Keep busy in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 58 The Duke of Darkness's Rescue

On a sunny day, on the beach of Izu Peninsula, the golden sand, blue sky and turquoise water complement each other, forming a beautiful picture.

On the beach, tourists dressed in swimsuits or sunscreen gear enjoyed the sunshine and waves to their heart's content. They played in the sea or lay on the beach to bask in the sun, laughter echoing in the air, creating a joyful atmosphere.

Amidst this bustling scene, one thing stood out. Two unshaded deckchairs, each holding a tall figure and a short one, were lying on them. What was striking was that both figures were handsome.

The handsome guy was tall and had fair skin. Although he was wearing sunglasses, he still looked handsome. He turned his head to the side and said to the handsome guy next to him:

"Hey, Conan, is this tour group reliable? Don't let it be like last time... It's not like I can't afford it. I can save where I should, and I shouldn't save where I shouldn't. Otherwise, I'll always encounter this kind of unreliable tour group, which will really affect my mood..."

When the handsome boy Conan heard this, he couldn't help but respond with some dissatisfaction: "Lan Tian, ​​why do you talk like that? It seems like I always take you to join unreliable tour groups... and this time it was Professor Agasa who gave you the travel opportunity..."

Before he could finish, he sat up, ready to argue with the other party. At this moment, a figure ran towards him on the beach with a vigorous pace in the distance. He saw it and felt that it looked familiar.

As the figure got closer, Conan stared at it and realized that the woman who had just taken off her diving goggles and approached was his future wife, Xiaolan.

"What's wrong, Conan? Come over and swim with us...!" Xiaolan stretched out her hand and invited.

Conan was speechless when he heard this, but he still tried to control his emotions. A blush appeared on his face. He quickly held Xiaolan's hand, and thought to himself:

But it’s not bad to take a break occasionally, so I won’t say so much to him. Just have fun by yourself. Single dog, just lie here alone, hahahaha…!

Xiaolan took Conan's hand and slowly walked towards the edge of the waves. After walking a few steps, she suddenly remembered something, turned her head to look at Hua Lantian, and asked with a smile: "By the way, Brother Lantian, do you want to come with us...!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Lantian quickly waved his hands and replied with a smile, "Ah, Xiaolan, I can't. I just want to laze around and bask in the sun. I finally have a vacation...!"

He didn't want to join in the fun. After all, he could see that Conan was getting a little impatient, and destroying their world of two was not something he liked to do.

"Oh, alright then...! Let's go, see you later...!" "Yeah, yeah, let's go quickly, Xiaolan-nee...!"

Under Conan's urging and pulling, Xiaolan was quickly brought to the edge of the waves, and then the two of them began swimming.

"Ahaha, when will this day end? The timeline jumps so fast that I can't adapt to it. But it seems that today is the Dark Night Baron murder case. I have to prevent another love tragedy from happening...!"

Hua Lantian lay back down, counted with his fingers, muttered to himself, and soon fell asleep.

"Brother Lantian, Brother Lantian, wake up, wake up...! We should go to the hotel...!" "Ah...oh...oh! Let's go, Xiaolan and Conan...!"

It was soon time for them to check in. After a good sleep, Hua Lantian was woken up by Xiaolan, who had just returned from playing, and they went to the hotel together.

At this time in the hotel lobby, Kogoro Mouri was actively communicating with the front desk clerk. He seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

"What? You said you only paid half...!" He looked at the front desk clerk with a confused look on his face and asked uncertainly.

"Yes, Mr. Agasa has reserved three places, right? There will definitely be no problem...!" The waiter at the front desk confirmed and said affirmatively.

"How is this possible? You should check carefully...!" Kogoro Mouri shouted while leaning on the counter.

"What's wrong, uncle? What happened? Do you need my help?" Hua Lantian walked slowly towards them, leading Xiaolan and Conan, with a look of confusion and concern on his face. He glanced around, as if he was a little puzzled by the situation.

In reality, Hua Lantian knew very well what had happened. However, he pretended to be unaware and slowly approached the crowd, hoping to show his concern and kindness.

When he walked to Maori Kogoro, Hua Lantian stopped, a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "Uncle, what's going on? Are you encountering any difficulties? If there is anything I can help with, just tell me!"

After saying this, he even puffed out his chest to show that he had enough strength to solve the problem. At the same time, he also cast a confident look at the people around him, making everyone notice his presence.

Maori Kogoro, who was already in a state of embarrassment, he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his savior, Hua Lantian, coming. When he was about to settle the score with Conan, he suddenly had an idea.

So, he quickly ran to Hua Lantian and said flatteringly, "It's like this, Lantian, we were tricked by that brat Conan. The tour group only paid for half of the hotel he asked us to stay in, but I didn't bring that much money with me...!"

Hua Lantian was surprised when he heard this, but soon regained his composure. He smiled and patted Maori Kogoro on the shoulder, comforting him:

"Oh, so that's how it is. Don't worry, Uncle Maori, I'll take care of this matter. I'll just pay the remaining money, and don't blame Conan anymore. He might not be very clear about it either, after all, it was Professor Agasa who signed up...!"

After saying that, he nodded to Conan who was hiding in the distance, indicating that he would help him solve the problem.

Maori Kogoro listened to Hua Lantian's words and showed a look of gratitude on his face. He nodded quickly to express his gratitude and said to Hua Lantian:

Thank you so much, Lan Tian. I don’t know what I would do without your help. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to ask.

Hua Lantian smiled and nodded, then turned to find the receptionist. After negotiating with the receptionist, he successfully settled their fees.

At this time, new supporting characters in our story also appeared one after another.

The first person to appear is Shiro Konno, who said some inexplicable words at the beginning. He recorded some things, and seemed to want to use this to find out who the legendary organizer, the Dark Night Baron, is.

Next up was the shabby-looking Jiang Yuan Shi Nan. As soon as he opened his mouth to say a few words, Hua Lan Tian ran over and interrupted, "Sir, why do I feel like you're the so-called Dark Night Baron...! Look at your appearance...!"

This time Jiang Yuan Shinan had no chance to deal with him. He just wanted to show off and then hide. Who would have thought that the handsome young man who came with the mustache uncle would come directly to block him.

He complained a few words and then an old man wearing sunglasses and a butler came over. His name was Genichirō Kaneshiro. He didn't perform very well in Konno Shiro's data, but he also gave his reason, which was that his eyesight was not very good.

As they were discussing this, a beautiful woman wearing sunglasses came over. It was Kamijou Hideko. She also shared her own speculation about who the Dark Night Baron was. It was Konno Shiro. However, she still suspected her ex-husband, Ehara Tokio.

"Excuse me, who is this baron you are talking about...?" Kogoro Mouri heard them mumbling and guessing who the Dark Night Baron was, and finally couldn't help but ask his doubts.

"Uncle Maori, I think we should go back to the room first. I'll talk to you on the way...!" Hua Lantian was ready to quickly pull Maori Kogoro back to the room, otherwise he would be furious if he saw someone taking advantage of his daughter.

Kogoro Mouri didn't want to stay here for any reason, and he was also very embarrassed because he had just argued with the front desk clerk for a long time about the room fee, so he simply let him take him away.

What happened next was actually very simple. One person after another began to appear, and the criminal couple in our original drama also appeared in front of everyone one after another.

I must clarify here that the "criminal" I am talking about not only includes the real murderer Akiko Sayama, but also this guy Satoshi Maeda.

After all, he was convicted of harboring a criminal and interfering with a police investigation, so he was definitely going to spend some time in jail. And that Sayama Akiko was even more of a threat, as she had killed Ehara Tokio.

Not long after, Xiaolan and Conan returned to their own room. This room assignment was actually specially arranged by Hua Lantian. She let Maori Kogoro and Hua Lantian live in the same room, and arranged Xiaolan and Conan in another room. This really satisfied Conan's little idea!

Hua Lantian in the room also explained to Maori Kogoro what the Dark Night Baron was. After understanding it, Maori Kogoro realized that this was the protagonist of the novel written by his old friend Kudo Yusaku, and he was very speechless.

However, he obviously knew that the so-called Dark Night Baron today should have nothing to do with that, so he simply called Conan, who had tricked them, over and asked him to explain what was going on.

Conan also guessed the reason why he was called. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Hua Lantian's malicious smile. He ran away, but was caught by Maori Kogoro. He had no way to escape and was given a loving iron fist. Then he confessed everything under the tyranny of Maori Kogoro.

Kogoro Mouri was very excited after listening to Conan's explanation, because in this way the original room fee would be refunded and then returned to Hua Lantian. In this way, he could preserve his face as a famous detective and repay the favor, killing two birds with one stone.

He immediately stood up, gave some instructions, and rushed out to investigate everyone.

Hua Lantian watched him walk out, shrugged at the confused Conan, and then prepared to do his own thing, find Maeda Satoshi and Sayama Akiko, persuade Sayama Akiko, and promise her to get rid of Ehara Tokio.

"Conan, I'm going out to see the uncle. You can go play with your sister Xiaolan. Don't think about these things here. Just have a peaceful vacation. Leave it to me and Uncle Maori this time...! Let's go... Conan brother... ~"

Hua Lantian waved his hand, left Conan with a responsible look, closed the door, and ran away.

It wasn't long before he arrived at room 1901 where Maeda Satoshi and Sayama Akiko were staying. "Knock, knock, knock...! Knock, knock, knock...!"

"I'm here. May I ask who is this...? Akiko, did you order room service...?" Maeda Satoshi's voice came from inside the room. He asked in confusion whether there was any so-called room service.

"Hello, Mr. Maeda Satoshi, I'm a friend of Miss Xiaolan. Her father and I heard that you helped her, but her father is busy now, so I came here to thank you...!"

Hua Lantian stood at the door and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Ah, it's okay. No need to be so polite. After all, a pervert should be punished. No one in their right mind would just sit back and watch...!"

Maeda Satoshi's righteous speech reassured Hua Lantian that he would help them. However, he planned to give Maeda Satoshi a warning by knocking him down first, so that he could have a conversation with the two of them.

So when Maeda Satoshi opened the door, Hua Lantian attacked him. After all, Maeda Satoshi was no pushover. He was the former Neon Karate champion, and his reaction speed remained unchanged.

However, Hua Lantian was not only younger than him, but also possessed superior physical fitness and fighting skills. Furthermore, Hua Lantian launched the first attack, leaving Maeda Satoshi completely unable to defend himself, knocking him to the ground with just one blow. Hua Lantian then quickly disarmed Maeda Satoshi, removing his arms and legs, waiting to reattach them later.

After Hua Lantian had done everything, he brought Maeda Satoshi to Sayama Akiko and began his argument. Sayama Akiko was shocked and wanted to call the police, but Hua Lantian stopped her and told her her plan.

This time, both the person involved, Sayama Akiko, and the unlucky Maeda Satoshi, were extremely shocked. Maeda Satoshi looked at Sayama Akiko with disbelief and asked.

Hua Lantian gave them both some space to be alone, and then asked them to think carefully about it, and he could help Akiko Sayama deal with Tokio Ehara.

Not long after, Maeda Satoshi invited Hua Lantian back and agreed to his request, which was to serve as a bodyguard for his family. Hua Lantian still recognized the karate masters in the world of Detective Conan, after all, there were the precedents of Xiaolan and Kyogoku Makoto.

Therefore, this world reached an agreement that Jiang Yuan Shi'nan would be the only one to suffer misfortune. Hua Lantian quickly made a phone call and told them to call everyone and gather at the restaurant later. Jiang Yuan Shi'nan's identity would be exposed at that time, and he would be taken away by a Tokyo club to make cement piles in Tokyo Bay.

Hua Lantian would show no mercy to those who harmed others. He would get his hands dirty doing it himself, so he asked a Tokyo-based gang he had previously conquered to handle the operation. Incidentally, that's the gang that Busujima Kiriko belongs to???

Then, while Jiang Yuan Shi Nan was struggling, he was dragged away by the club members wearing black suits and sunglasses, amidst everyone's confusion and the joy of venting their anger...
