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

Chapter 271 Officer Yokomizo Working Overtime

It's not easy for an ordinary person to fake that kind of behavior. That kind of greasiness and sleazy that comes from the bone is something that only an actress of his mother's caliber could pull off.

"Conan, where are you going?"

Seeing that Genichiro Kinjo, whose eyesight was not good, was not with his servants, Conan was about to go and investigate some information when Ran stopped him.

"I need to go to the toilet!"

After saying that, he ran away without looking back.

Seeing Ran's worried expression, Maeda Satoshi reassured her, "Don't worry, Conan is smart, he won't get lost here."

Ran sighed. She knew Conan was very capable, and she wasn't worried about his safety, but rather about Conan's health: "Conan went to the restroom before coming to the restaurant. He often goes to the restroom, so I'm a little worried."

Satoshi Maeda and Akiko Sayama exchanged a glance, their faces showing concern: "This is indeed a serious problem, and we should take him to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible."

Xiaolan thought about it carefully for a while and nodded firmly.

"Oh dear, it's so late already, and Detective Akutagawa still won't tell me who the real Baron of the Night is?"

Hideko Kamijou's gaze held a hint of sorrow, as if she had already concluded that Hiko Akutagawa knew which one among this group was the key figure the organizers had planted among them.

"Even if you don't tell me directly, I can accept even the slightest clue."

Akutagawa Hiko calmly shook his head: "Ms. Kamijou, detectives aren't gods. Deductions without clues are just baseless guesses. Everyone avoids me. What can I do?"

Sonoko chimed in, "That's right. They treat Hiko like some kind of monster. Apart from Mr. Maeda and Ms. Kamijou, it seems like everyone dislikes him."

Hideko Kamijou could understand. Most of them were programmers, and it was normal to feel pressured when a detective suddenly appeared and competed with them for that precious virus program.

People who don't usually interact with detectives tend to avoid them when they are being tested, and it's best not to even see them. It's said that micro-expressions can reveal a lot of information.

After all, the news reports are full of exaggerated praise. If they're not careful, it would be terrible if they were to expose everything all at once.

"I can understand that. Everyone wants to get the Dark Baron. Having someone like Detective Akutagawa as an opponent is really nerve-wracking."

Their tour group, officially called the Izu Detective Tour Group, was searching for the Dark Baron by uncovering his "crimes" and using detective methods to expose him.

Among a group of amateur detectives, a famous detective suddenly appeared. At first, even she was very worried, thinking that there was no chance of winning.

I was planning to chat for a while longer, but since I couldn't get any useful information out of him, I decided to go back to my room to rest. I planned to wait for the Dark Baron to commit his crime and provide me with clues, and then see if I could successfully steal his thunder.

Suddenly, I heard a commotion outside.

Hideko Kamijou frowned slightly, a bad feeling suddenly creeping into her heart.

From the anxious words of the hurried waiter, one could vaguely hear phrases like "falling from a building" and "dead people." As a detective, Akutagawa Hiko naturally stood up abruptly.

"Something seems to have happened. Shall we go down and check it out?"

Hideko Kamijou nodded and put on a coat.

There happened to be a waiter in the elevator, and the very attentive Hideko Kamijou immediately asked, "Excuse me, what exactly happened downstairs? Why is it in such a mess?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard from others that someone fell to their death, and their clothes were very strange, like that of some kind of Baron Dark Night, yes, a character from a novel."

"The Dark Baron?!"

Akutagawa glanced at the waiter who was startled by Sonoko and Kamijou Hideko's simultaneous screams and couldn't help but think to himself, "Is this really just hearsay? It's a bit too detailed."

When the three arrived, Conan was already past the bewildered Izu police officers, performing an autopsy, and at that moment he took off the white mask.

Ran, who came down with Conan, was the closest among those who recognized the deceased at this moment, and naturally the second person to recognize the lecherous old man Conan mentioned. As for who was the first, it was of course Conan, who personally removed the mask.

"This is... Mr. Jiang Yuan?!"

Yokomizo, who had met Ran a few times at the crime scene, asked疑惑地问道：“Ran, do you know him?”

A familiar voice rang out, and Inspector Yokomizo turned around in surprise: "Mr. Akutagawa!"

Akutagawa nodded to the coral-headed police officer he had met twice before, and answered on Ran's behalf, "He is a member of the detective tour group we are in."

After some explanation, Yokomizo Sango suddenly realized: "I see, so the purpose of your tour group is to expose the identity of the Dark Baron. Then this Ehara Tokio is one of the organizers?"

As he spoke, Yokomizo Sango stroked his chin, puzzled, and asked, "So, was it suicide, homicide, or simply an accident—?"

Akutagawa glanced at Kamijou Hideko. His sunglasses couldn't stop him from seeing the tears falling. After handing her a handkerchief, he walked up to the body, picked up Conan who was still examining it, and looked him up and down.

Hideko Kamijou was slightly taken aback. This detective was quite gentle outside of cases.

Yokomizo Sango quickly stepped forward: "Mr. Akutagawa, did you notice anything?"

Akutagawa nodded thoughtfully: "The deceased was most likely murdered, and he shouldn't be the Dark Baron from the organizers that we're looking for."

"Explain in detail!"

Yokomizo Sango was amazed by Akutagawa Hiko's efficiency and quickly asked him to elaborate.

Akutagawa Hiko didn't hold back and directly pointed out the several suspicious points that Conan had painstakingly found: "First of all, Mr. Ebara only wore one glove. If he deliberately pretended to commit suicide like this, it's basically impossible that he didn't wear it or that it fell off during the struggle."

Officer Yokomizo nodded. In this era of frequent crimes, there were actually quite a few real suicides, and he could roughly guess the psychology of those who committed suicide.

Seeing that he didn't need to explain further, Akutagawa continued, "And this tie, I saw the deceased during the day, and he didn't tie it like this."

Conan immediately began providing evidence: "Hey, this is the tie that the waitress said Mr. Jiang Yuan left in the restaurant!"

When Yokomizo took a look, he found that the way the tie was tied was indeed very different from the way it was tied on the corpse.

"And this one, the belt is tied completely backwards. Someone else dressed him up like this, so this could very well be a premeditated murder."
