy vent his anger, straighten up, hand the book to Sonoko who was waiting beside him, and loosen the buttons on his collar.

It wasn't that I was tired of playing, but that I ran out of words.

Confucius taught them long ago that they should win people over with virtue.

As a scholar from later generations, Lin Ran naturally took these words to heart. So just now, he took a book and talked to Takahashi Ryoichi about what "virtue," "civilization," and "harmonious society" meant.

The other party is now lying on the ground, and looks like they have truly "submitted".

Ayako Suzuki, who was watching from the sidelines, fell silent.

Especially after seeing her younger sister excitedly step forward, kick the "bandaged monster" on the ground twice, and say something like, "I'll teach you to scare me! I'll teach you to scare Xiaolan! I'll teach you to bully Lin Ran!"

Even the usually gentle, dignified young lady, who never showed her emotions, couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Which of you is the bandage weirdo?!

However, when she saw the two bandaged monsters who had been kicked into the corner by Lin Ran and the other two and were trembling and back to back after being "educated," a glint suddenly flashed in her slightly narrowed eyes.

The next moment, a soft, trembling voice echoed in the room:

"Chikako... why did you do this?"

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Hearing her sister's words, Ran and Sonoko, the two beautiful girls, looked incredulous. They never expected that one of the two bandaged monsters they had just beaten up was actually an "acquaintance".

On the ground, the slender "bandaged monster" suddenly froze.

Meanwhile, the other bandaged man, who was clutching his head, suddenly widened his bloodshot eyes upon hearing the name "Chikako," his eyes surging with disbelief followed by overwhelming hatred.

So it was you!

I searched for ages but couldn't find it, and here you are!

Before anyone could react, he suddenly turned around.

The axe swung fiercely toward Chikako Ikeda's neck!

"Takahashi! Let me explain—" Ikeda Chikako was so frightened that she forgot all about pretending and screamed as she tried to back away, but at that moment, she found that she suddenly couldn't move.

My body felt like it was being controlled by something.

Although it was only for a brief moment, it was enough to kill her.

"ah--!!!"

The screams abruptly stopped.

"Pfft—"

The dull thud of an axe blade slicing into flesh and bone echoed in the room.

The moment the axe fell, Lin Ran grabbed Xiao Lan and Yuan Zi by the back with one hand each, and at the same time, she stepped to the side to block the two girls' view.

"Don't look."

Warm, viscous liquid splattered out, and a few drops of crimson blood landed on Lin Ran's sleeve and cheek.

"Thump."

A dull thud as it landed.

A head, wrapped in a few bandages, with wide-open eyes and lingering fear, rolled to Lin Ran's feet and stopped right there.

Lin Ran: "..."

He looked down and met the gaze of the unseeing head. Even with his strong mental fortitude, he was startled by this sudden "intimate contact."

I rely on!

Is this never going to end? Even after you're dead, you still want to scare me? Are you going to keep chasing me down?

Childhood trauma is doubled, right?

Almost reflexively, Lin Ran raised her foot and kicked—

"Get out of here!"

His head was kicked back, and it hit Takahashi Ryoichi's leg right next to it.

"Lin Ran, what happened?"

The two beautiful girls, whose chests were pressed by Lin Ran, tried to look up, but he pressed them back down.

"It's nothing, the prophet just fulfilled her prophecy."

"Oh~"

Sonoko obediently said "Oh," even though she didn't understand what it meant. But since Lin Ran wouldn't let her watch, she decided not to.

Then, happily, she buried her head in Lin Ran's chest again. Hehe, Lin Ran's embrace was so warm, smelled so good, and her heartbeat was so strong.

Xiaolan blushed slightly as she smelled the boy's strong scent on her nose, especially when she felt the large hand on her head gently rubbing it soothingly; her face turned even redder.

"I've already said, you can't just make promises you can't keep these days..."

After a moment of reflection, Lin Ran raised her hand and rubbed her temples, which were throbbing from concentrating on using telekinesis. She also turned her head to the side.

I happened to meet the gaze of a pair of open eyes.

Lin Ran was taken aback.

Ayako Suzuki noticed his gaze, her eyes narrowed again, and she regained her gentle older sister demeanor. She smiled at Lin Ran, as if the cold look in her eyes just now was just an illusion.

"..."

Lin Ran now has serious doubts.

Ryoichi Takahashi's so-called revenge was actually entirely manipulated by this young lady.

This includes the gathering place from the original anime—such a secluded villa, perfect for murder; accidentally "mentioning" the deceased friend Atsuko during the meal, provoking Ikeda Chikako and Takahashi Ryoichi; and just now "revealing" Ikeda Chikako's identity, causing Takahashi Ryoichi's hatred to erupt instantly...

It was all done intentionally by Ayako Suzuki!

People with squinty eyes are definitely monsters!

This gentle lady, once you cut her open, you'll definitely find she's black inside!
