Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Fortunately, after Inspector Megure said a few words, Karasuma Renya's worries finally dissipated.

"Mr. Qi Ming, I'd like to ask what your opinion is on this matter?"

Megure asked Qi Ming with a serious expression.

"Could today's case also be some kind of curse? Or something else, like a spirit or ghost?"

Curse, spirit, ghost?

Karasuma Renya had a pretty good idea of ​​what Qi Ming's identity was in the eyes of these two people.

"Um……"

Qi Ming stroked his chin and then said.

"This time it's not because of a curse or anything like that."

"That……"

Qi Ming looked at Karasuma Renya and said with a serious expression:

"It's because this person is indeed the murderer."

"...Nani?"

Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri looked at Qi Ming in shock, then turned to look at Renya Karasuma.

"But Mr. Qi Ming, you also saw what happened just now. The deceased disappeared in an instant and died at Mr. Karasuma's hands. This doesn't make any sense at all."

Qi Ming shook his finger.

"No, that makes perfect sense."

"What if Karasuma is actually the same kind of person as me?"

The same kind of people?

Megure Juzo didn't quite understand Qi Ming's words, but he quickly realized what was going on, his eyes widened as he pointed a finger at Karasuma Renya.

"He, could he also be..."

Qi Ming clapped his hands and said solemnly.

"Indeed, he is not simple either, and this person also possesses what is known in our world as the most vile ability: the art of spiritification!"

"..."

Karasuma Renya expressed considerable confusion.

What is the art of spiritualization?

Although he could guess that Qi Ming was deliberately making things difficult for him in front of Conan and Hattori Heiji to force them to exonerate him.

But now that things are here, there's no need to tell the police these things, right?

He still wanted to stay at the school and be a teacher, to enjoy himself—no, to do his assignments.

After all, a teacher's job is to complete tasks, and he can do a lot every day as instructed by his superiors.

"Mr. Karasuma, please explain."

Megure and Kogoro Mouri clearly trusted Qi Ming a great deal, and immediately spoke to Karasuma Renya with serious expressions.

"...I don't know what you're talking about."

Karasuma Renya glanced at the wine glass in his hand, took a sip, and calmly replied.

He wasn't lying, because he genuinely didn't know what they were talking about.

"..."

As he finished speaking, Karasuma Renya savored the taste of the red wine in his mouth, but the next second he noticed that Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri's expressions had become somewhat strange.

That expression seemed to be one of surprise?

"Mr. Karasuma, what exactly is that glass of wine in your hand?"

"Wine? Wine is..."

Upon hearing Kogoro Mouri's question, Renya Karasuma raised his sake cup, but just as he was about to speak, his face froze instantly.

liqueur?

Where did this glass of wine come from?

Could it be that he accidentally took something out of his backpack just now? No, no, no, he shouldn't be stupid enough to do such a thing when he's suspected of murder.

"Heh, you've finally slipped up. You actually used the Spirit Transformation Technique without realizing it, you bastard?"

Qi Ming looked at Karasuma Renya and sneered. Before he knew it, he had walked up to Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Megure, completely isolating Karasuma Renya.

"Mr. Qi Ming, what exactly is going on?"

Inspector Megure quickly asked Qi Ming.

What intrigued him most was the so-called spiritification technique that Qi Ming mentioned.

Qi Ming did not hesitate and began to tell the story he had already made up.

"The so-called spiritualization technique is the ability to separate one's body and soul."

"With this technique, you can destroy the opponent's soul simply by using your own soul."

Qi Ming pointed to the wine cup in Karasuma Renya's hand.

"However, this magic has a bug: if the person who possesses this magic is not skilled enough, their actions will be replicated in their physical body the moment their soul returns."

"Karasuma Renya used this magic to kill that person, but because he was not proficient in the magic, he suffered a side effect, which allowed us to witness him stabbing the deceased!"

"..."

Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri were so shocked that their mouths dropped open.

This ability is just too overpowered!

"..."

Karasuma Renya looked at Qi Ming helplessly.

To be honest, after witnessing his own sudden transformation into alcohol, his T0 intelligence had already allowed him to understand the ability Qi Ming had used.

Pause time.

Although it deviates somewhat from Qi Ming's true abilities, slowing down time to an imperceptible degree is no different from stopping time.

There is another possibility, though: Qi Ming possesses extreme speed, so fast that no one could react in time to do these things.

"...Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying."

Karasuma Renya answered casually, taking another sip of sake.

Since it's already in my hands, I might as well drink it.

"Well, so, Mr. Karasuma, what should we do about this case...?"

Inspector Megure was having a headache; he really couldn't make up his mind.

You mentioned the curse from the last incident, but at least it was caused by a ghost.

Even without a physical prisoner, he could still find a way to handle the matter.

But now another prisoner with special abilities has arrived. How should they explain this?

A superhuman with the ability to astral projection commits a murder. Can an ordinary prison hold him?

Megure really hoped that Qi Ming had misjudged the situation this time, but how could he explain the cup of sake that suddenly appeared in Karasuma Renya's hand?

"..."

Karasuma Renya scrutinized Inspector Megure's gaze.

Perhaps this policeman trusts him too much?

No, perhaps it's ultimately because of the glass of wine Qi Ming shoved into his hand.

"Teacher Karasuma."

A voice suddenly rang out from outside the monitoring room. Karasuma Renya turned around and saw Conan and Hattori Heiji.

"Inspector Megure, two children are looking for me outside. May I talk to them?"

Inspector Megure didn't know how to respond for a moment, until he saw Qi Ming nod, then he stammered.

"Uh, okay, but in the end, it will remain in my, no, Brother Qi Ming's, sight."

“That’s right, you must stay in my sight and don’t let me find out that you’re using spiritification to escape.”

"..."

Now Karasuma Renya is really curious whether the power of this spiritification technique is real.

But then again, he can see that there's no skill section in the panel, right?

Karasuma Renya came to Conan and Hattori Heiji.

After the two whispered to Karasuma Renya for a while, Karasuma Renya nodded to them before turning around and walking back.

Conan and Heiji Hattori reached the same conclusion as him: Qi Ming could stop time.

It seems these two are quite useful; at least after learning about some unnatural things, they were able to break free from conventional logic.

Let's call it a day.

Just as Karasuma Renya was thinking of having a private chat with Qi Ming to end today's events, a police officer suddenly walked into the monitoring room.

He took off his police hat and said to Inspector Megure with a confident look.

"Inspector Megure, I think I've found the truth behind this case."

"……Um?"

Conan and Heiji Hattori looked at the police officer with suspicion.

Dude, who are you? Do you even know what kind of case this is? You're just saying you've found the truth?

Got it, you want to impress the boss, right?

But this is no longer an area you can reach, okay?

"..."

Qi Ming, who was just grabbing a bottle of Karasuma Renya sake to drink, stared wide-eyed at the police officer who walked in.

There was a sign on the person's head.
