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

Chapter 180 You Can't Leave

Chapter 180 You Can't Leave

Upon hearing Sonoko Suzuki's words, President Nakayama broke out in a cold sweat. As a company president, subscribing to newspapers and watching television are considered basic professional skills.

Of course, this behavior has nothing to do with slacking off. Rather, it's about paying attention to various news to avoid being caught off guard by sudden ideas from above, and to prevent any emerging companies of the same type from launching an attack on them.

Therefore, he was actually quite familiar with the famous detective in front of him.

However, he hadn't paid attention to this kind of thing before. For a law-abiding, positive, and outstanding young president, while he admired this overly young famous detective, that was all.

But Fang Fang never expected that he would encounter this rather legendary detective just as he was preparing to complete his revenge plan.

Moreover, the moment she spoke, she stopped him from having the car with the mirror taken away. Was it a coincidence or did she discover something?

"President?"

The numb secretary seemed a bit conflicted and passed the question back to President Nakayama, who was usually a very nice person.

"Since Mr. Akutagawa says so, let's not touch that car for now."

Conan looked at Akutagawa Hiko with envy. The adult form was really useful. He could easily use his reputation to command the police and suspects to some extent at the crime scene.

Before he was poisoned and turned into this, Shinichi Kudo was a formidable figure at crime scenes. Now...

Not long ago, he thought that without Akutagawa Hiko present, he could solve the case in peace without worrying that someone would suddenly appear and say that the murderer had been found while he was still looking for clues.

Can you believe it? The man actually threw her out of the crime scene.

Fortunately, his presence was always low enough, and he had learned a trick from Akutagawa Hiko, so no one would notice if he sneaked back.

It's all tears when I talk about it.

Upon arrival, the police immediately cordoned off the scene and conducted a preliminary autopsy.

To be honest, if it were Kogoro Mouri, it would be faster and more accurate. Over the years, he hasn't forgotten the skills he acquired as a detective.

"Megure Police Department."

Akutagawa Hiko shook hands with Inspector Megure, who was excited to see his younger brother. It was probably not a misperception; Inspector Megure looked much more haggard than when they met not long ago.

Indeed, that was the case. These days, Akutagawa Hiko didn't go out much, but there were still quite a few murder cases in Inspector Megure's jurisdiction in Tokyo. Without the help of detectives, Inspector Megure had lost a lot of hair.

Now, the first thing Inspector Megure thinks of when he sees Akutagawa Hiko is that he can finally leave work early today and enjoy his wife's gentle care.

President Nakayama welcomed everyone into his office, and Inspector Megure began his usual questioning: "So, when the incident occurred, Mr. Nakayama was in this office, and Ms. Asagi was in the secretary's office next door?"

Miss Numb nodded and said, "That's right."

Inspector Megure pulled out his notebook; unlike some detectives who have photographic memories, he didn't possess one. "So, who can vouch for you?"

President Nakayama was slightly taken aback, wondering if the detective had said something to the police.

Inspector Megure explained, "Because I thought about it, and besides the abandoned building next door, it's also possible that the steel was pushed down from this side."

"This way?"

Upon hearing this, President Nakayama breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right. According to the administrator, because it was the weekend, all the companies on the third floor and above were closed, and there were only the two of you in the entire building at the time."

President Nakayama frowned and said, "This is really a headache. There's no one else who can provide us with an alibi."

Akutagawa looked around, silently lamenting the low rate of camera coverage in the Detective Conan world. But he couldn't help the possibility that the cameras might just break down at that particular time, or help criminals commit perjury.

"By the way, there are some things the police can find out with a simple investigation. I'll tell you beforehand, but I've had a serious dispute with Fujii because he wants to leave the company and start a new cleaning company."

A hint of melancholy crossed Zhongshan's face: "What's even more outrageous is that he also wants to poach several excellent employees to work for his company. Therefore, we have been negotiating this matter, and today is no exception."

This is already a very strong motivation to kill, especially since there are many people in Beika Town who feel looked down upon and impulsively kill others just because someone glances at them.

But Akutagawa knew that this was actually a trivial factor, and the real reason was related to his sister.

His sister was killed in January when a piece of steel fell from the sky and killed her while she was passing by a construction site. President Nakayama felt extremely guilty. He originally thought that it was because he, her brother who had been taking care of her like a parent, was annoying, which is why she left the company and went to Yokohama to develop her career.

But it wasn't until he went to collect her sister's belongings that he discovered the secret that had happened right under his nose, a secret he was unaware of.

It turns out that the two of them had been together behind his back for a long time, but in the end, the deceased got engaged to the daughter of a big company and dumped his sister, which led to his sister leaving in anger.

Although being hit by the steel was purely accidental, it's hard for Zhongshan not to be angry with Fujii for starting something and then abandoning it. Now, this person wants to go out and start his own business and even poach excellent employees.

This makes it hard for Chusan not to think that her younger sister left for Yokohama because she was abandoned, and eventually died unexpectedly.

So, taking advantage of the fact that the companies upstairs were closed today, he arranged to meet with Fujii to discuss his departure from the company. Then, he used a trap he had set on Fujii's inevitable route to kill him and complete his revenge.

Just after Nakayama finished explaining his suspicions, Officer Takagi jogged to the door to catch his breath before coming in: "Reporting to the Inspector, we found traces of steel friction and iron filings on the roof of the abandoned building."

Inspector Megure looked up in surprise: "So, the steel was pushed down from the abandoned building next door?"

Takagi Wataru nodded: "That's right, and we found a harmonica next to the deceased with the deceased's name on it, so it should belong to the deceased. However, there's something strange—"

Inspector Megure rolled his eyes at Wataru Takagi; he was hoping to leave work early. "What strange place?"

"The harmonica looks like it's been specially wiped clean; there's not a single fingerprint!"

Zhongshan suddenly froze, a bead of cold sweat dripping from his forehead: "I have something to attend to, can I go out and take care of it first?"

Before Inspector Megure could answer, a familiar hand stopped him: "You can't leave—"
