It should be said that Lin Che already knew about his information, but he just revealed it now.
"Who exactly are you?" Kaito Kuroba's voice was sinister.
Lin Che started the car. "Someone who poses no threat to you."
This is true.
He has no conflicting stances with Kaito Kuroba, even though the latter is a top-tier "white mage".
If possible, Kaito Kuroba would still be the "friend" he desperately wants.
This kid, like Conan, is the protagonist of his own world, a top-tier mechanic monster and a numerical monster. It would be best to have him by my side.
As the old saying goes, "A hero needs three helpers; one cannot accomplish great things by going it alone."
Lin Che was even considering taking down Makoto Kyogoku, the most powerful numerical monster, so that when he challenged the organization in the future, he could directly form a team of numerical monsters.
He remembered that Gosho Aoyama had said that characters like Makoto Kyogoku and Kaito Kid would not participate in the main Conan storyline because it would cause a serious imbalance in the power between the two sides.
Since the author has said so, Lin Che will definitely have to find a way to go against the author in order to have the best chance of taking down the organization.
While at the castle, he told Koizumi Akako that he wanted to live a good life and be a superior person.
There are two paths to achieve this.
You either rely on your own efforts or complete the main storyline to earn rewards.
However, Lin Che's transmigration puts him in direct opposition to the organization, and only by completing the main storyline can he live a peaceful and comfortable life.
Also.
Seeing the expression on Kuroba Kaito's face, Lin Che suddenly thought of the Shadow's unveiling.
The project was forced to stop after only revealing the identities of Gin and vodka.
At the time, he felt that he clearly had information about these people in his mind, but he just couldn't reveal their identities, so he assumed that he needed to find clues in the current world.
But now that I think about it, it was entirely his own fault for thinking that went wrong.
Why didn't he just tell Ai Haibara what he already knew, thus facilitating the acquisition of clues to uncover her identity?
The scripts and character designs in his mind are intelligence in themselves.
Intelligence is meant to be used.
Let's meet and try it out once Ai Haibara finishes decoding the IP.
"Where are you taking me?" Kaito Kuroba asked, trying his best to compose himself.
Lin Che stepped on the gas pedal, saying, "I need to talk to you about something. You shouldn't be able to get away easily in a car traveling at high speed."
Kaito Kuroba: ? ? ?
The GTR picked up speed very quickly.
Overtaking on the center line and flashing lights followed one after another, and all kinds of scenery outside the car window became fleeting streaks of light.
The roar of the engine is indeed exhilarating.

The faster the car went, the more afraid Kaito Kuroba became.
If he had chosen to jump out of the car at that speed, he probably would have died on the spot!
So what exactly are you trying to do?!
The situation has completely reversed, and Lin Che is now only using his own words.
"Don't be afraid, let me show my sincerity first."
"Kaito Kuroba, the second... no, strictly speaking the third generation of Phantom Thief Kid, is searching for the Stone of Destiny, Pandora, because his father has disappeared and his fate is unknown."
"I'm not afraid of anything, except my childhood friend 'Nakamori Aoko' crying, and I'm also afraid of fish."
"Actually, I don't quite understand why you took the initiative to contact me, but it just so happens that I also wanted to contact you."
Lin Che glanced at Kuroba Kaito when he had a spare moment.
“I am not hostile to you, and I would like to make you my friend. I can ask you for help if necessary.”
"You can ask me for help in the future, but not now, because I don't have time."
"As a friend, you shouldn't have any problem teaching me disguise and voice-changing techniques, right?"
As his information was gradually revealed, Kaito Kuroba became numb.
He heard a threat in Lin Che's words, and nothing but a threat.
In summary, it seems to boil down to one sentence: Teach me the art of disguise and voice changing, or I will expose your identity and harm Nakamori Aoko.
But this threat is strange.
Because Lin Che's needs were really too... ordinary.
The other party could have threatened me to do even worse things, such as forcing me to steal valuable treasures, eavesdrop on secrets, or even commit murder.
So... is this really an expression of goodwill and a show of sincerity?
Kaito Kuroba's mind raced, but he decided to ask anyway.
Is this all you want?
"I'll probably need your help with other things in the future, but don't worry, it won't be anything bad, and it'll most likely be extremely beneficial to Conan."
Is Conan involved here?
Kaito Kuroba was once again captivated, but this time he didn't ask any questions rashly.
Too passive.
He could talk to Conan first, and then ponder the deeper meaning behind Lin Che's words.
With so much information and so much speculation, Kaito Kuroba's mind was a bit of a mess.
After a moment's thought, he blew out a deep breath and said, "Okay, I promise you."
Chapter 57 Bargaining
Kaito Kuroba has agreed to teach him disguise and voice-changing techniques.
Although it was expected, it was still somewhat surprising that he agreed so easily.
Lin Che was satisfied and gradually reduced the car's speed.
After driving at high speed for a while, he unconsciously drove the car to Laiye Mountain.
It's really nice to drive around here; the roads are good and there aren't many cars.
After parking the car at the temporary rest stop, Lin Che rolled down the window and asked, "Are you going back by yourself, or would you like to come for a drive up the mountain with me?"
His tone was much calmer now, and the influx of fresh air cooled the atmosphere somewhat.
Kaito Kuroba looked at the mountaintop and said, "If you're going to go up to the top, then take me with you."
Relax and enjoy the view from the mountaintop, then use a hang glider to fly back.
At this altitude, flying straight home shouldn't be a problem.
"What about what you promised me?"
Kaito Kuroba spread his legs and leaned back. "I learn things very quickly and don't have the habit of taking notes. I'll write one down and give it to you when I get back. It will take some time."
He looked at Lin Che, his tone tinged with pride, "After all, these two skills are not so simple. To master them requires not only talent but also a long period of practice."
The meaning is already obvious.
Kaito Kuroba didn't believe that if he really taught Lin Che, Lin Che would truly master the skills.
The air was quiet for a moment.
Kaito Kuroba suddenly moved closer to Lin Che, his eyes brightening and his tone becoming much lighter:
"Didn't you just say you wanted to be friends with me?"
“To tell me my identity and weaknesses, in your words, is to show sincerity, so asking me to teach you how to disguise and change your voice is an extra request.”
"How about this, as a friend, I'll also show my sincerity and give you the disguise technique as a gift."
"As for the voice-changing technique... you can trade it for something else."
Kaito Kuroba had already prepared his speech in an instant, and as if afraid that Lin Che would refuse outright, he quickly continued speaking:
"I need some intelligence."
"What is your relationship with Koizumi Akako? What did she want to talk to you about?"
"She just transferred to my school today. She's arrogant and haughty like a queen. She seems like she's not simple at all."
Why are they starting to haggle over the price?
Lin Che drove the car back onto the road. "You should have said that sooner, at least before you agreed to it."
"Want to know? Trade me something else."
They're talking about my lyrics again!
Kaito Kuroba was getting impatient, gritting his teeth indignantly.
But after the wind cooled him down, he, proud, aggrieved, and unwilling, could only reluctantly agree, because he was genuinely curious.
"Alright, alright, disguising requires creating a disguise face. Ordinary materials won't produce the desired effect, but these materials are all my exclusive secret recipes."
"How about I provide you with two custom-made disguise faces plus five extra materials?"
Lin Che looked straight ahead.
"Double it."
"Don't go too far!"
"Double it."
"You're making it sound like I'm genuinely curious. I'm not listening anymore. You're not the only source of information."
"Eight times."
"..."
"Eight times."
"My silence counts too???"
Kaito Kuroba was so astonished that he wished he could just break free of the seatbelt.
So you're doing business with your friends, right?
OK OK.
Let's see if I can find a chance to get back at you later!
Kaito Kuroba closed his eyes and crossed his arms. "Double it then."
"That was the price just now, now I want four times that." Lin Che was focused on driving.
There was another moment of silence.
But Kaito Kuroba eventually agreed when the car reached the top of the mountain, and he even said he would deliver the goods first and then hear about it later.
He got out of the car, asked Lin Che for the address, and then leaped down the mountain peak and rode away on the wind.
He didn't want to stay in this place for even a moment longer.
That's infuriating!
Lin Che silently watched Kuroba Kaito depart, taking the opportunity to admire the scenery.
When he returned to the city, Ai Haibara sent him a text message with the exact address—the twin towers of Nishitama City.
[I've checked this place. It was funded by the Tokiwa Foundation and is still under construction. If you're going to investigate, be very careful. There are definitely a lot of people and organizations affiliated with such a top-tier foundation.]
"The twin towers confirm that the USB drive is indeed a prop used to connect the plot of this theatrical film."
"Then who should I be looking for? It should only be Hara Yoshiaki."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Che decided to pull over and call Ai Haibara.
