The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1081: Suzuki Sonoko, the Source of All Evil in Teitan
Under the coercion and inducement of the Iron Fist Saint, Fujino accepted the commission to investigate the supernatural events in the school.

Suzuki Sonoko felt that it might be because of her that Fujino was implicated, so she decided to help with the investigation. After all, she was largely responsible for the spread of rumors in Teitan High School.

It was natural for Mao Lilan to participate in it.

As the client, the Iron Fist Saint naturally has to follow in the investigation.

So, during lunch break, the four of them came to the infirmary to see the student who fell down the stairs this morning.

Hiratsuka Shizuka opened the door of the infirmary and shouted inside:

"Xinchu, how are the people?"

"Everyone is fine."

Shinide Tomoaki slowly stood up from his seat: "It should be said that he was just a little frightened, nothing serious, but I still suggest that he rest in the infirmary for a day for observation, in case there are any undetectable injuries."

"New doctor?"

Xiaolan and Sonoko looked at Tomoaki Shinide, a little surprised: "Didn't you say that you were going to the hospital in Aomori?"

"Why are you back again?"

At this time, Xiaolan and Sonoko were unaware of what was happening to Tomoaki Shinide.

Under Fujino's leadership, the current Xiaolan and Sonoko do not know that Tomoaki Shinide was once impersonated by someone, nor do they know that Judy is a member of the FBI.

They are both clean and pure good children.

Aride Tomoaki smiled awkwardly, knowing that he couldn't tell them about his legendary experience of being replaced by a woman from a mysterious organization and then being protected by the FBI.

I could only think about it, and with a normal expression, I made an excuse and explained, "Actually, that's what I had planned, but when I think about it, there are still many patients who haven't been cured here, and my father is gone, so I can only continue to stay here..."

"Besides, I can't bear to leave here."

"So you will continue to be the school doctor here?"

"Yes, of course I will come over and work part-time as the school doctor."

Xiaolan and Sonoko seemed very happy that Tomoaki Aida was able to stay and be the school doctor. After all, Aida was quite popular among the girls.

Fujino frowned and paid attention to the key point.

So, after such a long time, in your eyes, only a little over a month has passed?

It’s worthy of being the world of science.

"Okay, stop nagging. We still have things to do. We can talk about it later."

Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't feel anything about this. She interrupted the conversation and walked to a bed. She introduced the short-haired boy lying on the bed to Fujino:
"This kid is Shigu from the third grade. He was the one who saw a ghost this morning and then fell down from the building."

"Young man, we are investigating the incident in which you fell from the building. You said you saw a ghost at that time. Is that true?"

"Well, I'm not sure, but I did see a figure."

"A human figure?"

"I'm not sure...after all, I hit my head when I fell down the stairs."

Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at him suspiciously, opened her suit jacket, took out a small notebook from inside and wrote something, acting like a female detective: "So you were in a trance at the time?"

"Yeah, that's it, but I did feel someone pushing me from behind, but there was no one behind me at the time, so it might just be an illusion..."

"But that person seems to be Hosaka..."

"Hosaka Hideaki?"

At this time, Tomoaki Aride suddenly spoke, as if he knew something.

Hiratsuka Shizuka noticed this and asked directly, "Do you know him?"

Shinide Tomoaki nodded and responded, "That's right... When he got into trouble, I was the first one to rush to the scene. Although I was still a basketball coach at the time, I also served as the school doctor."

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly said, "Are you talking about Hosaka Hideaki who fell down the stairs two years ago?"

"It must be him..."

Shigu Guofan nodded vigorously: "We were classmates in elementary and junior high school. It was not until high school that I had an accident while riding a motorcycle and stayed in the hospital for half a year. When I was discharged from the hospital, I found out that he fell from the building..."

"You mean, it was Hosaka Hideaki's spirit that pushed you down from the building?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka stopped writing and drawing, pinched her chin, and looked thoughtful.

Fujino couldn't help but glance at the notes in the notebook and asked her, "Um, Mr. Hiratsuka, why are you writing this down?"

"Take notes."

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked a little serious, and there was some doubt in her tone: "Don't we have to take notes when investigating a case?"

Fujino: "..."

No, it shouldn't be a feeling.

This lady seems to be really taking on the role of a female police officer?

Well, if you think about it carefully, this Iron Fist Saint is also quite childish.

…………

The afternoon investigation has come to an end here, and it can be temporarily confirmed that the instigator of the rumored supernatural events is Hosaka Hideaki who died two years ago.

Come to think of it, we were classmates of Fujino back then.

He was a very shy child who liked to draw comics. Then one day, I heard that he fell down the stairs and died.

Fujino doesn't believe in ghosts or anything like that.

A gentleman does not speak of strange and supernatural things. Supernatural events like this are most likely man-made.

This is also the case in Fujino's memory.

…………

Club activity time after school.

As the gossip intelligence network of Teitan High School, Sonoko knows this kind of supernatural story best, so under her leadership, the Teitan trio, plus Hiratsuka Shizuka who COS as a female police officer, and Tomoaki Aida who was drafted in to serve as a soldier, came to the outdoor sports warehouse of Teitan High School.

"First of all, it's here, the Sighing Sports Warehouse. On a rainy morning, the girls from the gymnastics club who were doing morning exercises came here and heard a terrible sound of someone sobbing coming from the empty warehouse!"

"Then, when the gymnastics girls who had escaped came over with people from other clubs, the crying stopped abruptly!"

“This is the only table left!”

Sonoko lifted the gray cloth covering a space in the sports warehouse, revealing the desk inside. She described the scene vividly, as if she had seen it with her own eyes: "This is the cursed desk left behind by the boy named Hosaka Hideaki who died two years ago!"

"There were many different opinions at the time. Everyone suspected that it might be a ghost who died here a long time ago and was looking for someone to replace it. Hosaka Hideaki was killed by a ghost!"

"Now his wronged soul is also looking for a replacement!"

Xiaolan, who was afraid of ghosts, had no resistance to this kind of low-level ghost story. She looked at the desk with a look of horror on her face, swallowed her saliva, and was a little scared.

Fujino felt extremely speechless, as he felt that this story was a bit like the legend of river ghosts in his previous life.

Come to think of it, he also had some impression of this incident.

This table is not like that at all.

"What a cursed table!"

"Hosaka just accidentally fell down from the building. What wronged ghost? Please stop making up rumors, okay?"

A female voice was heard, and Fujino turned around and saw a pretty girl with short hair wearing the uniform of Teitan High School walking towards him.

He recognized the other person's identity at a glance.

Sumi Tsukamoto of the Karate Club.

"Sister Shumei?"

"It's Maori..."

"And Fujino?" Fujino and Tsukamoto Susumi also knew each other. It should be said that they were in the same class back then.

Speaking of which, he had spent some time with this group of people when he was in the first year of high school.

Of course, it’s not the current him, but the former Fujino Doji.

There are only memories, no reality.

So Fujino didn't have any feelings towards these people.

However, it is still necessary to be polite.

Fujino greeted Tsukamoto Susumi and then continued:
"That guy Seko fell down the stairs this morning and said he saw Hosaka's spirit or something. Recently, there have been some paranormal incidents circulating in the school, so I was asked by Mr. Hiratsuka to investigate those paranormal incidents."

"That's it..."

"Come to think of it, I never expected that after you disappeared for a year, you would become a household name detective when you came back."

"That's good, it can stop those rumors. Thank you for your help!"

Tsukamoto Susumi is very outgoing. It should be said that she is indeed very familiar with Fujino Doji, after all, they were in the same class before.

She is a third year student and a senior in Xiaolan's karate club.

He is also the captain of Teitan High School.

She looked around the sports warehouse and decided to help: "The supernatural events in this sports warehouse are just rumors."

"Look, isn't there a ventilation window on top of the sports warehouse?"

"When strong winds blow in through that window, it makes noises because of the air leaking in. But no one has taken care of it, so it's just been left there."

As she spoke, she sighed and said indignantly, “I don’t know who made this incident become such a weird sigh!”

Suzuki Sonoko lowered her head guiltily.

Fujino: "..."

I think I know who spread it.

…………

It started to drizzle, then turned into a heavy drizzle.

Everyone came out of the sports warehouse and headed to the second rumored location - the Library of Ghosts!

On the way to the library, everyone also met Shigu Kuniharu.

After seeing him, Tsukamoto Sumi said in a very resentful tone: "Hey, Seko, what's wrong with you? Why did you say you saw Hosaka? Do you know that rumors have started to spread because of what you said?"

"It might be an illusion, but I really saw it..."

"Maybe it's an illusion."

Seeing that Seko Kuniharu looked somewhat helpless, Shinide Tomoaki explained, "Generally speaking, people who hit their heads have a certain chance of having memory disorder, or in other words, the possibility of seeing hallucinations. It is possible that what Seko saw was an illusion."

"Isn't that too serious?"

"It's about the brain, so we should be more cautious. It's best to go to the hospital..."

"Okay, okay, I'll go back and lie down."

Shigu Guofan seemed a little helpless: "But if the rain stops later, I have to go home. I don't want to go to the hospital."

Shinde Tomoaki could only smile helplessly.

Hiratsuka Shizuka next to him glanced at him, crossed her arms and said, "Do you want me to help tie him up and carry him to the hospital?"

"..."

Everyone was silent for a while after hearing this.

Fujino had no doubt at all that the Iron Fist Saint might do this for the sake of her students' health.

…………

"But it's really rare that you go to the library, senior sister!"

"Xiaolan, who do you think I am?"

"I study very hard, okay?"

Tsukamoto Sumi felt uncomfortable after being teased by Xiaolan: "If you don't believe me, ask Fujino. I used to be at the top of the class!"

"That's true."

Fujino nodded: "Tsukamoto's grades are still okay."

"Besides, you're going to take the college entrance exam soon. If I don't work harder, I won't be able to get into a good university. To be honest, I'm a little envious of you..."

Tsukamoto Suzumi sighed, glanced at Fujino, and said, "I was able to repeat a grade, take the exam a year later, and become a famous detective, and even a consultant to the Metropolitan Police Department."

"I heard that the University of Tokyo will recommend you to the Criminal Psychology Department after you graduate."

"Is that true?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was also surprised when she heard this.

For Japanese students, the University of Tokyo is equivalent to Tsinghua University and Peking University.

She looked at Fujino and smacked her lips: "I didn't expect you to be so talented..."

Fujino was confused when he heard this: "Why haven't I heard of this?"

"There's none?"

"Who on earth did you hear that from?"

"It's just a rumor..."

"It's fake, who on earth spread such an outrageous thing?" Fujino showed dead fish eyes and couldn't help but complain.

There is no such thing as direct admission in Japan, only recommendation, which is actually the same as direct admission.

At that time, Eri Kisaki was recommended to study abroad at Harvard University.

Little did he know that while he was complaining, Suzuki Sonoko avoided his gaze guiltily, put her hands behind her back and whistled.

Well, it was Yuanzi who spread it again.

…………

There were still three or two students sitting in the library after school.

These are all high school students. Maybe they forgot to bring an umbrella because it was raining, so they simply stayed in school to study.

After all, in Japan, getting into a good university is indeed very important.

Even in the early days of this world, before the bubble burst, students from famous universities would be poached by large companies before they even graduated, given luxurious trips abroad, and invited to parties in high-end restaurants.

Even after the bubble burst, students like those from the University of Tokyo are still very popular.

It should be said that this is the case for students from top universities no matter where they are.

Tsukamoto Sumi was well aware of the rumors about the library, and explained to everyone, "I heard that when someone came to the library in the morning, they saw books thrown outside in a mess, and they were all books that Hosaka had borrowed from the library before."

"And not just once! But for four consecutive days!"

Sonoko took over the conversation with a confident look, saying, "This must be the ghost of Hosaka who was haunted because he could no longer read these books after his death!"

Fujino: "..."

How do you know it so clearly and with good evidence?

So you were the one who spread this rumor, right?
Fujino updated the information about Suzuki Sonoko again.

How can this be called Teitan High School’s intelligence network?
This is clearly the root of all evil at Teitan High School!
