Conan's Unscientific Detective

I have to find a way to make her life worse than death...

The riot brought the relaxed atmosphere of the villa in the forest to a freezing point.

After dinner, Ota and Jiaogu went upstairs to visit Takahashi Ryoichi. After all, what had happened, they couldn't leave Takahashi alone in the room.

What if he wants to continue killing people?

Ran, Sonoko and Conan went to Ikeda Tomokako's room and watched over her to prevent her from doing anything extreme.

Fujino and Ayako were the only ones left in the kitchen.

"I'm so sorry, Fujino-kun, you just went through that kind of thing, and I still have to bother you to come and help clean up the dishes."

"nothing."

Fujino handed a plate to Ayako and chuckled, "Speaking of helping, I am the one who has it the easiest."

"Really? It's a rare opportunity to invite old friends who I haven't seen for a long time to have a gathering...but this happened."

Ayako, who was standing in front of the sink cleaning the dishes, had a dejected look on her face. "It's all my fault. I wish I hadn't held this party."

Fujino chuckled and said to her in a comforting tone: "It's not your fault. If anyone is to blame, it's Ikeda Chikako."

As he spoke, his tone gradually deepened: "From the day she plagiarized Dunzi and caused Dunzi to commit suicide, the flame of revenge has been passed on."

"Even if Takahashi didn't commit the crime here, he would have killed Ikeda Chikako sooner or later, but fortunately he attacked me beforehand, so the tragedy didn't happen."

"I really didn't expect Chikako to be that kind of person..."

Suzuki Ayako nodded when she heard this. Although she still felt a little guilty, her mood was obviously much better.

"If it weren't for you, an irreversible tragedy might have happened today."

She turned around and bowed sincerely to Fujino, "Thank you very much, Fujino-kun."

"Don't say that."

Fujino waved his hand and said awkwardly: "I just did what a detective should do."

"Is that what a detective should do?"

Hearing this, Ayako raised her head and looked at Fujino with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

…………

Early the next morning, the group hurriedly left the villa.

After all, after something like that happened, no one would want to stay any longer.

After sending Xiaolan, Yuanzi and Conan back home, Fujino just returned home and heard the system prompt sound in his ears:

[Congratulations to the host for completing the Bandage Monster mission, gaining 50 detective reputation points and a bounty of 500,000 yen]

[Current system balance: 1.1 million yen]

[Current host detective occupation upgrade required reputation: 200 reputation points]

"That woman Ikeda Chikako really deserves to die..."

Fujino murmured, feeling somewhat regretful in his heart.

If it weren't for his status, he would have to go up and stab the guy twice.

He sighed, and without thinking too much, he did ten consecutive draws.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Sleepy Black Tea x2, Azure Kingdom Manuscript x1, Portable Voice Changer (Blue), Limited-Time Ability Enhancement Card (Strength, Perception Enhancement; Limited to one minute) x2...]

"The original manuscript of the Azure Kingdom?"

Staring closely at the thing just pulled out on the system screen, Fujino couldn't help but smile slightly: "It seems that this dog system also can't stand that woman."

Originally, it was just as that woman Chikako Ikeda said.

It is very difficult to determine that she plagiarized without any evidence that the original author is dead.

But now that we have the original manuscript of the Azure Kingdom, everything will be easy.

The Japanese chaebols are not the kind of people who are polite and respectful to each other.

The infighting between businesses continues to take place among the chaebols.

Exposing the scandals of rival companies has long been a common occurrence in business wars.

"Perhaps I can make some money from it?"

Looking at the original manuscript of the Azure Kingdom in front of him, Fujino couldn't help but murmur.

…………

That night, at Beika-cho 1-chome.

A man who looked to be in his thirties walked into the corner alley carrying a briefcase into the night.

The man was wearing a brown suit, a blue tie and black-framed glasses. His name was Goto and he was a reporter for a newspaper.

It's just that he is not a very good reporter. In more than ten years of working in the industry, he has not reported any hot news.

Normally, I can only write eye-catching headlines to attract attention.

Reporters of his time have all become editors-in-chief, but he is still an ordinary reporter.

He had originally planned to continue working in this position until retirement.

But just this afternoon, a phone call came directly to his workstation.

The person on the other end of the phone called himself Good Citizen Batman, and he had access to dirty information about the popular movie Cyan Kingdom.

He didn't believe it at first, until he saw the information at the door of the newspaper office that proved that the other party did have black material...

After the newspaper learned about this, it immediately gave him two million for the transaction.

He also promised that if this matter could be reported, Goto would be promoted to editor-in-chief.

It’s not because of anything else, it’s simply because the parent company of that newspaper and the parent company that produces "Blue Kingdom" are mortal commercial rivals.

Of course, the man who called himself the good citizen of rice flower, Batman, was none other than Fujino.

The last time Goto wrote an article, "Fujino Doji's trip to Tsukikage Island and the secrets that the doctor on the island cannot tell you," left a deep impression on Fujino.

So this time, he naturally found him.

"Did you bring the money?"

Fujino's voice became very deep under the effect of the voice changer, just like Batman.

Hearing the voice, Goto looked at Fujino, and when he saw the Batman mask on Fujino's face, the corner of his mouth twitched.

He originally thought that the other party was just using the alias of Batman...but he didn't expect that the other party would go through the motions and actually put on a Batman mask to come over for the deal.

"Two million yen in cash, all brought."

Goto didn't think too much about it. He took out the bag and showed it to Fujino at an angle. Then he asked, "One hand for the money and the other for the goods."

Fujino also took out the copy of the original manuscript of the Blue Kingdom from the system space and handed it to Goto.

Fujino took the 2 million yen, put it into the system, and nodded with satisfaction.

The system can be said to be the most powerful money detector in the world. Counterfeit banknotes with no value are just blank pieces of paper in the eyes of the system and will not be converted into balances by the system.

"It's a pleasure to work with you..."

Goto took the manuscript and took a look at it. After confirming that it was the Azure Kingdom manuscript, he paused and continued, "Good Citizen Batman."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 47 Portable Space Upgrade

"Two million?"

In the Ford Taurus, Fujino looked at the balance on the system interface [2.2 million] and couldn't help muttering: "It seems that the newspaper company really spent a lot of money."

"No... If it was a newspaper, they wouldn't easily hand over 2 million to buy intelligence."

Fujino thought for a moment, and suddenly raised a meaningful smile, "It seems that the company behind the newspaper has taken action?"

The transaction went smoothly. Money was exchanged for goods, and both parties benefited from it.

The newspaper got the black material and Fujino got the money.

As for whether the company behind the newspaper can bring down Tomokako Ikeda.

Fujino was not worried about this.

As the eldest son of the Fujino family, once a beneficiary of capital, he knew clearly how cruel the war of capital was.

Not to mention that only a little bit of clues were revealed, even if it was fabricated out of thin air, other capitals would not let it go easily.

If there is no evidence, create evidence.

As long as you put the hat on it, even if it's not true, it will be true if more people say it.

Everyone is in a state of panic, and people's words are heartbreaking.

In this era, people mostly get information from the media.

The media belongs to capital.

As for Rice Flower Batman...I can only say that the name doesn't actually have any other meaning.

It was simply a name that Fujino made up on the spot, inspired by the article "Numabuchi Kiichiro was arrested, who is Batman?" in the Kyoto local newspaper.

Of course, Fujino is not Batman biting a lighter wearing a Batman mask, but the Dark Knight wearing a Batman mask and walking in the darkness.

…………

In the early morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Dawn drew back the veil of night, a pale patch of white appeared in the sky, and the outside of the window was covered in silver, a vast expanse of snow, and snowflakes were floating freely like flower buds.

Fujino stood in front of the windowsill, looking out calmly. In his hazy vision, the glass was covered with a layer of mist. Through the mist, it seemed as if white snow was falling outside the window.

As the sky grew brighter, the snow on the ground left a mottled shadow. Fujino raised his head, just enough to hide the sadness in his eyes.

"The timeline of the scientific world is really weird."

Fujino took out his cell phone, looked at the Monday, October 7th on it, and murmured something.

It was still approaching autumn yesterday, but today it started snowing.

This is not scientific, but it is very scientific and reasonable.

Thinking of this, he shook his head, as if he was no longer surprised by all this.

October 7th is the second Monday in October. In Neon, today is the Sports Day, a legal holiday. As a student, he does not need to go to school.

After washing up, Fujino went to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast for himself.

Of course, the so-called breakfast is just a bucket of self-heating rice.

But this time, there was no golden flash, but a plain self-heating rice.

But the system's proficiency in the chef profession has increased.

Fujino opened the system and looked at the chef proficiency on the career interface:

[Chef: Primary (95 points of proficiency required for the next upgrade)]

[Super Chef (Primary: Any food made by the host has a 5% chance of being randomly enhanced)]

Just as other professions can gain proficiency and reputation by doing things within their profession, the chef profession can improve its proficiency by cooking.

As for the chef's proficiency points, it is based on Fujino's observations over the past few days.

Basically, you can get corresponding points by making food of different levels.

Self-heating rice can only increase a little bit of proficiency at a time, while instant noodles can increase two proficiency points.

Fujino has not tried other foods yet.

The reason is simple. It's just because Fujino, a single man, doesn't know how to do it.

"It seems like I have to learn the craft from Xiaolan someday."

Fujino murmured.

In his opinion, among the people he knew, Xiaolan's cooking skills were pretty good. Although they were not up to the level of those in a restaurant, they were still delicious home-cooked dishes.
