The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1339 Ai Haibara: The old lady is jealous.
However, upon closer reflection, since this was ultimately Fujino's matter, Ai Haibara decided to help analyze it properly.

After all, the only thing she could do to help Fujino with her intellect was to deduce the codes.

Physical strength... I guess besides cooking and housework, there's not much else left.

The opportunity is precious.

She calmly analyzed, "In this matter, you did go a little too far, and your bias was quite obvious."

Fujino said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do about it. To put it bluntly, this is just a personal grudge. It's really unreasonable to involve the child and the older sister."

At the same time, he thought to himself, 'If I don't show some favoritism, that old lady will really try to kill you. If I don't, she'll probably keep an eye on you and hunt you down.'

And now she's going to deal with our period!

'Okay, the kitten doesn't even know she has a period yet, and she's never even seen it...'

'However, no matter what, my aunt is still a relative. I can't possibly look around at all my relatives and end up not even having enough people to fill a table, can I?'

Ai Haibara crossed her arms and explained, "While it's true that seeking revenge against one's daughter and sister is unreasonable, everyone considers things from their own perspective."

"From her perspective, you are completely biased towards the murderer."

"If what you said is true, and that old lady really sees revenge as her only hope for survival, then she must have made it an obsession. People like that, who only have a goal in their eyes, don't care about right or wrong."

"I guess what she was thinking was: 'I'm the victim here, so why do you keep stopping me from getting revenge? And why do you make such sarcastic remarks, telling me to swallow this like a mute eating bitter melon? Why are you so nice to them but not to me?' and so on..."

“You didn’t show up when she was murdered, but you suddenly appeared when she wanted revenge. Of course she would feel unbalanced.”

She continued in a serious tone, "So, that old lady didn't actually have any complaints about you, and it didn't affect your request at all."

"Essentially, she simply transformed her hatred for your friend and her aunt into jealousy towards them because of your favoritism."

Fujino thought about it and realized that it was indeed true:
'Previously, I think I was calculating the older woman's favorability based solely on my own perspective, neglecting the conflict between the cat and the older woman. Even when I considered the conflict, I only considered the older woman's hatred towards the cat, without thinking about this aspect...'

'So it's because I favor our cat too much that the old lady is jealous of the cat...'

"Instead of the older woman directly expressing her dislike for me?"

Fujino's mind raced. Although on the surface there seemed to be no difference between the two, upon closer inspection, the difference was exceptionally large.

This difference is quite subtle...

To put it simply: Fujino did something that favored Haibara, which caused Momiji to throw a tantrum. The difference is whether Momiji was angry at Fujino or at Ai Haibara, and indirectly she was not happy with Fujino.

Simply put, Ai Haibara means: The old lady is jealous.

After hearing this explanation, Fujino suddenly realized: "So that's why I didn't think of that!"

"By the way, am I a psychology gynecologist or something?"

"Hmm, my gray cat seems to have better gynecological psychology skills than me..."

Fujino pondered this to himself, but then a dilemma arose. He turned to his gray cat and asked:
"So, how should this matter be resolved now?"

"I have no interest in that old lady, let's make that clear from the start."

Haibara Ai:"……"

So why did you issue a disclaimer first?
They must have figured out what I said, and then used some very bizarre logic to reason in a similar way...

She sighed softly to herself and said calmly, "There is no solution. The only way now is to address the root of the problem."

"You think you can just abandon your bias and try to please her?"

"That's impossible."

In response to Fujino's decisive answer, Ai Haibara sighed helplessly: "So, for now, we can only wait and see."

"But before that, you should agree to the conditions you promised her."

"They've already agreed to your conditions, so if you're still not being fair, then there's no way you can justify it."

"It's so unfair."

Fujino nodded in agreement: "That's true."

At this moment, Ai Haibara slightly raised her eyes, glancing at Fujino's expression out of the corner of her eye, and said softly, "But to be willing to give up something like this for you, it seems that you are more important to her than her obsession with revenge..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Fujino suddenly felt a tension in his mind.

He detected a hint of jealousy in his own cat's tone.

Oh no, the cat's jealous of the old lady!

No, I have no connection with the old lady, Kitty, don't make wild guesses!
Feeling a bit confused, Fujino thought for a moment and then said seriously, "It's not that serious. I was just working with that old lady."

As he spoke, he gave a slightly disgusted look and teased Ai Haibara, "Besides, that old lady is way older than me..."

"What are you thinking about?"

"..."

Ai Haibara looked at the righteous and eloquent Fujino and fell silent for a moment.

She felt that Fujino's reaction was somewhat overreacted, as if he was trying to explain something to her.
The cat doesn't quite understand.

But thinking about it carefully, this routine seems a bit familiar, doesn't it?

…………

"Brother Fujino, why are you wearing a doctor's coat?"

The next morning, near Beika Central Hospital, Fujino was dressed in a white coat, looking like Dr. Liu. He was wearing a black suit underneath a white coat, and had a red cloth tied around his arm, which looked a little... strange.

This sight left Hondo Eisuke completely bewildered, his eyes filled with incomprehension.

Fujino-kun, why are you doing something abstract?
To this, Fujino casually replied, "Of course, it's because the role I'm currently playing is that of a doctor."

"what?"

Hondo Eisuke looked bewildered, somewhat not understanding what this meant.

He had heard that Fujino was planning to forge an identity and infiltrate the hospital.

But faking becoming a doctor or something...

Isn't that a bit too outrageous?

Hondou Eisuke remained silent, unsure of what to say for a moment.

All I could do was ask, "So, what should we do next?"

"Just go to the hospital and register. Register with me, Liu Angxing, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor on the second floor."

Do we still need to register?

"Of course I want to..."

Fujino said speechlessly, "To put it bluntly, I'm impersonating someone else right now. If I get exposed, I'm doomed."

How do you explain the fact that I know you?

"That's true..."

"That's about right. Keep wearing your women's clothes. I'll give you a diagnosis when you come in later. If I find anything serious, I'll have you hospitalized. After that, things will be simple."

Hondo Eisuke was in a daze, but he felt that what Fujino said made a lot of sense.

After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly understood something.

He got it!
So that's what Fujino-nii meant!

I don't have any illness, so naturally I can't be hospitalized, and if I can't be hospitalized, I can't investigate the situation inside.

If Fujino pretends to be a doctor and gives me a fake diagnosis, I can easily get into the hospital and investigate at will!
Thinking this, Hondo Eisuke immediately understood that Fujino-nii had impersonated a doctor for his own sake.

He was deeply moved and couldn't help but exclaim: Brother Fujino is so incredibly thoughtful!
Fujino: "..." Why does what you said sound a bit like repaying kindness with enmity?

…………

After explaining a few things to Hondo Eisuke, Fujino turned and headed to his office inside Beika Central Hospital.

Nurse Lin, the older woman, had already changed into a cheongsam and was standing next to her desk in high heels, organizing documents.

She looked up at Fujino and said calmly, "Dr. Liu, we're already overwhelmed with patient appointments today. These are the medical records of the patients who were transferred here."

"Well, I see."

Fujino nodded, took the medical record, and began scanning it.

Time flies when you're in the hospital.

After diagnosing a large number of patients whose symptoms were not immediately noticeable, the goal was to make those patients' symptoms immediately noticeable.

Hondo Eisuke, disguised as Hondo Sakurako, finally got his turn and arrived at Dr. Liu's office.

Vermouth frowned immediately when she saw Sakura Hondou in front of her.

She felt that those eyes were so incredibly similar...

Could this be Rena Mizunashi?
Um, no, they're not. They're different heights and body types.

Just as the older woman was pondering, Fujino spoke first: "Ms. Hondo Sakurako, is that right?"

"Let me check. There are no medical records. Do you feel unwell anywhere?"

"Yes, it's me..."

Hondo Eisuke nodded and said in a low voice, "I don't know why, but lately I feel weak all over, have pain all over my body, and feel dizzy."

"Is that so?"

Fujino frowned and thought for a moment: "Come over and take my pulse."

"OK……"

Hondo Eisuke extended his hand, which Fujino took. The moment Fujino placed his hand on Fujino's, the smile on his face vanished instantly.
"Miss Hondo Sakurako, how old are you this year?"

"Seventeen years old..."

"Only seventeen?"

Fujino frowned and clicked his tongue in surprise.

Vermouth, who was standing next to her, was a little confused for a moment.

What exactly did this guy figure out?
Why are you asking my age?

Isn't it on the medical record?

Fujino sighed and said, "I'll prescribe a medicine for you. Don't bother with Western medicine for now. I'll take care of the rest."

"Nurse Lin, please arrange for her to be admitted to the hospital."

"Oh……"

Vermouth grew increasingly curious about what was going on with this little girl named Hondou Sakurako who looked similar to Rena Mizunashi.

Fujino's change in expression is quite rare...

However, as a professional actress, she still dutifully followed Fujino's arrangements.

Minor disagreements are minor; tasks still need to be done seriously.

After our elderly nurse, Lin, left, Hondo Eisuke couldn't help but become curious:

"Brother Fujino, what illness did you give me?"

"It's a chronic illness. After taking the medicine I gave you, you'll need to stay in the hospital for a while."

"Is that so?"

Hondo Eisuke thought about it and felt that Fujino-nii had made good arrangements. Then he asked, "By the way, was that Nurse Lin also someone you found, Fujino-nii?"

"Yes, she's my assistant."

Fujino nodded. "She's been a big help to me when I'm carrying out cases in shady places. Don't tell anyone."

"Yes, I understand."

Although it's a bit outrageous, our Hondou Sakurako nodding her head still looks damn cute.

Sakurako Hondo's hospital room was quickly arranged, right next to Fujino's office.

Fujino turned around and began to fetch medicine from the medicine cabinet behind him.

After dealing with Hondo Sakura's matter, the older woman frowned and asked curiously, "What's going on with that Hondo Sakura? Why do you look so suspicious?"

"What, are you calmed down?"

To this, the elderly woman simply replied calmly, "How could I dare? I wouldn't dare to be angry with you, after all, you are a doctor."

"How can a nurse take her anger out on a doctor?"

Upon hearing this, Fujino knew that the old lady was still being difficult.

Immediately, he stopped paying attention to those things and simply explained, "That little girl named Hondo Sakurako..."

"She's pregnant."

"what?"

"She's pregnant, carrying a human baby."

"..."

Vermouth paused for a moment, her mind filled with shock: Are young people these days really this extravagant?
At the same time, she also understood why they were being so mysterious.

So that's how it is...

Seventeen years old, that's true.

The older woman was a little unsure what to say.

All I could do was continue to ask, "So what's the meaning behind this arrangement?"

While preparing the medicine, Fujino calmly explained, "She's only a month pregnant, so we can still use traditional Chinese medicine to manage it. But given the nature of this, it's only right that she rests for a few days to recuperate."

"After all, Western medicine... can be very harmful to the body, and it takes several months to do it. It's not appropriate to make this young girl go through that."

"If we can keep it a secret, then we should."

"..." The older woman paused for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to call the police?"

"...?"

Upon hearing this, Fujino looked at the old lady and silently typed a question mark.

You and I, two people currently on a mission for a criminal organization, should we call the police?

Auntie, you can't be that kind, can you?!
Fujino paused for a moment, unaware that the old lady had actually brought up the matter.

After a moment's thought, he said helplessly, "This child is already married, and the child is the biological father's. Who should we arrest if we call the police?"

Belmode: "..."

I almost forgot, in Japan, girls can get married at sixteen.

She fell silent, unsure of how to best express her dissatisfaction.

All I can say is that this is the true value of being considered an adult at twenty and getting married at sixteen.
