Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

The next morning, in the villa

Lin Jiayou poured himself half a glass of sherry, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and watched the television in front of him with great interest.

On television, the latest episode of "Metamorphosis" is playing—

"Ouch, it hurts so much... my whole body feels like it's splitting apart... ah—"

......

"What...what's wrong with me...?"

Watching the video, one can see Shinichi Kudo groaning in pain and muttering to himself in confusion after shrinking.

Lin Jiayou was very satisfied.

Although the video isn't very clear, it generally records the entire process of Shinichi Kudo shrinking.

Ok.

Now that Conan is online, let's implement Plan B.

Let Conan, this silver bullet, fly a little longer, the way he wants...

Lin Jiayou finished smoking the cigarette in one gulp and then drank the sherry in his glass in one go.

He picked up a newspaper from the table, the front page of which prominently featured the news of his cracking the case at Dorobiga Park yesterday.

This time, his face was clearly captured by the newspaper reporter.

He remained unusually indifferent, yet seemed so ordinary.

Lin Chia-yu has finally become truly famous this time...

Since that's the case, we'll have to change our approach from now on.

With that in mind, Lin Jiayou put on a black trench coat, paired with black trousers, grabbed his ever-present black umbrella, and got into the Lexus provided by the organization.

Target – Ekoda.

....................

Classroom of Class B, Grade 2, Ekoda High School

"Kaito Kuroba,"

During recess, a middle-aged teacher came to the classroom door and called out to those inside.

"Your housekeeper is looking for you at school!"

housekeeper?!

The teacher's words instantly caused a stir among the students in the classroom.

"Kaito-kun has a butler!"

"Wow, that's amazing! They must be from a wealthy family!"

"If Kaito peeks at my panties again, I won't hit him!"

......

Immediately, discussions about Kaito Kuroba arose one after another.

Kaito Kuroba was completely bewildered. Why did Grandpa Terai suddenly come to the school?

He quickly walked out of the classroom and asked the middle-aged teacher at the door,

"Teacher, what did my family's housekeeper say?"

"Well, I'm not quite sure either,"

The middle-aged teacher scratched his head.

"The person outside just told me that your housekeeper wanted you to leave immediately, saying that they had found out something about your father..."

"Okay, thank you, teacher. You've worked hard, teacher. Goodbye, teacher."

Kaito Kuroba finished expressing his gratitude to his teacher in one breath, and then rushed out of the school building in the blink of an eye.

Is there a clue about his... father?

If it's true, then Grandpa Terai certainly has a reason to rush to the school.

Kaito Kuroba was extremely excited. He didn't know why, but a voice inside him kept telling him that his father was not dead.

So he kept trying to find some clues that his father was still alive from certain things.

Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, the results have been minimal.

How could he not be excited to hear news about his father?

Kaito Kuroba arrived at the school gate as quickly as possible.

But......

There was no familiar, aged figure at the school gate.

What came into view was a man in black carrying a black umbrella.

Kaito Kuroba quickly sized him up. He had an ordinary appearance, calm eyes, and no expression on his face. He was dressed entirely in black, and his aura was subtle yet impossible to ignore.

He recognized this man.

Kaito Kuroba saw him in the newspaper this morning.

The mysterious detective, Lin Jiayou, who just solved the roller coaster murder case.

"Kaito Kuroba, since you have family matters to attend to, why don't you go back with your butler and fill out the departure registration form here..."

The gatekeeper came out and smiled at Kaito Kuroba.

Kaito Kuroba's eyes widened. This wasn't his family's butler.

His grandfather, Terai, was an old man who could hardly walk anymore, not this mysterious man in black.

Just as Kuroba Kaito was about to loudly expose Lin Jiayou as a fraud, he heard Lin Jiayou calmly speak.

"Kaito, come home with me. Your father has sent a message."

Father...sent a message...

Kaito Kuroba's heart sank. Just what did this mysterious guy know?

Should I go with this guy or not...?

Kaito Kuroba's heart may still be hesitant.

However, Lin Jiayou wouldn't let him leave so easily.

brush--

Lin Jiayou's hand swept through the air at an incredible speed, gripping Kuroba Kaito's wrist tightly.

It was so fast... that Kaito Kuroba didn't even have time to react.

He stared wide-eyed once again, looking at the man in black before him in disbelief.

At this moment, the shock he felt at Lin Jiayou's presence was even more exaggerated than when he first saw Lin Jiayou.

This person...

Kaito Kuroba felt somewhat relieved; killing him would be as easy as killing a chicken for him.

Since that's the case, let's hear what he has to say.

"Butler Lin, has my father really sent a message?"

After mentally preparing himself, Kaito Kuroba's face instantly showed an anxious expression as he pressed Lin Jiayou for an answer.

Lin Jiayou remained outwardly calm, but secretly smiled to himself.

This kid deliberately mentioned his name; that's interesting.

"certainly,"

Lin Jiayou said calmly,

"The master sent me an urgent message this morning, saying that he has returned to the country safely and that the young master need not worry."

"Great!"

Kaito Kuroba's face was full of joy.

Let's hurry home!

"Um,"

Lin Jiayou nodded calmly, bowed slightly to Kuroba Kaito, and invited him to get into his Lexus.

"Master, please."

Without the slightest hesitation, Kaito Kuroba got into Lin Jiayou's car.

Lin Jiayou gently closed the car door, turned around, and said to the gatekeeper of Jianggutian High School,

"Mr. Kobayashi, there's something else I need to trouble you with."

"Yes, yes, Butler Lin, please tell me what you need to do, and I will do my best to help."

Xiao Lin, the security guard, patted his chest and assured Lin Jiayou.

Lin Jiayou glanced at a classroom in the teaching building and said calmly to the security guard, Xiao Lin.

"I hope Mr. Kobayashi can leave a message for Koizumi Akako, a student in Class 2B of your school, after school, saying that my wife has invited her to fish and hopes she will do me the honor."

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely bring it."

Xiao Lin, the gatekeeper, nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Lin Jiayou nodded slightly to him, then got into the car.

At the last moment before he rolled up the car window, he glanced once more at a classroom in a school building.

There, a girl with long, crimson hair leaned against the window, gazing into the distance.
