Detective Conan: Starting with Yukiko covered in black stockings!

In just a few moves, the hands of the five island nation samurai holding their swords were all severed, and they lay on the ground groaning in pain, clutching their wounds.

"This young man is quite skilled, much better than I was when I was young."

Old Hua praised it sincerely, and subconsciously glanced at the knife in his hand.

My old friend has been out of the game for over a decade; it's time for him to make a comeback.

"You island dog, I remember your tradition: if you lose, you have to commit seppuku. Will you do it yourself, or should I help you?"

Cao Yu pointed at the leading warrior with his blood-stained sword, a half-smile on his face.

thump!

The leading warrior, who had been so arrogant just moments before, suddenly collapsed to his knees, kowtowing repeatedly and begging for mercy.

"Please, have mercy and spare my life! I have an eighty-year-old mother to support and newborn puppies to raise..."

What the hell!

To survive, they're really going to great lengths; they actually admitted to being dogs.

Looking at the warrior with disdain, Cao Yu suddenly felt utterly bored.

The villains' lines are all the same template; they lack any creativity.

“Young man, kill this shameless, weakling with dirty hands, spare his dog’s life.”

Hua Lao glanced disdainfully at the warrior and then looked at Cao Yu and said.

"I'll give Old Hua some face, so you don't have to die. Just leave the hand that's holding the knife and get out of here."

"Remember this: China will always be the grandfather of this island nation. Beating you up is as easy as beating your grandsons. If I hear you spouting nonsense again, even if your fathers, the Americans, come, they won't be able to save your dog lives."

Cao Yu simply wanted to humiliate the troublemaking warriors. If he had truly intended to kill them, he wouldn't have only severed the hands of the other five warriors.

Click!

Seeing that he could live, the leading samurai gritted his teeth and cut off his right arm that was holding the knife, and led his men away from the veterinary clinic in a scramble.

"Mr. Hua, I hope we'll meet again in Tokyo. Farewell!"

Cao Yu clasped his hands in a traditional Jianghu salute, then turned to leave.

"Young man, wait a minute!"

Old Hua called out to Cao Yu, reluctantly handing him the knife with both hands.

"This knife accompanied me to conquer Tianchao Street and hasn't seen blood for more than ten years. I've always wanted to find it a new master so it can continue to fight in the martial world."

"Your swordsmanship is superb, making you the perfect person for the task. I hope you can use it to make a name for yourself in this island nation."

NPC confirmed!

Looking at the precious sword that exuded a chilling aura, Cao Yu became even more certain of Elder Hua's identity.

However, the world of Detective Conan is not a game world. To be precise, his role is similar to that of an NPC in a game, responsible for delivering items and healing wounds.

"Since it is such a kind offer from you, senior, I would be impolite to refuse."

Cao Yu didn't bother to refuse and simply accepted the knife.

Although he can create many weapons with the help of Wolf Brother's cards, some of the divine weapons and artifacts of China cannot be replicated.

Hua Lao's knife was clearly no ordinary item.

Chapter 29: Having a System Means Being Willful

Okinawa, a hotel!

Yukiko felt guilty for not keeping a close eye on Ran Mouri, and she was also anxious because she hadn't received a call from Vermouth yet.

"I hope Shinichi and the others can find the clinic where Ran is soon."

"If Yusaku were here, he would definitely be able to find that hateful bomber based on the slightest clues."

"What if something happens to Ran? How am I supposed to face Shinichi and Eri?"

"..."

Boom boom boom!

A knock on the door interrupted Yukiko's monologue.

crunch--

The door opened, and Yukiko froze on the spot.

"What's wrong with you? I fulfilled my mission and rescued Xiaolan from that hellhole. At the very least, you should say thank you."

Vermouth stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Yukiko's eyes.

"Xiaolan..."

Thank goodness, we're finally back.

Yukiko snapped out of her daze and hugged Ran Mouri with tears in her eyes.

"It's good that you're back. Your father and Conan are assisting the Japanese police in finding the clinic you mentioned."

"You've been wronged, come inside quickly."

"I'm going to tell Conan and the others about this."

Ran Mouri was in low spirits and let Yukiko lead her into the room.

Although she managed to escape, she could never get back what was most precious to her.

Yukiko brought two glasses of warm water and placed them in front of Vermouth and Ran Mouri, then dialed Kogoro Mouri's number.

She originally wanted to inform Conan immediately, but considering his elementary school-aged appearance, she changed her mind at the last minute.

After all, it would be more reasonable for Kogoro Mouri to be notified first that Ran Mouri has returned safely.

"Xiao Lan, do you remember who took you to the clinic? What was the name of that clinic?"

Yukiko hung up the phone and took Ran Mouri's hand to ask her a question.

"I do not remember!"

Ran Mouri lowered her head, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

So what if I remember?

After what happened, she wasn't mentally prepared to confess to anyone, especially since Yukiko was Shinichi Kudo's mother.

"Did that guy do anything to you? Did you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

has a problem!

Seeing Ran Mouri looking listless and preoccupied, Yukiko realized she was lying.

Having been missing for nearly twenty hours, and having been taken away by lawless bombers, it is entirely reasonable that they would inevitably be threatened, beaten, or even subjected to more serious violence.

"Yukiko, Ran has just recovered from a serious illness. Let her rest for a while. You can ask her any questions later."

Vermouth, her eyes filled with heartache, came to Ran's rescue.

That damned Cao Yu, he hurt her angel.

If it weren't for my injuries...

"Once I'm healed, I'll settle the score with that guy and squeeze every last drop of juice out of him until he can't even lift his head when he sees a beautiful woman with long legs in black stockings."

Vermouth muttered to herself, gritting her teeth as she secretly swore an oath.

She blamed herself for being injured and out of sorts, which led to her carelessness in losing to Cao Yu's staff and causing Ran Mouri to suffer as a result.

"Alright, Xiaolan, go and rest in bed first."

"Chris, I'm afraid it will take up a little of your time. Kogoro Mouri said on the phone that the Japanese police want to come to the hotel with him to question you and Ran."

"They probably hope to get useful clues from you to help track down the bomber and the silver-haired devil."

Yukiko left Vermouth behind, feeling apologetic.

Twenty minutes later!

Kogoro Mouri arrived at the hotel with Jodie and two Japanese police officers.

During the questioning, Vermouth and Ran Mouri worked together, only saying that Cao Yu's residence was in a veterinary clinic, and refusing to talk about anything else.

……

A detached villa in the suburbs.

In the bedroom on the second floor, a man with a pointed face and monkey-like features, wearing a bathrobe, was lying on the bed making a phone call.

“Ms. Hirota, it’s not that I’m breaking my promise, but the organization has already set its sights on me. If I don’t run away soon, I’ll lose my life here.”

"Refund? You're dreaming. Although I don't lack a billion yen, once 39% of the money is in my pocket, there's no reason for me to take it out again. I'm very sorry about your sister's situation."

"When you leave is none of your business. If you'd like to try some egg sausage, I might consider telling you."

"We're all civilized people, why get angry? I wish you a speedy rescue of your genius scientist sister, bye-bye."

In the face of death, what does chivalry and honor mean?

The man's name was Carlos, a well-known figure in the Monkey Kingdom's underworld, who had long been engaged in illegal transactions with the distillery.

Because he was a long-time customer, Gin made an exception and granted him access to certain areas of the base.

Little did Carlos know that he would do something so reckless, not only stealing the distillery's secrets but also secretly taking on a side job.

He accepted a 1 billion yen "hardship fee" from a woman surnamed Hirota and absconded with a key chemist.

Two hours earlier, his bodyguard noticed that a man in black was following him and was carrying a camera.

Ruthless people who live by the sword always have a strong sense of crisis.

Realizing that his plan to steal the distillery's secrets and abduct the chemist has been exposed, Carlos must leave Okinawa as soon as possible.

I can give up the villa, but I must save my life.

"With over thirty well-paid bodyguards protecting me, what can the organization do to me as long as I stay in my room?"

With a confident smile, Carlos tossed his phone into a glass of water.

"I should be happy to have earned an extra billion yen, but as darkness fell and I boarded the plane, I realized that I might never set foot on the island again in my lifetime. Why do I feel inexplicably lost when I think about this?"

"It's still early, let's be extravagant one last time before we leave."

clap clap clap!

Carlos clapped his hands three times, and two scantily clad women entered the bedroom.

To avoid any regrets, he wanted to use the remaining time to fully savor the abalone from the island nation.

Right now, outside the villa!

Cao Yu slowly walked towards the iron gate, his mind echoing with the words Old Hua had spoken to him when he left the veterinary clinic.

"Among assassins in the world, skill determines rank."

"Third-rate assassins resort to underhanded tactics and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals."

"Second-rate assassins rely on skill, but real men should engage in one-on-one duels."

"Top-tier assassins are all about showcasing their skills; while killing their targets, they also emphasize graceful and pleasing movements."

Either don't do it, or do it to the best of your ability.

In the world of Detective Conan, Gin is always either with the Gamans or on their way, making him the de facto leader of the Gamans' squad, much like an assassin from ancient times.

Although the ultimate goal is to eliminate the target, an assassin's skill level is determined by their ability.

Cao Yu's pursuit can be summed up in just four words: being handsome is all that matters!

Men with a system can be so capricious.

"Stop right there! You've crossed the line!"

“Mr. Carlos has instructed that no one is allowed to step within one meter of the iron gate. If you take another step forward, don’t blame us for not giving you a chance to leave.”

The sudden sound interrupted Cao Yu's words.

Two bodyguards in suits were staring coldly at him through the iron gate.

"Please don't misunderstand, gentlemen. I just wanted to ask if you know this person. The organization sent me to take his head. If the address is correct, it should be here."
