In the world of Detective Conan, however, he was bound to the Naruto System.

Chapter 108 Sarcastic and Unpleasant (3 times)

Although the occasion was somewhat inappropriate, Akutagawa answered the phone.

There's a reason why Xiaolan took so long to buy a cake.

Besides the cake shop being extremely busy, with long queues forming to buy delicious cakes, causing the waiting time to be a bit long, the store's cash register was also overloaded and crashed.

However, as a result of this misfortune, Xiaolan received a free copy of the store's newest cake.

When Xiaolan returned, she found a large crowd gathered at the entrance, and looking inside, she could see a long police cordon.

The thought of Conan still being inside, and not knowing if Eri had even arrived, made Ran Mouri feel a little panicked. Fortunately, in her panic, she heard Akutagawa Hikaru's name and realized he was also at the coffee shop, so she called him.

Ran Mouri's voice was filled with anxiety, but given her personality, she wouldn't do something like trespassing on police lines and adding to their workload: "Are you all alright? Is Conan with you?"

Akutagawa Hiko comforted him, "It's nothing, Conan is still as lively as ever, you'll be able to come in soon if nothing unexpected happens."

After hanging up the phone, Akutagawa Hiko didn't waste any time and began his reasoning: "First of all, the murderer didn't kill the victim in the cubicle."

Instead, they strangled the victim unconscious outside the cubicle, stabbed him in the chest with a knife, and then threw him in through a gap in the door.

Inspector Megure promptly raised a question: "But why is there no blood outside the cubicle, yet there is blood inside?"

Before Akutagawa Hiko could answer, Kisaki Eri explained, "That's because the murderer only completed the insertion to kill the victim outside the cubicle. As for pulling out the murder weapon, that was done after the murderer's body was thrown in, which only required a rope."

Then, Eri Kisaki looked at Hiko Akutagawa and asked, "Am I right, little detective?"

Akutagawa Hiko nodded: "What this lady said is absolutely right. The part of the weapon that didn't come into contact with blood is where the rope was tied."

Seeing that Eri's mood had instantly brightened, Conan couldn't resist offering a clue: "Brother Hiko, I found bloodstains on the door panel. That's where the murderer left the body, right?"

Then, Conan, with an innocent look on his face, continued with something chilling: "If I were the murderer, I would definitely climb over the toilet to the next room; wouldn't that be easier?"

Eri Kisaki glanced at Conan suspiciously, but then remembered Akutagawa Hikaru's glorious achievements that she had read about in the newspaper, and her doubts vanished instantly.

Geniuses do exist objectively. Having gone through so many cases with Akutagawa Hikaru, it's normal for him to be able to calmly deal with murder cases.

Because Kogoro Mouri was criticized for firing his gun without permission and then became a detective, she pays more attention to news in this area.

Although Kogoro Mouri's detective career has improved somewhat recently, it is still no match for this rising star.

Moreover, not long ago, her law firm had an elderly client, who was reportedly suggested by Akutagawa Hiko to find an excellent lawyer to defend him.

So even though they've never officially met, Eri Kisaki has a certain fondness for Akutagawa Hiko, especially considering how sweetly he'd spoken to her just now.

"Of everyone here who has been to the restroom, you are the only one who could do that, Mr. Tonoyama."

Everyone looked at the suspect who had entered the restroom. He was as thin as a stick and was one of the college students known for his poor physical fitness. He had even brought a thesis to the coffee shop to write, so he didn't seem like someone who could complete such a physically demanding task.

A playboy collapsed to the ground upon seeing blood and hasn't recovered yet; he doesn't seem like a native of Beika Town at all.

And then there's Eri Kisaki, a lady...

They were also eliminated, leaving only Dian Shan Shisan. Seeing everyone staring at him, he waved his hands repeatedly: "Why are you all looking at me like that? I didn't kill anyone. Do you have any evidence?"

Who saw me kill someone?!

Eri Kisaki interjected, "These evidences don't really form a complete chain of evidence. If I were to defend him, he could be acquitted in just a few hours."

Before Tonoyama Juzo could even breathe a sigh of relief, Eri Kisaki turned to Akutagawa Hiko and asked, "You must have evidence, right?"

Akutagawa Hiko nodded, pointing to Tonoyama Juzo's left middle finger, which was wrapped in bandages: "That bandage is the key evidence."

Just then, Conan said in a childlike voice, "I heard it. Uncle twisted his finger playing rugby, so he can't even wear his wedding ring anymore."

Then, Conan said sarcastically, "But shouldn't wedding rings be worn on the ring finger? Uncle wasn't wearing his middle finger when he came either. When did he change it? Was it in the bathroom?"

The thirteen pupils of Dianshan were affected by an earthquake.

That brat.

However, this wasn't the end of it. Eri, already a little annoyed by her daughter's prolonged absence, couldn't help but retort sarcastically, "You're such a confused killer—."

"You actually carried such crucial evidence on your person, now even I can't defend you."

Akutagawa blinked, wondering if he should learn some of the art of being sarcastic and unsettling, but now wasn't the time to think about that. He added, "You knew the deceased, right? He kept checking his watch in the shop, looking very agitated. He must have made an appointment with someone."

"And you deliberately changed your look so that she wouldn't recognize you at first glance, right? If you seriously investigate your relationships, it wouldn't be hard to pin the suspicion on you. You really like doing useless work."

With a roar, Tonoyama Juzo showed no intention of surrendering and charged directly at Conan.

Conan's glasses reflected a cold light as he dodged to the side, aiming for the assailant's ankle, though he didn't use his leg-enhancing shoes.

This caused the burly man to fall flat on his face.

Unexpectedly, the tough, thick-skinned man was still not giving up and charged towards Eri, then threw her over his shoulder again.

As the burly man charged toward him, Akutagawa Hiko felt a sense of destiny, as if it were meant to be and had finally come to pass. He delivered a precise chop to the man's neck.

The burly man's body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

When Inspector Megure received a disapproving glare from Eri Kisaki, he abruptly ordered, "What are you standing there for? Get up there!"

The incident was perfectly resolved, but Ran Mouri's cry of "Mom!" really shocked Conan. It was then that Conan remembered an aunt who had been particularly strict with him when he was a child.

To ease his emotions, Conan cast a malicious glance at the playboy, determined not to let him harm an innocent girl: "Uncle, what you just said was hard to understand."

"What does it mean that a woman will be devoted to you once you possess her? What does that mean? Didn't your teacher teach you that?"

Just then, several terrifying auras enveloped Brother Hua.
