The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 769 Fujino: Am I a substitute?

"Sure enough, I took the bait."

Fujino's eyes flashed with a gleam of intelligence. He was not surprised by the man's answer and murmured to himself in his heart.

Before coming, he had already investigated this guy thoroughly based on the information from Mr. Terai.

The man in front of him is the owner of this billiard hall and part-time gang leader - Hitoshi Tsuchida.

Hitoshi Tsuchida is a Japanese-American. His mother was a postwar comfort woman and his father was a U.S. soldier stationed in Japan. He returned to the United States before he was born. Growing up in such an environment, Tsuchida successfully started his legendary life like all the ruthless people in Tongliao.

As the child of a comfort woman after the war, he was physically looked after by his classmates since childhood during the nuclear era. He failed in junior high school and joined the underworld with a cultural level similar to that of "burning books and burying scholars", and became a gangster who looked after the place.

Under the influence of day and night, he naturally became a big gambler. In the end, he lost everything, not even his pants, and was thrown into prison.

Tutian, who had studied in prison for two and a half years, gained enlightenment like all the ruthless men in Tongliao. After he was released from prison, he used the gambling skills he had learned in prison to successfully make his first pot of gold in life. He opened a billiard bar called Miguo, and later established the Miguo Gang.

During the economic boom, the American gang thrived in Tokyo, opening shops openly and reselling drugs secretly. Later, because of their identities as descendants of American soldiers, they got in touch with the US military stationed in Japan and successfully took over the arms smuggling business.

This kind of gambler is the easiest to play with in Fujino's opinion.

As long as you make a good layout in advance and act according to the plan, this kind of thing will be easily ruined.

Of course, changing the image is also part of the plan.

He is different now. Just by looking at his black hair and black eyes, he will probably be recognized before he takes any action.

Although he can kill a group of people by himself, sometimes being a detective is not about fighting and killing, but about weighing the pros and cons of human relationships...

"Inspector Megure..."

In the crowd not far away, Miwako Sato looked at Higgins who was raising the price over there, and asked in a puzzled voice: "That person should be Fujino, right?"

"probably?"

Megure Jusan nodded hesitantly: "Although Brother Fujino said before that he would disguise himself, he didn't say what kind of disguise he would use... It's hard to say."

After thinking for a while, he continued, "But I feel that the one in the light blue suit is more like him."

Hearing this, Sato Miwako looked at the young man in the light blue suit, Kuroba Kaito who was standing next to Terai Huang Zhisuke: "So, I think he does look alike."

Especially the sentence like "just practice more on the dish" is simply the essence.

Fujino: "..."

It’s broken, I’m a substitute!

"It's been a long time, Terai."

Renra Tojiro did not disturb his boss, but instead, carrying his cue, came to his old acquaintance Terai Huang Zhisuke and greeted him: "This Mr. Typhoon Higgins, is he a billiards expert?"

"I do not know either."

Terai Huang Zhisuke looked helpless: "I only know that he is a friend of our young master."

"Is this so..."

Renra Tojiro wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a voice: "I think Mr. Renra, you are using a private golf club, right?"

Lian Luo looked over when he heard the sound and saw Higgins Teng, a man with yellow hair, and his boss walking towards them.

It seems that the price for betting on the football has been agreed upon.

He nodded and replied, "This is indeed a custom-made golf club."

"If I were playing golf, I would be using a normal golf club, right?"

Fujino showed a helpless expression: "As an expert, you should also know how important a club is to a golfer's feel, so I can also use my own club, right?"

"No problem at all……"

"has a problem."

Before Renra Tojiro could finish his words, Tsuchida Hitoshi interrupted him and asked, "Does anyone know if you used any cheating methods with your golf club?"

"It's just an ordinary club."

Fujino pulled out a black golf club from his suit and waved it in front of him. "I don't want to tamper with the club just because I can't beat someone."

"Go check his clubs."

Tsuchida gave an instruction to Renra, who took Fujino's club, checked it carefully, and nodded: "The club is fine, it's a good club, there's nothing wrong with it."

Fujino took back the club, took a look at the silver dragon on it, and said nothing more. If there were a time traveler here, he would definitely be able to tell the difference of this club at a glance.

After all, this is the Dragon Slayer Q from Taiwan's Air Ball!

[Dragon Slayer Q: A black golf club with a white dragon engraved on it. Together with Yitian Q, it is called Yitian Dragon Slayer Q. It is an extremely powerful golf club. When the host uses it, it will greatly enhance his golf skills and ball sense. ]

Dragon Slayer Q was drawn by Fujino after 100 consecutive draws.

He originally thought it was useless.

But today, it came in handy.

…………

The rules of the game are the nine-ball rules, which means hitting in the order of 1-9.

Whoever scores the nine ball wins, regardless of the order. It can be said to be a very simple rule.

The rules are simple and quick, and the game is over in ten games.

Fujino lost everything as planned.

Of course, with his billiards skills, it is impossible for him to lose.

He kept losing mainly to show his gambler's character and then arouse the opponent's desire.

In general, their plan is to use the gambler's psychology to lure the other party into the trap.

For gamblers, winning all the time means being able to continue winning.

Especially this kind of winning streak, or even a sure win, for a gambler, it is like a drug addict meeting drugs, and he has no resistance at all.

As the price gets higher and higher, you lose more and more, and the other party will definitely take the bait.

Not only would he be able to make a fortune then, but the other party might even become desperate and surround him, giving him a reason to search the billiard hall.

Unaware that he had been tricked, Tsuchida Hitoshi started to feel elated as he watched the money continue to flow in. He looked at Fujino with a smile and said, "Mr. Higgins, you have already lost ten games. Are you sure you want to continue playing?"

"Forget it, I don't have any money anymore!"

Fujino took a deep breath, with a look of regret on his face: "I admit that Mr. Lian Luo is more skilled..."

"Wait, Mr. Higgins!"

Kuroba Kaito interrupted him directly: "Keep competing, you're only just a little bit short each time, you'll definitely win next time!"

"is it?"

Tsuchida Hitoshi frowned: "Are you sure you want to continue the competition?"

"Of course!"

Kuroba Kaito nodded: "Not only will I continue, I will also raise the stakes. I will bet one million per round!"

"No, Master Kaito!"

Terai Huang Zhisuke couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly pulled him: "If we lose this time..."

Kuroba Kaito pulled Terai away and said, "Leave this to Mr. Higgins. We'll pay. We'll definitely win this time!"

"Master Kaito!"

"Don't say anything more, just bet one million!"

A few more games passed, and the losing streak continued.

Tsuchida Hitoshi held a cigar in his mouth, his eyes flashing with greed: "This round is also won by Tongjiro... You already owe us 5 million, do you want to continue?"

"Of course you have to continue!"

Kuroba Kaito frowned, his eyes red as he shouted, "Keep raising the stakes, 10 million each time!"

"Can not be done!"

Terai Huang Zhisuke ran over again at this time, and he grabbed Kuroba Kaito this time, as if he wanted to "threaten to death". "Master, you can't continue gambling. If you gamble again, I can't afford the compensation even if I sell my shop!"

"I believe Mr. Higgins!"

Kuroba Kaito crossed his arms over his chest, revealing a clear and wise look: "If you are out of money, why don't you just sell your Blue Parrot Billiard Hall, old man?"
