Detective Conan: Beika Town's Complete Transformation into Los Santos

Page 74

Koizumi Akako had almost never encountered any difficulties in the past, thanks to the convenience of magic, and she didn't need to think about conspiracies and tricks.

Therefore, the little tricks and schemes she played in front of Lin Che were really not enough to impress him.

Even their response after their thoughts were exposed was like that of a human bot.

After a long silence, Koizumi Akako sighed, "Alright, I do have ulterior motives."

"What's the point?"

"I'm after you... Never mind, I won't hurt you anyway, and I haven't lied to you about any of the details in mastering dark magic."

Lin Che stared at Koizumi Akako for a long time.

Finally, the witch couldn't hold back any longer and attacked Lin Che for the first time, slapping him, but Lin Che easily dodged it.

"Are you going or not?!" Koizumi Akako's glare was quite captivating.

Lin Che stretched and said, "Go, go, but you have to stay by my side the whole time. There's no room for negotiation."

"......it is good."

"Then let's go. From now on, do as I say."

The two strolled slowly from the treetops to the forest, and then onto the road.

Soon, a truck drove up from behind.

And Conan once again asked the same old question.

"Mr. Lin, what are you doing here???"

Conan was completely dumbfounded. He never imagined that he could run into Lin Che just by casually going out with Uncle Confused to do a job.

This is deep in the mountains and forests!

Heiji Hattori was also surprised, but he was also pleasantly surprised.

Last time in Osaka, he was injured and hospitalized while chasing Kaito Kid on his bicycle, which prevented him from going to the castle with him afterwards.

He never had a chance to probe and investigate Lin Che, whom Conan described as "mysterious," "powerful," and "already aware of his identity."

Now that we've run into each other, we definitely need to have another good showdown.

Kogoro Mouri still harbored some resentment towards Lin Che, because he considered Lin Che to be a deserter.

Although there's nothing to condemn about Lin Che, it's still uncomfortable to feel uncomfortable.

However, the superficial friendliness must be maintained.

At the strong invitation of the bumbling detective and others, Lin Che led Koizumi Akako to sit in the cargo box at the back of the truck.

Everyone is sitting here, but the posture is not very elegant, and it's not very comfortable to sit here.

Koizumi Akako was very unhappy and wanted to leave several times, but Lin Che stopped her each time.

I'll teach you a lesson about your spoiled princess temper.

Lin Che glared at Koizumi Akako, then took the initiative to introduce her, "It's quite a coincidence, this is my girlfriend, Koizumi Akako. We came here for a trip to relax, and I didn't expect to run into you all."

Chapter 90 Visible Dark Magic Power

Koizumi Akako: ? ? ?

Your girlfriend.

I?

Koizumi Akako was furious and used magic to transmit her voice directly to Lin Che's ear, "When did I become your girlfriend? Did I agree to it before you started talking nonsense?"

Lin Che doesn't know magic, so he chose to whisper in the witch's ear, "It's temporary. Can't you agree now? We need a suitable identity to successfully enter that family's house."

Her breath was like wind and mist in my ear, carrying a slightly tingling warmth that made my heart itch.

The witch instinctively flinched, her fair cheeks flushing slightly. "...Alright, but this is only for this time, and there will be no next time!"

The others also looked shocked. Kazuha Toyama and Ran Mouri were somewhat envious, especially after witnessing the two of them being intimate.

Kogoro Mouri felt a little uneasy. He looked at his daughter, then at Akako Koizumi, and wondered, "She should be a high school student too, right?"

She's about the same age as Ran Mouri, and she's traveling alone in this remote mountain area with a boy.

As an old father, just thinking about it makes me very angry.

Koizumi Akako remained arrogant towards others, but considering that she should avoid causing trouble for Lin Che, she simply didn't respond.

This action further convinced Kogoro Mouri that Akako Koizumi was a very rebellious outcast girl, and Lin Che's image in his eyes became increasingly negative.

After a brief introduction, Lin Che took the opportunity to learn why these people had come here.

As usual, the bumbling detective accepted a case, and the client was very generous, paying 50 yen in advance.

Heiji Hattori didn't receive this treatment; he only came to visit after receiving a letter.

However, the contents of his letter did catch Lin Che's attention.

Tonight, live puppets will once again become bait for the spiders.

Besides Conan and the others, there was also an American man in his late twenties on the bus. He had apparently lived here for a while three years ago due to an accident and was now back to visit.

The car soon arrived at its destination: Spider House in Puppet Ridge.

As soon as Koizumi Akako got out of the car, she secretly made a hand gesture.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Che's sudden appearance was like the air between the two of them being suddenly sucked out.

Koizumi Akako flinched in fright and said irritably, "Put on some protection so you don't get contaminated by the spider's magnetic field."

"Then I want it too."

"What do you want! Your purpose in coming here is to be contaminated by the magnetic field."

not far away.

Ran Mouri sighed with a hint of envy, "Mr. Lin and his girlfriend really have a great relationship; they stick together whenever they have the chance."

As she spoke, she suddenly looked at Conan's head, then quickly looked away.

Although Shinichi Kudo and Conan appeared together last time, she still felt that something was off afterwards.

Furthermore, the various mysteries surrounding Conan still exist and have not disappeared despite the appearance of Shinichi Kudo, so she sometimes can't help but suspect that Conan is Shinichi Kudo.

Kogoro Mouri brought four extra people with him when he accepted the request, and he needs to apologize to his employer.

Fortunately, the owners of this place, the "Takeda family," didn't seem to care much.

Under the influence of President Ke's rules, dusk had fallen, and the few pairs of crows flying by made the scene even more desolate.

Lin Che also confirmed today for the first time that Koizumi Akako is indeed completely unaware of the time anomalies in the world of Detective Conan.

The Takeda residence was isolated from the outside world, and soon after entering, everyone's attention was forced to focus on a separate attic.

Robert, a foreigner, couldn't wait to ask about a woman's whereabouts as soon as he entered, only to be told that she had committed suicide three years ago.

And it was only a few days after he left here.

Shortly after, the woman's mother committed suicide as well.

A few days ago, another close friend of the head of the household hanged himself.

And the place where they committed suicide is this very attic.

"I think I'm starting to feel it," Lin Che said softly from the bottom of the attic.

In his view, the attic looked as if it were being entangled by dense yet indistinct spider silk, and the whole thing looked strangely like a large beehive.

Beyond the spider silk, streaks of dark purple light, resembling flowing light, were slowly circulating.

Those streaks of light must be the black magic power that Koizumi Akako was talking about; they do look quite like it.

Lin Che quickly told Koizumi Akako what he had seen.

The witch slowly drew a question mark and tilted her head in confusion, "Why can you see so clearly?"

Lin Che was speechless. "I'm asking you a question."

At this time.

Hattori Heiji suddenly walked over and, without any sense of boundaries, put his arm around Lin Che's shoulder. "What are you two whispering about? It's time to eat."

Lin Che silently pushed the black-skinned man away. "Thanks for the reminder."

There was also a Conan in the distance watching them.

I always feel like this kid has a lot to say to me but can't find the opportunity.

Lin Che naturally took Koizumi Akako's hand. "Let's go eat."

Before the witch could react, she had already been dragged two or three steps away.

Wait until she comes to her senses.

My first reaction was: How dare you!

My second thought was: as his "girlfriend," refusing to hold hands would give her away.

My third reaction was: Why should I care about him? Give me back my hand!

Koizumi Akako tried to pull her hand back but couldn't budge it, which made her so angry that she used her fingernails to prick Lin Che's palm.

But it's of no use.

Because Lin Che is immune to pain, he only feels a numb sensation.

People are sometimes very easy to compromise.

When Koizumi Akako realized that she couldn't break free using ordinary methods, she quickly gave up struggling.

The Takeda family was quite large, consisting of three brothers, all of whom were married, and they also had children and an elderly mother.

The arrival of Lin Che and Koizumi Akako made it difficult to distribute the ingredients. The host couldn't make sure that every dish was the same, so they repeatedly apologized to everyone.

However, this atmosphere was quickly broken up as some people drank and others chatted.

Lin Che repeatedly refused to drink and was relegated to "the table with the kids," where he was repeatedly harassed by both Hattori Heiji and Conan.

They kept asking all sorts of questions, and my head was about to explode.

Koizumi Akako was even more pitiful.

Despite her haughty demeanor and desire to remain alone without interacting with these Muggles, she found herself surrounded by Ran Mouri and Kazuha Toyama, chatting incessantly.

With the intention of not causing trouble for Lin Che, she reluctantly listened and made a few perfunctory remarks.

The topics Ran and Mouri discussed were quite interesting, and their gossip opened up a whole new world for her.

She had never integrated into any group of girls before, and all she heard were compliments. In her spare time, she would do all sorts of magical research by herself.

Lin Che was also keeping an eye on the witch's condition. He was worried that she might throw a tantrum and cause some trouble for everyone.

But now it seems that the woman is listening cautiously, her eyes full of curiosity and surprise, and her overall image is very surreptitious.

Conan is also a fan of Koizumi Akako.

After several rounds of comparison, he completely ruled out the possibility that Koizumi Akako was the woman he had seen last night.

Soon, the members of the Takeda family left their seats one by one, each with their own reasons.

Robert, a foreigner, also wanted to borrow a car to go to a more distant place to see the scenery. Kazuha wanted to go with him and also brought Ran Mouri and Akako Koizumi along.

Lin Che knew that people were about to start dying.

I wonder what changes will happen to that attic later.

Those dark magic powers and spider silk were only visible.

Moreover, judging from Koizumi Akako's reaction at the time, it was quite unexpected for the witch that he could see those things.

Lin Che felt that this might mean he was truly talented in the field of dark magic.

Magic, ah, I can't wait any longer.
