Conan: What's wrong with my Yan Shuangying's painting style?

No matter its history of making a fortune, business operations, or other aspects, it is completely unworthy of sharing a table with the Suzuki Group. It even had no collusion with underworld forces in Hokkaido. It is estimated that it would have failed in its transformation and gone bankrupt and restructured long ago.

Could it be that this time the Fujiang chaebol is relying on its path dependence and using its amazing wisdom to perform a magnificent feat for everyone?

This is not surprising——

During the three months he'd been shrinking, Conan had already witnessed the diversity of human species. For example, there was someone who wanted to destroy the Beika Town Municipal Building because he thought something was wrong with it, and there was someone who installed a bomb on a train that would blow up the entire train if it were to reduce speed.

He only needs to solve the case by reasoning, while the prosecutor will have to suffer a lot when looking for evidence to prove the criminal's motive.

"Hey! Kudo! Look here, I was wondering where you were, it turns out you're the unlucky guy trapped on the mountain!"

A very ominous and careless voice sounded.

The Death God Elementary School student's blood pressure instantly rose.

He looked at Ran Mouri, who was instantly stressed when she heard the word "Kudo", and then quickly waved towards Heiji Hattori, indicating that Heiji should say something to make up for it.

Hattori Heiji then remembered that it seemed like a month had passed and this bastard still hadn't revealed his identity to his childhood sweetheart.

Seriously, why is there such a thing to hide? Will my childhood sweetheart punch me to death if I confess?

The famous detective from Osaka could only laugh it off and let the matter go.

Then he took Conan in his arms, found a stairwell to go in, and started talking about what happened today.

Conan was also curious about what happened today, so he leaned against the wall and listened slowly. It was not until Hattori Heiji mentioned the conversation with Yan Shuangying that Conan frowned.

"Only the court can judge the crimes of others and decide the punishment. Private individuals are not qualified to do such things."

"I admit that the Black Organization does fit the description of Sherlock Holmes's hypothesis of 'the law cannot punish'. Since the police can't catch them, they naturally can't bring them to trial either."

"But ordinary criminals haven't escaped the legal system at all. They're still within the reach of police officers. So, I still think what Yan Shuangying did was wrong."

"You are the son of the Osaka Police Chief. You should have a deeper understanding of this than I do—"

"You actually approve of his behavior?"

Hattori Heiji was somewhat surprised by the words of the Shinigami elementary school student.

"No, buddy, shouldn't I be asking you this? I'm the son of the Chief of the Osaka Police Headquarters, and you're the son of a renowned mystery novelist. Why are you even more obsessed with this than I am?"

He shook his head, knowing that Kudo Shinichi was probably stuck in a rut and not being able to adapt.

This guy seems to have nothing else to do except reasoning. If he hadn't stopped him the last time they met, the suspect might have chosen to commit suicide because his defenses were broken. Why does it feel like Kudo treats reasoning as a kind of puzzle game?

Hattori Heiji answered casually.

"Why not listen to what Hercule Poirot, the great detective who is as famous as Sherlock Holmes, did?"

"In the book Curtain, the murderer constantly instigates and encourages others to commit crimes through various indirect means. It is a true 'perfect crime'. Even if the detective catches him, he cannot be convicted and sentenced. Guess what Poirot did?"

"Poirot went ahead and assassinated the murderer."

Said the famous detective from Osaka.

"Kudo, Yan Shuangying is the real-world Hercule Poirot. If he were to encounter the Orient Express murder case, he would definitely choose to protect the murderers on the Orient Express just like Poirot did."

"In the Veil, he will also directly eliminate the unpunished murderer like Poirot."

"You should think about this carefully—has the crime rate in Beika Town decreased because of his presence?"

————The answer is yes.

Yan Shuangying is in Beihua Town. All the gangs within a hundred miles have moved away, and only those who are stubborn continue to commit crimes.

Like the habitual counterfeiter [Silver Fox], the famous international wanted criminal [Scooping], [Pramya] mentioned by Hattori Heiji, and criminals like [Gin] and [Vodka] of the Black Organization.

Conan pushed his plain glasses and a white light flashed through the lenses.

He didn't argue with Hattori Heiji about this anymore; he just said it.

"I'll help you check [Pramya]. Coincidentally, my father sent a new computer over, and it should be arriving at Dr. Agasa's research institute soon. Using that should be quick."

"A new computer? Why does it need to be shipped? Can't I just buy it at the computer mall?"

Hattori Heiji muttered.

Then, Conan said.

"This is the latest high-performance computer sent from the United States' [Sindora Foundation]. They say it's intended to assist Professor Agasa in completing some of the data for an AI model called [Noah's Ark]." (Note)

"I think we should be able to find out more using that computer."

Chapter 98: Is Kogoro Mori a Clumsy Detective? (5/5)

“Artificial intelligence…”

Hattori Heiji scratched the back of his head. He felt a little confused about this word because most people still use flip phones.

As a result, on the other side of the ocean, even this kind of artificial intelligence that only exists in science fiction is about to be successfully developed. It has to be said that he has a feeling that he is out of touch with the times.

Suddenly, someone called Conan's name outside the stairwell. Conan didn't need to listen carefully to know whose voice it was.

Without a doubt, it was Mao Lilan.

The Shinigami elementary school student gave Hattori Heiji a look, indicating that he should not let the cat out of the bag this time, and then ran out with a smile.

He said in a clipped voice.

"Sister Xiaolan, I'm here!"

Although it was not the first time he heard Conan's clip sound, Hattori Heiji still shuddered subconsciously and shook his head.

It would be better to confess this matter as soon as possible, otherwise, if he gets into trouble too much, Kudo might even forget that he is the high school detective Kudo Shinichi, not the elementary school student Edogawa Conan.

He folded his hands behind his head and followed him out of the stairwell.

I saw that Suzuki Sonoko, who had gone to other places to call her parents to ask about the situation, had returned and was chatting with Maori Kogoro. When she saw Maori Ran coming with Conan, she waved towards them, as if she was afraid that they might not see it——

Most people wouldn't think that this method is needed to make something visible at a distance of less than ten meters, right?

However, Suzuki Sonoko has always had a rather eccentric personality, and as a friend since childhood, Conan has become accustomed to this.

"Sonoko told us that Uncle Suzuki and Aunt Suzuki wanted her to go home immediately because they were worried that the people who attacked the Tokyo National Stadium might attack Sonoko... I plan to send Sonoko home."

"Conan, are you going to Sonoko's house with me, or going back to the office with dad?"

Ran Mouri whispered to the Shinigami elementary school student next to her for his opinion. She knew that if she didn't respond, Suzuki Sonoko would not be angry, because Suzuki Sonoko's eyes were probably on Hattori Heiji behind her.

"Ah, I plan to live with Brother Hattori at Professor Agasa's house..."

"Huh? You're going with this guy? Is he reliable?"

Although Conan's answer to Mouri Ran was not loud, it still attracted Mouri Kogoro's attention instantly. He remembered that Hattori Heiji fed Conan alcohol when he visited the office for the first time and almost forced the elementary school student into the clinic.

Why is he still planning to go with this young guy who calls himself a famous detective?

Kogoro Mouri looked at Conan suspiciously, then looked at Hattori Heiji behind him.

"What are you talking about, uncle? Don't you know [Kansai's Hattori, Kanto's Kudo]? I'm a rare high school student detective, don't worry."

Hattori Heiji smiled, and when Sonoko heard the words "high school student detective", she suddenly calmed down.

Her eyes fell on the other person's face, and the more she looked, the more she felt that he looked like Kudo Shinichi. When she thought of how Mao Li Ran had been left alone by Kudo for so many days, her heart, which had been a little hot, suddenly turned cold again.

Listening to the conversation between the two parties, Suzuki Sonoko touched her chin and suddenly clapped her hands.

"Uncle, why don't you come over to my house? Mom said we have some midnight snacks!"

"Since little Conan is planning to live with this famous detective who looks like a tanned Kudo Shinichi, there's no need for you to go back to the office alone, uncle?"

————Amazing wisdom.

The Shinigami elementary school student nodded repeatedly.

He only breathed a sigh of relief when Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki got into a car protected by men in black from the Suzuki Group, left the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and headed towards the Suzuki family.

Then he put his hands in the pockets of his blue suit, shrugged, and said.

"Then let's go too, Hattori. You can't take me back in the police car this time, right?"

"This isn't Osaka. How can we get you a new police car here?"

The two famous detectives from Kanto and Kansai walked out of the gate of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department while chatting.

At this moment, on the second-floor corridor of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, a male high school student wearing clothes similar to Sherlock Holmes's was leaning on the railing, looking at the back of Edogawa Conan.

He said as the circling hawk landed on his shoulder.

"It's strange. Why do I always see this child at the scene in Beika Town's case reports?"

When Hakuba arrived in Tokyo, he felt confused for the first time.

This elementary school student in a blue suit always gave him a strange feeling, as if an adult's soul was stuffed into the body of an elementary school student, but he had to pretend to be an elementary school student to tease others.

He also thought that Hattori Heiji stayed in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to meet Kudo Shinichi, who had not appeared in public for a long time.

It turns out that he is the one who came to pick up the "Sleeping Detective" Mouri Kogoro from Tokyo. Mouri Kogoro doesn't seem to be as powerful as the rumors say. Is he really a famous detective?

Hakuba thought of several other famous detectives he had met.

Armchair detective, gourmet detective, coroner detective————

No matter how hard those famous detectives who are already adults try to hide their shortcomings, they will always reveal some of the sharpness that is unique to famous detectives, but he can't see anything in Kogoro Mouri.

If it weren't for Kogoro Mori's great wisdom and superb skills, it would have been just a show without any achievements.

"Edogawa Conan? Well, it's a bit troublesome to investigate if he's a minor."

Bai Ma Tan whispered softly.

He turned to look at the police officer who came out with documents next to him, and the police officer said seriously.

"All the paper materials you requested are here."

"There are quite a few. Do you need me to help you move them into your room?"

"Well, that's troublesome."

Bai Matan nodded.

He took a last glance at Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan who had already gotten into the car.

Then, he turned around and walked towards the temporary room he wanted, intending to combine the information in the database with the information on paper files to find out the true identity of [Pramya] in one go.

This kind of carpet search will take at least a day.
