Chapter 495 Detective Conan 61

Chapter 495: 495 Detective Conan 61

This wasn’t simply a prediction based on points.

I checked Sato Miwako’s condition with the [Naked Eye] ability, and then reached a conclusion based on the medical knowledge I know.

I thought that even if she went to the hospital, as long as it wasn’t a quack doctor, they would say something similar.

"But what do you mean by dangerous..."

Miwa also asked me carefully, as if she was worried.

"That’s hard for me to say since I’m not a doctor."

"I see... I should go to the hospital once this is over."

Juzo, who was listening next to us, also gave advice.

"You two, it seems you need to make up your minds quickly. From what I hear, it seems like the later you delay, the more you’ll suffer."

At those words, the two of them just blushed again and couldn’t give any answer.

We arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department in such a strange atmosphere.

"What can we do for you?"

"You just need to let me see the culprit for a moment."

"I see, I understand. I’ll take care of it right away."

The police quickly took measures so that we could meet in the interrogation room.

Since I had solved many cases, everyone cooperated without suspicion, so it was convenient.

"You bastard! @#%#^%&%*^%#%(severe swearing)!!!"

The culprit rampaged with handcuffs on as soon as he saw me.

He seemed quite resentful that he was caught because of me.

But the police officers who were with him immediately subdued him.

"Grab him!"

While the police were subduing him, I immediately grabbed his head and read his memory with the [Mind Penetration] ability.

Because there might be an unknown variable.

"Hmm... So you were trying to take revenge because your friend was killed by the police. What a funny person. Innocent people died and were injured because of the bombs you set off. Then shouldn’t you have been prepared that you could suffer the same thing? If you really didn’t want your friend to die, you shouldn’t have done such a thing in the first place."

"Damn it..."

At that time, Juzo asked me.

"Did you find out anything?"

"He installed one bomb under the police cars. But I only know it’s a white car, I don’t know whose car it is. From now on, people who drive white vehicles should not drive the vehicle and should look under the vehicle."

"How could... I see, I’ll look for it right away."

Juzo gave orders to the police and started to move urgently.

"How..."

The culprit was just as surprised.

"The vengeful spirits attached to you kindly told me."

"Such..."

"And there are two more bombs you installed, right? One you installed in the subway, but this one is fake, and one is in some kind of red steel tower... Ah, it’s Tokyo Tower!"

At those words, the police officers who remained in the interrogation room quickly radioed other police to inform them of this fact.

"I’m going to get my revenge on you!!!"

When everything was revealed, the culprit gritted his teeth and glared at me.

His plan, which he had meticulously set up over a long time, collapsed in an instant before his eyes, and he seemed unable to calm his emotions.

His tightly clenched fist was trembling so much that his anger toward me had reached its peak.

"Revenge... What an interesting thing to say. But you have no more chances. You’ll soon die lonely from illness in prison."

"What, what did you say?!"

"You’ve handled quite a lot of chemicals while making bombs, right? Without proper safety equipment, in a small room with poor ventilation. You’ve been working like that for so long, so your body can’t be fine. But it seems you had no idea how your body was being ruined."

In fact, he wasn’t destined to die of illness.

But since he mentioned revenge, I had no intention of just leaving him alone.

I used the [Naked Eye],, abilities to intentionally mutate the genes of the cells throughout his body, creating a state where cancer cells are extremely likely to occur.[Telekinesis][Control]

It was a technique I created after thinking about a way to make it look like a natural death without arousing suspicion from anyone, just in case something like this happened.

With this technique, it was possible to mutate cells from a distance without having to directly touch the body like [Idle Transfiguration].

Since I made it so that cancer cells occur simultaneously throughout the body, he probably won’t last long.

In a way, it could be said to be similar to being exposed to radiation.

But the mutation caused by my ability was not random, but much more natural and certain in the desired direction.

Even if a doctor finds an abnormality, there is no way to fundamentally stop it with modern medicine.

All they can do is just increase the survival period a little and reduce the pain the patient feels.

"Th, that can’t be..."

"Since you don’t have long to live, reflect on yourself. The place you go after you die won’t be as kind as this place."

The culprit bowed his head with a look of despair and I came out of the interrogation room after finishing my words.

Then Juzo hurriedly ran to where I was.

"Fortunately, we dismantled the bomb under the vehicle. And since you said a bomb was installed at Tokyo Tower, we urgently sent police to evacuate people and search."

"That’s a relief."

"But is the bomb that was said to be installed in the subway really fake?"

"Yes, it is definitely fake, but it might still be dangerous, so you should check the Toto Line trains."

"I see, I’ll do that. I’m really glad you’re here."

"Then, I’ll go back to school."

When I said that and tried to leave, Juzo grabbed my shoulder and said.

"Where are you going now? There’s still places left to find. Come with me to Tokyo Tower right now. The police will take good care of taking you back. And I already told the school."

"What? I already told you it’s Tokyo Tower."

"You only said Tokyo Tower, you didn’t say exactly where the bomb is. So please help me. I’ll make sure to take care of the divination fee and the meal cost generously."

These incompetent police officers pushed the work onto me again.

’Man... Where is there to hide in Tokyo Tower, if you just look a little you’ll find it.’

This time, a police officer from the Traffic Enforcement Division, ’Miyamoto Yumi’ gave me a ride.

It seemed that all other police had already been dispatched to the scene and there were no available vehicles.

Yumi was old but a beauty with long straight hair, and when she saw me getting in, she glanced at me.

"Why, what’s wrong?"

"Ah, no. Mr. Jin is so famous and his fortune telling is said to be incredibly accurate..."

"Is there something you’re curious about?"

"May I ask?"

"If you just give me the divination fee, I’ll answer."

"I’ll give it to you. So please take a look. I’m embarrassed to say this, but I’m 28 years old and I definitely want to get married before I turn 30. But I still don’t have a man..."

"Hmm... I think I need to see both for the marriage issue to be accurate. But if you just wait, I think you’ll naturally meet and get married. The other person seems handsome and smart, but has a tiring personality because he acts like a child. Oh, judging by the continued connection, it seems you’ve already met him?"

"What, what did you say???"

At those words, Yumi was so shocked that she almost had another accident because she couldn’t drive properly like Wataru.

There seems to be someone who comes to mind for sure.

"My goodness, move aside, I’ll drive."

"So, sorry..."

This time too, Juzo took the wheel and Yumi sat in the back seat.

"Um... Is there any other information?"

"He’s wearing glasses. And seeing white and black stones, it seems like a person related to Go, but I don’t know more than that."

"I see..."

Yumi made a face like she was doomed and stroked her face.

"Looks like you know someone?"

"Yes... Of all people, that person... We dated in college and broke up. As you said, his personality was childish..."

"There’s no perfect person in the world. If you cover each other’s weaknesses and live together, you’ll live well without any big problems. That’s what lovers and married couples are."

When the story was over, I held out my hand to Yumi.

"Ah, the divination fee... Just a moment..."

Yumi, having some conscience, gave me as much as 30,000 yen.

Then Juzo grumbled and said.

"From now on, fortune telling while driving is prohibited!"

He seemed to be saying that because we almost had an accident again and again.

"Still, I gave you a cheap price. Originally, to see my fortune telling, you have to pay hundreds of thousands."

"Is, is that so?"

"Besides, it’s not something you can easily see even if you have money. Reservations are always fully booked, and urgent people have to pay extra to barely see me."

"I, I see..."

In a word, I was saying that I’m expensive, so don’t bother me.

I don’t know if he understood.

Anyway, we arrived at Tokyo Tower and got out of the car.

The front of Tokyo Tower was already controlled by the police, and around it, curious people were gathered as if something had happened.

"We evacuated all the people and started looking for the bomb, but there is still no news that it has been found."

"I see. Jin, this time too, well... Huh, where did he go?"

While Juzo was receiving a report, I was getting autographs from fans and buying ice cream with Yumi.

"What are you doing right now?!"

"I thought it would take a long time. Anyway, you want me to find the bomb, right?"

"That’s right. Please do me a favor."

At those words, I went into the lobby of Tokyo Tower and started to draw a large Onmyoji formation.

And then I pretended to chant a spell and said.

"Good grief... The energy of iron is so strong that it’s hard to use Onmyoji magic. I think I need to use stronger Onmyoji magic, do you have any incense?"

"Isn’t it basic for an Onmyoji to bring such things?"

"Who do you think made me come straight from school, so there’s no way I have it."

At those words, Juzo scratched his head awkwardly.

"Ahahaha... I, I see... You heard that, go quickly and buy incense!"

"Yes!"

After waiting a while, Wataru hurriedly bought incense.

I lit incense in the center of the Onmyoji formation and sat down and started chanting again.

Then the smoke rising from the incense began to gather in one place, slowly creating the shape of a person.

The police officers who were watching the sight held their breath as if they couldn’t believe it.

No one could readily open their mouth, just staring at the bizarre sight unfolding before their eyes.

The smoke rising from the incense at some point strangely began to gather in one place.

As if being led by something invisible, it slowly rotated and created the form of a person.

At first, it was just a faint silhouette.

But as the smoke continued to gather, shoulders, arms, and torso revealed themselves one by one, and even the blurry face began to become clear slowly.

"...What is that..."

Someone muttered in a trembling voice.

And finally, the moment the face was completely revealed.

"...!"

Miwa opened her eyes wide.

The moment she recognized the person who appeared before her eyes, surprise and disbelief were mixed on her face.

"Matsuda...?"

A trembling voice leaked out.

"Matsuda... Matsuda..."

Eventually, tears that she couldn’t hold back flowed down her two cheeks.

But it wasn’t just Miwa.

The police officers around also began to bow their heads one by one or wipe away tears.

What they were seeing was not just a form of smoke.

It was their colleague who had already left this world, Matsuda Jinpei.

Matsuda Jinpei was a detective who was close to Miwa before Wataru came to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

But he lost his life after being caught up in the bomb terror caused by the criminal who was caught this time 3 years ago.

And what appeared before our eyes now was the vengeful spirit of Matsuda who died at that time.

I found his vengeful spirit attached to the criminal and summoned him here using.[Necromancy]

For a while, Matsuda looked around at the police officers looking at him without saying anything.

Then he smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth.

And slowly raised one arm.

Where his fingertip was pointing was above the elevator.

Matsuda kept pointing there and looked at the police officers for a while.

And finally waved his hand.

It was like a short farewell, as if he really had to leave now.

"Matsuda...!"

Miwa called his name again.

But Matsuda did not answer.

He was just smiling faintly.

Soon the smoke that made up his body began to scatter slowly.

The change that started from the fingertips spread through the arms and shoulders to the whole body.

"Wait...!"

Miwa reached out her hand, but it was already too late.

Matsuda’s appearance slowly melted into the smoke and disappeared, and even the face that had remained until the end scattered without a trace.

What remained in its place was only the faint smoke rising from the incense.

"Phew..."

I let out a small breath.

"Did you see? It’s quite hard after using high-level Onmyoji magic. But... Why is everyone crying?"

When I asked as if I was puzzled, Juzo wiped the corner of his eye and tried to make a nonchalant expression.

"Ah, no..."

And immediately ordered the police officers.

"You all saw where Matsuda pointed, right? Check it quickly!"

"Yes!"

The police immediately boarded the elevator, opened the ceiling, and checked the place Matsuda pointed.

Then they were able to find the bomb hidden there.

Fortunately, the bomb was dismantled safely, and so we were able to overcome another crisis.

But Miwa couldn’t easily calm her mind.

Even after coming outside Tokyo Tower, she couldn’t stop crying for a long time, and Wataru was quietly comforting her by her side.

I approached her and opened my mouth.

"Ah, and there was a message that the soul I summoned with necromancy wanted to convey at the end. ’Don’t keep clinging to someone who died stupidly, take good care of your new relationship from now on.’"

The moment she heard those words, Miwa finally burst into tears, bursting with emotions she had been holding back.

"You’re the stupid one...! How can you shake someone’s heart like that and leave...! Waaaaang!"

Seeing Miwa crying so sadly made me wonder if I should have told her.

But perhaps for her, the meeting just now and those words became the last goodbye to Matsuda that had remained in her heart for 3 years.

When the situation was settled, we moved to the Metropolitan Police Department with the police.

And then after organizing this and that, even though no one told them to, they bought one chrysanthemum flower each and took turns going somewhere.

I guess they went to visit Matsuda Jinpei’s grave.

"But when are you going to send me back to school?"

"Ah, I forgot to give you a ride. I’m so out of my mind. Thank you so much for today. I owe you a big debt."

"No."

"And this is your trouble fee. We collected a little bit among ourselves."

Juzo said that and handed me an envelope.

When I opened it, it contained as much as 200,000 yen.

Probably because I talked about the money I earn at once, they all collected money little by little to match that amount.

I said it in the sense of telling them not to bother me with things like this in the future, but I didn’t know they would really collect money and take care of it.

It was a bit uncomfortable to take all the money they gave me after they went this far.

So I took only 10,000 yen from the envelope and returned the rest.

"I can’t not take it at all, so this much is enough. I need to hold a memorial service for the spirits I helped today. And you all don’t seem to be in a good mood either, so have a company dinner with the remaining money."

"Really?"

"Yes. Anyway, you have to give me a ride quickly. By now, school must be over, so my girlfriend might be waiting at school."

"I see, I’ll give you a ride right away."
