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

Chapter 172 Holding the Script

Akutagawa noticed that when Kogoro Mouri mentioned him and the famous detective, Dr. Date Takashi's face showed a fleeting moment of tension and panic, indicating that his mental fortitude was still somewhat lacking.

Several railway police officers had already set up a cordon, but the deceased's appearance could be clearly seen through the windows and open train doors.

"Judging from your expressions, the deceased seems to be from your guild?"

Seeing the two men's unpleasant expressions, Akutagawa Hiko casually asked a question.

Dr. Sato glanced at Takashi Date with a strange expression, then nodded and said, "He's Dr. Utsumi; we were together last night too."

After identifying themselves, Hiko Akutagawa and Kogoro Mori received a warm welcome from Yosuke Kobayashi, the chief of the railway police: "We've heard so much about you two. We'd appreciate your assistance with the search."

Kogoro Mouri burst into laughter: "Hahaha, it's nothing, it's just our duty as famous detectives!"

Yosuke Kobayashi was very polite to Kogoro Mouri, but he was extremely eager to meet Hiko Akutagawa, having heard of the latter's incredible speed in solving cases.

Akutagawa Hiko leaned closer to examine the deceased, whose eyes were wide open and whose fingers were twisted inexplicably: "It seems the cause of death was heart failure. There are needle marks and bloodstains on the arm, which should be caused by being injected with a high concentration of potassium chloride."

Yosuke Kobayashi quickly stepped forward to check: "That's right, there are indeed traces of intravenous injection."

Conan, taking advantage of his childhood, quickly shouted, "I know that! If we inject a high concentration of potassium chloride intravenously, we can cause death with symptoms exactly like heart failure!"

Yosuke Kobayashi felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the child who smiled innocently but spoke such cold words with a mouth that was 37 degrees open.

However, judging from the nonchalant expressions of the two detectives and the two girls, perhaps he is too inexperienced. Have children these days evolved to this extent?

Having already made some guesses, Conan continued, "If it were a doctor, it would be easy to get a syringe and a high concentration of potassium chloride from the hospital."

Sato Taizo had already suspected the guild member who had suddenly run away and only recently reunited with Conan. He said to Conan, "It's surprising how well this little brother knows."

Conan chuckled, "Oh, because my favorite subject is chemistry!"

Ignoring Conan's probing, Akutagawa, after collecting all the clues at the scene, found the flight attendant selling coffee: "Hello, did the deceased buy coffee from you?"

It's nice to be talked to by a handsome guy, but the problem is that he's a detective!

The flight attendant wiped her hands, looking very nervous: "Yes, is there something wrong with the coffee?"

Akutagawa Hiko smiled and shook his head: "The coffee is fine, but do you remember the scene when you sold him the coffee?"

The flight attendant recalled, "Yes, I remember it very clearly because he was the last passenger and he was paying in a 10,000 yuan bill. I didn't have any 1,000 yuan bills to break, so I gave him all coins as change."

"I remember giving him change one coin at a time, and it left a deep impression on me."

Akutagawa nodded and walked over to a wealthy woman who wore sunglasses and was covered in jewelry, seemingly constantly proclaiming, "I have a lot of money."

"In other words, you saw a man wearing a dark blue coat, sunglasses, and a beard sitting next to the victim—"

The wealthy woman looked at the young detective intently investigating the case, pondering whether she should get a cat, and nodded somewhat casually, saying, "That's right."

Just then, Kogoro Mouri and Yosuke Kobayashi concluded that this was a simple robbery and murder, and decided not to get involved any further.

"etc!"

Akutagawa Hiko quickly stopped him. If it were a perfect crime that no one else could see through, that would be fine, but ignoring such a big loophole would undoubtedly make him a novice.

Given the high crime rate over the years, those who are now focused on cases may not be good at completely solving cases and finding the culprit, but finding one or two loopholes is too easy for them.

"This was a premeditated murder, not a robbery and murder."

"What?!"

Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Akutagawa Hiko couldn't help but facepalm. When Kogoro Mouri was on fire, he was truly skilled; when he was confused, he was truly confused.

"Think about it, what kind of robber would specifically target a strong man who doesn't look like he has much money, while ignoring a woman who looks wealthy nearby?"

The two looked at the woman who exuded arrogance and scratched their heads: "That makes sense."

Akutagawa Hiko continued, "Besides, what kind of robber would choose to kill someone by intravenous injection? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"

Yosuke Kobayashi quickly asked, "Mr. Akutagawa, do you know who the murderer is?"

Akutagawa Hiko nodded: "However, I'll still need your help to confirm this."

Next, under the instructions of Hiko Akutagawa, Yosuke Kobayashi called the train conductor to inquire about the exact departure time of the train the deceased was on when it arrived at Mizunokawa Station.

And whether he received a phone call, and if so, the reason given could make the train wait for him for a few minutes.

After receiving the call back, Yosuke Kobayashi seemed very excited: "Mr. Akutagawa, your reasoning was absolutely correct. The train was indeed delayed by a few minutes. They said it was a contract more important than life itself, and they seemed to be in a great hurry."

"Well, it seems everything is quite obvious now. All that's left is to check the fingerprints."

As a man with a script in hand, Akutagawa Hiko knew very well how arrogant that man was. If there were two surveillance cameras in the car, he wouldn't be so cocky.

Faced with Akutagawa's reasoning, Date Takashi, like a proud red rooster, raised his head: "So what? Even if there's that phone call, and that call is recorded, and the voice is the same as mine, does that prove it was me?"

"I haven't even left the Hot Spring Line."

Akutagawa Hiko said calmly, "In fact, as long as you make the call, some people with technical skills can easily extract the call records, which are sufficient as evidence."

After saying that, ignoring his unpleasant expression, she continued, "And since you said you've been on the Yunoyama Line the whole time, there should have been a ticket check. Even if you said you lost your ticket, the ticket checker should at least remember it."

Date Takashi retorted stubbornly, "So what? The ticket inspector has to check so many tickets; how could he possibly remember everyone?"

For those who waste time and disturb innocent people's meals, a strong crackdown is necessary. Akutagawa Hiko directly pointed out the most crucial evidence in this case—
