"In the end, it adds up to about 1.111 billion yen!"

When Yuzuru announced the number, he had a mischievous smile on his face.

Upon hearing this string of numbers, Conan felt his vision go black, as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on him. His legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Even if you sold him now, he wouldn't be worth that much money!

"This, this is too much!" Conan couldn't help but exclaim.

Ai took photos of the damaged car with her phone and said with a serious face, "This is all something that should be compensated for. It's your own fault for being so careless."

Yuzuru nodded in agreement, adding, "Exactly, you should consider the consequences before you act recklessly."

If he can't pay it back, he'll have to work illegally to pay it off.

"I..." Conan covered his face, his composure crumbling. Since when did he have to pay for every little thing he damaged while solving a case? Did they have to be so serious?

"However, considering that you're doing this to catch the culprit, we can reduce some of the fees." After watching the scene for a while and roughly understanding what was going on, Ayako stepped forward gently.

Upon hearing this, Conan seemed to see a glimmer of hope and quickly said, "Really? Thank you so much!"

He recognized the woman; she was Sonoko's crazy older sister. He was surprised to find that she was such a kind person, completely different from Hanyu Nan and Haibara Ai, who had been bullying him in tandem.

“Yes!” Ayako nodded, her eyes narrowed. “I’ll round it down for you. No need for 1.11 billion yen. You only need to pay back 1.1 billion yen.”

"Round it down..." Conan opened his mouth, his mind racing, his face filled with despair.

Damn, you're getting ahead of yourself.

Those who get close to Yuzuru Hanyu are all bad people, as expected.

While they were settling accounts there, the police inside the house had already rescued Kenichi Shishido, whose face was covered in blood and whose eyes were filled with despair and fear, from the car.

"What exactly happened?" a policeman asked angrily.

You dared to crash into a police station? Aren't you a little too audacious?

"I...I'm here to turn myself in..." Kenichi Shishido trembled as he raised his bloodied hands.

"Confess?"

The police officers exchanged glances, almost thinking they had misheard. Was such a big fuss really necessary to come to the capital now?

Kenichi Shishido lowered his head and said, "I hit someone, so I came here to turn myself in. Someone was chasing me outside, and I was knocked in."

He didn't expect the other party to be so crazy. He had already stopped in front of the police station, but the other party still rammed into him without hesitation.

That's a Rolls-Royce!

Don't you cherish it at all?

After understanding what had happened, the police officers first handcuffed Kenichi Shishido before going out to investigate.

"You are..."

An elderly police officer looked at the crowd gathered outside and the Rolls-Royce with its slightly damaged front end beside him, his brows furrowed tightly, forming a deep "川" (river) shape.

He then reached out and stopped the impulsive young man who wanted to step forward and question him.

His years of experience inspecting vehicles have given him the ability to instantly tell whether a car is good or bad.

This Rolls-Royce, with its prestigious model and unique license plate, is clearly the kind of car you shouldn't mess with.

"Considering we've known each other for so long, I can give you a few days' grace." Yuzuru glanced at the police officer who came out, then patted Conan, who had a bitter look on his face, and said earnestly, "Go back and tell your family to hurry up and raise the money. You don't want to end up in court, do you?"

“Yes!” Ai agreed. “It’s unbelievable that a famous detective would one day become a defendant and stand in court.”

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, the undefeated Queen of Lawyers is now our legal advisor, so you don't need to think about hiring a lawyer to fight us and win the case," Yu Shengnan added.

Conan was so stung by these barrages of words that he could barely stand up straight. His head drooped, and he looked utterly dejected. He glanced up at the driver who was holding a business card and going up to the police to tell them what had happened, and his heart was filled with even more helplessness.

After a long silence, he said heavily, "I understand, I will pay this money back!"

Evil capitalism!

They just bully me, a primary school student. At my age, I'm burdened with such a huge debt. Do they even want me to live?

Yuzuru was very satisfied with Conan's performance. He snapped his fingers, and a piece of white paper appeared in his hand. He wrote something on it and handed it over, saying, "This is an IOU. Sign it!"

IOU

I, Conan Edogawa (Shinichi Kudo), accidentally rear-ended a Rolls-Royce while riding my skateboard. As of August 19th, I owe Hanyu Nan a total of 1.1 billion Japanese yen.

After negotiations, Conan Edogawa (Shinichi Kudo) promised to pay off the debt in full on April 6th, a week later.

Both parties agree that jurisdiction shall be exercised by the court in the place of residence of Hanyu Nan, and that all legal fees, litigation costs, arbitration fees, transportation expenses, appraisal fees, lost wages, and other losses incurred by Hanyu Nan in pursuing debt recovery shall be borne by Edogawa Conan (Kudo Shinichi). This agreement is hereby signed!

Debtor: — [Signature and fingerprint]

August 19]

Conan held the IOU, his hands trembling as he looked at the densely packed clauses on it.

He felt like he'd been set up by Yuzuru Hanyu; the IOU was already prepared.

"Stop spacing out, sign it quickly!" Ai handed over the pen, urging him impatiently.

Yuzuru handed over the inkpad as well, saying, "Don't forget you also need to put your handprint on it."

Conan, his face contorted with grief and indignation, shouted, "You guys are really going too far!"

You've prepared everything for me.

Xiao Ai said righteously, "Who told you to be so careless as to damage the car? This is the responsibility you should bear."

"Yeah, hurry up and sign it, don't waste time," Yu Shengnan urged with a teasing expression.

Conan bit his lip tightly. Although he was very unwilling, he still took the pen on a whim and wrote his name crookedly. Then, he reluctantly pressed his fingerprint on the inkpad.

"Alright, now you can't escape." Yuzuru took the IOU, smiled with satisfaction, and then handed it to Ai. "If Conan can't pay it back, make him pay with his body. Didn't you just happen to be running out of experimental materials recently?"

"Hmm, that makes sense!" Ai accepted the IOU while thoughtfully looking Conan up and down, as if assessing which of his organs were most valuable.

Their family isn't unreasonable. Since they can't pay back the money, there's nothing wrong with using their bodies to pay it off, right?

Conan stood there dejectedly, feeling uneasy under Ai's gaze. He secretly vowed to be extra careful in the future and never fall into such a "trap" again.
