Until last Christmas, when Ayasaki's parents ran off with the money, leaving him all alone, Hayami Shirou immediately rushed to Ayasaki's house and had a chance encounter with him not far from his home.

The scenes and lines were all carefully designed.

Glancing at Hayami Shirou's smug expression, Sakurai Shirou instantly understood what he was thinking and couldn't help but shake his head:

"Why can't you have that kind of drive and patience when it comes to relationships?"

“Because there’s no one worth it for me to do this,” Hayami Shirou sighed. “I’ve always hoped that a young woman would let me experience what love at first sight is like. But in the end, it seems that only a little girl is chasing after me.”

"Could it be that they cleared out in advance?" Kitahara Shirou suddenly interjected. "The pretty girls who might have caught your attention were all chased away by Lady Sanzenin beforehand, so you didn't see a single one."

"Impossible! How much effort would that take? Even the Sanzenin family couldn't afford such a large-scale operation."

Hayami Shirou paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Moreover, it's not that I'm underestimating her, but although the shut-in rich girl is surprisingly proactive when it comes to romance, she can't possibly go to that extent. She's not some kind of yandere character."

"Then how do you explain the pursuit over the past year?" Kitahara Shirou asked again.

"It's just kids playing around, a sudden whim, and this kind of thing is very common."

Although he didn't seem to care, Hayami Shirou couldn't help but think about this possibility.

After a long while, he shook his head slightly again.

Impossible, the young lady isn't that decisive.

Even if she has changed from what I remember, old habits die hard, and she can't change much more.

Chapter 391 I Wish to Be Immortal

Chapter 391, Section 392: I Wish to Live Forever

“From your experience, I see absolutely no need to fake your death.” Kitahara Shirou chuckled and shook his head. “Besides, as a world-renowned celebrity, the sudden death would have a huge impact.”

"Well... it's just a little joke the famous detective played on the world, it won't spread widely. Just like Shinichi Kudo, the news of his death has been circulating for five years, and countless people still think he's not dead, right?"

"Shinichi Kudo, it's been five years already, and he still hasn't destroyed the brewery?"

"Don't even mention five years, he still won't succeed in ten years."

Hayami Shirou shook his head slightly, denying it:

"The brewery is a transnational criminal organization, but Shinichi Kudo is just using Kogoro Mouri as a shield to solve cases domestically."

"As a child, there are too many places he can't go. With such a passive investigation method, how much information he can gather depends entirely on luck."

"If this could wipe out the distillery, it would be a joke."

"You seem to dislike him a lot?" Kitahara Shirou's face unconsciously showed a slight smile.

"Competitors are bound to be enemies. Tokyo is only so big, so conflicts are bound to happen often. Haven't you already seen my memories?"

Although Shiro Hayami was more famous, he was still too young, and some people would entrust Kogoro Mouri with tasks based on the idea that "a young man is not reliable."

In fact, many people think that Kogoro Mouri is more capable of solving cases.

"I have to take the initiative to find murder cases. If it weren't for the requests from the Metropolitan Police Department, I probably wouldn't encounter a murder case for months."

"But even if Shinichi Kudo does nothing, just walking around the streets, he can still encounter two or three murder cases."

"For a detective, this physique is simply a perfect match."

Kitahara Shirou was speechless for a long time before bursting into laughter.

"Some people actually envy that kind of plague-like constitution. Isn't it better to be a normal person?"

“No good. As a detective, you’re not far from retirement when you’re away from cases. I feel my fame can go even further, to become the world’s number one detective, surpassing Sherlock Holmes.”

A hint of longing unconsciously appeared in Hayami Shirou's eyes, and his voice rose a few decibels.

"I hope that even thousands of years from now, when people mention the profession of detective, they will still think of my name."

"Haha... To actually want to surpass a fictional character, that's pretty outrageous. But I like it, and I wish you success soon."

Kitahara Shirou unconsciously thought:

Should I also set such a goal? To become the world's number one singer.

But the crucial point is that I sing terribly badly, so I can't even take the first step.

Well, let's just continue to support Setsuna's singing and hope she can go further in her career.

……

Detective World.

As a household name detective, Shirou Hayami is always recognized when he walks down the street.

As a result, he developed superb makeup skills that made him unrecognizable to others.

However, makeup is just makeup, and it can't compare to a transformation.

After sharing the power of the other Shirous, he immediately abandoned his original plan, disguised himself as the human form of Rimuru, and infiltrated to investigate.

The other Shirous all bear some resemblance to Emiya Shirou, whether it's their face shape or their eyes.

The only exception is the Slime, whose human form is modeled after Shizue Izawa and bears no resemblance to Shirou Emiya.

The Sanzenin family is a prestigious and leading conglomerate in the country, with several smaller entities operating under its umbrella. While not strictly conglomerates, these smaller entities, if united, could rival the Sanzenin family.

The Zeyue family is one of them.

Several years ago, when Hayami Shirou first heard this surname, he didn't think much of it; a surname doesn't mean much.

However, when he suddenly heard Ze Yuezhi's name from his client yesterday afternoon, he immediately realized that this was a major case that could shock the world.

Although the client's request was only for a tax investigation, as a renowned detective, he naturally couldn't be so hasty in handling the matter.

Upon hearing this name, Hayami Shirou decided to eradicate the Sawakoshi family from the ground up.

To avoid being prepared in advance, a plan to fake his death was devised.

However, the plan has now changed, so there's no need to fake my death anymore.

Even walking down the street in Rimuru's appearance, he still attracted a lot of attention.

"Isn't this look too conspicuous? Should we change it to Aizen's appearance?"

While I was pondering, my phone suddenly rang.

Hayami Shirou stood on the side of the street, glanced down, and saw that the caller ID showed Ayasaki Hayate's name.

"Xiao Sa, is there any result yet?"

"Hayami-sensei, why does your voice sound a little strange? You're Hayami-sensei, right?"

"It's me. This is a voice-changing technique I just learned. Don't worry about it. Just tell me the investigation results."

"Ok."

Ayasaki Hayate on the other end of the phone was visibly taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and said again:

“Hayami-sensei, I’ve already met Makoto Ito. He seems to be just an ordinary high school boy, nothing special.”

"You're being too careless. That's no ordinary high school boy. Go on."

"According to my investigation, he does not have a girlfriend and has never dated any girls."

“Keep an eye on him. Don’t let him get a girlfriend before I’m done with him. No, don’t let him have any contact with any women.”

"Ah...?" Ayasaki Hayate exclaimed involuntarily, then quickly recovered and said, "No problem, leave it to me!"

Although he didn't understand why there was such a task, his experience over the past year told him that there was absolutely no way that Hayami-sensei's arrangements would go wrong.

Therefore, there must be some key point that you can't see yourself.

After hanging up the phone, Hayami Shirou looked up at the mansion in the distance and muttered to himself:

"Then, I'll begin on my end too."

As the saying goes, when an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.

Given Ze Yuezhi's level of perversion, no one in the entire Ze Yue family can escape involvement.

However, promiscuous relationships are merely a moral issue, and the law doesn't usually impose long penalties.

Therefore, other evidence is needed to completely destroy the Zeyue family.

When Hayami Shirou entered the alley and then reappeared, he had already entered stealth mode.

This is Shirou Makino's unique superpower, allowing him to move freely even in Academy City. In this modern society, he is virtually invincible.

They lightly leaped over the wall and slowly entered the inner courtyard.

A few seconds later, a new method suddenly popped into his mind.

'With my current abilities, it seems unnecessary to conduct a thorough investigation, right? Hypnotizing everyone in the Ze Yue family would easily yield evidence and confessions, wouldn't it?'

'Why complicate things when you can solve a problem simply and easily?'

Chapter 392 It's too late to sever ties now.

Chapter 392, Section 393: It's too late to sever ties now.

That day, during lunch break, the loudspeakers at Sakakino Academy suddenly blared.

"Please invite Makoto Ito, Sekai Saionji... and a few other students to the chairman's office. Again, please, Makoto..."

As the broadcast started, Makoto Ito put down his half-eaten bento and walked toward the chairman's office, puzzled.

Inside the office, besides the chairman of the board, the homeroom teacher, and a few girls who were either familiar or unfamiliar with each other, there were also three police officers.

Upon seeing the police, Makoto Ito instinctively stopped in his tracks, his entire body tensing up.

"Ito-san, we need your cooperation in investigating a case. Please come with us."

The chairman of Sakakino Academy hesitated for a few seconds before speaking:

"Officer, taking these students away in a police car would not be good for them or the school. If you need any clues from them, you might as well say so here."

The police whispered a few words in his ear, and the chairman's face immediately lit up with joy.

"Oh, so it was Hayami-san's arrangement. I'm relieved. I'll take care of things at school..."
