The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1264 This kid is also getting into a high school too.
Xiaolan thought about it and realized that her father often spent all his living expenses, which made him worried.

There was a time when Dad squandered all the commission money by taking on random jobs, so he asked Mom and a senior colleague for help. When it came time to divide the money, the senior colleague gave up some of it.

That's how life can be sustained.

Otherwise, I really don't know how I would get through this.

Life is tough, Xiaolan sighed.

She thought about it and realized that it was very unreasonable to be able to get a large commission by doing some inexplicable things...

Xiaolan frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, he murmured to himself, "This plot really does resemble something like the Red-Headed Society..."

"What's the Red-Headed Society?" Sonoko asked directly, "If you don't understand, just ask."

Xiaolan said speechlessly, "It's from the Sherlock Holmes stories. Someone hired a red-haired man at a high salary to stay in a room and copy the encyclopedia. In fact, during that time, that man was digging a tunnel to a bank!"

"Forehead……"

Sonoko scratched her head. "What's the connection between these two things?"

"So that's what a detective is all about."

Fujino crossed his arms and explained, "Behind anything that seems unreasonable, there is always a reasonable explanation."

"So only detectives would care about this kind of thing..." Sonoko waved her hand helplessly, "Ordinary high school girls like me have nothing to do with this kind of thing at all..."

Finally, glancing at Ran, he teased, "As for someone like Ran, she must have been assimilated by Shinichi's constant nagging."

Ran revealed her dead-fish-like, beady eyes and complained, "So, Sonoko isn't the point. The point is why that person hired that person at such a high salary to do this kind of thing!"

As she spoke, she looked at Fujino, a hint of expectation in her eyes: "Senpai, you must think so too, right?"

Fujino nodded in agreement, looking thoughtful: "Yes, there must be some other reason behind it."

"After all, environmental organizations, apart from profiting from the name of environmental organizations, don't actually do anything environmentally friendly. Now that they're spending money on environmental protection, there must be something fishy going on behind the scenes."

Xiaolan: "..."

The senior's thinking is always so unique!
That's certainly true...

In short, the process was completely wrong, but the result was completely right.

Xiaolan felt a little helpless, but she didn't know what to say.
Hondo Eisuke felt the same way and immediately chimed in, "I think so too. It looks really strange."

"What's even stranger is that this job was found in an advertisement on a job search website by the person I was looking at."

Fujino couldn't help but chime in, like a straight man in a comedy duo: "Good heavens, people actually believe in these outrageous jobs on job websites. Aren't they afraid of being killed and having their organs harvested, being locked up and having their blood sold, or being used as a knife to kill people?"

"..."

Hondo Eisuke thought Fujino was going a bit too far, inwardly scoffing, "So it's just a job posting website, how could something like this happen? Killing someone to harvest organs or even using someone else to do the dirty work, that's just too outrageous..."

I think it's too extreme; it's just that Hondo Eisuke hasn't seen it before.

In this way, Fujino would have to recount his past life's experience in a telecom fraud organization.

He had the opportunity to learn about the branch in northern Myanmar, and what he said was, of course, true and real, something that had actually happened there.

In fact, recruitment websites were originally a means of recruiting people in northern Myanmar.

Offering high salaries as bait, doing inexplicable things.

What's the difference between this and a company giving new employees a 7-day trip to northern Myanmar?

Hondo Eisuke sighed in exasperation, but for the sake of his own plan, he continued to agree: "That's what I thought too, it's just too outrageous!"

"Moreover, he had never seen the employer's face. They usually communicated via email. He received the car keys three days after they started talking. The employer's condition was that the work had to continue until the employer finished the commission!"

As he spoke, he counted on his fingers: "It seems like he's been working for two weeks now."

Sonoko then blurted out something rather suggestive: "So, that person, could it be that he has some kind of garbage-collecting fetish? I've heard that some people like to collect girls' unwanted underwear and then take it back to do perverted things!"

"..."

Everyone looked at her, feeling ashamed.

She thought to herself, "As expected of you, Sonoko, you never think before you speak."

Faced with these lewd words, the innocent Xiao Chunan, Bentang Yingyou blushed immediately and hurriedly explained, "That's not true at all! That employer never touched those trash!"

"How did you know?"

Sonoko asked suspiciously, "The person you're talking about isn't yourself, is it?"

“I saw it on a daily diary website…” Hondo Eisuke was speechless for a moment. “After all, any normal person could see that this was strange, so that person took a picture and posted it online. Every time the garbage was collected, the garbage hadn’t moved.”

As he spoke, he touched his chin with feigned curiosity: "Speaking of which, it seems to be a park next to Toriya Town. Tomorrow is Sunday, shall we go and take a look together?"

"what?"

Sonoko looked speechless and said, "Why would you want to watch that kind of thing?"

Hondou Eisuke, however, said blankly, "But, perhaps there's some unknown secret behind this!"

"Even if there are secrets, it doesn't matter, right?"

Sonoko crossed her arms and said, "I'm planning to go out with Ran and my seniors tomorrow, I don't have time to deal with your business."

"Well..."

Hondo Eisuke is a little confused. Normally, this group of people should have gone with me.

Why aren't you going!
Why aren't you coming with me!
go!

Fujino watched Hondo Eisuke's anxious expression, his eyebrows blinking like a worried little girl, and narrowed his eyes:

"So it's a shame this kid doesn't crossdress..."

"Those fox-like cat eyes, and a face that's a little softer than his sister's."

"Don't tell me, really don't tell me."

"She's a dignified and adorable high school girl now."

Fujino imagined it for a moment and thought he could threaten Hondou Sakurako with something like, "You also want to know where your sister is, right?"

Hmm, that idea is a bit too perverse, let's forget about it.

Nantong, you all deserve to die!
Where can I find the fragrance of red leaves for my little boy and girl?

Are there any small red leaves that are soft?

Just as Fujino was pondering, a system notification suddenly rang in his ears, followed by a system light screen:
[A new system task has been detected. Please check your inbox!]

[System Task: A Mysterious Reward!]

[Mission Summary: Scattering beans to ward off evil spirits; a mysterious organization and a little boy—it seems like a coincidence, but it's actually a deliberate manipulation from the heavens. What is the truth behind it all?] [Mission Location: Funamoto House, Toriya Town]

[Mission Objective: Find the murderer who killed the woman]

"..."

Fujino looked at the system notification and immediately remembered the plot of this episode.

Basically, this kid, Hondo Eisuke, investigated his sister's case, found the little boy who witnessed his sister being hit by a car, and then used various methods to lure Conan and Kogoro Mouri to the crime scene.

"But now it's me?"

"I just don't know if this kid knows that people have already died there."

Fujino thought for a moment and realized that he was still two hundred short of his detective reputation, so he could try to boost it by talking to that kid Hondo Eisuke.

He immediately said, "I think it would be worthwhile to go and take a look at this matter."

"Eh, really?" Hondo Eisuke was a little surprised to hear this.

Fujino nodded in agreement and explained, "I'm actually getting quite interested in this. Maybe we'll run into cases of drug trafficking, smuggling, or even murder."

Our hall Yingyou: "..."

Although this absurd interest is a bit different from what I expected...

But it's good that you're willing to go!
…………

The next morning, Toriyashi Town.

Upon hearing that Hondo Eisuke had some new ideas, Conan immediately became alert.

Toriya Town?
Isn't this the place where the organization carried out its operations and where Kiel got into trouble?
What's this kid doing here?
So he's investigating that woman, huh? No, I have to give him a thorough investigation!
So, Conan followed.

Ai Haibara also joined in the fun.

So Fujino drove his modified Hiace to the scene Hondo Eisuke had mentioned.

Then, today wasn't garbage collection day, so that person didn't come, and the idea of ​​figuring out what was going on was dashed.

Ai Haibara glanced at the small signs on the landfill: "The garbage collection days are Monday and Thursday. Today is Sunday, so it should be tomorrow. It seems we're too early."

"What are you doing!"

Yuanzi immediately bristled.

It interrupted my plan with my senior and Xiaolan.

And then you show me this?
Is this good?
This is not good!
A wave of resentment washed over her, then she narrowed her eyes, looked at Hondou Eisuke with unusual displeasure, and said in a very annoyed tone, "So, what exactly are you thinking?"

"Why didn't you check the local garbage collection day before you came?"

Hondo Eisuke looked aggrieved: "How could I have imagined something like this..."

"After all, he didn't say when it would be collected. I thought that different towns in Tokyo all used the same date."

"..."

Sonoko looked at the boy in front of her, who looked extremely aggrieved and pitiful.

For a moment, I felt speechless.

Why do you look so pitiful, like a girl?

Damn it, the more I look at her, the more she looks like a girl!

Can you please give me eyes that don't make the connection that this guy looks like a girl?
"Toyota Hiace... This kind of modification is truly rare..."

"Could it be Fujino's?"

"Fujino-kun?!"

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.

Wearing a trench coat and holding a notebook, Takagi first looked at Fujino's Toyota Hiace, then seemed to realize something, looked at Fujino, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey, it's Takagi!"

Fujino had noticed Takagi earlier and greeted him, "Here to deal with dead bodies again, huh?"

"..."

Takagi was at a loss for words at this absurd claim, and could only think to herself, "So, what are you saying, as if we're all from a funeral home?"

"Brother Fujino?"

When Inspector Megure heard Takagi's startled reaction, he assumed that Takagi had discovered some clue.

Then I came over...

Good heavens, we've actually found the culprit!

Brother Fujino!

Megure couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Fujino is really punctual, isn't he? When it comes to murder and solving cases, he may be late, but he's never absent. He arrives on time every single moment!
"Brother Megure, you're here too. That makes sense, it would be strange if you weren't here."

"Well, you really know me well, bro..."

Megure was completely numb. All he could say was that while the cases might change, the formula remained the same.

Then, he naturally began to describe the case: "Well, this time the deceased was the lady of the house, Tatsuhito Funamoto, 36 years old. The day before yesterday, their maid went to the lady's room and found that she had been shot in the back of the head and was dead on the balcony."

"Judging from the angle at which the bullet entered, the person was at least 1.8 meters tall. The estimated time of death should be between 9 and 10 p.m. the night before the body was discovered."

"At that time, Mrs. Funamoto had just attended a friend's party. The motive was probably theft, because when she got home, the necklace and pearl bracelet she was wearing were gone..."

"Looks like a typical theft method." Fujino stroked his chin upon hearing this. "Did you find the gun? What was the serial number on it?"

"Right below the balcony, there's also a climbing hook. The gun is a copy of the Type 54, with no serial number at all. I guess it was smuggled in from somewhere." Inspector Megure said helplessly.

Fujino, on the other hand, felt helpless about the soil replicas of the 54 Black Stars.

In the game, Mihua is considered a core item.

It can only be said that this kind of thing exists in the context of the times. There are just too many of these kinds of things in this era. In the crime dramas of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Japan, if they don't appear, it's because the author is incompetent and hasn't understood the background of their story.

Most of these things are made by hand by locals along the coast, who hand-rifle the rifling, manually mold and cast the castings, and then export them to Japan through some strange and unusual channels.

Because it was handmade by a fellow villager, this thing is very cheap. It can be said to be an essential tool for traveling, murder, arson, and home security.

It is precisely because it is cheap that it is used frequently.

Besides, it's just killing someone; once you're done, you throw them away.

Besides the secret police who frequently need to use guns, there are also triad groups and those mysterious black-clad organizations that the police can't control. Who the hell would buy a Beretta 92 smuggled over for tens of thousands of dollars, enough to buy several Black Stars, as a disposable item?
