Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

After a moment, the two carefully surveyed their surroundings and, after confirming that the stranger had completely disappeared, they slowly lowered their guard.

"let's go!"

"But elder brother..."

"Shut up! The next time I see that guy, I'll make him pay!!!"

"Big brother, we..."

"He'd never guess we're still alive. We need to get back and thoroughly investigate that guy's identity!"

"big…"

Seeing his underling interrupt him again, Gin raised his gun with his remaining right arm and aimed it at Vodka's head.

"What exactly are you trying to say?!"

Staring at the gleaming gun barrels before him, Vodka, enduring the pain, whispered, "Brother, it looks like our car was blown up too..."

"..."

"..."

……

Longye in the sky looked down at his "masterpiece" and nodded.

At this moment, he seemed to understand Deidara's thoughts somewhat.

Of course, Gin and Vodka, who were not far from the explosion site, were also seen by Ryuno, but he didn't pay any attention to them.

He wasn't surprised that the two men had survived the explosion.

If Gin were so easy to kill, wouldn't he have died long ago?

Anyway, Ryūno didn't want to deal with Gin and Vodka right now.

Gin is one of the top villains in this world. If we take them out so soon, it will have a huge impact on the future.

Without Gin, the brewery is in serious trouble.

If the brewery is in trouble, wouldn't the ultimate secret of this world—APTX4869—and the brewery's true purpose simply disappear?

This is not possible!

After all, Longye had been very curious about what Vermouth had said in his previous life.

"We are both God and the devil, because we want to defy the flow of time and bring the dead back to life."

If we were to compare the world of Detective Conan to a game, then the final boss and the biggest treasure chest in this game would definitely be related to the drugs and software developed by the "Blacksmith".

To find out the truth, the distillery must be kept alive for the time being.

This is the fundamental reason why Longye, despite possessing the strength to annihilate the brewery, has not yet taken action.

It's definitely not about finding some amusement in Gin and the distillery.

After glancing at the ground again, Ryuno carried Miyano Akemi away.

……

Shortly after

Ryūno carried Miyano Akemi and landed near a luxury apartment building next to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Over the years, he and "Xiao Jia" have bought quite a few properties.

Besides financial purposes, it is also to facilitate the concealment of those "shady" individuals.

For example, there's Miyano Akemi right in front of us.

Ryūno placed the unconscious Miyano Akemi on the sofa, left a letter, and immediately flew out of the apartment.

It was getting late, and Xiaolan's club training was almost over.

What if Xiaolan goes hungry if we don't hurry back to make hot pot?

"..."

Soon after, Xiaolan returned home.

Looking at the large pot and various ingredients she had never seen before on the dining table, Xiaolan was a little puzzled.

Seemingly noticing Xiaolan's confusion, Longye smiled and said, "Go wash your hands first! Today I'll let you taste one of China's top delicacies!"

After washing her hands, Xiaolan, under Longye's guidance, used chopsticks to pick up a piece of tripe, dipped it in the spicy broth for a while, and then immediately took it out.

After blowing on it a few times, Xiaolan put the tripe into her mouth.

Seeing Ran panting from the spiciness, Longye smiled gently: "Is it good? If you think it's too spicy, you can put the vegetables in this non-spicy pot later~"

"No, no need~ It's spicy, but it's delicious!!"

Seeing that Xiaolan was slurring her words because of the spiciness, Longye immediately handed her a glass of water and affectionately patted her head.

……

Luxury apartment building next to the Metropolitan Police Department

Akemi Miyano slowly opened her eyes on the sofa.

The unfamiliar place in front of her made her sit up instinctively and look around warily.

"This, this is?"

“I remember, Gin… and then a strange man appeared.”

"And then..."

Just as Miyano Akemi was wondering what was going on, she saw the letter on the sofa.

Driven by curiosity, she opened the envelope.

——TO: Akemi Miyano

Ms. Akemi Miyano, you are free to use everything in this apartment.

But you'd better not go out for the time being.

There's food and water in the refrigerator; enough to last you for a while.

If all goes well, I'll be here in a couple of days.

If there are any problems, we can talk about them later.

P.S.: Listen to advice, and you'll eat your fill!

Chapter 87 is insurmountable, isn't it?

Saturday morning

Ryūno and Ran arrived at the entrance of Teitan High School.

After watching Xiaolan walk into the school, Longye turned and left.

The karate exchange tournament for high schools in the Kanto region will begin soon.

Such exchange meetings are held regularly every year.

Of course, although it was called an exchange meeting, it was actually a competition.

First, universities in various regions will conduct a selection process on a small scale.

Top-ranked universities will be eligible to participate in exchange programs in larger regions such as Kanto, Kansai, and Hokkaido.

At the exchange meetings in various regions, universities will compete again to rank the universities in each region.

Then, only the top-ranked universities in each region are eligible to participate in the final national university competition.

Teitan High School has qualified for the National High School Championship for four consecutive years.

To maintain this record, Xiaolan and the other team members volunteered to practice extra on weekends in preparation for the upcoming competition.

Although under Ryūno's guidance, Ran's strength has significantly improved compared to the original work.

However, these exchange meetings focus on the overall performance of the team.

Each university will send 5 players to participate in the competition, and the final tally will be based on the number of wins and losses.

Under these rules, no matter how skilled one person in the team is, it doesn't matter.

If the other four players lose a lot of games, the university's final ranking will also be very low.

Therefore, none of the club members complained and participated in the weekend training session.

After all, nobody wants to lose face in the competition, let alone drag others down.

……

After dropping Ran off at school, Tatsuno walked toward the apartment next to the Metropolitan Police Department.

After thinking it over for a while, he decided to meet Miyano Akemi in his true form.

Although the original work doesn't describe Akemi Miyano in much detail, her kind, gentle, and innocent personality has deeply resonated with readers.

Now that he had already intervened to save her, Longye was naturally able to accept the consequences and the series of impacts that followed.

Shortly after, he took the elevator, walked to the apartment door, and knocked.

"dong dong dong"

At first, there was no sound from inside the house.

After a while, footsteps were heard.

But when the footsteps reached the door, Akemi Miyano did not open the door immediately. Instead, she looked through the peephole to observe the visitors outside.

Hearing footsteps approaching the door, Longye didn't make any unnecessary movements.

He stood quietly in front of the door, smiling at the peephole.

Miyano Akemi paused slightly when she saw Tatsuno through the cat's eyes.

At that moment, a handsome young man was standing outside the door; it seemed that this was the one who had knocked.

After pausing for two seconds, she asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Hmm? You should have read the letter I left you, right? By the way, this is my house, isn't it?"
