The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1481 Strange Numbers + GCDH
Miwako Sato was momentarily at a loss for words.

Go ahead and refute it; Fujino's point is quite valid...

It's no exaggeration to call Tokyo a crime capital.

At least, that's the case based on her attendance rate.

But she still sighed and said resentfully, "That's true, but it's getting more and more troublesome when these strange people keep popping up..."

"Then you go and clean it all up for them?"

"..."

Sato Miwako fell silent, recalling the times she had been forced to swallow her pride, and had nothing more to say.

Fujino shrugged: "You see, you can't just put them back on track, so you can only accept it as it comes. That's life, if you can't change it, you just have to put up with it."

As he spoke, Fujino pondered for a moment: "But if we think about it from another perspective, it's not necessarily a bad thing that these people have suddenly appeared."

Sato Miwako asked, puzzled, "What kind of thinking is that?"

Fujino said in a serious tone, "Think about it, with this group of vigilantes helping to fight crime, isn't Tokyo's public safety much better?"

"Although murders and such are impromptu and no one can stop them, at least habitual criminals like robbers and gropers can't escape punishment."

"The safety situation in Tokyo has improved considerably."

“What you said makes sense, but we can’t just ignore those people…” Sato Miwako thought about it and realized it made sense, but she still couldn’t help but sigh and say this.

"Boss Sato, you're thinking the wrong way!" Fujino said nonchalantly, "This is something only the higher-ups feel ashamed of. We lower-ups shouldn't worry about these things. Just trust the wisdom of those above us, and do whatever they tell us to do, isn't that enough?"

"Besides, there's no point in us worrying about it here."

Sato Miwako puffed out her cheeks: "You little rascal, why do you sound like you're not involved?"

Fujino said helplessly, "The problem is, we can't control it, can we?"

“That’s true.” Sato Miwako nodded, then sighed, “Alright, that’s enough. I’m going to clean up that catwoman’s mess now.”

Catwoman, Robin, Batman…

'Tokyo is really turning into Gotham City soon, huh?'

'That old lady Vermouth is quite clever.'

Fujino thought about Vermouth's act of impersonating Catwoman and pondered it in his mind.

Sonoko looked at Fujino as he put his phone away and couldn't help but ask, "Was that Officer Sato's call?"

"Yes." Fujino responded, "The murderer in the case I was handling has been apprehended. I might not have had time just now, but I do now."

"Great!"

Sonoko Suzuki let out a sigh of relief.

Conan blinked, looking completely bewildered.

His mind raced for a moment, and he asked, "Fujino, you're saying the murderer has been caught?!"

"How did you catch it?"

Fujino thought for a moment: "She was probably captured by a catwoman, at least that's what Sato said."

Conan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this: "Cat... Catwoman?"

Fujino nodded: "It should be Catwoman from Batman. If you think about it, she should be on Batman's side. After all, there is indeed a Catwoman character in the Batman comics, so it makes sense."

Conan: "..."

So why are there so many weirdos in Tokyo?
Batman, Robin, Catwoman...

Conan silently scoffed to himself, utterly speechless. He pondered the case for a moment, and then understood something: 'It seems those Bat-like guys were also following the organization's list, and they probably took the list when they captured that guy.'

'It's a bit of a shame, but at least it wasn't destroyed by the organization...'

'That's still a good thing.'

Conan comforted himself with the thought that if he lost, the other person also lost, so he had won. But as he thought about it, his expression gradually became strange.

He suddenly realized something: 'If the list or something has already been taken by someone else... then what's the point of me staying here and becoming a lonely apprentice?'
Conan's apprenticeship was essentially a ploy to infiltrate the investigation and find the organization's list.

Now the list has been taken by someone else, and he even became their apprentice...

For a moment, Conan felt a sharp pain in the corner of his mouth, realizing he had really lost out this time.

Conan thought for a moment and wondered if it was too late to regret it now.

But after glancing at the group of people around him, especially his mother, Conan dismissed the idea.

He felt that if he said such a thing now, his mother, whom he had just offended, would probably beat him to death.

Conan felt a pang of sorrow.

He felt his nose slowly turning red.

It's like I've become a clown.

Sonoko then clapped her hands and said, "In that case, it's decided!"

"Fujino-senpai, Momiji, Ran, and me..."

As she spoke, she glanced to the side and said, "Sister Mingmei and Sister Nana, would you like to go shopping together?"

Akemi paused slightly upon hearing Sonoko's suggestion: "Me?"

She glanced around briefly, then said in a deliberately serious tone, "I think I'll pass."

Sonoko was taken aback by his question: "Why?"

"Hmm... I should say that my previous trips to the beach left me with some rather unpleasant memories." Miyano Akemi pondered for a moment, then chuckled, "Things like this are better suited for you young people. I'd rather not go, since I still have to manage the beverage shop!"

"I own a beverage shop!"

Akemi Miyano said this with a very serious expression.

Of course, she couldn't very well say, "Why should I, as an elder, get involved with you kids?"

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that these are you young people trying to develop a relationship with our Fujino, right?
This is what she was thinking. Then she looked at the Shimokasa sisters and said, "You two sisters rarely go to the beach, how about we go for a swim?"

"Think about it, you and Fujino are about the same age, so if you go out together, you'll have some common topics to talk about..."

Akemi Miyano said this to the twin sisters who looked exactly alike.

Minaho Shimokasa and Honami Shimokasa are twins, born on the same date.

Although they might look like they're a lot older than Fujino, they're actually only three years older.

Both of them are only twenty-one years old this year.

While it might seem counterintuitive to start working at 21, not everyone in Japan can directly attend university.

This is especially true for the Nana sisters, who came from an orphanage.

In Japan, there's no such thing as tuition-free university or interest-free loans.

Even if they exist, to be honest, ordinary people sometimes can't afford them. After all, Japan is, frankly, a capitalist society. It would be strange if the welfare distributed wasn't embezzled, let alone places like orphanages.

"Us?"

“Let’s not go…” Minaho Shimokasa and Honomi Shimokasa said in unison, as if they had planned it beforehand: “Let’s stay at the shop with you, Akemi-nee.”

"Yes, Mingmei, you can't cook. It would be troublesome if the customers complained."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Akemi Miyano's eye twitched slightly, and she thought to herself, "I kindly gave you guys a holiday, and this is how you expose my past?"

'These two, sigh...'

Akemi Miyano is a little tired of dealing with the two sisters.

The only option is to accept it.

What they said wasn't wrong, but their stubbornness was really a bit of a headache.

According to Miyano Akemi's impression, if she continued to persist with the two sisters like this, then the two sisters should advance to the next level.

The two sisters almost simultaneously clasped their hands together and looked at you pitifully.

Akemi Miyano couldn't bear to see such a scene, and could only sigh helplessly, wondering from the bottom of her heart why the two sisters were like this.

Not only do they look exactly alike, but they even have the same personality. Sometimes, it really makes people wonder if these two people are of the same mind and body, just like in the TV series, where two people were originally one person but became two people due to special reasons and have a telepathic connection.

"Are you going to the beach?" Yukiko Kudo raised her hand, smiling like a young girl. "If you're going, how about it being my treat?"

Sonoko Suzuki was slightly puzzled upon hearing this: "Aunt Yukiko is treating?"

Yukiko Kudo: "..."

Could you please drop the term "auntie" for this child?

Yukiko Kudo's face darkened slightly, but considering that the other party was a junior, she didn't say anything. Then, she pretended that nothing had happened and smiled, "Yes, speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've been to the beach... And, I'll be troubling you all to look after Conan from now on. Since you're all going out, of course I'll treat you to a meal as payment for looking after Conan!"

"I see..." Sonoko nodded upon hearing this, then looked at Yukiko Kudo and sensed that something was amiss.

She felt that what Aunt Yukiko said was somewhat far-fetched.

If it's a far-fetched argument, then what's the purpose of saying it?

Sonoko Suzuki was a little confused. After all, in her opinion, Aunt Yukiko was a married woman. She couldn't possibly be trying to show off her figure to make other women envious or other men admire her, could she?

She smacked her lips, deciding not to think about it anymore since she couldn't figure it out, and readily agreed to Yukiko Kudo's suggestion.

Since she's already married, she can't possibly try to steal her Fujino-senpai.

Besides, Fujino-senpai wouldn't be attracted to a married woman like that.

Sonoko Suzuki nodded to herself, her mind filled with calculations about romantic scheming.

"You're going too?" Conan, who was still feeling depressed, couldn't sit still after hearing this and couldn't help but ask Yukiko Kudo.

Yukiko Kudo, hands on her hips: "So what!"

Conan: "..."

What are you, an old woman, doing going to a place like the beach?

Showing off her figure?
Conan looked like a dead fish, and it seemed a little uncomfortable.

The discomfort was an awkward discomfort, after all, it was his mother who was going to the beach, and going to a place like the beach naturally meant changing into a swimsuit, and changing into a swimsuit meant showing off her figure.

This feeling is inexplicable.

"Speaking of which, I didn't bring a swimsuit with me..." Yukiko Kudo suddenly remembered something and murmured to herself.

Upon hearing this, Conan felt a sense of foreboding.

Then, he heard his mother say something utterly outrageous again:
"Are you guys free today? How about coming with me to buy a couple of swimsuits?"

"You guys can pick some too, it's on me!"

Yukiko Kudo said this with great enthusiasm, patted her chest, and extended an invitation to everyone.

Xiao Lan was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Isn't this really too much of an expense for you?"

“No, there isn’t!” Yukiko Kudo smiled. “After all, I’m the elder!”

Upon hearing this, Fujino quipped, "If you keep spending like this, Yukiko-nee, Kudo Yusaku will probably be sitting in front of the computer typing away for a long time again."

"Hmph, he's not that tired." Yukiko Kudo crossed her arms. "Forget about copyright, I know his manuscripts even if others don't. All he does all day is read newspapers, go fishing, or watch TV and movies. He's just reaping what he sows by rushing to finish his manuscripts..."

As she spoke, she raised her chin again: "Besides, why would I need his money? The movies and TV series I made back then still bring in a lot of income!"

"This is just a drop in the ocean!"

Then she turned to Fujino and said, "By the way, Fujino-kun, you can come and help me find someone!"

"what?"

Fujino paused for a moment upon hearing this.

Conan also looked completely bewildered.

Yukiko Kudo replied with a serious expression, "Something like a swimsuit, of course you need someone to help you find one to see if it looks good!"

"It's more reliable to have a guy help you check!"

Fujino coughed lightly: "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

“Fujino-kun, you’re still the conservative type…” Kudo Yukiko narrowed her eyes, then patted Fujino’s shoulder cheerfully and laughed, “Swimsuits are meant to be worn and seen, so what’s wrong with showing them off to others sooner or later!”

Fujino's lips twitched: "Yeah, you're right."

"Alright, it's decided then!"

…………

Yukiko Kudo has a very cheerful personality. Even though she's a married woman, she's still the cheerful and bold type. If she were in a doujinshi world, she probably wouldn't even survive the beginning—that's how Fujino thought of her.

Without hesitation, the group headed to the mall to start selecting swimwear.

When choosing swimwear, you should of course ask for the size.

Ooka Momiji didn't mince words. She was straightforward and calmly asked the sales clerk, who was dressed in an office lady outfit, "70G, do you have that size in your store?"

Sonoko coughed lightly: "I'm 63C."

"Um..." Ran blushed slightly and glanced back at Fujino.

Fujino then turned around and left the scene.

Well, after all, it's a girl's size.

Before leaving, he even dragged Conan away.

We can't let this kid stay here. He can't even listen to us, so why should this kid listen to us?

Of course, his hearing is so good that it can't be counted.

Then, he heard Xiaolan, who was relieved, announce: "My answer is 68D."

Then came Yukiko Kudo's confident voice: "I am 72H, it seems I have won!"
