Detective Conan: A Dream Come True, Ran is Startled

Don't let these unhealthy things poison you!

Astringent is not good.

It's astringent and unhealthy.

Being frivolous can make people act weird!

Yukiko repeatedly reminded herself of this.

She looked down and, unsurprisingly, realized she had to change her pants again.

Fortunately, I've been drinking a lot of water lately.

Otherwise, I would have collapsed from dehydration in the past two days.

She looked around and, seeing that Conan wasn't there, quickly got up, grabbed her clothes, and ran into the bathroom.

"Ugh, I should have brought more clothes." Yukiko muttered as she took off her clothes and started hand-washing them.

After washing the clothes, she took a shower.

After changing into clean clothes and hanging them out to dry, Yukiko ran into Conan returning home.

"Mom, you're awake? I was just thinking of waking you up for dinner... Hmm?" Conan said, noticing Yukiko's clothes were off, and asked, "Why did you change your clothes again?"

"It's too hot here. There's no air conditioning, just a fan. I'm covered in sweat after sleeping, so I changed rooms," Yukiko said, making up an excuse.

"Is it hot? The window is near the sea, and the sea breeze is blowing... I actually feel a bit chilly," Conan muttered to himself, puzzled.

"What do you boys know about girls' affairs?" Yukiko directly played the gender card, instantly defeating Conan.

“…………That’s true.” Conan scratched his head, unable to refute.

He decisively gave up on continuing the conversation on this topic and said, "Let's hurry downstairs, Detective Lin is still waiting in the restaurant."

"What Detective Lin? From now on, you have to call him Master!" Yukiko reminded him as she went downstairs.

"Mom, can't we talk about it some more?" Conan said, still looking conflicted.

"I'll give you a third option, do you want it?" Yukiko gave Conan a half-smile.

"What choice?" Conan's eyes lit up, and he asked repeatedly.

"If you cut your allowance by 70%, then I won't force you," Yukiko stated the specifics.

“…………” Conan fell silent instantly.

Cut your allowance by 70%?

With that little money left, it's impossible to even go out and have fun in a high-cost city like Tokyo.

I have to think twice before buying a newly published mystery novel, wondering if it's worth the money!

"That's...too ruthless. How about...cutting it down by 30%?" Conan tried to bargain.

"Aren't you very good at deduction?" Yukiko chuckled. "Why don't you use your deduction skills to make money? Just take on a few cases and you'll have some money, right?"

“…” Conan looked utterly exasperated.

He does enjoy deduction, that's true, but if he uses deduction for survival, then it loses its flavor.

Besides... he never charges for cases; he only considers whether a case is worth his interest!

Putting aside everything else, let's just talk about assisting the police in solving cases.

0 ···Requesting flowers··· ········

If Inspector Megure really wanted to charge money, he could have just deleted his phone number.

Although it is cruel, this is the reality.

The police don't have the extra funds to hire detectives to solve cases; at most, they can give you a certificate of honor.

Being a detective doesn't make money, otherwise his father wouldn't have gone on to write mystery novels!

"Not going to say anything now, huh?" Yukiko snorted, tapped Conan on the head, and said, "Then when you see Mr. Hayashi later, you'd better call him 'Master' respectfully!"

“I understand…” Conan hung his head dejectedly, his face full of displeasure.

After leaving the hotel and arriving at a nearby restaurant, Yukiko led Conan to sit down opposite Lin Jin.

"Mr. Lin, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting... I accidentally overslept." Yukiko was a little hesitant to look him in the eye.

... ...... 0

"It's nothing, I just woke up too," Lin Jin said, feeling refreshed.

"Conan, hurry up and call for help." Yukiko glanced at the child next to her.

"Master...Master," Conan called out reluctantly.

"It seems Conan isn't too willing," Lin Jin said, noticing Conan's demeanor, clearly indicating he was being forced into it.

He immediately said, "In that case, let's put the matter of becoming an apprentice on hold for a while."

"Let Conan stay with me for a while. If he still doesn't want to, then forget it!"

"Well... alright." Yukiko knew that forcing things wouldn't bring happiness, so she let it go.

Conan's face lit up with joy; he hadn't expected things to take such a turn for the better!

While the three were having dinner, they overheard some guests talking nearby:

"Have you heard? Nishimoto is dead."

"Huh? How did he die? A revenge killing?"

"No, it's said that he suddenly died at home."

"It's normal for him to die! He was using drugs every day, he was bound to die sooner or later!"

"........."

Listening to the discussion among the surrounding guests, Conan immediately looked at Lin Jin and said, "Detective Lin, should we go take a look later?"

"I went to check, but it's been cordoned off, and we can't get in," Lin Jin said while eating dinner.

"I see..." Seeing this, Conan had no choice but to abandon his idea and continue eating.

Chapter 63 Conan's Amazement (3rd Update)

After dinner, Lin Jin said goodbye to Conan and Yukiko.

He returned to the dock and came back to Alexander's flybridge yacht.

After unlocking the cabin door with the key, Lin stepped inside, took out an equipment bag, and began rummaging through it.

In Alex's dream, the other party used these devices to successfully infiltrate the villa.

"Wow, that's really professional..." Lin Jin had to admit that he was still quite rough around the edges in this area.

Now that he has these devices, he plans to study them.

After all, the trading time is 2 a.m., and there's still plenty of time.

Just to kill some time.

Following the way Yali used the device in his dream, Lin Jin quickly understood its purpose.

These are all "690" devices designed for killers who aren't very tech-savvy; they're basically user-friendly and not too complicated to operate.

If someone were truly skilled in cyber hacking, they would have become a hacker long ago. Why would they risk their life to become an assassin?

Wouldn't it be better to sit comfortably in an office and be in charge of network intrusion?

After spending a few hours studying, Lin Jin quickly mastered them.

"I wonder how much this batch of equipment will cost!" he muttered, stuffing all the equipment into his backpack.

I checked the time; it's about time to leave.

Lin Jin took out the black night suit that Alex had customized. It was so light and comfortable to wear that it felt like he wasn't wearing anything at all.

In addition, the face mask is very breathable and does not affect breathing.

This made him realize that professionals are indeed different; they have prepared everything so thoroughly.

Unlike me, a greenhorn with no equipment, I came here with just a backpack, which is simply ridiculous.

Fortunately, I acted quickly and killed Alex before he died.

Otherwise, the other party will definitely laugh at me for being a country bumpkin.

After tidying up, Lin Jin slung his backpack over his shoulder, locked the door, and left for the seaside villa.

Thirty minutes later, Lin Jin stopped about 500 meters away from the seaside villa.

He took out his infrared night vision device, switched to thermal imaging mode, and easily spotted the patrol personnel at the seaside villa. They were betrayed by the heat emanating from their bodies.

Lin Jin clicked his tongue and said, "No wonder the organization is so confident in sending two official members to destroy the drug cartel and its suppliers... With this thing, it's like having X-ray vision. It's like a dimensional reduction attack. Beating them up is as easy as beating up a son!"

As he continued to observe the situation at the seaside villa, he suddenly spotted two familiar figures coming into view.

One big and one small.

Needless to say, these two people are Yukiko and Conan.

"Huh? What are they doing here?" Lin Jin was quite surprised. He put away the infrared binoculars and put on the night vision goggles. The visibility was instantly no different from daytime.

He quickly stepped forward and soon arrived behind Conan and Yukiko, covering their mouths with his hand.

"Waaaaah!!!" Conan and Yukiko were instantly terrified, their bodies stiffening with fear.

Fortunately, Lin Jin whispered, "What are you two doing here?" which relieved them.

As soon as Lin Jin let go, Yukiko turned around and said, "A murder occurred at the memorial service. Village Chief Kuroiwa is dead... Conan said he was worried something had changed, so he came here to check."

"That's it... Detective Lin, what are all these pieces of equipment you're wearing?" Conan nodded, quite curious about Lin Jin's gear.

"Oh, these are some professional equipment that a friend gave me," Lin Jin said, taking off the night vision goggles and handing them to Conan.

He just wanted something new.

It's inconvenient to carry it when diving, and it has many problems. It can't be exposed to light, otherwise it will easily burn out.

Conan took the goggles and instantly discovered a whole new world, exclaiming, "These are night vision goggles!! They're so clear!"

Upon hearing this, Yukiko immediately became curious: "Let me see."

Conan handed the night vision goggles to Yukiko, who took them and was immediately amazed.

Lin Jin took out an infrared telescope and a walkie-talkie and handed them to Conan, saying, "Since you're here, then help me out. Conan, you stay here and give me directions."

"Okay!" Conan happily took the infrared binoculars and walkie-talkie...

He used his infrared binoculars and immediately noticed that there were quite a few patrol personnel around the villa.

He became even more certain that something was wrong here!

Lin Jin put down his backpack and only took his gun and bullets.

Seeing this, Yukiko couldn't help but remind him, "Be careful."

"Don't worry! This is nothing to me." Lin Jin chuckled as he put on his headphones, patted Conan on the shoulder, and then lowered his body and moved forward slowly.

"It's starting... I'm a little nervous." Conan licked his lips excitedly.

He discovered that doing this kind of thing was much more exciting than solving crimes!

"Pay attention, and remember to report back to Mr. Lin," Yukiko reminded him.

"Okay... Mr. Lin, someone's coming from your left. Trust me." Conan pressed the intercom and began to report the situation.

Actually, Lin Jin had already noticed it even without Conan pointing it out.

He did this simply to make the other person feel more involved and willingly become his servant... no, his apprentice.

Because he had to wait for the suppliers to appear so that they could be taken down in one fell swoop, Lin Jin could only avoid the patrolling men and quietly approach the villa's wall.

Upon seeing this from a distance, Yukiko said worriedly, "This wall is quite high, about three meters... How will Mr. Hayashi get up there?"

"Probably using some kind of 3.8 climbing equipment... Holy crap? He just took a running start and got up there?" Before Conan could finish speaking, he saw Lin Jin take a running start, push off the wall a few times, and get up there.

The movements were so smooth and fluid, without any hesitation, that they completely surprised him!

Now, Conan finally understands why kung fu is forbidden in mystery novels.
