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

Chapter 140 I Heard You Want Revenge

Chapter 140 I Heard You Want Revenge

Not long after, the group returned to "No. 398, Violet Villa" again, this time with Dr. Saeki on the side. Dr. Saeki even started searching for psychologists he knew while driving.

"Mr. Akutagawa, do you think we should find a psychologist? I'm not good with words, and I'm afraid I won't be able to persuade Noriko."

Dr. Saeki quickly thought of a doctor named Kyosuke Kazato, who was said to have originally been a surgeon at the Tokyo University Hospital.

After an accident, he became a cardiologist at Beika Yakushino Hospital.

This doctor has a very good reputation, perhaps it's possible—

"Whom do you plan to see for a psychologist?"

Akutagawa Hiko originally thought that even if he couldn't persuade her, there was still Conan, and perhaps Ai could also do her part.

However, it's best to be on the safe side.

When Akutagawa Hiko heard the name from the man driving the car, he was slightly taken aback, because the doctor's name was extremely well-known.

This seemingly refined and polite young doctor is actually an arrogant, suspicious, and treacherous mini-boss in the movie, and he has achieved a triple kill.

Not only did she kill a colleague, but she also killed two police officers in succession, nearly killed the popular character Miwako Sato, and even planned to kill Ran Mouri, Conan, and the son of a police officer.

Apart from the first person, Yasushi Nino, who in his eyes prevented him from holding a scalpel, everyone else was innocent and was simply a pure villain.

He actually had a good relationship with the police; they always gave him the greatest possible assistance within the permitted limits, because they couldn't just stand by and watch someone die.

"Don't worry yet—"

Akutagawa reassured the doctor who was driving, reminding him to be careful on the road. He said that everyone in the car was safe, but it would be bad if innocent people were hurt.

Furthermore, Akutagawa Hiko was considering the feasibility of reporting that audacious psychologist, who, if he remembered correctly, was illegally possessing a firearm.

Conan was carrying a pot of blooming cactus flowers. There were many more in the trunk, all planted by Tatsuya Yamaguchi. His friend, who was also her attending physician, was worried that she might hurt herself by touching them, so he took them to his home to take care of them.

Now, these beautiful flowers have all bloomed, and their surging vitality has even moved Akutagawa Hiko.

The flowers that Conan and Ai hold are the best blooming ones among these flowers.

They hoped that these relics would awaken in this woman, who was determined to seek revenge, her hope for the future and prevent her from having her later years ruined by two scoundrels.

"Ouch!"

Conan was suddenly pricked and reluctantly pulled the splinter off the seat.

When faced with Akutagawa Hiko's investigation and the truth, the woman who had lost her lover covered her face and wept. She wouldn't listen to anything anyone else said, and the cactus flowers had no effect whatsoever.

Even Conan's talk-no-jutsu was completely ineffective.

Noriko Okaya covered her face and wept: "Please, please don't tell anyone. I won't bother you anymore, but I must avenge this. Saeki, you don't want to see the murderer get away with it, do you—"

What followed was a classic flashback, from when he first joined the company, a reserved newbie in the workplace, to their acquaintance, their growing friendship, their falling in love, and their promise to get married, until a trip three months ago, which tragically separated them by death.

The client was a bit agitated, but that was understandable.

Akutagawa ruffled Conan's hair and then tapped his good-for-nothing neighbor on the head.

"You all go out first, I want to talk to this lady alone."

Trusting the famous detective, Dr. Saeki and Conan and Ai left the room, thoughtfully closing the door to create a space for them to be alone.

After waiting in silence for a while, Noriko Okayani's sobbing gradually subsided.

Akutagawa Hiko thoughtfully handed over a handkerchief.

"Thank you, I'm sorry you had to see that."

Noriko Okaya's eyes were red and bloodshot from crying, clearly not as calm as she appeared.

Akutagawa Hiko cut to the chase: "I think you understand what I mean. I want to advise you to abandon your original revenge plan."

Before she could finish speaking, Noriko Okayani was about to retort, but Hiko Akutagawa stopped her with a gesture.

"Listen to me first—"

"Your fiancé lost his life because of these two scumbags, and you plan to take revenge for him. In the end, you will not be able to escape unscathed no matter what. There are only two possible outcomes for you: death or life imprisonment."

Noriko Okayani shook her head: "I don't care. I've already put my life out of the question. You probably can't understand, but if it's the most important person to you—"

Akutagawa Hiko shook his head as well: "I will definitely take my revenge—"

Or rather, if someone were to target someone important to him, given his current abilities, it might be difficult for him to fight the world on his own, but starting a world war would not be difficult.

Noriko Okaya looked at Hiko Akutagawa in surprise, clearly not expecting him to say such a thing. Was he really here to persuade her to give up her revenge plan?

Akutagawa smiled and continued, "Because I'm human too, but as a detective and an ordinary citizen, I feel I still have a responsibility to stop crime."

"Perhaps you feel that you no longer care about this life. After Mr. Yamaguchi died, your heart died too. The only thing that keeps you alive is revenge."

Noriko Okaya clenched her fists, clearly realizing she had been right.

Akutagawa sighed: "But the life you don't care about, many people do."

"Your attending physician, your neighbors, the old man who stood up for you, including Conan, Ai, and I, do not want you to be swallowed up by the vortex of revenge."

Noriko Okaya's expression softened, and Hiko Akutagawa decided to press his advantage: "You love Mr. Yamaguchi more than you love yourself, and I think Mr. Yamaguchi feels the same way. He certainly wouldn't want you to not even cherish your own life in order to avenge him."

Pat pat—

Tears streamed down her face, but Noriko Okayani didn't bother wiping them away: "But—but—I still can't swallow this."

Given Noriko Okaya's current state, just spend more time talking to her and let her vent her frustrations. As long as she avoids making any mistakes, everything will fall into place.

However, Akutagawa Hiko had no intention of letting the couple off the hook. It was one thing for them not to care about their own lives, but they didn't care about other people's lives either.

Akutagawa Hiko's demeanor shifted, transforming from a righteous detective into a member of a mysterious organization: "I heard you're seeking revenge. I wonder if you've ever heard of Root?"

Noriko Okayani's heart raced instantly, and she stared dumbfounded at Hiko Akutagawa's transformation.
