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

"Ah! Spare me!"

Miyazaki Yu sneered. That's how these scoundrels are. If you're nice to them, they'll think you're weak and easy to bully. But if you stab them in the back, they'll become docile.

"You've already heard my question, I don't want to repeat it!"

The black man immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He was the leader of a small gang, a gang that was not capable of fighting and killing. In fact, most gangs were not as cool as the Godfathers that the young people saw.

The vast majority of so-called gang income actually comes from dirty work.

For example, debt collection, threats and intimidation, or stalking. But this black man did a different kind of shady work, which was helping people clean up crime scenes.

The high crime rate in the United States has given rise to this illicit industry.

Even if the police in the United States are not very effective, gangs still don't want to leave any trouble behind. After all, once they are targeted, the consequences are often very serious. No matter how powerful a gang is, it is impossible to fight against a regular army.

This has given rise to a black market industry that cleans up gunfight scenes, erases all traces, and uses specialized reagents to wipe away blood to avoid luminol reactions.

After the comprehensive service, the entire scene was transformed, and all the evidence was packed up and taken away.

It would be virtually impossible for anyone to investigate further.

The people around him booed. Those who had just been looking for a show and were getting excited realized that almost no one here was a good person.

They were eager to see a bloody scene, but to their surprise, this young Asian man subdued the idiot Mant in a single move.

They were all disappointed. Mante, that coward, had become a spineless wimp just because someone broke his wrist.

What they didn't know was that, in order to save time, Miyazaki Yu used his internal energy to penetrate the opponent's meridians when he broke the opponent's wrist. The pain in that instant was like being pierced by a thousand needles. The extreme pain instantly shattered his psychological defenses.

"I'm letting you go now. You'd better come out with me obediently and don't try anything funny, or else..."

He gently lifted a pair of guns, revealing a dark, heavy stock inside. Mant's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't yet developed a sense of awe for martial arts masters, but his awe for guns was deeply ingrained.

"You mean? The one who attacked the villa was an organization called the Skeleton Knights? That's interesting."

In a secluded spot, the tall, muscular Black man was huddled up in a ball, clutching his arm, his whole body trembling.

That's how these guys are. If they're stronger than you, they'll be incredibly fierce, but if you can suppress them, they'll become pathetic.

In just a few moments, Miyazaki Yu completely shattered the black man's will with his actions.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's the Skeleton Knights. They're a very secretive gang. They've been secretly involved in the drug trade for a long time, and their business is huge. My little gang makes money by doing cleanup work for them."

Yesterday they suddenly notified me to do a cleanup, so I took some people with me. When we arrived, they had just left, so we did as they instructed and cleaned up all the traces.

Chapter 486 The Intricate and Complex Arrival of Ke Fu

"The Skeleton Knights? So they're just drug dealers. Can you contact them now?"

Mante quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, they're always the ones who contact me; I never contact them first."

After listening to his heartbeat and breathing, and observing his micro-expressions, I knew he wasn't lying, so I nodded slightly. These two clues were enough for me.

He then pulled his injured hand over, and Mant's body trembled involuntarily, his whole body shaking uncontrollably.

Immediately afterwards, Miyazaki Yu casually flicked his wrist, and with a snap, his misaligned right hand was put back in place.

"After you get home, buy some medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, then take some anti-inflammatory medicine for a few days, and rest for half a month and it will be fine. Remember, you didn't see us today, understand?"

Mante was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed. He hurriedly bowed and scraped to Miyazaki Yu, then ran off into the distance and disappeared into the depths of the alley.

Seeing Xiaolan's worried look, Miyazaki Yu sighed softly. Sometimes, being too kind is a bad thing, as it makes it easy for bad guys to take advantage of you.

He took out a handkerchief and wiped his blood-stained hands clean before stepping forward to hold Xiaolan's hand. Xiaolan's fingers were slender and well-proportioned, but they were slightly cool at the moment.

"Xiao Lan, I know that I have been using violence to solve problems along the way, which makes you feel a little reluctant, but you must understand that eliminating bad people is the best way to save good people."

It's like a murderer; if he isn't eliminated in time, then once he continues to kill, no matter how he's tried, the people he killed can never be brought back to life.

Now you know what happened on the plane. Not only the hijackers, but also the flight attendants, air marshals, and the captain and first officer—all the crew members were part of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation.

These people wear the cloak of the judiciary, but in reality, they are more difficult to deal with than criminals. Because of this cloak, it is almost impossible to deal with them using legal methods.

Imagine how things would have turned out if I hadn't intervened. They used such despicable methods to plunder scientists from another country. All the passengers would have been taken to a secret military base in Los Angeles by the so-called hijackers, and then the two scientists would have been transferred away.

The other passengers who experienced this incident will all die in the so-called air crash they orchestrated, and their identities will disappear.

You can imagine what would happen to these passengers who were of no value to them. They lost their identities, died inexplicably, and the best outcome was being stuck on the military base for life. But if these people wanted to be even safer and leave no trace, then their only option was death!

Xiaolan's pupils suddenly contracted. These words were too impactful; every word was like a sharp sword, striking Xiaolan's heart.

"Enough, you brat! Why are you telling Xiaolan all this? Xiaolan is just a high school girl. These cruel things are not something she should know!"

Kogoro's love for his daughter runs deep.

I couldn't bear to see Xiaolan's heart suffer any kind of blow.

But he forgot that Xiaolan was actually much stronger and braver than he imagined.

"I know, Xiaoyu, and there's something I need to remind you. I'm the daughter of the famous detective Kogoro Mouri and the daughter of the great lawyer Eri Kisaki. Although you've been protecting me all along, I'm not the kind of weak girl you think I am. I'm a Taekwondo master who strikes fear into the hearts of many!"

So I can totally handle the current situation, and I know that you have already restrained your methods for my sake. If I hadn't been by your side, you probably would have killed all those criminals on the plane that day.

However, you're absolutely right; they truly deserved to die. I have no sympathy for them. The only thing I want to do right now is rescue Sonoko. Anyone who dares to harm Sonoko is my enemy, and I will never let them get away with it!

Seeing Ran's determined gaze, Miyazaki Yu smiled slightly and pulled Ran into his arms.

"What's wrong, Xiaoyu? Daddy's still here!"

Kogoro Mouri coughed and said, "These young people nowadays just take advantage of old people's poor eyesight. Why is my night blindness acting up again? Honestly!"

Miyazaki Yu chuckled: "It seems that Uncle also agrees with my decision."

Xiaolan blushed.

"You guys are so mean! Dad does the same thing, really!"

After the two of them played around for a while, the tense atmosphere dissipated considerably. Seeing that both of them looked tired, Miyazaki Yu felt a pang of heartache.

I haven't had a proper rest for two days in a row. Even an iron man can't keep up.

"We now have an important clue, but there's no use being impatient. Let's find a hotel to rest now and look for more clues tomorrow."

Ran and Kogoro both agreed. This matter was far more complicated than they had imagined. If it weren't for Miyazaki Yu, who possessed a spirit cat and extraordinary abilities, finding this place would have been an impossible task.

After settling Ran in, Miyazaki Yu came out of Ran's room and saw Kogoro Mouri waiting for him.

"I know you'll definitely go see that police chief tonight. He's definitely one of the insiders. Although I know that with your abilities, there's no problem, and you must have already made some preparations, I still want to remind you to be careful!"

Miyazaki Yu was slightly taken aback; his efforts had actually been seen through.

He looked directly at Kogoro Mouri and nodded solemnly:

"Uncle Mori, don't worry, I will arrange everything and will not let Ran get hurt in any way."

Watching him leave, Kogoro Mouri stretched and a smile appeared on his face.

"Xiao Lan, although this brat is a bit of a womanizer, still thinking about that girl in the garden even though he has you, it seems that my choice was right. As long as he's here, no one can hurt you in the slightest. I should go enjoy my dinner now. This kid is really generous. I'm going to enjoy this feast."

He then opened the door and went inside.

Meanwhile, inside the villa, two figures, one tall and one short, were searching for something, but they found nothing.

"Hattori, it seems this place has been thoroughly cleaned up, leaving no useful clues."

The speaker was a child wearing a blue suit with a bow tie around his neck; it was Conan. The other person beside him was, of course, Heiji Hattori.

"That's right, the cleaning was done very professionally, leaving no bloodstains or signs of a fight. This makes it even more difficult to find clues about the killer based on those traces. But sometimes, no clue is still a clue, and I think you've probably guessed that."

Conan nodded: "That's right. Those police officers who came to investigate the case are very suspicious. They obviously know something, but they don't dare to continue investigating, so they pretend to be deaf and dumb. If we want to know the truth, we need to find out the reason behind it."

Chapter 487 Vermouth's Methods (3rd Update!)

It must be said that these two are indeed extremely skilled detectives.

It's quite remarkable that the two of them were able to find this villa and the primary crime scene shortly after they got off the plane, with very few clues.

Moreover, the two not only found this place, but also deduced clues, demonstrating exceptional reasoning abilities.

However, neither of them showed any excitement at this moment.

"That's what we say, but it's going to be much harder to continue the investigation. If there are any major hidden dangers in this matter, it will be very difficult to get the truth from the police. And there's another thing that's also very concerning."

Conan and Heiji Hattori always seem to be on the same wavelength, and one of them chimed in:

"That's right. Judging from all the signs, Miyazaki Yu and Ran didn't go to the police station, but went somewhere else. With Miyazaki Yu's abilities, it's unlikely that he didn't think about the police's interference. However, you overlooked one thing, which is the hijacking incident."

Based on our reasoning from the beginning, it was Miyazaki Hayao who resolved the hijacking incident and, with those problematic hijackers, caused turmoil in the United States. No one else could have done that.

However, his actions will inevitably provoke dissatisfaction from the US authorities. Given the FBI's capabilities, knowing his intelligence would be a matter of minutes. In other words, unless they are out of their minds, they will not openly and easily turn against Miyazaki Yu. But it is quite normal for them to do some underhanded things.

Perhaps Miyazaki Hayao and Uncle Mori were deceived by false clues.

After listening to Conan's reasoning, Heiji Hattori nodded in agreement.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, but it's a bit of a misunderstanding. Not underestimating any opponent is what a detective should do. We agreed when we came that our goal was to rescue Sonoko before Miyazaki Yu, to complete a brilliant operation, and to prove the honor of us detectives."

So I think we should be cautious at this point. The most likely scenario is that this guy has already obtained some new clue that we don't know about, and we need to act quickly.

A sense of urgency also rose in Conan's heart.

He had always been suppressed by Miyazaki Yu, but there was nothing he could do. Everything he was proud of had been a complete defeat.

Despite his pride in his reasoning skills, he lost many times.

As for other abilities, they were completely outmatched. Even their parents, who personally intervened, were easily exposed by the other party. This made their usually proud father somewhat unable to accept it, and he was relegated to the background several times.

This time, he absolutely cannot afford to lose again!

Under the dim lights, a black sedan slowly drove into the community. Inside the car sat the community's police chief, Hines.

He sat in the car, feeling somewhat drowsy. He had just attended a unique party that had left him feeling very happy. The enjoyment of the upper class was indeed top-notch.

As a police chief with real power, although his rank is not very high, his power is considerable, so this position is very lucrative.

Recalling the graceful figures at the party, even though my body was exhausted, I still felt a surge of heat rising between my legs.

A fresh and beautiful body can always bring a fresh experience, which revitalizes his somewhat greasy body.

He lit a cigarette, took a few deep breaths, and then sprayed it onto his clothes. This wasn't ordinary cigarette; it was a special product that could effectively remove odors.

When sprayed on the body, it only leaves a faint smell of smoke, but it can eliminate most odors, especially the smell of various bodily fluids.

This cigarette costs fifty dollars, and its effect is much better than that of lime juice, without any flaws.
