Conan: I've been linked to the tech tree system.

"I told you all long ago that this kind of trick to fool children is completely pointless." Hakuba Saguru took out a handkerchief to wipe the ketchup he had used to fake blood off his body.

"If you have any complaints, go talk to that younger brother."

Ikumi Gunda pointed at Conan, who was standing still, and said, "He was the one who said that if Ms. Senma saw a child, she would definitely tell him how to escape."

"Haha." Conan smiled innocently as his gaze focused on himself.

"So, you were just pretending to be dead so I would tell you all this?"

The arrival of a thousand generations of people was shocking.

“Yes, as long as we’re alive, you’ll never confess.” Kogoro Mouri’s expression was particularly lively today as he walked up to Kazuyo Senma with a smile.

"So, now all we need to do is figure out how to escape from here... Wait, haven't we forgotten something?"

“Hmm…” Conan pondered for a moment, “I remember Toru said he had a satellite phone and would contact the police to rescue us.”

"Right, so what's the point of all this farce?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances. If they could get a way to escape from Chima Kazuyo, that would be great. But coming away empty-handed... made their whole performance seem rather silly.

"And, isn't someone missing...?"

Chapter 153 Life is a series of ups and downs

"Tono!"

Conan, realizing what was happening, rushed upstairs. The incident was over, but Toru Tono was still upstairs, which seemed very strange.

Come to think of it, no one had actually checked his condition before... Could it be that he wasn't just pretending to be dead while lying on the ground, but was actually dead?!

Conan took the lead, rushed upstairs to the room, and pushed the door open.

Tohru Tohno remained lying motionless beside the table, just as before, without making any noise.

Conan walked over with a gloomy expression.

Such a commotion shouldn't have gone unheard... This looks very ominous.

He reached his hand towards Tohru's face and sighed...

Then he was stunned.

Contrary to expectations of feeling nothing, breathing was slow and steady—was I asleep?

Conan was speechless, his breathing becoming heavy from running up the stairs.

And he was so worried... How could he fall asleep lying on the floor?!

Conan changed his position, squatted down next to Tohno, and poked his cheek.

"......Um?"

When Tohru Tono woke up, he saw Conan's big face right next to him.

After taking a second to confirm the situation, Toru Tono calmly sat up.

"it's over?"

"...It's over." Conan, seeing how calm he was, almost suspected he was doing it on purpose. "Were you asleep?"

"..." Tohru Tono got up from the ground. "I was only lost in the dream for a short time."

"?"

Conan stared at him in shock.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone describe accidentally falling asleep in such a fresh and elegant way.

If I had that kind of ability to talk nonsense, I probably wouldn't have been scolded for sleeping in class, right?

"I said, you can fall asleep lying on a cold floor? Don't you sleep at night?"

"I said I was only a little lost—I have to work tonight, so I took the opportunity to catch up on sleep just now."

"Tsk." Conan rolled his dead fish eyes and stopped worrying about it.

It's better not to die.

"Tousang!"

Tohru Tohno had just gotten up when Ran, who must have just been woken up by someone else, rushed in and excitedly grabbed his hand: "Thank goodness! Thank goodness... I thought you..."

Xiao Lan's voice gradually choked up as she spoke.

"Ran?" Toru Tono asked, puzzled.

Conan secretly stepped on his foot.

You better apologize properly to Xiaolan who was terrified!

......

Not long after Toru Tono woke up, Inspector Megure called for a police helicopter to pick them up, which landed at the door.

A group of famous detectives led the murderer, Chima Kazuyo, upstairs.

It just goes to show that there's strength in numbers. One detective is no match for a group of detectives, and a good detective isn't necessarily a good murderer. Da Shang Zhu Shan's act of calling so many detectives together was just throwing good food at them.

"Speaking of which, Senma-neechan," Mogi Harufumi, who was sitting on the outer side of the annex, suddenly turned to Senma Kazuyo as the helicopter flew over the annex, "you said you wanted to put psychological pressure on us, which was originally Ookami Kisuke's plan, right?"

"Then why did you create the illusion that you were dead after killing him?"

Looking at the scenery high in the sky, Chima Kazuyo answered without turning her head: "Because I have always hoped to decipher the code to the treasure that my father left me, otherwise I will die with regrets."

"Besides, what better excuse could bring you all together, all of you famous detectives?"

Senma Kazuyo leaned against the machine door and sighed, "Maybe the one possessed by Karasuma Renya is actually my enemy's daughter."

After saying that, she suddenly pulled open the door, her body tilted, and she slid out of the air without weight.

"Big Sister?!"

The incident happened so suddenly that Mogi Harufumi didn't expect her to suddenly take her own life. He didn't react for a moment and could only watch helplessly as Chima Kazuyo fell from the sky.

Just then, a figure flashed past me like the wind.

"Get out of the way!" Kogoro Mouri, who was sitting in the middle, saw Kazuyo Senma fall down and suddenly dodged past Harufumi Mogi, leaping down as well.

"Oh no!"

Conan was startled and stood up beside the machine door, sighing with regret.

He had just opened the cover of the tranquilizer watch, and was about to shoot it into the neck of the "Kogoro Mouri" who was clearly Kaito Kid in disguise... but then this happened.

The other detectives, especially Hakuba Saguru, also gathered around, looking unwilling to give up.

Most of them recognized Mori as Kaito Kid and were planning to make their move as soon as they got off the helicopter... but now they don't have the chance.

"dad!!!"

Ran was terrified, screaming as she watched Kogoro Mori plummet from the sky, getting closer and closer to Senma Kazuyo.

As the distance between Kogoro Mouri and Kazuyo Senma narrowed due to their posture, Kogoro Mouri's suit jacket and trousers suddenly flew into the air, and a white parachute appeared abruptly.

"Hey old lady, are you tired of living and that's why you're in such a hurry to end your life?"

Kaito Kuroba held Chima Kazuyo in his arms and asked with a smile.

"Kaito Kid?!" Ran experienced another emotional rollercoaster, her face filled with confusion.

When did my father become Kaito Kid?

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm doing this to help you." Chima Kazuyo propped herself up in the biting wind and whispered in Kuroba Kaito's ear.

"Huh?" Kaito Kuroba was taken aback.

"I'm just apologizing for using your name to host a dinner party."

"If you don't do this, how will you escape from that group of people?" Chima Kazuyo looked up.

Kaito Kuroba looked up and saw Hakuba Saguru and Conan standing at the airplane door with regretful expressions, Conan's watch still flipped open.

"Heh heh heh, you guys saw right through me after all." Kaito Kuroba gave a gentlemanly smile, like Kaito Kid. "But it doesn't matter anyway."

"I think you must have come for Karasuma Renya's treasure, right?"

"Well, that's how it was supposed to be, but I gave up."

Kaito Kuroba tied a balloon, big enough to support a person's weight, to Kazuyo Chima, then released it and flew away into the distance.

"That thing is too small even to cover my bathroom floor."

He piloted the glider, flying farther and farther away.

"Damn it, that bastard got away again." It's impossible to aim accurately when someone is flying in the air, and Conan angrily slammed his fist on the airplane door frame.

Hakuba Saguru watched his good classmate fly further and further away, feeling both unwilling and somewhat gratified.

After all, the best thing is that Kaito Kuroba didn't become a murderer.

......

Tohru Tono ignored the noise over there and kept looking back at the twilight villa in the distance.

The place remained quiet and peaceful, with no signs of collapsed walls.

The vast villa remained shrouded in the shadows of night.

Chapter 154 Get rich Get rich

The following night, Tohru Tono and Maya Tachibana, wearing hang gliders, returned to the Twilight Villa in Tottori.

The purpose of this trip was to secretly deal with the entire Twilight Villa, which was made of gold and was confirmed to be under the surveillance of the Black Organization. Therefore, Tohno Toru did not dare to drive over in a big way, but instead chose to hide his identity and approach with a hang glider.

He and Tachibana Maya both used the [Disguise Hoodie] to disguise themselves as two very ordinary middle-aged men.

[Disguise Hoodie: A hoodie made using a special process. Nanotechnology can be used to completely alter the wearer's physical characteristics.]

After upgrading his skill to [Nano Modification], Toru Tohno conducted a series of studies and upgraded all of his previous inventions that used "holographic projection technology" as their underlying principle.

Inventions made using nanotechnology as their basic principle are not only extremely simple in construction, but also far more effective than holographic technology.

Previously, the "disguise hoodie" and environmental invisibility cloak made using holographic technology would form a somewhat illusory membrane in the eyes of others due to technological limitations. Basically, anyone with a discerning eye could see through it at a glance.
