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

Chapter 71 Night Talk

Chapter 71 Night Talk

Asano's expression was particularly complex.

Although he didn't know what Akutagawa Hiko was hiding, as a high-achieving student who had passed the medical licensing exam at a young age, his knowledge told him that the towering pillar of fire could not be caused by explosives.

As for the giant wave that extinguished the flames, his three years of living on Moonshadow Island also told him that there wouldn't be waves more than ten meters high here.

Based on Akutagawa's reaction after seeing the body, and the behavior of his round-headed detective assistant, Asagi Minori felt that he had vaguely touched upon the truth. In any case, it wasn't an excuse that sounded like it was made up, and one that was made up very carelessly. However, it was better not to delve too deeply into it; playing dumb was also a kind of wisdom.

So many things happened at once, everyone was a bit tired and went back to the hotel early, but their minds were still very excited and they couldn't fall asleep at all.

The group gathered together to chat, and Suzuki Sonoko even pulled Asano Minori along, wanting to see where she fell short of "her."

He lost convincingly.

"So, you're actually a boy, and Akutagawa was chatting with you on the beach just to stop you from killing someone for revenge?!"

Sonoko Suzuki stared intently at Asano Minami, who didn't look like a boy at all, her eyes darting suspiciously between the two seemingly unconcerned individuals, and tentatively accepted this explanation.

In other words, her strategies and plans didn't completely fall apart halfway through!

Ran couldn't help but exclaim, "Really, you can't tell at all! Ah, I don't mean to say Dr. Aso you're not like a man—"

Asagi smiled nonchalantly, and after revealing his identity, he used his original voice again, almost as if he had a different voice actor: "This is my own choice. Isn't your thinking a compliment to my flawless disguise?"

After saying that, she glanced at Akutagawa Hiko, who was calmly flipping through a magazine beside her, and sighed: "But I didn't hide anything from Detective Akutagawa. You noticed something was wrong outside the clinic today, didn't you?"

Conan: Meow meow meow?

Conan was full of question marks, wondering where this conclusion came from. They had just arrived on the island, shouldn't they have been on the same starting line? How did they find something was wrong?

Akutagawa nodded indifferently: "Back then, I just thought you had some kind of peculiar hobby, and that's why I glanced at you a little more."

Asahi nodded knowingly: "At that time, because I was about to start my revenge, my nerves were on high alert, and I was particularly sensitive to sight."

After saying that, Asagi asked with some curiosity, "Could you tell me how you noticed something was wrong? Even my former teachers and classmates, who I used to spend every day with, couldn't recognize me in this outfit."

Although Akutagawa Hiko directly determined Asagi Minami's gender through his memories of his past life, he did notice the difference between Asagi Minami, who was dressed as a woman, and ordinary girls when he passed by the clinic before.

Since activating his Byakugan, even without using chakra to activate it, Akutagawa Hikaru's eyesight and observation skills have improved significantly, allowing him to notice details he would normally overlook.

No matter how well Asami dresses up, she can't change her body structure, so it's not difficult to tell whether she's male or female.

When talking about awakened pupil-type bloodline limits, Akutagawa Hiko thought of a certain conjunctivitis patient who was born nearsighted.

The reputation of "Boruto" wasn't very good back then, and Akutagawa Hiko didn't watch it. It's quite normal for a sequel to ruin the original. However, I learned from other sources that Sasuke's daughter seems to be congenitally nearsighted.

I wonder if it will affect the lifespan of the kaleidoscope. Using eye techniques can cause vision loss, which might be problematic if someone already has poor eyesight.

While subtly drifting off into his own thoughts, Akutagawa Hiko explained to the group how differences in body structure led to differences in outward appearance.

When I was cramming on ninja theory, human anatomy was a crucial part of the course, but since it was a basic course, I didn't spend too many reputation points on it.

Akutagawa explained in great detail, but it seemed that only Conan and Asano Nami listened attentively. The others were not very interested and only refrained from interrupting his little lesson out of politeness.

I completely understand.

It's normal not to be interested in knowledge that you may never use in your lifetime.

Conan listened attentively and took notes diligently, which Akutagawa Hikaru understood, since it could be used when solving cases. But Asano Narumi listened so attentively—that's right, Asano Narumi is a doctor.

Akutagawa Hiko realized what was happening.

Otherwise, it's impossible for him to become a cross-dressing master in the future.

After listening for a while, Ayako Suzuki felt dizzy and disoriented, but she still cleverly grasped the key point: "Can this method detect disguises?"

Reminded of this, Sonoko Suzuki realized what was going on and said, "Lord Kid is extremely skilled at disguise. With Akutagawa here, we can definitely capture Lord Kid, and then—"

Conan replied without hesitation, "Send Kaito Kid to prison!"

Dong Yi Conan, clutching his head which was swollen with a large bump, squatted in a corner and started drawing circles. The group couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.

Akutagawa Hiko's lips curled into a slight smile.

If you actually send your cousin to jail, that would be truly ridiculous.

"Hmph, of course it's to unveil Lord Kid's mysterious veil and reveal his unknown face to me, Suzuki Sonoko!"

"Ran, don't you want to know what Kaito Kid looks like?!"

Ran's lips twitched slightly, and she smiled awkwardly, "Kidd—...Master—"

Ran Mouri simply couldn't understand why Sonoko Suzuki would refer to an international phantom thief in that way, especially an uncle who had been active for nearly twenty years and had been a phantom thief for a full eighteen years. What was so interesting about that?

Akutagawa Hiko inwardly scoffed, "If Sonoko were to excitedly remove the Phantom Thief Kid's disguise and find Shinichi Kudo's face instead..."

Are you sure you won't just punch him?

Thinking of Shinichi Kudo's cousin, Hiko Akutagawa felt a mischievous urge.

What would happen if Ran were told that Shinichi Kudo wasn't embroiled in a case, but had instead become a phantom thief?

Conan, who was on the phone with Professor Agasa, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and looked around.

Who, who wants to harm me?!

However, Akutagawa Hiko ultimately abandoned the idea. He decided to just tease Conan and Kaito Kuroba and not involve Ran. Otherwise, Akutagawa Hiko was really worried that once Conan recovered, he would be met with Ran's iron fist.

Thinking this, Akutagawa Hiko naturally interjected, "You guys said that Phantom Thief Kid has been missing for eight years, and now he's suddenly reappeared..."

Does this mean an accident happened back then, and this is already the second generation of Kid?

Kaito Kuroba, far away in Ekoda, felt a chill run down his spine. His usually steady wrist trembled, and the playing cards scattered all over the floor.

Kaito Kuroba turned his head and looked around, wondering, "Who...who wants to hurt me?!"
