The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1360 Gray Cat: Bad Woman, Big Fool!
Faced with Momiji's outrageous words, Fujino could only say, "That's incredibly audacious."

Where did this little girl learn all this?
What are you thinking about all the time?
And that book, is it even serious?!
If it's something inappropriate, then I have to take a look...

Fujino thought to himself, secretly deciding that he must get his hands on Kokoro's book and read it carefully to see what kind of book it was.

However, the key point now is to interrupt this little red leaf's dangerous idea.

To be honest, he had no idea what Xiao Hongye was thinking.

Please help me, what kind of help do I need?
Should we use our legs to help?

Am I that kind of person?
Even if it were true, they would never admit it!

The God of Harmony is watching over all the driving teenagers from the heavens!

Fujino coughed lightly, released his hand from Koyo's mouth, his hand feeling slightly hot, and said, "You're overthinking it. Don't think about it next time."

"All right……"

Red Leaf nodded like a chick pecking at rice, its expression clearly shy.

For some inexplicable reason, Fujino felt a sense of regret that he couldn't quite put his finger on.

No, what are you regretting?
Fujino was speechless for a moment, then decided to quickly take the little red leaf away to a crowded place.

At least that way, she wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

Like this, two people alone in a room, with no one around to stop them...

Hongye really dares to do anything!
She truly doesn't consider herself an outsider!
…………

Traffic jams are very common in Tokyo at night.

Around 7 or 8 o'clock, those office workers who are going home from get off work will drive their own cars or take the subway home, causing a traffic jam.

Because of Kokoro's unsportsmanlike teasing and outrageous suggestions, Fujino wasted a lot of time.

I didn't get home until after 7 o'clock.

When they got home, everyone was waiting for them.

The meal that was already prepared hadn't been eaten yet; it seemed they were waiting for someone to come back.

"Dinner is ready."

When Ai Haibara saw Fujino return with Momiji, she simply gave him a brief explanation, but seemed a little awkward about it.

They've taken everyone home...

So anxious?
I dare to stay here overnight now, but I don't even dare to think about what I'll do tomorrow!

The atmosphere at the dinner table was no different from the usual atmosphere at the Fujino family's house.

However, our gray cat is being a little sullen.

Of course, it's not in the reaction, but in the expression.

No matter what, Grey Cat is still a mentally mature eighteen-year-old girl.

It's even a year older than the red leaves.

Therefore, even if she has grievances, she won't vent them like a child like Ayumi.

After all, in a sense, she is already an 'adult'.

How could an 'adult' easily express their dissatisfaction?

Therefore, at this moment, Ai Haibara is able to think things through and endure it.

That's it.

The Fujino family doesn't have any guest rooms.

The Snow King Ice City on the first floor is now in use, occupying the left side. The left and right sides of the second floor are the detective agency and the living quarters of the Shimokasa sisters. The left side of the third floor has been partitioned and has become the living room of the Industrial Sisters, with a living room, a kitchen, two small single rooms, and a washroom. Everyone usually eats here.

Fujino's room on the fourth floor was a single-level room with a washroom and a kitchen, but the partitions were not well made. After all, they were handmade by him in the past and were only good for living. The bedroom, which was for living, was very spacious and even seemed a bit empty.

There are no guest rooms...

However, you can sleep on the floor.

However, since Hongye came here to have fun, we can't let her sleep on the floor.

Therefore, Fujino decided to spend the night at the detective agency on the second floor.

As for whether single men would have any concerns about letting girls stay in their rooms,
This is not a big problem.

Fujino stored everything useful into his personal space.

His room was just like that of a simple elementary school student; it was completely devoid of anything that shouldn't be there.

Ai Haibara, carrying the bedding, went with Fujino to the detective agency on the second floor. She glanced up and gave a subtle hint: "So, you're telling me to let her stay in your room?"

"Hmm." Fujino nodded, chuckled, and went over to tidy up the sofa in the living room, explaining, "We can't expect guests to come all the way here, can we?"

Ai Haibara put down the bedding, crossed her arms, and said, "Let her live with me, or Akemi-nee, or the Shimokasa sisters are all fine."

"After all, they are guests."

Fujino reached out and scratched the gray cat's head: "It's really inappropriate to make guests squeeze together with others."

"This also reminded me that I should convert one of the rooms into a guest room someday, otherwise it's a bit too crowded when guests come over..."

Ai Haibara neither agreed nor disagreed, feeling that it was rather inappropriate to renovate a guest room just for this mere red maple leaf, yet also feeling that a guest room should be renovated.

It's far too dangerous to keep this guy in Fujino's room.

It's not that Fujino is in danger...

After all, Fujino's room was very clean, and there was nothing dangerous or inappropriate to see.

We also can't give that guy any leverage over Fujino.

Ai Haibara, who frequently goes to Fujino's room to clean, knows the details of Fujino's room very well and is not worried about this.

However, she was a little worried that the bad woman might do something outrageous.

Although Fujino wasn't there, that bed was where Fujino always stayed.

Furthermore, the wardrobe also contained Fujino's usual clothes for changing.

If she finds out, what good will that do?!

After all, it still carries the scent of Fujino!
When Ai Haibara thought about that wicked woman from Kyoto, alone in Fujino's room, sleeping in Fujino's bed, she couldn't imagine what that wicked woman might do.

Is it possible that he'll just pounce on the bed, grab the blanket, and start rolling around like a crazy bear?
Gray Cat thought about it and suddenly realized that this was indeed something that bad woman could do.

The thought of that wicked woman looking at Fujino's scent with a lewd expression sent chills down Gray Cat's spine, and she dared not think any further.

He just kept cursing in his heart: Bad woman, crazy woman!
"what happened?"

Fujino noticed Ai Haibara's sudden change in expression and was a little confused as to what caused her sudden reaction.

Ai Haibara simply replied in a low voice, "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered some things."

"Oh……"

Fujino did not press the matter further upon hearing this.

I'm thinking of something, and to put it bluntly, I don't want you to keep asking.

I was just thinking about some alternatives for personal matters.

If they really do ask further...

You can't expect people to say it out loud, can you?
…………

The next morning, Fujino originally intended to go to the hospital, but considering that Koyo had come over, he gave up the idea.

After all, the hospital arrangements have been mostly finalized.

Whether he goes or not doesn't really matter.

Vermouth, upon receiving the news, was quite speechless.

So you only worked those two days and then started slacking off like crazy, right?

You should at least stay for two more days!

For a moment, the elderly woman didn't know what to say.

Exhausted, he could only continue making detailed plans for the operation alone, while inwardly cursing the hermit of Fujino with resentment.

Meanwhile, at the Kudo family's residence.

Early in the morning, Ran got up, met up with Kazuha, and ran to the Kudo house.

Then they saw Hattori. Ran, seeing Heiji Hattori, asked in confusion, "Where's Shinichi?"

"I do not know……"

Hattori Heiji said helplessly, "I rushed over early this morning, but Kudo has disappeared somewhere. I rang the doorbell but there was no response."

"what?"

Ran was taken aback when she heard this. "Shinichi has disappeared again?"

Somewhat puzzled, she took out her phone and dialed Shinichi Kudo's number.

Then, Shinichi Kudo, who was currently hiding at Professor Agasa's house next door, replied as follows:
"Ah, I have some urgent business to attend to in my case, so I have to go now, I'm on my way!"

"..."

Hearing the phone call being disconnected, Xiaolan narrowed her eyes, and her slender arm gripping the phone seemed to begin to tighten.

Seeing this, Kazuha couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Ran?"

Xiaolan took a deep breath and said, "He went off to handle another case..."

"He ran away again?"

"..."

Kazuha realized she had made a mistake in her statement, and stopped speaking halfway through.

Hattori Heiji, standing nearby, seemed rather helpless about the situation.

However, as an observer, he couldn't say anything.

Let your childhood sweetheart handle it.

Immediately, he gave Kazuha a wink.

Upon seeing this, Kazuha was speechless for a moment, then smiled and began to advise Ran:
"Alright, alright, Xiaolan, since that guy ran away, shall we go on a date?"

"what!?"

"I mean, let's go shopping together. I've come all this way to Tokyo, so you have to show me around properly."

"Then, Hattori..."

"Let him go wherever he wants. Every time he follows me, something's bound to happen!"

"..."

Seeing his childhood friend wave goodbye with a slightly disgusted expression, Hattori Heiji was instantly furious.

No, what do you mean I'll get into trouble if I'm around?
What makes you that assumption?

But considering he still had things to do, he had no objection to it.

After Ran and Kazuha left.

He then went to Professor Agasa's house next door.

At this time, only Conan and Professor Agasa were at Professor Agasa's house.

Upon seeing Conan, Heiji Hattori immediately crouched down and began teasing, "How does it feel to turn back into Conan?"

"..."

Conan remained silent, his eyelids drooping as he looked at his dark-skinned best friend.

He just felt that this bastard deserved a beating...

Do you know how much pain I felt when I turned back?
I can't believe I'm still in the mood to say these things!
"Professor Agasa, is Conan here with you?!" Ran's voice suddenly came from outside.

The three of them turned around and were immediately dumbfounded.

Wait, why did Xiaolan launch a surprise attack?
Professor Agasa and Conan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confusion.

Conan was even more confused, and he immediately put on a dumbfounded expression like a husky.

Just as the three of them hesitated, Xiaolan's knocking on the door grew louder and louder.

The whole atmosphere instantly transformed into something like the horror movie "The Ring".

Upon seeing this, Dr. Agasa pondered for a moment, then went and opened the door.

Then, Ran and Kazuha came in and looked around Professor Agasa's living room.

Then, Conan was discovered.

He then narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Conan, have you seen Shinichi?"

"No, I don't have any!"

Conan immediately put on a childlike act: "This morning, Shinichi came over and glanced at me, then immediately left!"

"is it?"

Xiaolan's eyes were still squinting. "Have you eaten?"

"have eaten……"

"Remember to come home for dinner tonight."

"Heiji, remember to go to Ran's house too. I plan to have dinner there."

"understood!"

After saying that, she and Kazuha turned and left the scene.

Only a few people were left standing there dumbfounded, their purpose unclear.

Conan was even more confused: "What does that mean...?"

Hattori Heiji racked his brains for a moment, and after thinking about it, he said, "Kudo Shinichi came back, saw you once, but didn't even look at her, and left without saying a word. Of course she'll be angry."

"..."

Conan fell silent for a moment, then finally sighed helplessly.

So, it's true that girls' minds are really hard to fathom...

Then, he hesitated for a moment: "However..."

"But what?"

"When did you become so smart?"

"I've been online the whole time, okay!"

The two exchanged a few complaints before setting off for Beika Central Hospital.

Hattori did not go inside, but chose to wait nearby.

After entering the hospital, Conan immediately contacted the FBI to inquire about Dr. Liu.

Then he learned that Dr. Liu hadn't come to work for the past few days.

I even took the day off today.

Having received this information, he thanked Judy, who was his former teacher but not exactly his mentor, and then left the hospital to meet up with Hattori Heiji.

Hattori Heiji pondered for a moment: "From a timeline perspective, Fujino and this Dr. Liu are on the exact same timeline... Whenever Dr. Liu appears, he disappears; whenever he has a problem, Dr. Liu disappears, and so on."

“That young lady from Kyoto came yesterday,” Conan said thoughtfully. “He took the day off today; I guess he went on a date with her or something.”

Heiji Hattori stroked his chin: "With this, we can pretty much confirm that Dr. Liu is that Fujino guy."

"But what exactly do you plan to do?"

"I haven't heard you explain the detailed plan yet."

"We can't exactly go and expose him ourselves, can we?"

Conan sighed upon hearing this: "Of course we can't just go and confront him directly. Not only will that arouse his suspicion, but if he gets serious, he'll probably find Rena Mizunashi right away."

Hattori Heiji frowned: "Then what do we do?"

Conan pondered for a moment: "Let's start with the person Fujino arranged to be hospitalized. If I'm not mistaken, he should be Hondo Eisuke. Ran also told me that Hondo Eisuke replied to him, saying that he met his father's colleague."

"I bet Fujino taught him to lie again."

Hattori Heiji was quite puzzled by this: "Why not just tell him to go find his older sister? Why go through all this trouble?"

"And they were even trying to hide it..."

Conan looked at Hattori Heiji with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot: "Aren't you a little stupid?"
