"What... is this...?"

(End of this chapter)

Is Chapter 4 already beginning?

Shiho Miyano held her head and slowly sat up, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.

Because her sister was ruthlessly killed by the organization, she stopped her drug research in protest and was imprisoned. Originally, she wanted to commit suicide by taking APTX4869, but unexpectedly, she turned into a child after taking the drug, and thus successfully escaped from the organization.

After escaping, she prepared to find Shinichi Kudo, who had also turned into a child, but she nearly bumped into someone on the way, then fell and passed out.

"here it is?!"

Recalling the whole incident, Shiho Miyano felt a pang of anxiety, fearing that she had been captured by the Black Organization again.

But she quickly realized from the sofa beneath her, the blanket covering her, and the bright and cozy decor around her that she wasn't in the organization's prison cell, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she began to carefully examine her surroundings.

She was currently on the sofa in the living room, in front of which sat a large coffee table piled high with various comic books, game cartridges, figurines, unopened snacks, and a large shopping bag full of items.

It looks like these items were just purchased by the homeowner and haven't been tidied up yet after being placed on the coffee table.

Apart from the area around the sofa and coffee table where she was, the furniture in other places was arranged very neatly, but it didn't look like the homeowner often took care of it; rather, it looked like it wasn't used often.

In addition, she also discovered that her white coat had disappeared at some point, but her underwear, which had not been wet by the rain, was still on her body.

Most importantly, the children's clothes she was wearing were not brand new.

"Click."

"Hey, you're awake."

The bathroom door opened, and Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had just finished showering, came out in her pajamas. Her delicate skin, fresh from the hot water, looked rosy, and she was surrounded by steaming water vapor. Her hair, which had been tied up during the day, was now down, making her look even cuter than usual.

Shiho Miyano recognized the cute girl in front of her as the person she had almost bumped into on the street earlier.

It seems she was rescued after fainting and then taken home.

"How are you feeling? Is there anything bothering you?"

Seeing that Shiho Miyano had woken up, Ritsuka Fujimaru poured a cup of hot water and brought it over, only to find that the coffee table was piled high with her things, leaving no extra space.

"Forehead,"

She quickly cleared a space, put down her water glass, and smiled somewhat awkwardly:

"Because I just moved here and haven't had time to unpack yet, haha."

"Sorry, I almost bumped into you. You collapsed on the ground, and it was raining heavily outside, which made me a little worried, so I took the liberty of bringing you back."

".It doesn't matter."

Finally, after a long silence, Shiho Miyano slowly uttered a few words.

She had been observing silently since the beginning, but she couldn't sense any aura of an organization member from the other person. Moreover, the other person's words and actions showed that she was just an ordinary girl with a kind heart.

If the other party hadn't taken her home and cared for her while she was unconscious, she probably wouldn't have had the chance to get up again on such a rainy night, given her already weak condition.

"Thank you for taking care of me. I should go now."

The other person was her savior, but precisely because of that, she couldn't let him get into trouble.

She didn't know if the organization had discovered her defection, but she was certain that the longer she stayed there, the more dangerous her situation would become.

Then, she solemnly instructed Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Also, please don't tell anyone anything about me. I can't explain why, but please."

"Are you leaving now?"

Hearing that Shiho Miyano was preparing to leave, Ritsuka Fujimaru didn't try to stop her. However, looking at the still torrential rain outside the window, she scratched her cheek and said:

"It's so late, and it's raining heavily outside. Isn't it dangerous for you to be out alone? I ordered takeout. How about we eat first, and then I'll take you wherever you want to go?"

"No need, I can manage on my own."

Shiho Miyano politely declined Ritsuka Fujimaru's offer, not wanting the girl to have anything to do with it.

however--

"Goo-"

A long, melodious sound came from her belly, causing Shiho Miyano to freeze on the spot. A blush slowly spread from her neck to her cheeks, making her feel ashamed and indignant.

But there was nothing she could do about it. She hadn't eaten properly since she was imprisoned, and the journey from the organization to here had exhausted her energy, leaving her extremely weak and instinctively craving to replenish her strength.

"Knock knock."

Just then, a knock came at the door, just as expected. Fujimaru Ritsuka exclaimed happily:

"It looks like the takeout has arrived. Let's eat first!"

Seeing that Shiho Miyano blushed and nodded slightly, changing her mind, Ritsuka Fujimaru smiled and ran over to open the door.

"I'm coming!"

With things having come to this point, Shiho Miyano could only sit down again.

But just then, a loud 'bang!' suddenly came from the entrance hall, followed by the scream of a strange man.

Shiho Miyano's face turned pale instantly, and she rushed towards the entrance, shouting:

"do not want!"

She had just rushed to the entrance hall when the scene before her made her freeze again.

She initially thought the brewery had discovered her whereabouts and come knocking on her door, but what appeared before her was a strange man who had collapsed in the entryway, with Fujimaru Ritsuka standing beside him looking bewildered, as if she had no idea what had happened.

".what happened?"

Not only was Shiho Miyano puzzled, but Ritsuka Fujimaru herself was also somewhat baffled, saying:

“I don’t know for sure, but he’s not a delivery driver. As soon as I opened the door, he lunged at me, and I instinctively fought back, which is how this happened.”

"Is he a pervert?"

Shiho Miyano's expression turned serious.

Although she was somewhat surprised by the skills that Fujimaru Ritsuka had indirectly displayed, the more important thing now was to deal with the pervert in front of her.

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally saw the man's face clearly and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?"

Seeing Shiho Miyano looking at her questioningly, Ritsuka Fujimaru explained:

"I think I've seen this person near my house before."

"In other words, this was probably not a sudden, impulsive attack."

Upon hearing this, Shiho Miyano's eyes narrowed, suspecting that the man might have premeditated the crime, having previously scouted the area near Fujimaru Ritsuka's house in preparation for his crime.

"Anyway, let's call the police first."

Fujimaru Ritsuka then called the police and asked Miyano Shiho to get some tape from the room and tie the man up securely.

A short while later, the police arrived, led by Inspector Megure, a familiar face.

Upon seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka, Inspector Megure's face showed a strange expression, and he said with complicated feelings:

"It's you again, Ritsuka. This is the third time, isn't it?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 5: Is Fujimaru Ritsuka a Rich Heiress?

The first time was when I was kidnapped in a restaurant, the second time was when I was robbed in a jewelry store, and the third time is now.

Having encountered three cases in just a few days, Inspector Megure's gaze towards Fujimaru Ritsuka became somewhat complicated, as this trend inevitably reminded him of several other acquaintances.

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her cheek, awkwardly and dissatisfiedly defending herself:

"Inspector Megure, I'm the victim!"

"Ah, too."

Inspector Megure also realized that this was different from the other detectives he knew.

Those detectives just encountered cases frequently, but Fujimaru Ritsuka's situation was much worse than theirs; she was always the victim whenever she encountered a case.

Thanks to her excellent martial arts skills, an ordinary person would probably have been in grave danger.

Thinking of this, Inspector Megure stopped complaining, and his gaze towards Fujimaru Ritsuka became filled with pity. He reached out and patted her shoulder, sighing:

"Thank you so much for your hard work."

"Let's get back to the main topic."

Fujimaru Ritsuka recounted the events to him, and after listening, Higurashi Juzo unconsciously frowned.

The whole incident is quite simple: a man attacked Fujimaru Ritsuka, who then defended herself. It's not a big deal, but it's not a small one either. The problem is that it's all just Fujimaru Ritsuka's account, without any concrete evidence.

As long as the man insists that he did not attack Fujimaru Ritsuka, they really can't do anything about him for the time being.

Unexpectedly, after regaining his senses, the man not only did not deny his actions, but also recounted his entire crime in great detail.

The man was unemployed and relied on his parents for financial support. When he had money, he would play marbles, and when he didn't, he would wander around outside. Occasionally, he would extort money from elementary school students to earn some extra cash. He was a complete hoodlum.

A few days ago, he happened to see Fujimaru Ritsuka moving alone. Seeing that she was always alone and had no family with her, and that she was not only very cute but also looked quite rich, he suddenly had a wicked thought.

After observing in secret for two days and confirming that Fujimaru Ritsuka was indeed alone at home, he saw the torrential rain that night as an excellent opportunity and took action.

But to his utter surprise, this cute girl was incredibly strong, knocking him unconscious in just one exchange.

"."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was speechless after hearing this, never expecting that such a melodramatic thing would happen to her.

She was also curious as to why the prisoner was so cooperative.
