Detective Conan: Beika Town's Complete Transformation into Los Santos

Page 38

Lin Che could tell from the little girl's expression that she was lying, but he didn't want to expose her, since it was her private matter and he was just curious.

"Did you listen to that recording?"

This time, Ai Haibara's expression was much more normal. Although her expression was somewhat gloomy, there was a faint smile on her lips, and she looked somewhat... relieved.

"Yes, she wants me to live well, even without her."

As the two were chatting, Kogoro Mouri suddenly waved to Lin Che, beckoning him to catch up with the group.

He has already taken care of the three little ones.

He had originally planned to have Conan stay outside obediently, but Ran Mouri offered a few words of advice, saying something like, "Conan's sometimes ingenious ideas might be helpful to us."

Although Kogoro Mouri was very reluctant to admit it, he had done nothing but provide flawed ideas during this advisory trip, so he could only silently agree.

The children stayed outside, and Dr. Agasa took care of them.

Although the castle looks quite dilapidated from the outside, the interior is very well preserved, with the floors so clean that there isn't a speck of dust.

Led by the old butler of the Kousaka Natsumi family, the group visited each room of the castle in turn, but they still couldn't find the Egg of Memories.

At crucial moments, we naturally have to wait for Conan to step up.

Mr. Ke quickly found the secret passage leading underground.

Seeing everyone gathered around the mechanism, Lin Che, standing apart from the crowd, quietly took out a two-color mixed bomb and installed it near the door.

With the detonation device provided by Lissell, all he had to do was "pour out the bomb" and "place it."

We absolutely must plant a bomb here. If we fail to capture Scobin underground later, this bomb can be used to block his escape route.

The remotely controlled device was so powerful that Lin Che could even detonate it precisely, killing Scobin instantly.

Before long, the group brainstormed and opened the entrance to the secret passage.

The dusty, grimy smell was pungent, with a hint of rotting wood, and a chill ran through the mouth, giving everyone present goosebumps.

"I'll go first; I brought a flashlight."

At this moment, Shiratori Ninzaburo, who had come along as a police representative, took the initiative to speak.

However, Lin Che knew that he was actually Kaito Kid in disguise.

To be honest, I really want to learn the other party's disguise and voice-changing techniques.

These two skills are not currently visible in the skill tree, but they are in the Shadow Unmask skill; removing Vermouth's mask grants the Disguise skill.

But it seems there's still a long way to go before Vermouth appears, and even if I know who's who, it won't work; I'll have to find real clues in this world before I can reveal her identity.

Comparing the two, Lin Che felt that unlocking the disguise technique through Phantom Thief Kid might be more promising, while Vermouth could be used as a backup.

It wouldn't be difficult for Lin Che to communicate with Kaito Kid; he could just treat him like he would Conan.

Lost in thought, Lin Che followed the others into the pitch-black tunnel, bringing up the rear.

In such an environment, chatting with each other is necessary to ease the tension.

Lin Che was surprised that Scowbin would choose to talk to him.

"It's a real pity that Mr. Qian didn't come. There are many things here that are of great artistic value. Even just looking at them would be wonderful."

Pu Siqinglan looked noticeably more capable after changing out of her cheongsam.

She didn't stand very close to Lin Che, but maintained a distance where they could barely see each other's outlines.

However, this is purely her own over-drama.

With his detective instincts, Lin Che could even see the fine hairs on her arms.

Additionally, Scowbin also has a buff similar to "innate luck," but it's far inferior to Gin's buff.

There are only two buffs that increase agility and shooting accuracy.

Lin Che replied indifferently, "You shouldn't try to strike up a conversation in this environment. We can talk again outside."

To...pick up a girl?

Scobin was clearly taken aback, then bit his lip.

If you want me to hit on you, you'd better be a highly talented criminal genius!

I'm being lenient by not shooting you dead, and you even tried to chat me up...

Scobin was cursing in his heart, but he had to maintain a polite demeanor.

She chuckled softly.

"Mr. Lin is really interesting. I just feel a bit cold and scared here, and I want to find someone to talk to."

"But once we get out, we can definitely find a coffee shop to sit down and chat."

chat?

Are you able to go out today?

Scobin suddenly stopped and squatted down. "This is really annoying. It feels like there are pebbles in my shoes."

Lin Che found it amusing; this woman was really going to great lengths to find a way to escape. "Should I wait for you?"

"No need, Mr. Lin, you go first. I'll be done soon. There's light ahead, I can catch up with you."

"Okay then."

Lin Che took a step forward and quickly left Scobin behind.

After he had walked a distance, Scobin finally breathed a sigh of relief, took out his pistol from his bag, and installed the silencer.

The gun and silencer are a bit too long; they can barely fit in a bag, but it's easy for others to notice the problem.

If you pack it up and hide it in your clothes, along with the surrounding environment, it should be well concealed.

However......

"Miss Qinglan, what are you planning to do with that gun?"

Lin Che returned, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Almost instantly, Scowbin instinctively raised his gun and fired!

Lin Che naturally turned back with some preparation.

Anticipating the bullets, I dodged them, but they missed their mark.

"whispering sound!"

Scobin gritted his teeth and immediately turned and ran away.

Dead hand!

Why did you react so quickly!

Now, I have no choice but to kill everyone first, and then solve any remaining mechanisms to find the Egg of Memories.

The commotion she made while fleeing was considerable; even with a silencer, the sound of bullets firing in that environment was still loud enough.

The person in front immediately realized the question:

"What happened?!"

Lin Che activated his "Detective Instinct" again to pinpoint Scobin's location.

“Pu Siqinglan is Scroobin, I’m going to pursue her.”

Chapter 46 Fight

Is Pu Siqinglan the same person as Scotty?

Almost everyone except Conan was stunned.

This information sounds completely false.

How could the beautiful, gentle, and delicate Miss Qinglan possibly be the vicious criminal Scobin!

But no matter what, we have to go and see what's going on.

Conan is the fastest; he's already far ahead before anyone else can even react.

"Conan!" Ran Mouri exclaimed anxiously.

Kogoro Mouri finally found his place. "You guys stay here, I'll go check it out."

Kaito Kuroba, now disguised as a policeman, couldn't just stand by and do nothing. "Mr. Mori, let's go together."

Moreover, even in his own eyes, Scowbin was a rather dangerous person, and he was very worried about Conan.

In the blink of an eye, only four people remained on the spot.

Ran Mouri also wanted to go and see, but Natsumi Kosaka was still there, the old butler was getting old, and although the Russian secretary was strong, he couldn't handle things alone.

She has to be wary of Scobin coming to attack this place, after all, Natsumi Kosaka is the key to finding the Egg of Memories, and according to Conan last night, Scobin came to steal the Egg of Memories.

"Miss Xia Mei, just stand next to me and don't move!"

"Ah...yes, thank you, Xiaolan!"

the other side.

Lin Che had an absolute advantage in the pursuit because his field of vision was unrestricted and he could lock onto people through walls.

The underground passage is not actually a one-way street; there is a fork in the road.

No one knows what kind of magical creature Scobin is, but in such an extremely dark environment, she can move quickly and weave back and forth.

"Beep—beep—!"

suddenly.

Lin Che saw Scobin take something out and stick it to the rock wall; the red light and the dripping sound clearly indicated that it was a bomb.

"The space is small and the blast radius is large. In order to avoid being affected, there should be at least five seconds to wait for the explosion to occur."

Lin Che quickly made a judgment, then suddenly accelerated and continued to pursue!

At this point, the boost from combat proficiency becomes very helpful.

He used the skill points he hadn't used up by level 7 to upgrade his Fighting Mastery, which increases all attributes by 20% at level 2.

Lin Che checked the level 1 buff effect; it was 30%.

However, the required skill points have increased to 2.

This means that the initial investment is small but the return is high, while the later improvements are relatively less cost-effective.

Therefore, leveling up to level 3 or 4 is sufficient for now. Skill points are still very useful and shouldn't be used to stack low-yield attributes. Wait until you have an excess of skill points before considering it.

The enhancement of all attributes means that explosive power and speed are also improved.

Scowbin felt he could catch his breath after planting the bomb, so he stopped after running out of the blast radius.

"Damn it, first block the road and trap them, then slowly create a terrifying atmosphere of death for them."

"Chasing you so closely... I'm definitely going to use your right eye to commemorate this later..."

As he spoke, Scowbin glanced behind him.

As she looked over, she was shocked to find that Lin Che had already rushed towards her through the bomb.

"Biu——!"

Without a second thought, Scobin raised his gun and fired!

However, she did not shoot Lin Che, but instead fired the bomb.

She had already witnessed Lin Che's efficiency remaining undiminished even after being shot. The bomb was set with a timer, and now the only way to detonate it in advance was to shoot it.

Then.

"I don't believe that bombs can't do anything to you!"

A violent explosion and a burst of flames erupted simultaneously.

The rocks shook, and the already small underground passage was completely blocked by the collapsed rocks.

The sound waves and air currents are further compressed and released in the confined space.

This enormous impact also helped to accelerate Lin Che's forward speed.
