Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"People like Sherlock Holmes should be our role models!"

Moriarty neither confirmed nor denied this, but simply said indignantly:

"So, another Sherlock fan? How infuriating!"

He was referring to the detestable Sherlock Holmes himself when he said "despicable," but Conan thought he was talking about him, so he snorted in return:

"Hmph, each other!"

After that, he turned around and left.

As a die-hard Sherlock Holmes fan, he resolutely distanced himself from Moriarty's fans!

Seeing Conan return to her side after arguing with the other person, Ran Mouri covered her mouth and chuckled:

"It's rare to see Conan acting so childish, and the way he argues with others for Holmes is just like Shinichi."

"that."

After Ran's words, Conan suddenly came to his senses and scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

Sonoko Suzuki, standing to the side, looked at him with disdain and said:

"So, this brat might grow up to be just as annoying as Shinichi, right?"

Sonoko, you rascal!

Upon hearing this, Conan's temple veins bulged.

In contrast to the cheerful atmosphere on Conan's side, on the other side, Ai Haibara, with a dark face, immediately began to lecture Ritsuka Fujimaru:

"Do you know how dangerous what you just did was?! They have guns! What if they suddenly opened fire?!"

When she heard Fujimaru Ritsuka offer to be a hostage on the other side, her heart nearly jumped out of her chest.

If even Fujimaru Ritsuka gets into trouble!

As she thought about it, a wave of fear washed over her, and tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.

When Fujimaru Ritsuka saw that Ai Haibara was crying, he was stunned for a moment, and the lighthearted mood he had been feeling vanished instantly.

She knelt down in front of Ai Haibara, reached out and stroked Ai Haibara's hair, and whispered:

"sorry that I had you worried."

Although she knew she wasn't putting herself at risk, but simply doing what she was confident in and capable of, her actions did indeed frighten and unsettle Ai Haibara, who cared about her, which was her mistake.

puff.

Ai Haibara didn't say anything, but took a step forward and threw herself into Ritsuka Fujimaru's arms.

Quietly feeling the other person's body temperature, the emotions that had suddenly erupted in her heart gradually subsided.

However, the three members of the Junior Detective Club who were watching from the sidelines all showed expressions of surprise upon seeing this.

"Eh~, I never expected Ai to be able to act cute like that! That's surprising!"

"Yes, Ai usually seems very aloof. I never expected her to have this side to her."

"But they're just kids around our age, so it's normal for them to want to act cute!"

"."

Hearing the three chattering, Ai Haibara suddenly realized what was happening, and her face instantly turned crimson.

However, even so, she did not leave Fujimaru Ritsuka's embrace. Instead, she burrowed even deeper into his arms like an ostrich, escaping reality.

Anyway, I look like a child right now, so what's wrong with that?!

She thought to herself in a self-destructive way.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 89, the very last thing: a lottery, a trip?

Since it was a serious armed robbery case, our old friend Inspector Megure was the one who came.

After he led the police team in, he first scanned the area and did not find Kogoro Mouri, but he did find Ran Mouri, Ritsuka Fujimaru, and others among the so-called robbers.

So he went over and greeted them:

"It's you, Ritsuka, and Ran is here too."

"?!"

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes widened in disbelief, and she immediately cried out in grievance:

"It really wasn't me this time!!"

Inspector Megure was also taken aback upon hearing this, and then explained:

"I was just saying hello to you, that's all."

"Ah, uh, oh"

She belatedly realized what was happening, and then touched her neck somewhat embarrassedly, feeling that she might have been a little overreacted.

Apart from a few people who knew about Fujimaru Ritsuka's deeds, they all looked on with curiosity upon hearing their strange conversation, wondering what they were talking about.

"Is such that."

Seeing Moriarty's inquisitive gaze, Ai Haibara, who had somehow left Fujimaru Ritsuka's embrace, gave him a brief account of Fujimaru Ritsuka's life.

After listening, Moriarty smiled wryly:

"As expected of Ritsuka, she always attracts attention wherever she goes."

as always?

Moriarty's remarks drew the attention of Ai Haibara and Conan once again. His reaction to Fujimaru Ritsuka's dangerous situation earlier was also somewhat strange, as if he trusted her completely, or as if it were commonplace.

Has Fujimaru Ritsuka always lived like this?

That's too tragic!

With their minds in turmoil, both men began to formally address the case, starting with confiscating the bandit's handgun.

"Ok?"

After receiving the pistol, Inspector Megure showed a hint of surprise and asked Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"After you took the gun from the bandits, did you do anything else with it?"

She replied:

"To prevent the gun from accidentally discharging, I put all the safety mechanisms on."

"Oh, I see. No wonder."

Megure nodded, then smiled with some surprise:

"I didn't expect you to know so much about firearms, Ritsuka. You're really amazing."

She smiled somewhat shyly:

"Because I had studied shooting in Garrison before and was taught some knowledge about firearms, it's nothing special."

Learning to shoot at home? And also learning about firearms?

Conan and Ai Haibara exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

Then, Conan approached Sonoko Suzuki, who was standing nearby, and asked her:

"Sonoko-neechan, is it fashionable for girls from wealthy families to learn shooting now?"

"what?"

Sonoko Suzuki said speechlessly:

"What an idiotic question. It's impossible for something like this to become popular. Even as a personal hobby, it's quite niche."

"Haha, you're right."

Conan chuckled and scratched his head, then, as if remembering something, asked:

"By the way, Sonoko-neechan, Ritsuka-neechan is also from a wealthy family. Haven't you met her before?"

As the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, Sonoko Suzuki, although not interested in those so-called high-society social events, would occasionally attend them, so she should know many high-society families.

"No, there are plenty of rich people in Japan, how could I possibly know them all?"

Sonoko Suzuki shook her head, then said with some suspicion:

"Why are you so keen on finding out about Ritsuka? What are you trying to do?"

"It's nothing, I was just curious."

Conan immediately pretended to be a child, scratching his head and laughing it off.

At the same time, he became increasingly suspicious.

Based on the information we have gathered so far about Fujimaru Ritsuka, it is basically certain that she is a runaway heiress from a prominent family.

Based on the information provided by Sonoko Suzuki, this family is not a well-known one.

However, this did not make Fujimaru Ritsuka's identity clearer. On the contrary, the various pieces of information revealed during the investigation made her situation even more elusive.

First, there's the butler, James. His attitude towards Fujimaru Ritsuka in this incident was as if she frequently encountered such dangerous situations and was used to it, and he trusted her completely.

Then there's the skill displayed by Fujimaru Ritsuka, which suggests that she, like Ran, has been training in combat for a long time.

And just now, the other party indicated that she had also received training in shooting and firearms knowledge.

This new combination of intelligence gave him a sense of absurdity and disbelief.

What kind of family would subject their young lady to long-term combat training, learning shooting and firearms, and seemingly constantly putting her in danger?!

Gangs? Underworld? Mafia?

This was Conan's first reaction, but Fujimaru Ritsuka's words and actions made him feel that she didn't seem like someone from the underworld.

It's just weird anyway.

While Conan was still struggling with his decision, Inspector Megure had already taken all the robbers away, collected evidence, and hurriedly left after saying goodbye to Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others.
