In the world of Detective Conan, however, he was bound to the Naruto System.

Chapter 86 The employer was killed by the hired assassin.

Chapter 86 The employer was killed by the hired assassin.

Akutagawa Hiko asked for a pencil and started scribbling on the Bible, making the previously barely noticeable marks instantly clear.

"This seems to be an address that corresponds to the restaurant where The Last Supper was held. We could go check it out."

Next, Akutagawa speculated, "Many hotels with a Western-style design place a Bible on the bedside table, and it's possible that this young lady used it as a temporary notebook."

To give the assassin enough room and opportunity to move around, Akutagawa Hiko suggested, "I'll go check this hotel, and you guys go ask around the surrounding hotels if anyone has seen this lady."

Both locations were deduced by Hiko Akutagawa, but Kogoro Mouri preferred the more specific location of "The Last Supper."

They didn't dare say more.

However, Conan chose to join Akutagawa Hiko's team directly. Although he might not have the experience of solving cases, he would definitely find clues more easily.

"Sister Xiaolan, I want to go with Brother Ayan!"

Kogoro Mouri glanced at Conan: "Tch, that troublesome brat is good because he won't get in our way. Ran, let's go."

Conan couldn't help but complain in his heart that Conan looked like he had gotten rid of a burden. He was the one who solved all those cases, and now that he had become a little famous, Conan was actually looking down on him.

After the two left with the assassin girl, whose memories showed clear signs of recovery, Akutagawa Kawahiko also stood up.

No longer needing to pretend to be a child, Conan relaxed considerably: "Did you discover something?"

Although the clues pointed to two places, it wouldn't hurt to investigate them one by one. Given Akutagawa Hiko's usual preference for group actions, it was clearly strange that he had taken the initiative to split up.

Akutagawa nodded, not hiding anything: "The other things are fine, but that steel wire is a bit bothering me—"

Conan was a little confused: "A wire?"

"Yes, the Last Supper is almost here. Let's look for clues first, and then we'll talk about it later."

Looking at the restaurant with the "Closed for Business" sign, Akutagawa Hiko bent down and patted Conan on the head, offering encouragement with his eyes.

Conan rolled his eyes, resignedly pushed open the unlocked wooden door, and went inside.

In order to catch the child who suddenly barged into the restaurant, the righteous detective had no choice but to follow him inside.

The hotel was dark, as it was dusk and the lighting wasn't great. However, this didn't affect Akutagawa Hikaru's ability to see in the dark, regardless of his eyesight.

This is not a dark magic technique that completely strips away light.

Akutagawa Kawahiko quickly noticed the painting on the wall, and then, following his memory, he put the puzzle piece in his hand, and then heard a click.

The two walked to the drawer that had suddenly popped open, took out a stack of documents, and had a photo of Kogoro Mouri attached to them.

Akutagawa Hiko frowned as he looked at the very detailed information, which even mentioned that Kogoro Mouri had not demonstrated his superb judo skills for nearly ten years.

"I knew it, that woman is an assassin."

Because the information was in Akutagawa Kawahiko's hands, Conan was jumping up and down anxiously. Upon hearing this, he quickly said, "Then aren't Ran and Uncle Mori in big danger?!"

Akutagawa tapped Conan on the head to mute him: "Calm down. That assassin doesn't have any firearms. As long as Uncle Mori and Ran are together, she won't have a chance to strike."

After calling the police and explaining the situation, Akutagawa Hiko called Ran again: "What?! She's gone?!"

Conan's eyes widened, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints: "How could this be?!"

Ran, unaware that the person they rescued was an assassin sent to kill Kogoro Mouri, said, "That's right, after leaving the Beika Hotel, Ms. Maya Tachibana suddenly disappeared."

The group agreed to meet at the Metropolitan Police Department and then hung up the phone.

Conan anxiously took off the skateboard he had been carrying all the way. After Dr. Agasa modified it and added an energy storage function, it was no longer limited to daytime use: "We must meet up quickly. That killer must have remembered something and is probably planning to kill Uncle Mori."

Then, Conan, completely bewildered, was lifted up by Akutagawa Hiko.

Akutagawa Hiko had been wanting to try this amazing skateboard for a long time. He adjusted his posture, lowered his body to reduce wind resistance, and shot off in a flash.

Conan was about to speak when he was suddenly blasted with a mouthful of cold air, and could only obediently shrink into Akutagawa Kawahiko's arms as a weightless accessory.

The two sides met up and exchanged information.

It's no wonder she's a girl blessed by Lady Luck. Although she often encounters various murder cases, it's probably because of Conan, that jinx. She only needed to search two hotels to find the killer's hideout.

As far as I can remember, when Conan was there, he searched through twelve possible hotels before finally finding this Beika Hotel.

Conan was completely unaware that Akutagawa Hiko was secretly speaking ill of him, and quickly asked Tachibana Maya if she had done anything unusual before disappearing.

Akutagawa, feigning ignorance, asked, "Someone actually hired an assassin to deal with you, Uncle Mori? Have you offended someone?"

Ran Mouri waved her small but powerful fist indignantly and said angrily, "It must be that guy Yuda. He was unhappy that Dad sent him to prison, and now he's escaped. Conan and I went out with him to protect Dad."

"I never imagined he could be so despicable, even hiring an assassin to deal with Dad!"

Just as Ran Mouri was explaining Yuda's despicable act of killing for insurance money, Wataru Takagi brought over some documents: "These are the recent cases where the murderer has not been found. They were all strangled by something thin."

Kogoro Mouri stared in disbelief: "There are so many! This assassin is incredibly arrogant!"

A quick glance at the records shows that at least a dozen people have died using this method.

Inspector Megure came over and patted Kogoro Mouri on the shoulder, who had recently gained some fame: "Brother Mouri, since you're the target, you'll stay in the Metropolitan Police Department until we catch this arrogant killer."

Kogoro Mouri didn't have any objections. Knowing that someone wanted him dead, why would he wander around outside? He wasn't Conan.

Since none of them had eaten, Inspector Megure arranged for someone to deliver several boxed meals to them, and Akutagawa Hiko finally got to taste the Metropolitan Police Department's special pork cutlet rice, which he had been very curious about before.

Not long after they finished eating, the police officers who were tracking the female assassin brought them a piece of news that left everyone speechless.

Ikeda died in an abandoned construction site, and his death was exactly the same as the one the female assassin had killed in the past: his neck was severed by a thin steel wire.
