The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1390 This Sister is Not That Sister
"That completes the task!"

"However, there's quite a difference in skin tone around the neck, so remember to wear a high-necked top to cover it up..."

"Oh……"

Yukiko Kudo finished the finishing touches and introduced her makeup.

As the creator of this makeup look, she can be said to be extremely satisfied with her masterpiece.

Shuichi Akai's attitude was quite indifferent; he merely glanced at the fat woman in front of him.

It just felt like the audio and video of this older woman were a bit inconsistent...

As for the makeup itself, he had no objection; in fact, he didn't care as long as it wasn't too outrageous.

After all, in his view, all he needed to do was hide his identity.

Everything else is irrelevant.

Conan looked at Shuichi Akai, who was now fully made up, and felt a slight chill on the back of his head.

The makeup was fine...

It was those squinty eyes that gave him the feeling of that old man, Fujino.

It's really a bit eerie.

Shuichi Akai's transformation into a living person is complete.

He went from looking like a dark-skinned man in his thirties to a young man in his twenties who looked like a celebrity.

Even Conan thought that makeup was absolutely terrifying.

"So next, it's about the sound..."

Shuichi Akai accepted his current face and began to focus on his voice.

Conan then spoke up: "I've already asked Professor Agasa next door to make you a collar-style voice changer to wear around your neck, so you don't have to worry about that."

"Is that so?"

"The key is the name." Conan pondered for a moment, "Since we've changed identities, we definitely need to change our names too..."

“When it comes to choosing a name, we have to be quite serious about it…” Yukiko Kudo, who was standing next to her, seemed quite interested in the matter.

"Yes, we really need to think about it." Conan stroked his chin, clearly quite interested.

He felt a little regretful that he hadn't been able to give Ai Haibara a name last time.

Shuichi Akai felt a bad premonition as he looked at the mother and son in front of him.

He coughed lightly and said, "I've already thought of a name."

"Have you thought about it?"

"That's right, his name is Subaru Okiya."

Akai Hideaki nodded and crossed his arms, replying, "I think this name is alright."

Conan looked speechless: "How did you even come up with this name?"

Shuichi Akai stroked his chin, already immersing himself in the role of Subaru Okiya, and smiled slightly with narrowed eyes: "It just suddenly came to mind."

Conan: "..."

So why did you suddenly change your expression?
Are they starting the show right away?

Yukiko Kudo touched her chin, thinking that the child had the potential to be a good actor.

The FBI has delayed things to some extent.

If you went into the entertainment industry, your future would be limitless...

The two had their own thoughts, but Subaru Okiya was born at this time.

…………

Meanwhile, Shuichi Akai was pronounced dead after Jodie went to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Incidentally, Judy's reaction was glanced at by the old lady, who used it as material to report to the BOSS.

At this moment, Fujino was enjoying a leisurely and comfortable time at home.

However, before he could even enjoy himself for a moment,
Then came a knock on the door.

Ai Haibara walked in holding an envelope and handed it to Fujino: "There's a letter for you. The address is in Nagano Prefecture..."

"It should be a commission."

"Let me see……"

Fujino took the letter, tore it open, and glanced at it. He saw that the letter contained the same content that Ai Haibara had guessed.

It was somewhere in Nagano Prefecture, where a young master from the Torada clan, a prominent family, died.

However, because the case is so strange, it may be a murder case.

So, I decided to ask Fujino to go and take a look.

It wasn't mentioned in the entrustment agreement with Jinxin.

However, Fujino felt that such a large family, especially one seeking revenge for their child, should be able to afford something like ten million...

After a brief moment of thought, he accepted the commission.

As for this matter...

Fujino still had a vague recollection of Torada; he remembered that Uehara Yui had been called Torada Yui after she got married.

It seems the ex-husband is dead...

Of course, Fujino had made some arrangements beforehand, so the current Uehara Yui hadn't yet taken the surname Torada.

All I can say is congratulations, congratulations...

Although Yamato Kansuke still lost an eye, as long as his leg isn't crippled, everything is fine.

It doesn't affect combat effectiveness at all.

Ai Haibara pondered for a moment: "However, we're taking the Suzuki family's airship to Osaka the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid if we leave now, there won't be enough time."

"The day after tomorrow?"

Fujino thought about it for a moment after hearing this, and realized that he really hadn't thought of that.

Well, all I can say is that he's still a bit confused about the timeline of the Detective Conan world.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to wait until he had resolved the airship issue before making a decision.

Compared to that case, the airship issue is more urgent.

…………

The day the airship took off.

In the morning, Fujino put on a black suit, straightened his tie, put his hands in his pockets, and admired himself in the mirror.

He took his phone out of his pocket and saw a list of names that Hiroki had sent him.

After thinking for a moment, he put his phone away.

He turned around and went downstairs.

Snow King Ice City is closing today.

The group invited by the garden to visit were ready.

The children seemed to have dressed neatly and appropriately for the occasion. While it wasn't as formal as attending a banquet, it was still quite decent.

Professor Agasa also came, wearing a knitted sweater, looking just like an old professor.

The happiest one was Sonoko, who was wearing a magenta three-dimensional long dress and bickering with the little ones.

The long dress has white trim along the sides, and a belt in the middle slightly accentuates the figure, giving it a modern and fashionable feel.

The headband just doesn't do her justice.

Ran was talking to Conan about something.

Akemi, dressed in a long black dress, looked puzzled: "But why hasn't Koyo arrived yet? She should have been here long ago..."

Ai Haibara responded and looked out the window: "I think it's probably a race, after all, she lives in the city center and it's a weekday."

Fujino nodded, not surprised by this.

That's just how Tokyo is.

Traffic jams occur almost everywhere, except for lunchtime, whether it's morning or evening.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you all waiting..."

Momiji's white Rolls-Royce stopped outside. Iori Muga opened the car door, and Momiji got out and gave everyone an awkward smile.

Fujino replied, "I'm not late. I just got dressed and came downstairs."

"Very good……"

Momiji breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at Ai Haibara in front of her.

She glanced at Ai's white patterned sweater and matching white wide-leg pants, immediately recognizing them as the ones she had bought. She then bent down and ruffled Ai's hair: "Ai looks adorable today too." Ai: "..."

So could you please stop touching my head?
That doting expression is so annoying!

She had a cold face and looked like an old woman with a wheezing breath.

However, in Hongye's eyes, this was just her little daughter being a bit shy.

Being shy is cute too.

Fujino: "..."

Well, this girl, Hongye, has completely come to see herself as Ai's mother.

This is...

Well, it’s hard to say.

Fujino glanced at the two of them, then pondered for a moment: "But, you know what..."

"These two really do look like mother and daughter."

Hongye's outfit today consisted of a khaki round-neck sweater with a pattern, and a high-waisted, slightly darker long skirt, giving her a sophisticated and elegant look.

This is Hongye's style of dressing; it's understated and gives off a dignified, mature woman vibe.

Because this style only suits her...

If she wore something like a close-fitting shirt, it wouldn't look good; it would just look sexy.

The two of them have a fairly consistent style.

It's a completely different style from Sonoko's.

Fujino felt a strange sense of unease, as if he had entered a different time and space.

Ms. Sonoko, could you please fire your image consultant?

You should learn from Hongye's fashion sense...

Because of her unique physique and broad mind, Hongye is able to wear clothes that fit her well, but not as many as you!

Sonoko glanced at the red leaves, her expression slightly complicated.

Originally, she wanted to show off to the other person.

However, let's leave it for now and talk about it another time.

Even now, when the garden is filled with the memory of what Momiji said before, it still sends chills down her spine...

Bringing herself back to reality, she said, "Alright, everyone, let's go!"

"Airship, airship!"

"I really wonder what the inside of that airship looks like..."

"I heard it's quite big."

The little ones were very enthusiastic about this, while the others who had visited before were less interested.

It can add a bit of vitality, though.

…………

Arriving at the airport they had visited before, the airship had already been pushed out of the hangar and onto the runway for takeoff.

The massive airship stood proudly on the runway.

It resembles a small hill on land.

The little ones looked at the airship in front of them and cheered excitedly.

Mingmei glanced around and asked in confusion, "Are we the only ones riding this airship this time?"

“Yes.” Sonoko, who was following behind, nodded and explained, “I only invited you guys this time, there’s no one else.”

The Nana sisters, who were standing next to her, echoed in unison: "But for an event like this, why not invite more people?"

"Because my uncle built this airship specifically to capture that guy Kid. He didn't want other people to get in the way and might allow Kid to sneak in, so he didn't invite them."

When Sonoko brought up the matter, she was also a little speechless. What she didn't say was that the old man was only interested in getting on the front page and couldn't be bothered with things like this.

Akemi was puzzled by this, but then she thought about the power of the Suzuki zaibatsu.

Well, that's probably what rich people are like.

Meanwhile, Conan was looking around intently, appearing completely absorbed.

It's because Fujino had previously said that Kid would impersonate him and infiltrate the area.

So now he's mentally prepared for his double to suddenly appear and scare him...

However, it seems it hasn't been released yet?
Fujino isn't trying to fool me, is he?

That's what Conan was thinking.

Just as he was pondering this, another high school detective slowly arrived.

Golden frizz, suit and tie—that's Hakuba Saguru.

He went straight to Conan and asked where Shinichi Kudo was.

Then he received a reply to Conan's idea.

Then, he had the same thought as Conan.

Fujino was quite helpless about this.

How was I supposed to know what kind of plan Douzi was up to?

Did he also lie to me?

The two wanted to ask, but the scene automatically popped into their minds, so they didn't say anything and began to investigate silently.

The airship slowly took off, and the propellers at the bottom adjusted their angles, sending the airship, which had a buoyancy almost equal to its own weight, into the sky.

The group was taken to the open-air restaurant.

The children looked down from the side window of the restaurant and exclaimed in amazement, "So high!"

"People look like ants now!"

"That's Dorobiga Amusement Park!"

"The castle has turned into a doll box!"

The children looked at the scenery below with excitement, and Xiaolan and Yuanzi nodded in agreement: "It really is beautiful..."

"It's a completely different feeling from looking down from an airplane."

"What a magnificent sight..."

The little ones, Akemi, and the Nana sisters, were peering out the window. They looked just like real children when they were with the kids.

Sonoko raised her head, turned to Momiji, and asked, "How is it compared to the view from the helicopter?"

"Hmm, it's really quite nice..." Hongye nodded thoughtfully, "It's probably because the windows are quite large, so the view is quite open, and it's also quite quiet."

“It’s an airship after all,” Sonoko said, arms crossed. “In terms of stability, quietness, and visibility, it’s definitely better…”

But as she spoke, she looked puzzled again: "By the way, what are you thinking about?"

Hongye stroked her chin and, without much hesitation, explained in a low voice, "I was thinking, since this airship is the property of the Suzuki family, shouldn't it be handed over to the heir in the future..."

"More or less," Sonoko replied thoughtfully. "Although it was built by Abbot Jirokichi, it is ultimately company property."

"Oh." Hongye nodded, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes: "Then in that case, the whole family can come up and play more often in the future..."

"Ok?"

Sonoko was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this: "What did you say?"

“Aren’t you the heir?” Koyo stroked her chin upon seeing Sonoko’s reaction. “Speaking of which, you have an older sister. Thinking about it that way, she’s definitely a future competitor, and being the eldest daughter, she’ll get a share of the inheritance later…”

She turned to Sonoko and asked, "Speaking of which, what does your sister think of Fujino?"

"what?"

Sonoko looked completely bewildered, while Momiji stroked her chin: "If there's a chance, maybe we can try to resolve this peacefully..."

"What do you mean by a peaceful resolution?"

"Let her continue being your older sister."

"what?!"

"...?!"

Compared to the bewildered Sonoko, Fujino, with his exceptional hearing, inadvertently appears even more bewildered.

"Continue to be the older sister" sounds reasonable, but it actually has a lot of problems!
This sister is not that sister...

So, Hongye, what kind of inappropriate and lewd words are these?
Sonoko is one thing, but why are you even targeting her sister?

Is this some kind of inhuman cruelty?!
