The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1232: If I can’t solve the code, can I solve you?

The surname Mu is quite rare in Japan.

Almost like a concubine.

As for this last name, Fujino only had one assistant lady in his memory - Makise Kurisu.

However, the assistant's surname is Makise, not Maki.

Retracting his thoughts, he looked at the agent and actress in front of him and asked, "It turns out to be Ms. Maki and Ms. Yaguchi..."

"What do you two have to ask?"

"Is such that."

Makuri took out a letter, handed it to Fujino, and explained: "This morning, I found this thing on my balcony, along with a bunch of roses..."

"Rose?"

Conan frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

My mind automatically thought of another white figure who was even more pretentious than me.

Fujino took the letter, took a look at it, and saw that it said:

【Romeo Juliet Victor Bravo! 】

【Romeo, Juliet, victory, cheers!】

[In the interlaced dance of 26 letters, I will take away the 'gem of destiny']

【——Kaitou Kidd】

[2 of Spades split in half]

Hongye came over to take a look and asked curiously, "Is it Kaito Kidd?"

"It should be him."

Fujino put the envelope on the coffee table, then looked at the two and asked, "So, you came to see me because of the matter of Kaito Kidd?"

"That's right..."

Manager Masayo Yaguchi nodded and explained, "Because you have fought Kaito Kidd many times, we came to find you, an expert in dealing with Kidd."

"What do you think of this preview letter?"

"I don't have any opinions or anything like that."

Fujino touched his chin and pretended to be in deep thought for a moment: "The code he gave is closely related to the stolen gemstone. I am not quite sure about the connection between this gemstone and Luo Juliet."

"Since the notice was sent to you, then the gem should be in your hands. I should be the one asking you this question. What do you think?"

"..."

The two were silent for a moment after hearing this, feeling a little confused.

That is, you don't know what it means.

And then ask us what does it mean?
What is the anti-Tiangang?
So, we don’t know what you are asking us?
Mu Shuli took out a small box, put it on the coffee table and opened it.

A ring made of a dark blue gem that looked like a black pearl was revealed inside. The base of the ring was made of gold, and it was embellished with various diamonds and silver around it. On top of the gem, there were three interlaced lines, forming a cross shape.

Maki began to introduce her precious treasure: "This ring is the jewel of destiny mentioned in the notice letter."

"The three lines above represent trust, hope, and destiny."

"That's why this gem is called the gem of destiny..."

Maki Juri introduced it this way, and it seemed that she was very proud of her gem.

Is there a vague feeling of showing off?
Maki continued: "It is because the jewel of destiny is sapphire, and Josephine also likes sapphires, so we will use it in the stage play this time. I can say that I brought my own props."

"Josephine..."

Fujino thought back to the knowledge he had memorized from his history textbook and quickly thought of the corresponding person: "Josephine Beauharnais, Napoleon's first queen, right?"

"I heard Josephine likes roses very much!"

Conan jumped up and added: "No wonder he sent roses when he sent the notice letter!"

"Well, you are worthy of being Detective Fujino. You really know..."

Fujino was not interested in such superficial words. He actually didn't quite understand what the other party's stage play meant.

Uh...this person doesn't seem to be very famous.

Well, let’s just fool him first.

Judging from her performance, this woman should be the very lonely and arrogant type.

Moreover, you can taste whether the black tea is high-end or not, and it seems that you drink a lot of high-end tea on a daily basis.

For a woman like this, she will be unhappy if you don't praise her highly.

If you are not happy about this, it will be difficult to extort the commission money later.

Fujino thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I heard that there was a very good stage play recently, so I remembered Josephine. I seem to have heard that the actress who played this role is a very beautiful beauty in both acting and appearance."

"So this is ah!"

Makuri was moved by these words, "Come to think of it, the role of Josephine that I played is quite famous recently. I didn't expect that you have even heard of Detective Fujino."

"Yeah yeah!"

Fujino nodded in agreement, and said with a sincere and somewhat regretful look: "I heard my friend mentioned it and wanted me to go with him, but it seems that I have a lot of commissions today, so I don't have time to go."

"How can this be possible? It would be a shame not to take a look."

Makiri said with a smile, looking at her agent Yaguchi next to her.

Yaguchi: "...?"

Maki Shuli: “…”

She took a deep breath and said, "Take out the tickets."

"Oh!"

"You are really slow..."

Makuri sighed silently, snatched the two envelopes from Yaguchi's hand, and handed them to Fujino: "My performance of Josephine will be at the Theater Universe in Shiodome District. If you have time, please come."

"Cough hum!"

At this time, Conan suddenly coughed: "Hey, Brother Fujino, what's going on with Kaito Kid?"

Fujino: "..."

I finally managed to change the subject but you brought it back again!

By this time, Maki Shuli had also recovered from his shock.

He asked Fujino, "Yes, Detective Fujino, how should we interpret the contents of Kidd's letter? I heard that his warning letters usually have the location and time of the crime."

"Well...that's true."

Fujino stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

Thinking of the secret code in the world of science, Fujino cursed MMP in his heart.

Each of them is a riddle solver who makes up questions according to his or her mood.

The kind that I can’t necessarily explain even if I come here…

I understand!
Why does Kuroba Kaito, the Dogecoin, come up with such a complicated code?
Fujino complained in his mind, then asked, "The theater you're performing in should have a play of Romeo and Juliet, right?"

Makiri thought for a moment and said, "As for Romeo and Juliet, our opening performance will be this scene."

"In that case, it might be related to the theater?"

Fujino thought for a moment and asked, "When will your performance end?"

"Today is another show, I won't be participating."

Makiri explained, "Tomorrow will be the last day of the performance."

"That's it..."

Fujino thought about it and took out his cell phone.

He couldn't figure out what this bird code meant, so he threw the question directly to Hiroki: "Hiroki, help me explain this code. Kaito Kidd will take action tomorrow." "......?"

"Brother Fujino, please don't use my computing power for weird things, okay?"

"Guide me quickly."

"understood……"

Hiroki reluctantly allocated some computing power and carried out some deductions.

Then, Fujino put away his phone: "Ahem, I just searched and I probably know when Kidd will take action."

"Victor Bravo corresponds to 22 and 2 in NATO's letter code. The interlaced flying of 26 letters represents the twenty-six letters of the alphabet. Twenty-two plus two equals twenty-four. If we look at the time, it shouldn't be today. So the dividing line between today and tomorrow is most likely tomorrow."

"In the beginning, it is the location, as the theatre universe that opens with Romeo and Juliet, that is the place where the action is to take place."

"He must have had the intelligence before he took action, and he must have known that you would not be performing today."

"Based on this deduction, Kidd will definitely steal the gem of destiny in the theater during tomorrow's performance."

"..."

The two were stunned by Fujino's reasoning.

However, Haibara Ai and Conan had dead eyes.

Conan even complained in his heart: "Could it be that Fujino is possessed by Uncle Maori?"

No one would believe such outrageous reasoning, right?

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Mu Shuli believes it.

She smiled and clapped her hands, "As expected of a famous detective, you figured out the location and time easily!"

Although the agent next to her didn't understand, she could only applaud along when she saw her actors clapping.

"Where, where..."

Fujino crossed his arms over his chest: "Actually, all of this is written in the notice letter. I just pieced it together a little bit."

"I have one more favor to ask."

Maki Shuri then said, "Although I have called the police, they don't know what the code means, and they don't seem to be very reliable."

"Could you, Detective Fujino, help me protect the jewel of my destiny?"

"Well..."

Fujino touched his chin. "I mainly deal with criminal gangs, murderers and the like. In fact, I don't really care about thieves like Kaito Kidd who don't hurt anyone. I had a problem with Kaito Kidd before only because someone entrusted me to protect a treasure..."

Maki Shuli immediately understood the meaning of this sentence.

Simply put: no money, no job.

The agent next to him said, "Two million yen commission, what do you think?"

"Well..."

Fujino touched his chin, sighed, and said helplessly: "To be honest, the lowest amount of the cases I have received so far to prevent Kaito Kidd is 5 million yen. For example, the commission of Suzuki, I can't tell you the specific details, but it is more than 10 million. After all, the commission depends on the value of the object to be protected."

"However, considering the extraordinary significance of Suzuki's black pearl, the commission money cannot be considered standard..."

"How about this, 4 million yen."

Fujino showed a reluctant expression and sighed, "It will be very troublesome to fight against Kaito Kidd. Since Miss Maki just gave me the ticket, I'll charge one million yen for the ticket."

"no problem."

Maki Shuli responded without changing his expression.

Fujino nodded when he saw this: "But as for confidentiality, I guess it's impossible to keep it a secret this time."

"I know. After all, the other party is Kaito Kidd."

"In that case, let's sign the contract and pay the commission in advance..."

Fujino nodded, stood up and prepared the contract, while glancing out the window.

Quietly resting his gaze on a white dove.

…………

After seeing off the actress, I received a deposit of one million yen.

Fujino was downstairs, watching Miss Mu's car drive away, and he was in a pretty good mood.

Conan had been following behind, and after seeing the two men finally leave, he couldn't help but complain: "Hey, Fujino, that code you mentioned, you just made it up, right?"

"How can this be called fabrication?"

Fujino said seriously: "Just tell me if it makes sense or not. It's in the Nordic code name."

"..." Conan was silent for a moment after hearing this.

He curled his lips and thought to himself: You will know how ugly it will be when Kaito Kidd doesn't act according to the time you guessed!
Then, he saw Fujino took out his cell phone, dialed some number, and said, "Xiao Jiji, did you send a notice letter to an actress today?"

Conan: "..."

Oh no, I almost forgot that this guy is in cahoots with Kaito Kidd!
Damn it, why didn’t I see the cell phone number he broadcasted!
Conan looked resentful, staring intently, and even ran over to eavesdrop.

Seeing this, Fujino took out a pair of headphones from his pocket and put them on his ears.

"..."

If you don’t allow eavesdropping, then don’t allow eavesdropping!
You think I want to eavesdrop?!

Conan smacked his lips, turned around and walked towards the Maori Detective Agency across the street.

He secretly swore in his heart that he must find an accomplice to deal with Fujino, the detective who colluded with the criminals.

Fujino stared at Conan for a while, then said to the other end of the phone: "Wait a minute, I suspect I have a bug on me, don't let it get exposed."

"???"

Fujino returned to his room, took off all his clothes, threw them into the bathroom, then changed into pajamas and came out of the bathroom.

It's not that he's cautious.

The main reason is that Conan's habit of dropping bugs everywhere is obvious to everyone.

Kuroba Kaito's voice came from the other end of the line: "So, what does a little penis mean?"

"Isn't it disgusting to use such a tone?"

"There was someone just now, Douzi, don't mind it."

Fujino paused, then continued: "Besides, I don't mind you letting your little pigeon spy on me..."

Hearing this, Kuroba Kaito was confused: "Why did I stand you up? What did you say? Why would I spy on you?"

Fujino was speechless: "I saw the small camera on the pigeon clearly!"

"I don't know if I installed surveillance cameras in your house, but you definitely monitored me just now!"

"Tell me, do you often use this trick to do something perverted?"

"Poor little pigeon was actually used by you like this..."

This time it was Kuroba Kaito who was speechless: "What a perverted thing!"

Fujino said in a serious tone: "I don't say such obscene things. I can't bear to see such obscene things."

"..."

Kuroba Kaito was silent for a moment after hearing this, and finally sighed and silently chose to accept it: "So, what is the matter that you called me for?"

"Of course I'm asking you what the code means..."

Fujino said bluntly: "I can't figure out your code."

"Yo yo yo..."

Kuroba Kaito's tone turned mean: "There are still codes you can't decipher..."

"Yeah, I've always been terrible at secret codes."

A smile appeared on Fujino's face, and he clenched his fist, which then made a crackling sound. "I can't figure out your code, but if I can't figure out the code, can I still figure you out?"
