Late at night, in the piano hall on the second floor of the community center, Yun Feng's group, along with Dr. Narumi and the old police officer, were all sleeping on futons. The hall was very spacious, so there were still many areas where blood hadn't splattered. They could only lie crisscross, finding spots untouched by blood to lay their futons.

Ran and Yun Feng happened to be next to each other in a separate area, and because there was a large pool of blood separating them, everyone else's futons were laid further away. Uncle Mouri and the old police officer were both fast asleep, their snores thundering like thunder, making it difficult for Yun Feng and the others to sleep. Coupled with the bloody scene inside, they were even more sleepless. Yun Feng was truly speechless at this moment. It was probably a case of "hoist by one's own petard." He had arranged the murder plot with Xiao Yu, and now he had to spend the night at the crime scene.

Just as Yun Feng was scoffing at himself, a soft voice came from Ran's futon nearby: "Brother Yun... are you asleep?" Yun Feng also gently replied, "No, what's wrong, Ran?" Because the hall lights were off at this time, he couldn't quite see Ran's situation next to him. In normal circumstances, turning on the lights would give a great sense of security, but in this room, with the body still hanging so high, sleeping with the lights on would be asking for trouble. "I, I'm still a little scared, Brother Yun." Ran said at this moment, her voice trembling slightly. She always felt a chilling atmosphere in the room, and she felt cold all over sleeping there. This was Ran scaring herself. It was because there were no tatami mats.

It would be strange if she wasn't cold in the middle of the night sleeping directly on the floor. Feeling Ran trembling beside him, Yun Feng slowly reached his hand into Ran's covers, gently taking her somewhat cold small hand, and softly comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be scared, Ran. Brother Yun is right next to you. Did you forget what I told you? I will always protect you." Feeling Yun Feng's sincere comforting voice, Ran gradually calmed down and slowly drifted off to sleep. She was truly exhausted today... Holding Ran's warm hand, Yun Feng felt Uncle Mouri and the old police officer's intermittent snores, as if they had been purified into a beautiful symphony, and he too gradually fell asleep... Yun Feng was also very tired today... Just as everyone was gradually falling asleep, three people were sleepless... One was still heartbroken for her master...

One was deeply pondering the perplexing points of the case... One was trying to figure out who was helping him get revenge... ... The next morning, the red sun rose. The sound of speed boat sirens broke the tranquility of Moon Shadow Island. These speed boats were all painted with the Metropolitan Police Department's insignia. Inspector Megure was also shocked for a long time by the bloody scene in the piano hall. Even as an experienced detective, this was his first time seeing such a terrifying crime scene. He then felt genuine admiration for those who had stayed overnight, but when he saw those people, his face suddenly became animated again... "Mouri-kun, it's you again?" Inspector Megure said in annoyance. Indeed, whenever something ominous happened, this guy was always present. Kogoro Mouri awkwardly patted the back of his head, then said helplessly, "Inspector Megure, I didn't want to either. Actually, I came here because of a mysterious request..."

Then Kogoro Mouri invited Inspector Megure to sit down and explained all the relevant information about the incident to him... Not long after, Yun Feng walked in from outside, carrying bags of breakfast. He had volunteered to buy breakfast this morning. He didn't want to eat those pathetic bentos with Xiao Yu anymore. After he and Xiao Yu finished their "two-person world" breakfast, he packed the rest for Ran and the others. Ran saw Yun Feng's hands full of breakfast and quickly came over to help him sort it out. At this moment, Inspector Megure also looked up at Yun Feng walking in, and was surprised to discover that this Super Commissioner was also here.

Yun Feng naturally saw Inspector Megure and said apologetically, "I didn't know Inspector Megure would also be here. You must not have had breakfast either. I should have bought more." This startled Inspector Megure, who quickly stood up, waved his hands vigorously, and said with a humble tone, somewhat similar to a subordinate reporting to a superior, "I wouldn't dare trouble the Super Commissioner, Your Excellency. I have already eaten." "Super Commissioner?! Subordinate?!" Kogoro Mouri and Conan both listened in surprise to Inspector Megure's self-address. Ran, standing by, also looked at Yun Feng with some curiosity. She had heard Brother Yun say before that he held a position in the Metropolitan Police Department, but she never expected that even the perpetually serious Inspector Megure would address Brother Yun as his subordinate.

Inspector Megure looked at everyone's reactions with surprise and asked, "Don't you know? Lord Yun Feng is the newly appointed Super Commissioner of our country's Central Police Agency, with the authority to supervise all police affairs in the country. Even the Superintendent General is under Lord Yun Feng's direct jurisdiction." Seeing everyone looking at him as if he were a monster, Yun Feng waved his hand and smiled, "This is just an idle position my father arranged for me, fearing I might encounter danger in the island nation. Don't overthink it, everyone." Conan was a bit slow to process this at the moment. He pulled Inspector Megure aside and asked in confusion, "Inspector Megure, can a person from Hua Xia also be a high-ranking official in our island nation?"

Inspector Megure shook his head and said, "I'm not too sure about that. Lord Yun Feng was directly appointed by the Director of the Central Police Agency, and I heard that he received unanimous approval from the cabinet ministers." Conan looked at Yun Feng in surprise upon hearing this, thinking that Professor Yun Feng must have a terrifying background in Hua Xia; otherwise, how could he hold such a powerful position in the island nation, with the entire nation's police force casually handed over to a foreigner to manage? Either the cabinet ministers of the island nation had lost their minds, or Professor Yun Feng's background was frighteningly strong... Thinking this, Conan's heart couldn't help but swell with joy. With Professor Yun Feng, who had such a super strong background and held the position of Super Commissioner, as a neighbor, those members of the Black Organization should not dare to approach. This way, he would be even safer... "No wonder that female teaching assistant was so violent; she turned out to be a bodyguard leader."

"Huh, wait a minute, a professional top-tier bodyguard like her should be protecting him closely. Why didn't she come along this time?" "Her skills seemed very impressive... Did she really return to Hua Xia?" "It seems necessary to ask Professor Agasa to find a way to investigate the immigration records..." Conan lowered his head at this moment, silently pondering in his heart... However... No matter how much Conan investigated, it would be useless. Yun Feng had long since learned not to underestimate any characters in the world of Conan, let alone this great detective... Yun Feng had already instructed Xiao Yu to complete all the registration lists and procedures at both Hua Xia's and the island nation's immigration bureaus long before...

Not even professional secret agents would find a single suspicious detail... In the maxims of a great person from his previous life, Yun Feng clearly remembered this saying: "Strategically, despise the enemy; tactically, take the enemy seriously..." Kogoro Mouri, of course, had also guessed Yun Feng's powerful background at this moment. He sprang up from the sofa with a "whoosh," ran to Yun Feng, patted him here and there, then laughed triumphantly, "Hmph, so Brother Yun actually has such an impressive identity! It seems I, your elder brother, might borrow your name to 'act like a fox backed by a tiger' in the future." "Uncle, what nonsense are you saying? Let alone borrowing my name, you could even be the Superintendent General of the Metropolitan Police Department if you wished," Yun Feng said with a chuckle, amused. But by referring to himself as "your nephew,"

if he were to address Kogoro Mouri as "brother," their seniority would be messed up if he ever wanted to marry Ran. Kogoro Mouri, hearing this, clapped Yun Feng on the shoulder and laughed heartily, "You're truly a loyal friend, kid. But your elder brother lost interest in being a policeman long ago. I'll just continue running my detective agency." Inspector Megure looked at this pair of lively characters, somewhat speechless. What would the Superintendent General think if he knew his position was almost lost because of someone else's joke...
