The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1416 She fell asleep

Fujino stared at the shrewish older sister in front of him, who had drunk two cups of black tea, then collapsed into bed with a nosebleed, and for a moment, he was completely stunned.

At this moment, Sato's face was flushed, and her whole body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist. Blood from her nose flowed down from her nostrils and landed on her suit.

The scene seemed a bit strange.

He glanced at the thermos in his hand, his mind racing, flashing through the vast universe and all sorts of complex calculations, before falling into deep thought.

So, what exactly is in the tonic for red leaves?

How did that shrewish older sister get into such a state after just two drinks?

This tonic...

Something definitely doesn't look right!

Fujino internally ranted, but rants aside...

I'm quite certain that Hongye wouldn't take any outrageous medications on herself.

The main point is that if he were given any kind of drug, given his constitution, he would definitely be able to sense it.

After all, with his sense of taste, if there really was some kind of drug added, he would have tasted it long ago.

In my opinion, apart from some tonics, there really isn't much else in this black tea.

But there's no use thinking about it so much; let's see how the shrewish older sister fares first.

Fujino snapped out of his thoughts, not wanting to dwell on it too much. He took out a first-aid kit from his personal space, took out two cotton balls, and stuffed them into her nose to stop the bleeding.

Then, he reached out, grabbed the arm of the unconscious, fierce woman in front of him, pulled her close, and placed his other hand on her pulse to take her pulse.

When I placed my fingers on his pulse, I immediately felt a burning heat, like a small oven.

After briefly checking the pulse, Fujino's previously normal expression gradually became complicated:

"Ah, this pulse is weak and thready, and even a bit hesitant..."

"Ahem, it seems I've learned some strange information that I shouldn't know."

"Well, let's just pretend we don't know."

Fujino coughed lightly to calm himself down, then his expression turned serious: "But overall, the problem with his body isn't too serious, it's just that the tonics were too strong and caused some blood to flow recklessly and his qi and blood to become disordered."

"It seems that he was originally a bit cold and weak, plus neurasthenia, and now that he has been forced to take strong medicine, all of these symptoms have surfaced and he has a fever?"

"But it's not a big problem. A little rest and recuperation will do the trick."

"It's that girl Hongye, just how much tonic did she add to it...?"

After a moment's thought, Fujino understood the general situation.

Well, to put it simply, it's just that the shrewish older sister's period, which happens every month, has just ended.

However, because this shrew didn't get proper rest during those days and even caught a cold, she became a little tired and weak.

I caught a chill today and took some tonic.

Then he lost consciousness and started bleeding from his nose.

In short, the body is too weak to tolerate tonics, and the tonics have been overdone.

In Western medicine terms, this means an immune system disorder or weakened immune system, which prevents the immune system from detecting and eliminating the virus, leaving it in the body. Now, after being stimulated, the immune system is activated and begins to indiscriminately kill all foreign enemies in the body.

The immune system is working, and fever is naturally a symptom.

So now the shrewish older sister has already started to burn.

It's burning quite badly.

His face turned bright red.

Realizing that the shrewish older woman in front of him was alright, Fujino breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then, looking at the shrewish older woman who was currently running a fever, he didn't know how to react.

He began to think.

If we look for someone now, we probably won't find anyone suitable.

Right now, I'm all alone.

It's definitely not appropriate to leave this shrewish boss here now, since she already has a fever and needs to be arranged to rest properly.

If you try to wake her up now, you probably won't be able to. She needs to rest for a while. She's already weak, and if she gets scared again, she might fall seriously ill.

After thinking for a moment, Fujino had no choice but to reluctantly remove her from the driver's seat.

After settling Sato in the back seat, he got into the driver's seat, stepped on the gas, and drove the Mazda away.

…………

Aren't you going home today?

"Well, I have something to take care of, so I probably won't be able to go back tonight. You guys eat first."

"Oh……"

Fujino is a model young man; if he doesn't come home at night, he should of course inform his family first.

It wasn't surprising that Mingmei received the news.

After all, his own little brother often spends the night outside because of some kind of commission.

So she called out to the Shimokasa sisters and told them that Fujino wouldn't be back that night and that they should have dinner first.

At the dinner table, Ai Haibara and Momiji were both puzzled when they heard that Fujino wasn't going home.

Hongye, on the other hand, fell into deep thought.

Logically speaking, Fujino and that policewoman named Sato went out on a case this morning, and they should have been home tonight.

Why aren't you going home now?

I clearly told myself to come back early...

Could it be because of the tea?

Hongye touched her chin, not thinking too much about it.

The tonics were all agreed upon by her and Iori. Considering that no medicine should be added, they were all tonics that could strengthen the body, invigorate the kidneys, and replenish essence, while also making people feel warm all over.

Although it can be a bit impulsive, it doesn't have such an outrageous effect. Even though the dosage is a bit large, for Iori, this dosage is a piece of cake for Fujino.

According to Iori, it seems that long-term use is necessary to see results.

As for the final effect, it's definitely something that makes people unable to hold back.

After all, Fujino is a strong and fit young man. At this age, a strong and fit young man is full of energy, and he definitely can't handle such a supplement.

Then I can take advantage of the situation.

Well, even if I can't take advantage of his weakness, I can still help him deal with it if he loses control...

Hongye thought this way, so at this moment she was not worried that her black tea would cause any outrageous incidents that would allow others to take advantage of her vulnerability.

…………

"The address for the driver's license should be here..."

"It's really troublesome."

"However, this shrew's place looks pretty nice."

"As expected of a police inspector."

Fujino drove his Mazda to a high-rise apartment building in Tokyo.

The apartment looks quite tall, and compared to the apartment where Enomoto Azusa lives, it's much better and definitely more spacious, at least from the window.

I drove here to find the address on Sato Miwako's driver's license.

Still worried, Fujino sent Hiroki a message and did some investigation.

It was only after a while that it was confirmed that this was the Tokyo residence of the shrewish older sister, Miwako Sato.

He originally thought this woman would live in the police dormitory, but he didn't expect her to live in an apartment outside.

However, it wasn't entirely unexpected.

After all, the police inspector's annual salary, not including overtime pay, amounts to five or six million yen, which is more than enough to live comfortably in Tokyo.

Even a police inspector or something, in terms of rank, would be equivalent to a deputy section chief.

Although they don't usually show off, they are still outstanding individuals.

Fujino found a parking space nearby, parked the car, and then hoisted the shrewish Sato from the back seat onto his back. He then took out his key card, swiped it, and entered the apartment. Sato's apartment was quite large, roughly the size of a normal single-level apartment, with a separate living room, bedroom, and bathroom.

The scene was a bit outrageous.

The sofa is covered with clothes, which gives it a very homey feel.

However, Fujino wouldn't look at that much anyway.

He put down the shrewish older sister Sato he was carrying on his back, took off his shoes and then his coat. He carried it around for a while, found the bedroom, and then threw it onto the bed.

The mattress is very soft and looks like a high-end Simmons mattress.

Sato, who had been thrown onto the bed, bounced around as if he had been forced into some kind of passive reaction, and grabbed the blanket that was lying around him and wrapped it around himself.

He curled up in bed, completely huddled up.

"..."

Fujino looked at the scene before him and felt a little helpless.

Okay, this woman may look like a shrew, but her usual habits are actually quite girlish.

Then, a telephone rang.

Fujino turned his head and found that the sound was coming from the clothes that had been left on the living room sofa.

When I went over to check, I saw it was Inspector Megure calling.

Fujino thought for a moment and decided it would be better to accept.

"Sato, where are you now? There's another case!"

Megure's voice came from the other end. Fujino paused for a moment before finally speaking:

"She fell asleep."

"?!!"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure silently typed a question mark, followed by a moment of utter bewilderment.

No, why is it a man answering the phone to my dear subordinate?

They even said they were asleep...

Wait, why does that voice sound so familiar?
As Inspector Megure reminisced, the face of his beloved younger brother suddenly appeared in his mind.

He immediately exclaimed in surprise:
"Brother Fujino?!"

"Brother Megure."

"Uh, bro."

"I just heard you mention a case..."

"Ahem, well, I'll hang up now. It's okay, I'll take care of the case."

Before Fujino could say more than a few words, Inspector Megure interrupted him with a series of replies and then hung up the phone.

Fujino: "..."

So, bro, let someone speak up!

Why hang up the phone?
Fujino felt a bit helpless. After thinking about it, he realized that it wouldn't be appropriate to fight back.

He turned around and went to the bathroom to prepare a wet towel to take care of the shrewish older sister lying in the bedroom.

After all, judging from her physical condition, Sato Miwako has a fever of 40 degrees Celsius. If she isn't taken care of, this shrewish woman's brain will probably go haywire overnight.

If it gets too high and turns into a primary school student, that would be terrible.

After hanging up the phone, Inspector Megure stared at the phone in his hand, lost in thought.

Question: I called my female subordinate, but my dear younger brother answered the phone and said that my female subordinate was asleep. What should I do?
This……

Megure's eyes gradually became confused.

Despite having lived for so many years, he's never experienced anything so shocking before...

Hmm, this is the first time I've seen this.

Let's pretend we don't know.

In the end, Inspector Megure made this decision, because this kind of thing was awkward no matter how you looked at it.

In the end, one can only sigh that youth is truly wonderful.

…………

"Forehead……"

"Head hurts."

"what happened?"

When Sato Miwako woke up, she found herself back in her bedroom, lying on her expensive mattress.

She rubbed her head, a little confused about the situation: "I remember, last night I finished the case with that Fujino kid, and then drank some black tea..."

"it hurts."

After trying hard to recall, she managed to piece together her fragmented memories. Finally, she looked at the ceiling, sighed helplessly, and stopped thinking about it. She felt aches all over her body and felt as if she had lost all her strength.

She felt her mouth was dry, so she sat up and turned her head to look at him.

Seeing a glass of water on the bedside table, I picked it up and drank it down.

Warm water soothes a dry throat.

After drinking the glass of water, she felt much better.

But then, as if suddenly realizing something, the hand holding the cup froze, and the cup fell to the ground.

"..."

She paused for a moment, stiffly turned her head, and then saw that the bedside table was covered with toilet paper, and there seemed to be some... on the toilet paper.

"Blood?"

"Wait, what is this?!"

"Why is there so much blood on the toilet paper?!"

"Could someone have died?"

"No, this is my home!"

Sato Miwako was puzzled and immediately thought of a murder case, but then she remembered that this was her own home and immediately abandoned this outrageous idea.

Then, she looked down at her clothes and was even more bewildered:

Where's my coat?

"Wait, what happened?"

"Why are my lining and skirt all messed up and look like they're covered in blood? Something's not right!"

"Normally, as time goes by, things shouldn't be like this..."

As Sato Miwako pondered this, her eyes suddenly went blank, and she fell into a state of utter bewilderment, her thoughts suddenly becoming a jumbled mess.

Just then, a series of "tap tap tap" footsteps came from behind.

Hearing the noise, she stiffly turned her head and saw a familiar face:
"Fujino?!"

"You're awake."

Fujino watched as the shrewish older sister sat up in bed, arms crossed, and said, "Take a good rest. You're a little weak right now. I just went to buy some medicine. Drink it later..."

"Wait, why are you in my house?!"

"What? Why am I in your house?"

"Why are you in my house?!"

With a bewildered look on her face and a blank stare in her eyes, Sato Miwako spoke in a slightly surprised tone, trying to figure out the situation.

Fujino, black tea, lost consciousness, then woke up to find these things: blood, toilet paper, body aches, clothes in disarray, and the thought that he had been set up...

A bad thought flashed through her mind, followed by a series of clues that quickly went through her brain, giving her a bad premonition. Finally, she connected these clues in her mind.

His expression became complicated, and ultimately, he came to a bad conclusion.

I knew I'd been tricked by that kid!
