I'm in Detective Conan, and I start with the Grand Theft Auto system.

The next morning.

When Lin Shen woke up, the sunlight outside the window had already pierced through the gap in the curtains, drawing a bright white band of light on the floor of the room.

He instinctively reached out and touched the side, but it was empty.

Akemi left a long time ago.

Lin Shen lay on the bed for a while to recover, then tried to turn over. As a result, a soreness and pain came from his lower back, making him hiss involuntarily. He lay on the bed grimacing for a long time before he recovered.

He lay on the pillow, with only one thought in his mind: Mingmei's physical strength seems to have improved again.

Before, I knew her depth, and she knew my strengths and weaknesses.

How come my stamina is increasing so quickly?

It's often said that men are the best tonic for women, and now it seems... that's really true!

This is not a good sign!

If he continues to lie low like this, sooner or later he won't even be able to beat Akemi, which would be truly shameful.

He secretly made a vow in his heart that he would definitely start training when he got back!

We need to improve our physical fitness at the very least.

This can't go on any longer!

Lin Shen gritted his teeth and got out of bed. He stood for a while, supporting his waist, and then dragged his still weak legs into the bathroom.

After washing up, he changed into a clean set of casual clothes, and finally looked like a normal person again.

He left the room, took the elevator down to the first floor, and walked towards the restaurant.

The restaurant was filled with the aroma of toasted bread and fried bacon, mixed with the rich flavor of coffee, which was invigorating.

Lin Shen glanced at the people in the restaurant and quickly spotted Mingmei at a table by the window, holding a steaming cup of black coffee and sipping it slowly.

There was an empty plate in front of her, indicating that she had been sitting there for a while.

Lin Shen walked over and sat down opposite her, raised his hand to signal to the waiter, and ordered a coffee and a sandwich.

He leaned back in his chair, looked at Mingmei's obviously tired eyes, and asked with a smile, "You're up pretty early."

Mingmei put down her coffee cup, yawned widely, and then said in a resentful tone, "Morning? Of course I'm early! I didn't sleep well at all!"

"I was busy all night long—"

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a strong, resonant voice.

"Good morning, you two!" Lin Shen and Mingmei turned around at the same time and saw Kogoro Mouri walking towards them in a bright and cheerful manner, wearing a flashy plaid shirt.

Ran and Conan followed behind him. Ran was wearing a beige dress and looked much fresher, with a rosy complexion, indicating that she had slept well last night.

Conan followed at the very back, wearing a blue short-sleeved T-shirt, looking no different from usual.

Lin Shen smiled and raised his hand in greeting, "Mr. Mori, good morning. Shall we have a seat?"

Kogoro Mouri didn't stand on ceremony and pulled out a chair to sit down next to Lin Shen. Ran sat next to Akemi, and Conan sat next to Ran.

The group called over a waiter and ordered breakfast.

Kogoro Mouri ordered a Japanese set meal and a bottle of beer, Ran ordered a simple toast and fried egg, and Conan ordered a sandwich and milk.

While waiting for their food, Lin Shen noticed that after Xiao Lan finished ordering, she subconsciously glanced in his direction, but as soon as their eyes met, she quickly looked away and turned to Ming Mei, deliberately asking her how her sandwich tasted.

Seeing Xiaolan's unnatural expression, Lin Shen couldn't help but smile to himself.

He thought it was because of what Xiaolan said last night after she inhaled the drug smoke, like "Let's take a shower together and I'll scrub your back."

Now that I'm sober and clear-headed, I feel ashamed when I think back on it, which is why I didn't dare look him in the eye.

Lin Shen didn't think much of it and quickly looked away.

At that moment, Kogoro Mouri took a sip of the iced water the waiter had just brought over, then suddenly lowered his voice and leaned closer to Lin Shen, saying:

"President Lin, do you know what happened? I woke up early this morning and found a lot of police officers on Moonshadow Island!"

Lin Shen nodded and replied naturally, "Yes, I've heard about it."

"It seems there was a big fire on the mountainside last night, and it burned down the residence of the Black Rock Village Chief."

"The fire was huge. The police are probably here to investigate that incident."

Conan, who was standing next to him, didn't touch the glass of milk in front of him.

He simply sat there quietly, his gaze fixed on Lin Shen's face, carefully observing every micro-expression as he spoke—his tone, his eyes, the curve of his lips—not missing a single detail!

He learned the whole truth from Asai Shigemi last night, and knew that the seemingly harmless President Hayashi in front of him was the murderer who slaughtered dozens of people in the Kuroiwa residence!

But now Lin Shen sat here, dressed in clean casual clothes, holding a cup of coffee, chatting casually, as if he had killed not dozens of people last night, but dozens of pigs!

This composure made Conan even more wary.

Kogoro Mouri, oblivious to Conan's unusual behavior, exclaimed in sudden realization, "Ah~~ so that's what happened! No wonder there were so many police cars so early in the morning."

"Sigh, I drank too much last night. I went back to the hotel and fell asleep immediately. I didn't hear a thing."

He had barely finished speaking when his gaze suddenly stopped, fixed on the direction of the restaurant entrance. Then, as if sprang up by a spring, he stood up and waved in that direction with a look of delighted surprise.

"Inspector Megure! Over here!"

Lin Shen followed his gaze.

A short, stout man wearing a beige trench coat and a hat was standing at the restaurant entrance, talking to a waiter.

It was Inspector Megure Juzo of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division.

When Inspector Megure heard someone call his name, he turned around and showed a somewhat surprised expression.

He nodded to the waiter to indicate he would be a moment, then walked over: "Brother Mori? What are you doing here?"

Kogoro Mouri chuckled, rubbed his hands together, and said with a hint of smugness, "I just got a commission, didn't I!"

"Someone sent me a letter asking me to come to Moonshadow Island to investigate something."

When Inspector Megure heard the word "commission," a "I knew it" expression appeared on his face.

He knew this younger brother was unlucky and would get into trouble wherever he went.

Kogoro Mouri immediately leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Inspector, I heard that Chief Kuroiwa's house caught fire? What happened?"

Inspector Megure paused for a second or two, but trusting Kogoro Mouri, he said, "It's not as simple as just a fire."

"In the home of the Black Rock Village Chief, including himself and his daughter, dozens of people were all killed."

"Preliminary assessment indicates that the attack was carried out by an organized crime group!"
