Detective Conan: I, with my magical powers, am going to destroy the world!

Chi Chufeng was pulled back to his senses, handed the phone back to the playful girl, and asked, "Does your guild leader always sleep like this?"

"Ah," the playful girl was completely bewildered by Chi Chufeng's words, "Ogi always sleeps like this, she says this is the most comfortable position to sleep in."

"It seems to be correct."

Chi Chufeng stood with his hands clasped together and murmured aloud.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like an incident, and the chances of it being a hoax are quite small.

"Miss Yuiko," Akatsuka asked the bewildered, playful woman one last time, "could you tell me more about the member of your group who passed away? Was it a traffic accident or suicide?"

“It was an accident,” the playful girl explained, though she didn’t know why Chi Chufeng was asking these questions. “A little boy ran a red light and went into the road to pick up a soccer ball. Zhu Yin was hit by a car while trying to save the child.”

"What does your commander have to do with this?" Chi Chufeng asked, frowning.

“Dijiang? Although she felt that Zhu Yin’s death was her fault, she couldn’t be blamed. Zhu Yin’s voice was damaged at that time, so she listened to Dijiang and could not speak until her voice recovered.

According to eyewitnesses at the scene, Zhu Yin didn't call out to the child; instead, she rushed over to rescue him.

"So that's it."

Hearing the playful girl's explanation, Chi Chufeng didn't ask any further questions, but simply said, "Could you call the two of them over as well?"

"Huh?" The playful girl was taken aback.

Shortly after, amidst the cries of several women, Chi Chufeng walked out of the recording studio alone and returned to the underground lounge with a calm expression.

He had a pretty good understanding of the situation and had also spoken with the girl with the ponytail and the others in person.

The girl with the ponytail who was closest to Akane was greatly affected by the accident and fell ill and was bedridden for a period of time, so she always thought that Akane had committed suicide.

Zhu Yin's voice was ruined because the band leader got drunk and talked nonsense. As a result, Zhu Yin was not allowed to continue singing, and then the incident happened.

The girl with the ponytail thought her friend committed suicide by running a red light because of this incident, so she wanted to kill the leader to avenge her friend. But in reality, the leader also regretted his drunken words and was trying to help Zhu Yin regain her voice.

It's unfortunate, but if the girl with the ponytail had actually gone all out this time, it would have been a real tragedy.

"What's wrong?" When she saw Chi Chufeng return, a hint of doubt flashed in Xiao Lan's eyes, as if something had happened.

"It's nothing," Chi Chufeng laughed. "It's about time. Have you decided who will be the lead singer? The songs I write might be a bit difficult."

0 .. 0

"Singer?"

Sonoko froze for a moment, and Ran was dumbfounded as well.

They completely forgot about the most important thing.

"Let's find a guitarist first..."

"Whoosh!"

A week later, it was raining heavily in Tokyo. The streets were flooded, pedestrians hurried by, and there were far fewer vehicles on the road.

Chi Chufeng went out with an umbrella and almost got soaked by the rain splashed up by the car wheels.

"Really..."

Watching the car drive away, Chi Chufeng sighed softly.

Working in this weather is annoying enough, and today I have to figure out how to eat by myself.

It all started with Sonoko's dream of forming a band. After meeting that all-female band in the recording studio, Sonoko seemed determined to form her own all-girl band.

After failing to find a suitable candidate at Teitan High School, they actually dragged Ai Haibara along.

Heaven knows how Ai Haibara happened to be able to play the guitar and also developed an interest in bands.

Chi Chufeng took out his newly bought phone and checked the time.

Chapter 625 The Girl Who Saw a UFO

"Drip, drip!" A girl wearing a hat hurriedly ran past in the heavy rain, eventually having to take shelter in front of the bookstore to wipe off the rain.

"Oh, I should have brought an umbrella!"

The girl looked at the endless rain with a worried expression, muttered something to herself, and then her gaze suddenly fell on Chi Chufeng.

At first, I didn't pay attention, but when Chi Chufeng approached, I called out softly, "Lord Chi Chu?"

"Ok?"

Chi Chufeng stopped and looked at the girl with a puzzled expression.

She was a black-haired girl with side-swept bangs and an orange hair clip.

At the age of high school students, their cute and youthful faces still carried a lot of heroic spirit. Even though they were soaked to the bone by the heavy rain, they didn't look disheveled at all.

High school girls these days are so full of energy!

"Is that Lord Chichu?" the girl asked uncertainly, but after seeing Chichu Feng's appearance clearly, she exclaimed in surprise, "Just like Xiaolan said, he's so handsome!"

"Uh," Chi Chufeng's heart felt like it had been struck by a hammer, "Who are you?"

"I'm Wada Haruna, a second-year student at Beika High School," the girl said happily, "and I'm Ranmaru's strongest rival!"

"Ran... Maru?"

Chi Chufeng's smile froze.

Although she's a cute girl, something seems a little off...

"You mean Ran Mouri?"

"Yes, we often meet in the semifinals of karate tournaments. Although I always lose to her, I will surpass Ranmaru one day!" the girl said confidently, clenching her fist.

"I see. So you're a very skilled karate fighter too."

"of course."

"But why would Xiaolan mention me to you?" Chi Chufeng looked the girl over again. "And what the hell is Ranmaru?"

"Because Ran Mouri and Ranmaru Mori sound very similar," the girl said, blushing and smiling shyly. "Calling them that way gives the impression of wanting to overthrow Nobunaga's confidant."

"Huh?" Chi Chufeng was speechless.

"What a coincidence," the girl said solemnly. "I was planning to ask you for help these next few days. I saw a UFO during summer training camp, but the other members of the karate club and my friends don't believe me. If I ask you to find the aliens who came to Earth, it will prove that I really saw a UFO."

"UFO?" Chi Chufeng's eyes widened. "I think... it's better to talk to Xiaolan's father about this kind of thing, right?"

“I don’t have much money, so I’m a little embarrassed to ask Xiaolan’s father for help,” the girl said, staring intently at Chi Chufeng. “Aren’t you a fortune teller?”

"What does divination have to do with UFOs?" Chi Chufeng said speechlessly. "Where do you live? Let me take you home first, you'll easily catch a cold if you stay here."

“My house is just across this street,” the girl replied, then added reluctantly, “Sir, I really did see a UFO, over at Beika Park.”

"Maybe they saw something else, or maybe there were other witnesses?" Chi Chufeng said, opening his umbrella and leading the girl away.

"There weren't many people in the park at that time, probably because an elementary school teacher had been pushed down the stairs there before."

"Where are the photos? And, if it's a training camp, are you the only one there?"

"In order to defeat Xiaolan, I overtrained during that period, so I didn't jog with anyone else and just jogged alone."

The girl said, distressed.

"I was running, so I didn't bring my phone. But I really saw a UFO, and it flew over from our high school."

"Could it be that your high school made some kind of balloon or something?" Chi Chufeng continued to ask...

“That’s impossible. Only our karate club was using the gym that day. Nobody else was there,” the girl said, gesturing with her hands. “Besides, that UFO was a long, thin cylinder.”

"Alright, I'll visit Beika Park when I have time. That's all for today, I still have work to do."

"Yes! Thank you for your trouble, Lord Chichu!"

Chi Chufeng dropped the girl off at the foot of an apartment building and, with no other choice, gave her a vague answer.

Seeing the girl's happy expression, Chi Chufeng shook his head, opened his umbrella, and walked alone into the rain.

He didn't know if aliens existed in this world, but the only thing he was sure of was that this kind of thing couldn't possibly be something an ordinary high school girl could easily encounter.

The UFO craze in Japan has never subsided. There are even dedicated UFO magazines that make money by providing all sorts of seemingly true or false information. Even Yoko Okino is currently filming a TV series about tracking aliens.

That said, even if Wada Yona really did see a UFO, where would she find aliens? The only thing she could do was investigate what exactly flew by at that time.

The rain didn't stop until the afternoon, drizzling down, and the gloomy sky made everyone feel particularly bad.

Akatsuka didn't have time to return to the agency; after completing the commission, he found a ramen shop nearby.

As he ate a full bowl of bone broth ramen, Akachu Kaze's thoughts drifted to Sonoko and her group.

It's been a week already, and today seems to be the day that all-female band held their memorial concert.

Sonoko also brought Ran and the others to support the event and experience the atmosphere.

"I'll go check it out later," Chi Chufeng thought.

Chapter 626 Deadly Bacteria

These past few days, Chi Chufeng hasn't had a chance to watch the performances at the various venues in the park; he's just asked the women's band for help.

Although the practice time was short, I heard that the group learned a lot from the female band.
