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

Chapter 5: Saving an Innocent Dog, Plus Two Mischievous Kids

Akutagawa Hiko did not take shortcuts in these daily tasks, but carried them out honestly and in a proper manner.

Whether it was chakra extraction, ninja tool throwing, ninjutsu training, or taijutsu training, Akutagawa Hiko completed everything meticulously, step by step.

Ultimately, besides the rewards for completing these tasks, the gains in the process are equally important. Accumulating knowledge and experience over time is always beneficial.

The time in Ke Xue's book is problematic; only the year, month, and day are correct. The 24-hour cycle of a day is accurate, with the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, and the sky gradually darkening.

At this moment, Akutagawa Hiko had arrived at the gate of a middle school. Upon looking at the sign, he realized that it was the location of Conan's debut battle—Futahashi Middle School.

Not long ago, the system released a new task—[Rescue the bullied child], and also provided a coordinate.

Upon seeing the name of the middle school, Akutagawa Hiko immediately realized what this was all about.

If I remember correctly, there was a mischievous child who was no less capable than the members of the Junior Detective League, and in some aspects even surpassed them. She was the daughter of a company president.

This little girl, dissatisfied with her father's busy work schedule and neglect of her, planned a kidnapping and ended up kidnapping herself.

Her accomplice was her household housekeeper.

It's one thing for a little girl to be immature and it's normal for her to act impulsively at that age, but the butler just joins in the nonsense.

Even more outrageous, they actually left the little girl alone in a nearby restaurant. A real kidnapper happened to be passing by and saw this. Adhering to the traditional virtue of "since we're already here," he simply took the girl away.

With all the children missing, the company president, in his desperation, actually turned to the bumbling detective Kogoro Mouri.

At this time, Kogoro Mouri, although somewhat famous, was mainly involved in investigating extramarital affairs, stalking mistresses, and catching cats and dogs.

Perhaps the company president thinks finding a child is similar to finding a cat or catching a dog.

By sheer chance, they encountered Conan, who lost his composure at the mere mention of the man in black.

Soon, with Conan's guidance, Kogoro Mouri uncovered the first layer of the mystery—the kidnapping plot orchestrated by the little girl.

Unfortunately, there's a second layer to this case.

Conan transforms into a dog rider, unafraid of certain rural rumors about "riding a dog and tearing your pants," as he searches for the chimney the little girl mentioned.

Finally, a flash of inspiration led them to Erqiao Middle School, where the kidnappers were located.

Unfortunately, Shinichi Kudo's combat ability was basically that of an average person; all his attribute points were put into his health bar, resulting in low attack and defense but high health and durability.

This characteristic becomes even more pronounced when shrunk to the size of Conan.

Shinichi Kudo was able to struggle a bit because there was a ball near his foot, but the soccer ball that Conan kicked was caught by the culprit with one hand, and even the dog that could carry people was brutally attacked and knocked to the ground.

One man and one dog, and the entire army was wiped out.

………………

Because the little girl had seen his face, the kidnapper revealed a sinister smile and prepared to kill her to silence her.

Fortunately, Conan arrived in time, and the dog, eager to protect its owner, pounced on the thug.

Conan rushed to the little girl's side, tore off the tape from her mouth, and with a confident smile, reassured her, "Don't be afraid, it's alright now..."

The problem is, how can a dog defeat an adult male wielding a baseball bat, especially a ruthless kidnapper who is about to kill you to silence you?

After being brutally beaten, he collapsed to the ground, howling in pain.

Left with no other choice, the righteous detective had to take matters into his own hands. Before long, he was caught out and brutally beaten like a rag doll.

"Hehe, it's time to deliver the final blow. Killing one is the same as killing two."

The thug grinned maliciously and continued to beat the victim with a baseball bat.

Even the thickest health bar can't withstand this kind of attack.

Conan's vision went black for a moment as he suffered repeated blows to his head, abdomen, and other parts of his body.

"Damn it, am I going to die here? If only I had brought the adults with me..."

Conan looked at the baseball bat coming towards him, but he didn't have the strength to raise his hand to block it, so he could only close his eyes tightly.

"I'm doomed, I'm going to be killed. Once I'm shrunk, I won't be able to do anything!"

Conan, who hadn't received the fatal blow yet, opened his eyes and was instantly blinded by a blinding light.

It wasn't because the password was correct that Conan turned into light.

A large hand gripped the baseball bat firmly, rendering the kidnapper immobile for a moment.

Upon seeing the familiar figure, Conan blurted out, "Akutagawa!"

"Um?"

Akutagawa Hiko turned his head and looked at the battered Conan, giving him a reassuring and gentle smile.

"Does the little kid recognize me? It's all over now. Let me take care of this guy first."

As he spoke, Akutagawa Hiko turned sideways and kicked hard at the hand that the kidnapper was gripping the baseball bat tightly.

With a snap, the kidnapper was already kneeling on the ground screaming in pain, clutching his dislocated arm. The baseball bat spun out and landed right on Akutagawa Hiko's outstretched hand.

"Kidnapping?"

A blow landed on the kidnapper's head, the sound making Conan's teeth ache.

"Beating up a child?"

The blow landed on the abdomen, and the kidnapper curled up like a cooked lobster.

"Harming a dog!?"

This was the hardest blow; the kidnapper no longer had the strength to even howl.

Seeing Akutagawa raise his baseball bat high again, Conan quickly dragged his injured body and grabbed Akutagawa's leg.

"Okay! Stop it! He'll die if you keep hitting him!"

Although the criminal is despicable, Conan can't just stand by and watch his neighbor commit a crime. The criminal should be brought to trial in court, not subjected to vigilante justice.

Stopping now would at most be considered excessive self-defense due to acting in the name of justice, and a verbal warning would be fine, but killing someone would be a crime punishable by imprisonment!

Akutagawa glanced down at the tattered leg accessory, then at the frail kidnapper, and without hesitation smashed the baseball bat next to the kidnapper's head.

The baseball bat snapped in two, leaving a shallow crater in the ground, and flying pebbles scratched the kidnapper's grim face.

The stinging pain on his face was nothing compared to the pain on his body, but the scene so close to him made the kidnapper completely afraid to move, fearing that the next blow would splatter his brains.

Conan's heart was in his throat, but thankfully it was just to scare the kidnappers, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Akutagawa tore Conan off his lap and placed him next to the little girl like a chick, thus loosening the knot that had ignited the case.

The little girl, who had been terrified by what she had just witnessed, felt her heart skip a beat when she saw Akutagawa Hiko's face as he earnestly untied her.

Looking at the disheveled Conan and the kidnapper groaning and sneezing on the ground, he quickly looked at Akutagawa Hiko to wash his eyes.

The male celebrities on TV are nowhere near as good as the older brother in front of me.

Just as the little girl was feeling all rosy and happy, the sound of police sirens echoed throughout the school.
