The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1253 Is this twenty-eight years old?

Gray Cat frowned, feeling that something was not right.

But then I thought, Fujino seemed to know everything, so it was no big deal.

Well, after all, he often goes out to help clients catch their spouses cheating.

If you think about it, this seems to be a very normal thing.

As Fujino looked at the pink room in front of him, he found it difficult to remain calm.

Letting three men live in a room like this, with a large double bed or something...

This girly rose pink, this mood lighting, what kind of weird PLAY are these?
The same goes for Brother Maori and Hakuba Tan, as well as Conan.

Well, in his current form, he is not a man in any sense of the word.

The girls’ rooms are more normal. This romantic-style room looks quite normal if the pink is removed, and the layout is the same.

After showing everyone the rooms, the hotel owner took out the room cards for two rooms and explained, "These are the room cards for our hotel. To prevent theft, the room cards here will replace the data of the hotel rooms at 12 o'clock every night."

"That means the previous room card can no longer be used."

"So, please remember to go to the front desk to change your room card in time."

In the end, the boss still didn't say what the story was.

Even if he was asked, he would only respond with a serious expression.

This made several people feel a little confused.

Although no one knew what the pink room meant in the end, the men still moved into the pink room and gave the more normal rooms to the girls.

…………

At this time, pink entered the weird room.

Two of the four people sat on the sofa, and two sat on the bed, staring at each other. The atmosphere was silent for a while.

After all, in this kind of situation, it is really awkward and difficult to say anything.

"So, Old Ma, what do you think of Red Bearded Santa Claus?"

Fujino spoke, approached Hakuba and brought up the topic.

"not sure."

Bai Ba Tan shook his head slightly. "Besides the fact that the murder took place at night, there was also a reason for blasphemy or something. I don't know much about the rest. It's really a bit vague."

"And that red-bearded Santa Claus or something..."

“I have absolutely no idea.”

Maori Kogoro also followed up and said, "The only thing that can be confirmed is that someone is going to kill someone at night. But think about it, the other party is going to kill someone, so it's not reasonable for us detectives to reveal too much."

"Hey, Hualien! Hualien!"

"Where did you go?"

At this moment, a woman's scream suddenly came from outside the door.

Conan was the first to stand up when he heard the noise, and he pushed open the door. Everyone followed him up to join in the fun and want to hear what was going on.

Then, I saw an old woman wearing a white plush coat. She looked very old and was shouting.

The person who was called was a pretty girl with delicate looks, long black curly hair, wearing a sweater and a long skirt.

Maori Kogoro recognized the old woman in front of him at a glance: "It turns out to be Bandai Suzue..."

"you know?"

Fujino Hakuba and Conan both looked at Mouri Kogoro.

Compared to them, it is obvious that Brother Maori, who reads gossip all day long, understands the entertainment industry better.

Maori Kogoro coughed lightly, then explained: "Of course I know her, this is the once famous Bandai Suzue!"

"Although she hasn't been active recently, she was a well-known star in the past. People of our generation just happened to catch up with her when she was at her peak!"

"I heard that after retiring, she went behind the scenes to shoot stage plays. I didn't expect that today's stage play was directed by her."

As he said this, he glanced at the young girl beside him: "As for that one, it should be Wen Yue Hua Lian."

"I heard she's a young actress of the new generation, but because she's acting in stage plays, she's not very famous."

"But she does look very cute..."

Fujino: "..."

Why does this script feel familiar?

It's you, the retired prison artist Dongyang Canary!

Conan showed dead fish eyes: "So Uncle Maori, you understand him because she is cute, right?"

"What did you say, you little brat!"

Kogoro Mori immediately became unhappy and hit him on the head for telling the truth.

Fujino was used to seeing these two doing funny things every day.

He turned and looked at the two men.

One is called Fumitsuki Karen and the other is Bandai Suzue.

By the way, is there any relationship between this Bandai and that Bandai?

Wen Yue Hua Lian was obviously the type who was weak and submissive. She didn't dare to say a word when Bandai Lingjiang scolded her. She just apologized silently: "I'm sorry, Bandai teacher!"

"Really? Where have you been hanging out again?"

"I'm organizing the props I'll need tonight..."

As she spoke, she handed the notebook she was holding to the other person: "This is the script for tonight."

"We'll look at this kind of thing later."

Bandai Suzue took the script and obviously didn't intend to read it.

Bai Ma touched his chin and said, "It's going to be performed soon, but we've only just finished writing the script?"

"Her memory is amazing."

Maori Kogoro said proudly, "It is said that she can memorize all the contents of the script just by scanning it once, so she doesn't even need to look at the script twice before the performance begins."

"Please don't embarrass her."

At this time, a middle-aged man in casual clothes walked up slowly and said, "You are so old now. If you get angry again, your face will have more wrinkles. Then the huge amount of maintenance money you spend every year will be wasted."

"..."

Bandai Suzue looked at the man in front of her and narrowed her eyes. She was obviously displeased with the word "old" he had said, but she didn't say anything.

The man took out a package and said, "By the way, there is a package for you at the front desk. I picked it up for you on the way."

"Oh?"

Bandai Suzue was stunned for a moment, then looked like a primary school student who had received a certificate of honor, and whispered, "It's really troublesome. No matter where I go, I am chased by gifts..."

But before she could finish her words, she threw the package out.

With a snapping sound, a bloody cat's head fell out.

Looking at the bloody cat's head, everyone around was shocked.

Especially the eyes, which were rolled back. It was obvious that before becoming a prison cat, the real cause of death of this cat was suffocation.

The cat's head was chopped off after death.

Fujino narrowed his eyes and looked at the cat's head on the ground. Suddenly, he felt a little physically uncomfortable and his eyes became sharp.

Then he turned to the others and asked, "By the way, did you see the pattern on the package just now?"

"Yeah, I saw it." Conan responded.

The White Horse Detective said in a deep voice: "Red Santa Claus, red beard, it must be the Santa Claus with red beard."

Maori Kogoro:"……"

No, what did you see?
Why didn’t I see it?
"Oh no!"

“The show’s green room has been trashed!”

Before Maori Kogoro could react, the cat's head had just landed on the ground when the hotel owner ran over and shouted loudly. Upon hearing the noise, several members of the troupe ran downstairs quickly, and Fujino and his friends followed them naturally.

…………

The lounge for the performance had become a mess.

All the mirrors were smashed, high heels and cosmetics were scattered all over the floor, and the clothes hanging in the lounge were torn into pieces. At the same time, it was splashed with red paint. On the wall at the end of the lounge, it was written: "Those who do not listen to my advice will eventually fall into the endless hell of repentance! - Red Bearded Santa Claus."

"This is simply a naked provocation..."

Kogoro Maori looked at the red words in front of him and sighed.

"It is indeed a provocation." Bai Ma pondered, "Besides, it seems that this red-bearded Santa Claus has a grudge against the people in this troupe."

Conan looked at the words on the wall, crossing his arms in thought.

Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking quickly in his mind: "But if he really wants to kill someone, there is no need to do this."

"Why?" asked Kogoro Mouri puzzledly.

Fujino whispered, "From now on, everything he did was to stop the troupe's performance. That's the motivation and purpose. As for the death threats, they were also ultimately intended to stop the performance."

"As for the rest...I can't say for now."

"Maybe it's to confuse people or something?"

Nishimura also arrived at the scene at this time. After looking at the words on the wall, he suggested: "Ms. Bandai, why don't we stop the performance..."

"no!"

Bandai Suzue immediately and excitedly rejected the idea: "Cancelling the performance because of such a small matter would play into the hands of that mischievous guy, wouldn't it?"

"But……"

"No buts, today's performance must go on!"

Fujino looked at the unusually determined fat woman in front of him and was speechless for a moment, but then he thought about it and felt that what she said made some sense.

But that only applies to the normal worldview.

In the world of science, if someone wants to kill you, they will really kill you.

None of this is a joke.

Unless the other party’s real purpose is something else.

"If it happens..."

"Nishimura, don't insist."

"Since you insist, then proceed according to the original plan."

Nishimura wanted to say something, but at this moment, Naruto Fuwa came in from behind, holding a cigarette in her mouth, looking very quiet.

She first stopped Nishimura who was about to continue arguing.

Then he turned to Bandai Suzue and said, "But, whether it's backstage, in the prop room, or even behind the stage, police forces must be deployed. Is that ok?"

"of course can!"

Bandai Lingjiang's forehead was covered with sweat, and his eyesight was a little erratic, but he still said firmly: "It seems that the old man doesn't understand my character!"

"I am the type who becomes more courageous after facing setbacks!"

"Hualien, go prepare your costumes immediately. You must catch up with the performance tonight!"

"Hurry up, don't dawdle!"

Fujino looked at the people in front of him and felt deeply the powerlessness in the horror movie.

Well, we already know that something will go wrong but we still have to continue.

It would be a shame for your persistence if one or two didn't die.

Hakuba Tan looked at Fuwa Narumi who was deploying, and couldn't help but sigh: "This Fuwa Superintendent is really sharp and has a good ability to judge the situation. I can only say that he is worthy of being a Superintendent."

"Of course."

Nishimura next to him couldn't help but sigh: "After all, Superintendent Fuwa became a superintendent at the age of 28. He is one of the best detectives in Hokkaido."

"You told me this was twenty-eight?"

"Well, Inspector Fuwa is indeed a bit mature."

"Forget it, you're a top student in the professional group, right?"

Fujino thought about it and realized that at the age of 28, the only possibility for him to become a superintendent was that he was in the professional group. After all, this was a gilded rank that allowed those who joined the group to be promoted to inspector general upon employment.

But at the age of twenty-eight...

Fujino looked at Narumi Fuwa, who looked like a middle-aged man, and always felt that she was a little abstract.

Sato is also 28 years old, right?
Why is there such a big difference in appearance and police rank...

I guess it's directly proportional?

So, could it be that the hard curls caused premature aging?
Fujino thought about the daily workload of the Metropolitan Police Department, and suddenly felt that Sato was unique in that he did not look old. Instead, his appearance was more in line with his impression.

After all, Brother Megure, who is also working hard at his job, is now a senior high school student. Chiba is also very fat. Takagi and Shiratori, well, these two people also yawn frequently. It is estimated that they will also gain weight like Brother Megure when they reach middle age.

It can only be said that police officers in the scientific world have great development prospects and abundant opportunities to perform.

After some deployment by Narumi Fuwa, it finally landed on Nishimura's side.

Looking at the three adults and one child in front of her, she seemed to be a little dissatisfied with their plan to participate in the case, but she did not show it.

He just ordered Nishimura to take these people to take a look around, but not to do anything rash or interfere with the investigation.

Of course, Fujino has no intention of getting involved in the affairs of Red Bearded Santa Claus now. After all, even if he wants to get involved, he has no idea.

He responded and walked out of the hotel facing Xiaoxue.

Seeing this, Conan Nishimura, Hakuba and Brother Maori thought he had thought of something and chose to follow him.

But when I followed him into the snow, I saw him suddenly take out a shovel...

"..."

"What does Fujino want to do?"

"Why does it feel a bit like hiding a corpse..."

"No, why does he carry a shovel when he goes out?"

Everyone looked confused, and even noticed that he brought a shovel with him when he went out.

However, how the shovel was taken out was ignored.

Fujino waved the shovel in his hand and immediately inserted it into the frozen soil, digging out the frozen soil neatly.

After digging a few shovels, he took out the cat's head wrapped in a handkerchief from his pocket, put it into the deep pit, and then filled the soil back.

"..."

Everyone looked at Fujino's operation with confusion.

No, where is the prison cat's head in your hand?

What are you doing with this thing?

After Fujino finished doing all this, he walked back to the hotel with his hands in his pockets: "Hey, what are you still doing here? Do you want to stay with the prison cat for a while?"

"They should have heard the noise and come out of the hotel by now, so go back quickly."

"Oh!"

Several people suddenly realized after hearing this.

So this is why Fujino is like this.

Several people took a deep breath and felt that the gap was a bit big. They did not expect that the prison cat thrown on the ground would cause such a great psychological trauma to the girls. After all, they had seen real human heads before and had long been used to it.

As for the cat head, well, when passing by, I suddenly found one. Just thinking about that scene can make you imagine how exciting it would be.

Moreover, girls are emotional creatures. When they see a jailed cat with only a head left, their first feeling must be fear, followed by overflowing sympathy, sadness, and so on.

Fujino buried the cat's head directly, which put an end to their thoughts.

I can only say that Fujino is really meticulous...
