The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1161 17-year-old witch, afraid of being sacrificed
Fujino looked at Sato who first looked like he was thinking seriously, and then showed a determined expression. He was speechless:

"So, what on earth are you thinking about?"

"Didn't you say that the criminals trained crows to commit crimes?"

Sato Miwako looked at him with a puzzled look on her face: "Since it was crows that committed the crime, then someone must have trained these crows..."

"I just said maybe, okay?"

Fujino showed his dead eyes and complained: "Is there a possibility that I am using an absurd metaphor to rule out the possibility of homicide, and how come you really believed it?"

"what?"

"It's not you that I would believe it!"

Sato Miwako was stunned for a moment, then she realized that she was overthinking, and her face puffed up.

Fujino: "..."

Why does this shrew feel like she's been fooled by me?
He complained in his mind and glanced at Koizumi Hongzi beside him.

Then he added secretly in his heart: Of course, this does not include the witch lady who can control crows with magic.

Koizumi Hongzi: “?”

What are you looking at me doing?

…………

Miwako Sato wasn't really fooled.

She believed such a statement simply because she thought it was reasonable.

All she could say was that the cases and files she had seen were far more outrageous than what was happening here. In comparison, something as outrageous as training crows to kill people was actually normal.

Her mind immediately automatically associated it with the case files of people being killed with dogs and people being stabbed in the head with piano wire on a roller coaster...

Thinking about it this way, controlling crows to kill people doesn't seem unacceptable.

Plus, Fujino, the 'God of Death', is right here...

Every time this Grim Reaper appears at the crime scene, doesn’t the case progress completely opposite to expectations?

Could this be suicide?

This is definitely murder!
Even if it wasn't suicide, this great god of death would definitely turn it into homicide!

This is what Miwako Sato thought, who was often brutally tortured by the science world, the elementary school students of the Death God, and the high school students of the Death God who were infected with the aura of the Death God.

However, at this moment, she cared more about the two people in front of her than the case.

Seeing Fujino and Koizumi Akako flirting with each other, she suddenly became furious and felt offended!

This boy, why does he have to look at the girl next to him when he is talking to me?

Sato said unhappily, "So, according to you, this case is really just an accident?"

Fujino sensed a hint of anger in her tone and explained, "The place where the deceased was lying was blocked by a refrigerator. There was also a balcony above the refrigerator. It was impossible to hit her head accurately in the dark."

"Also, things like dropping coins, this kind of random event can't be planned in advance, so I think this is an accident."

"Besides, even if someone really trained the crows, can you capture so many crows and torture them one by one to make them tell you who instructed them to do so?"

"Is it really just an accident?"

Sato had a suspicious look on his face.

Fujino touched his chin and thought: "From what I feel, it was an accident. If you think there is any problem, you can investigate."

"Officer Sato, you think too much..." Chiba on the side echoed: "If you ask me, it must be the same as I thought. The crow tripped the flower pot and hit her on the head."

"Is that so?"

Miwako Sato listened to the words of her two colleagues, one tall and thin, the other short and fat, and smacked her lips. She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Could there be any surprises with the appearance of this kid?

There must be three or five suspects, and the clues will eventually lead to a high-ranking official, right?

I feel like Fujino is a bit perfunctory...

Miwako Sato racked her brains, but couldn't think of any other explanation.

In the end, the case was closed unexpectedly with the wicked old lady Jiang Shang being hit to death by a flowerpot.

The apartment residents who had been living around the scene and worried every day about being crushed to death by flower pots and having their garbage spied on and spread out all applauded when they heard the result.

There was no fear and shock on their faces due to the death of their neighbors. Instead, there was a little joy of having had revenge.

This shows how sinister this old lady is.

If it were a certain god of death, he would definitely try every means to send Jin Jing in to improve performance.

After all, whether in terms of justice or morality, compared to the dirty things she has done, killing her is obviously an overreaction.

That is, you can condemn her morally, but you cannot judge her legally.

Fujino also agreed with this view, but did not choose to expose Miss Kanai.

In his impression, this case was similar to what the system described - the old lady was asking for trouble by rummaging through the trash can and piecing together the breakup letters from someone's boyfriend, then she took them to the other person's workplace to show off, tearing open the other person's scars, and finally took the breakup letters away smugly and mocked them.

I can only say that this old guy deserved to die in Mihua for his actions.

In the end, it was Conan who was crazy and nosy. He staked out the place for two or three days and found the lottery ticket used to seduce the old lady and traces of fishing line behind the refrigerator. He solved the case with just a few words.

If Conan hadn't meddled in other people's business, this case might have been closed unexpectedly. Even if Kanai was suspected, he wouldn't have been convicted.

In his memory of the legal knowledge about outlaws, the core of Neon law is the presumption of innocence, that is, unless you can prove that she was the one who killed the person, she is innocent. Witness testimony and evidence must directly point to the murderer to confirm his guilt.

Usually, after the police arrest someone, the people from the prosecutor's office will continue to busy themselves looking for evidence. In this case, even if the person is arrested by the police, the prosecution will file a lawsuit that will eventually come to nothing.

Even if you find a better lawyer, you can be acquitted of murder.

For example, Conan makes a lot of inferences without any evidence, and finally uses procedural justice to make people kneel down and admit their mistakes. In most cases, he can be released by a lawyer like his mother-in-law, Eri Kisaki, through procedural justice.

Even those who are a little stubborn can't be caught.

But after all, this is the world of science, and the progress bar is almost finished and you have no choice but to kneel down and admit your mistake.

…………

"It's already noon..."

At the door of the Metropolitan Police Department, Fujino raised his wrist to glance at his watch, checked the time, and couldn't help but sigh.

Koizumi Hongzi, who had rarely been to a police station in her life, followed behind and asked curiously, "So, does it normally take this long to take a statement?"

"Why do I feel like that female police officer is a bit hostile towards me..."

"What hostility?"

"It's that kind of hostility of women..."

Koizumi Hongzi pursed her chin and said, "Could it be that she likes you and is jealous of you going out on a date with me?"

"No, it must be your imagination."

"illusion?"

"Yes, that's right. It must be an illusion."

Fujino folded his arms across his chest and nodded, speaking with certainty in his expression.

Although that's what he said, Fujino felt that Miss Witch's feeling and guess were not wrong. Sister Sato was indeed targeting you today.

Normally, as a consultant, he could simply skip the record-taking process when encountering a case in Tokyo. Moreover, neither of them was at the scene when the case occurred this time.

In theory, there is no need to take notes.

However, Sato Miwako still dragged them both back and left them in the lounge for half a day. She also took Koizumi Akako alone to take a statement for an hour.

Well, the shrew sister is jealous and there is no way back.

"Is that so?"

Koizumi Hongzi turned around and looked at the Metropolitan Police Department behind her, then looked at the serious Fujino, feeling a little helpless.

Anyway, I haven’t been to the police station many times, so whatever you say is true…

Koizumi Hongzi thought about this in her heart, and recalled the case just now, and asked tentatively: "So, do you need my help to ask those crows?"

"...?"

Fujino silently typed a question mark: "What are you asking about, crow?"

"Those crows that were at the crime scene just now."

"You didn't figure out the case just now either!"

"If I just ask the crows what's going on, the case will be solved. If someone is controlling them, they will definitely tell me!"

"You must want to know, right?"

The witch lady said this, with a tsundere look that said, "If you want to find out the truth, please beg me quickly."

She thought that if she used magic to communicate with the crows and solve the case, she might be able to win their favor.

In this way, the other party will become dependent on you!
In the end, isn't she willing to fall at my feet?

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but let out a sharp witch laugh.

"..." Fujino was silent for a while as he looked at the chuunibyou girl in front of him.

No, it’s just that Sato, that shrew, is a little stupid.

How come you believed this nonsense?

Fujino's mouth twitched silently, and he waved his hand slightly: "That... that's not necessary. The real murderer of the case just now is Miss Kanai who lives upstairs from that old lady."

"what……?"

Koizumi Hongzi was stunned when she heard this, and asked in confusion: "Then why didn't you tell Officer Sato just now?"

Fujino glanced at her and said matter-of-factly: "Because you are one of us."

"Our own people?!" Koizumi Hongzi blushed when she heard that.

She felt that the other party's words were a bit bold.

When did I become yours?!

'Why are you blushing?'

Fujino noticed the change in her expression and complained silently in his heart.

Realizing that the girl seemed to have misunderstood something, he sighed, feeling that girls all loved to imagine things.

Helplessly, he explained, "You are a witch, and I am the same kind. Even if you knew that I let the murderer go, you would definitely not say anything. But if I told that to the lady just now, I think she would give me a good beating."

After hearing this, Koizumi Hongzi thought about it and it seemed to be true.

No matter how you put it, in her opinion, both she and Fujino are descendants of magic.

The worldviews of two people are completely different from those of others.

Naturally, there are many things that can be accepted.

However, she still had a trace of doubt in her heart, and asked Fujino: "But then again, why did you let her go?"

"Well...of course it's because Kanai is pretty."

Fujino chuckled at first, then said righteously: "I saw that Miss Kanai was so cute, I knew at first glance that she was innocent."

"what?"

"You're attracted to her?!"

"What do you mean by taking a fancy to her? I just don't want to catch her."

Koizumi Hongzi's face froze and her expression became strange, full of confusion, surprise, and... jealousy?
Why was she chosen at first sight, and why did I, the witch who charmed the whole world, have to be tricked like crazy? !

This is not fair!

It was obviously me who came first!
Fujino looked at the chuunibyou girl in front of him, complaining in his heart that she seemed to be sick again, with dead eyes, and explained the ins and outs of Jinjing killing Jiang Shang:
"That's probably what happened, so I think it doesn't make sense to arrest her or not. Besides, I don't want to arrest her. After all, that old lady is really a bit wicked and has bad intentions. It's not an exaggeration to call her a born bad seed."

"If I were a high school detective who had become obsessed with solving cases, I would definitely find a way to send her to jail to improve my performance. I wouldn't even need any evidence, I could make her turn herself in and kneel down to admit her fault."

Fujino shook his head slightly: "But, this old lady was hit on the head by a flower pot, which was more or less her own fault, so I just turned a blind eye and let her go. Anyway, the police haven't found any evidence, so why should I rush in to get involved?"

As he said this, he spread his hands helplessly: "I can only say respect the fate of others."

After hearing the whole story, Koizumi Hongzi couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

She originally thought that Fujino didn't understand what was going on in the case.

I didn't expect this guy to be in the atmosphere...

Thinking about the actions of the old lady Jiang Shangchenzhi, she also felt a little red, and the sense of loss in her heart turned into indignation. She nodded and said, "Well, you are right. It is not good to interfere with other people's karma... This matter is indeed the old woman's own fault!"

"Not only was the letter the trigger, but if she had listened to the advice and put the flowerpot away, she wouldn't have been crushed to death by it..."

"She really deserved to be killed by her own flower pot!"

But as she was talking, she suddenly paid attention to the main point and asked Fujino: "But by the way, how did you know about this?"

"intuition……"

"intuition?"

“Because I know, I know.”

"..."

The two came out of the Metropolitan Police Department and planned to continue following Koizumi Akako's dating strategy.

He had just started on his journey and passed by a bank when he suddenly encountered a group of bank robbers.

Fujino rushed forward, knocked down all the robbers, and called the police.

Then, not long after walking out, he encountered a thief.

Koizumi Hongzi: "..."

What the hell is this place?
Why is it so scary?!

There are murders outside, robberies and thieves appearing one after another.

This place might have been cursed by some dark magician, and some evil sacrificial ritual is going on, right? !

There was a robber every three steps and a fugitive every few steps. Koizumi Hongzi, who experienced the chaos of Tokyo's Beika-cho for the first time, couldn't stand it anymore and had to end the "date" hastily and go home quickly.

She was afraid that she, the witch, would be sacrificed in the next second.
