The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1394 White Horse So am I some kind of useless person?

"...?"

Mingmei looked at the scene before her and silently typed a question mark.

Clearly, he was a little puzzled by his younger brother's current situation.

She knew that Hongye was so madly in love with Fujino.

But what's wrong with Sonoko?
It's true that she likes her younger brother, and she knows that, but the two of them don't seem to have a very good relationship.

How come it suddenly looks pretty good now?

If this situation is alleviated, there's only one possibility: that I'll have two adorable younger siblings!
But if we're talking about easing tensions, then who is easing them?
That must be my younger brother, Fujino...

But what did he do then?

Akemi narrowed her eyes, as if she had some guesses in them.

In the end, he could only click his tongue inwardly and sigh inwardly:

"You're quite capable, little brother."

"My little brother has grown up..."

Akemi came to this conclusion.

As her younger sister, Ai Haibara naturally came to the same conclusion.

Her eyes betrayed a deep lack of understanding; she lowered her gaze and muttered to herself:
"How come these two suddenly became so close?"

"They can't even argue properly, and it all started suddenly after they went to the bathroom..."

"Could it be that because there's no conflict of interest, they finally agreed to go and take down Fujino together?"

Ai Haibara immediately guessed the truth; it couldn't be easier.

Thinking about this, she fell into a moment of deep thought: "Their relationship getting better is a bad sign..."

"If the two of them check each other, it can buy me some time and give me some convenience."

"But if the two of them team up, then Fujino will be in some danger..."

"Those two wicked women are truly despicable."

Ai Haibara couldn't even imagine how terrifying it would be if Momiji alone was already so difficult to deal with, and now there was another Sono, who even had Momiji as her strategist.

Given the current situation, it's highly unlikely that she would actually make a move...

So she could only squint her eyes and keep her thoughts to herself.

…………

After lunch, the waiter brought out the afternoon dessert.

There were four waiters this time.

They are a man who looks quite ordinary, a woman with short hair, and a pretty woman with a single ponytail. In addition, there is a woman with the same hairstyle as Ai Haibara, but parted to the side.

Four people are enough to serve these people.

However, when Hakuba Saguru saw the pretty waitress, he frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss.

It was because a strange feeling suddenly surged within him.

His alarm bells immediately went off, and he began to examine the area closely.

"Her figure looks normal, her chest and hips look natural, and her face looks fine too..."

"It's just that this hair is a little dull..."

"And the feeling of that action..."

"It looks like this guy is Kid in disguise."

Hakuba Saguru withdrew his gaze, already understanding in his heart who his nemesis had disguised himself as to infiltrate this time.

But then, a strange look appeared on his face: "But why does this guy like to pretend to be a girl so much?"

There were male waiters right next to me.

"They actually chose a woman who requires the most props and also needs to consciously control her posture..."

"So, could this be some kind of weird hobby of his?"

"Thinking about it carefully, that makes sense..."

"After all, I can usually pretend to be all kinds of pretty girls, so it's normal to have some strange thoughts."

Hakuba, thinking this through, crossed his arms and expressed his understanding.

Just then, Jirokichi Suzuki suddenly received a phone call.

After hanging up the phone, he called to Nakamori Ginzo, who was sitting at the same table as him, and they left the restaurant.

Fujino glanced at Suzuki Jirokichi as he left and immediately understood that the group had gone to find the poison that had been thrown into the airship.

Soon, Brother Zhongsen and his men retrieved an ampoule from inside, which had a red Siamese cat pattern printed on it.

It's like they're playing the Rockets.

And our detective team, of course, followed behind.

After all, once they noticed that Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi's expression was off, Hakuba Saguru and Conan were like they'd been injected with adrenaline.

It would be difficult for Fujino to pretend he couldn't see it.

Then, several people were discovered and called over.

Facing these high school detectives, they had nothing to hide and explained the whole story directly.

Conan immediately became furious: "Damn it, what are these guys trying to do!"

"I think they're trying to use the airship as a threat."

Hakuba Saguru said in a deep voice, "This airship carries a deadly virus. As long as it goes to Osaka and the news is leaked in advance, Osaka will be thrown into panic and used to threaten the Japanese government."

"In fact, they have other tricks up their sleeves..."

"Damn it..." Suzuki Jirokichi cursed under his breath, "These wretched cats!"

Hakuba Saguru, however, remained remarkably clear-headed and calm, saying, "Let's first discuss this matter with the people in the cabin..."

Upon hearing this, Nakamori Ginzo frowned: "This could cause panic in the cabin!"

Conan smiled and explained, "No, there are only a few of us invited this time, so there's no need to panic."

As he spoke, a wicked smile crept onto his lips: "Besides, if we don't tell anyone, whoever has been in the smoking room certainly won't jump out on their own."

"So, are we going to make them report on each other?" Nakamori Ginzo nodded, understanding what kind of tactic this was.

Then, looking at Conan, he felt that this little kid was inexplicably a bit scary.

Soon, a group of people were gathered together in the restaurant.

Nakamori Ginzo didn't keep anyone in suspense and explained the current situation directly: "The airship we're on has been infected with a virus..."

"Those viruses are the ones that were stolen a few days ago."

“The smoking room on Deck B has now been sealed off by us.”

"Next, we need to find..."

Before he could finish speaking, the freelance writer suddenly let out a scream from not far away.

Everyone noticed that his face and arms were covered in red marks.

As it approached the crowd, it kept shouting absurd things like "Help me!" and "Ahhhhh!" and its movements were like those of a zombie, making it look extremely terrifying.

Fujino watched silently, feeling that this guy's acting was a little too over the top.

He acted like he was infected by a virus, like a zombie...

"do not come!"

"what!"

"Mr. Fujioka, calm down!"

As the guy gradually approached, everyone was shocked, and the girls retreated in fear.

Fujino glanced at the few frightened people beside him.

He silently reached into his pocket and pulled out a wooden knife.

You can scare other people, but you dare to scare our family?

"You've already chosen your own death..." Fujino thought to himself, his eyes narrowing slightly. The wooden sword in his hand suddenly grew larger, as if it had appeared out of nowhere. Then, he took a step and charged forward.

"Cherry Blossom Thorn!"

His figure transformed into a phantom and suddenly vanished.

When everyone's eyes caught it again.

His figure had already appeared in front of the other party.

Holding the knife in his left hand and resting his right hand behind it, he stabbed the opponent directly in the abdomen with the tip of the knife.

Immediately, Fujioka's figure flew backward as Fujino thrust at him.

During the sprint, his right hand slammed hard against the hilt of the knife.

This very action caused the wooden sword to unleash another powerful force.

Then came a muffled "bang".

Fujioka was sent flying, crashing into the wall about five or six meters behind him. He collapsed to the ground, his fate unknown.

Soon, the guy was taken away and locked in the infirmary.

The others planned to head to the reception room.

At times like this, there's not much to say, and even if you wanted to whisper a few words, it wouldn't be appropriate.

Fujino glanced at the people around him, thought for a moment, and felt that it was about time for that group of people to arrive.

He then said goodbye to Momiji Sonoko and Akemi, and left the group.

Upon witnessing this scene, Hakuba naturally broke away from the group.

"hateful……"

Leaving the restaurant and heading to the lounge, Conan remained deep in thought, his brow furrowed as he walked behind: "We don't know who on the airship is infected with the virus. If there's cross-infection, in the end..."

Ai Haibara followed behind him, trying to find out what was going on: "Hey, Edogawa, what's going on here?"

“I’m not sure either.” Conan shook his head slightly. “But judging from the current situation, the group of red Siamese cats’ destination should be this airship…”

Ai Haibara frowned: "Did they make any demands?"

"Not yet." Conan sighed. "I wonder what these guys' purpose is. They released the virus without making any demands..."

Professor Agasa, who had been following Conan, suddenly remembered something: "But speaking of which, Shinichi, have you seen those kids?"

"what?"

Conan was taken aback. "Where did they go?"

"They must have gone on an expedition," Ai Haibara mused. "I overheard them looking at the structural diagrams of this spaceship and clamoring to go take a look..."

"It's always something that gets me in the way at crucial moments." Conan scratched his head. "I'll go find them and bring them back."

…………

"As expected, you've come too."

Hakuba glanced at the young woman with a ponytail who had followed behind him, and said indifferently, "Kidd, was I right?"

"what did you say?"

The young woman with her hair in a ponytail looked puzzled: "I was just worried about the guests, that's why I came along..."

As she spoke, she smiled slightly: "After all, the police officer said that we should wait in the lounge."

Hakuba Saguru: "..."

So, it's really strange to know that the other person is a man, yet still find their pretty face attractive...

Pulling himself back from his rant, he took a deep breath: "Stop pretending. Your clumsy disguise can't fool me, Hakuba Saguru!"

"The moment I met your gaze, I saw through the whole truth!"

"Now, all that remains is for the truth to be revealed to the world..."

"This is boring." The girl with the ponytail sighed and continued in a girl's voice, "So, can't you just cooperate a little? This is really boring, okay?"

"If anyone's talking about boring stuff, it's you," Hakuba Saguru said nonchalantly. "Disguising yourself as a girl to infiltrate—don't you find that boring?"

"That's very interesting."

Kaito Kuroba shrugged. "If you couldn't tell it was me, I might be able to tease you a bit."

Hakuba Saguru: "..."

Teasing?

What was this guy thinking? What kind of nonsense was he spouting?!
This guy probably has some weird fetish...

Hakuba Saguru immediately broke out in goosebumps and felt a chill run down his spine.

At that moment, a voice came: "You two, stop arguing. Now is not the time to argue about these things."

They both turned around and saw Fujino walking over.

Without saying much, the two exchanged a glance, snorted coldly, and then followed Fujino.

"So, what are you planning to do?"

Hakuba Saguru looked at Fujino, who was walking with his hands in his pockets and not paying attention to himself, and couldn't help but ask him a question out of curiosity.

Fujino, hands in his pockets, said calmly, "Go and take down a group of terrorists."

"what?"

Hakuba Saguru was taken aback by what he said, clearly not understanding what it meant.

No, take out the terrorists?
You're so nonchalant about it?

It's like it was just a casual thing...

That's not the point...

He mentally scoffed for a moment, then asked, "What does 'terrorist' mean?"

"A group of mercenaries."

Fujino calmly replied, "Before coming here, I already asked my hacker friend to investigate..."

"This time, the Red Siamese Cat gang is a group of mercenaries in disguise. The employer is not yet aware of this, but at this time, they should be able to break in from the air and hijack the airship."

"Hijacking an airship?"

Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba pondered for a moment and immediately understood what was going on: "No wonder they only used the virus to threaten us. It turns out there was another group waiting."

Upon hearing this, Hakuba Saguru understood what he meant: "Once they control the airship, then they will have complete control over where it flies, right?"

"Almost done," Fujino replied. "I'll go take care of them. You two, go wait over there with that group..."

"Perhaps there's an inside man in this group."

Hakuba glanced at Fujino: "Are you alright all by yourself?"

"has a problem?"

Fujino silently pulled out his Chiyo and Aoyuki from behind him and tucked them into his waistband.

Hakuba Saguru and Kuroba Kaito both fell silent as they watched the scene unfold before them.

This guy actually pulled out a real knife...

That's fine.

Fujino adjusted the position of the sword and continued, "I'm going to attack them after they come in. You two..."

"Kidd, you're in charge of protecting those people. You should know what to do when necessary, right?"

"clear."

Kaito Kuroba nodded, clearly understanding.

At this moment, Hakuba Saguru couldn't help but ask, "What about me?"

Fujino glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and finally said, "You...you...uh, you should stay with the others and see how things go."

Hakuba Saguru: "...?"

No, why do I feel like I'm being looked down upon?

Why don't I have any work to do?
Am I some kind of useless person?
