Conan's Unscientific Detective

She knew Mari Terahara, who was the manager of the band she was currently in.

Although she always seems to care about Tatsuya Kimura on weekdays, Tatsuya Kimura does not appreciate it.

He also often makes sarcastic remarks to her, and it doesn't seem like he likes her at all!

"Do you know Kimura Tatsuya well?"

Fujino looked at Shibazaki Mieko's look of disbelief, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and chuckled.

"Of course!"

Shibazaki Mieko raised her head proudly.

Although her understanding of Kimura Tatsuya is not to the extent of knowing even a few of his armpit hairs, she still knows him inside and out.

Otherwise, she wouldn't confess so easily.

然后被拒绝。

"Then you should also know that before joining your company's band, Kimura Tatsuya also performed in an underground band, right?"

"I do know about this."

Hearing this, Shibazaki Mieko nodded, "Tatsuya told us about this before."

"But what does this have to do with who he likes?"

"Of course it does."

As he spoke, Fujino leaned forward slightly and placed a document on the coffee table.

Shibazaki Mieko looked at the report on the coffee table and couldn't help wondering, "What is this?"

Fujino explained: "These are all the information I have investigated in the past few days. Various evidences show that the person Kimura Tatsuya likes is definitely Terahara Mari."

Shibazaki Mieko tightly grasped the investigation report in her hand, her heart tightening: "But Tatsuya always looks down on Mari..."

Fujino chuckled and asked meaningfully: "As someone close to Kimura Tatsuya, don't you know his character?"

"Tatsuya's personality..."

Mieko bit her lip lightly. "Tatsuya's words gave me the impression that he was cheerful, optimistic, and a little bit dishonest... Could it be?!"

She stopped talking halfway through her sentence, with a look of surprise on her face.

"Yes."

Fujino nodded and placed two photos on the coffee table. "This is a photo of him and Mari Terahara when they were in the band."

"This is really Mari, it doesn't look like it..."

Mieko Shibazaki looked at the man and woman in the photo with great confusion.

There is no doubt that the man in the photo is Tatsuya Kimura.

But who is that woman?

How come she has no impression?

Seeing her puzzled look, Fujino confirmed, "That person is indeed Mari Terahara."

"You said she was Mari?"

Shibazaki Mieko looked at the woman with freckles on her face in the photo and exclaimed in surprise, "This change is too big."

"The reason why her appearance changed so much is because she had plastic surgery..."

Fujino nodded and continued, "In fact, Kimura Tatsuya and Terahara Mari have known each other for a long time."

"At that time, Kimura Tatsuya and Terahara Mari were in the same underground band. They went through a lot of things. Later, the band disbanded and he was signed by your company. At the same time, he also asked to take Terahara Mari with him."

Shibazaki Mieko nodded and continued to ask: "But since the two of them knew each other before, why does Tatsuya dislike her so much now?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it might be because of plastic surgery."

As he spoke, Fujino pointed to the photo on the coffee table: "The lyrics written by Kimura Tatsuya on the back of the band photo, "I want to convey it to you without makeup", are the best evidence. If I'm not mistaken, these lyrics should be written for Terahara Mari after her plastic surgery."

As he spoke, he also read out the lyrics: "Even though your appearance has changed so much, I still like the you of the past..."

"I think those words he said to you were not just words to get rid of you, but he was really waiting for the former Terahara Mari without makeup to come back."

"So that's how it is..."

"In other words, the reason why he rejected me is because there is no room for anyone else in his heart?"

As she spoke, Shibazaki Mieko couldn't help but be distracted, with a slight blush appearing at the corners of her eyes.

"Based on the survey results, this is the case."

Fujino nodded silently, took out two tissues and handed them to Shibazaki Mieko, "In fact, the result has been determined from the moment the investigation of this commission began. Whether it is Koizumi Yumi or anyone else, it is the same for you."

"I know, I know, but...but I just can't let it go..."

Looking at the sobbing Mieko Shibazaki, Fujino sighed.

As expected, he really didn't understand the world of love-brained people.

Just like that, the girl's sobbing sound rang out on the second floor of the Fujino family's house.

After a moment, she calmed down, bowed to Fujino, and thanked him: "Detective Fujino, thank you for helping me find out who Tatsuya likes."

"No need to be like this, I'm just completing the client's commission."

Fujino chuckled, then rubbed his hands and said awkwardly, "But speaking of which, when will the remaining 450,000 yuan of the commission be paid?"

As he spoke, he took out a POS machine and said, "This time, you can pay with a bank card."

I'm a little stuck, I just finished writing it now

Chapter 51 An unexpected investigation request

[Shocked! Well-known writer Chikako Ikeda is actually the "executioner", the unspeakable secret behind the popular movie Blue Kingdom! ]

The next morning, Fujino sat on the sofa, looking at the newspaper in his hand speechlessly.

Needless to say, he knew who came up with this reporting method, which was far ahead of contemporary ones.

It must be Goto. Apart from him, Fujino really couldn't think of anyone else who could write such a title.

"But that company has invested a lot of money, and they acted so quickly."

Although Fujino was well aware of the power of large companies, he still couldn't help but sigh from the perspective of an ordinary person.

On the day the news was received, the newspaper had already begun using public opinion to hedge against the public relations of the company behind the Blue Kingdom.

However, it is obvious that with Goto as a powerful general, the group behind the newspaper has already gained an absolute advantage in the public relations competition between the two sides.

The rumor that Ikeda Chikako was a shameless plagiarist had spread based on just one report by Goto.

What Fujino has to do next is to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the tigers.

As for what will be the final fate of Tomokako Ikeda.

He didn't know either.

It all depends on how quickly those companies abandon her as an abandoned child and how thoroughly they cut off the ties between them.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting Fujino's thoughts.

Fujino was stunned when he heard the voice.

Is there another commission?

Thinking of this, he quickly got up, walked through the bedroom and came to the door.

When I opened the door, what came into view was an old man in a suit with a "ferocious" look.

Fujino invited the old man to the reception room, and after some understanding, he learned the story from him.

The old man's name is Marudenjiro, and he is now the president of the Maru Group.

He came to Fujino this time for no other reason than to find evidence that his 30-year-old wife was having an affair with someone else.

Marudenjiro is already in his fifties or sixties this year, and his health is definitely not up to par.

Just recently, he discovered that his wife often went out and always looked guilty when she came back.

After accidentally hearing some rumors, he suddenly felt a green light blooming above his head. With doubts in his heart, he found Fujino.

He hopes Fujino can find out whether his wife is having an affair with someone else.

"Mr. Maruden, I have almost understood your request."

Fujino sat on the sofa in the detective agency and nodded at Marudenjiro sitting opposite him.

After a pause, he showed a look of embarrassment on his face: "But this matter is a bit troublesome to handle. As a professional detective, if this kind of investigation gets out... I will be criticized."

"A detective is so picky when accepting commissions?"

Marudenjiro frowned, coughed lightly, and continued: "If you are willing to accept this commission and find evidence of that bitch's secret meeting with others, I am willing to pay one million yen!"

One million yen?

Fujino pricked up his ears when he heard that.

Originally, Fujino didn't want to get involved in such messy things.

But the offer was too much and he simply couldn't refuse!

"Since you are so sincere, Boss Maruden, I naturally cannot refuse."

After a moment, he took out a POS machine and showed a professional fake smile: "But before that, please pay a deposit of 500,000 yen first."

"Humph."

Looking at the detective in front of him whose expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book, Marudenjiro couldn't help but snort coldly.

What is the detective's bottom line? Under the temptation of money, he still took the job obediently.

……

[Detective Career Mission: Antique Collector Murder Case

Mission Objective: Solve the antique collector case by any means

Mission location: Marudenjiro's house

Mission Reward: 500,000 yen, 50 detective reputation points]

"An antique collector's murder case?"

After seeing off the local rich man, Fujino stood in front of the balcony, looking at the system tasks on the screen, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He remembered this case.

The boss of the Maruden Group, Maruden Jiro, is actually a black money lender behind the scenes.

He would often ask people who came to him to borrow money to mortgage their valuables and sell them.

The reason why he was killed this time was because he sold the ancestral sword of a kendo master named Suwa Yuji.

…………

In the evening, on the way home.

"This Madam Maruden is very cautious in her actions."

Fujino was driving a Ford Taurus, murmured as he recalled the various signs he had observed while investigating the lady during the day.

After a day of investigation, he did not find any evidence that the lady had a secret meeting with someone else.

This was within his expectations.

Generally speaking, people who have secret meetings with others do not often meet with their lovers. They will only go out to try it out after a few days to dispel their suspicions.

As for how he knew.

All I can say is that the original owner had accepted many such commissions to investigate private meetings with others.

To investigate and have a secret meeting with others, you must be skilled.

"It seems that this investigation into a private meeting with someone else will last for several days."
