Conan's Unscientific Detective

…………

The two came to the underground parking lot.

Sato Miwako's face showed a hint of anger, but more of it was helplessness: "Last night, you asked us to catch the murderer... but you changed your mind today."

"Everyone has a weak spot, and once it is grasped, there is no way out of one's control."

Fujino put his hands in his pockets: "If I were in his position, I would definitely make the same choice. After all, people don't live for themselves. There is always more to consider when living in this world."

"Using family members to threaten witnesses?"

Upon hearing this, Sato Miwako murmured something and her face darkened.

Family is indeed a weak spot that cannot be avoided.

If it were her, others would use her mother as a threat.

She would probably make the same choice.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Fujino also shook his head helplessly: "No need to threaten, just say that you have to think about your family too."

"Jingle Bell!"

At this time, the phone rang.

Sato Miwako answered the phone, her expression immediately became even gloomier, she gritted her teeth and cursed in a low voice: "How abominable!"

"what happened?"

"Mr. Kataoka has also changed his statement."

Sato Miwako put away the phone with a gloomy face: "He said he had never seen Utada Ryuichi come to his store."

"Isn't this normal?"

"But……"

Miwako Sato knocked on the roof of the Ford Taurus next to her: "This way, there is no witness. That guy has completely exposed himself."

"..."

Fujino glanced at her and could understand why she was angry.

I got used to everything going smoothly, but one day I found out that the thing I had been protecting was just someone else's plaything...

That feeling of powerlessness and at a loss as to what to do, in the end, I could only feel helpless and angry.

The more righteous you are in your heart, the more aggrieved you feel.

Speaking of which, these kinds of things are common in any world, and even make him feel like he has returned to his previous life.

After all, the world of science is too fairy-tale-like. Detectives solve cases and the police arrest people. As long as they have evidence, criminals can be brought to justice, regardless of their identities.

Actually, that's not the case. If you think about it carefully, among the people Conan has dealt with, not many are capable of interfering with the Warning Department.

The murderer is the son of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and has connections in the National Police Agency.

In the world of science, this is already a top-level murderer.

Just as Fujino was thinking in his heart, the ringing of the phone suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

He took out his phone and looked at the note: [Matsumoto Kiyonaga]

Fujino thought for a moment and answered the phone: "Manager Matsumoto, what can I do for you?"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga's voice came from the other end: "You and Sato should be investigating Utada Ryuichi's case right now, right?"

"Yes, it's under investigation. She is with me now. Do you have any instructions?"

"Fujino-kun, please turn on the speakerphone."

Fujino did as he was told, and then Matsumoto Kiyonaga's voice rang out: "I will now take over this case concerning Utada Ryuichi."

"According to the information we have so far, the current Foreign Minister Utada is suspected of hiring a killer and other crimes. Now the people in the Investigation Section will fully investigate this case."

"At the same time, the foreign minister's son, Utada Ryuichi, has also been involved. Sato Miwako has been appointed to take full command of Utada Ryuichi's hit-and-run case, and advisor Fujino Doji will provide guidance on this case."

As Matsumoto Kiyonaga finished his words, the car fell into silence.

Seeing that the two did not respond, Matsumoto Kiyonaga said, "Don't worry about anything. Just get to the bottom of this case. If you need anything, just ask for support."

"understand!"

Sato Miwako came to her senses and immediately responded.

Fujino next to him was a little surprised at this moment.

It’s not that I didn’t expect to be able to resume the normal investigation, but I didn’t expect it to be so outrageous.

If you use your toes to guess the situation now, you will know that it was the rich woman who took action.

But as soon as he did it, he accused the current foreign minister of hiring a killer, and seemed to be trying to get him out of office...

Is this what it feels like to be a relative? !

In one word, cool!

This feeling even made Fujino feel like he was holding the emperor's sword, beheading the tyrants and treacherous ministers.

But on second thought, he felt that the influence of the rich woman was a little too outrageous.

Behead the tyrant emperor and the treacherous ministers.

Isn't this what the emperor should do?

Can this little rich woman still be a princess?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 798 You won't sell yourself out, will you? !

Of course, the princess is just a metaphor.

After all, the Neon Emperor's identity is public, and he has no actual power at all. Now he is just a mascot.

The princess he was referring to was the one who now held the lifeline of Neon’s family.

If that's the case, then a helicopter, or any private jet for that matter, wouldn't be a big deal.

"But why is there no one to stop such a person when he is with me?"

"Normally, shouldn't some family elder come out at this time and give me hundreds of millions to ask me to leave her?"

"Or maybe someone suddenly shows up claiming to be the fiancée for a family marriage, and then they start a drama of things going from bad to worse..."

As Fujino was thinking, he suddenly felt his head was a little empty.

It feels like my brain is growing.

Retracting his thoughts, he couldn't help but sigh: "This time I owe the little rich woman a big favor..."

As far as he could remember, the highest-ranking people Conan had ever dealt with were Mayor Nishitama and a diplomat.

Not to mention the diplomat's family conflicts, the mayor doesn't look that smart either.

He actually used his own son to take the blame, and in the end he had no choice but to step down and go to jail.

按照他前世看过的一篇文章统计，如果柯南处理过的受害者与犯人分为等级1-10，柯南处理过最多的也就是3-10级，凶手是1-2级这种能够掌握霓虹国家方向命脉的基本没有处理过。

By the way, Fujino's class is probably around 4-5, he is a middle-class person who is famous in an industry and has a small business of his own.

According to the level classification, he is now dealing with a level 1 murderer.

Under normal circumstances, this would be unsolvable no matter who is in charge.

To quote someone: Is there still justice? Is there still law?

For the unequal party, it is probably gone.

What's more, the victim was just a poor boy.

This is the ugly Japanese society. When the social hierarchy reaches a certain level, one's influence can even affect the social rules and use the rules to gain rights for oneself.

Although he already had a plan to deal with such a person.

But without the little rich woman, it would probably be more troublesome.

…………

Miwako Sato didn't react at all to the sudden order.

Clearly, their superiors had previously prevented them from investigating.

Why are they suddenly going to raid the other party's house?

Something is wrong, this is very wrong!

Could it be the text message just now?

Sato Miwako thought about this, and with a strange look on her face, she asked Fujino, "Who did you send the text message to? You even managed to overthrow the Minister of Foreign Affairs?"

"She's just a little rich woman."

"Just a rich woman?"

"How can it be false?"

Fujino had a very serious expression on his face: "I just said hello, and if she wanted to help, she just did it for me."

Sato Miwako: "..."

Just do it, rich woman?

Are you sure you can do it by just asking the Foreign Minister?

Sato Miwako showed an expression of disbelief and looked at him suspiciously: "So, you are not selling yourself?"

Fujino: "..."

What kind of dirty idea is this?

Who am I?

But selling myself... counts as well, right...?

After all, he is a gigolo this time.

Fujino was helpless for a moment, rolled his eyes and said: "You fierce woman, believe it or not, anyway, we can investigate the case now, do you want to investigate it?"

"check."

Sato Miwako responded somewhat helplessly, feeling that her guess was probably correct.

This kid must have paid some unspeakable price.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept it to himself. He must have been afraid that she would worry...

Miwako Sato suddenly imagined this scene in her mind:

A big sister in a black kimono, holding a whip in one hand and a steel wool in the other, walked slowly in high heels towards the pitiful boy who was tied up with red ropes and hung in the air, trembling with fear all over his body...

Thinking of this, she shuddered and didn't dare to think about it any further.

Taking a deep breath, she calmed her thoughts and asked Fujino, "What should we do now? Do we need support?"

"unnecessary."

Fujino raised a meaningful smile and said, "Now let's go to Mr. Kataoka's shop and have a good chat with him."

"..."

Miwako Sato groaned after hearing this and said, "Do you want to go over and beat that guy up so that he can give the real testimony?"

"what are you thinking?"

Fujino glanced at her with disdain: "I mean, go over and talk to him about that Utada Ryuichi... After all, don't we still have a witness?"

Sato was stunned when he heard this, and said hesitantly: "You mean... you?"

Fujino shook his head slightly: "Yes and no."

Sato Miwako didn't understand what Fujino meant. She asked again in confusion: "Then what about Kataoka's store?"

"If we want them to notice us, we have to let them know that we are investigating the case."
