The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1228: Don’t let Death down, keep your word

Xiaolan was a very sensitive girl, and she immediately noticed that Hongye's expression was gradually darkening.

The resentment seems to be written all over his face!
She chuckled, her tone quite helpless, as if she had found a like-minded person: "Hongye, Yuanzi is like this. Since I met her, she has never deliberately maintained her figure. I don't know how she does it."

"This physique is really good..."

Ooka Hongye looked at Yuanzi who was feasting with helplessness and a hint of envy.

She felt that she had completely defeated this silly girl from the Suzuki family.

only……

This was the only thing she admitted she was a little envious of.

Which little girl wouldn’t envy a physique that allows one to eat anything without gaining weight... Not to mention little girls, even grown girls would envy it!

"Conan, have you chosen yet?"

"Ah...I've finished eating."

When Xiaolan saw Conan coming back, she looked at his empty hands and asked with some confusion.

Conan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled and said so.

At the same time, I felt secretly resentful in my heart.

Just now, he carefully picked a cake that was not too greasy.

Just when he was about to come back to eat, he bumped into an aunt who seemed to be the owner of the place.

Then, Mr. Cake died heroically.

Afterwards, the aunt said she would get him a cake, but after following him in, she ran to the kitchen and scolded the pastry chef Tsuyoshi Maeda for a long time.

With no other choice, he had to come back.

Although he didn't like desserts, he was disappointed that the chance to have sex with Fujino for free was wasted...

Damn that old woman!
…………

The plate of small cakes was quickly eaten up in the garden.

After finishing the small cakes on the plate, she made another bold statement: "There will be more activities in the afternoon, and there will definitely be more new styles!"

"I'm sure I'll get my money's worth this time!"

She looked like a tigress that had been hungry for years.

In short, it's very scary.

Fujino looked at her like this and felt a little embarrassed to remind her that since you paid for the ticket, you have to pay for the cake, it's not a buffet, and they will still make a profit even if you buy everything there.

But then I thought about it...

Could it be me she is talking about?
Huiyuan Ai drooped her eyelids and complained speechlessly: "I advise you to eat less sweets."

"Ok?"

Yuanzi felt that her authority was challenged and immediately said unconvinced: "I am just like this, I won't get fat no matter how much I eat!"

"I mean health issues."

Huiyuan Ai crossed her arms and sighed, "With the way you eat, even Americans who eat sugar as a meal may not be able to handle it."

"If you eat and your blood sugar goes up, you will probably secrete a large amount of insulin in a short while, causing your body to have a sugar crash and you will pass out."

"That's not a problem, is it?"

After hearing this, Sonoko thought about it and felt that it was a good thing: if she fainted and lay in the arms of her senior, wouldn't that be like the scene in her dream?
It's romantic to think about a hero saving a beautiful girl. What if he could give himself artificial respiration or something? That would be a huge win.

Just thinking about it is exciting!

Pink bubbles were popping up like crazy in Yuanzi's head, and she felt completely dizzy.

"..."

Haibara Ai looked at her with quiet eyes and was speechless for a moment.

Did I just say something weird?
Why did you tell her you were excited?
What a strange XP...

This thought flashed through her mind, and she took a deep breath before continuing, "In addition to sugar crashes, excessive intake of sugar can also cause skin aging and a decline in the brain's cognitive function."

"...?"

Hearing this, Yuanzi's spoon suddenly stopped moving and his expression turned bad: "Skin...skin aging?"

"..."

Xiao Ai looked at the point that Sonoko paid attention to, and secretly complained in her heart: So, in your eyes, IQ is not as important as skin, right?
When Yuanzi heard that eating too much sugar would make people age, she immediately put down the spoon in her hand and said, "I can't live with sugar!" Everyone looked at her with an expression as if she was a fool.

Considering her performance, everyone thought to themselves: It might be true that eating too much sugar can make people stupid.

Koizumi Hongzi silently took a sip of black tea. She was not worried at all about skin concerns.

As a monkey soju, she couldn't make herself immortal or something, which was a bit regrettable, but she could still use some magic tricks to stay young and beautiful.

Even though she is young and beautiful now, she doesn't need this kind of magic.

It's just IQ or something...

It seems I need to eat less sweets in the future.

Koizumi Akako thought that the reason why she, who was so smart, was fooled by Fujino must be because she had eaten sweets.

Well, that's definitely the case.

"So you are here!"

At this time, a familiar man's voice was heard.

Fujino Yasuo came over with a plate of cakes and placed them on the table. "Little brother, this is the cake you made before. I modified it a little bit. How do you feel about it?"

Conan immediately showed his dead fish eyes, looking at the cake in front of him that looked like a real tree trunk, and secretly complained in his heart: "It's really beautiful after decoration... It's decorated a little bit, it's a little bit... If you don't know, you would think you made a new one... So this can't be a new one, right?"

Yuanzi looked at the exquisite cake in front of her and swallowed.

But thinking about what Xiao Ai had just said, she finally endured it.

Compared to the desire for food and drink, skin is more important.

As a young girl, she secretly thought so in her heart.

Yasuo Fujino looked at the few people and saw that they had no opinion on his cake. He didn't say much and just turned and left without staying for long.

Fujino, however, looked at his back with his eyes narrowed slightly, and a screen of system task prompts appeared in front of him:

[System Task: Witch's Candy Magic]

[Task Summary: Today's stage is the candy house! The female owner of the Eccleuch dessert shop died next to the cash register. Who is the murderer?
Tricks, syrups, sweet traps!
If you change your mindset a little, you can solve the mystery...】

[Mission objective: Find the murderer who killed the female boss]

[Mission Reward: 500 million yen, 500 detective reputation, 5 detective coins]

Fujino silently closed the system taskbar, and then a scream came from the candy house:
"what--!!!!"

"..."

Everyone who heard this felt that the scream was a little familiar.

Conan was stunned for a moment, wondering if it was Fujino Yasuo who made those girls roar again.

But after thinking for a moment, he decided to go and have a look. What if?
…………

By the time everyone arrived, a middle-aged woman was already dead at the cash register of the Candy House Dessert Shop.

The one who screamed was the lovely Ms. Morimoto.

Conan looked at the familiar woman lying on the ground and fell into deep thought - so this old woman was killed by my crow's mouth?
If you say dead, then dead?
Then if I just curse Gin to be hit and killed by a truck, will it come true?
Conan thought about it and didn't think of any legal provisions related to cursing others, so he breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he thought - this is definitely not my fault. If anyone is to blame, it should be that old Fujino. Why does something go wrong every time he goes out with old Fujino?
It must be his fault!

Xiaolan quickly took out her cell phone and prepared to call the police.

Fujino looked at this scene, and his memories drifted back. He recalled that in the past, Xiaolan had to find a landline to call the police, but now she can just take out her cell phone to call the police, and there is no chance to interrupt the spell at all. He couldn't help but sigh that the technology in the world of science has exploded, but it is outrageous that there is no wave of technology explosion.

After sighing in his heart, he withdrew his thoughts, took out a pair of white gloves, put them on his hands, and pressed the pulse of the female boss in front of him.

He immediately stood up and shook his head regretfully: "The person is already beyond saving."

"how so……"

Tomomi Morimoto covered her mouth and looked at the body of the female boss in front of her with an expression of disbelief.

Fujino was no longer surprised by the old routine of this popcorn man.

The Ke Xue Mi Hua people, no matter whether they are the murderer or not, are all veteran actors.

He took out his work ID from his pocket and said, "Metropolitan Police Department Criminal Advisor Fujino, I will take care of this temporarily until the police arrive."

"The current time is 12:40. The deceased is a middle-aged woman. It seems that she suffered a severe blow to the back of her head, which indirectly caused brain stem damage and caused obstructive death."

"Tell me the details of the discovery of the body, who discovered the body, or the identity of the deceased?"

"I was the one who found the body."

Maeda Tsuyoshi came over at this time and took the initiative to speak, his tone and expression were extremely calm: "I came back from the office at that time, and then I saw Manager Hashigaki lying on the ground. Then Miss Moritomo came over and screamed."

"The time is about twelve-thirty-five."

"Mr. Maeda remembers it very clearly!"

Conan looked at the calm Maeda Tsuyoshi and began to ask questions in a childish tone: "But why did you go to the office, Mr. Maeda?"

"Because someone called me and told me something happened."

Maeda Tsuyoshi explained calmly, "The office is about two or three minutes away from here, but when I arrived, the man had already hung up the phone. When I came back, I saw Manager Hashigaki. I usually develop the habit of looking at the clock when I check the oven, so I remember the time very clearly."

Fujino stared at the dead store manager, then asked Maeda Tsuyoshi, "You said she was the store manager. Can you give us more details?"

“The store manager is the owner of this dessert shop.”

Maeda Tsuyoshi explained: "My full name is Hashigaki Sachiko."

Fujino nodded when he heard this, then turned to ask the others, "So besides Mr. Maeda who was in the office at the time, what about you guys?"

"I happened to be bringing you cakes at the time, you should know that."

Fujino Yasuo said at this time: "When I went out, the store manager was checking today's accounts. I'm not sure about the time, but when I returned, she came with you."

"my words……"

Morimoto Tomomi said weakly: "After sending a few children away from the counter, I went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for the afternoon."

"Ms. Morimoto, did you see anyone else come in at that time?"

"No, Mr. Fujino."

Hearing this, Fujino touched his chin and turned his gaze to the side: "Mr. Maeda, did anyone give you an alibi at the time?"

"Well, I don't think so. There was no one in the office at that time. It seemed that everyone went to lunch."

"Is that so?"

Fujino responded, then took out a piece of cordon from his pocket and stuck it around: "In this case, the three of you are temporarily suspects. Can you stand here for a while and wait for the police to come?"

"Eh?"

Morimoto Tomomi was stunned when she heard this: "How could I be a suspect!"

“Because you were there.”

Morimoto Tomomi panicked for a moment. "Although I was there at the time, the doorway is a blind spot. Someone might have come in when I wasn't paying attention. Besides, I had no reason to kill the store manager..."

"Na na!"

Conan jumped up again at this time: "Morimoto sister, I think I saw you arguing with the store manager, what were you arguing about?"

"This one……"

Morimoto Tomomi's face suddenly froze.

Then, Fujino Yasuo elaborated on the conflict between Morimoto and the store manager - the general meaning was that the two people's ideas were not in line with each other. Morimoto believed that taste was the key, while the store manager believed that appearance was the key. It seemed that Morimoto had never deliberately worked hard on the appearance.

Fujino was a little confused. He wondered where the effort was not put into making the sugar that looked like glass. He could only say that this was a dispute among the masters' ideas.

After Morimoto was exposed, he turned around and exposed the secrets of the other two people.

Maeda borrowed a lot of money from his boss, but no one knew what he did with it. Fujino Yasuo wanted to leave the candy store and start his own business.

The classic three-choice session.

Fujino was a little speechless watching the quarreling people, and interrupted them, "Stop quarreling, wait until the police arrive to discuss anything. Before the police arrive, no one should cross the cordon and touch the body."

As he said this, he also gave a special reminder: "Especially you, Conan."

"Hey……"

Conan looked dead in the eye, feeling that he was being targeted, and left in a huff, planning to look for evidence so that he could give Fujino Ryouto a slap in the face.

Koizumi Akako looked at Fujino who had entered his professional state and fell into the witch's silence again.

Well, this place must have been cursed by some dark magician!
How come I would encounter a murder case just by going out to eat a small cake?
…………

Soon, Brother Megure arrived at the scene at the speed of light with his younger brothers.

This time, the people who followed were a passerby police officer and the fat boy Chiba.

Fujino recounted the circumstances of the crime and everyone's alibis to his dear brother.

This made the older brother exclaim in his heart, "You are worthy of being my dear brother. This wave of work has directly reduced my workload."

After quickly organizing his thoughts, he turned to look at the three suspects at the scene and began to choose one of the three:

"Not long after Fujino left, the murderer broke in and killed the victim. Then Maeda returned here and found the body. The one who stayed here the whole time was Ms. Morimoto. Am I right?"

"The deceased suffered a severe blow to the back of the head. According to Brother Fujino's analysis, it should be something like a blunt object. Chiba, Hirano, the two of you go search the area."

"Yes!"

After instructing his younger brothers, he turned around, walked towards his dear brother, and said:

"Brother Fujino, what do you think of this case?"

"Choose one from the three. Who do you choose, Megure?"

"As for me...according to the current situation, it should be Morimoto."

"That can be ruled out directly."

"???"

Megure Jusan silently typed a series of question marks, feeling that his brother's tone seemed to look down on him?
He suddenly felt a little chilled in his heart, thinking that his younger brother's words were a little too blunt and hurt his feelings.
