The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1376 Strange Intergenerational Inheritance
They're all ancient monsters who've lived for who knows how many years.

Vermouth was certainly well aware of this.

Fujino thought so too.

The king always strikes at the crucial moment, delivering the decisive blow.

This is the most basic psychological game in card games.

This psychological game is the same in any game.

"..."

Vermouth merely glanced at Fujino, thinking to herself, "If we're talking about a perverse sense of humor, yours is definitely more extreme, isn't it?"

Looking back on everything that had happened, she felt that compared to Fujino, she was just a complete greenhorn.

Fujino then asked, "So when do you think this will begin?"

"I'm not sure, but it'll probably happen in a couple of days..."

Vermouth pondered for a moment, "After all, for something like this, we need to bring in two capable thugs to keep an eye on things."

"Then I'll take this opportunity to get some rest."

"Going out with your little girlfriend, huh?"

"Tsk, are you spying on me?"

"I was just trying to guess your thoughts, so as not to offend you..."

"Just like how you figure out what the BOSS is thinking?"

Fujino scoffed, "I advise you not to try to figure it out. It's useless. You'd be better off spending more time drinking tea in Snow King Ice City..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Vermouth and said, "As for wanting to get two trump cards from me to protect yourself, let's make it clear beforehand that the price is a bit high."

"You can rest assured about that. I still want to live a couple more days. Even if I have some ideas, I won't say them out loud," Vermouth retorted, though that was truly what she thought.

She had no doubt that if she dared to touch anyone around this guy, he would chop her into mincemeat.

Do you think he'll be lenient with you just because you have some relationship with him?

People like this, they smile at you on the surface and seem very close, but in reality, they've probably imagined countless times how they'd kill you.

Fujino had nothing to say about it.

He was certain that the older woman wasn't that brave.

If it really exists...

Then I can only apologize.

I think the older women might have to step in too.

…………

"That's settled then. We'll get back to you when the boss sends a message. Come over to our house for tea sometime."

"BY".

Having dealt with matters concerning the organization for the time being, Fujino decided not to linger any longer.

In this situation, it's perfectly fine to leave it to Vermouth to handle.

Then he began to think about his next step.

In his memory, the BOSS did indeed order the killing of Shuichi Akai.

However, after he stirred things up like this, Shuichi Akai shouldn't have had the chance to transform into Subaru Okiya...

Judging from the current situation, the distillery boss is still very suspicious.

Just thinking about it, it makes sense.

Aside from natural laws, the course of objective history is largely determined by the subjective actions of the majority of individuals.

While subjective influence may be negligible in shaping the overall historical trend, it is the driving force behind the objective course of a particular event. To illustrate, wanting to eat leads to the objective action of eating; however, if someone is on a diet at the same time, a single thought can rewrite the objective history of eating.

Even if the cafeteria is blown up, the subjective will still push the action to continue.

The desire to eat is a subjective drive, while going to the cafeteria is the initial objective path. Even if the objective path is cut off, as long as the subjective drive to eat remains, the action will change to another path.

Changes in objective facts will only change the way they are implemented, not the core direction.

The analogy is that if someone really wants to eat, they will eat somewhere else even if they don't go to the cafeteria.

The same applies to murder. If someone subjectively wants to kill, the only way to do it is to modify their own mindset so that they can eliminate the thought of killing. Otherwise, as long as the thought of killing remains, they will kill by any means necessary.

Aside from subjective modification, all that's left is the objective physical aspect of annihilation—annihilating the person who wants to kill, or rather, the person the person who wants to kill wants to kill.

This is Fujino's summary of the corrective power in the world of Detective Conan.

In his view, this corrective power applies not only to the world of science fiction, but also to other worlds, and even to the present.

However, thinking about it all the time is useless.

Let's see how things go by then...

The most important thing now is to think about where to take Xiao Hongye to have some fun tomorrow.

After all, I haven't had a chance to come here during my stay in Tokyo these past few days.

…………

"Hey, senior, are you free lately?"

As always, Snow King Ice City features a white snowman leaning on an ice cane, watching over every guest who comes to Snow King Ice City, protecting them from the backstabbing and disdain of expensive drinks, as well as the attacks of the noble landmark building.

Sonoko Suzuki got up early and came to the shop to report some good news to Fujino.

Our own airship is about to embark on a parade!

Of course, the main reason is that old man Jirokichi Suzuki couldn't resist starting to cause trouble again.

Desperate for headlines, he organized this airship parade and issued a challenge to Phantom Thief Kid!
This old man has tried countless times already, so there's no need for him to get so excited...

After listening to Sonoko's chatter for a while, Fujino finally understood what it meant for him to go: "So, the old man is sending me again to help stop Kid?"

“That’s it.” Sonoko rested her chin on her hands and shook her head. “The main thing is to ask you to help me check it out, so that it doesn’t get stolen or anything, that would be too embarrassing.”

Fujino sighed, "So, your old man really has a lot of energy. At his age, he still manages to cause so much trouble..."

“What can we do?” Sonoko chuckled. “After all, that’s just how Jirokichi is. He’s the kind of person who’s never idle.”

"I see..."

Fujino glanced at Sonoko and felt that this personality trait wasn't just something that Jirokichi had inherited; Sonoko had inherited it to some extent.

The genetics is somewhat flawed.

If you think about it, Sonoko's personality is really too similar to that of Jirokichi Suzuki.

They all share a similar unconventional style.

Fujino was a little confused. In Sonoko's family, her father seemed quite calm and steady, and her sister seemed quite reliable. Perhaps her mother was a bit eccentric, but not to that extent. There was nothing else to it.

How did you become like this?
Ai Haibara, listening from the side, couldn't help but show a dead fish-like expression, secretly agreeing in her heart.

So, the old man is still the same...

I don't even know how many times I've tried, and I still don't want to give up. Is getting on the trending topics really that attractive?
That's really bizarre...

Well, speaking of which, that girl with the big forehead has a pretty quirky personality.

Are all rich people like this?
The two of them silently complained to each other in their hearts.

I don't quite understand the thought process of rich people.
