After receiving the memories related to "The Art of Fear," Suzuki Seimei turned to look at Director Tsugawa beside him, a strange glint in his eyes.

An eerie light, invisible to the naked eye, shot out from Suzuki Seimei's eyes and entered Tsugawa's body.

"Squeak, squeak..."

While dealing with the police's questioning, Director Tsugawa suddenly heard a strange sound coming from behind him and instinctively turned around to look.

Two bluish-purple hands covered in lividity slowly opened the elevator door, and Tamada Kazuo, with his neck twisted and a long tongue sticking out, crawled out of the elevator in an extremely bizarre posture.

?)?Д?(

Director Tsugawa's pupils constricted, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end. He was so terrified that he fell to the ground with a thud, screaming frantically, "Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! I didn't want to kill you, you forced me to, you forced me to..."

The reason why Director Tsugawa looked as terrible as a hanged ghost was because he was not only a drug dealer, but also a drug addict, supporting his addiction by selling drugs.

People who use drugs for a long time will not only be physically weak, but their mental state will also be far worse than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, when faced with Suzuki Seimei's "Fear Technique," Director Tsugawa had absolutely no power to resist and could not distinguish between illusion and reality at all.

Director Tsugawa's sudden outburst startled everyone present, with Ayumi and the others instinctively hiding behind Conan.

Inspector Megure glanced at the frantically waving Tsugawa, then shifted his gaze to the direction of the elevator, which Takagi feared. He instructed Inspector Takagi and the others, "Takagi, you guys check the elevator. I suspect Mr. Tamada's body is hidden inside."

"Hidden in the elevator? But Inspector Megure, we just came up in the elevator, and there was nothing in it!"

"Idiot! Of course it wouldn't be hidden in such an obvious place. I suspect that Mr. Tamada's body was hidden in the elevator shaft, or on top of the elevator that we can't see."

Inspector Megure is, after all, a veteran detective. If he wasn't certain that Kazuo Tamada had been murdered, he might have overlooked these hidden corners.

But now, seeing how terrified Director Tsugawa looked, he knew there was something wrong with the elevator, and of course he wouldn't overlook the elevator shaft and the places on top of the elevator where people could hide.

Under the careful search of Officer Takagi and his team, they quickly discovered the male corpse hidden above the elevator, whose eyes were wide open in death. It was none other than Tamada Kazuo, who had been missing for two days.

Ayumi stared at the corpse for a moment, then turned to look at the curator, Tsugawa, who was still screaming madly. She couldn't help but grab Conan's clothes tightly, and said with some fear, "Could he have really seen something evil?"

!!!

Upon hearing this, Genta and Mitsuhiko stiffened and instinctively moved behind Suzuki Seimei.

Although Genta and the others didn't really believe in demons and ghosts, the fact that Director Tsugawa suddenly went crazy and screamed, and that the police actually found a body in the elevator, was just too much like a vengeful spirit from a horror movie.

┐(?~?)┌

Conan shrugged helplessly and said, "You guys shouldn't think such nonsense. How could there be such a thing as a vengeful spirit in this world? If vengeful spirits really existed, then solving those murder cases wouldn't require the police and detectives. Wouldn't it be simpler to just find an Onmyoji?"

Conan is a staunch atheist, so of course he wouldn't believe in demons and monsters unless he saw them with his own eyes.

With great interest, Suzuki Haruaki countered, "Conan, if it wasn't due to being haunted by vengeful spirits, then why do you think Director Tsugawa suddenly went mad?"

"The explanation is quite simple. If I'm not mistaken, Director Tsugawa must have taken hallucinogenic drugs before, such as narcotics!"

As soon as Conan finished speaking, Inspector Chiba rushed over and reported with a serious expression, "Inspector Megure, we found more than 20 kilograms of drugs hidden in books in the library's storage room."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure's expression changed slightly. He then stroked his chin and pondered, "I see. If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Tamada must have accidentally discovered that Director Tsugawa was secretly selling drugs, which is why he was killed to silence him."

This guy, due to drug use, was hallucinating, which is why he mistakenly believed he saw Mr. Tamada's vengeful spirit and confessed without being asked.

Although Inspector Megure is not a special anti-drug police officer who arrests drug traffickers, he is very knowledgeable about the dangers of drugs and knows that this harmful substance can easily cause hallucinations.

Conan solemnly explained, "Look, even Inspector Megure said so. Director Tsugawa was hallucinating because he was using drugs. There are no vengeful spirits or ghosts in this world. You have to believe in science!"

(￣ ー￣)

When Suzuki Seimei saw that the three little ones had been successfully fooled by Conan, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

If it weren't for the fact that Suzuki Seimei had indeed lost three points of his mental energy, after listening to Conan's serious explanation, he would have almost doubted whether he had just used the "Fear Technique".

I don't believe you for a second! You old geezer, you're a wicked man!

Because of Suzuki Haruaki's secret intervention, Inspector Megure and his team discovered Tamada Kazuo's body ahead of time, and the insane Director Tsugawa was also taken back to the police station. Therefore, the Junior Detective League did not experience a midnight horror in the library as in the original story.

Bye-bye~ See you tomorrow!

After leaving the library, Suzuki Seimei said goodbye to Conan and the others, then rode the Giant Sword towards the Suzuki Estate.

Since acquiring the Giant Sword, Suzuki Seimei has rarely ridden in a van. He prefers to travel by Giant Sword and experience the joy of "flying on a sword."

Of course! Although Seimei Suzuki rarely rides in a nanny van anymore, it doesn't mean he doesn't need one.

Ryuichi Inoue would still quietly drive his van, following Seimei Suzuki at a leisurely pace, just in case he encountered any danger.

Kurosaki Tamaka would also sit in the nanny van on standby, ready to appear immediately whenever Suzuki Seimei needed her.

"what?"

As Suzuki Haruaki was hurrying along as usual, he suddenly noticed two slender figures sitting in a coffee shop next to the street, with the words "Check-in Available" floating above their heads.

Chapter 77 Shiho Miyano and Akemi Miyano (Please vote and add to your favorites)

Suzuki Seimei suddenly exerted force with his feet, and with the Giant Sword, he performed a beautiful drift, coming to a steady stop in front of the coffee shop.

Wearing a light green casual outfit and sporting long, straight hair parted in a 3/7 ratio, Akemi Miyano smiled gently and said, "Shiho, isn't the new latte art coffee at this cafe adorable?"

(* ￣︶￣)

Looking at the pink sprite, Jigglypuff, meticulously drawn with strawberry-flavored milk, Shiho Miyano couldn't help but forget her troubles in the laboratory. Her heart was instantly soothed, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Sister Yamei!"

Just as the two sisters were enjoying their hard-won chat, a childish voice suddenly rang out, and a small figure ran to Miyano Akemi's side.

When Miyano Akemi saw the person who came, she was slightly taken aback at first, and then asked curiously, "Seimei, what are you doing here?"

"I was just on my way home and happened to be passing by here. I didn't expect to see Sister Yamei here."

The reason why Suzuki Haruaki called Miyano Akemi that was because her alias was Hirota Masami.

The reason Suzuki Haruaki was able to get to know Miyano Akemi was because he was one of the clients of the bank where Miyano Akemi worked.

Although Suzuki Seimei only had a little over 20 million yen in his bank account as pocket money, it was still a considerable amount of savings for an ordinary person.

Moreover, Suzuki Seimei was the young master of the Suzuki Group. Even if he had only met Miyano Akemi a few times, it was enough to leave an indelible impression on her.

Suzuki Haruaki stared at Miyano Shiho's pretty face for a while, then took Miyano Akemi's hand and asked, "Ayami-neechan, who is this pretty lady?"

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Miyano Akemi. You are rewarded with a copy of 'Gentle Heart'. You can claim it at any time."

As Suzuki Seimei silently uttered "use," a strange aura suddenly appeared around him, making people unconsciously want to kiss, hug, and lift him up high.

Akemi Miyano smiled and patted Haruaki Suzuki's head, then introduced, "This is my younger sister, Miya... Hirota Shiho."

"Hello, Shiho-neechan~"

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Haruaki raised his cute little face and gave Miyano Shiho a bright smile.

Kawaii~~

Hello~

With the passive skill of "Gentle Heart", Suzuki Seimei looks like he has a built-in beauty filter. Even Shiho Miyano couldn't help but reach out and pat his little head.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Shiho Miyano. You are rewarded with a basic-level 'Potion Concoction' manual, which you can claim at any time."

Skill Name: Potion Concoction

Type: Active Skill

Level: Basic

Effect: Users can concoct various low-level magic potions with unique effects based on different drug properties.

Consumption: All things (including but not limited to medicinal herbs, flesh and blood, excrement, mental energy, physical strength, etc.)

Cooldown time: None

Note: Beware of poisoning!

"Shhhhh..."

After absorbing the skill memories of the basic level "Potion Concoction", a glint of light flashed deep in Suzuki Seimei's eyes.

Judging from the memories that Suzuki Seimei just absorbed, these most basic memories contain detailed descriptions of hundreds of common medicines. His understanding of these medicines even surpasses that of a traditional Chinese medicine doctor with decades of experience.

In addition to these basic drug introductions and memories, it also includes dozens of recipes for preparing low-level magic potions.

Suzuki Seimei only needed to follow the steps in these prescriptions, using different ingredients in specific proportions, to create relatively simple low-level magic potions.

However, the dozens of potion recipes that Suzuki Seimei mastered were only the simplest and most common recipes, designed to make it easier for beginners to master the skill of "Potion Making".

True potion masters are not limited to so-called "prescriptions." They can concoct various potions with magical effects based on the different properties of different drugs and in different proportions.

If Suzuki Seimei could master the perfected "Potion Concoction," he could even directly research a potion that could turn Conan back into Shinichi Kudo, or perfect a drug that could make people young again.

Although it seemed like a long time had passed when Suzuki Seimei absorbed these skill memories, only a few seconds had actually elapsed, so it did not arouse the suspicion of Miyano Shiho and the others.

"Shiho-neechan, so you like Jigglypuff~"

When Suzuki Haruka noticed the pink Jigglypuff latte art on the coffee, he quickly took off his backpack, reached inside, and pulled out an adorable Jigglypuff keychain, handing it to Miyano Shiho. "This is a limited edition spirit keychain. Since Shiho-neechan likes Jigglypuff, this Jigglypuff keychain is for you!"
