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

Chapter 14: An excessive pursuit of perfection can lead to even bigger flaws; it's better to fi

A new day begins, the weather is sunny, and I feel refreshed.

Under the mournful gaze of his shadow clone, Akutagawa Hiko pushed his motorcycle out the door without any qualms.

"You must cultivate diligently."

Akutagawa Hiko waved his hand and then walked away.

Shadow Clone Yan angrily punched and kicked the dummy: "The real body is really too much! Watch me train hard, I'll work you to death when you get back!"

Unable to resist the shadow clones of the main body, he could only vent his anger on the dummies, performing a set of basic Konoha-style taijutsu with impressive skill and flair.

Amidst the roar of motorcycles, Akutagawa Hiko watched with amusement as the progress bar for his daily tasks ticked by.

In the past, when I was busy, I wished I could split myself in two. Now, it has actually come true, even though it's just a B-rank ninjutsu.

It is foreseeable that dispelling the shadow clones will bring double or even more fatigue, but compared to the more time others have, this fatigue is negligible.

Moreover, as one's strength increases, the side effects of shadow clones will decrease.

As he passed a shopping mall, Akutagawa saw Yoko Okino's program on the screen, and his face under his helmet showed a slight surprise.

After experiencing something like that, being able to quickly adjust and throw oneself wholeheartedly into work is simply unjustifiable.

Moreover, after completely shedding the image of Fujie Akiyoshi, this idol singer on screen became even more dazzling.

When Akutagawa went to the police station to give a supplementary statement, he learned from the police that Okino Yoko had dropped the charges against Ikezawa Yuko and chosen to forgive her colleague.

If Akutagawa Hiko, who is known for his vindictiveness, were to encounter such a situation, he would never allow her to leave unscathed. It would be an act of kindness on his part to not wash her face clean with makeup remover, take a picture, and post it online.

Akutagawa Hiko didn't understand, but he respected.

Immediately afterwards, a news report suddenly appeared on the screen, which caught Akutagawa Hiko's attention.

Because this is a case that is not in Akutagawa Hikaru's memory bank, it means that if you want to gain some prestige through this case, you can only rely on your own abilities.

"Around 8 p.m. last night, a charred male corpse was found at the fire altar in Akagi Village, a tourist hotspot in Gunma Prefecture."

"Based on the items found at the scene, the deceased has been identified as 42-year-old Masaki Negishi. Police believe that homicide is highly likely and are currently conducting an in-depth investigation..."

Akutagawa Hiko searched his mind again: Gunma Prefecture, Fire Festival, charred corpses, but the search failed.

However, Akutagawa Hiko quickly perked up. This anime has so many episodes, it's normal to miss some. Besides, he's watched so many Detective Conan cases that he's quite knowledgeable in theory and experience.

Being able to operate it on my own makes all those years of learning from TV worthwhile: "This is not bad, it's quite challenging."

However, when Akutagawa arrived at the police station, he discovered that this case was not a normal Detective Conan case.

This isn't a multiple-choice question with three options; it's a proof question, only with a time limit.

Before this man named Abe Yutaka leaves the country, it must be proven that he committed the murder, or at least his alibi must be broken, so that he can be detained and sufficient time can be allocated to find evidence.

"Uncle Mori, time is of the essence, let me help too."

Before Kogoro Mouri could answer, Inspector Megure, recalling Akutagawa Hiko's earlier performance, beamed with delight: "Then I'll leave it to you, Akutagawa-kun!"

Kogoro Mouri didn't want anyone else involved in this matter, but the thought of that person, who seemed kind but was actually incredibly arrogant, with an ugly face full of fearlessness and confidence, made him even more annoyed!

"Hmph—with the two of us detectives teaming up, let's see how arrogant that guy can be now!"

Kogoro Mouri stopped dawdling and immediately told everyone what he knew and how he had been used as a perfect alibi.

In short, the body was discovered during the fire festival on Thursday evening, and Kogoro Mouri had been tracking the deceased until Wednesday night.

In other words, the estimated time of death for the deceased was between Wednesday evening and Thursday evening.

The man named Abe Yutaka took the entire company on a trip to Kyushu on Tuesday and didn't return until Friday. Everyone in the company can vouch for him.

The less than one hour he spent away from his employees was simply not enough time for him to travel between the two places, let alone hide the body in the fire altar after killing someone, away from everyone else.

After listening, Akutagawa Hiko nodded thoughtfully.

Compared to the others present, Akutagawa Hiko had a clear advantage: his perspective.

Akutagawa already had an idea.

Seeing this, Inspector Megure quickly asked, "So, do you have any ideas?"

Akutagawa smiled confidently: "I already have an idea, but I still need some clues. Did Uncle Mori take any photos when he was tracking you?"

Kogoro Mouri was overjoyed: "Of course I have one! I carry it with me at all times to find that guy's weakness!"

Inspector Megure also pulled out a file folder: "These are photos taken by Abe Yutaka during his trip; they should be of some use."

Akutagawa thanked him and accepted the two file folders.

Akutagawa Hiko first opened the bag containing the photos Abe Yutaka had used to prove his alibi, arranging them one by one in chronological order. This was very convenient because…

"That's so strange!"

Conan, standing to the side, spoke in a strange, childlike voice, a smile full of childlike innocence on his face: "This uncle must really like clocks, because there are clocks in all the photos!"

Akutagawa rubbed his hands, which were covered in goosebumps. For someone who knew Conan's true identity, it was really hard to keep up with him pretending to be a child.

Noticing Akutagawa's gaze, Conan awkwardly gripped the ground with his toes.

Akutagawa Hiko quickly recovered and agreed with Conan's statement: "That's right, it's almost like he's deliberately trying to create an alibi for himself."

Kogoro Mouri slammed his fist on the table, his face beaming with excitement: "That's right! I knew it had to be him! He had every motive!"

Having been a police officer for so many years, Inspector Megure was much more composed and reassured him, "But we still haven't broken his alibi."

By this time, Akutagawa Hiko, with his increasingly rapid hand speed, had already arranged the photos in another file folder in chronological order: "No, there's evidence!"

"What?!"

Hiko Akutagawa pointed to the two photos from Tuesday and Wednesday: "They're not obvious when viewed individually, but when put together, they're completely different people."

Kogoro Mouri leaned closer, his eyes wide like saucers: "Really...really!"

"If the deceased died on Tuesday, then Mr. Abe Yutaka's alibi falls apart..."
