Chapter 334 Special Privileges: Infinite Mana Bar

Conan looked at Wang Changsheng speechlessly.

"Kids will always be kids. No matter how different they are or how good their upbringing is, their ideas at this age are always wildly imaginative."

Conan couldn't help but recall what he was doing when he was Wang Changsheng's age.

"I think it's in Hawaii?" Conan was a little unsure.

In any case...

Even if Wang Changsheng's family started training him from the womb, what difference could it make?

Even if it's a little better than his performance at this age, it's only a little bit.

"Rather than saying those handprints were made by the murderer using magic, you'd be more accurate to say the deceased made them themselves," Conan scoffed.

Seeing his disbelieving look, Wang Changsheng shrugged.

That's just how life is sometimes.

You try your best to hide something, but someone will inevitably find out.

On the contrary, if you calm down and speak the truth frankly, no one will care whether what you say is true or false, or they will just think you are joking.

"Forget it, I knew you wouldn't say anything useful." Conan didn't seem to care about Wang Changsheng's remarks or take them to heart, and simply waved his hand casually.

He then asked, "Speaking of which, the letter of authorization that the unknown client sent to you was similar in content to ours, wasn't it?"

Although it was a question, Conan's statement was a statement of fact.

Wang Changsheng recalled what Tomoyo had told him she knew, and then confirmed the contents of their letter of entrustment with Conan's words.

Finally, he nodded.

"More or less." Maybe.

When the letter of request was mentioned, Conan's expression became slightly serious.

"I've always felt that there was something strange about the contents of that letter of authorization, but now that things have developed to this point, I understand some of the words in that letter."

"Oh?" Wang Changsheng raised an eyebrow. "How so?"

With him providing the straight man, Conan didn't hesitate to share his opinions.

"The letter of authorization issued by that client may not be as simple as just a commission; it may represent more than that—a murder threat issued by the client!" Conan narrowed his eyes.

"A murder threat?"

"That's right!" Conan propped himself up on one arm and rested his chin on the other. He and Wang Changsheng slowed down in sync, so much so that they had fallen behind the group.

Reigen Shinryu originally wanted to follow, but Wang Changsheng indicated that he should just stay with the little wolf.

Reigen Arataka guessed that Wang Changsheng might have something special to say to Conan, so he didn't follow.

"First of all, the murderer who planned this case and the person who issued the commission should be the same person."

Conan shared his thoughts with Wang Changsheng: "Besides, that murderer probably won't stop after killing one person. I think he still has a few more people to deal with."

"Huh?" Wang Changsheng blinked. "How did you figure that out?"

Hearing Wang Changsheng say this, Conan looked at him strangely: "You're talking as if you already know that."

"Why can't I know?" Wang Changsheng pouted and urged, "Tell me how you know?"

"Didn't the commission say something like, 'The darkness shrouding Moonshadow Island will gradually recede'? What does 'gradually' mean? Doesn't that mean one after another?"

Conan frowned: "I think this man named Hideo Kawashima might just be the beginning of his death. The killer won't stop here."

"Sigh, we should have stayed at the scene tonight; we might have made a new discovery." Conan looked up at Uncle Mori in front of him and then sighed.

He suggested to Uncle Maoli that they stay overnight at the community center.

But I'm also afraid of getting punched a couple more times.

So I'm a bit troubled, not knowing whether I should just say what I think directly, or wait until night to sneak out.

If I wait until I get back and sneak back to the scene after Xiaolan falls asleep, I'll have to make up an excuse to fool the old policeman, and there will be a lot of trouble to explain.

In short, it's very inconvenient.

There's nothing we can do about it; as a child, he's bound to face restrictions in many ways.

It's one thing to just follow Uncle Mori around normally.

If he sneaks out and messes around, he'll be severely restricted.

"You want to go back to the scene?" Wang Changsheng asked, looking at Conan.

"Yes." Conan nodded slightly without hesitation.

"That's easy, I'll help you." Wang Changsheng pondered for two seconds, then smiled.

"You'll help me? How will you help me?" Conan was somewhat surprised by Wang Changsheng's words, but then a hint of wariness appeared in his eyes.

He had a premonition that Wang Changsheng was about to act like a monster again.

He was just about to tell Wang Changsheng that he didn't need Wang's help.

However, before he could utter a single word, Wang Changsheng shouted, "Uncle Mori! Conan says he wants to go back to the crime scene and keep watch!"

"The King of Death lives forever!" Conan's eyes widened in fury.

He wished he could tear Wang Changsheng's mouth open on the spot.

Message: Conan truly felt your enthusiastic interaction.

Message: You have been granted special privileges—unlimited mana bar (one hour)!

Message: Negative points from Conan Edogawa +1000

Unlimited mana bar (one hour)

Assessment: A perfect victory for cheaters and those with special privileges.

Ability: By activating this permission, you will have unlimited magic power for the next hour.

PS: This permission can be enabled or disabled at any time. It will automatically disappear after one hour of use.

"Hey, this reward seems pretty good." Wang Changsheng subtly raised an eyebrow as he looked at the system notification.

His blue bar is now long.

But in reality, it couldn't support him in fully using some advanced magic.

Only a few simplified versions can be provided.

As a result, the output cannot keep up, and the power is naturally greatly reduced.

If we were to encounter an ultimate boss, we might not be able to defeat it.

However, with this infinite mana bar, he can fully utilize his god-level magic even when facing unconventional dangers.

"It's only an hour. If a fight really breaks out, with all that magical bombardment, an hour is too long..." Wang Changsheng frowned, unsure how many fights this one mana bar could sustain him.

"What?"

While Wang Changsheng was studying the new rewards of the system, Uncle Mori, who was talking with Asai Narumi and Sonomi in front of him, turned around and his gaze fell on Conan.

Immediately, Conan fell silent, even his breathing became much softer.

He was prepared to be verbally abused by Uncle Mori.

However, to his surprise, Uncle Mori didn't scold him or come over to beat him up. Instead, he asked, "Conan, do you want to go back to the scene? Is this your own idea, or...?"

Uncle Mori didn't finish his sentence; instead, his gaze fell on Wang Changsheng.

The meaning is quite obvious.

"This is all Conan's idea, Uncle Mori," Wang Changsheng said truthfully. "Conan just told me that he was worried that it wouldn't be safe with only one old police officer guarding the community center overnight, so he wanted to go and help out."

This is basically what Conan meant; Wang Changsheng wasn't making things up.

He did this because he really wanted to help Conan return to the crime scene.

Anyway, there weren't any clues for him to find over there.

Let him go and keep watch all night, without sleeping.

The next day, Wang Changsheng didn't believe his spirits could be that good.

If you're not even thinking clearly by then, what will you use to reason?

"Is that so?" Uncle Mori nodded, then remained silent for a moment.

After thinking for a moment, he said directly, "Actually, we just talked about it and we think we really shouldn't go back to sleep like this. If only that police officer is left at the scene, and the murderer is a desperate criminal, he might target that officer in order to completely destroy the scene, and then things will get complicated."

Conan and Wang Changsheng were both stunned when Uncle Mori said that.

"So, Uncle Mori, what do you mean?" Wang Changsheng was the first to come to his senses and asked Uncle Mori.

"I think I'd better go back and check on the situation, and it would be best if I could stay there for the night," Uncle Mori said, expressing his thoughts. "I just spoke with Mrs. Daidouji and Dr. Asai, and they are very supportive of doing so."

"Huh? Is that so?" Wang Changsheng shifted his gaze from Uncle Mori to Sonomi behind him.

"Yes, I just discussed it with this Mori detective, and we think it would be best to go and take a look." Sonoko nodded.

However, Sakura, whom she was holding hands with, didn't look too good; she looked very conflicted.

Clearly, she had been following Yuanmei and overheard their entire conversation.

So they already knew that they might be planning to return to Gongmingguan.

Xiaolan also seemed a little reluctant.

"But even if we go back, you kids don't need to come along. The detective said he can go. I'll take you to the guesthouse in a bit, and you can go back to sleep. You don't need to worry about anything else," Sonomi added.

Upon hearing this, Conan was the first to jump out.

"I'm not sleepy, Uncle Mori. I want to help too. Let me stay by your side; I'm a fast runner!"

"Haha, what a cute child."

Sonoko was amused by Conan's words, but she felt that the suggestion was somewhat inappropriate.

However, since Conan wasn't a child she brought with her, Sonomi naturally wouldn't bypass Uncle Mori to order or demand that Conan go back to sleep.

After all, she has her own things to do when she gets back, and even if Conan goes to the crime scene again, that's something Detective Mouri should handle.

So she turned her attention to Uncle Mori.

"You can come along if you want, but remember, you're not allowed to run around again this time."

Uncle Mori didn't insist that Conan had to go back.

Perhaps they thought it wouldn't be a big deal for a little boy like him to come out and run around.

He gave a word of advice, then smiled and said to Sonomi, "Conan is right, he's quite good at running errands."

"Are you going, Xiaolan?" Xiaoying looked up at Xiaolan beside her.

"Me...?" Xiaolan turned her head, her expression somewhat helpless. "I think I should go."

The three of them came together this time.

Her father and Conan both went.

She was quite scared to go back to live alone.

We have no choice but to go...

Xiao Lan sighed softly.

"Then, Xiao Wang..." At this moment, Xiao Ying also looked at Wang Changsheng, who was a little further away, wanting to ask him if he was going back to the guesthouse.

"I'll go and take a look too. You and Tomoyo should go back first. Your brother just called to urge you. If you don't go back, I don't know how worried he'll be." Wang Changsheng took a few steps forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Xiaolang and Reigen Arataka again.

Ultimately, a group of people made a decision.

Sonomi took Sakura, Tomoyo, and Syaoran back with her.

That's right, Little Wolf originally wanted to go with Wang Changsheng.

However, Wang Changsheng found it troublesome to have him do things, so he let him go back to sleep alone.

This seemed to have dealt a blow to the little wolf, who followed behind Tomoyo in a daze.

However, Wang Changsheng ignored him.

The group went their separate ways.

One of them returned to the guesthouse.

One side returned to the community center.

Before parting ways, Asai Narumi said he would bring some late-night snacks for Uncle Mori and the others, so he didn't come with them but went home first.

After Wang Changsheng and Uncle Maoli arrived at the crime scene.

As soon as Uncle Mori entered the music room, he saw the corpse on the floor covered with a tattered cloth.

"What?!"

Upon seeing this, Uncle Mori's face immediately darkened.

"I knew I had to come back and take a look!"

Uncle Mori puffed out his beard and glared, somewhat angrily: "How come they moved the body? Does that old policeman have any common sense?!"

"Not only that, he also tampered with the sheet music." Conan's brows furrowed even deeper than Uncle Mori's.

But he didn't seem as furious as Uncle Mori.

Since the scene has already been destroyed, there's nothing that can be done.

Unexpectedly, they turned back specifically to avoid the murderer tampering with the scene.

As it turns out, no matter how much you guard against it, it's hard to guard against a thief within your own family.

The scene had already been completely destroyed by that old policeman.

However, their dissatisfaction differed from that of Conan and his friends.

Wang Changsheng, on the other hand, was suppressing a laugh.

"Great, that's good! I don't even need to cause any further damage."

"Did he even tamper with the sheet music?" Uncle Mori's brows furrowed into a deep knot.

He even suspected that the old policeman on the island might be working with the murderer, and that he was there specifically to help the murderer destroy the crime scene.

When the storm passed that night, the out-of-town detectives rushed over, only to be met with this scene. They must have been incredibly frustrated...

"Speaking of which, where is he?" Uncle Mori looked around, intending to find the old policeman to question him, but he didn't see the old policeman who should have been guarding the place.

"He wouldn't have gone back, would he?" Uncle Mori's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "Did he think that guarding the scene was just about putting the body down and covering it with a rag?"

"How on earth did he become a policeman?!"
