Chapter 185 I’m Not... I’m Just...

PS before the article: Warning, warning, the dark energy in the article ahead rises sharply, children can skip it directly, because I myself feel that it is too dark... The distorted influence is a bit heavy, so children please judge for yourself... I declare again that the story is purely fictional, and any similarity is purely coincidental.

. . . . . .

A few minutes later, Conan and Hattori hung up the phone. Conan's eyes were dull after hanging up the phone, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

With a crisp sound, I placed a stack of papers in front of Conan. "I'm going to take a shower. Please clean up here before Xiaolan comes in."

After that, I ignored Conan and went to the bathroom, leaving Conan alone in a daze.

Yes, the morning report, Hattori's call. Conan was confused again. In the report, Hattori Heizo concealed the truth of the matter, and never mentioned the mysterious master, Kaoru, from beginning to end, and even told his subordinates not to provoke the mysterious master. Hattori's call made Conan even more confused, but all these questions were solved after Kaoru took out the stack of papers.

【King Cobra, formerly known as Akanohara, is the second-in-command of the "Ryuchido" gang in Kansai Osaka. After the death of the first-in-command, King Cobra, he took over all of his brother's assets. He controls more than 85% of the black trade in Kansai. He opened 82 casinos, 17 KTVs, and 127 brothels. He participated in drug transactions of 674 million kilograms. He was suspected of 13 murders, 6 arson cases, and rape cases. The above information is the verified information.】

[Green Snake, originally named Miyamoto Noko, was the deputy of the Red Snake King. After the Red Snake King died, he became the deputy of the Cobra King. He managed all drug transactions in Longdi Cave. He was involved in 18 huge money laundering and counterfeit cases. He was involved in 342 murders and 13 arson cases. The above information is the verified information.]

[The Butcher, originally named Yama Asajiro. The leader of the assassins under King Cobra, the champion of the underground ring fight, involved in 479 murders, 13 arson cases, 138 rape cases, and 42 robberies. . . The above information is verified information.]

【Fusang, original name...】

【Sloth, original name...】

【Water Buffalo, original name...】

Each piece of information was filled with detailed information about a person, which made Conan shudder with fear!

Yes, there was only one stack of information papers, about thirty or forty sheets, each of which contained detailed information and photos of a criminal. From date of birth to the crimes committed, everything was laid out before him. There were even some photos of the scene attached. However, what frightened Conan the most was the last line of words on the paper. The above information is the verified information. This means that the crimes committed by these criminals are far more than that.

Conan quickly scanned each person's information. Every time he turned a page, Conan felt his hair stand on end, and even his breathing became rapid due to anger and fear.

Character information, photo evidence, crime regulations. A simple stack of papers made Conan feel an incomparable guilt. When Conan finished reading the last page, Conan calmed down. After sitting quietly for a while, Conan stood up and sorted the information together, and then put the paper into the shredder in the room. He turned around and tidied up his and Xun's beds, especially the blood-stained hemostatic cotton that Xun had scattered on the ground.

After tidying up the room, Conan walked to the window. He looked at the rays of energetic sunlight in the early morning. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Every person in the information was an unforgivable villain, but, just last night, they all died. Died under Xun's gun.

"...As expected." Conan said vaguely. "Kaoru... you really want to become the Dark Knight!"

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

"Hu..." Not long after, I walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower, wiping my wet hair. When I walked into the room, I saw Conan staring at the window in a daze. The bed had been made, and beside the bed, a black plastic bag was lying quietly, filled with cotton wool and alcohol that I used to wipe the wound. The original stack of information had disappeared.

"Where is the information I gave you?" I asked Conan.

"It's broken." Conan said, and raised his chin towards the shredder.

"Have you finished reading it all?"

"Ah."

"Is there anything you want to say?"

"..." Conan was silent, and just turned his head to look out the window again. Seeing Conan silent, I did not continue to ask, but took out the prepared bandages and other medical tools again, and did the final medical work for myself. Then I put on my clothes and lay on the bed to rest quietly. I didn't sleep last night, and now I need a proper rest to restore some physical strength. After all, I will leave Osaka and return to Tokyo with my father and Xiaolan later, so I can't look too listless.

"The information you gave me..." After a moment of silence, Conan slowly spoke. "Where did you get that information?"

"I got it from my intelligence boss." I didn't pretend to be asleep. Although I was really sleepy, I had to answer Conan's question.

“Who is your intelligence boss?”

"You don't need to know this." I didn't open my eyes, but just answered lightly.

"He is the leader of the Tokyo Black Force, right?"

"..." Conan's words made my heart skip a beat. I instantly thought of several possible information leaks, but undoubtedly, none of them was true.

"Don't think about it. I didn't dig out any information from you, nor did I investigate your background in depth. This is just my own reasoning and judgment." Seeing that I didn't answer, Conan guessed what I was thinking in an instant and told me bluntly.

"So you still investigated me?" I countered. "Yes, but it didn't work." Conan didn't care if I was angry or not, he just said calmly. "You hid yourself very well. I used many methods but couldn't find out anything about you, not even a little bit."

"Oh? You didn't ask your dad?" I was surprised.

"...I asked, but your sister Yukiko stopped me." Conan laughed at himself. Hearing Conan's words, I couldn't help but smile.

"...Xun, is the faction you belong to like this too?" Conan put aside his smile and asked me seriously.

"How can you be so sure of my..."

"If you don't have the same strength, you can't get such accurate information." Conan interrupted me before I finished my words. "When you took me into the dragon cave and had the first contact with the green snake, I could see that you were very calm. Maybe it's because you have had such experience before. Otherwise, even if you are extremely powerful, you would be nervous if it was your first time in such a dangerous place."

"...What if I'm super powerful?"

"Do you think I will believe it?" Conan looked at me with disdain.

"...Go on." I spread my hands.

"Admit it?" Conan raised his eyes.

"Since you think so, what can I say..." I closed my eyes and continued to rest.

"Okay, then... the speed at which you get intelligence every time is too fast. You can't do this without strong skills. I can even guess that you have some connections with the government. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to get the information about the Nagato family in the last wealthy incident so quickly. Some internal financial information is specially approved by the government. The fact that you have even mastered these proves that your background is very strong, so strong that it is easy for you to trip up the Nagato family. Of course, this is just a guess."

"..." I didn't say anything, but closed my eyes and rested quietly, but at this moment I was already very surprised. It can't be said that I revealed too much, but Conan never showed this information on his face, but kept it in his heart, and then said it in today's showdown. This really surprised me.

"Let me get back to the point. Right after you took me to meet King Cobra, you killed him before we even had a chance to talk. You caused such a scene for no reason. This is not your character. It is even more impossible that you just wanted me to see the dark world... Uh, no, maybe you did let me see it. Because the elimination of one force means that the barrier of another force is broken, which is also a way to let me see the dark world." Conan did not have the excitement and passion that he had when he solved the case. Instead, he spoke to me calmly and calmly. "The above is my reasoning. Whether it is correct or not, Xun, I want to hear your answer." Conan looked at me seriously. "I don't want to investigate you. I just... want to know what you really think."

After that, the room fell into a brief silence again. The two people seemed to have tacitly chosen to keep silent. After a long silence, my voice reached Conan's ears.

"Kudo, after what you've experienced this time, do you have any thoughts about the information given to you?"

"...I have never understood murder. For a detective, putting criminals in jail is their salvation. When they get out of jail, they will definitely get a new life." As he spoke, Conan put on the glasses that he had forgotten on the table. "But, those people in the information you showed me...they deserve to die!"

For the first time, I saw murderous intent in Conan's eyes. Although it was only a flash, I definitely caught it.

"...My current intelligence boss works for the government again."

"...Is that so?" Conan frowned.

"A few months ago, he had completely cleaned himself up. To make amends, he started working for the government. This assignment was one of the headaches for the government. I happened to notice it during the screening process and took it on."

"So, your action this time is to help the government?"

"...I just want you to see the dark world clearly."

"...Can I know more?"

"You know too much." I leaned forward and huddled under the covers. "I'll take a short break. You should go take a shower. We'll be back soon."

"...Okay." Seeing my expression, Conan didn't ask any more questions, and stood up and walked towards the bathroom. Conan stopped in front of the bathroom, turned around and said something to me. "Xun, I'm sorry. I..."

"Just do your job well. The Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era."

"Hehe...you too. Bruce Wayne of the Heisei era." With a smile, Conan walked into the bathroom.

I opened my eyes when I heard the sound of water, then slowly closed them again, but a wicked smile slipped across the corners of my mouth.

"...Bruce Wayne of the Heisei era?" I twitched my lips. "Innocent child, but anyway...Conan's brainwashing plan was successful."

. . . . . .

Are you surprised? I had this idea since Conan first said he wanted to see the dark world. Find an opportunity to take him to see the dark world, and then use this method to make him feel the horror of darkness. Then, while erasing the enemy, give Conan a new worldview. Tell him that some evil people are no longer bound by the law and must fight violence with violence. Plant this twisted seed in Conan's heart, and tell him through the facts and evidence in front of him that even the government will not object to doing so. When Conan's eyes showed a faint murderous aura, I knew that the plan was successful. Although I exposed my strength and some background information, the core content was still smuggled. In this way, although Conan will still strongly oppose me to kill people, this situation has brought great convenience to my later tasks, which is enough, because in Conan's eyes, his values ​​are no longer [Don't kill], but [Don't kill. But some people deserve to die. ]

Bruce Wayne? No, I wasn't trying to be the Dark Knight, I just... wanted to brainwash Conan.
