The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1262 The Diligent and Eager-to-Study Red Leaf

Something was found inside the Superintendent of Police's villa...

This is so exciting!

This kind of stimulation is something that no one else can handle, but Hakuba Saguru certainly can't.

After all, he's not stupid; how could he not know how exciting this is?

As a detective, he was very quick-witted; how could he possibly do something like shouting, "My father is Zhang Erhe"?
Although this kid does like to show off about this all the time.

But his pretentious act is only for his second-generation cronies like us.

In front of the news media, this kid, having been trained by Fujino's Hunyuan Xingyi Interview Technique, could apply for a diplomatic spokesperson position without any problems.

…………

The press conference in Hokkaido was also held very quickly.

Fujino was called over and presented with a certificate of appreciation, the title of honorary citizen of Hakodate City, and a cash reward of five million yen as an internal bonus for assisting the Hokkaido headquarters in cracking a major drug case as an advisor to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

Fujino: "..."

Damn it, six billion yen, and this is all the reward they give? Are they trying to fob off a beggar?
Fujino was speechless at the meager reward.

You Japanese police are really picking your noses!
Aomori gave me 300, so you're giving me 500, right?
Is this all the ambition you have?
Give those guys in Aomori Prefecture a thousand to smash them to death!

How dare you! Don't be so bold as to think like that!

Fujino thought to himself, but from the perspective of the police force, five million yen was already a lot of money, given in the name of the authorities.

You should know that they don't usually offer rewards for reporting things.

After all, Japan doesn't have a reward system for reporting whistleblowing.

Of course, it's not that there aren't any.

There is still a transportation subsidy, and a thank-you note will also be given.

Hmm, this operation seems a bit familiar?

Oh no, I can't continue talking about this.

Fujino's success in solving three cases has naturally caused a minor stir in Hokkaido.

However, he no longer cares much about such empty fame.

They boarded the Hongye family's helicopter and took off from the spot, preparing to return to Tokyo.

Who knows, if I stay here for a while, something outrageous might happen, like someone on the helicopter saying "MAN" or "what can I say, mamba out."

Fortunately, the legendary crash king, Lao Da, has not yet crashed.

Even if you play a crash song, the plane won't crash.

In terms of security, Hongye's products are probably absolutely guaranteed.

If the plane crashes, only the pilot might die; but if the plane crashes in Hongye, the entire pilot's family will die.

Hakuba Saguru also returned to Tokyo on the Koyo family's plane.

After Fujino's words reminded him, he dared not continue living in that villa.

Don't tell anyone else that they've discovered anything.

If he discovers something, he'll probably be so curious that he can't help but delve deeper.

We can't really investigate everything, can we?

What if they actually find something?

…………

After returning to Tokyo, the case was dropped.

The world seemed to become peaceful in an instant.

School holidays, after the trip ended, naturally led to a return to school.

Fujino immediately recognized his expertise.

No wonder everyone says it's the world's fault.

This whole mess is truly the world's fault.

However, he also reaped a fairly good harvest this time. In addition to the cash that the police deposited into his bank account, he also replenished his balance in the system:
Current Japanese Yen Balance: 260 million yen

[Detective Coins: 25]

[Main Profession: Detective Reputation: 9800 | 10000]

[Freely allocated experience: 4000...]

"Just two hundred points away from breaking through again..."

As Fujino stared at the progress bar, which was just two hundred points away from being full, he felt a little itchy inside.

How about taking Conan for a stroll around town?
However, upon reflection, he realized that the rice flower people were innocent, so he abandoned the idea.

Schools in the world of Detective Conan started, and naturally, Momiji's school in Kyoto also started at the same time.

Using this as an excuse, she decided to return to Kyoto to attend school.

Ai Haibara was puzzled, wondering if there was something wrong with her head.

They've been lingering here for so long...

Suddenly you've figured it out?

Hongye is certainly not stupid; she has her own subtle manipulations behind her actions.

There's a Chinese folk saying that goes something like this.

As the saying goes, those who seek rare and precious things are the heroes...

Yes, rare things are the truly good things.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder...

People generally only start to value things after they've lost them, can't get them anymore, can't touch them, or can't get them anymore.

Hongye felt that this was also the case.

You'll definitely get tired of being together all the time.

Only by constantly keeping things fresh can you go further!
This group of people couldn't even understand this principle. Hongye proudly thought that her micro-management skills were already at the atmospheric level.

Hongye did not leave on the first day of school; to express her reluctance to leave, she specially chose the first day of school.

Coincidentally, on the same day, Fujino also received a job to catch someone cheating. The amount was large, but the task was very simple.

Moreover, the location for catching them in the act of adultery happened to be right next to the apartment where Momiji had temporarily stayed after arriving in Tokyo.

This……

Fujino had no choice but to see him off.

…………

On the rooftop helipad of Hongye Apartment.

White clouds drifted across the sky, and most of Tokyo was visible, exuding an air of extravagance and wealth.

The sunlight shone on the dark blue top, and the long skirt swayed slightly in the wind. The thick blue fabric was stretched high, making the already stretched fabric appear even taller and more majestic.

As Fujino gazed at the autumn leaves, arms crossed, he thought to himself: "Light is such a mysterious thing. The visual impact is completely different from different angles..."

Perhaps that's the magic of light.

Praise the sun!

He looked away, took a deep breath, and gazed at Hongye, who had her hands behind her back, and couldn't help but ask, "So, you didn't arrange my request, did you?"

"Ok?"

Hongye tilted her head, looking utterly confused and bewildered: "What arrangements?"

As she spoke, a soft, sweet smile appeared on her face: "Fujino-kun, I have no idea what you're talking about..."

"..."

Fujino initially suspected that the request was somewhat of a honey trap, and that the person was trying to frame him.

Lots of money and little work? Isn't this pure fraud?

He had no doubt about Hongye.

However, he now has reason to suspect that the person who asked him to catch them in the act of adultery must have some connection with Hongye.

If the money wasn't paid by Hongye, it must have been taken from her allowance.

Fujino's dead fish eyes were exposed without any attempt to hide them.

"Okay, okay~"

Seeing this, Hongye stopped joking and chuckled softly, "I just wanted to spend some time alone with you..."

As she spoke, a hint of melancholy crossed her eyes: "After all, since we came to Tokyo, it seems like we haven't had much time alone together..."

"?"

Fujino silently typed a question mark, feeling that her words were somewhat inappropriate.

What does it mean to be alone together?
"What else do you want to do?" Fujino's eyebrow twitched, and he couldn't help but ask, "So, what exactly do you mean by 'being alone'?"

"Well... that's it."

A blush spread across Hongye's fair face, her eyes darted around slightly, and finally, she spoke softly and weakly, "It's... that one from before, that one."

"That one from before...?"

"The previous Q&A questions..."

"I have exams coming up soon, can you help me?!" (?)
"..."

Fujino paused for a moment, looking somewhat speechless.

So, are you trying to get a big Q&A just by looking at this?
So, she's quite innocent and eager to learn?
But thinking about it, for a normal person, it's indeed quite embarrassing to ask someone to test you before an exam, and it's hard to understand.

If it's between classmates, and the atmosphere is right, then it's fine if one of them suddenly launches a surprise attack by asking questions.

But this……

Fujino felt that the current situation was a bit awkward.

Last time, the other side resorted to sneak attacks without any sense of martial ethics.

This time, I'll just say it directly...

To be honest, it's a little difficult to operate.

But why the question and answer section?

The last time, and the time before that, you both caught me off guard with questions, didn't you?

If you still want it now, isn't it because this little glutton has become addicted to asking me questions?
Hongye twirled her slightly wavy, fluffy short hair, which was brown with a hint of gold, and said with a girlish innocence, "Before, something happened suddenly. It was such an important exam, but I didn't do well. Well, I want to try again. Maybe I can do better."

"It's quite normal for couples who have a very good relationship to have problems with each other before exams, right?"

As she spoke, she raised her eyes, revealing a hint of expectation and a slightly earnest expression that seemed like she was trying to hypnotize herself.

Fujino fell silent.

Judging from the current situation, even without a confession, their relationship is practically no different from that of a boyfriend and girlfriend.

It should be said that some things just happen naturally.

As for the tests and such that precede these exams.

Fujino coughed lightly: "Your suddenness... I'm a little, how should I put it, awkward, okay?"

“Indeed…” Hongye lowered her head, “It’s a little embarrassing…”

Fujino suggested, "Then, shall we take a moment to think about it?"

"Hmm, let's think about it for a bit..."

"Um, well, like before?"

"that……"

Who will ask the first question?

Fujino hesitated for a moment. All he could say was that a theoretical giant was still just a theoretical giant. These kinds of academic questions were usually raised by Koyo. It was still a bit awkward for him to raise questions on his own initiative.

Needless to say, Hongye is an innocent and naive young girl.

They looked at each other for a moment, feeling a bit awkward. Suddenly, they seemed at a loss, and at the same time, they felt their breathing become a little difficult, as if they couldn't catch their breath.

Fujino took a deep breath to ease his tension, while inwardly cursing himself for being just like Xiao Chunan: "Damn it, this little girl has already ambushed me twice with her questions, what's there to be nervous about?"

"Stop being a coward! Just ask question A directly and get back at them!"

"She can launch a sneak attack, and so can I!"

"I'll give her a math problem to drive her crazy!"

Thinking this through, Fujino strengthened his resolve, took a deep breath, and gave a bear hug as if lifting a child high in the air!
(つ*▽)つ(ω)
"thump!"

"Eh?!"

Before Hongye could even catch her breath, she felt the other person use even more force.

She felt her face burning hot, and she even had trouble breathing.

Um, maybe Fujino was too forceful, and emm, he pressed on my lungs...

I feel so awful!

Setting down the red leaves, Fujino asked earnestly, "Are you ready?"

"..."

Still reeling from the shock of being hugged, Hongye was stunned and a little nervous.

It might be because the lungs are still being compressed, or it might be because the other person's problems are too difficult to solve, making them very nervous.

Her heart was pounding; she was under immense pressure.

As the one who set the questions, Fujino also felt pressure.

What should I do if my question is too difficult and she can't answer it?

Fujino still felt sorry for Momiji.

So how about we give you an easier question?

At this moment, Momiji slightly raised her head to look at Fujino, her eyelashes fluttering, her eyes filled with mist and a slightly hazy, nervous feeling. It was clear that she was a little nervous about this kind of question and answer.

At that moment, Fujino lowered his head and looked at her.

Although there were many emotions involved, it was clear that they were well-prepared.

Fujino took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "What is the product of the square root of three and a positive number that represents infinitesimals in Greek?"

"If you answer correctly, there will be a reward."

"what?"

Hongye was stunned; an expression popped into her head:

3xε=?

This is very strange. How can an infinitely small positive number be multiplied by a square root?
Something's really wrong!
Hongye shyly examined her fingertips: "I don't know how to do this..."

Fujino looked speechless: "You're an adult, you can't even do this?"

"But I really don't know how. ε can't be multiplied as a specific number..."

"Speak quickly, or don't come to Tokyo."

"Woooooo~"

The thought of her reward slipping away made Hongye anxious, and she started to cry in a panic.

I felt so wronged.

She really doesn't know how...

3xε is really difficult, okay?!

There was no mention of what ε is approximately equal to!

When Fujino saw how aggrieved she looked, he even found her kind of cute.

He then explained, "Fine, I'll just tell you the correct answer."

"Three cubed equals twenty-seven!"

The expression is: 3 × ε = 27 × ε = 27ε!

"Or rather, 3ε!"

"Why?"

"Because ε is a variable, it cannot be fixed as a single number!"

"As you should know, the only way to arrive at the final conclusion is by using the expression 3×ε=27×ε=27ε, which is 3ε."

"You're so mean! This is just a riddle!"

"Who told you to be so nervous and forget about that?"

"Waaaaah~ You're so mean!"

Seeing Momiji's aggrieved expression, her face flushed red, and even beginning to sob, Fujino felt rather helpless:
"Fine, I'll give you a reward anyway..."

"What reward?"

"I'm going to tell you a story!"

"what story?"

"I don't know the story, but I'll just tell you the whole thing."

Hongye stopped crying and started laughing; her sobbing disappeared, and she became happy.

My mood improved considerably.

She did not dwell on her inability to answer Fujino's question and continue to be sad.
