After quickly understanding the situation, the police escorted Ryoichi Takahashi toward the helicopter.
However, at that moment, something unexpected happened.
As Takahashi Ryoichi was being escorted across the cliff, it was as if an invisible force struck his chest, causing him to suddenly be lifted into the air and plummet straight down the cliff.
Inspector Megure, who witnessed this, was initially stunned, then immediately shouted, "I want to see him alive or dead!"
At his shout, the officers immediately launched an emergency search.
"Who is it? Who is it?" Conan's face turned pale instantly when he saw this familiar scene, and his eyes were filled with panic.
He frantically scanned everyone around him, trying to find the mastermind behind it all.
After carefully analyzing all the people at the scene, Conan's gaze finally settled on Hanyu Nanasu, who was laughing and joking with Ran and Sonoko.
"Could it really be Yuzuru?" Conan frowned, pondering to himself. "In both of these incidents, he always seemed to be at the crime scene, and he always seemed to be intentionally trying to get close to Ran..."
Conan stared intently at Yuzuru, as if trying to see through his smile to his true thoughts.
Yuzuru was seen laughing heartily, seemingly discussing something interesting with Ran and Sonoko. However, in Conan's eyes, this smile was full of unfathomable meaning.
While pondering Hanyu Nan's true identity, Conan recalled the information he had learned from Suzuki Ayako and the others that morning regarding the high-tech protective shield that Hanyu Nan had shown the previous night.
"That weapon has tremendous impact, yet it's completely silent. It's something that ordinary people and organizations could never possess," Conan thought to himself, his suspicions about Yuzuru deepening.
"Yuzuki, who exactly are you? What is your purpose in getting close to Ran?!"
Just as Conan was deep in thought, a terrible thought suddenly surged into his mind, and his face turned pale instantly. He almost couldn't help but rush over to find Yuzuru.
"Could it be the Black Organization? Have they already discovered my true identity?!"
The thought exploded in Conan's mind like a thunderbolt, causing his heart to race and cold sweat to break out on his forehead.
...
Yuzuru slowly withdrew his raised hand, completely ignoring Conan's suspicious gaze.
As he acquired more and more props, Yuzuru's mindset changed, and he gradually became somewhat reckless.
After all, it's when you discover you're Superman.
Day 1: Superman
Day 2: "Happy Superman"
Day 3: "Even when you're unhappy, you have to be a superhero."
Besides, everything needs evidence. What can you, Conan, find out about me? Would anyone believe you if I told them?
You're all great detectives! Keep it up!
As he thought about it, Yuzuru couldn't help but laugh. It was indeed a bit like bullying an elementary school student.
...
"Really? Nan, do such a prop really exist? I want it! I want this!"
When Sonoko heard Yuzuru say that he had a kind of bread that could permanently memorize the contents of a book by simply eating it after it was printed on it, her eyes lit up. For a poor student like her, this was exactly the kind of magical tool she needed.
"Hiss..." Feeling the softness on his arm, Yu Sheng Nan nodded, indicating that he could eat as much as he wanted, but the taste wasn't particularly good and he might throw up.
However, Sonoko, who was already fantasizing about surpassing Yuzuru Nanami in the exam and beating Ran Mouri, wasn't thinking about all that.
"Xiao Lan, come along too," Yu Sheng Nan invited Xiao Lan, who was smiling and watching the two of them.
Although a little shy, Ran couldn't refuse Yuzuru's invitation and nodded.
After all, I have to experience this amazing tool myself, since it's all for the sake of learning!
Although I am not as bad at studying as Sonoko, I am still far behind those geniuses.
Since such a permanent cheat tool exists, it's okay if the taste is a little off.
Yuzuru had considered that if there were any shrinking gadgets in the future, he could shrink the bread and eat it directly, so he wouldn't overeat.
However, photocopying books might waste some time, but that's a story for another time.
...
"Conan, let's go!"
When Ran shouted those words, Conan was lost in his doubts about life. However, Ran didn't pay much attention to Conan's state and instead followed Hanyu Nan onto the helicopter to return home.
"Xiao Lan..."
Conan noticed that Ran was somewhat cold towards him, and a bitter feeling welled up inside him. He could only follow her dejectedly.
"Conan, did your brother do something wrong?"
As soon as he boarded the helicopter, Conan stared intently at Yuzuru Hanyu, trying to discern something from him.
Yuzuru naturally understood Conan's little scheme, but after all, he was his trump card.
He vigorously ruffled Conan's hair and said in a teasing tone:
"Oh dear, Conan, don't do that! It'll make your brother sad!"
"Bang!"
Before she could finish speaking, a muffled thud was heard, and Sonoko raised her hand and flicked Conan on the forehead.
"You brat, how dare you talk to Nan like that?" Sonoko glared angrily at Conan.
"Ouch! Did I say anything? Sonoko, that lovesick fool!" Conan thought to himself, rubbing his head where he had been hit.
Noticing that Xiaolan was also looking at him with reproach, he immediately felt extremely wronged, and tears almost welled up in his eyes.
"Alright, alright, he's still just a child."
