Conan: I've been linked to the tech tree system.

"It's just a gift for you," Tohru Tono waved his hand. "No need to thank me."

Upon hearing this, Gin couldn't help but tighten his grip on the gun handle.

Even if the tequila is exposed, it's an internal matter for their Black Organization. Who are you to interfere?

And why does this person know so much about their Black Organization...? Could there be another traitor in the organization?

Seeing Gin's face growing increasingly dark, Tohru Tono pulled out an elegant business card and handed it over.

Gin paused for a moment, then took the business card.

The business card was nothing unusual; it was just a thin card with the words "Starlight Invention Exhibition" printed in gold foil in the center, an address below, and an email address for contact in the lower right corner.

"By the way, I'd like to invite you to my exhibition~ I sincerely hope you can come and support me."

Tohno winked at Gin and Vodka, then got up and opened the window: "Oh, and remember to destroy any clues about your transaction here—a sharp-eyed detective has already become suspicious of your dealings, so don't give the police any leverage!"

Leaving his final instructions, he darted towards the window, leaped out, and plummeted to his death.

Vodka was startled and looked outside, only to see a black figure flying further and further away...

Gin watched the departing figure, lost in thought.

"Big brother..." Vodka said weakly.

I still couldn't help my brother much this time... I'll definitely help him next time.

"Let's go first." Gin stood up, preparing to leave the bar.

As a frequent meeting place for the Black Organization, the area around the cocktail bar was already filled with various explosives... When evidence needed to be destroyed, all that was needed was to detonate the explosives after leaving, which would wipe the evidence out completely.

It's very convenient.

......

Tohno Toru landed on the rooftop of the Mantendo Company, removed all his disguises, and reverted to his original appearance as Tohno Toru.

He then took the elevator back to the first floor where the crime scene was located.

As he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Inspector Megure bending down and talking to Conan.

It seems like the timing is perfect to coincide with the case?

[Ding, detective storyline system mission triggered: Video Game Company Murder Case]

Mission objective: Find the killer of Agave.

Mission completion reward: 500 Detective Points

Wow, so many?

Aside from the beginner quests when he first acquired the system and the relatively difficult quest "Redeeming Tachibana Maya," this was the first time Tohru Tono had seen a regular quest award so many reward points.

Is it because Tequila is a member of the Black Organization and therefore more dangerous?

Wait a minute, what danger could a corpse pose?

Does that mean cases related to the Black Organization will yield higher point rewards?

Tohru Tohno didn't understand what the system meant, so he decided to observe it further later.

However, more reward points are always a good thing.

He easily pocketed those 500 points!

Toru Tono walked towards Inspector Megure.

......

"Hey? Tono, bro, so you're here too." Inspector Megure's eyes lit up when he saw him walking over.

He thought that only Kogoro Mouri was present, and he was having some headaches.

Although Kogoro Mouri has solved many cases and is somewhat famous as "Sleeping Kogoro"... Inspector Megure still thinks this guy is unreliable.

Before transforming into "Sleeping Kogoro," this new famous detective was still the same as before, always leading the detectives of the First Investigation Division down a strange side path... and then "plop" falling into a pit, never to return.

Then he leisurely struck a strange pose, completely overturning his previous line of reasoning.

This kind of behavior is infuriating.

In comparison, Toru Tono was more friendly to their police.

He doesn't resort to those pretentious gimmicks, nor does he try to force the police to solve cases... He just sits there for a while, walks over, and solves the case.

Most importantly, the cases are solved quickly, so there's no need to work overtime.

It saves a lot of trouble.

......

Conan looked up and saw Tono peeking through the window, looking somewhat puzzled.

He thought Tohno Toru had left on his own, but he didn't expect him to stay here.

Where did he go before?

Conan didn't keep his question to himself and asked directly, "Hey, Toru-nii, where did you go just now?"

"Ah, I was feeling a bit dizzy because of low blood sugar, so I went out and bought some sweets." Tohno Toru took out the pastries he had taken from Gin's table, broke off a piece, and handed it to Conan. "Do you want some?"

Conan shook his head. A heinous crime had occurred, and it was related to the organization. He wasn't in the mood to eat right now.

The slight doubt that had arisen in my heart about Tohru Tono once again vanished.

This only reinforced the impression that he was physically weak.

Chapter 41 Are there any masters?

Inspector Megure abandoned Conan and led Toru Tohno to the explosion site, where he told him some details that the police had discovered.

As always, Toru Tono ignored the police's discovery and went straight to the three Mt. Tendai employees who were picking up their suitcases at the front desk.

“Guest number 124…” The receptionist glanced down at the number on the suitcase, smiled, and handed it to Hideaki Nakajima, who seemed a little guilty.

“It’s me.” Hideaki Nakajima checked the number plate and took the suitcase.

"Huh?" Takeshita Hironobu, the bespectacled man next to him who was also carrying a box, asked in confusion.

"What's wrong?" Nakajima Hideaki, already feeling guilty for making illicit deals with the Black Organization, asked instinctively.

"N-nothing...it's nothing." Takeshita Hironobu, who also had ulterior motives, didn't dare to say more.

Did the receptionist change the number on my suitcase?

......

Observing the behavior of these two people and combining it with the information revealed by the death of Agave, Conan gradually understood everything.

He glanced at Toru Ino and smiled confidently.

Haha, you weren't at the crime scene right away this time, so you must still be completely confused, right?

He caught a cold and wasn't feeling well during the last diplomatic incident, so it wasn't a real competition... This time, it's my turn to turn the tables!

Conan was about to go find Kogoro Mouri and give him a love tranquilizer dart.

"Mr. Hironobu Takeshita and Mr. Hideaki Nakajima—could you come here for a moment?"

Toru Tohno's voice made Conan stop in his tracks.

No way, you've found the murderer again?

Conan's eyes narrowed into dead fish eyes, his motivation to solve the case -1.

Did you solve the case using a script?!

......

Detective Toru Tono, who works with scripts, calls over two employees, preparing to pretend to go through the deduction process.

There's no need to take this prisoner seriously; he can be apprehended easily.

Therefore, by purchasing more "Starlight" brand high-tech products, one can maintain a place in this world teeming with criminal talent!

"Mr. Hideaki Nakajima, could you please open the suitcase you're carrying?"

"Huh? I don't think it's necessary..." A bead of cold sweat trickled down Nakajima's forehead.

Seeing his state, Inspector Megure stepped forward at the opportune moment: "You have not yet cleared your name. Please cooperate with the police investigation."

“…” Hideaki Nakajima hesitated, but still did not make a move.

Koji Ueda, who was standing nearby, walked over to him and said anxiously, "Idiot, do you want to be a murderer? Hurry up and open it so everyone can see..." As he spoke, he started to grab the box.

“…Idiot.” Although Hideaki Nakajima was touched by Koji Ueda’s trust in him, he still dared not let go.

This is full of hard-earned cash! There's no way to deny it if they find out.

As a result of the struggle between the two, the black leather suitcase was opened with a small gap.

Hiroshi Takeshita, who was already tense, was terrified when he saw the suitcase being opened. He reflexively lay down on the ground and covered his head with his hands.

?

The two stopped fighting and looked at him with confusion.

The suitcase was thus completely opened.

"bang"

Several heavy stones rolled out of the suitcase and crashed to the floor.

"How could this be..." Hideaki Nakajima turned around and saw that the box was filled with stones, his eyes widening in surprise.

The Black Organization has no code of honor!

Tohru Tono, as if it were none of his business, casually said, "As expected, the culprit of the bombing is you—Mr. Takeshita Hironobu!"

"You don't still think the bomb in the suitcase is going to explode, do you?"

Takeshita Hironobu looked up at Tono Toru, completely bewildered.

"Brother Tono, what exactly is going on?" Inspector Megure asked.

"It's very simple. The man in black who was killed in the explosion was just accidentally injured... In fact, Takeshita Hironobu wanted to kill you—Mr. Nakajima Hideaki, who was conducting underground transactions with unknown individuals."
