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

Chapter 286 The Season of Love

Chapter 286 The Season of Love

Logically speaking, a mere recording cannot be used as evidence for conviction. However, firstly, Kenji Toba confessed to the crime, and then with this recording, a search warrant can be easily issued, and a violent search will find nothing.

With so many witnesses, and with Hiroyuki Kanaya's body still there, Kento Toba has no way to escape legal punishment.

"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I might have gone down the wrong path, covering up his crimes with a book, and even losing my precious life. Thank you."

Before leaving, Akutagawa Hiko proactively asked for Toda Maria's contact information, believing that anyone with special abilities should be recruited to one's side as much as possible.

Furthermore, Akutagawa Hiko had a great interest in local supernatural abilities.

Since learning red magic, although his performance is certainly not as strong as ninjutsu, Akutagawa Hiko has discovered that these things do have unique features.

Including the magic of the Kuroba family.

Although Kaito Kuroba can always seriously explain the scientific aspects of magic to him, in Akutagawa Hiko's opinion, this so-called magic technique is even more magical than Conan's science, and should also be considered a kind of magic.

Akutagawa Hiko thought of Kuroba Toichi, the first Kid, who was a master of magic under the guise of magic.

They appear very infrequently and for very little time, yet their prestige is ridiculously high.

Learning from others' strengths is a good thing, and there's nothing shameful about it. Besides, with ninjutsu as a foundation, learning and integrating different techniques isn't particularly difficult, and he has already made some progress.

At Professor Agasa's residence, Akutagawa Hiko put down his screwdriver, looked at the withered yellow leaves hanging on the trees outside, and remarked on the ever-changing seasons in the world of Detective Conan.

Not long ago it was summer, when you needed air conditioning in the car, but now it's autumn, when you need to wear more clothes.

Each of the four was busy with their own thing, and Dr. Agasa was tinkering with his new invention.

Ai is still researching the antidote for APTX4869. The antidote obtained from Lao Baiqian is only temporary, and she needs to conduct further research.

However, without samples, the research progress is far from ideal.

Conan is learning ninjutsu. Although he is still learning about chakra transformation, he has already made much more progress than Ai Haibara.

As for Akutagawa Hiko, he was trying to create a puppet that could rival the Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters. After fusing the White Secret Technique and the Red Secret Technique, Akutagawa Hiko was quite confident.

Putting aside everything else, the materials that exist in modern times are far superior to those in the ninja world, both in terms of strength and properties.

Even something like chakra conduction metal has to be purchased from the reputation shop. There's no way to find a better or worse alternative, let alone a lower-tier one.

Originally, Hiko Akutagawa wanted to create a Gundam-type puppet that was not only cool and stylish, but also conformed to the simple belief that bigger is better and more is better.

However, considering the exorbitant price of the chakra conduction metal, Akutagawa Hiko decided to simply create a puppet the size of a human. Since he could pilot a Gundam with his eyes, he disdained using external force.

Moreover, ninjas are creatures that value secrecy; what would they want to do if they were constantly thinking about charging into crowds and wreaking havoc?

A phone call shattered the peaceful atmosphere. It was Conan's mother, Yukiko Kudo, calling. Conan had no choice but to answer his mother's call again.

Akutagawa Hiko put down his screwdriver, covered the unfinished puppet with a soft cloth, and asked curiously, "Why has Yukiko-neechan been calling so many times these past few days?"

Logically, Akutagawa Hiko should address Yukiko as "Auntie," but after hearing that Akutagawa Hiko had called Eri Kisaki "older sister," Yukiko Kudo earnestly requested that he address her the same way.

"It's Dad's fault. Dad is a bestselling novelist, so he's bound to have a lot of social engagements. Lately, he's been coming home drunk every time, and there's even a woman's lipstick on his shirt. Mom suspects he's having an affair."

To paraphrase Conan, his father had no such talent; a man whose mind was filled with mystery novels would never have the mind to deal with multiple women at the same time.

Moreover, because the couple had a good relationship and for various other reasons, they would argue every now and then, and then one of them would coax the other to keep things fresh. Conan himself had gotten used to it.

God knows how miserable it was for him to be worried about the couple getting a divorce many years ago. He ran around doing everything he could to help them, only to be completely fooled and forced to eat dog food by the two of them in the end. After that, he just listened and never got involved.

As they were talking, Conan, imitating Professor Agasa and Ai, mixed a vial of red and blue medicine together with swift and skillful movements, causing a minor explosion that earned him an eye roll from Ai.

Akutagawa looked at the test tube, which was two-thirds full, and felt uneasy about it. However, considering that the professor and Ai were both geniuses, they must have their reasons for doing it this way, so he didn't mention any issues with the standard operating procedure.

The doctor has recently taken a particular liking to scratching his head, which draws attention to his thick hair. He chuckled and said, "Only couples who are really close would argue about something like this. Autumn is a season for romance."

Ai disagrees with this view: "It's just a gimmick created by businesses to make money. They can link anything to romance and make money off those young couples who aren't thinking straight."

It's one thing for people to have money and ability to spend money on happiness; there's nothing wrong with that. But many people who don't have money don't want to end up like young people who aren't truly in love, only to end up with nothing.

Akutagawa Hiko stroked his chin, remembering the Christmas present Sonoko Suzuki had given him, and couldn't help but look at Professor Agasa teasingly: "Speaking of which, Professor Agasa is getting on in years, shouldn't you be thinking about something? Would you like me to introduce you to an old lady?"

Professor Agasa's face instantly turned red, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Ahiko, don't joke around, I don't have that kind of thought."

Conan, intrigued, asked, "Professor, you're not against marriage, are you? Your circumstances aren't bad, so how come you're still single and don't even have a romantic interest?"

Ai put down what she was doing and looked over curiously.

Sure enough, gossip is in everyone's nature. Apparently, someone wanted to jump into the river to commit suicide, and no amount of persuasion from the police could stop them, until that girl heard a piece of gossip—

Faced with the aggressive questioning of his three juniors, Professor Agasa finally couldn't hold back and ran out, clearly unwilling to tell the truth.

"The Doctor looks like this—"

"There's definitely something fishy going on—"

"Maybe the Doctor has a crush on someone, but there are no clues, and we don't know if the other person is single or what they think of the Doctor."
