The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1163 You M are not dead! (Literally)
"...?"

Everyone looked at the witch's operation in front of them, and they all had questioning expressions on their faces.

And as Koizumi Hongzi's divination came to an end.

Fujino also responded, and a system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind:

"System tasks detected, please check"

【System Task: Fishing MAIL】

[System Overview: The lady at the coffee shop next door has asked you to find a missing child. Now with the help of Miss Witch, you have obtained the approximate location. Please find the missing child.]

[System Rewards: 2 Detective Coins, 200 million yen, 200 Detective Reputation]

Fujino stared at the system interface in front of him, closed it, and nodded to everyone: "It looks like the child should be at the fishing grounds in Kikinezaki."

"..."

Everyone looked at him in shock for a moment, then he looked speechless with a look of certainty on his face.

That’s it, found it?

This is inexplicably a bit too sloppy, isn't it?

The key is that some people actually believed it!

It's true that one dares to say it and the other dares to believe it!
Could it be that he was hypnotized?

Others who are unaware may doubt Koizumi Akako.

However, Fujino, who knew Koizumi Akako inside and out, did not have any doubts at all.

No one knew this witch better than him.

As he was thinking, he suddenly thought of something and asked everyone in confusion: "By the way, does anyone know where Kikomaezaki is?"

"..."

Everyone felt even more unreliable.

…………

Kiyamaezaki is a fictitious place name, and its actual geographical location is Omaezaki in Shizuoka Prefecture.

Now that the Sea Lion had not been repaired yet, Fujino drove the Taurus and took everyone to Shizuoka.

Fortunately, Fujino's Taurus has enough space inside.

There were four people sitting down: Enomoto Azusa, Haibara Ai, Koizumi Akiko, and Miyano Akemi, so it wasn't too crowded.

Fujino drove very fast and soon arrived at Shizuoka, not too far from Tokyo.

How far is it exactly? About 178 kilometers.

That is to say, it is about the distance from Tongliao Universe to Siping, and it is even fifty kilometers longer.

It would take no more than two hours to drive on the highway.

It should be said that apart from the fact that its land is a little narrow and long, the overall area of ​​Neon is instantly larger than that of Heilongjiang among the 13 provinces in the east. If you take Jilin and Liaoning together, they are almost equal.

Arrived at the fishing spot where Koizumi Hongzi had her fortune told.

Everyone looked around but couldn't find the child who sent the text message.

Azusa Enomoto panicked: "How could this happen? Could the child not be here?"

"Her divination should not be wrong."

Fujino turned his gaze to Koizumi Hongzi beside him and asked, "So, have you divined the exact location?"

After hearing this, she showed a helpless expression and complained: "With only that magazine, I can only find out that he is in Kikomaezaki. I am not predicting the future, how can I find him directly?"

"Then you can just predict the future."

"..."

Koizumi Hongzi looked at Fujino with a gloomy look.

Do you think that predicting the future is just a random prediction?

At most I'm just predicting the future, and it's not even accurate!

There's no need for a crystal ball or magic mirror or anything like that. With an outrageous guy like you getting involved, I'm probably going to get hurt myself!

She complained like this, and reluctantly leaned forward and whispered: "If I use other magic, I can find it, but..."

As she spoke, she glanced at the people present and said, "After all, there are outsiders here, so it's not convenient for me to take action."

Fujino nodded when he heard this. He could understand that it was indeed a bit difficult for her to accurately predict the opponent's position without using too large magic.

It looks like we can't rely on this witch for the time being.

But it's not a big problem.

The direction Hiroki found on the highway surveillance was indeed towards Kikomaezaki, and Koizumi Akako's prediction was correct.

As for the exact location, it cannot be found.

Hiroki is only monitoring the situation in Tokyo, so it is not realistic for him to come to Shizuoka.

Fujino didn't care about this because he wasn't worried about not being able to find the child.

In his impression, it should have been found through a secret code, which might have something to do with a carp flag or something.

He was still able to crack a code of this level.

Even if we can’t crack it, we still have our secret assistant Haibara Ai!
The advantage is mine!

Thinking this in his heart, Fujino murmured:

"I feel like there are some clues that can be deduced from the text messages that the child sent."

"But I'm not very good at secret codes."

As he said this, he turned his gaze to Haibara Ai who was standing beside him.

Haibara Ai: Okay, we are forced to start business again.

She thought for a moment and shook her head: "There are still few clues now, and I am not sure. The fish and the fishing nets are too wide..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Koizumi Hongzi: "Of course, the premise is that the place of 'divination' is correct."

"..." Koizumi Hongzi's eyebrows twitched, feeling that she was being suspected by the other party.

Why do I feel like this kid is hostile towards me?

Isn't it?

Just as Haibara Ai finished her words, a series of "beep beep" text message alert sounds suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked and saw that the message came from Azusa Enomoto's cell phone.

She immediately opened her phone and saw the latest news: "I thought there was only one fish, but it turns out there are three... The fish are so happy..."

"Three fish, are the fish so happy?"

Miyano Akemi murmured, "Didn't they just say that a fish was caught in the net and died?"

"It should be a carp streamer."

Fujino thought for a moment and touched his chin. "It seems like Children's Day just passed recently. Some places are still hanging carp flags. Three carp flags represent a family of three. That's why he said he was very happy. After all, he hasn't seen his mother for a long time and he still longs for the warmth of family. As for death, it should be that the carp flags are like dead fish."

Of course Fujino knew what a carp streamer was.

Simply put, this thing is a traditional cultural product hung by Japanese boys on Children's Day. For example, if a family has a son and his parents are still alive, they will hang three carp flags. If one of the family members has died, then there will only be two. If both parents are dead... it seems that there is no need for orphans whose parents have both died to hang carp flags.

If there is no guardian, he might be sent to an orphanage like the Shimokasa sisters.

As for girls, of course they also hang pink carp flags, even though this is not part of the tradition. But after all, times are changing, and traditional culture must also develop.

Huihara Ai thought about it for a moment, and suddenly said, "I understand. He must have mistaken the fence around the tennis court or baseball field for a fishing net, and the carp streamer for a fish. That's why he said the fish was caught in the net, and the carp streamer that wasn't blown up by the wind was like a dead fish, so he was wondering if he would die like a fish."

As she spoke, she looked up at the sky and said, "Look, isn't the wind blowing now?"

Upon hearing this, Azusa Enomoto was shocked and said, "In that case, Miss Hongzi's divination is really correct. He is with Kikomaezaki now?!"

"Hmph..." Koizumi Hongzi folded her arms across her chest and snorted complacently: I was not wrong in the first place when I told the fortune, okay!
Although Huiyuan Ai didn't want to admit that fortune-telling could actually be correct, she nodded and looked towards a high platform not far away and said, "There's an observation tower over there. Just go up and look for the direction where the carp flag is hung. You should be able to find it by following your line of sight."

…………

Under the guidance of Haibara Ai, everyone quickly found the child named Nagabe Mitsuru who sent text messages to Enomoto Azusa.

"Xiao Man, Xiao Man!"

Azusa Enomoto looked at Nagabe Mitsuru in the car, feeling anxious and knocking on the window continuously.

Huiyuan Ai calmly tried to open the car door, but came to a conclusion: "The door is locked."

"Get out of the way and let me do it."

"Brother...don't mess around."

"What's going on?"

Seeing that Fujino looked aggressive, Miyano Akemi was afraid that Fujino would punch her and take away the car and the child together.

Fujino was speechless, but he did not do what she had imagined, which was to remove the car door with his bare hands.

He came forward, looked at the keyhole furtively, and glanced around, as if observing whether anyone else saw him. Then he took out a small black hairpin from his pocket, broke it open, and inserted the wire into the door lock.

With the combined effects of [Auto Mechanic·Mechanical Affinity·Machine Soul Joy] and [Magician·Phantom Hand], the wire in Fujino's hand was like a long snake, constantly exploring inside the winding and rugged keyhole hole and drilling towards the depths.

Finally, Fujino seemed to sense something, and suddenly felt a strange feeling coming from his hand, and then he poked it inside with force.

All I heard was a "kata" sound.

The car door lock was pried open directly.

"The big sister of the Poirot Cafe?"

Nagabe Mitsuru looked at the familiar older sister who suddenly appeared in front of him with a puzzled expression.

Seeing that the child was fine, Azusa Enomoto breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help asking, "Xiaoman, where is your father?"

"I don't know..."

The head of the department was puzzled, "Dad said we couldn't get out of the car, and then he left."

"Gone?"

"Maybe there's something urgent..."

Upon hearing this, Fujino narrowed his eyes, then took out his phone and called his acquaintance, the Coral-headed brother Yokomizo Sango.

Then, we learned that the other party's father had gone to stop a fight but got involved in a brawl and was knocked unconscious by two people and sent to the hospital.

All I can say is that sometimes, reasoning is not necessary to find the answer.

For a detective, reasoning is secondary, and the most important thing is actually connections.

For example, if I can solve something with just a phone call, why should I make inferences?
This is the importance of connections.

Being a detective is not about reasoning and solving cases, but about the ways of the world!

After receiving the call from Henggou Canwu, the other party hurried back and had a touching father-son reunion with his son.

Fujino was speechless: "So, how can you persuade yourself to go to the hospital when you are just trying to stop a fight?"

Nagabe Mitsuru's father, Mr. Nagabe, who still had a bandage on his head, scratched the bandage on his head and said with a wry smile: "I wanted to go over and stop the fight, but before I could say a few words, I didn't remember anything... When I woke up, I was already in the hospital."

Fujino then asked the key question: "So you asked them for compensation?"

"Compensation?"

"Yes."

Fujino coughed lightly and said, "According to the Criminal Law's joint principal offender, special case of simultaneous injury, and negligent crime, both of them are guilty of negligent injury and can be fined up to 30 yen or detained. According to Article 719 of the Civil Code, they will also bear civil liability."

"Forehead……"

Mr. Nagabe felt a little dazed as he watched the detective in front of him explaining the legal provisions in a serious manner.

So, you're a detective, not a lawyer, right?

Mr. Nagabe complained in his heart and explained: "The police said I committed manslaughter. Those people just need to pay my medical expenses..."

"Article 722 of the Civil Code. That's fine."

Fujino was speechless when he saw his brother who didn't get his share of the pen.

Article 722 of the Japanese Civil Code focuses on fair sharing of responsibilities; Article : The victim must have objective negligence (such as failure to take reasonable avoidance measures, actively intervening in danger, etc.). Simply put, it is a law targeting the consequences caused by the victim's own negligence.

To put it simply, two pure tanky, high-recovery, hard-control warriors on your team are hurting each other, and you, an ADC who is at a disadvantage, go up to help. Then, because you don't operate well, you get sucked into the melee and get killed without even helping. Isn't this just a lack of self-awareness and asking for trouble?
So, this incident tells us that if you are not good at it, you should practice more and stop meddling in other people’s business, okay?

Now what happened is that I was knocked unconscious and was hospitalized with a bleeding head. The child was sunburned and had foam coming out of the corners of his mouth. In the end, I didn’t get a penny. What’s the point?

The man felt as if he was being looked down upon, and suddenly felt bitter. He then changed the subject and said, "Xiao Man, look who I brought back!"

"mom!"

Mr. Nagabe changed the subject, turned around and looked behind him, and saw a woman who looked to be in her thirties standing not far behind him.

The woman had a black ponytail tied on her shoulders. She looked very dangerous. She had an oval face and looked somewhat similar to Azusa Enomoto.

Nagabe Man burst into tears and ran over to call for his mother.

It was obvious that this woman was his mother who was suspected to be dead.

'Your mother is not dead! ' (literal meaning)
Miyano Akemi and Enomoto Azusa were stunned when they saw the mother of the child who suddenly appeared in front of them and whom they thought was dead, but then they thought it was inappropriate for them to say this.

He forced himself to swallow back the slightly impolite words that were about to come out of his mouth.

The two of them couldn't help but ask in unison: "So, why did your wife go back to her parents' home?"

Isn't this just an excuse to cover up the death?

In response to this, Mr. Nagabe explained that the lady had tuberculosis and had said that she had returned to her parents' home in order not to worry her children, but she was afraid that the children would be infected if they went to visit her, so she said that.

Now that I am sure it is not contagious, I have come back.

Mom is back, and for the little boy Nagabe Mitsuru, the big sister at the Poirot Café as a substitute for his mother naturally loses her value.

Azusa Enomoto was immediately ignored by the little kid.

Looking at the woman who looked similar to herself, Azusa Enomoto immediately realized that she was being treated as a substitute mother by this child.

She also knew that she was a substitute...

This made her feel a little lost.

But the final result was good, at least he didn't die.

Seeing that the family was reunited, she had nothing to say.

You can't say that you hope someone's mother is really dead, right?
