The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1298 The President's Daughter, No Wonder...

Brother Shancun Cao got the whole process right, but the result was completely wrong.

Speaking of death gods, Fujino still thinks that Conan is the real death god.

Conan completely agreed with Yamamura Misao's words: "We really need to go check on Fujino..."

"Where do you find people dying the moment they step outside?"

"..."

Ai Haibara silently looked at Conan beside her.

This khaki didn't say anything, but she always had a gloating expression on her face.

Is this possible?
So she went to Conan's side and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "We really need to find an expert to take a look."

"Yeah, you think so too, right?"

Upon hearing someone agree with his thoughts, Conan immediately blurted out his own:

"That Fujino guy, every time he goes out, something bad happens or someone dies. He must be entangled in something strange, otherwise, how could there be so many coincidences?"

Conan didn't understand what Ai Haibara was saying, and nodded with his arms crossed.

After thinking for a moment, he realized that 'Fujino Shiho of the Fujino family wouldn't say such a thing' and turned to Ai Haibara.

Then I saw her drooping her eyelids and complaining, "What are you thinking? I mean you should go and take a look."

Conan was speechless: "What do you mean I should go and take a look?"

Ai Haibara gave him a look that said, "Isn't this obvious?": "When the incident happened before, Fujino was there, and you could say it was because of Fujino. But this time, only you were there..."

She sighed halfway through her sentence and joked, "If anyone should be asked to take a look, it should be someone else..."

"Ahem, then it must have been an accident!" Conan coughed lightly, then said this without changing his expression, as if he hadn't said it himself.

Haibara Ai:"……"

"Yes, it was definitely an accident."

"..."

Hearing this, and seeing Hakiko standing there without batting an eye, Ai Haibara rolled her eyes.

For other people, it would mean going to a shrine to see a master.

It would be an accident if it happened to you, right?
This wretched Hakimi line is really a bit too flexible.

Even if a master came, it probably wouldn't be of any use...

Conan understood perfectly well; the other person was implying that he was the one with something strange on him.

But can this thing be acknowledged?
If I admit it, wouldn't I become the clown?
Conan probably thought this to himself, and nodded in agreement as if to cheer himself up.

The clown red ball on its nose is almost falling off.

…………

While the two were talking, Fujino and Yamamura had been talking for a while, mainly about the whole process of the case, which was basically going around in circles from Conan's point of view to Yamamura's point of view.

After hearing these words, Yamamura Misao's expression turned slightly strange.

Then, he turned to the other two people present and said, "You two are the male escorts who came with the deceased, right?"

"Yes."

The two nodded, readily admitting it—they simply admitted it directly.

"So this is ah……"

Yamamura Misao was momentarily at a loss for words, and could only give an awkward laugh before rummaging through his pockets.

Yamamura Misao was speechless, and Fujino was speechless as well.

He thought to himself, "You two are male prostitutes, and you're quite proud of it, aren't you?"

Despite having already witnessed it, they were still surprisingly composed when facing Xiao Cao...

That's just how it is in Japan. In Japan, being a male escort is a normal job, even a profession, even though it's no different from being a low-class hostess, a streetwalker, or a woman who skirts the edges of the law.

However, in terms of social morality, the attitude towards this type of profession is actually quite lenient, and there is not much discrimination.

Japan doesn't interfere with this; in essence, it tacitly approves of it. As for some legal restrictions...

That thing is actually useless. It's only used in critical moments. Otherwise, just treat it like a piece of scrap paper. Besides, this piece of paper hasn't been changed in a long time. Many things are different from when it was written on this piece of paper. Can you really control the illegal activities that have emerged in the Heisei era by using the sword of the old Showa era?

As long as there are no laws or regulations to restrict it, and as long as there is no crackdown or publicity to resist it, it is essentially tacitly supported; at most, it is just illegal selling.

This attitude is turning back the clock of history.

These kinds of industries are a manifestation of wildness and desire.

When these two things develop to a certain extent, they will affect the direction of the entire society and even the progress of humankind.

Although talking about humanity might seem a bit abstract and trivial, what seems trivial may actually be quite meaningful upon closer inspection. Some people can see the nuances within these concepts, while others cannot, but it is still important to explain them clearly.

When discussing desire and wildness, one cannot ignore the extreme women of contemporary Japan; they are the best examples.

Now, these people have a rather unhealthy argument, which is about the rights of Japanese women and the so-called freedom of young men that came from Europe and America.

They use these so-called slogans of freedom to mix their own interests into the narrative, evade moral condemnation, and thus gain a foothold and use their advantages to pursue their own interests.

Without specifically targeting any particular gender, but rather analyzing the essence through the phenomenon, this behavior is caused by the wildness of human desires, the loss of control over the desire for money, and the lack of morality. It is also caused by the overall environment developing too fast, and young people not having enough time to accept new moral values, thus losing control.

Simply put, it's the so-called: "Face is thinner than paper, money is higher than the sky."

When gender becomes an advantage, when a country's social atmosphere becomes one of money worship, and when one's own capital, or advantages, can easily bring absolute benefits, greed, desire, and savagery will spread and expand without restraint, eventually becoming uncontrollable.

In the struggle for the right to reproduce, the joke about a goddess having four wallets is no longer a joke.

The practice of giving people white feathers for a 40-day speed pass in order to gain a sense of superiority is an old cliché.

In the end, everyone loses trust, morality becomes a mere formality, and everyone worries about whether the other person is immoral, instinctively becoming immoral themselves. Starting from this point, people naturally stop believing in the marriage framework based on traditional moral values ​​that have existed for thousands of years.

When acts of bravery lose their moral praise, good people will no longer appear; when respecting the elderly and caring for the young becomes a tool for blackmail, fine virtues will also disappear; when marriage loses its function of moral restraint, then procreation naturally becomes empty talk.

What followed was a declining birth rate.

Of course, I'm talking about Japan.

Therefore, the more advanced and civilized a society is, the more it will have morality as a constraint outside of the law. The more mature and civilized a society is, the more it will be ashamed of this. Every excellent civilization will strictly prohibit or use moral condemnation to prevent the booming development of industries that unleash extreme savagery.

This trend, in essence, is a complete obstacle to, or even a blow to, the progress of human society.

Therefore, the more we go backward and fall behind, the more industries like this will flourish. By profiting without working, they turn people back into animals, advocate making quick money without labor, and use absolute material wealth as a means of superiority, gradually destroying the moral credibility accumulated over thousands of years.

When a once advanced country gradually becomes a place where scientists are less respected than prostitutes, and when female celebrities who make money while lying down are more popular than those who make indelible contributions to the collective, then that country has essentially turned back the clock of history.

If it's something you can talk about openly, or even be proud of...

Fujino couldn't even imagine what that world would become!

Will he despair? Fujino didn't know.

Only God knows.

Japan is at least going backwards right now.

Ten or twenty years from now, you'll regret it, but there's no going back.
Whether he regretted it or not, Yamamura Misao pulled out his notebook and asked the two of them, "Do you two know her?"

"For example, besides business matters, there's her personal situation."

Upon hearing this, Kaori Fumiya pondered for a moment and said, "Her family is quite wealthy. She often drives luxury cars when she goes out. I heard from her that she is the daughter of the chairman of a financial company, but I don't know any more details."

"So she's the daughter of the president of a financial company..."

"That's not surprising."

Upon hearing this, Fujino suddenly realized: No wonder it was cut off from left to right, it was because it violated the red line of the rules in the world of Detective Conan and was punished!

As everyone knows, being the president of a club in the world of Detective Conan is the most dangerous thing. The president's family is also in danger; they will either be killed out of spite or become murderers.

Especially when they encountered the Junior Detective League led by the Grim Reaper Elementary School student, as well as the two best friends from Teitan High School.

Now, we might have to add him too.

After hearing the details of the scene, Yamamura Misao pondered, "According to what Fujii said, we can rule out the old woman, and the children couldn't have killed anyone, so that leaves the two gigolos..."

"And the Andarai people who first discovered the body are the most suspicious!"

The Andarai man didn't react strongly to this, only weakly explaining, "Officer, although I found the body, that doesn't mean I killed it..."

“But we see, apart from the footprints in front of the entrance, there are no footprints anywhere else.” Yamamura Misao frowned at him. “Maybe you used some sharp weapon to slit Miss Ooba’s throat, then hid it, pretended to have discovered a body, and played innocent…”

“How can you say that…” Andalai sighed, arms crossed. “If I had killed him, I would have been exposed immediately. After all, how could I have disposed of such a large murder weapon? It would have been found with just a little search.”

"Yes."

Yamamura Misao nodded: "So, we'll be searching this house, and we'll also be questioning and searching all of you who are suspected..."

As he spoke, he looked at the Andalai man: "First and foremost, it is Mr. Andalai man."

The Andarai man was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this: "Well, officer, this name is not my real name, it's just a pseudonym I use in the shop."

"I see, it's like a stage name or something, right? So what's your real name..."

"What a joke!"

At this moment, before Yamamura Misao could finish speaking, Kahara Fuga interrupted him angrily, saying, "You're treating us like criminals!"

"Unless you find some evidence or the murder weapon, I won't tell you anything!"

"Sir, I advise you to be more respectful."

Yamamura Misao, holding a small notebook, looked at the uncooperative Kahara Fugashi in front of him, his brows furrowing slightly, his already somewhat resentful gaze becoming even more resentful.

This guy actually yelled at me...

Do you know I'm a police officer who can only handle a hundred or so officers?!

How dare you speak to Brother Cao like that?

But as a police officer, he couldn't do anything to the other person, so he could only remind him: "I have to warn you, what you're doing will only make me suspicious of you. After all, murderers are usually like this, just like you."

"What did you say?"

"Alright, alright, Xiao Cao."

Fujino persuaded Yamamura Misao to come back: "Let's find the murder weapon first."

Upon hearing this, Yamamura Misao nodded and then directed his men to begin investigating the house.

There's no need for a search, since only those two people are suspects.

Yamamura Misao regarded Fujino as an elder brother.

After all, something happened, and this older brother really deserved credit for him...

Last time, he was well rewarded by headquarters for his merits.

We've already secured a police inspector position; a promotion is just around the corner!

So he asked Fujino, "Fujino-nii, who do you think is more suspicious between the two of them?"

"I feel like that guy with the messy hair is a bit arrogant..."

Chicken-nest head haircut, of course, is worth it, especially for Kaori Fuga.

Fujino had nothing to say about this. He pondered and said, "I don't think Kahara Fuga is very suspicious. Judging from the time of death, he didn't have enough time to do it. Moreover, the Andarai didn't notice anything unusual when he went to the toilet. Basically, his suspicion can be ruled out."

"As for the other one, he's a bit more suspicious."

Yamamura Misao nodded in agreement, saying, "If that's the case, then he must have killed that young lady and then pretended to be innocent, claiming he wasn't the murderer..."

"But the strange thing is, where exactly was the murder weapon hidden?"

Fujino stroked his chin: "I don't know. Let's see how the investigation goes."

"It seems like this is the only way."

After Shan Cuncao's investigation, all the items in the house that might have been the murder weapon were found.

There were three kitchen knives, one sickle, one axe, and scissors.

Looking at the knives in front of him, Yamamura Misao asked Tanaka Iwae beside him, "Grandma, you don't have any other knives, do you?"

The old woman replied without hesitation, "The rest is my grandson's toolbox in the warehouse."

Upon hearing this, Shancun Cao was taken aback. As someone who was very close to the elderly in his family, he naturally put himself in their shoes: "So, Grandma, you have a grandson!"

"Yes, I have a grandson."

The old woman sighed upon hearing this, "But my grandson hasn't been home for ten years."

Upon hearing this, Yamamura Misao crossed his arms and said, "That's really going too far. He hasn't come home to see his grandmother for ten years..."

Just as the two were talking, Mitsuhiko suddenly jumped out: "Liar! I clearly saw you this morning frantically sharpening a knife with a red handle!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Shan Cuncao looked at the old woman and asked, "Auntie, where's that knife?"

The old woman turned her face away and said, "Where is there any kitchen knife? I don't remember any kitchen knife with a red handle."

Shancun Cao felt somewhat helpless for a moment.

Fujino glanced at the old woman and then suggested, "Next, let's use luminol reagent to test the blood samples. As for the other kitchen knives and such, we'll search for them later."

"it is good!"
