Detective Conan: Starting with Yukiko covered in black stockings!

He didn't come here to disrupt Conan's investigation; on the contrary, he was willing to provide assistance if necessary.

After all, in Cao Yu's plan, Conan, who was highly trusted by the police, was the best witness to Miyano Akemi's death.

"Officer Megure..."

"How did it go, Takagi-kun?"

Megure turned to the side, looked at Takagi who was rushing over, and asked impatiently.

"We received a report that a vehicle that looks very much like the one the criminals used to escape has been found."

"What? Where's the car?"

Inspector Megure was quite excited, wishing he could teleport to the scene instantly.

"The car is on the bank of the Difen River, next to the railway bridge in TR County."

Takagi took out his notebook and gave a methodical report.

Upon hearing the news, Conan, with his short legs, tried to sneak away, but was grabbed by Cao Yu at the corner.

"What are you going to do?"

"A fabricated name based on mystery novelists Edogawa Ranpo and Arthur Conan Doyle. It may fool others, but it can't escape my eyes. High school detective Shinichi Kudo!"

Cao Yu smiled slightly and directly revealed Conan's identity.

what?

Conan's pupils constricted as a sense of fear welled up inside him.

Seeing his overreaction, Cao Yu felt even more refreshed than eating an ice-cold watermelon on a hot day.

You little brat, I'll scare you to death!

"You're dressed in black..."

"My identity is not important. I'm curious if you deserve the title of a famous detective? The focus of the robbery is not the vehicle. Keeping an eye on the guard might be more important. He might become a corpse tonight."

After Cao Yu finished speaking, he left directly, leaving Conan standing there dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, on the other side!

"Okay, I'll be there right away!"

"Brother Mori, you should come too!"

Before leaving, Inspector Megure made sure to invite Kogoro Mouri.

The NPCs who boost performance must be brought along.

"no problem!"

"Ran, you should take Conan back with you first."

Full of energy, Kogoro Mouri gave Ran a few instructions and then left with Inspector Megure.

"Conan, we need to go back!"

"Conan, Conan..."

"Where has that kid run off to again?"

Ran Mouri looked around but couldn't see Conan. Frustrated, she put her hands on her hips.

“Beautiful lady, you don’t need to worry. Conan is safe. He will go home with Mr. Mori.”

Cao Yu walked up to Ran Mouri, took her hand, and kissed the back of her hand.

“Mr. Edgar…”

Ran Mouri was quite surprised, and her face flushed.

The kiss on the hand was invented by the Vikings and later became a popular traditional social etiquette in Europe. It is mainly used by men to express respect or reverence to married women.

Ran Mouri is not married, so it seems inappropriate for her to kiss someone's hand as a gesture of respect.

But in Cao Yu's eyes, she was already a married woman.

"Miss, we will meet again!"

17 Cao Yu left behind a sentence, then turned and left gracefully.

It's him!

Ran Mouri suddenly came to her senses and recognized Cao Yu by the familiar voice.

"I'm going to call my dad and Inspector Megure..."

"Do we really have to do that?"

The moment her finger touched the phone's buttons, Ran Mouri hesitated for a moment.

Watching Cao Yu's disappearing figure quietly, she finally put her phone away silently.

……

An abandoned warehouse in the suburbs of Beika Town.

Cao Yu stood on the rooftop, waiting for Miyano Akemi to arrive.

The distillery's mission this time was to retrieve one billion yen and then kill them to cover it up.

"I want the person, and I want the money too!"

After a long while, Cao Yu made his final decision.

According to the original plan, he intended to rescue Miyano Akemi and then take the billion yen she had stolen to the brewery to report back.

Upon further reflection, I realized that this deal wasn't worthwhile.

That's a billion yen. Even though it's in Japanese yen, it's still about fifty million Chinese yuan. Giving it all away to the distillery just like that made Cao Yu feel more and more heartbroken.

It would be better to do it like in the original story, get a fake key to complete the task, and then pin the blame on the soon-to-disappear Akemi Miyano.

After rescuing Shiho Miyano, the research on the drug would require a lot of funding, and Cao Yu found even less reason to hand over 1 billion yen to the brewery.

Paying money to buy the protection of the brewery?

He doesn't care!

Chapter 56 The Perfect Plan, Triggering Conan's Inner Demon

The sunset is infinitely good, but it is only near dusk!

Having shed his disguise, Cao Yu counted on his fingers, calculating that the time was about right.

Soon, Akemi Miyano's car came into his view.

call!.

Cao Yu leaped and landed steadily on the ground, entering the warehouse ahead of time.

呲——

After a while, the sound of brakes was heard.

"I am coming!"

"Congratulations, you are about to embark on a new life."

"What do you mean?"

Akemi Miyano stared at Cao Yu, her expression a mixture of suspicion and wariness.

When gangsters utter words like "new life," it usually means death.

Is it...

You should recognize this, right?

Cao Yu opened a small wooden box and took out the red capsule that Vodka had given him earlier.

APTX4869!

Akemi Miyano could not possibly be unfamiliar with the mysterious drug that the Miyano couple researched during their lifetime.

Now, thanks to Shiho Miyano's improvements, it has become a poison that kills without leaving a trace.

"Are you going to regret it?"

"If you do that, you'll never get that billion yen."

Shiho Miyano's pupils contracted slightly, and she reached for the gun hidden at her waist, ready to retaliate at any moment.

"Don't be nervous. I don't want your life, and I don't plan to hand over that billion yen to the organization. It's safer to keep it in your hands for now."

"But if you want to escape the organization's pursuit, you must swallow this pill."

Based on Cao Yu's understanding of the Detective Conan storyline, APTX4869 is indeed a poison, and in the original story, most of the test subjects died.

However, since Shinichi Kudo was given APTX4869 by Gin and his body shrunk to become Conan, no one else has died after taking it.

First there was Mary Akai, then Shiho Miyano; apart from their bodies shrinking, their memories, knowledge, skills, and so on remained completely unaffected.

Cao Yu speculated that there were two possibilities: either Shiho Miyano made a major breakthrough in improving APTX4869, or APTX4869's ability to shrink people was related to bloodline.

In contrast, he prefers the second possibility.

After all, in the original storyline, among the three people who survived taking APTX4869, Mary Akai and Shimizu Miyano are related by blood, while Conan is most likely relying on the protagonist's halo.

"A treacherous person who breaks his word, with poison in hand and sweet words in hand, pretends to be a gentleman with a mouth full of benevolence."

"If you don't hand over Shiho today, I'll take you to hell with me, even if it means we both die."

Kaka!

Miyano Akemi mistakenly believed she had been deceived and, in a fit of anger, drew her pistol and released the safety.

"Time is of the essence, I'm sorry!"

Cao Yu didn't bother to explain. He activated his Bio-Demon skill, unexpectedly extending his arm to snatch Miyano Akemi's pistol and pulling her in front of him.

In the original Detective Conan storyline, Conan will soon follow the tracker attached to Akemi Miyano's shoe to the warehouse, and Cao Yu must complete the final setup before he arrives.

"Strange……"

As Miyano Akemi struggled and opened her mouth, Cao Yu seized the opportunity to force-feed her the APTX4869 capsule.

The capsule took effect the next second.

"what--"

Akemi Miyano screamed and then fainted, her body shrinking at a visible speed.

"I'll go all the way with this performance, so I'll borrow your clothes!"

Cao Yu picked up Shiho Miyano, who had turned into a child, threw her into the back seat of the car, and quickly stripped her naked.

Immediately afterwards, they brought out the prepared corpse and put Miyano Akemi's clothes on it.

"Perfect!"

Cao Yu admired his work, picked up the pistol from the ground, and waited quietly for Conan to arrive.

……

the other side!

As in the original storyline, after some trouble, Conan discovered that Akemi Miyano was the mastermind behind the armored truck robbery and followed the tracking device to the vicinity of the abandoned warehouse.

When he heard Akemi Miyano's scream, his heart tightened.

"Oops!"

Conan gave a silent shout and stepped on the accelerator of his skateboard to increase his speed.

When he arrived at the abandoned warehouse, he saw Cao Yu holding a pistol, pointing it at Miyano Akemi's head.

"stop!"

"Young detective, you're too late. You watched helplessly as the suspect died right before your eyes, and you couldn't do anything about it. You must be feeling terrible!"

After Cao Yu finished speaking, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

boom!

The gunshot jolted Conan's nerves, his pupils dilated rapidly, and he stared in disbelief at the scene before him.
