The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1165 As long as they are father and daughter, it's fine
"..."

Koizumi Hongzi showed dead fish eyes and glanced to the side.

The red-tinged shops in Snow King Ice City were decorated in a simple and ordinary style. The warm yellow lights from the ceiling shone down on the bustling customers, the busy Shimogisa sisters, Fujino Akemi who was sitting behind the cashier and smilingly serving customers, and...

The girl who sneaks around the wall and peeks around looks like a little loli, but in fact she is an 18-year-old girl?

Koizumi Hongzi simply ignored the loli clinging to the wall, and her eyelids drooped slightly.

She suddenly felt that these obviously unreliable words somehow made sense.

Regardless of whether it's a scam or not, it's really warm here.

It feels like home.

Although he has no parents, he has an older sister. They run a small shop together to make a living and their life is ordinary.

Koizumi Hongzi inexplicably felt a sour feeling.

She envied such a life.

Although as a witch she possesses powers beyond that of ordinary people, she also possesses the wealth accumulated by the Red Magic lineage over the years.

However, she still wants to live an ordinary life.

You can cry like a normal person without having to bear the so-called fate of inheritance.

Goblin Butler: “…”

So, Miss Hongzi, am I not a human being?
I don't seem to be a human being...

Such a thought only flashed through her mind.

After she recovered from her shock, she looked back at Fujino and warned him, "Although I have no right to say anything, I still want to remind you to be careful not to let the truth get out of your mind."

"I know."

Fujino nodded and replied: "I have already thought about these things. I will find a way when the time is right."

Koizumi Hongzi nodded and didn't say anything more.

As people who also have a heritage, she is bound by the fate of the heritage, but the other party is obviously not trapped in the cocoon of fate.

As a fellow human being, she hopes to see the best in the other person.

…………

"Dang——dang——dang——"

A golden cross hangs on the triangular doorpost of the white church, and the bells on the top ring, echoing clearly in the surroundings.

White petals are floating, white doves are flying, the crowd is bustling, and there are newlyweds who look very much in love.

The white bouquet was thrown high up by the bride, drawing an arc in the air.

The girls at the scene competed for the bouquets, hoping to get a bit of the "joy" and become the next person to be happy.

Among the crowd who raised their hands to grab the bouquet, a white hand rose up and grabbed the bouquet.

The crowd looked around, wanting to see who was so lucky to get the bouquet of joy.

Then I saw a handsome young man wearing a black suit and with short hair.

A teenager to be exact?
But his temperament doesn't look like that of a teenager, it would be more accurate to describe him as a young man.

After all, considering the little girl next to them, they look like a father and daughter.

Fujino sniffed the flower lightly... Uh, the petals were a little wilted, probably because they were left overnight. They didn't smell good at all.

The girls around him immediately became dissatisfied with the boy who was 1.80 meters tall and wanted to snatch flowers from them, a group of short guys.

Fujino passed by and felt something thrown at him, so he subconsciously caught it.

I didn't expect it to be this thing...

Fujino's brain was working rapidly, and in just a moment, he came up with a good idea and handed the bouquet to Haibara Ai who was wearing a black dress beside him.

Huiyuan Ai took the flower and held it in her arms, showing a happy smile of a little girl. Seeing this, the resentful girls around her immediately stopped complaining and immediately showed a relieved and doting look to Huiyuan Ai - it turned out that it was the father who stole the flower for his daughter, so it's okay!

Haibara Ai: What I mean is, why does this look make people feel a little angry?
"Hey, Fujino, you are here again!"

"No more talking, I met someone I know!"

A familiar and carefree voice suddenly came from not far away.

When Fujino looked, he saw Shizuka Hiratsuka not far away, who used himself as an excuse to escape from the aunts and uncles who were urging him to get married at the wedding.

Fujino: No, Hiratsuka Saint, why are you attending this kind of suicide-like wedding again?

In the end, Fujino did not say this, for fear that he would be knocked out by a single punch from the legendary "Iron Fist Saint".

"Phew... saved."

"Fujino... and Ai, you're here too."

Shizuka Hiratsuka ran over quickly, and it seemed like she had been running for who knows how many years to cover the short distance. She was panting heavily as if she had just done intense exercise, and the black dress she had worn to a wedding before was shaking violently.

Fujino looked at her speechlessly: "So, why did you come to the wedding again... Is your cousin getting married again?"

"Ah, how did you know?"

"My guess."

"It's my cousin, my little cousin."

Hiratsuka Shizuka responded and sighed, "She got married while still in college. How abominable! She's just an adult, not even a few years older than you. No, that's really scary. Kids nowadays mature too early."

"It's all her fault. Those relatives started nagging again..."

As she spoke, a tired look appeared on her face, as if she had recalled something terrible, and a rare look of fear appeared on her face.

After calming down, she looked at Fujino and said, "But by the way, whose wedding are you attending this time?"

"Officer Takagi from the Metropolitan Police Department, you should have seen him..."

"Is that the police officer who looks honest and a little unreliable?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka thought about it, thought of Takagi Wataru, and said it directly and frankly.

Fujino: What I mean is, some things are better left unsaid in your heart, because it hurts to speak them out loud, okay?
"It's really fast. I didn't expect that he's already married. Who is the other party?"

"She's the traffic police officer from the Traffic Division, Yumi Miyamoto. She's actually Sato's best friend."

"Officer Sato's best friend..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka knew Miwako Sato. Thinking back to when they met before, they got along very well.

As the two of them were talking, they walked into the auditorium.

Then, when passing a corner, Takagi was pushed out of the room.

He lost his balance and fell in front of everyone.

"..."

Everyone looked at Takagi in front of them in silence, with a blank expression on their faces.

Fujino: What I'm saying is, can you please not keep your character so stable and fix the impression you leave on others, Officer Takagi?
Takagi looked at the people in front of him, stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

He recovered and stood up, asking in surprise: "Fujino, and Mr. Hiratsuka, why are you here?!"

Although he told Fujino about this, he did not tell Fujino where he would hold the wedding.

How come he's here?

Why do you have your own teacher with your child?
Uh… But then again, these people were all wearing black.

The color tone is so uniform, they look like a family.
