Only then did he realize that this was actually Professor Agasa's house.

At that moment, Professor Agasa walked over carrying a plate of cutlery.

"You brat, how dare you say that? Last night I saw the lights were on in your house. I told you before that you shouldn't go back until we find the antidote to turn you back, otherwise you might be targeted by those men in black."

I was worried, so I climbed over to check on you, only to find you asleep in your room. I carried you back, and you suffered so much.

Conan felt a surge of emotion. Besides his parents, the person who cared about him the most in the world was this chubby Professor Agasa.

"Doctor, thank you so much. I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Professor Agasa waved his hand: "Don't say that. We've always been friends despite our age difference. I watched you grow up, so don't be so polite. By the way, has Ran come back yet? You seem a bit off. What happened?"

Conan, of course, would tell Professor Agasa everything he knew without reservation.

So he told her everything he and his father had seen and heard, as well as some of his guesses.

"I can't believe it. The tremors that day were felt even in Beika Town. I never imagined that a large military base would suffer such a blow. It's unbelievable. But Shinichi, do you think this was done by that Miyazaki swordsman? Have you found any evidence?"

Conan shook his head: "There is no evidence. These are all speculations from me and my dad!"

But this is highly likely to happen; only if the truth is as it is can all the irrationality become rational!

Professor Agasa comforted him, "Shinichi, I agree with your father's point of view. Let's leave it at that. Don't delve any further into this matter. Think about it, if all these guesses are wrong, then you've wasted a lot of energy, but it's alright."

The most terrifying possibility is the second one. If this speculation is true, it would be extremely frightening. In order to cover up the truth and not want to cause greater turmoil, the government would see you as a stumbling block. The same applies to that Miyazaki swordsman.

He had already achieved his goal perfectly, and the government was quite sensible in reaching a reconciliation with him. Now that you've ruined it, the situation you're facing might be a hundred times more dangerous, as the men in black might discover your existence.

Chapter 413 Confrontation with Conan

"No! I can't accept this! Those are the lives of thousands of people, how can they be trampled on!"

He then ran out, and Professor Agasa's expression changed drastically.

"No, Shinichi wants to confront that Miyazaki swordsman. No, I can't let him do that. Once some secrets are revealed, the consequences will be extremely terrible!"

So he hurriedly tried to catch up, but although Conan was short and had short legs, he was incredibly fast. There was no way for a fat old man to catch up with him. He could only watch helplessly as Conan disappeared from sight.

"Sigh, Shinichi, you're always so impulsive. I hope nothing bad happens to you."

Meanwhile, at Miyazaki Hayao's home, a lavish dinner party was underway.

In the hall, a long table made up of several large tables was already filled with all kinds of delicious food, and every ingredient in these dishes was extremely rare.

What's even more remarkable is that these weren't purchased by Miyazaki Yu; rather, they were specially airlifted by him with just one phone call. The government used two dedicated aircraft for refrigerated air transport of these ingredients, which were delivered to Miyazaki's kitchen within three hours of being harvested.

The fact that the finest ingredients were directly air-freighted surprised even someone like Yuanzi, who was used to such extravagance.

However, they quickly stopped caring, since it was nothing to the Suzuki family; she was the kind of person who would build an amusement park on a whim.

However, it startled Xiaolan, who couldn't help but ask Miyazaki Yu what was going on.

Miyazaki Yu simply smiled and explained that it was a benefit the government was providing to him, so Ran didn't pursue the matter further.

After all, Ran couldn't imagine that Miyazaki Yu was saying this to appease the government.

The more he acts this way, demanding more from the government and money for his enjoyment, the more at ease the government will feel.

Indeed, when the government received Miyazaki Yu's call and learned of his request, the top officials agreed without any hesitation.

They immediately arranged a private plane to airlift the freshest, top-quality ingredients.

In this way, top-quality ingredients combined with top-quality craftsmanship result in a top-quality experience.

In particular, Miyazaki Yu's unparalleled knife skills make each dish visually stunning, giving the taster an unimaginable visual impact.

"Wow, Miyazaki, this platter is absolutely amazing! It's a work of art, a sculpture! How am I supposed to eat it? I've just devoured a work of art with one bite!"

Seeing Sonoko's exaggerated expression, Miyazaki Yu couldn't help but smile.

“Yuanzi, it’s not that exaggerated. No matter how beautiful the dishes look, they are meant to be eaten. Once they are eaten, they lose their value. If you really like them, I can make one just like it out of wood and give it to you.”

Sonoko's face lit up with surprise, followed by a blush.

"Then it's a deal! You can't go back on your word, great swordsman. After dinner, I'm going to take a look at that thing. When Xiaolan told me about it, I was quite surprised. You guys actually found a huge gem that rivals the stars in the night sky without making a sound, and it's even golden! So even if the diameter is a little smaller, its value is still considerable!"

Sitting to the side, Xiaolan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Yuanzi, you're exaggerating. This pearl is nowhere near as good as Dark Night Star. We just found it by chance, and we also brought back the giant oyster that produced it."

Xiaoyu said before that it would be better to have the pearls designed into accessories by a jewelry designer, but I haven't seen them yet.

Miyazaki Yu nodded: "I only retrieved the jewelry last night. It's upstairs now. How about we have dinner together and then go admire it together?"

Everyone readily agreed, but Kogoro Mouri, who couldn't wait any longer, immediately spoke up.

"Alright, alright, stop looking at jewelry. These are all dishes made with top-quality ingredients. And this kid's cooking skills are so good. This meal will definitely be better than the most expensive restaurants in Tokyo. I don't want to wait any longer. And these two bottles of Romanée-Conti are just too good to wait for."

Eri, standing to the side, snorted softly: "Since someone can't wait, then let's eat quickly. Just don't drink too much alcohol. Some people's stomachs are used to beer, but they may not be able to handle this kind of top-quality red wine."

Her words left Kogoro Mouri wide-eyed, but under the intimidation of the legal queen, he dared not utter a word more and could only channel his grief and anger into his appetite, beginning to feast.

It must be said that top-quality ingredients are indeed top-quality, and they are extremely fresh. Combined with proper cooking methods, every dish is a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, tantalizing everyone's taste buds.

This drew praise from everyone, especially Rena and Mori, one big and one small, who ate with no regard for their image and seemed to be enjoying themselves the most.

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and a small figure walked in.

"Conan? You're back? Why did it take you so long to get here? Sit down and eat with us, or my dad and Rena will eat it all up."

At this moment, Conan had absolutely no appetite. He stared intently at Miyazaki Hayao, who was smiling at him, as if he were looking at something terrifying.

"Conan? What's wrong? Do you have a fever?"

Seeing Conan's strange behavior, Ran became anxious and hurriedly got up to see what was wrong with him.

Conan quickly shook his head: "Ran-neechan, no need, I'm fine. I just have some things I want to ask Miyazaki-nii."

Then she turned to Miyazaki Yu and said, "Miyazaki-nii, can we go upstairs to talk? I have something very important to discuss with you!"

Miyazaki Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and focused his gaze on Conan. In an instant, Conan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, a sense of horror spreading from his little finger to the tips of his hair, as if a huge monster had already pinned him down behind him.

"Conan, can't you see we're eating? Can't we wait until we finish eating to talk about this? Don't be ridiculous!"

Kogoro Mouri glared at Conan with some displeasure.

Conan gritted his teeth and said, "It's really urgent, Miyazaki-nii, I want to talk to you!"

Miyazaki Yu smiled and said, "Conan is a very mature and good kid. Since he said that, he must have something very important to tell me. Everyone, let's eat first, we'll be back in a bit!"

He got up and walked upstairs without stopping on the second or third floor. He went straight to the roof, stood on the edge of the railing, and looked into the distance.

Conan could only grit his teeth and follow. The moment he reached the rooftop, he saw Miyazaki Yu's figure and felt a sense of disorientation. Miyazaki Yu was standing in the breeze, her whole body enveloped in a faint glow.

At this moment, he seemed like a god bathed in divine light, standing there quietly. Compared to him, he was like a speck of dust in the world, his whole body filled with incomprehensible pressure.

Chapter 414 The Powerless Conan

"Miyazaki-nii, is it really necessary to use such methods on a small child? My body can't withstand your pressure."

Conan's seemingly innocent face now held an indescribable depth.

A faint halo of light reflected off his transparent glasses; those who know him well know that this is when Conan is most focused.

Miyazaki Yu had her back to him and never turned around.

When he first awoke, his power was very weak, and he was still deeply wary of this elementary school student who was a death god.

The other party was calm, wise, and resourceful. As his classmate, it was inevitable that he would feel a little scared, after all, this person was someone who was far away from home.

However, as he gradually rose to power and gained immense strength, defeating his opponent multiple times without Conan's knowledge, he was no longer as wary of him as before.

This world has always been in the hands of those who hold power.

Orenero realized he was a threat, so he was determined to kill him at all costs.

Karasuma Renya also realized his threat and wanted to take advantage of the situation, using the power of the Pandora Organization and the Dark Church to kill two birds with one stone, not only eliminating him but also severely damaging the Sword Masters Association.

However, thanks to his wisdom and planning, the enemy not only failed, but failed miserably. They lost many bio-engineered soldiers, and even their general Gin died at his hands.

This operation was intended to teach a profound lesson to all those who dared to reach out to him.

If a woman threatens him, then he'll take a trip to a military base and make all his enemies disappear into the depths of the earth, creating materials for converting petroleum for neon tens of thousands of years from now.

After all, oil is formed from things like wood and animal bones through geological changes, and the corpses of people might also become precious non-renewable resources hundreds of thousands of years later.

However, this is based on the premise that Japan still existed at that time.

"Conan, you've wronged me. I didn't use any pressure on you. If I had, you wouldn't be able to move a single finger, like this."

As he spoke, he turned around slightly, and a sharp aura surged instantly. The surrounding atmosphere seemed to freeze, and Conan's face turned extremely pale. He immediately knelt on one knee on the ground.

"See? This is my true aura. The reason you feel oppressed after seeing me is because you have a desire to fight against me, but your body is sending you a message that you must not have such thoughts."

This is a bodily instinct, a feeling that transcends reason. It won't be swayed by your willpower. No matter how strong you are, you will feel fear. This is a difference in the level of life. After mastering the highest secrets of swordsmanship, my strength has advanced further, completely transcending the realm of ordinary people.

Conan's face turned pale; the pressure emanating from his entire body made him extremely uncomfortable.

But at that moment, all the pressure vanished instantly, as if everything before had been fake, but the tingling sensation in my body was real.

"Speak up. You came to me all this way, wanting to say something. Now it's just the two of us here, so you can say whatever you want. I won't stop you. But I hope you understand that once some things are said, they can never be the same again. I hope you can think about it carefully."

Conan felt a tremor in his heart, and a voice rose within him.

"He already knew who I was? Why?!"

However, he gritted his teeth and continued, "Miyazaki-nii, there's something I haven't found any evidence for, nor can I prove it. I only arrived at this conclusion based on my reasoning, but I firmly believe it's the truth, so please answer me honestly!"

This was Conan's last resort. He knew Miyazaki Yu's pride, and perhaps provoking him with words would get him the answer he wanted.

Miyazaki Yu leaned back slightly, resting her body against the railing.

"Conan, didn't you call yourself a detective and want to become the second Sherlock Holmes? Sherlock Holmes's most important thing in solving cases is evidence. Just like in The Mystery in Scarlet, he used a few small clues to focus his suspicions on a coachman and eventually found evidence to prove the murderer's identity."

Are you now trying to make judgments based on your own subjective judgment? Such judgments are certainly worthless, and I hope it's best not to say them. Otherwise, a wrong judgment could very well lead to extremely terrible consequences.

"hateful!"

Conan was speechless. This guy was so cautious that even at this moment, he didn't reveal the slightest flaw!

He immediately stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Miyazaki-nii, what I really want to ask is, about the shock that happened the day before yesterday, which affected thousands of people in Tokyo. It wasn't an earthquake at all; someone detonated an underground military base, killing all the soldiers. What I want to ask is, did you do this?"

Miyazaki Yu sighed inwardly. Despite his secretive actions, someone still managed to connect the dots to him.
