The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1405 Is this detective serious?

The members of F4, one after another, filled in the blanks in their minds, using their abstract crime-solving abilities to connect the whole story.

Hearing this, Koyo frowned: "If that's the case, then it makes sense. Their involvement in killing Mr. Kai has been exposed, and someone wants to kill them to avenge Mr. Kai..."

Sonoko nodded thoughtfully, "If you think about it that way, it makes sense."

As always, the sentimental Ran sighed, "But they are really heartless. They actually killed a good person like Mr. Kai for something like this."

Kazuha nodded: "That's right, it's just for such a small thing..."

Momiji started by noticing that she had stirred up the emotions of the others, then turned her gaze to Fujino, a slight smile appearing on her face: "However, to see through the case so quickly, you're truly remarkable..."

Sonoko chimed in, "Yes, as expected of a senior, he's as sharp as ever!"

Kazuha crossed her arms and glanced at her childhood friend: "That's right, Hattori, you should learn from him."

The three F4 members around them: "..."

Hey, hey, hey, we have reasoning too!
So how come everything is being attributed to him?
The three men's faces darkened.

Heiji Hattori's eyebrows twitched, and he almost ground his teeth to powder.

He couldn't help but mentally complain, "Hey, Kazuha, what are you doing? Momiji and Sonoko like Fujino, of course you have to praise him..."

"The point is, why did you even get involved in that mess?"

"I was clearly your childhood sweetheart..."

"Can I possibly learn from someone like Fujino, who is a humanoid creature?"

Compared to the others, the two police officers who were shaken over by Fujino looked rather displeased upon hearing this.

Uehara Yui's face darkened instantly.

Yamato Kansuke, on the other hand, was more rational. He squeezed Uehara Yui's arm, forcing her to calm down as well.

He immediately said, "That makes a lot of sense. Although we don't have any evidence yet, our top priority is to protect them from being killed..."

"If they are killed again, then the trail will be lost."

Yui Uehara took a deep breath, her emotions calming down at this moment: "But given the current situation, we can't mobilize police from nearby police stations..."

"After all, the most recent death was investigated long ago. There is no evidence or case now, so there is really no reason to request a search."

Upon hearing this, Yamato Kansuke stroked his chin and said, "In that case, it's just the two of us. I'll go to the Ryūo family, and you'll go to the Torada family."

Yamato Kansuke still had faith in his childhood friend's fighting abilities.

There's no problem dealing with thugs or anything like that.

On the contrary, due to some old injuries, he is now not as strong as his childhood sweetheart in terms of fighting ability.

"Ahem!"

Fujino then coughed lightly, "Actually, you two don't need to be in such a hurry to act."

"...?"

The two turned around and looked at Fujino, who was full of question marks.

They didn't quite understand what Fujino meant.

Fujino calmly explained, "Now that we've identified their target, the most urgent thing is to go and find out their secrets."

"You can guard against thieves for a thousand days, but you can't guard against them no matter how hard you try."

"Instead of doing that, we might as well take the initiative."

"Take the initiative?"

The two of them were taken aback by what they heard.

Fujino replied calmly, "Just call them all over and let them tell us what happened."

"Ah this..."

The two men looked at each other with complicated expressions: "Since they don't want to talk about it, there's no point in asking them. Without evidence, there's nothing we can do if they don't want to speak." "Don't want to speak?"

Fujino narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, a faint smile playing on his lips: "How would I know without asking? Whether they want to speak or not is not up to them..."

Halfway through his sentence, Fujino paused for a moment to think: "However, you're right, they might not be willing to talk about it if we ask them."

"Then I'll go and pay a visit to that Ryūki Ayaka first."

Uehara Yui or Yamato Gansuke: "..."

Is this detective serious?
Why do they look like criminals?
After hearing these words, neither of them knew how to respond.

The people around them, however, did not think much of it.

I guess I've gotten used to it.

Conan pondered for a moment, feeling that something was amiss.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "But then again, since it's a commission from two different parties, we'll definitely be staying at the home of the person who commissioned us tonight..."

"Wouldn't it be more convenient to leave the dragon tail to Hattori-nii?"

"Ah I?"

Hattori Heiji hesitated for a moment, "Well, I might not be up to the task. It's more appropriate to leave this to Fujino..."

"Yeah, after all, Fujino's acting skills are better than mine."

Heiji Hattori rejected the suggestion and greeted Conan with a senbei (rice cracker).

Please, you want me to do this?
My childhood sweetheart is still here. What if she gets angry? How am I going to coax her?!

Wait, why did you drag Fujino into this mess?
Fujino pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then sighed helplessly: "You're really not suitable. After all, if you want to ask her, you have to make her feel threatened rather than frightened."

"Huh?" Hattori Heiji was taken aback. "How could I have scared her?"

Fujino glanced at her and said, "We need to call her out and ask her alone. It's dark now, and she'll probably faint if you show up."

Kazuha asked curiously, "Why did you faint from fright?"

Fujino shrugged helplessly: "A normal person would definitely be scared if they saw a row of teeth floating in mid-air..."

Hongye quickly answered, "I know, this is a tooth spirit."

Kazuha was taken aback at first, then looked at her childhood friend and stroked her chin: "Don't say it, really don't say it..."

The people around him murmured in response to this.

Even Yamato and Uehara were similarly taken aback upon hearing this.

Hattori Heiji gave a deadpan look and scanned the people present.

Uehara and Yamato immediately straightened their faces, but as professionals, they couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Hattori Heiji felt numb all over. Fujino was really despicable!
Why are you suddenly attacking me for no reason?!
…………

After comforting Hattori Heiji, who was on the verge of tears, and discussing some details, it was evening.

The Torada and Ryūo families prepared guest rooms for everyone, and as dusk fell, everyone went to the homes of their respective clients.

Two guest rooms were assigned to Fujino's side.

Hakuba Saguru and Fujino were assigned to the same room, while Ai Haibara, Momiji, and Sonoko were assigned to another room.

Hakuba Saguru felt a little awkward sharing a room with Fujino.

The awkwardness wasn't because she was living with a man.

It was because I was the third wheel.

Especially after seeing Fujino go to the girl's room after dinner, he felt even more like a third wheel.
