Detective Conan: Developing a younger version of Ran Eri, and the stunning Yukiko.

……

Time flew by and it was already morning. Yukiko seemed to have adapted to Shiraishihara. At this moment, she no longer felt uncomfortable and was filled with joy.

Early in the morning, Shiraishihara and Yukiko openly showed their affection in front of Conan, whose face instantly turned ashen.

Although Conan has accepted this reality, he still feels a pang of sadness every time he sees Shiraishihara and Yukiko so inseparable.

Professor Agasa was extremely envious and jealous of Shiraishihara. When would this old bachelor finally find his own haven of romance?

427

Back in Tokyo, Shiraishihara was driving. Although Shiraishihara had not yet obtained his driver's license, Yukiko was clearly no longer able to drive normally. Weighing the pros and cons, it was more appropriate for Shiraishihara to drive.

"Yukiko-neechan, what happened to you? You look so weak."

Yukiko lay sprawled on the back seat, her energy inevitably depleted after all that commotion.

"Ai, this kind of thing is very energy-consuming... Even if you want to enjoy it, don't try it lightly."

"what?"

Ai looked shocked, clearly taken aback. What on earth had happened? Although she was a genius female scientist, she was still simple-minded.

"What's worse is that once you get addicted to it, it can cause serious problems..."

If you don't take care of your health when you're young, you'll have to go to the hospital frequently when you get older, and your quality of life will decline significantly. To prevent this from happening, Yukiko felt she needed to exercise restraint. She couldn't just pursue momentary pleasure at the expense of everything else.

"Yukiko-neechan, please stop talking. I understand. If anyone dares to do this to me, I will not let them off easily."

Upon hearing Ai Haibara's words, Yukiko felt ashamed of herself. Unbeknownst to her, she had fallen so low that even she herself could hardly believe it.

……

Back in Tokyo, the holiday continued. However, Yukiko needed to rest and recuperate at home during this time, so Shiraishihara stopped bothering her and stayed home playing mobile games.

One morning, Shiraishihara was at home playing mobile games as usual, quietly being a handsome man...

Just then, he received a phone call from Ran Mouri.

On the other end of the phone, Ran Mouri sounded extremely flustered.

"Yuan-kun...where are you? I feel so bad right now." Ran Mouri's voice on the phone sounded tired, and her depressed mood was clearly palpable.

"I'm at home, what happened?" Shiraishihara asked hurriedly.

After a few seconds of silence, the girl's soft voice slowly came through: "Actually, my mother is in the hospital right now..."

"Hospitalized?" Shiraishi's heart tightened. "Is he feeling unwell?"

“No.” Ran Mouri took a deep breath and said softly, “...It’s like this, someone gave me a box of chocolates this morning, and Mom thought it was from Dad, so she ate it.”

At this point, Ran Mouri's voice became more angry: "But who could have imagined that the chocolate was poisoned, and there was even a Queen of Spades in the chocolate box... Mom was just out of the emergency room two hours ago and is resting now."

"Poisoning?" Shiraishi Hara gripped his phone slightly. "I understand, Ran. Don't worry, I'll come find you right away."

"Mmm." Ran Mouri felt sorry for her mother and was extremely sad. She desperately needed Shiraishihara's company at that moment.

After hanging up the phone, Shiraishihara's face gradually darkened. He naturally remembered Eri Kisaki's poisoning vividly; however, the timeline in the Conan world was chaotic and disordered, and events occurred without any discernible pattern, making it impossible for him to prevent them in advance.

"If I had known, I should have had Ran (agab) persuade her parents to divorce, so that Eri wouldn't have had to eat poisoned chocolate because of Kogoro Mouri."

To be honest, Eri Kisaki is far too naive when it comes to relationships. Every time Ran tries to reunite her parents, Eri cooperates, but Kogoro Mouri always stirs up trouble, deliberately making Eri angry and driving her away.

In the Eri Kisaki poisoning incident, Kogoro Mouri did something utterly shameless, actually going to see the madam in front of Eri. (Married people can imagine this: going to see a madam in front of your wife—divorce would be the least of your worries; someone with a short temper might even resort to violence.) The fact that Eri could tolerate this makes one wonder if Gosho Aoyama implanted some kind of mental imprint in her mind.

Yusaku Kudo openly cheats on his wife, and Kogoro Mouri openly seeks out a madam; Japanese men are all incredibly "capable."

"Eri Kisaki is such a foolish woman. I can't let Kogoro Mouri hurt her anymore!"

Shiraishi regretted not separating the Mori couple sooner, blaming herself for believing the saying, "Better to tear down a bridge than break up a marriage." It's unbelievable how dark-hearted someone must be to come up with such a statement. Two people who don't love each other are simply torturing each other; the sooner they separate, the better.

"How dare you hurt my beautiful mother-in-law! You murderer, I will never forgive you!"

Shiraishi took out his phone and asked Inspector Megure for information.

At this moment, Inspector Megure was also lying in a hospital bed. He had also been attacked by an unidentified person, and playing cards had also appeared at the scene, except that it was a King.

Apart from that, Shiraishihara did not get any more useful information from Inspector Megure; the Metropolitan Police Department remained as unreliable as ever.

However, the news of Inspector Megure's attack was enough for Shiraishi Hara.

The perpetrator appears to have launched the attacks in the order of the King, Queen, and Aces in playing cards, and all the victims were connected to Kogoro Mouri. Inspector Megure's name is Juzo Megure, which contains the number "thirteen," so the playing card left at the scene was the King. Eri Kisaki's name, "Kiri," represents the Queen, corresponding to the Queen in playing cards.

"So... his next target will be Professor Agasa?"

Shiraishihara immediately set off for Professor Agasa's house, and soon arrived at the front door.

The surroundings were quiet and peaceful. The door to Professor Agasa's house was tightly closed, indicating that the culprit had not yet arrived.

Shiraishihara leaned expressionlessly against a roadside tree, waiting to ambush his prey.

After waiting patiently for a while, the roar of a motorcycle engine came from ahead.

In Shiraishihara's line of sight, a black off-road motorcycle sped towards him. Although the rider was wearing a helmet and his face was not visible, Shiraishihara instinctively knew that this person was the murderer.

Shiraishi Hara activated the persona of the Great Monk, practiced the Four Dhyanas and Eight Samadhis, entered a meditative state, and his mind became increasingly sharp, making him suitable for action.

Chapter 194

Just as the off-road motorcycle was charging towards him, Shiraishihara swiftly used his supernatural abilities. A fire hydrant by the roadside flew up out of thin air and smashed into the motorcyclist with lightning speed.

With a loud bang, the motorcycle and its rider flew forward, tumbling several times on the ground before coming to a stop, kicking up clouds of dust that drifted through the air.

The motorcycle's tires were still spinning rapidly, and the once brand-new exterior was now covered with shocking cracks. The rearview mirror and the rider's shoes were nowhere to be seen, and the mirror lens was also missing, leaving the ground behind them covered with tiny shards of glass.

The rider was coughing up blood and struggling to get up, supporting himself on the ground.

This sudden turn of events caught the rider completely off guard; he hadn't even figured out what had happened.

He heard someone muttering behind him, followed by footsteps getting closer and closer. Before he could even react, Shiraishihara ripped off his helmet, revealing his pained and contorted face.

The rider was struck by a fire hydrant flying at high speed, his internal organs bleeding profusely. He felt he was about to die and instinctively pleaded with the young man in front of him, "Help, help me..."

Shiraishi faced the rider, a slow smile creeping onto his lips. The rider was certain that this was the most sinister smile he had ever seen in his life.

"Tell me, what is your name?"

The rider answered with difficulty, "I... my name is Ze Mu Gong Ping... please help me... call an ambulance..." At this moment, Ze Mu Gong Ping didn't care who the person in front of him was. He only had one thought in his mind: if he didn't get treatment quickly, he would really lose his life.

In front of Sawaki Kohei, Shiraishi Hara pulled out a business card and a watercolor pen from his pocket and wrote furiously on the business card: "Sawaki Kohei, how dare you lay a hand on my beautiful mother-in-law! I will make you suffer hellish torment before you die!"

After finishing writing, Shiraishi Hara casually tossed the business card aside and then stepped into the palace of his mind.

Sawaki Kohei's mental palace is presented as a winery, but it is now dilapidated and decaying, just like Sawaki Kohei's current miserable state.

Shiraishi was astonished to discover that the demon in the mental palace was actually the "Black-Haired Witch." The reason for this astonishment was that the "Black-Haired Witch" was the leader of a cult currently existing in Japan, and by some calculation, she should have just been released from prison not long ago.

"Since that's the case, I won't bother with stealing minds this time; I'll just destroy it directly!"

Just then, a system notification sounded in Shiraishihara's mind: "Warning to the host: If the host completely kills the demon in the Mind Palace, no reward will be obtained."

"No reward is no reward. I don't even care about such a small reward."

As the master of the mental palace, Ze Mugong also realized that the young man in front of him was the culprit who had caused him such a serious injury.

"I have no grudge against you, why did you kill me?"

"You hurt my beautiful mother-in-law, so you must pay a heavy price."

Shiraishi Hara donned the "Ōkuninushi" persona mask, wielding the "Ten-Fist Sword," and pointed it mercilessly at Sawaki Kohei.

Seeing the aggressive demeanor of his opponent, Ze Muping knew he had no chance of winning and dared not confront him directly.

"It's a misunderstanding. I don't know your mother-in-law at all. You must have mistaken her for someone else."

“Eri Kisaki.” Shiraishihara uttered these three words, and Sawaki Kohei instantly understood the reason.

Sawaki Kohei quickly begged for mercy: "It really is a misunderstanding... I never intended to kill Eri Kisaki. I just wanted to use poison to confuse the police. The poison Eri Kisaki was given won't be fatal. She can be saved as long as she is taken to the hospital in time."

Shiraishihara said coldly, "So... you admit it?"

Ze Muping quickly responded, "Yes, I admit it. I know I was wrong. Please let me go. I will turn myself in to the police and explain everything clearly."

Shiraishi remained unmoved: "It's too late."

Ze Mu Gongping added, "One should be lenient when possible. Isn't it enough for me to kowtow and apologize to you?"

With that, Sawaki Kohei knelt down on both knees before Shiraishihara with a "plop" and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "I'm sorry!"

"I told you long ago, nothing you do will make a difference."

Ze Mu Gong Ping was enraged: "I've already apologized, what more do you want?"

"I'm going to give you a taste of what hell is like."

Shiraishi Hara, wielding the Totsuka Sword, suddenly slashed at Sawaki Kohei.

Ze Muping naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his death, so he quickly merged with the black-haired witch.

After merging, Sawaki Kohei became a genderless, LGBTQ+-like monster.

"I'll fight you!"

Sawaki Kohei, now transformed into a monster, roared and lunged at Shiraishihara, engaging in a fierce battle with him.

However, how could Sawaki Kohei be a match for Shiraishihara, who was furious to the extreme?

Shiraishi Hara easily defeated Sawaki Kohei. He grabbed Sawaki Kohei's long black hair, which had turned into a monster, and stabbed Sawaki Kohei's heart again and again with his sword.

At the same time, Shiraishihara activated the healing ability of the "Talia" persona, causing Sawaki Kohei to constantly teeter between life and death, experiencing the excruciating pain of his heart being pierced again and again.

"Stop...stop...just kill me already..."

Blood streamed from Ze Muping's mouth; the pain nearly drove him to the brink of madness, and at that moment, his only desire was death.

"I told you long ago... I'd let you taste the flavors of hell ahead of time."

Shiraishi tirelessly repeated the cycle of "piercing" and "healing." Because this place was Sawaki Kohei's mental palace, as long as the rules of the mental palace were followed, Sawaki Kohei could only endure the pain of being pierced by a sharp sword, unable to die even if he wanted to.

.... .. ....

Sawaki Kohei felt utterly wronged, having inadvertently provoked someone he shouldn't have. Unfortunately, it was all too late; he could only reap what he sowed.

The black-haired witch possessing Sawaki Kohei couldn't bear the pain any longer and took the initiative to separate from him. After all, even a demon could hardly endure the pain of a sword piercing its heart.

As soon as the black-haired witch left Sawaki Kohei, the palace began to collapse violently. But Shiraishi Hara had no intention of letting the black-haired witch go. Even though the palace was about to collapse, he did not leave. Instead, he reached out and grabbed the black-haired witch's hair, who was trying to escape, and forcibly pulled her back.

Even the black-haired witch couldn't help but feel fear when facing Shiraishihara, whose face was full of murderous intent.

"I'm willing to be your persona, that's enough, stop it now."

"Who would want a useless piece of trash like you? You wicked cult leader, Japanese law may let you go, but I will not!"

Shiraishi Hara, wielding the Totsuka Sword, swiftly beheaded the black-haired witch with a single stroke.

Meanwhile, the black-haired witch, the cult leader who had served twenty years in prison and had been out for over a year, was leisurely playing golf on the grass.

She raised her golf club high, swung it powerfully, and the golf ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, hitting a beautiful shot.

Upon seeing this, the believers cheered loudly.

Chapter 195

But then, the black-haired witch suddenly went silent.

The followers were very puzzled and gathered around to check on their leader. Upon closer inspection, they were horrified to see that the black-haired witch had broken her neck while swinging her golf club.

"Oh no? How did the cult leader accidentally break her neck? Quickly call an ambulance."

"It's too late..."

"How could this happen..."
