Thinking back to when he was in class before, Conan realized that he had wasted so much time daydreaming and idling away during those elementary school lessons. He felt that his past self had completely squandered his time.
With all that time, wouldn't it have been great to study professional knowledge instead?
With this in mind, Conan made a firm determination to not only utilize his spare time after school for focused studying but also make use of his class time.
In order to become stronger, he needed to study hard!
To surpass Senichi, to surpass all detectives, and become the "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei," he was prepared to give it his all!
As for whether he would get scolded by the teacher for reading during class, that wasn't a concern. As long as his grades were good, it didn't matter. Worst case scenario, he would change the book cover!
While Conan was determined to study hard, Senichi learned from Asama that the main character in this case was a man named Kaetsu Toshinori.
Kaetsu was a ruthless individual who killed his former accomplice and current boss to avenge his girlfriend.
Of course, those two were no good either. Asama had drugged Kaetsu's girlfriend, and his current boss, Keitaro Izumo, was secretly involved in drug trafficking for immense profits.
After their conversation, the two attendants returned together.
First, Senichi signed autographs for his fans, and then he received information from the male attendant. The attendant had already informed the train conductor about the situation here, and they had contacted the Hokkaido police. Someone would be waiting at the station after the train stopped.
After receiving Senichi's autograph, the female attendant was also asked by Senichi to invite a gentleman named Kaetsu Toshinori to come over.
With the cooperation of the train's staff, the female attendant quickly found him and brought Kaetsu Toshinori from Kogoro Mouri's room where he would be handcuffed.
"Please come in. There's someone who wants to see you," the female attendant respectfully opened the door and gestured for Kaetsu Toshinori to enter.
"Um... I wonder who's looking for me?" Since it was an invitation from a female train attendant and had some official nature to it, Kaetsu Toshinori believed it must be an invitation from some influential person. Otherwise, the female attendant wouldn't have been so "dedicated" in her invitation.
As he wondered which influential person might be involved, Kaetsu Toshinori entered the room and saw Asama, who was handcuffed.
In that instant, Kaetsu Toshinori's expression drastically changed. "What are you doing here...!"
The next moment, he felt two strong hands pressing down on his shoulders, swiftly subduing him to the ground.
"Apologies, but Asama has already been arrested, and he has confessed that you were his accomplice," Senichi said as he borrowed a rope from the attendant since there was only one pair of handcuffs. With one hand tied behind his back, Senichi continued speaking.
"You scumbag!" Kaetsu Toshinori couldn't help but angrily curse.
"Hmph! I may be a scumbag, but weren't you planning to kill me to avenge your girlfriend?"
Asama coldly snorted. "The accident during the robbery was intentional, wasn't it? In that case, I have no reason to be polite!"
"How did you know!"
Kaetsu Toshinori's face changed, and then he sneered, "Yes! I had planned to deal with you on this train and then kill Keitaro Izumo, that drug trafficker!"
"You bastard! Just as Detective Senichi said, everything was planned by you!"
Asama's expression changed, and he was about to get up and charge at Kaetsu Toshinori. Both men, bound with their hands tied behind their backs, looked like beasts, their expressions fierce as they tried to get closer, kicking at each other.
Of course, with Senichi and the others holding them back, the two men could only engage in a futile struggle, unable to land a hit on each other.
"Stop fighting! What awaits you is the judgment of the law!"
Senichi and Kogoro Mouri separated the two, and then Senichi looked at Kaetsu Toshinori and said, "You just mentioned that Keitaro Izumo is a drug trafficker. Can you give us more details?"
"You're... Senichi Karazawa!? And you're Kogoro Mouri!?" After being pulled apart by the two, Kaetsu Toshinori finally saw the faces of the two who arrested him and couldn't help but be greatly surprised.
As a fan of deduction, although his favorite was Yusaku Kudo, he naturally didn't lack attention to real-life "great police detectives" and "great private detectives." Seeing Senichi and Kogoro Mouri, Kaetsu Toshinori sighed and calmed down. "No wonder I got arrested. It turns out I ran into both of you."
"How about it? Regarding the matter of Keitaro Izumo, the drug trafficker, are you willing to provide information?" Senichi smiled and said, "This way, you won't have to commit murder yourself, and we can help you seek revenge."
"Of course," Kaetsu Toshinori didn't hesitate at all and immediately betrayed his own boss, revealing the dark secrets of Keitaro Izumo.
After learning that seeking revenge personally was hopeless, Kaetsu Toshinori, who was not only the manager of the jewelry store but also more like a servant acting as his secretary, revealed everything about Keitaro Izumo. Despite facing constant scolding, he had gained knowledge of many hidden aspects of Keitaro Izumo.
"Thank you. We will help you seek revenge," Senichi patted Kaetsu Toshinori's shoulder and said, "Remember, killing for revenge is never allowed and is the most foolish path to take."
"Heh..." Kaetsu Toshinori laughed self-mockingly, "Perhaps you're right... I'll leave the rest to you, Detective Senichi."
"Ah, leave it to me."
Senichi first called Officer Megure to explain the situation and asked him to lead a team to Kiyoshi City in Tokyo, completely wiping out Keitaro Izumo's hideouts.
On his side, he entrusted Kogoro Mouri with guarding the prisoner, and together with Conan, they swiftly arrested Keitaro Izumo, who was dining in the restaurant, looking completely bewildered.
With this, Senichi's plan came to a successful conclusion.
Using Asama, to expose his accomplice, Kaetsu Toshinori, and then utilizing Kaetsu Toshinori to expose Keitaro Izumo.
Nesting doll tactics, one layer biting into the next, the plan worked!
This time, they accomplished a great feat. Keitaro Izumo was a favored candidate for the upcoming mayoral election in Kiyoshi City, Tokyo. But who would have thought that such a person was secretly involved in drug trafficking.
If he had become the mayor, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Even now, it was already a major scandal, but fortunately, it was not beyond redemption.
So, when the authorities in Tokyo learned of this information, they went crazy and began the operation to clean up, utilizing the intelligence obtained by Kaetsu Toshinori.
As for Keitaro Izumo, he knew the situation was hopeless and promptly sold out all of his teammates.
Meanwhile, as a major earthquake struck Kiyoshi City, Senichi's side reached a conclusion. The attendants brought the prepared meal to the compartment, and they enjoyed a luxurious French feast.
Finally, as the blue train continued to travel toward its destination, it successfully arrived at the endpoint after daybreak.
Hokkaido, here they are!
