The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 335

Fujino had an impression of Hattori Shizuka, Hattori Heiji's mother. When they met, he actually recognized her at first sight.

It's just that the son is so dark, but the mother is fair and fair... It really doesn't make sense.

The key is, his father Hattori Heizo is not evil either!

This makes people don't know what to say.

In Ikeha's words, Fujino felt that it should be Hattori Shizuka's original last name before she got married.

If he hid his last name, he probably didn't want his identity to be recognized. After all, if he mentioned Hattori, he might be recognized directly.

Fujino could understand her name-seeking visit. It was just an act, to explore his own background...

It is estimated that Hattori kid will say something bad about him again after he returns. Otherwise, Hattori Shizuka would not be able to keep an eye on him.

Thinking of this, Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that he wanted to give that boy a taste of speaking ill of people behind their backs.

But then he thought about the script planned by Shizuka Hattori.

He just said that he was not married yet, and also gave himself a false surname, which was the surname before marriage, and even hid his wedding ring...

What family ethics drama?
As for the reason, it is estimated that if you say that you are married, this kind of commission will definitely be disliked by the detective. After all, it is definitely not appropriate to help other people's wives find a man they met a long time ago.

Is this the reason why she hides her wedding ring?

Her planning for this play was a bit grand, and it even felt a little scary to think about it.

Fujino didn't dare to think about it in detail. He thought for a while and then asked: "I heard on the phone just now that you have a photo of the person you want to find. I wonder if you can show it to me. In that case, I will It’s also good to determine the identity of that person.”

"Yes, but I feel like there aren't too many places for reference."

Hattori Shizuka said, taking out a photo from the small bag and handing it to Fujino: "The person holding the trophy in the middle of this photo is the person I want to find, Shibata Shiro."

"The photos of the kendo tournament, judging from the setting of the competition, should be the summer tournament in Kansai."

Fujino took the photo and looked at it.

The photo shows a group of three women and four men. They are wearing the protective gear used in kendo competitions. In the C position of the photo is a boy holding a trophy.

Next to the boy, there was a cute girl with a ponytail and a slightly green appearance.

At first glance, the face shape and features are exactly the same as Hattori Shizuka, so he should be the person...

Fujino raised his head and looked at Shizuka Hattori, and then looked at the photo.

The changes in 30 years are indeed a bit big...

Young girls have become wives with a stupid son.

Emm, it is true that a good-looking girl is still good-looking even if she is older in this world.

Fujino raised his chin and said, "The girl with the ponytail next to her should be Miss Ikeha, right?"

"Yeah... that was me. We were indeed participating in the summer conference in Kansai at that time. After graduation, I returned to Tokyo. I didn't expect that I would be recognized at a glance."

Hattori Shizuka was slightly surprised, raised his eyes, and looked at Fujino squarely.

From the beginning, the secrets she had hidden began to be revealed bit by bit.

Whether it's the wedding ring hidden on the hand or the area in the picture, everything is visible.

She had no doubt that if she revealed anything more, her true identity would be recognized.

It's really scary, it makes people feel like their hairs are standing on their heads...even though she doesn't have any hairs.

The purpose of her coming here this time was actually to explore the other party's true nature and confirm whether her stupid son was being bullied.

She had never seen this Fujino with her own eyes, but she had heard about it from her son and husband.

My son sprained his ankle last time, and after returning from Tokyo, he started shouting things like "What kind of monster is this guy Fujino?" "This guy really deserves to die!" "It's so abominable..." and the like.

She also asked her husband what Fujino was like, but the answers he got were "a very outstanding young man", "a young man with a promising future", "why doesn't that boy Heiji learn more from others?" He looks like someone else's child or an outstanding young man.

So she subconsciously thought that her son must have been bullied by this outstanding young man, and she came here to test it out.

"You can tell from your appearance in the photo. After all, Miss Chibo, you look like a hibiscus. You can probably tell it in the crowd at a glance."

Fujino chuckled and said: "As for the Summer Tournament in Kansai, I actually also study kendo, so I can naturally recognize it."

"It's really too much praise..."

Hattori Jinghua waved his hand in embarrassment: "I didn't expect that you are also learning kendo now."

At her age, having young people compliment her on her looks really made her feel good.

At the same time, she added some suspicion about her son being bullied.

How could such a talkative young man be a bully?
But I can’t get an answer so quickly. After all, I know people, but I don’t know their hearts...

"Yeah, I'm just learning to play, just learning randomly."

Fujino looked at Shizuka Hattori, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "Since the content of the commission and the person he is looking for have been determined, in this case, it is time to talk about the commission fee... In terms of difficulty Look, these photos must have been from a long time ago, and they are of little use. In other words, the only clue now is that one name. It is really difficult to find it. Originally, my price should be 60 yen... …”

"60 million yen?"

Shizuka Hattori was stunned for a moment and glanced at Fujino in surprise.

Although the money is not too much for her.

But just to find one person, it is indeed a bit expensive.

Obviously, she is still not familiar with our famous detective's way of treating 'acquaintances'. Regarding this, Fujino paused slightly and continued: "But since you are introduced by an acquaintance, Miss Ikeha, I can give Miss Ikeha a call." 50% off, please collect [-] yen... I have already prepared the contract when you come here. If you agree, you can sign and pay the deposit in advance."

"There is such a big discount... but it is still within the acceptable range."

Shizuka Hattori nodded, not expecting that he could cut off 10 yuan just by being introduced by an acquaintance.

Although 10 yen is not much, it is still a big discount compared to 60 yen.

"Well, it's not troublesome. After all, we are all acquaintances. In order to repay everyone's support, I have to show a little sincerity. Even if the price is lower than the usual price and I lose some money, it can be regarded as repaying the customers who support me."

Fujino followed the routine words of some family members, and said in a very polite and reluctant way, and took out the mobile POS machine from his pocket: "If you have a bank card, you can pay directly now. , we support mobile payment here... As for the deposit, it is one-tenth of the list price, which is [-] yen."

"Then trouble you."

Hattori Shizuka took out his bank card and swiped it, feeling a little strange.

The money is gone now?
It should be said that the speed is too fast. I directly accepted the entrustment and signed the contract without saying a few words when I walked in... I have to say that the efficiency is a bit high.

But at the same time, a wave of thoughts came to her mind.

An acquaintance... I wonder if a son counts?
After thinking about it, she felt a little sorry for Fujino.

After all, the other person is still a child similar to his own son.

Cheating an underage high school detective in exchange for a discount or something.

I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

"Well, I will find Mr. Shibata as soon as possible."

Fujino straightened up, his expression and aura improved at the same time, and he acted extremely professional.

[-]% off for acquaintances.

Raise the price before making an offer, and then discount it.

Not only do you make money, but you also make your family feel like they have earned something.

In short, win-win, win-win.

"However, I actually have a merciless request."

Hattori Shizuka suddenly said: "If possible, I would like to trouble the Mori detective who lives across the street to participate in this commission."

In her impression, every time her son came out, there would be the 'sleeping famous detective' Moori Kogoro.

The last time I went to Kansai, I invited the other party, but the other party didn't come.

She suspected that her son was being exploited crazily by the senior detectives and being bullied by slightly older, younger and better detectives.

But after some exploration, she believed that there shouldn't be much problem with Fujino.

After all, how could a young man who was so polite, so well-behaved, and even praised her beauty and called her 'Miss' such a bad person.

"Two detectives investigating together?"

Fujino frowned slightly, hesitating about this request.

One client, two detectives.

Where are you putting the matryoshka dolls?
But it feels a bit familiar...

Why does it feel like there were two clients and one detective back then?

Fujino was slightly startled.

Although it's nice to eat a double portion by yourself, it wouldn't be so nice if it's your turn.

If the same commission fee is divided between two detectives, the amount will definitely shrink.

"I've long heard that you two have a good relationship."

Hattori Shizuka also noticed his request, which seemed to cause discomfort to the other party: "I think if two detectives investigate together, it will definitely be much faster to find someone. Of course, I will definitely pay the commission fee as usual. "

"Well, since the customer has requested it, I will take you to see Brother Maori."

With that said, Fujino stood up and walked to the bathroom: "But before I go, I still have to make a call and ask my brother if he wants to accept the commission. After all, he is very busy."

Hattori Jinghua said he didn't care: "It doesn't matter." "Then please ask Miss Chihao to wait a moment."

Fujino turned and walked to the bathroom, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and dialed Mouri Kogoro's mobile phone number.

The amount of his commission is still a bit high. If Brother Maori offers a price lower than his discount, wouldn't it be a slap in his face?
"Ah, brother Fujino, what's the matter?"

The voice of Kogoro Mouri on the other end of the phone was a little noisy in the background, and he was probably watching a football match.

"Brother, I received a commission here, but after the commission was completed, the client named me and wanted you to investigate with him."

"Should I investigate too?"

Mouri Kogoro was also stunned: "It's a bit suspicious to entrust two detectives at once..."

"It's just a commission to find someone. The other party is a middle-aged woman who wants to find a classmate from more than 30 years ago."

Speaking of this, Fujino's tone dropped slightly, and he whispered: "The quotation I gave is 60 yen..."

"Six... 60 million?!"

Mouri Kogoro was obviously shocked by the commission price: "Just looking for someone, 60 is too outrageous."

"So I made a slight discount and asked for 50."

Fujino said calmly: "The other party agreed."

"oh oh!"

Mouri Kogoro immediately understood when he heard this, and the smile in his tone could not be concealed: "Then thank you, Brother Fujino!"

"Well, I'll take someone there right now. She has a photo and the person's name in her hand. It should be easy to find it."

"Okay! I'll get ready."

…………

Maori Detective Agency.

"Ding dong!"

Fujino rang the doorbell: "Brother Maori, we're in!"

"Please come in!"

It was Xiaolan's voice that answered.

Fujino heard the sound and opened the door, and what he saw was Xiaolan holding a dust bag and wearing a pink knitted top and light blue shorts.

Judging from the appearance, it should be cleaning during the weekend.

Conan stood next to her, wearing a blue suit and shorts.

Fujino didn't understand why this kid still wore formal clothes at home.

Could it be that all the alimony was spent by Uncle Maori betting on horse racing, and there are no other clothes to wear?
"Where's Uncle Mauri?"

Fujino walked into the detective agency office, followed by Shizuka Hattori, and greeted Xiaoran with a shallow bow.

"Dad is in the bathroom now."

Xiaolan replied to Fujino and bowed slightly in return, then looked at Shizuka Hattori: "You should be the client, please wait a moment!"

"What a beauty!"

Conan's eyesight was also very good. He glanced at Shizuka Hattori and sighed secretly in his heart.

"Cough cough..."

Hattori Shizuka felt a little uncomfortable and coughed twice.

She glanced at the surrounding detective offices and observed silently.

In a small office, there is a black TV on the desk, a brown leather sofa next to it, and a light brown wooden coffee table. Documents are also scattered on the filing cabinet next to it.

There was also a strong smell of smoke... and dust in the air.

Different from the detective agency she had just seen, the environment here was in line with her stereotype of detectives.

It should be said that detective agency offices as 'spectacular' as Fujino's are relatively rare.

"Have you come yet?!"

At this time, Mouri Kogoro came out of the bathroom, wearing a dark blue suit.

He didn't go to do anything else just now, but to shave...

After all, he is the recommended client, so it would be bad if he looked slovenly.

But when he looked at Hattori Shizuka sitting on the sofa, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.

"She is a beauty!"

Well, just like that boy from Conan.

After reacting, Uncle Maori looked a little regretful.

Why didn't Brother Fujino tell me earlier that the person he brought here was a beauty...

If I had known earlier, he would have dressed up carefully.

"Cough hum!"

Mouri Kogoro coughed lightly, walked forward and said in a calm tone: "Brother Fujino, is this your client?"

"Are you the sleeping Kogoro Mori?"

Hattori Jinghua stood up after hearing this: "My surname is Ikeha, Detective Fujino should have told me about me."

"That's right, I'm Kogoro Moori!"

Uncle Maori walked to the sofa and sat down, pretending to be a calm uncle: "I have indeed heard from Brother Fujino about your matter, but the specific details still need to be confirmed again."

Xiaolan: "..."

Conan: "..."

This guy, it's started again!

Fujino also flickered his eyes and looked at Mouri Kogoro.

It feels like Brother Maori is making a big mistake again.

…………

"So we are looking for this person named Shibata Shiro."

Mouri Kogoro sat on the sofa, looked at the photo on the coffee table and murmured: "Then the girl next to the photo should be Miss Ikeha... The change is really big."

Conan also leaned over curiously, looking at the photo on the left and Shizuka Hattori on the right.

I also secretly lament that time makes people grow old.

Shizuka Hattori said: "After all, these are old photos from 30 years ago."

"30 years ago?"

Mouri Kogoro was stunned: "Then aren't you now..."

"Yes, I am 42 years old this year."

Hattori Shizuka said with emotion: "This photo was taken when I was in the second grade of middle school. Detective Fujino also said just now that it is really difficult to use this photo as a reference, but I only have this photo on hand. Take a photo."

"Are you 42 already?"

Fujino sat aside and thought: "I thought Miss Chihao was only in her early thirties."

"No...only in his early thirties or something, that's too exaggerated."

Shizuka Hattori was a little embarrassed, but her impression of Fujino was much better.

It is indeed the same as what the person in my family said. He is indeed young and promising, and can be called an outstanding young man.

He is much better behaved than the cheap son who usually calls himself 'Obasan'.

"What are your hobbies?"

At this time, Kogoro Mouri suddenly asked, and Shizuka Hattori, who did not react, replied casually: "As for his hobbies, it should be related to kendo. After all, his kendo level was pretty good at the time."

"no."

Mouri Kogoro looked serious: "I'm talking about you..."

Hattori Shizuka: "Huh?"

Obviously, she has not kept up with Mouri Kogoro.

Although she wanted to interrupt the strange uncle's conversation, but thinking that she still had to investigate whether the two detectives in front of her had bullied her son, Shizuka Hattori said helplessly: "Normally, I prefer to fight. Wearing a sweater or something like that..."

"So that's it. It's really a good interest."

Mouri Kogoro said: "Miss Chiha must be a very virtuous person."

"I think Fujino-senpai is right."

Xiaolan put three cups of hot tea on the coffee table, interrupted Moori Kogoro, brought the topic back to Fujino, and echoed: "Miss Ikeha, your skin is well taken care of, and you can't even tell that it has changed. My mother is almost the same age.”

At the same time, she glanced at Mouri Kogoro, and a deep feeling of resentment gradually appeared on her face, as if to say:
Strike up a conversation with a beautiful woman and get spanked, you know?
