Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

So he tentatively began to speak:

"If you don't want to reveal your existence, Ritsuka-neechan, you can hand over the gun to me, and I'll contact and deliver it to Amuro Tooru, how about that?"

Although he still doesn't know who Fujimaru Ritsuka and her group are, he is certain that their true identities are definitely not simple.

Furthermore, judging from his past interactions and behavior with the other party, even Inspector Megure did not know their true identities, and Ai Haibara also remained silent about it, so there must be some hidden story behind it.

Therefore, he guessed that perhaps Fujimaru Ritsuka was also unwilling to have too much contact with Amuro and to reveal her true identity to him.

If that's really the case, then this is his chance.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately showed a look of surprise and said:

"Hey, is it really okay?"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Conan-kun!"

"Don't worry... huh?"

Conan nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized what he was doing and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with disbelief.

What the heck is this "agreement at the speed of light"?!

Although everything was developing as he had expected, it was developing too smoothly, giving him a sudden sense of unreality.

the most important is--

Fujimaru Ritsuka, you agreed way too quickly!

Do you trust me so much that you don't ask me why, have no doubts, and don't hesitate at all?

Is this some new tactic?!

Conan began to doubt himself, repeatedly recalling the conversation, checking if he had missed any crucial information, or if he had inadvertently fallen into a verbal trap...

But in the end, he found no problems.

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka relax and smile after solving a troublesome problem, Conan's expression became complicated again.

In a daze, he seemed to see a trace of Ran Mouri in Ritsuka Fujimaru.

Chapter 347 The Unknown Number Conan Receives

That night, Huang Mao returned to the location where he had almost been shot earlier that day.

If he could, he would never want to come to this street again in his life, but the current situation left him no choice.

A few beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead as he said tremblingly:

"This is it!"

Behind him stood two men wearing black hats, coats, trousers, and leather shoes... their entire bodies seemed to be shrouded in darkness. One of the men had long silver-gray hair, which stood out exceptionally against the black background.

Another burly man pressed close behind the blond-haired man, who could feel a hard cylinder against his lower back, just like a scene from a spy movie.

That's a gun!

Why the hell am I so unlucky?!

Having just been nearly shot to death during the day, the blond-haired man neither wanted nor dared to gamble on whether the other party had a real gun. He could only curse inwardly while praying that the other party would let him go after achieving their goal.

"here……"

Gin silently observed the environment before him.

As night fell, the streetlights along the street were all lit, but one streetlight remained dim, apparently damaged for some unknown reason.

Despite the rainy night and the dim lighting making everything appear blurry, Gin quickly spotted what he was looking for after scanning the area.

A shell casing left at the scene.

"Ah."

Gin bent down to pick up the spent cartridge case from the ground, a slight smile playing on his lips, but his expression was somewhat gloomy.

Next, he saw a surveillance camera mounted on the wall, positioned at an angle that perfectly covered the area where the broken streetlight was.

So the smile on his face gradually became more flamboyant and also appeared more and more ferocious.

-

"Buzz~! Buzz~!..."

Just then, Fujimaru Ritsuka's phone rang; it was Morishima Hodaka calling.

"Ok?"

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka answered the phone with some confusion:

"Hodaka-kun?"

"We're on our way, we'll be there soon... What's wrong? What happened?"

"Eh?"

"Okay, I know."

After hanging up the phone, seeing everyone's attention on her, Fujimaru Ritsuka said:

"Hodaka-kun has left the agency for some reason. Professor, let's head to this place now."

……

...

Suga Natsumi and Morishima Hodaka stood by the roadside. Morishima Hodaka had his head slightly lowered, making it impossible to see his expression. Suga Natsumi muttered a complaint beside her:

"Kei is so unfair! How could he just kick Hodaka out like that!"

Upon hearing this, Morishima Hoshino raised his head and forced a smile, saying:

"No, Mr. Keisuke has already helped me more than enough."

When he arrived in Tokyo alone, at his most helpless and vulnerable moment, it was Keisuke Suga who took him in despite his problems and gave him a place to stay.

Even now, he will never forget this kindness.

"Miss Xia Mei, you didn't need to come out with me, did you?"

"I'm worried about you."

Suga Natsumi chuckled, then said with some concern:

"Besides, are those people really reliable?"

After all, it involves real guns, and may even be related to the huge gun trafficking case that the police recently cracked. This is not a matter to be taken lightly.

Hodaka Morishima fell silent. He didn't know if the other person could be trusted, but he couldn't find anyone else.

If that doesn't work, then there's only one option...

Just then, a vintage car stopped in front of them. The door opened, and Fujimaru Ritsuka stepped out and smiled at them:

"Hodaka-kun, Natsumi-san."

"Miss Ritsuka!"

"Long time no see, Ritsuka."

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka again, even though it was only their third meeting, Morishima Hodaka felt a little more at ease for some reason, while Suga Natsumi's eyes lit up when she saw the vintage car.

She really is a rich young lady!

Is that Hodaka Morishima?

On the other side, Conan sat in the car, observing the two through the window, especially Hodaka Morishima.

The other party appears ordinary, but inexplicably gives off a feeling of being out of control.

Seeing that Hodaka Morishima was unharmed, Ritsuka Fujimaru and the others relaxed slightly. Then, Ritsuka Fujimaru asked with some confusion:

"What exactly happened? Why did you all come out?"

Upon hearing this, Hodaka Morishima's expression turned bitter again, and he said:

"Is such that……"

After receiving a call from Fujimaru Ritsuka, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. After much hesitation, he decided to tell Suga Keisuke and Suga Natsumi about the pistol at the agency.

As expected, after hearing his story, Suga Keisuke's expression changed immediately, and he hoped that Suga would leave the agency and not bring trouble here.

"Then I came out."

"That's it."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded without saying anything more.

The fact that Suga Keisuke was willing to take in Morishima Hodaka, who had run away from home, already proved his kindness.

Now, the other party is simply making the choice that most ordinary people would make out of fear, and there is nothing to criticize about it.

However, seeing this, Suga Natsumi seemed worried that Fujimaru Ritsuka would have a negative impression of Suga Keisuke, and couldn't help but explain on her behalf:

"Actually, Xiao Gui also has her own difficulties."

According to Suga Natsumi, Suga Keisuke's wife died in a car accident, leaving behind a daughter named Moka. However, Suga Keisuke's mother-in-law looks down on him and is unwilling to let him take care of her granddaughter. Therefore, the two sides are now fighting for custody.

"If something goes wrong at this time, Xiao Gui might lose custody of Xiao Menghua, which is why he doesn't want to cause trouble."

"So that's it..."

Hodaka Morishima was taken aback by what he heard.

More importantly, even under these circumstances, the other party was still willing to take him in after he ran away from home.

"Mr. Keisuke is indeed a good person."

Thinking this through, Hodaka Morishima finally smiled with relief, then said with a firm look in his eyes:

"In that case, I can't cause them any more trouble."

Then, he looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said:

"Miss Ritsuka, what should we do next?"
