Chapter 535 Cool Guy

"Hello, Miss Judy." Qianzhu smiled and extended her hand to shake hands with her.

After the introduction, Judy helped Ran Mouri to a seat in a virtual fighter jet, inserted coins, selected a character, and told her the game had started.

Ran Mouri, who didn't know how to play at first, was punched by a character in the game and even felt a tingling sensation on her cheek.

Ms. Judy, who was standing nearby, explained, "This is a virtual combat game machine where the attacker feels pain when they are hit."

Ran Mouri took a breath, gripped the game controller tightly, and unleashed a barrage of attacks, turning the burly man in the game's face blue.

Conan's expression changed as he stood next to him.

Wow, that's terrifying.

And then, this game console can even play online.

Qianzhu glanced back at the man sitting on the virtual combat game console behind them, who challenged Ran Mouri and defeated her.

This is the man who died today. He was so arrogant even under the halo of death. If he doesn't die, who will?

Qianzhu turned around dismissively and followed them.

After Ran Mouri left that spot, the man sat down in front of the arcade machine, which he considered his personal spot.

Although Sonoko Suzuki was unhappy about this, Ran Mouri didn't want to cause any more trouble.

The two looked at Judy and asked her if she wanted to leave now.

However, Judy didn't leave immediately because she wanted to play the racing game.

Therefore, that man still carried the aura of death.

The man and Shimizu Takaho began to compete against each other in the game.

Soon, amidst the murmurs of the onlookers, the man's opponent on the screen turned blue and collapsed to the ground, panting. As everyone wondered why he hadn't made his final move, a "draw" appeared on the screen.

Conan, sensing something was wrong, ran over and found him sitting motionless in a chair, already dead.

The police arrived quickly, and it was the familiar Inspector Megure and Inspector Takagi again.

Chizuru wasn't interested in cases that didn't concern him, so he stood aside as a good-looking background figure, watching Conan's obvious yet unnoticed crime-solving antics.

Ultimately, it was learned that the cause of death for the deceased, Oto, was pufferfish toxin, and the murderer was Shimizu Takaho, who had played a game against Oto.

Everyone's attention is focused on Sonoko, who is under Conan's spell and is 'conducting' her deductions, while Chizuru is secretly watching Jodie.

It was obvious that she had noticed Conan.

After glancing at Judy's acting skills, which far surpassed Conan's, Qianzhu silently withdrew her gaze and began to examine the other suspects and the murderer.

Judy also noticed Qianzhu's gaze, but his gaze was so normal that she assumed he was just looking at a suspect.

Intelligence-lowering buff activated! (Just kidding!)

The case is closed, the murderer repents, and the main characters retreat.

After leaving the game store, Judy chatted with Ran and the others for a few minutes before parting ways at an intersection.

Before turning around, she looked at Conan and said, "Bye bye cool guy."

When Conan and the others turned around in confusion, Jodie had already turned and left.

Qianzhu glanced at her, then at Conan, and a slight smile curved her lips.

If I'm not mistaken, Jodie has already learned some information about Vermouth, and she calls Conan that to test his relationship with Vermouth.
