The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1294 Haibara's Disdainful Eye Roll at the Incompetent Conan
As the sun sets, red carp roll around, their white bellies turning into red scales, before finally sinking little by little into a pool of stagnant black water.

As the black night gradually descends, the morning star shines brightly in the night sky, surrounded by twinkling stars.

Under the stars, in the woods, the sound of chopping wood crackled. Figures of all sizes sat around a campfire, with two tents standing nearby, one a tent and the other a tent.

The only difference is that one of them is bigger than the other.

A large pot sat on the campfire, simmering with hot curry, and a rice cooker sat on a mat spread on the grass next to it.

Genta, holding the plate and a spoon, devoured the food in a whirlwind, his mouth smeared with yellow curry paste. He patted his stomach and exclaimed, "Delicious! It would be even better with some eel!"

"Genta, why are you thinking about eel all the time?" Mitsuhiko, who was sitting next to him, retorted immediately, "How can you put eel in curry!"

"Stop being so fussy!" Genta said, looking unconvinced. "My mom said you can put anything in curry!"

"..."

Eel in curry?
Even if you can put a lot of ingredients in curry, can you still eat this type of seafood after you've used it all up?
Eel curry? What kind of bizarre dish is this?

They're practically the same as dumplings with strawberry jam filling...

Perhaps it's because everyone has different tastes.

Well, that should be the case.

Fujino and Ai Haibara remained silent upon hearing this, silently thinking to themselves.

Mitsuhiko looked at Genta, rubbed his forehead, and then handed the plate in his hand to Ai Haibara, saying, "Haibara-kun, just a little bit more would be fine."

Ai Haibara took the plate, scooped a spoonful of rice onto it, and then used a large spoon to scoop it out of the curry pot and pour it over the rice.

"Thank you!"

"Another plate, please!" Seeing that Mitsuhiko had refilled his cup, Genta, eager to compete, handed over his empty plate as well.

"Eating too much can cause stomach aches."

Ai Haibara, with droopy eyelids, looked at the most unruly of the three and gave him this reminder.

"completely fine!"

Genta patted his chest: "I feel like I can eat all day long!"

"..." Ai Haibara narrowed her eyes, said nothing more, and silently scooped a spoonful of rice from the rice cooker next to her and put it on a plate.

She knew very well that Genta was the kind of brat who wouldn't learn his lesson unless he felt bad.

However, she had some doubts about the idea of ​​him learning from his mistakes, since in her memory, Genta, that brat, never seemed to have learned anything.

"I'm stuffed!"

Ayumi put down the plate in her hand. Compared to the other two, she appeared much quieter and only ate one bowl before stopping.

As a girl, she obviously has a small appetite.

However, Ai Haibara still looked at Ayumi with some doubt and asked, "You only ate one bowl? Is it because you don't have an appetite?"

"No, Ai-chan's cooking is delicious."

Ayumi smiled and said shyly in a low voice, "It's just that I feel like I've gained a little weight recently."

Ai Haibara glanced at her, then silently picked up the small bowl and added a little bit of rice to it.

Ayumi is still a little girl, but she has already started to care about her figure and weight.

It feels a bit like worrying unnecessarily...

But that's just how Japanese society is; it's very sick.

The importance of caring for beauty should be cultivated from a young age, and body shape should be carefully managed.

After all, in Japan, being overweight can really get you into trouble on campus.

For example, a certain pig who wins the heart of a beauty in the fantasy world of Accelerated World.

This is especially true as you get older.

Of course, no one can bully a little tyrant like Genta.

But it's all for naught; this kind of person will be subjected to passive-aggressive behavior from girls...

In Japan, being disliked by girls is equivalent to not being able to find a girlfriend, and not being able to find a girlfriend is like being half-dead, meaning your life will be nothing more than that of a shut-in.

The same applies to girls, of course.

Knowing this, she said in a doting tone, "You're growing right now, so it's normal for you to gain weight."

"If you don't eat properly, you won't grow tall."

"But being short is also cute."

Faced with Ayumi's answer, Ai Haibara felt helpless, thinking that Japanese aesthetics were beyond saving.

In the end, he could only helplessly lean close to her ear and whisper, "If you don't eat more to get enough nutrition... you won't grow up..."

Upon hearing this, Ayumi's eyes widened, her face filled with fear. She silently took the small bowl and began to eat like a chick pecking at rice.

"..."

Fujino fell silent upon hearing this, not understanding, but greatly shocked.

I don't know what to complain about, so I can only sigh to myself: "No wonder she's a little gray loli mom with three kids, she really knows how to take care of them."

At least Fujino himself knew he couldn't say such a thing.

If he dared to say that, he'd probably be arrested and jailed for at least three years the very next day, with some kind of background music playing.

Even after dinner, the fire was still crackling.

After cleaning up the remaining curry, Fujino took out his fishing rod and started fishing by the small lake.

Professor Agasa wants to remind everyone that fishing is also prohibited here.

But considering Fujino's methods and style of doing things...

He was afraid that Fujino would pull out a bomb and throw it into the lake, blowing up all the fish in the lake.

Yes, don't worry, Fujino really does have this idea.

He hasn't caught a single fish since he started casting his line.

I just saw fish leaping in the lake and dragons diving into the water...

Why is there nothing here?

Where are my fish? Who stole them all?

Fujino's face was gloomy, and he was full of resentment.

The children who had originally wanted to approach and chat with the others didn't dare to go up to them after seeing this.

The scene of the tree being chopped down is still vivid in my mind!
…………

As night fell, the firewood was still crackling.

The little ones and Professor Agasa and the others, young and old, were all asleep.

Fujino took out cumin and pepper and sprinkled them on a small, processed rabbit that was placed on top of the firewood.

He just caught this rabbit.

Why the rabbit was in the lake was something Fujino couldn't understand no matter how hard he tried.

But it's not a big problem, it was definitely the rabbit who did it!
I can't catch any fish, it must be because of this rabbit!

This rabbit ate all the fish in the lake!
Fujino came to this conclusion, so he sprinkled cumin on the cute little rabbit and roasted it over a raging fire to severely punish its heinous crime of destroying the wild environment.

To prevent the little ones from seeing this and desperately protecting the rabbit, he specifically chose to execute her late at night.

Conan woke up in the middle of the night, just as he stepped out of the tent, and then he smelled a fragrance.

Upon closer inspection, I saw that Fujino was... barbecuing?
Conan was extremely indignant about Fujino's late-night barbecue without inviting him.

You're giving me special treatment without inviting me, aren't you!

So he quietly moved closer and whispered, "What are you roasting, rabbit?"

Fujino turned his head and glanced at Conan, but didn't say anything.

Conan pressed on, asking, "Where did you get that rabbit?"

Fujino turned the roasted rabbit over: "Do you believe me if I told you I saw it crash into a big tree and die, and I'm cleaning up its body right now?"

"..." Conan gave a deadpan look, feeling that Fujino was treating him like some strange, low-IQ idiot.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it from him, Fujino told the truth: "Okay, actually I fished it out of the lake. It was still lively when I caught it, and it only fell asleep after I hit it with a wooden sword."

Conan: "..." Yeah, you caught a rabbit from the lake, it was still alive and kicking, and you just smashed it to death with a wooden sword!
Why do I feel like Fujino is starting to think I'm an idiot?
A rabbit was caught in the lake...

Is that even human language you're speaking?
Fujino was quite helpless about this.

I can fish out anti-aircraft guns from the ocean, so fishing out a lively rabbit from a lake shouldn't be a problem, right?

The facts are right in front of you; if you don't believe them, that's your problem.

Conan silently sat down next to the woodpile, looked at the rabbit on it, and said, "Everyone who sees it gets a share."

"?"

Fujino felt that Conan was somewhat shameless.

You're just going to take the rabbit I finally caught and then break it up with me?
Are you going to give me any face or not?

Fujino said calmly, "If you want to eat, go catch it yourself."

Conan put his hands on his hips, looking like he was the most powerful man in the world: "Then I'll go wake up those kids and see the little rabbit that got roasted."

"You probably don't want them to see that you roasted the little rabbit, do you?"

Fujino: "...?"

Could this kid actually have a talent for making movies with simple action sequences?

That's a bit like the "small horse pulling a big cart" scenario.

Ai Haibara came out of the tent and saw Fujino and Conan sitting together, doing something.

Then, just as she walked over, she heard Fujino's voice:
"Quickly, hold him down!"

"?"

"...?"

Ai Haibara was a little confused, but without thinking too much about it, she went straight up and had Conan pin her down from behind.

Conan tried to speak, but Fujino immediately pulled out a handkerchief and covered his mouth.

Fujino casually took out a red rope from his personal storage space and tied Conan up.

Conan struggled for a while, but couldn't break free no matter what he did, and in the end could only cry out for his handkerchief.

Seeing Fujino restrain Conan, Ai Haibara couldn't help but ask with her heavy eyelids, "What game are you two playing now?"

Fujino patted non-existent dust off his hands: "This kid found out I was roasting a rabbit and wanted to steal it for free. He even threatened to call those kids out."

Conan: "Waaaaah!"

Haibara Ai:"……"

Was this tragedy caused by a little rabbit?
The thought processes of you guys are truly incomprehensible...

No, little rabbit?

Ai Haibara rolled her eyes, finding it a bit absurd. But as she thought about it, something suddenly occurred to her. She turned to look at the barbecue on the grill and realized what it meant:
So the fragrant roasted thing was a little rabbit!
sad.

The gray cat looked at her with pity.

Back when she was feeding rabbits at school, she sensed the flavor of the recipe from Fujino's eyes.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the little bunny still couldn't escape death...

Ai Haibara felt a sense of helplessness.

But if you sniff it carefully, the little rabbit smells quite nice?

Fujino asked her, "Do you want some?"

Ai Haibara paused for a moment, recalling the little rabbit she kept at school, and felt a sense of guilt.

Moreover, eating at night makes it easy to gain weight.

Ayumi doesn't need to worry, but an eighteen-year-old girl like her definitely does.

I wonder if if I gain weight after shrinking, it will all go back to my original body size...

Well, it's best to maintain good habits before testing.

Seeing this, Fujino reminded him, "Eating rabbit meat won't make you fat. Rabbit meat doesn't have much fat, and it's rich in unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins. In fact, because it's high in protein, eating it can even help you lose weight."

"...?"

Ai Haibara silently typed a question mark.

If that's the case, then she'll have no choice but to eat it!
And so, in the quiet of the night, the two of them, one big and one small, started showing off their little bunny.

Ai Haibara ate all four of the rabbit's legs, and she would occasionally use the rabbit's legs to tempt Conan.

Conan was bound and could only watch helplessly as Fujino and Ai Haibara gnawed on the rabbit. He struggled futilely, drool dripping down his wet handkerchief, and made whimpering sounds of resentment.

Ai Haibara rolled her eyes at Conan's impotent rage, her expression full of disdain.

Who told you to be so reckless as to threaten Fujino?
Don't you know what happens to guys who threaten Fujino?

He's going against our Fujino just because of a rabbit.

I think you've been eating too many red beans and you're lovesick!

Thinking this way, she bit down even harder on the cumin-flavored rabbit leg.

…………

The next morning, as dusk was just beginning to fall, a cool breeze blew through the woods, rustling the grass and leaves.

After having a hearty dinner that night, Fujino and Ai Haibara started cooking porridge the next morning.

After all, they are all children and elderly people, so it's better to have something simple for breakfast.

As for the two of them getting special treatment... well, that's just something we can't do about it.

Well, there's only one rabbit, how can that be enough for everyone?
Conan: Haha...

Except for those dogs who want to get something for free when they see something good.

Conan: Keep swearing!

He gave him a deadpan look, feeling like these two were even more despicable than him...

Well, of course he's not a dog.

The main problem is that these two dogs are just too much.

They're such a despicable couple!

As for retaliation, uh, would you dare to retaliate?

Who knows what other underhanded tricks these two scoundrels will pull!
Just thinking about how his mouth had been watering so much last night made Conan feel dizzy and his vision blurred.

He cursed inwardly, and after breakfast, he took the little ones to play in the woods, hoping to encounter one or two cases that he could solve.

Of course, Conan decisively cut ties with Ai Haibara this time.

They simply left Ai Haibara behind and went fishing with Fujino by the lake.

Well, it's also possible that Ai Haibara is worried about encountering something bad while going out with Conan and doesn't want to go...

Sitting by the river, Fujino cast his fishing rod, looking at the still lake surface, unsure of what to say.

Air Force?
Absolutely not!
There are definitely no fish in this lake!
Well, that must be the case!

Thinking this, Fujino turned to Ai Haibara, who was sitting next to him on the folding stool, staring blankly at the water, and said, "Ai, do you think there are no fish in this lake?"

Haibara Ai:"……"

This question is like a girl asking her husband if she's pretty.

She felt a mix of emotions and said softly, "Well, you've been fishing for so long, there probably aren't any fish... maybe."

"Yes, that's what I think too."

Fujino nodded in agreement, and to confirm his guess, he took out a fishing rod from his personal space and handed it over.

Gray Cat stared at the fishing rod, unsure whether to make a move.

What if you manage to catch it?
Will he feel uncomfortable?
But it's impossible for me to catch a fish as soon as I cast my line, right?

With that thought in mind, Gray Cat took the fishing rod and cast it into the lake, deliberately choosing the shore rather than casting it out into the lake.

Then, as soon as I cast the fishing rod into the water, the surface of the water stirred.

A carp was pulled up directly, splashed around a couple of times on the grass by the lake, and then turned belly up.
