An infinite journey starting from paradise

The roller coaster started up, gradually picking up speed as the track became increasingly bumpy. The couple in Lin Shangren's backseat screamed from the jolting ride. Despite the sharp wind and the roller coaster's breakneck speed, Lin Shangren remained calm. After all, he'd personally experienced Mach 70, so a roller coaster of this magnitude was child's play for him. He gently held Hehuan's hand, however. One of the purposes of this type of ride was to allow couples to bond through intense excitement, fostering a sense of connection through the suspension bridge effect.

Soon, the roller coaster plunged into a deep, dark tunnel. Lin Shangren watched the murderer in the front row quietly. She saw her head drop down, then she freed herself from the seat's safety buckle. She turned and stood up, hooking her feet onto the seat for balance. Then, she stretched out the piano wire in her hand and leaned her upper body toward the next row behind her.

Looking at the pair of breasts gradually approaching his face, Lin Shangren fell into deep thought: "How blind must Kudo Shinichi be in the original work to ignore these headlights that blur his face?"

Thinking of this, Lin Shangren grabbed the big thunder that was dangling in front of him before the murderer could put his glove on the victim's neck, and the Eagle Finger was activated at the same time. The murderer, who was about to put the piano wire around the victim's neck, felt his body go limp and lost all his strength.

“How could this happen?! It’s over…!”

She was about to be thrown out by the roller coaster's inertia and smashed into a pulp. Just when she was in despair, Lin Shangren, who was under her, grabbed her waist and helped her steady her body. She subconsciously wanted to hug the back of Lin Shangren's seat, but ended up hugging Lin Shangren's neck and pressing his face into her chest.

Soon the roller coaster rushed out of the tunnel and saw the light of day again.

Looking at Lin Shangren who was forced to use facial cleanser, Hehuan pinched Lin Shangren's arm hard.

Although the concubines in the harem allow Lin Shangren to cheat openly, but... this... isn't this too unpicky?

Chapter 144: Crush his girlfriend, sleep with his mother-in-law, and steal his mother

“Wow…Waaaaaaaaa…”

The suspect, named Renmei, squatted on the ground, covered his face with his hands, and cried bitterly.

The reason she cried was not because the detective had exposed her attempted murder, but because she was simply scared.

Imagine being hung upside down on a roller coaster without any protective gear, traveling at 112 kilometers per hour, more than 20 meters above the ground. The track is riddled with loops and high-speed turns, leaving you at risk of being flung out and smashed to pieces. Even an ordinary, weak woman trying to murder her ex-boyfriend, or even a train-hopping Indian, would be unbearable.

She was not frightened to death, but was just a little confused and had urinary incontinence. Her mental and physical qualities were already better than most people.

"Heh~ Why don't you go and coax her?" Hehuan poked Lin Shangren's arm.

"No way, you can drink this kind of vinegar?" Lin Shangren turned his head and rubbed Hehuan's head with his hand.

"Just teasing you." He Huan straightened her messy hair and said, "Hey, seriously, since the murder case is over and Kudo Shinichi and Gin and the others have no direct contact, then does that mean Conan will never be born?"

"How is that possible? It's not that difficult to get Gin to drug him..."

Before Lin Shangren could finish his words, Kudo Shinichi, who was watching the fun not far away, ran over with Mao Li Ran.

"Mr. Lin, you are here too."

"Oh, it's Kudo." Lin Shangren turned around and forced a kind smile. "This is your girlfriend, right? I'm Kudo's neighbor Lin Shangren, and this is my younger sister Hehuan. Nice to meet you."

"Ah... no... I'm not... I..."

"This girl's name is Mao Lilan, she's just my childhood friend, haha, haha." Kudo Shinichi laughed dryly and then asked, "Mr. Lin, is there something wrong here? Why did the roller coaster suddenly stop running?"

"It seems that there was a problem with the safety lock of the car seat. A female passenger was thrown out of the chair." Lin Shangren replied.

"Ah! The person who was thrown out...?"

"It's okay, he caught her. Look, that's the one squatting there crying." Hehuan pointed to Renmei who was still sobbing. Her best friend was comforting her.

"Was it caught by Mr. Lin?"

"Yeah, I was really scared when she suddenly pounced on me. A dark shadow rushed over and hugged my neck. Fortunately, I hugged her reflexively instead of pushing her away. Otherwise... haha, anyway, it was a close call." Lin Shangren still maintained a kind smile.

"Pounce on me?!" Kudo Shinichi immediately noticed this suspicious point.

Looking at Kudo Shinichi's reaction, Lin Shangren thought to himself: "He really took the bait."

"How could that be?" Kudo Shinichi dropped his chin in thought. "Normally, if the seat safety lock failed, the person would have been thrown backwards by inertia. Even if she happened to bump into Mr. Lin, she should have been riding on him instead of hugging him. Could it be that she deliberately slipped out of the seat? Why?"

"By the way, Kudo, do you recognize this? It looks like a torn pearl necklace. But the string looks like piano wire, and there's a hook on this side."

Lin Shangren handed the murder weapon he had taken from the murderer to Kudo Shinichi. He continued, "It's quite strange. I don't know when it got hung on my back and it damaged a piece of my clothes."

"This is…?"

Kudo Shinichi carefully examined the piano wire with a few pearls on it. After seeing the metal hook at one end and the noose tied with a sailor's knot at the other end, he suddenly realized.

"So that's how it is! Mr. Lin, please lend me this thing first!"

As he said that, Kudo Shinichi rushed towards Renmei who had just been helped to stand up.

"Shinichi! Oh, sorry, I have to leave now." With that, Ran Mouri followed.

Seeing this scene, Lin Shangren and Hehuan smiled at the same time.

"Did he really rush over like that? Was he going to expose that woman's attempted murder?" He Huan asked.

"Obviously," Hayashi Naoto replied, "Kudo Shinichi still uses reasoning as a tool to show off. He enjoys the feeling of using reasoning to corner the criminal like a shark hunting. Therefore, he basically doesn't care about the feelings of the criminals. Although this is very inhumane, it's actually not a bad thing. After all, he stands for the justice called law.

However, his idol, Sherlock Holmes, would not be like this."

"So Shangren doesn't agree with his approach?" Hehuan asked in confusion.

"If I didn't agree, I wouldn't have guided him into this. At least in this case, he did nothing wrong. It's better for this kind of social destabilizer who plans to commit murder over a breakup to be locked up and cool down."

As Hayashi predicted, Kudo Shinichi publicly exposed Hitomi's attempted murder and called the police, summoning his brother, Inspector Megure, a user of the "Shin" fruit, and his elite Investigation Division 1. According to legal procedures, the witnesses to the attempted murder, the passengers on the roller coaster, were required to remain and cooperate with the police investigation.

Hayashi Naoto hadn't yet considered becoming Inspector Megure's younger brother, so while Kudo Shinichi was reasoning, he took Hehuan on a carousel ride. Gin and Vodka, two social destabilizers, of course, forcibly pushed Kudo Shinichi away and left the scene.

The suspicious behavior of Gin and Ran naturally aroused Kudo Shinichi's suspicion, so he followed them alone after saying goodbye to Xiaolan.

Then came the classic scene of "being hit from behind with a club and having his mouth filled with liquid." Under Gin's unsportsmanlike sneak attack, Kudo Shinichi was knocked down by a club and then forced to drink APTX4869, a poison that has rarely killed anyone.

After Gin and Vodka left, Lin Shangren and Hehuan walked out from the shadows.

"How is he? Could he really be dead?" Hehuan squatted down and observed Kudo Shinichi, whose eyes were rolled back and whose breath was weak.

"Still alive." Lin Shangren poked Kudo Shinichi's back with the umbrella sword of the black umbrella, "Look, he's still moving. Look, he's going to start defecating everywhere. Damn, no, he's going to urinate and defecate everywhere! It seems that he was beaten incontinent by Gin."

Lin Shangren covered his nose and protected Hehuan behind him.

At this time, Kudo Shinichi, who was lying on the ground, began to sweat profusely and his body began to shrink gradually, soon shrinking to the size of a six or seven-year-old child.

"Interesting! Another amazing thing that defies the law of conservation of energy."

Lin Shangren opened his hand and took out a red and white capsule from the shadows. This was the one he had just "swiped" from Gin with his shadow.

"It's worth studying. Well, he's almost waking up, and we should go home." Lin Shangren put his arm around Hehuan's shoulders. "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll cook for you myself."

"Hmm...whatever?" He Huan smiled and pecked Lin Shangren on the cheek. "Then let's have braised beef."

……

Dorobigale Tropical Land is located in Nakano Ward, west Tokyo, while Kudo Shinichi's home, Beikacho, is located in Chiyoda Ward, with Shinjuku City separating them. It's hard to imagine how an elementary school student, wearing oversized, ill-fitting clothes and with his trouser pockets pulled up, could have made it all the way across Shinjuku to Beikacho.

Anyway, after being almost hit by a car five times, being almost taken to the police station by enthusiastic taxi drivers three times, and almost dying from exhaustion once, Kudo Shinichi finally escaped back to his doorstep.

Then, a realistic problem was placed before Kudo Shinichi: with his current height, he could not reach the keyhole of the gate.

He had no choice but to ask his neighbor Dr. Agasa for help.

"I really don't want to involve the doctor, but I have no choice but to trouble him now. After all, the drug that can rejuvenate you...drug?"

At this moment, the image of Lin Shangren emerged in his mind, and an absurd idea emerged. Could it be that the Lin brothers and sisters were in the same group as the two men in black?

Kudo Shinichi shook his head, it seemed that his brain was still not clear. He walked to Dr. Agasa's house, and the gate was not closed, so he walked straight to Dr. Agasa's door, jumped up and rang the doorbell.

Then, Kudo Shinichi saw a scene that made his hair stand on end: black clothes, glaring black clothes, the same black clothes worn by the black-clad man who attacked him. The owner of the black clothes also exuded the same cold aura as that man.

"They're here?! They found the Doctor's house!"

Just as Kudo Shinichi's hair stood on end, the man in black squatted down. Only then did he see the face of the man in front of him clearly.

"Lin..." Before he could finish his words, Kudo Shinichi immediately shut his mouth.

"Little boy, who are you looking for?" Lin Shangren smiled kindly but with a hint of deception. "Wait... your clothes? And your face... are you Kudo Shinichi's younger brother?"

"Uh...I...uh..."

Unable to confirm that the man in front of him was trustworthy, Kudo Shinichi could only stammer and wait for Dr. Agasa to come over.

"Brother Shangren, I should be the one coming. You're the guest." Dr. Agasa walked over. "Hey? Who is this kid?"

"Huh? Isn't he Kudo's younger brother?" Lin Shangren asked knowingly.

"How could that be? Yusaku and Yukiko only have one child, Shinichi." Dr. Agasa said with a smile.

"Hiss, that shouldn't be the case. This kid's facial features, especially the bone identification points near his cheekbones and the forehead, all match Kudo's.

"I can vouch for this with my professional knowledge. He and Kudo Shinichi are definitely collateral relatives from the same paternal line, meaning they're brothers from the same father. Honestly, judging by their bone structure alone, if it weren't for the age discrepancy, I'd have mistaken them for identical twins," Lin Shangren said in a serious tone.

"Ah? Brother Shangren, are you sure?" Dr. Agasa showed a strange expression.

"Hi~"

Lin Shangren also pretended to realize it belatedly and took a breath of cold air: "Could it be? He is Kudo Yusaku..."

Dr. Agasa lowered his voice and said, "Illegitimate child?"

"..."

Looking at the two men singing in unison like a manzai partner, Kudo Shinichi felt a little helpless. What is an illegitimate child? He is Kudo Shinichi himself!

However, in order to avoid Hayashi Naoto and tell Dr. Agasa about his current situation alone, Kudo Shinichi had to sacrifice his father's reputation.

"Dr. Agasa, I am Shinichi's younger brother. Shinichi hasn't come home yet, and I forgot to bring the key to the house, so I want to ask you for help." Kudo Shinichi said in a coquettish voice.

"Ah? You really are Shinichi's younger brother. Then Yusaku and Yukiko...this...um...uh." Dr. Agasa was obviously a little confused by this explosive news.

Kudo Shinichi grabbed Dr. Agasa's trouser leg and tried to pull him towards the Kudo residence. Dr. Agasa, still not quite understanding the situation, eventually followed him to the door of the Kudo residence.

Hayashi Shangren did not follow them, but just stood at the door and watched them from a distance. It was obvious that Kudo Shinichi wanted to take Dr. Agasa away alone so that he could reveal his identity to him.

"Haha, illegitimate child, this identity is pretty good." Lin Shangren rubbed the back of his neck. "Sure enough, in Conan's world, you have to tease this kid. A prank of mine shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

What Hayashi Naoto did wasn't really excessive; he simply made Kudo Shinichi walk across Shinjuku and half of Chiyoda with shit in his pants. If he'd gone even further, then forcing Kudo Shinichi to have sex with his girlfriend, sleeping with his mother-in-law, stealing his mother, and seducing his godmother would all be standard. The more brutal ones would even go so far as to target the elementary school girls who liked him, and even reduce him to a effeminate little sissy and subject him to crazy training.

"Forget about little boys and elementary school students. I'm not that perverted. As for my girlfriend and... well, I'm a pure love warrior. But those who haven't officially confessed their love and whose marriages are almost broken up shouldn't be considered awesome, right?" Lin Shangren forced a pleasant smile. "Compared to all that, I really prefer saving lost and helpless little girls. Ah~ Sherry~"

Five minutes later, Dr. Agasa hurried over and apologized to Lin Shangren a little nervously, saying that he had to help deal with the matter of the illegitimate child, and he probably wouldn't be able to continue discussing the issues of artificial intelligence and human strength amplification devices with Lin Shangren today.

Then Lin Shangren enthusiastically asked Dr. Agasa if he needed his help, and after being politely declined, he said goodbye and returned home. Together with Hehuan, he watched the next "plot" using the crystal Sinan.

From the birth of Edogawa Conan to him being brought home by Xiaolan, and then the first case he helped his "former future father-in-law" Mouri Kogoro to solve, the "Kidnapping of the Chairman's Daughter".

I will not go into details about the story of Conan riding a dog under the moon to look for Loli. Let us turn our attention back to Lin Shangren and Hehuan.

They are currently...taking stock of their finances.

Yes, in the dead of night, amidst the beautiful scenery, these two passionate young men and women of marriageable age were engaged in something as mundane as counting money. It stands to reason that a hard-core ruthless man like Lin Shangren, who had saved the universe, invaded the Earth, and secretly controlled the lifeblood of the world, would no longer be interested in material possessions like money.

The problem was that the identity and accompanying wealth provided by this "Devil's Fake Passport" were a bit too outrageous. Lin Shangren had originally thought this so-called "invisible tycoon" was just an ordinary wealthy person. But in reality, he was now a super-rich man with extensive real estate holdings around the world.

Looking at the piles of land deeds and related documents on the table, Lin Shangren couldn't help but wonder if Xiao Ai had just bought the dip when the bubble economy collapsed. Even more outrageous was...

"Twilight Villa, Snow Mountain Villa, Ski Resort, Mountain Villa, Seaside Hotel... Damn, why are they all haunted houses or nearly haunted houses? What am I, a haunted house collector in the Conan world?"

"I think it's quite interesting~" He Huan hugged Lin Shangren's arm, "If we have houses in various places, wouldn't it be more convenient for us to travel around Japan and even around the world?"

"These properties should be in Tokyo. Do you want to go and take a look tomorrow?" Hehuan leaned close to Lin Shangren's ear and said.

Lin Shangren nodded. "Then let's go and take a look. Xiao Ai hasn't sent out any world quests yet. Let's just tour the territory and travel at the same time. This was also my childhood dream."

"Eh? Shangren Xiaomeng?"

"That's... 'Change your home every day, be the bridegroom every night.'"

As he spoke, Lin Shangren hugged Hehuan and pressed her under him...

Chapter 145: Is this the world of Conan's comics?!

The next morning, Lin Shangren’s dream world.

The setting of this dream was set by Lin Shangren as a tavern with a strong western atmosphere.

Lin Shangren stretched lazily at the bar, silently counting down the time until his body would awaken in reality. Beside him was Fululu, dressed in a reverse bunny girl outfit, her face still flushed.

"Let me go out and play sometime. I'm so bored staying in your body all the time." Fululu sat up and hugged Lin Shangren's arm like a spoiled child.

"Hey~ is that okay~"

"Okay, I'll call you out later."

Lin Shangren jumped off the bar, and the surrounding environment turned pure white. "I should wake up. I'll ask you to come out and help me prepare breakfast later."

"Hey, I just served you for one night, how could you bear to leave? You stinky man, you heartless man, humph, then I won't go out."

"It's not up to you."

After leaving these words, Lin Shangren opened his eyes in the real world.

In the dim morning light, Hehuan beside him was still sleeping soundly. Without the disturbance of a certain lizardwoman's morning bite, Hehuan could finally sleep until he woke up naturally.

Lin Shangren raised his hand and pulled open the curtains. Looking out the window at the rising sun, he was puzzled. "This shouldn't be the case. The sun shouldn't be this high at this time, right?"
