Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

When Miyazawa Mie saw the person who came, her face lit up with surprise. Sato Miwako had risked her life to save her last time, for which she was very grateful, but she had never had the chance to thank her. She never expected that she would appear here this time.

Sato Miwako nodded at her, then hurriedly turned to Miyazaki Hadou.

"Miyazaki Kengo, you made a promise to the government that you wouldn't attack ordinary people arbitrarily. That's an agreement between you and the government, and I hope you can abide by it. Please let go and leave this matter to me, okay?"

"Miyazaki Kengo? Could he be that Miyazaki Kengo?"

Everyone stared wide-eyed, their incredulous gazes fixed on Miyazaki Yu, their shock no longer concealed!

Chapter 356 Akiko Sayama's Hesitation

"Is he the Miyazaki swordsman who nearly cornered Kaito Kid? Even within the Swordsman Association, he's one of the best?"

Shiro Konno said incredulously that he was skilled with computers and was clearly quite familiar with the information circulating online.

After the previous incident, he even compiled all the information. The swordsman would intentionally stir up trouble behind the scenes, and some half-true and half-false information naturally spread everywhere.

Everyone present harbored ulterior motives. Some wanted to know the whereabouts of the mysterious software, Dark Night Duke, while others sought revenge. They all had ill intentions, and when they suddenly heard about Miyazaki Yu's identity, they were all so shocked that they couldn't speak.

"So you're the swordsman Miyazaki? It's a pleasure to meet you."

A tall young man who had just arrived at the scene lit up with excitement upon hearing Miyazaki Yu's identity. He quickly squeezed to the front and looked at Miyazaki Yu with great anticipation.

Seeing the questioning look in Miyazaki Hayao's eyes, he quickly introduced himself.

"My name is Satoshi Maeda, and this is my fiancée, Akiko Sayama. It's so exciting! I never expected to see a master who has cultivated martial arts to an extraordinary level here. It's truly thrilling."

At this moment, Miyazaki Yu also remembered his identity. This Maeda Satoshi was the champion of the National Karate Championship six years ago. It was because of his admiration for him that Ran chose karate.

Sure enough, Ran's eyes lit up when she heard Maeda Satoshi's name.

“It really is Mr. Maeda. Hello, my name is Ran Mouri. I also won the karate tournament not long ago. I never expected to see you here. This is great.”

Miyazaki Yu smiled slightly and loosened his grip. Jiang Yuan Shi'an, who had almost fainted, rolled to the side in a disheveled state. This was not a figure of speech, but he really rolled on the ground because the intense pain left him without the strength to even stand up.

However, Sato Miwako did not let him off the hook. Instead, she took him aside, gave him a stern lecture, and then let him leave.

At this moment, Jiang Yuanshi's son, Shion, had no strength left to look at women. What he needed most was a doctor; he felt like his hands were about to break.

He was right. Miyazaki Yu had just used internal force, and several cracks had appeared on his wrist bones.

Miyazaki Yu smiled faintly, reached out and shook hands with Maeda Satoshi. The moment their hands touched, his breath swept over Maeda Satoshi's body.

In just a moment, I gained a very clear understanding of the limits of his abilities.

"The national karate champion from six years ago was quite skilled, but only comparable to Ran's current skill level. I seem to remember that this case was caused by these two people, or rather, by Maeda Satoshi's fiancée, Sayama Akiko. The one who was killed was that old pervert, Ehara Tokio. That's quite interesting."

He smiled and said, "Mr. Maeda, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary swordsman. It is only because the Sword Masters Association did not reject me that they allowed me to join."

He deliberately looked around and then spoke again: "It seems I came to the right place this time. Something very interesting is happening here. From your conversation just now, it's not hard to tell that you all want to find the organizer hidden among us. This organizer is called the Dark Night Duke. Judging from your reactions, you are going to great lengths to find out who the Dark Night Duke is."

Everyone gave an awkward smile. How could they, with their various motives, possibly speak when such a person suddenly appeared?

However, the tall and beautiful Kamijou Hideko was more decisive than the others.

"Mr. Miyazaki is joking. It's just a game. If we find out the identity of the Dark Duke, we can enjoy a completely free trip. We are also very interested in another prize, which is why we are so interested."

He quickly changed the subject, saying, "By the way, I haven't asked the gentlemen here yet."

Xiaolan smiled and said, "Then let me tell you. This beautiful lady over here is Aunt Miyazawa Mie, and this girl is her daughter, Miyazawa Suzuna."

Then there's Ai Haibara and Conan Edogawa. As for me, my name is Ran Mouri. And lastly, this is my father, Kogoro Mouri, who is a detective.

"What? Hiss—"

Everyone felt a pang of disappointment once again. They'd just seen a legendary swordsman arrive, and now a famous detective had appeared! What on earth was going on?!

"The famous detective Kogoro Mouri, I've seen him on TV."

Akiko Sayama, standing next to Satoshi Maeda, looked extremely uncomfortable.

A wave of despair washed over him: "How could things have turned out like this? I used the Izu Detective Club as a cover and the so-called Dark Duke's secret software to lure that villain here, but now, so many unexpected things have happened!"

The mere presence of this Miyazaki swordsman is already a huge obstacle, but he should only be skilled in swordsmanship and not be involved in the murder case. However, the Mori detective has also come!

Most importantly, they're working together. This Ran Mouri is clearly Miyazaki Kengo's girlfriend. If there's a murder, the two of them will definitely team up immediately. My methods might fool most people, but fooling them is practically impossible!

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel a bit dazed.

"Mingzi? Mingzi, what's wrong?"

Akiko Sayama only came to her senses when she heard her fiancé's voice.

She frowned and said, "Why are you shouting so loudly? I can hear you!"

Without saying a word, he walked away to the side.

After Maeda Satoshi expressed his apologies, he had no choice but to go after him.

Then the old man, Genichiro Kinjo, spoke up directly: "I didn't expect that a famous detective like you would come here. We all need to be careful not to reveal our secrets."

As he spoke, he stood up and, supported by the plump housekeeper, walked toward the elevator.

Soon, the once bustling hall was empty except for Miyazaki Yu and his group. However, Sato Miwako had finished her business and asked to join them, so the group suddenly became eight people.

Once in the room, Conan recounted some of the things Professor Agasa had mentioned earlier, namely that after the widespread use of computer communication, some people formed a travel group through discussions, which became known as the Izu Detective Club.

To add to the fun, the organizer hid himself among the ten invited participants. After giving everyone a 50% discount, he asked them to find his identity. If they found this organizer who claimed to be the Duke of the Night, they could get their travel expenses completely waived and receive a mysterious software as a reward.

Rena pouted and said, "Conan, why didn't you say so earlier? We've been stuck with a bunch of weirdos for ages."

Conan was speechless for a moment and said, "I didn't think much about it at the time. Who knew it would involve such a troublesome matter?"

Sato Miwako said, "I didn't expect the whole story to be like this. But from what I've seen now, it's clear that these people's goal is that mysterious software. However, if it were normal software, there's no need for such secrecy. It seems that this software is quite problematic."

Chapter 357 Opening the Clam to Obtain the Pearl

These words made Miyazaki Yu's eyes light up; this policewoman was quite perceptive.

The key to this matter lies in this mysterious software, which is like a fishhook, drawing together many people who want to obtain it.

Miyazaki Yu only glanced at the beautiful policewoman.

"Officer Sato, this matter is over, so you can leave now. I will restrain my behavior and will not easily lay a hand on anyone, but on the condition that no fools try to provoke me."

Sato Miwako was speechless for a moment, feeling annoyed. What did this guy mean? Was he trying to get rid of her?

Conan chuckled to himself, thinking, "I didn't expect this guy to be so cold-blooded, treating a beautiful woman like this."

Xiaolan couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoyu, what do you mean by this? Officer Sato is already here, why are you trying to send him away?"

Then he turned to Officer Sato and said, "Officer Sato, don't pay attention to him. You can stay here. You can share a room with me." He then glared at him fiercely.

This made Miyazaki Yu both amused and exasperated; this girl always thought of others so much.

"In that case, Officer Sato, you can stay. But let's make it clear that we're just here for sightseeing, and I don't want to hear any discordant voices."

Officer Sato responded in a low voice, her face showing some sadness. She had always been highly regarded in the Metropolitan Police Department, but she never expected to be so disrespected by this person.

However, he also knew in his heart that this person was not an ordinary high school student, but a terrifying existence that even the government had to treat with great care.

Xiaolan tugged at Miyazaki Yu's clothes, signaling him to stop talking.

"Oh, right, we just brought a really good treasure out of the sea, you guys haven't forgotten, have you?"

Rena's eyes lit up: "That's right, I was just about to say that. Ran-neechan said that there might be a very beautiful golden pearl in here."

I've heard from Sonoko-nee that her family has a heirloom black pearl called Dark Night Star. I wonder if this pearl can compare to Dark Night Star.

Ran smiled and said, "Lena, you're overthinking it. I know about Dark Night Star; it's a legendary, top-grade pearl. This one is just something we found casually. How could it compare to Dark Night Star?"

That's true. As a family heirloom of the Suzuki family, the Dark Night Star is naturally a rare treasure. Here's an explanation.

The first classification of pearls by size is based on millimeters. The primary criterion is whether the pearl is perfectly round. Just the roundness of the pearl alone can eliminate a significant portion of the pearls.

Many products like pearl powder use oddly shaped pearls as raw materials.

Then there's the size. The vast majority of pearls are less than five millimeters in diameter. Pearls that can reach more than seven millimeters are extremely rare. Out of a thousand pearls, only a few can reach more than seven millimeters.

Then there's the color. Generally speaking, white, purple, and pink pearls are freshwater pearls, and the quality of freshwater pearls is inferior to that of ocean pearls.

Among ocean pearls, gold and black are the most sought-after colors, and those that are over seven millimeters in size are extremely rare.

The last dimension is the luster of the pearl. The better the light transmission, the closer it is to a mirror, the more precious the pearl is.

In summary, the rarer the color, the larger the size, and the higher the translucency of a pearl, the higher its value.

From this perspective, the Suzuki family's Dark Night Star is indeed a rare and exceptional item. In terms of size, its diameter is over 20 millimeters, even approaching 30 millimeters.

The color is extremely rare, and with its star-like luster, it is truly a unique and unparalleled piece.

At this point, Kogoro Mouri also became interested.

"Hearing you say that, it seems like a lot of potential! If we can find a high-quality pearl, we'll be rich!"

He rubbed his hands together, looking extremely greedy.

Xiao Lan put her hands on her hips and said, "No way! Whether or not I can find a good pearl, this is mine. I won't sell it."

Xiao Ai suddenly said, "This clam is quite big, and its shell looks very hard. How are you going to open it? Should I go find a fruit knife?"

Miyazaki Yu smiled and said, "No need for all that trouble, just watch me."

He then brought the clam to his face, extended his finger, and gently tapped it. The clam trembled slightly and then slowly began to open its shell.

"This is,,,"

Everyone was startled. The door opened after just one knock. What kind of operation was that?

Seeing their puzzled expressions, Miyazaki Yu smiled and said, "It's not surprising. Actually, it's very simple. Any living thing that can move its organs needs muscles, and this giant clam is no exception. When I tapped it, I actually vibrated all the muscles in the clam, paralyzing them all."

The effect is equivalent to injecting a muscle relaxant into a person's muscles. Since the muscles can no longer be controlled, the outer shell naturally opens up.

Everyone forced a stiff smile, while inwardly screaming.

"This guy always manages to talk about things that are beyond the reach of ordinary people in such a relaxed and casual way."

Sato Miwako was shocked: "A light tap can have such an effect. In other words, if it were used on a person, it would only take one moment to completely incapacitate them, without any weapons or equipment. This person is truly terrifying!"

No, I must keep a close eye on him and absolutely cannot let him attack ordinary people, otherwise ordinary people would have no chance of resisting his attacks.

When he made up his mind, everyone gasped in surprise.

Following the gaze of the crowd, they were also taken aback.
