Ke Xue: Mastering Observation Haki at the start

Then... he fell stiffly to the ground, dead.

Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Public Doesn't Care About the Truth

"What happened?" Makoto Kyogoku walked in with a calm expression, his arm still wrapped in bandages.

Upon seeing this, Sonoko Suzuki immediately nudged Ran Mouri with her arm to draw attention to the bandage on Ran's arm.

"What happened to your arm? Are you injured?" Conan asked, pretending to be a child and showing concern.

“My arm…” Makoto Kyogoku raised his arm. “I was recently scratched by a small animal.”

"He's had bandages wrapped around his neck since this morning," Jia Chen said after observing him for a while.

“That’s true…it felt furry when I bit it.” Sonoko Suzuki stared at Makoto Kyogoku’s arm for a moment. “You don’t look like you have that much fur.”

Conan, somewhat suspicious, tentatively explained the situation to Makoto Kyogoku.

“It must be a thief.” After hearing this, Makoto Kyogoku walked to the window, closed it, and locked it. “Besides, you also have a problem. Wearing a crop top so late at night is practically inviting an attack.”

“Ah…” Sonoko Suzuki was taken aback.

“Besides, I don’t think this outfit suits you,” Makoto Kyogoku said, turning to look at Sonoko Suzuki, who was kneeling on the ground.

"What?!" Sonoko Suzuki, who had just been attacked, was clearly annoyed and displeased with Makoto Kyogoku's words. "This is my favorite piece of clothing!"

Seeing this, Ai Haibara, who was watching from the sidelines, muttered, "It's over..."

“Indeed.” Jia Chen nodded, his voice devoid of any emotion. “You should be gentler with girls…”

Upon hearing these words, the people nearby were speechless.

5

This sentence doesn't seem to have anything to do with you.

Ai Haibara glanced warily at Gatsuki, then stroked her smooth chin in thought.

3

Jia Chen's gentleness seems to be limited to her, because Jia Chen rarely smiles.

0

He only shows that warm smile when he's with her, like a friendly older brother next door.

Jia Chen simply ignored everyone's gaze.

Makoto Kyogoku, standing to the side, was busy helping Sonoko Suzuki pack her luggage.

9

"What are you doing?" Ran Mouri asked, somewhat puzzled.

0

"I'll help you pack your luggage and change your rooms." Kyogoku Makoto didn't stop. "If you want your room to be burgled, then never mind."

9

Ran Mouri shuddered at the thought of her room being broken into the night before and shook her head. "I don't want to..."

"And it's best to eat at the hotel," Makoto Kyogoku said, picking up his luggage and looking at everyone. "It's raining outside right now, it's dangerous."

"Ran... let's eat at the inn then." Sonoko Suzuki was clearly taken aback by Makoto Kyogoku's words.

"I think so too," Ran Mouri nodded, saying with some fear, "But what about Mr. Daoxie?"

"Oh right, I'll send Mr. Daoxie a text message and we'll meet again tomorrow morning. We can go play in the woods for a while." After this incident, Sonoko Suzuki had forgotten about the date until Ran Mouri reminded her.

Hearing this, Makoto Kyogoku remained silent, his glasses gleaming, and walked out with his luggage.

The others followed them downstairs.

Jia Chen sat in his seat, looking down at the forum on his phone, surfing the web...

"Murder is definitely wrong. I really don't understand why some people always blame the woman for the crime."

"Ah, right, right, the original poster is right. If the woman is virtuous, would the man kill her? There must be something wrong with her!"

"Yes, why only kill that woman and not the others?"

As the discussion intensified, rumors emerged, with most commenters believing there was something amiss with the deceased.

"Brother Jiachen, what are you looking at?" Conan walked over, curiously looking at Jiachen's phone screen. After seeing the comments on the forum, a surge of anger immediately rose within him. "How could these people... say such things?"

“It’s just their individual opinions,” Jia Chen said. “It’s just that most people go with the flow.”

"But... no matter what, we shouldn't criticize the deceased." Conan looked at the comments on the forum and felt his values ​​being severely shaken. "Murder is wrong in itself, so why are people applauding it?"

“That makes sense,” Jia Chen nodded. “But you can’t change it.”

Conan was about to say something... but found himself unable to say anything, because what Jia Chen said was true.

It's just that I don't want to believe it.

Jia Chen looked at Conan, whose face was somewhat pale, and said nothing.

As a famous detective, Shinichi Kudo naturally sees a world where solving cases is celebrated. People praise his intelligence and the interesting way he solves cases. Receiving these praises, he naturally ignores other opinions, or perhaps he simply doesn't know them.

When you see comments that criticize rather than praise 5$9三02-⑴&909, you will naturally feel a sense of shattered beliefs.

"There are probably too many rumors, all just speculation," Conan thought for a moment. "If there were the truth, the outcome would be different."

“That’s a good idea,” Jia Chen nodded. “However, most people don’t care about the truth.”

“It will be difficult, but we will definitely stop the rumors!” Conan retorted.

Jia Chen nodded and said nothing more; it was Conan's freedom to do whatever he wanted.

The idea is good, but reality is cruel. One revelation of the truth can stop the rumors, but what if the truth doesn't come out next time?

After everyone finished their meal, they returned to their rooms...

After the rain stopped, the woods were tinged with green, and a few rays of warm light shone through the leaves.

"Sonoko...don't be sad." Ran Mouri walked beside Sonoko Suzuki and comforted her.

"I didn't expect Mr. Daoxie to still not reply to me," Sonoko Suzuki said, on the verge of tears. "Looks like I'm not going to find my Prince Charming..."

Conan: "...

However, he also had some suspicions about Dokyo Masahiko, who happened to disappear right after Sonoko was attacked yesterday, which seemed a bit too suspicious.

Jia Chen, on the other hand, walked calmly behind Ai Haibara, enjoying the scenery.

After walking for a while...

A masked man with slightly dark skin and a composed demeanor stepped out.

497 This person is none other than Makoto Kyogoku, who heard that Sonoko Suzuki was going on a date with that 'scumbag' Masahiko Dokyo the next day.

He planned to impersonate the murderer halfway through the journey to prove that the man was a "scumbag."

However, after stepping forward, Makoto Kyogoku was stunned when he realized that Masahiko Dokyo was not among the group. Where was he?

"Who are you?" Ran Mouri tensed up when she saw the other person; she could sense a dangerous aura emanating from him.

"..." Kyogoku Makoto stood there awkwardly, unsure how to end the situation.

"You, you..." Sonoko Suzuki's eyes widened in fear. She took two steps back, tripped over a stone, and fell to the ground. "You wouldn't happen to be the murderer who killed the brown-haired woman, would you?"

"I...don't be afraid." Makoto Kyogoku was at a loss after seeing Sonoko Suzuki fall and wanted to go over and help her up.

Seeing the masked man approaching Sonoko Suzuki, Ran Mouri didn't care about anything else. She assumed a karate stance, yelled "Ha!", and attacked Makoto Kyogoku.

Upon realizing the situation was turning against him, Conan quickly raised his watch and fired it at Makoto Kyogoku.

A slight smile played on his lips. This suspect was truly unlucky; first Ran Mouri, then Gatsu, and now he had a tranquilizer dart that could numb an elephant with incredible speed... If he didn't fall, who would?

*Clatter*

The moment the voice rang out, Conan's smile froze.

The masked man in black was holding the tranquilizer dart between his index finger and thumb, the tip of the dart trembling rapidly.

Chapter 100: Just how strong is Makoto Kyogoku?

Ran Mouri was unaware of what had just happened. Using the momentum of her forward charge, she leaped up and aimed at the masked man in black.

Makoto Kyogoku glanced at Conan, then calmly retreated to dodge.

They did not launch an attack before Ran Mouri landed.

After missing her first attack, Ran Mouri didn't hesitate. Using her left foot as a pivot, she turned and kicked backward.

Kyogoku Makoto's novels are available online; join group 5 (+30⑵); 1909 times dodged.

After realizing her opponent's strength, Ran Mouri remained calm and charged at him again... Her movements, including straight punches, side kicks, and continuous punches, were fluid and graceful.

The sound of air being cut through proved the immense power.
