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

Chapter 32: Let's Open a Detective Agency

As soon as the group of police officers, the murderer, the detective, elementary school students, and high school girls stepped out of the art museum, they were met with a barrage of flashing lights.

Murder cases have always received widespread attention, especially in this detective-centric world, where many media outlets have built their buzz around sensational murder cases.

Upon seeing the speeding police cars, the reporters rushed out like sharks smelling blood, carrying their cameras and microphones.

The most important thing about news is that it's "new," and firsthand information is extremely important.

Upon seeing that the person wearing the silver bracelet was actually an elderly man with a white beard, the unscrupulous reporter immediately began to speculate about a conspiracy, bombarding the police with a series of questions that contained hidden traps.

Inspector Megure, a veteran police officer, single-handedly withstood 80% of the firepower. With the assistance of former Director Ochiai, the issue quickly shifted from whether to find a scapegoat to the specific details of the case.

Akutagawa Hiko, who solved the case, was naturally regarded by reporters as a rising star among the new generation of famous detectives.

After all, what this rather talkative former director of the museum said was really exaggerated. He claimed to be able to see through the cause and effect at a glance, to have a meticulous grasp of people's hearts, and to be righteous and able to distinguish right from wrong...

In short, Kuku showered him with praise.

Then, he indirectly said that his technique was very exquisite, using the praise of Akutagawa Hiko to pat himself on the back.

"Perhaps this is fate. On the very day I took action, such a righteous detective appeared and stopped me from making one mistake after another..."

At the end of the interview, the former director of Ochiai Museum said this with a face full of emotion.

The reporter's camera and pen were practically smoking. What makes news go viral? It's all about generating buzz, and this case was certainly generating a lot of buzz.

The criminal, exposed by the detective, did not harbor resentment or curse. Instead, he praised the detective who sent him to prison, expressing his admiration and respect for Akutagawa Hiko.

Wouldn't that increase the level of discussion?

A reporter smacked his lips, looking at the very photogenic, handsome young man.

Unfortunately, this young detective wasn't as talkative as the curator, so he couldn't dig anything out of him.

However, just by having this photo in the newspaper, plenty of people would be willing to pay to buy a copy. Coupled with excellent writing skills and a compelling case, there's no worry about sales.

……

Having never been interviewed in his two lives, Akutagawa Hiko dealt with the reporters rather clumsily before returning home to his warm haven.

After gaining chakra, Xiaolongbao and Tangbing didn't change much on the outside, but they were completely transformed inside. They became stronger and smarter than cats and dogs of the same age.

Akutagawa looked helplessly at the two future immortals who were blocking his way, their eyes darting nervously towards him.

He is quite clever, but not clever enough, or rather, not wise enough, meaning he hasn't accumulated much wisdom through experience.

Like many animals, they are said to have the intelligence of a child of a certain age, but they have never been to school and do not understand many things.

If Akutagawa wanted to see it, there was no way those two could stop him.

I pushed the door open, and as expected, the inside was a complete mess. The cat tree was overturned, the doghouse was broken, and even the curtains had been turned into fringed styles.

It was like going through a major battle.

Shadow Clone Yan Youyou passed by, picked up the bag of vegetables, and said, "These two had a fight this afternoon."

Akutagawa Hiko dispelled his shadow clones and instantly understood the cause and effect.

Xiao Long Bao and Tang Bing, whose physical enhancements from chakra were beginning to show, ran wild all over the house, and wouldn't stop even when locked in their room.

Even the biggest house couldn't keep up with their antics, and their physical altercations gradually escalated.

Fortunately, one of them was thick-skinned and didn't have any murderous intent, and the big orange didn't show any agility. Only the decorations in this room suffered.

Although Hiko Akutagawa adhered to the principle of "children should solve their own problems," it was still necessary to educate the cat and dog to prevent them from becoming arrogant and unaware of their family hierarchy.

In addition to physical punishment, Akutagawa also wrote a self-criticism report for them, preparing to repay today's debt when they were able to complete it.

In short, the sounds of cats crying and dogs howling lasted for half the night.

The next morning, Akutagawa Hiko encountered Conan again in the professor's laboratory and casually asked if the person Hirota Masami was looking for had been found.

Conan shook his head: "Yesterday, the uncle took the photo and asked around, but he couldn't find any clues. Nobody had ever seen the person in the photo."

Akutagawa Hiko once again experienced the gap between times; nowadays, finding someone requires showing them a photo and asking them one by one.

Of course, even in later generations, this basic method was not eliminated, as the masses are a natural camera with a huge base.

"Ms. Hirota called again today; it seems she really cares about her father."

Of course, after all, it involves a huge sum of one billion yen, and the mission of whether she and her sister can leave the organization and start a new life.

Akutagawa didn't talk much with Conan; he had a plan—to open a detective agency.

As soon as he woke up this morning, Akutagawa Hiko habitually glanced at his pitiful reputation points, only to find that they had jumped up significantly overnight, reaching an unprecedented value.

At this rate, Akutagawa will be able to exchange for a pair of Byakugan in less than a week!

Akutagawa Hiko was greatly shocked and immediately thought of yesterday's interview.

On his way to the Metropolitan Police Department on his motorcycle, Akutagawa Hiko passed by a newspaper, and the huge photo on the sample instantly caught his attention.

Without realizing it, two coins were missing from my pocket, but a roll of newspaper had appeared.

Many people buy newspapers, and women make up a larger proportion of the buyers.

Akutagawa Hiko finally realized where all his prestige came from.

Although the newspaper's language was exaggerated and even somewhat fabricated, it not only called him an unprecedented detective who could make criminals repent, thus stirring up a lot of hatred for him, but also dissed a certain high school detective who had disappeared long ago.

But I still have to say, well done!

Especially that photo, it was taken very well, it looks like something out of a detective movie.

The Metropolitan Police Department officers were very hospitable to Akutagawa Hiko, offering him hot tea, snacks, and even a personal escort.

Of course, there's also the reason why the Metropolitan Police Department isn't very busy right now.

"Mr. Akutagawa, you're now completely famous!!"

After taking the statement, Takagi Wataru looked at the newspaper in his hand with a smile on his face. Although the description of the police station in the newspaper was only a few words, and they were all polite words that were neither praise nor criticism.

But thanks to Hiko Akutagawa, at least there were no negative reports about the Metropolitan Police Department.

I might want to write it, but after finishing the story of the protagonist, Akutagawa Hiko, I might not have enough space...
