Chapter 8: Pisco's blessing is on the way

The Black-Clad Person vanished, just as suddenly as he had appeared, he disappeared.

The Death God Elementary School Student looked at the closed door of Dr. Agasa's Laboratory, only feeling that the mysteries in his heart were growing. Although he had a real conversation with the Black-Clad Person, he didn't even know the other party's name.

This Black-Clad Person was like a specially trained assassin...

The only things Conan could deduce from the other party were his approximate age, voice, height, approximate weight, the characteristics of his pistol, and some other useless information...

It was regrettable that it would be difficult to find the Black-Clad Person's true identity with this information.

But what concerned him more was Renya Karasuma, mentioned by the Black-Clad Person when he spoke to Ai Haibara before leaving.

"Ai Haibara, I want to know who Renya Karasuma, whom he mentioned before leaving, is?"

"He should be an elder of the Black Organization, just like Kenzou Masuyama, whose real name you mentioned earlier, and whose code name was Pisco, right? Why did you seem calm when you mentioned Kenzou Masuyama, but were speechless when Renya Karasuma was brought up?"

Conan pushed up his plain glasses.

He usually wouldn't grill his teammates, at least he would save them some face.

But it was obvious that, in the Death God Elementary School Student's eyes, Ai Haibara did not belong to the category of teammates. Rather, her prank was too malicious; if that Black-Clad Person had a worse temper, he might have died because of it.

Furthermore, the APTX4869 she researched was a deadly poison, and he was the one who took it...

In Conan's view, Ai Haibara was almost synonymous with Black Organization members and heinous murderers.

"Renya Karasuma should also be a member of the Black Organization, and his status is quite high. You know something about him."

"However, his status should be even higher than Pisco, whom the Black-Clad Person just mentioned, because you didn't show any unusual reaction when you mentioned that so-called organization elder, but you instinctively trembled when Renya Karasuma was mentioned."

"In other words, Renya Karasuma's identity should be the Black Organization's number one or number two leader?"

The Death God Elementary School Student reasoned to himself.

His gaze fell on Ai Haibara, judging whether his reasoning was correct by the subtle changes in her body.

This was a very simple psychological technique that police, Detectives, and Senior Lawyers could all more or less master; he learned it during special training in Hawaii.

Conan organized his thoughts, then continued.

"No matter what Renya Karasuma's code name is, whether he is the organization's number one or number two leader."

"From your reaction, Renya Karasuma is not only of high status but also very powerful, even stronger than Pisco, so strong that if his name is mentioned... I hope his code name isn't Voldemort."

"He is so strong that when you mention his name, you feel afraid, and when the Black-Clad Person said he was going to find Renya Karasuma, your first reaction was that this investigation would implicate everyone here..."

"So, we can draw a conclusion."

The Death God Elementary School Student pushed up his plain glasses and said.

"Renya Karasuma is the Black Organization's number one or number two leader, with immense power, far surpassing Kenzou Masuyama, a well-known entrepreneur in Tokyo, and possesses some kind of anti-detective ability, able to quickly find those who investigate him."

"At the same time, he is extremely ruthless, most likely directly killing those who investigate him, and then eliminating all suspicious targets related to the investigators... Is he your developer's financier?"

"Enough, don't say another word!"

Ai Haibara suddenly stood up, her face clouded with gloom.

She hadn't said anything, yet that Black-Clad Person claimed that the news about that adult being in Tottori Prefecture came from her. If they were to investigate Renya Karasuma in Tottori Prefecture then...

Then, that adult would very likely deal with that Black-Clad Person, then follow the clues back here and kill everyone in the laboratory!

She turned to look at the naive Detective Kudo Shinichi and said loudly.

"You simply don't understand how immense that adult's power is!"

"Anyone who dares to go to Tottori Prefecture to investigate that adult will be killed, and even the relatives, friends, and suspicious targets related to the investigators will be eliminated!"

"Your childish Detective games should be over! And I, too, must leave now!"

"Goodbye, hateful Kudo Shinichi!"

...What do you mean, childish Detective games should be over?

Conan narrowed his eyes.

You Black Organization people really like to say that.

First Gin, now Ai Haibara...

"Anyway, you just want to find an opportunity to escape back to your investor, don't you?"

"Then go ahead, I will find out everyone in your Black Organization sooner or later, including the true identity of Renya Karasuma in Tottori Prefecture!"

The Death God Elementary School Student deliberately emphasized the words Renya Karasuma.

Immediately, the two people who had taken ATPX-4869 and turned into elementary school students argued like real elementary school students in Dr. A Li's Laboratory, giving Dr. A Li a headache.

He could only sigh, hoping that these two smart children could resolve their emotional knots themselves...

Or, should he invite that Half-man, Half-ghost Mister back to mediate?

——————

Nara Hikaru, after leaving Dr. Agasa's Laboratory, took out his phone and made a call.

He knew that even though it was late at night, his friend would not be sleeping.

The reason was simple: his friend was a lawyer, a well-known lawyer in the industry.

"I hope I haven't disturbed your work or rest."

Nara Hikaru said.

On the other end of the phone, the lawyer named Sakamoto Masayoshi flipped through the case files in his hand and replied.

(Sakamoto Masayoshi, culprit in TV26 "The Murder of My Beloved Dog John.")

"Of course not, Mr. Nara. It seems you've encountered some trouble. Is there anything I can help you with?"

He was about to go head-to-head with the industry-renowned Senior Lawyer Eri Kisaki.

Time was tight, but if Nara Hikaru, who had helped him, needed assistance...

Then, this harmless civil lawsuit seemed less important.

"...I see, Kenzou Masuyama, right? I'll send the information to your phone in about ten minutes."

Sakamoto Masayoshi stood up and searched among the many case files on the bookshelf.

Then, as if remembering something, he asked.

"Mr. Nara, do we need to contact Asai Narumi in advance this time?"

(Asai Narumi, culprit in TV11-12 "Moonlight Sonata Murder Case.")

"No, not this time. The opponent hasn't reached that tricky level yet. It will be over quickly..."

Nara Hikaru said.

He walked across the train tracks, and as the train passed, his figure also disappeared.

Only a faint echo remained.

"Tonight, I will make him see his own brains."
