The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1231 The Witch Becomes Frugal

Coming out of the dessert shop, everyone picked up some packaged cakes and snacks.

The shop owner died, and one of the pastry chefs died too. If we don’t pack up now, the pastries from this shop will probably be out of stock!

Why don’t you buy two out-of-print cakes?
As for the fact that our group of Death Gods have killed another boss, Fujino couldn't help but sigh:
"Sure enough, in the scientific world, the profession of boss is a high-risk profession."

"The kind that can be easily killed if there is even a little labor dispute!"

"Compared to Maeda Tsuyoshi, it's easier to fool a girl like Morimoto who has dreams and aspirations..."

Fujino thought this in his heart and did not consider Maeda Tsuyoshi.

Maeda Tsuyoshi is a person who has been tortured by society, and this can be seen from his determined face.

What's more, he had just heard that Maeda owed money - this was something Fujino absolutely could not accept.

Who knows why he owes money?
If it was because of a family member's illness or something else, it would be fine. But if it was because of some other bad reasons, it would be like inviting a great god - creatures like gamblers will become unfortunate if they are touched by the slightest bit of it.

Of course, although he is also a gambler, he only gambles when it does not affect the people around him, and he can still make back his money... A truly bad gambler will really drag down everyone around him who is slightly related to him and make them miserable.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that he is definitely a gambler, but Fujino is not willing to bet on whether a person is a gambler.

This is a great example.

In addition to this, he said that there is already a pastry chef who makes snacks. He thinks Nishitani Miho is doing a very good job now and has created a lot of sales for the store. Things like this can easily make people suspect that the shop is being abandoned after it has served its purpose.

Morimoto is different, she makes candy and will never steal other people’s work.

Apart from her own strength, there is also a selling point...

In Fujino's opinion, the most important consideration is actually Haibara Ai.

If she hadn't given Xiao Ai two candies today and also given her the wrapping paper, Xiao Ai would have thought the candies were delicious...

Fujino would never consider taking her back.

Turnover and the like are secondary.

The key point is to be able to take her back and make candy for Ai.

Afterwards, Fujino drove his Toyota Hiace back with a group of people.

He looked like he was going to give the detective agency a thorough cleanup.

When Fujino was sending Koizumi Akako halfway, he simply dropped her off the car because it was not on his way.

The witch opened a teleportation array and went back, why did she ask me to send her back?
At worst, you can ride back on a broom, right?
This is what Fujino thought.

This made Koizumi Hongzi very angry.

Didn't I tell you that it costs a lot of mana to open a teleportation array? !

Also, you really dare to let me ride back on a broom in broad daylight!
Koizumi Hongzi cursed inwardly and sighed helplessly: I'll call my old goblin butler and ask him to pick me up...

As she thought about this, she recalled the murder that had just happened.

She didn't understand why she would encounter a murder case every time she went out with this guy Fujino!

It was the same last time, someone died for no apparent reason...

Koizumi Hongzi felt that there was definitely nothing wrong with her.

After all, I have never encountered any deaths, murders, or robberies in my daily life. At most, that hateful Kuroba Kaito likes to disguise his identity and steal things.

But if you follow Fujino out of the house, something bad will happen after you take two steps, and someone will die after you take three steps.

So... it should be his problem, right?
Koizumi Hongzi was confused for a moment and didn't understand why this happened.

Could it be some weird curse or something?
Just like the god of death...

How about some divination?
Koizumi Hongzi sighed secretly in her heart and wanted to find out the truth, but then she changed her mind and gave up the idea.

She doesn't want to explode any more crystal balls, magic mirrors, cauldrons or anything like that!
These things are very expensive and difficult to collect!
Koizumi Akako never imagined that as the heir to a shrine maiden family that has been passed down from the Middle Ages to the present day, she would one day become frugal and manage her household well.

…………

The next day, it was a normal school day.

Haibara Ai and Conan took Fujino's car and headed to Teitan Elementary School.

Teitan Elementary School remains the same as always, with no changes.

A group of children went to school, fighting and making noise.

This made her and Edogawa feel a little out of place...

"Hey, Conan!"

"Should we go see if there is any commission for our Junior Detective Team?"

"Oh!"

Okay, I'm the only one who feels out of place.

Haibara Ai thought this as she watched Conan, Mitsuhiko and Genta, two little brats, running away.

She drooped her eyelids, feeling that this boy Edogawa had been completely assimilated by the elementary school students.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Ayumi followed at the back, and it was obvious that as a little girl she couldn't keep up with those energetic boys.

"Ayumi, run slower, wait a moment."

"Oh...Ai-chan!"

Haibara Ai called out to Ayumi, and Ayumi stopped obediently.

For some reason, she felt the same feeling towards Haibara Ai as towards her mother.

Huihara Ai followed, with her hands behind her back: "Let them go and take care of the commissions, we will just follow them slowly, the commissions won't run away anyway."

"But Ayumi is also curious if there is any commission..."

"Be good, I'll give you some candy."

Haibara Ai took out a small candy wrapped in candy paper and handed it over.

Ayumi opened the cardboard and exclaimed in surprise like a little girl: "It's a little rabbit!"

"Ai-chan, where did you buy this little rabbit?"

"A dessert shop called Eclecchio."

Huihara Ai said, and paused: "But the owner of that store has died, and it is estimated that it will never open again in the future."

"Pity……"

Ayumi sighed and silently wrapped the little rabbit back again.

Seeing this, Huiyuan Ai was puzzled: "Don't you want to eat?"

"Because it's a gift you gave me, Ai-chan!"

Ayumi showed a sweet little girl smile on her face: "I'm a little reluctant to eat it, and the little rabbit is so cute, of course I can't eat it!"

“Eat it with peace of mind…”

"The pastry chef who made this bunny has been recruited by Fujino to Snow King Ice City. If you want to eat it, you can go to Snow King Ice City later."

"Really?!"

"real."

"Really?"

"real……"

Haibara Ai raised her hand and pressed it on the cute Ayumi's little head, rubbed it twice and said something to comfort her.

Upon hearing that, Ayumi opened the wrapping paper again. She no longer looked as cute as the little rabbit just now, and directly ate the little rabbit's head.

Let the little rabbit become a half-little rabbit.

And the look in Haibara Ai's eyes when she looked at her was full of doting.

Xiao Ayumi really looks like her childhood. Perhaps without the organization and other things, I would probably be like Xiao Ayumi now, attending an ordinary elementary school, and rolling around with ordinary classmates without any care in the world.

Is it even possible to meet Fujino?
If you calculate the age, I am indeed the same age as Fujino.

It is possible that I would be assigned to the same class and end up being like this group of kids.

Maybe, it's similar to that guy Edogawa and the girl who lives across the street, and he also has a lively girlfriend or something...

But think about it, it's a bit too dreamy.

Where can I have such a beautiful dream...

Haibara Ai thought so, laughed at herself in her heart, and entered the teaching building of Teitan Elementary School with Ayumi.

…………

After school, Xiaolan goes to the club for karate training, and Sonoko goes to the tennis club to play tennis.

As a member of the Homecoming Club, Fujino went to Teitan Elementary School, picked up Xiaolan and Conan, and sent them home.

"How was school today?"

"It's quite interesting..."

Ai Huihara sat in the passenger seat, looking at the scenery outside the car window. She responded to Fujino's daily inquiries like this: "It's probably that Mr. Kobayashi designed a game to make everyone accept the new transfer girl and the other two students who were injured and couldn't integrate into Jin's class after returning to mingle with the other students."

"Teacher Kobayashi is quite gentle..."

Fujino couldn't help but complain when he heard this, "I hope she won't become someone like the Iron Fist Saint in the future..."

Conan, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't help but nod in agreement. Thinking back to the Iron Fist Saint Hiratsuka Shizuka, he had a lot of bad memories.

Back then, the arrogant guy was caught and taught a lesson by that woman several times.

But Fujino thought about it and felt that he was worrying too much.

I guess after she finishes teaching Conan this class, she will marry Shiratori and become a rich wife.

Uh, think carefully about this weird timeline of the scientific world.

It is estimated that Conan will never graduate in this life.

Well, you old thief Qisan, you are guilty of a heinous crime!
…………

Fujino parked the car in the underground garage and took Haibara Ai out of the garage to have some afternoon tea in the Snow King Ice City.

Then, as soon as I went up, I heard two women asking the Shimogasa sisters:
"Excuse me, is Detective Fujino here?"

"I just went to the detective agency and rang the doorbell but no one answered..."

The Shimokasa sisters looked at the two women in confusion, and Ooka Momiji, who was passing by, said, "Fujino went to school."

"I guess he'll be back in a while, right?"

"go to school……?"

One of the women with a slightly elegant temperament was stunned for a moment, and the woman next to her who looked a little gloomy and had a mature and quiet older sister vibe reminded her: "Detective Fujino is a high school detective. Today is not a day off, and he should go to school normally."

"..."

The elegant woman was a little speechless: "Why didn't you say so earlier..."

"Well..."

Sister An Jing was a little helpless: "You came too hastily, I wanted to remind you."

"It seems we can only wait for a while..."

"Excuse me, what can you two do for me?"

Fujino greeted the two of them, walked up to them and asked them.

The two turned around and saw Fujino, then asked in confusion, "Excuse me, are you Detective Fujino?"

"There should be some paparazzi photos of me in the newspapers, right?"

"After all, your temperament in person is a little different from that in the photo..."

"But you came to me specially, it should be for a commission, right?"

"Yes, we do have a commission to trouble you..."

"Then let's go upstairs and talk. After all, there are too many people here."

"Ok."

Ooka Hongye watched Fujino invite the two people upstairs and followed them naturally.

In fact, she really likes watching Fujino and the clients talking about their commissions. It feels like listening to a story.

You can also see Fujino using his sneaky way to cheat other people out of their commissions.

Haibara Ai watched Momiji go upstairs and chose to follow silently.

Cat is sneaking...

Conan looked at the two people going up, frowned, and felt that this matter would not be simple.

There is a special attraction...

Wouldn't I have to follow and eavesdrop?
Fujino brought his guests to his detective agency on the second floor and asked the two to sit on the sofa in the reception area.

Hongye went straight to the tea room and brewed a pot of fresh black tea that she had brought with her.

Huiyuan Ai: The cat stares at me with resentment...

"Thanks……"

The woman, who seemed quite quiet, took the tea from Hongye's hand and thanked her politely.

The elegant woman next to him picked up the black tea and tasted it: "This black tea is really a top-notch high-quality tea..."

"What kind?"

In response to the woman's question, Fujino looked towards Momiji.

Hongye was puzzled when he heard this, and thought about it for a while, then shook his head helplessly: "I don't know too much. These teas were given to our family as gifts when my grandfather went abroad. The black tea I usually drink was probably sent here together..."

"Is that so? Then it seems that I don't know."

Fujino thought about it and said so directly without asking how it came about.

It would be troublesome if they asked about the state gift.

If it really is a state gift or something, take it out to entertain the guests of the small detective agency.

It’s a bit difficult to think about it.

He turned around and asked them, "Can you two introduce yourselves? Otherwise, we won't be able to continue our conversation..."

"My name is Maki Juri, and I'm an actor."

The elegant woman named Maki Juri introduced herself.

She had short reddish hair that looked like it had been dyed, with her bangs curled up on both sides. It was a bit difficult to describe what kind of hairstyle it was. Her makeup was exquisite, with lipstick and eyeliner, earrings in her ears, and she was wearing an orange-red Poro shirt with a white skirt.

Judging from his temperament, you can tell that he is an actor. After all, he looks quite elegant and has a smile on his face. You can tell at first glance that he is the kind of person who smiles all year round.

The woman next to him who seemed a little quiet introduced herself: "My name is Masayo Yaguchi, and I'm your manager."

Miss Masayo Yaguchi looks rather quiet, with long black hair, wearing the same glasses as Conan, fair skin, and a light army green OL suit.

Judging from his expression, he seems a bit gloomy and unconfident, as if he is a bit malnourished?

Maybe it's because the agent worked too much overtime and his family was resentful...

Well, I can only say that people who work overtime are like this.

He was so tired that his face turned pale like a ghost, and he looked extremely exhausted. His resentment was deeper than the three mass graves.

Fujino thought this in his heart as he observed the two people.
