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

Chapter 17: This is neither scientific nor Conan-like, but very Naruto-like.

Yutaka Abe was eventually apprehended, but the inexplicable explosion shrouded the manhunt in mystery.

At the site of the explosion, nothing was found except for a few pieces of iron.

There were no remnants of an explosion, no gunpowder smoke, and the cause of the explosion was unknown. Some speculated that the fuel tank might have exploded due to sparks from the impact, but this was quickly dismissed.

Based on the scene, the fuel tank was intact when it exploded; the secondary explosion occurred en route to the hospital.

Perhaps it was because they subconsciously felt that since there had been one explosion, there was no real risk, so the cordon was set up very close, and thankfully no one was injured.

Conan is extremely sensitive to the absence of any explosive residue, and he doesn't dare forget any of the details of the day he shrunk.

The person who shrunk himself probably didn't know the true purpose of this "poison," and only considered it a poison that made it impossible to determine the cause of death.

Since some people are developing elixirs of rejuvenation and immortality, poisons that kill people with unclear causes of death have emerged.

Then why couldn't it be that while researching some forbidden black technology or medicine, they developed a byproduct that leaves no residue after an explosion?

Gunpowder, the ancestor of all gunpowder, was created through the legendary art of alchemy.

Thinking of this, Conan recalled the silver-haired man who had knocked him unconscious and forced him to take drugs that day, as well as the big guy who called himself "Big Brother".

These two people must not have held high positions in the organization, and they seem completely unaware of what even an outsider like Akutagawa Hiko knows.

Moreover, personally handling arms smuggling and extortion makes him seem more like a henchman than a leader of a transnational criminal organization.

Conan sighed. They hadn't even found a single thug or his henchmen yet. Eradicating the Black Organization was a long and arduous task.

Akutagawa Hiko had no idea that Conan's analysis revealed that Gin, who was on par with the Black Organization's second-in-command, deeply trusted by the organization's boss, and regarded as a god of death by ordinary members, had actually been reduced to the position of a henchman.

Otherwise, Akutagawa Hiko would definitely laugh at him for a whole year if he ever got the chance.

After Abe Yutaka's matter was resolved, Akutagawa Hiko and his group took their leave. What followed was no longer the work of a detective, but the job of a police officer.

Kogoro Mouri smacked his lips, looking regretful and wanting more.

"It's such a shame that such an arrogant person ended up in the hospital by sheer luck. I didn't get a chance to properly mock him and showcase my superb deductive reasoning skills as the great detective Kogoro Mouri."

Ran Mouri picked up the file folder and slapped it on her father's head: "Dad, you're talking nonsense again. Isn't this all thanks to Akutagawa...?"

Even Conan has made more discoveries than you.

Of course, to protect Kogoro Mouri's pride, Ran Mouri didn't say the last sentence.

"The photos I took were also crucial, okay? I made a huge contribution!"

Akutagawa Hiko smiled and agreed with Kogoro Mouri's statement. A camera is not something that is easy to control, and his photography skills are at least up to par.

Although the photos taken by Kogoro Mouri should be part of the chain of evidence for Yutaka Abe's "perfect alibi," let's still save some face for a middle-aged man in front of his daughter.

Conan used the excuse that he wanted to go to Professor Agasa's house to play and wanted to ride a motorcycle to go with Akutagawa Hiko.

Ran couldn't refuse Conan, and smiled apologetically, "Thank you so much, but this is really the first time Conan has ever been this close to someone."

"It's not troublesome at all. As long as Conan doesn't get involved in a case, he's quite easy to manage. Ran, you should also be careful. Having a sense of justice is a good thing, but you also need to weigh the risks, right?"

Although Conan is also categorized as a bratty kid by Akutagawa Hiko, he is much easier to take care of than a real bratty kid, since at his core he is still a high school student.

After exchanging a few words with Ran Mouri, Hiko Akutagawa waved goodbye, saying, "Don't worry about Conan, I'll take care of him safely to Dr. Agasa's house."

Ran Mouri was naturally very reassured by Akutagawa Hiko, but she was clearly a little worried about Conan. She squatted down and instructed him, "Be a good boy and listen to what Akutagawa-nii and Professor Agasa say. Don't stay up too late playing tonight, and go to bed early tomorrow because it's a holiday."

Akutagawa asked the police station for a helmet, put it on Conan's head, and then, under the approving gaze of the police officers who thought, "This is a law-abiding good kid," he placed Conan in front of them.

With a roar of the engine, it sped away.

Instead of going home, Akutagawa Hiko parked his car in front of Professor Agasa's house and casually slipped inside with Conan.

He glanced at the courtyard wall and breathed a sigh of relief upon finding it intact. He really didn't want to have to repair the wall as soon as he got home, even though the professor had offered compensation and helped with the repairs.

As soon as he entered, Conan couldn't wait to bombard everyone with questions: "Akutagawa, what exactly caused the explosion? Tell me quickly!"

Akutagawa Hiko calmly took out the explosive tag and placed it on the coffee table: "This is it."

Conan: You're kidding me.

Seeing that Conan didn't believe him, Akutagawa didn't explain further. Facts speak louder than words; once Conan saw the scene of the explosive tag exploding, he had no choice but to believe it.

Whether he would still try to explain it using his own scientific methods was beyond Akutagawa's consideration.

To be honest, the world of Detective Conan isn't very scientific to begin with. Things like being faster than a gun within seven steps, smashing a curved street lamp with bare hands, and punching a dent in a concrete pillar all require at least a mid-level martial arts skill.

If the witch next door were from the Phantom Thief Kid movie set, this world would have to be labeled as low-magic, practically a chaotic mess of demons.

Although Akutagawa Hiko didn't think Koizumi Akako was communicating with the real Lucifer, it does show that the world isn't as harmless as it seems on the surface.

In addition, there is a sorcerer known as the Spider, and the mysterious gem Pandora...

In short, Akutagawa Hiko dismissed the science that Conan talked about.

The greenery in Professor Agasa's yard was sparse, mostly ruined by his own inventions. Finally, on Akutagawa Hiko's advice, he simply removed most of the greenery.

The crimson flames illuminated Conan's stunned face, and the shallow crater in the ground proved that everything that had just happened was not an illusion.

Just now, a small piece of paper displayed the power of a high-explosive grenade in front of him, except that it didn't have shrapnel, so its power seemed less great...

Akutagawa Hiko didn't expect that Conan, a young man in every sense of the word, couldn't accept this event, which was neither scientific nor Conan-like, but Professor Agasa accepted it well.

As soon as the explosion ended, he couldn't wait to get to the shallow pit. He kept writing something down with his pen, muttering to himself, and his face showed visible excitement.
