I'm writing a fictional immortality script in Detective Conan.

"You bastard, you have nowhere to run!"

Before Conan could see clearly, several police officers jumped out of the stairwell and, in a strong-man-lock-down manner, subdued the white-clad figure who had fallen to the ground.

Inspector Megure, round and chubby, followed closely behind, panting, and waved into the ward: "Thanks, Brother Kuromon!"

"You're welcome." Kuromon Haruya raised his hand in greeting and continued reading the book in his hands, as if the powerful blow was just a gesture of goodwill.

Just as Conan thought the matter was over and was tiptoeing away, a soft, soothing voice came from behind him: "Little Conan, could you help me with my cane?"

Okay—

With an eager smile, Conan jumped up, pulled out his cane, and stood obediently by the bed with his hands behind his back, saying ingratiatingly, "Brother Kuromon, I was just joking."

How terrifying! When Kuromon gets angry, he's just like Ran... no, even more terrifying! Does he really like Chinese food that much?!

However, he only thought it to himself and certainly wouldn't say it aloud: "This code is too vicious, it's not suitable at all! Brother Heimen, what do you think we should come up with?"

"No, I suddenly think this code is pretty good."

In the past, if Kuromon Haruya had heard such a provocation, he would have already told the other party to eat peanuts.

Haruya Kuromon closed his book, took out a camera from his drawer, and pointed it at Conan. Only when Conan's smile began to freeze did he press the shutter, leaving Conan with a meaningful look:

"With this unique response, Shinichi, you definitely won't mistake me for someone else, right?"

Let's forget about this life-threatening method of recognition!

Conan rubbed his arms, which were covered in goosebumps, and reluctantly replied, "Haha, I'll do whatever Kuromon-san says."

Although Kuromon Haruya's smile was dazzling and beautiful, combined with the flashing lights in the background, it was like an illustration. However, this beauty could not suppress the dark aura on his body that was about to solidify into a substance!

Kuroda Heibei was taken aback when he saw that familiar smile as soon as he entered the room.

However, the sense of déjà vu vanished in an instant. Kuromon Haruya leaned on his cane and walked out of the room, curiously peeking out: "So Dr. Jiang Teng is the culprit in this case?"

Before Inspector Kuroda could reply, Jiang Teng, who was still chained up, took the initiative to plead his innocence: "It wasn't me! I didn't kill Shirai!"

Inspector Megure stared at him speechlessly, clearly disbelieving: "Then tell me why you impersonated Dr. Shirai! You're just a fugitive trying to escape punishment."

"That's because I was afraid you'd just arrest me and file a case against me!"

Dr. Jiang Teng stretched his neck and began to criticize the police with righteous indignation: "With such a high crime rate in Tokyo, how can you still achieve a near 100% case-solving rate? What else could it be but randomly arresting people to make up the numbers?"

"According to the law, slandering law enforcement officers is punishable by law."

Heimen Yaoye glanced back at the crime-solving machine and dusted off Jiang Teng's white coat: "Doctor, since you are innocent, you must have your own evidence, right?"

Perhaps it was out of professional habit, but Jiang Teng found Heimen Yaoye, dressed in a hospital gown, much more pleasing to the eye than these fierce-looking police officers.

"The reason I impersonated Shirai is because... by the time I arrived, that guy had already fallen into the pool and died!"

“Our head of surgery is about to retire, and I had a big argument with Shirai over the position. This afternoon, I suddenly received a text message from him asking me to meet him at a specific time in the most secluded bathroom in the hospital so we could discuss something important.”

When asked about the reason for the meeting, Jiang Teng deliberately obscured his words: "But who would have thought that all I would meet was a drowned corpse lying by the pool!"

“Even if I didn’t do it, if someone were to suspect me, my career path would be basically over! In a moment of panic, I put on my spare gloves and faked the scene as an accident where I slipped on soap. Then I pretended to be Shirai delivering food to create an alibi.”

What Jiang Teng didn't say was that he went to Shirai's office to destroy evidence that his family had accepted bribes to help them get into the top jobs. While rummaging through the documents, he unexpectedly found a plot plan to murder him.

This guy had actually harbored murderous intentions towards him all along!

Shirai's plan explicitly states that he intends to use trace amounts of sleeping pills and hallucinogens to disrupt Kuromon Haruya's cognition, causing her to wake up at fixed times and witness a staged murder scene. After the "boy who cried wolf" scenario has been repeated multiple times, he will then kill her, portraying the suspect as a hero suffering from PTSD after the attack.

Looking at the medicine and the cassette tape in his hand, Jiang Teng had an idea and decided to use this as a pretext to fake his alibi.

But... why didn't the hallucinogen he gave Mr. Kuromon have any effect? ​​Did Shirai buy a counterfeit?

"This is outrageous."

After listening, Kuroda Hyōe remained silent for a moment, staring at Jiang Teng with a completely incomprehensible look. In his view, even bearing suspicion temporarily was better than actively getting involved and muddying the waters.

Little did they know that in Beika Town, a den of intrigue where love and hate intertwine intensely, anything is possible. Magic originates from reality, but reality is always more magical.

Beside him, Inspector Megure took the documents handed to him by the officer and looked at Jiang Teng with a sigh:

"With the consent of the deceased's family, the preliminary autopsy results are in. When the forensic doctor opened the chest, he found a clear area of ​​infarction in the heart. In other words, Dr. Shirai suffered a sudden myocardial infarction while waiting for you and fell into the pool and drowned."

A sudden myocardial infarction?!

"No, impossible!" Jiang Teng shoved aside the police officer beside him in disbelief, snatched the report with his shackled hands, and examined it carefully, word by word: "Impossible, impossible, then what was the point of me doing this?!"

As a surgeon with extensive medical knowledge, how could Jiang Teng not understand the information in the document? The more he checked, the more distraught he became, until finally, his eyes glazed over, he knelt on the ground, muttering to himself.

Inspector Megure looked at him and shook his head: "Mr. Jiang Teng, your suspicion has been cleared, but we still need to take you away on charges of obstructing official business."

"No, this case was... done by that organization!"

Conan was about to retort when he was stopped by Haruya Kuromon.

"This case is truly an absurd tragedy." He put on his coat and took Conan's hand, leading him outside. "Inspector, now that the case is closed, I'll take Conan for a walk."

"Ah, of course." Inspector Megure, who was comforting the emotionally distraught Jiang Teng, replied without turning his head, "It's very cold outside, wear more clothes and be careful not to catch a cold!"

"Thank you for your concern."

As Kuromon Yoya thanked him and was about to turn and leave, a business card blocked his way.

"this is my name card."

With his calm and serious face, Kuroda Hyōe exclaimed, "You're a rare talent for police work. If you're interested in this, you can contact me. If I had met you a few years earlier, I might have persuaded you to become a special recruit at the police academy."

After saying that, he left the group of police officers and went away first.

After carefully putting away the business card, Kuromon Haruya had Conan lead him to Professor Agasa's car. Finally free from the hectic case schedule, he let out a long sigh of relief, despite Ai Haibara's scrutinizing gaze, and leaned back comfortably in his seat.

After Conan confirmed that no listening devices had been attached, he asked cryptically, "Kuromon-kun, what's your plan now?"

Upon hearing this, Kuromon Haruya did not respond. Instead, after repeatedly checking the date on the calendar, she uttered four words:

"Discharged from the hospital, going home."
