“Huh? Where is everyone?”
Aki Tsukasa arrived at Dr. Agasa’s house.
Looking around, he realized that Conan was like a salted fish.
He was sprawled out on the couch.
His eyes were vacant, staring at the ceiling.
“Aki... you’re finally here...” Conan said weakly.
He hurriedly got up and took the dessert Aki Tsukasa brought.
“Tsk tsk tsk...” Aki Tsukasa couldn’t help but click his tongue as he saw Conan’s state.
“I say, Dr. Agasa, you wouldn’t have done anything strange to Conan, would you?
How come he looks like he’s been drained of energy?”
Dr. Agasa walked out of the kitchen, holding a pot that looked strangely colored.
“Cough cough, Aki, don’t slander me. Conan is probably just hungry.”
“Hmm hmm?” Aki Tsukasa looked at the pot in Dr. Agasa’s hand and asked in confusion, “Is that chemical material?”
“No, no, no, this is curry.” Dr. Agasa seemed very proud of his creation.
Aki Tsukasa couldn’t help but confirm it again, falling silent.
Conan has been eating this stuff for the past few days?
He understood Conan’s near-death experience just now.
Dr. Agasa called out to Conan.
“Come, come, Conan, try this, how does it taste? It will definitely satisfy you!”
Dr. Agasa also asked Aki Tsukasa, “Aki, would you like to try some too?”
“…” Conan looked over with dead fish eyes.
Aki Tsukasa smiled, grabbed Conan from the couch, and interrupted his dessert eating.
“Save the dessert for later. This curry is a heartfelt offering from the doctor, try it, Conan.
I just had dinner, so I’ll pass! Not hungry! No thanks!”
“Hey, cut it out!” Struggling in vain, Conan resigned himself to sitting at the dining table.
Looking at the strange-looking curry in front of him, he felt his future was shrouded in gloom.
Dr. Agasa’s curry this morning had already made him spend a long time on the toilet.
He quickly contacted Aki Tsukasa for support.
Seeing Dr. Agasa’s expectant gaze, Conan could only taste a mouthful in sorrow.
“Hmm? It’s actually... not bad.”
Conan, who had been hungry all morning, was as if he had been saved, and ate with gusto.
A few days ago, Dr. Agasa started researching various dishes.
Previously a single bachelor, he simply dealt with it haphazardly, mostly ordering takeout.
After being persuaded by Aki Tsukasa, he started to care about his health.
Fortunately, it was just like doing experiments. It was a matter of trying out different ingredient ratios.
Plus, there was Conan as a taste-tester.
After a few days, Conan finally found that today’s curry was actually normal food.
It was also because of these few days that Conan had become the way he is now.
Dr. Agasa smiled, stroking his beard, “It seems I have some talent in cooking after all.”
He then returned to the kitchen and brought himself a bowl.
Patting Conan on the shoulder, Aki Tsukasa asked.
“By the way, you’ve been living alone for the past three years.
Since Dr. Agasa’s food is awful, you would make your own food afterwards, right?”
“Hehehe…” Conan twitched the corner of his mouth.
“After the past few days of ‘taste testing’, I naturally prepared my own food.
Otherwise, relying on Dr. Agasa’s experimental dishes, I probably wouldn’t have died at the hands of that black-clothed man, but would have starved to death.
It’s just that the curry Dr. Agasa made this morning, I don’t know if it’s an Indian recipe, but it was too powerful.”
“Sigh.” Life is tough, the detective sighed, “It hurts, it hurts too much!”
Conan could only say “regret it!” about his actions at the Tropical Land the other day.
Hearing Conan’s lament, Aki Tsukasa wouldn’t believe this kid.
After self-reflection, he would still dare to make a fool of himself next time.
“It’s fine with the food, since it’s somewhat edible today.
The most important thing is, Dr. Agasa actually wants to send me to Teitan Elementary to go to elementary school!
And he’s already contacted them and arranged the enrollment date.”
If Dr. Agasa’s food was a physical torture.
Then, these days, being unable to solve cases, and now being about to become an elementary student, would be a mental torture for Conan.
After seeing Aki Tsukasa, his old friend, Conan began to vent.
Dr. Agasa had made him some special gadgets.
Like the bow tie voice changer.
The day after he shrunk, Conan called Detective Mouri Kogoro, using his own voice as Kudo Shinichi.
He wanted to inquire about any information on the black-clothed man.
However, while the police department might have information about the Black Organization and Gin.
But at present, Mouri Kogoro couldn’t access it.
Conan, of course, was doing a futile effort, and he was very disappointed after making the call.
This meant he had to find the black-clothed man who drugged him and caused him to shrink, by himself.
“Speaking of which, the other day when I was reading the newspaper.
I found out that the daughter of a company president with the surname Tani was kidnapped, and it was made a big fuss about by the media.
After contacting Detective Mouri by phone, I finally cracked the information.
After Detective Mouri led the police to find the location where the hostage was being held.
It turned out that the kidnapper was already dead! And the hostage was gone! It seemed she was kidnapped again.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t get into the scene, I couldn’t see the person being extorted.”
Conan was a little bit aggrieved, he couldn’t solve this series of kidnapping cases.
“It’s really annoying. I heard that the president originally called me.
But it happened to be the day I shrank, and with my ability, I might have been able to find the hostage that night!
Fortunately, I heard Detective Mouri say today that Tani Kiyoko was released today.”
For Conan, who loves solving cases, it was really frustrating.
In his current situation, even if he received a case.
He probably wouldn’t be able to enter the crime scene as a child.
Aki Tsukasa saw Conan was always dwelling on this case, and smiled silently.
This case was also influenced by him.
The kidnapper who was killed, initially planned to kill the hostage.
He later died at the hands of one of Aki Tsukasa’s devil servants.
That night, when he sent Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko home.
He found a soul emitting a strong aura of greed in a school warehouse.
Aki Tsukasa’s devil bloodline can be upgraded.
And the way to upgrade is to devour the seven deadly sins of desire within human souls.
Pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust.
He dispatched a devil servant to investigate the school warehouse.
He found that the source of that special soul was a kidnapper, who kidnapped a little girl named Tani Kiyoko.
This was the first case Conan was supposed to solve.
He didn’t know if this world was affected by Conan’s appearance.
In the previous roller coaster case, the soul of the yandere, Koto, also had the evil of wrath.
But it was insignificant.
However, this kidnapper’s greed was so abundant that Aki Tsukasa could sense it as he passed by.
The kidnapper, who was dreaming of becoming rich, was immediately taken down by the devil servant who approached silently.
He also knocked out the little girl, the hostage, without mercy.
After Aki Tsukasa devoured the evil of greed within the kidnapper’s soul.
He extracted his soul and refined another devil servant.
Aki Tsukasa, in the spirit of “since I’m here anyway”, decided to make some money.
He notified Habaki Haizō.
He asked the Habaki Financial Group to call several media outlets they often collaborated with to hype up the Tani company president’s daughter kidnapping case for a few days, to provide opportunities for the Habaki Financial Group to short sell.
Speaking of which, the company presidents involved in Conan’s plot.
Whether they were kidnapped, became murderers, or victims, there were quite a few.
In this way, the Habaki Financial Group controlled by Aki Tsukasa.
In the future, whether it’s short selling, long buying, or acquisition, they can follow Conan, the grim reaper, and enter the market precisely.
Perhaps, in the future, the Habaki Financial Group will even surpass the Suzuki Financial Group.
