Conan: No, why aren't you following the script?

To be honest, Conan Edogawa really didn't realize that the children were so badly frightened. After investigating the house for so long, he thought that Ai Haibara had calmed them down.

Unexpectedly, after Ai Haibara pointed it out, I realized that the children's expressions were even more unpleasant than before...

I wonder how Haibara manages to take care of these children!

This is the real reason why Conan Edogawa is angry.

As for being casually teased... that's something he's long been used to.

Coupled with the mysterious appearance of Saburo Kurosawa, Conan Edogawa was already in a somewhat stressed state, so he didn't even consider trying to hold on to anything.

In his view, the most important thing right now is to solve the case!

If he can solve this case, he can overcome his inner demons, prove himself completely, and this would be the best consolation gift for those children.

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but clench his fist.

Just wait and see, he'll definitely prove himself again, starting with this murderer, starting with this case!

……

However, while ideals are beautiful, reality is extremely cruel.

The exact time of death of the giant's body was already difficult to determine, and the explosion of the body rendered traditional methods of maggot length analysis ineffective. The forensic team members could only make rough estimates using other, less accurate methods.

This was like a bucket of cold water, dousing Conan Edogawa's burning passion completely...

Over the next few days, they began a series of tense and exciting investigations into Saburo Kurosawa's identity.

In the eyes of Conan Edogawa and Inspector Megure, this mysterious detective who suddenly appeared must know some hidden secrets.

But as they followed this clue and explored further, they discovered that Saburo Kurosawa had not appeared since that day.

It was as if they had vanished into thin air; no matter how much Conan Edogawa investigated, he could never find any clues about them.

Realizing that this path was blocked, Conan, who was so anxious that his lips were almost blistered, quickly changed his focus and began a series of investigations around the creditors.

It's just a great pity...

All of those creditors had very strong alibis, and they certainly had no motive to kill Zhang Tianzheng.

This is similar to the relationship between a defaulter and a bank. When you owe hundreds of millions of yuan to a bank, your life safety is entirely entrusted to the bank.

This was Zhang Tianzhengji's state at that time.

If he dies, many debts will be uncollectible, so the creditors will absolutely not allow Zhang Tian to die, not even by suicide...

But then, who killed Zhang Tianzhengji?

Conan Edogawa was completely baffled.

Just as he was feeling anxious and confused about this, the Junior Detective Club members, who were resting at home, encountered an unexpected incident.

Perhaps it was due to evil spirits entering the body, or perhaps it was due to excessive stimulation.

Ayumi finally caught a cold.

When I got home that night, I was only a little dizzy, but by the next day I couldn't even speak, and my body temperature was frighteningly high.

With no other option, her parents had to temporarily take her out of school, take her to see a doctor, and get some cold medicine suitable for children.

Upon returning from vacation, Ai Haibara learned about this from Mitsuhiko and Genta at the school gate early in the morning, and couldn't help but feel somewhat guilty.

She felt that if she had been more careful and had sent the children away as soon as she smelled the stench, this might not have happened.

However, these words were overheard by Kitagawa Isao, who was driving the car.

He instantly realized his chance had come...

……

Watching Ai Haibara slowly walk into the school, Kitagawa Isao, having made up his mind, quickly turned the car around and drove directly to the upscale apartment where Ayumi Yoshida lived.

Although there is no information available about the actual living conditions of Ayumi Yoshida's family, the apartment's decor exudes luxury, and the professional security booth at the entrance, along with the access control telephone that is relatively new to this era...

Kitagawa Isao felt that this little guy's family background must be quite impressive.

Since he wasn't a resident of this upscale apartment building, Kitagawa Isao found a place nearby to park his car and then began his journey of waiting for his prey.

According to his memory, in the original storyline, Ayumi caught a cold shortly after watching the movie, and the serial killer's home invasion robbery occurred while she was resting at home.

Although he didn't know the exact address of Ayumi's house, Kitagawa Isao was very clear about the appearance of the robber.

Therefore, he chose to wait downstairs. Not long after, he saw a suspicious-looking man wearing sunglasses and a helmet park his motorcycle next to his car.

Seeing this, Kitagawa Isao nodded to himself.

The motorcycle was his primary means of escape, and the helmet and sunglasses prevented people from recognizing his appearance.

It's clear that this is indeed a very professional robber.

However, his professionalism paled in comparison to Kitagawa Isao's.

Watching the thugs preparing by the motorcycle, Kitagawa Isao sighed softly.

Then he opened the door, got out of the car...

"Hey? Brother, you look familiar. Aren't you the younger brother of that Mr. Yamamoto from before? What a coincidence! Come on, let's go have a cup of tea and catch up."

When Kitagawa Isao suddenly grabbed his shoulder, the thug was startled at first, then quickly turned around and said menacingly:

"You've mistaken me for someone else, haven't you? I'm warning you, stay away from me, or else I'll..."

Before he could finish speaking, a heavy punch landed on his abdomen, and the assailant's vision went black. The next second, he was lying directly in Kitagawa Isao's arms.

Seeing this, Kitagawa Isao shook his head with a regretful expression.

"Tell me, why are you so excited about just offering to have a cup of tea? But never mind, since you've been so kind, I'll take you somewhere casually for a drink, though... to the Metropolitan Police Department."

After saying that, Kitagawa Isao, in front of everyone, directly hoisted the robber onto his shoulder and put him into his car.

After doing all that, he stepped on the gas and sped off toward the Metropolitan Police Department, which was not far away.

And at the same time.

In the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division...

"What?! We've been investigating for days, a whole group of us stayed up all night, and now you're telling me the trail has gone cold again?!"

Inspector Megure's roar, like a lion's bellow, echoed throughout the First Investigation Division's office...

……

First update. Something came up today, so I'm a little late. Let's get this going, brothers!
