Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

"Ugh..." The moment Conan met Chu Zhong's icy gaze, he was instantly overwhelmed by immense fear.

His body trembled slightly uncontrollably, his face was full of fear, his eyes quickly filled with tears, and he made a pleading sound like a small animal whimpering.

Chu Zhong sneered: "Cry? Crying is a time-limited activity!"

If it's a cute little girl, tears might work. Conan? Forget it.

"Ten, nine, eight..."

As the countdown began, Conan wiped away his tears and walked behind Ran, the martial arts fanatic, pointing to her lower back.

Chu Zhong immediately stepped forward and slightly lifted the corner of her clothes, and immediately saw a white spot the size of a fingernail stuck to the waist of the back of her trousers.

After tearing it off, a gentle squeeze reveals tiny electronic components with varying textures hidden inside.

"anything else?!"

Chu Zhong still had a stern face.

"N-nothing..." Conan looked scared and shook his head hurriedly, taking the opportunity to steal a glance at Chu Zhong while wiping away his tears.

But by sheer coincidence, their guilty gazes met Chu Zhong's all-knowing eyes.

The next second, Chu Zhong opened the wardrobe and took out a clothes hanger.

Conan quickly corrected himself: "In...in other rooms..."

Chu Zhong, however, didn't care about anything else. He grabbed Conan, swung the clothes hanger, and started beating his thick-skinned buttocks.

"I gave you a chance to confess, and you still dare to play tricks on me?!"

"I'll teach you a lesson today!"

He's given him several chances already, but Conan still insists on using these annoying tricks.

"..." Conan, who was being beaten, endured the pain without uttering a sound.

Although his body was that of a child, his soul was that of an adult. Being held down and spanked, especially in front of Sonoko, Ayako, and Ran, was incredibly embarrassing.

If he couldn't bear the pain and cried out, Conan would probably be even more exasperated.

Chu Zhong intends to punish Conan, who never learns his lesson, by combining classical physics with embarrassing behavior.

Let's see if this brat dares to plant a bug again next time!

Since the bug was stuck to Ran's clothes, Conan must have heard the sounds of them kissing and hugging in the room, as well as Ran's initiative to ask for it.

No wonder Conan's eyes were red when he opened the door earlier.

She was probably provoked and cried her heart out under the covers!

"Hit him! Hit him hard!!" Sonoko brandished her fist. "That wretched brat, eavesdropping on girls' conversations!"

Sonoko was furious when she thought about how Conan had overheard everything she and Ran had talked about in the room.

Fortunately, Xiaolan was like a merciless broken record at the time, so the brat didn't learn any information.

"Speaking of which, how did Chu-kun know that Conan had planted a bug?" Ayako asked at this moment.

The garden also cast curious glances at them.

Even Conan, who was being beaten, perked up his ears.

Chapter 99 Forced Confession

Chu Zhong then explained, "Professor Agasa is an excellent inventor, and Conan often goes to his house to play. Who knows what he might secretly take away?"

“Recalling Conan’s previous misdeeds and the prevalent voyeurism in society, I couldn’t help but become suspicious, so I decided to bluff him.”

"I didn't expect it, just as I thought..."

Japan has no cameras where they should be, but lots of them where they shouldn't be, leading to frequent reports of voyeurism.

Stories and films featuring voyeurism are bestsellers.

Chu Zhong strongly suspects that Conan's penchant for violating others' privacy is somewhat influenced by these things.

Using investigation as a pretext to commit acts of privacy violations.

"Ha, so young and already learning bad things!" Ayako looked at him with the same disdain one would give trash.

Sonoko was even more furious: "Who knows, that brat might have even planted listening devices in Ran's room!"

"Chu Jun is too kind, hitting him so lightly! How could Conan possibly learn his lesson?!"

"let me!"

As she spoke, Sonoko leaned closer.

Chu Zhong immediately increased the force of his swing on the clothes hanger, saying, "I'll teach Conan a lesson."

Sonoko is in a bad mood right now. If we let her come, she might hurt Conan without knowing her own strength.

In this instance, keeping Conan around is still useful...

However, even if they are truly crippled, it seems there are ways to deal with it...

Thinking of this, Chu Zhong showed no mercy and swung the thick wooden clothes hanger fiercely.

"what--!"

Conan immediately screamed in pain, his body convulsing uncontrollably with each blow.

Pain, grievance, resentment, shame, and indignation all turned into tears, welling up in my eyes...

"Woooooooo..."

Soon, Conan was being beaten so badly that he was howling and crying loudly.

After hitting him dozens more times, seeing that Conan's little face was red from crying, Chu Zhong felt that was enough and stopped.

After Conan wiped away his tears, he urged him to retrieve the listening devices from the other rooms.

Conan cried out in utter distress, "It hurts! I can't walk anymore!!"

As he spoke, he lay down on the ground, motionless, looking like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, refusing to cooperate.

Chu Zhong wasn't buying it. He immediately ordered the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan to go downstairs and find a green bandage.

"Conan, do you want to do it yourself, or should I help you?"

Chu Zhong sneered: "These bandages are very effective. If you continue to be uncooperative, I don't mind giving you another beating later!"

It was only when he thought of bandages that Chu Zhong showed no mercy.

Conan was ashamed of having his pants pulled down in front of so many people, so he quickly grabbed the green bandage and limped back to his room to get it bandaged.

A few minutes later, Conan, not wanting to be beaten again, obediently retrieved the listening devices from the other rooms.

Three identical miniature patch-type listening devices appeared in Chu Zhong's hands.

"Conan, I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself..."

Chu Zhong then handed the bugging device back to Conan, saying, "Find a way to plant the bugging device in the rooms of Ota Masaru, Takahashi Ryoichi, and Ikeda Chikako."

Upon hearing this order, Conan immediately gave a disdainful look, as if to say, 'Don't you also invade privacy? What right do you have to criticize me?'

Sonoko then spoke up, "That restless Ota Masaru certainly needs to be monitored, but the other two..."

Ayako also cast an inquiring glance at her, seemingly waiting for a reasonable explanation.

"One should always be wary of others... They are not like kind people."

Chu Zhong left only a simple sentence, and seeing that the sky outside was getting darker, he quickened his pace, grabbed his umbrella, and left the villa.

It was 3:15 p.m., but the sky was as dark as 6 p.m., and the nearby woods were completely dark as far as the eye could see.

Chu Zhong turned on his flashlight and circled the villa, quickly finding what he was looking for:

—The bandaged man's fresh footprints!

Footprints are easily left on muddy ground after an hour of rain.

Chu Zhong immediately took out paper and pen, and followed the footprints to record and trace the origin of the bandaged man...

At the same time, inside the villa.

dong dong dong-

Urged and threatened by Sonoko, Conan knocks on Ota Masaru's door.

"What is it?" Ota Katsumi opened the door and saw Conan, frowning slightly.

"Brother Ota, do you want to play cards together?" Conan asked expectantly, showing off the playing cards in his hand.

Ota Katsu waved his hand impatiently, "No interest! Go find someone else." He then closed the door.

Little did they know that while Conan was showing off the playing cards, he had already thrown a patch-type listening device into the room with his other hand.

dong dong dong-

Then, Conan used the same trick again, placing a bugging device in Chikako Ikeda's room.

As for Ryoichi Takahashi, he was currently guarding the second-floor stairwell with Kakutani.

"I'm bored anyway, so playing some cards might be a good idea."

Kakutani took the playing cards, and the three of them played together for a while. Soon after, he complained, "What a stupid kid. He can't even remember the basic rules."

"Go away, go away, go find something else to play with."

Kakutani snatches the playing cards and spends the time with Takahashi.

Little did they know, Conan

I just found an opportunity and secretly stuck the bug inside Takahashi's clothes on the back.

"So slow!"

After completing his mission and returning to his room, Conan was met with a disdainful remark from Sonoko.

"By the way, what did you use to eavesdrop?"

Under Sonoko's persistent questioning while waving a clothes hanger, Conan obediently took off his glasses and removed the temples.

"So even her nearsightedness was faked. What a scheming brat!"

Sonoko made another sarcastic remark, then hung her glasses behind her ear, listening in as she continued playing Ludo with Ran and Ayako to pass the time.

However, when rolling the dice, 'Ran' always manages to roll a six, repeatedly winning the game and leaving Sonoko and Ayako with virtually no gaming experience.

At 3:40 PM,

A noteworthy conversation was heard through the temples of the glasses:

Ota Katsumi: "Kakutani, Takahashi, let's go find that Ran Mouri and talk to her about defending the stairwell."

Kakutani: "Are you afraid that the woman won't be able to hold out and that the bandaged man will rush up?"

Ota Katsu: "That's right. She was already struggling to hold out against six attackers just now, let alone with seven attackers at four o'clock."

"That Chu Zhong guy is a coward who's afraid of death, and we don't know where he's gone. When it really matters, we'll have to rely on ourselves!"

Takahashi: "But... but do you mean we have to go downstairs to help? That's too dangerous..."

Ota Katsu: "Tch, Takahashi, you're still such a coward. Don't worry, I've already thought of a plan. We'll be upstairs later, and we'll just throw axes at the bandaged man rushing up the stairs!"

Kakutani: "That's a great idea!"

Ota Katsu: "But don't say anything for now. Wait until Ran Mouri begs me, then I'll tell you what to do!"

Kakutani: "Ota, you're being a bit... "

Ota Katsumi: "I told you! I didn't touch her at all. She suddenly attacked and injured me! And she colluded with that Chu Zhong to force me to confess under torture!"

Kakutani: "...Okay."

This conversation, unsurprisingly, was transmitted to Sonoko and Conan, who each had a pair of glasses on their sides, through the listening device.

"That bastard Ota Masaru! He's a complete scumbag!"

Sonoko was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

"He's not even as good as scum!" Conan exclaimed angrily.
