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

Chapter 15: Dare to run? Blow him up with explosive tags!

Akutagawa then pointed out other anomalies: "You see, the deceased had a habit of taking off his sunglasses and hat the two days before when he was eating and having fun, but on Wednesday he was covered up completely."

"Especially when eating noodles, wearing glasses is incredibly painful. The condensation completely blocks your vision, yet this gentleman insisted on wearing sunglasses. It's really suspicious."

Everyone present turned to look at Conan, who was searching for differences in the photos. He was the only one wearing glasses here, a poor kid who was nearsighted at such a young age.

Conan was secretly competing with Akutagawa Hikaru, trying to find more flaws than him, but unexpectedly, everyone was staring at him in the blink of an eye.

"Yeah...yes, last time the professor treated me to hot cocoa, I couldn't see anything at all with my glasses on!"

With Conan, a bespectacled man, speaking for himself, even though he's just a kid, he's enough to illustrate the point.

Hiko Akutagawa further pointed out some issues: "Not only that, in Wednesday's photos, his hair is thicker and he looks younger than on Monday and Tuesday. This kind of similarity is common on the street."

"Furthermore, unlike the deceased Mr. Masaki Negishi, this gentleman on Wednesday is left-handed."

Not to mention the twin-like appearances of Kaito Kuroba and Shinichi Kudo, even the resemblance between Yoko Okino and Yuko Ikezawa from behind is far less striking.

In other words, Kogoro Mouri was rather careless and didn't think about it in this way. In addition, he didn't know the deceased at all, so it was naturally difficult for him to distinguish the difference between the two.

Akutagawa looked up from the pile of photos: "Inspector Megure, for someone with such a strong motive and who specifically created an alibi, it's perfectly acceptable to bring them to the police station for a few days to cooperate with the investigation."

That's being polite. Suspects like this could be detained first, and if they encounter some police officers eager to make a contribution, it's not impossible for them to pull off a memory recovery trick.

Inspector Megure's eyes lit up, and he looked at his subordinates: "What are you all standing around for? Go and invite Mr. Abe Yutaka to cooperate with the investigation. Takagi, you'll lead the team."

Akutagawa leaned back on the sofa and chuckled, "The rest will be easy. Follow his trail to find the person impersonating Negishi Masaki. With witnesses and physical evidence, we can convict him."

In fact, not only the police, but also the insurance company, Akutagawa Hiko, felt that Abe Yutaka's behavior constituted murder for insurance fraud.

5 million, even if the unit is Japanese yen, is definitely not a small amount.

This trend must be stopped.

However, when Takagi was mentioned, an image popped into Akutagawa Hiko's mind, and when he looked over, he received a kind smile.

Takagi Wataru is a typical example of a supporting character who rose to become a main character, and he will have a lot of screen time in the future, so Akutagawa Hiko smiled and nodded at him.

However, considering Takagi Wataru's actions at times, his personality is quite muddle-headed, especially in the early stages before he had experienced so many cases.

Is it really impossible for something to go wrong?

But at this point, we can only trust the police's capabilities.

According to Murphy's Law, the more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen.

Officer Takagi called quickly. Abe Yutaka's house was empty; all the valuables had been taken, and no one knew where he was.

Akutagawa Hiko pinched the bridge of his nose. How could they have gotten away like that?

"Inspector Megure, we absolutely cannot let that guy get away. Things will get complicated if he escapes the country!"

Kogoro Mouri looked anxious.

Seeing others in a hurry, Akutagawa Hiko became unhurried.

Come to think of it, he deduced everything, and no one would question his abilities.

If the person really escapes, it's due to the police's incompetence, and the loss is to the police's already limited credibility, not to Akutagawa Hiko.

However, whether it's based on persona design or for better future cooperation, it would be best to capture the person together.

"Inspector Megure, someone who would risk the life of a friend of twenty years to commit insurance fraud wouldn't abandon everything to hide in the deep mountains and forests. He must be planning to take the money and live a carefree life abroad."

Kogoro Mouri nodded quickly: "That's right, Inspector Megure, quickly send someone to the airport to intercept them!"

Considering the widespread use of surveillance in the world of Detective Conan, Akutagawa Hiko made a somewhat pessimistic suggestion:

"Check the nearby surveillance footage to see Abe Yutaka's escape route. Also, keep an eye on the train station. Since he escaped in advance, he may have abandoned his original itinerary."

Inspector Megure was also furious. His previous behavior at the police station didn't count, and now that he was on the run, he didn't know how much more work he had to do.

Akutagawa Hiko stood up and asked, "Where is the restroom? I'd like to use it."

After Inspector Megure pointed out the direction to Hiko Akutagawa, he hurriedly went to work on directing the capture of the escaped Yutaka Abe, as it would be a huge loss of face if he let him get away.

Conan jumped off the sofa and followed him, saying, "Brother Akutagawa, I need to use the restroom too."

Akutagawa glanced at Conan, who had followed him, but didn't pay him any mind. He took out his phone and dialed a number: "Hey, there's a fugitive you might be interested in. I'll send you the address in a bit. Go intercept him. You can use that, but don't hurt any innocent people."

Upon hearing these words, which had the air of an outlaw, Conan hesitated, then opened his mouth and said, "You haven't joined some illegal organization, have you?"

Akutagawa Hiko, amused, flicked Conan's forehead with his finger: "Can't you think of me in a better light? That's not true."

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. There's no need to talk about chivalry when dealing with fugitive suspects. What's wrong with asking some friends for help?"

Conan covered his head, his eyes practically rolling to the sky: "Why are you all so fond of my head? And what is that thing you're talking about? It's not some kind of dangerous object, is it?"

"It's because your head feels good to touch."

Akutagawa Hiko rubbed Conan's head. This round, early Conan head looked so appealing that you wanted to rub it, which was more satisfying than rubbing a walnut.

"As for what I mentioned..."

Akutagawa Hiko pulled a palm-sized piece of paper from his pocket. It had the character "爆" (explode) written on it, along with many incomprehensible runes.

Conan tried to take the explosive tag for a closer look, but Akutagawa Hiko immediately took it back.

"Shinichi, are you ready?"

Conan looked completely bewildered: "What preparations? What preparations are you making?"

I haven't even sorted out that shuriken yet, and now what's suddenly popping up?!

Akutagawa Hiko shook his head and remained silent.

"Alright, let's hurry back. Staying in the toilet for too long isn't a good thing."

In this era before smartphones, who would want to spend too much time in the toilet? Either they're lazy or they're constipated...
