The unscientific detective in Conan

Fujino naturally agreed to Brother Megure's request.

This kind of joint search is the opportunity that best reflects your own value.

What's more, there are Kyoto police here, so of course he has to get involved.

If he goes through this, he will definitely get closer to the police in Tokyo and Osaka.

After all, we have cooperated with the police in both places before.

As for the police in Kyoto, apart from the last Shinkansen incident and the incident with Kiichiro Numabuchi, they had no other contacts.

In terms of investigation, the police in both places will provide him with more conveniences, but the Kyoto side will not do much to help him.

In this way, with the help of Tokyo and Osaka, the clues he finds will eventually be credited to the two places.

Naturally, the Kyoto police who did not assist him will not get any credit.

After a joint operation, no clues were found in Kyoto. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for those gangsters in Kyoto?

The relationship between Kyoto and Tokyo is average, neither good nor bad. The relationship between Osaka and Kyoto is really not that good.

Although the counties are adjacent to each other, due to various reasons, the people in the two places are always not very happy. Basically, no one looks down on the other.

It would definitely not be the case for the police to discriminate against each other, but after all, the police were recruited from the local area, so there must be some intention on both sides that no one looks down on the other.

After thinking about it more deeply, I'm afraid the purpose of inviting him to join the joint search may be mixed.

Well, even if it doesn't, there will definitely be one after he passes.

Riding a motorcycle all the way to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Fujino parked his motorcycle in the parking lot of the Metropolitan Police Department, took out his work permit and hung it on his chest, and entered the Metropolitan Police Department building.

The Metropolitan Police Department was a bit more lively today, with various staff wearing casual clothes and carrying cameras, their arms wrapped in news media sleeves, walking vaguely on the first floor.

Following the crowd, he arrived near the press conference room on the second floor. As soon as he went upstairs, he heard someone calling him: "Fujino, this way."

This seiyuu's voice is very familiar, and so is his voice. If I'm not mistaken...

Fujino followed the sound and saw Sato Miwako, who was wearing a pink suit, a goose-yellow thin sweater, and black and gray stockings wrapped around her calves, walking over. She stopped in front of him, put her hands on her hips and said, "I just came from the Megure Police Department." I heard that you were coming, and considering that there was a press conference today and there were a lot of people, I came out to pick you up. Are you particularly touched? "

"Then you are so gentle, I cried to death."

Fujino showed his dead eyes: "I'm really touched that I call people to the Metropolitan Police Department on workdays and don't get overtime pay for critical work."

Miwako Sato felt helpless: "This guy, this is all he thinks about..."

Fujino folded his hands on his chest and said seriously and seriously: "If you want the horse to run, don't let the horse eat grass. If you don't talk about money when working, why should we talk about love?"

Sato Miwako's eyebrows moved slightly. She felt that something was wrong with what she said, but she felt that it made sense. She didn't think too much about it and turned around to lead the way: "Okay, let's go quickly. The press conference is about to start. Megure Police Department and the others It’s in the lounge of the press conference over there.”

Following Miwako Sato, Fujino came to the lounge of the conference room.

There were many familiar figures in the conference room that caught my eye. The Osaka Prefecture Headquarters had a good relationship with the boy Hattori, Otaki Goro, who had a scar on his eyebrow.

Brother Megure from the Metropolitan Police Department, and Shiratori Rensaburo.

But among a few people, there was a man Fujino had never seen before.

The man was wearing a gray suit that seemed to be customized by a famous brand. He had a slicked back hair and a small patch of hair blocking his sharply squinted left eye. The pupil was unusually small and you couldn't even tell what color it was.

Megure Thirteen noticed Sato who brought someone in, stood up and greeted Fujino: "Here you come, brother!"

Fujino felt that these words were a bit familiar. Having been persecuted by the Internet in his previous life, he always felt that there was something wrong with these words. After getting used to it, he stepped forward and said hello: "Otaki Police Department, when did you come here? Didn't that Black Chicken guy follow you? "

"It came almost yesterday."

Otaki Goro stood up from his seat: "That boy Apin always talks about you, and he wants to come with you this time, but he cannot participate in the joint investigation of the case as an amateur."

"Yeah, that's true."

Here, Fujino was chatting with an acquaintance.

The man sitting in the lounge squinted his eyes and looked at a young man who suddenly came in, chatting and laughing with a group of middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, with a confused look on his face, and a trace of confusion in his eyes.

…………

Metropolitan Police Department Press Room.

Otaki, Megure, Shiratori, and the strange man sat on the podium in the press room one after another.

Megure lowered his eyes and glanced at the speech script on the table: "Regarding the recent serial murders that occurred in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, according to the existing search results, the five people who were killed have been proven to be a gang of thieves [ Members of Hotaru Genji], therefore, in this case, the Metropolitan Police Department, Osaka Prefecture, and Kyoto Prefecture will jointly conduct a joint operation to investigate this case..."

The sound echoed through the live speakers in the press room.

On the left side of the podium, Takagi put his hands behind his back, pretending to be serious, looked at the strange man on the far left, and whispered to Fujino and Sato next to him: "Fujino-kun, Sato-san, I heard that Ayanokouji Fumimaro from Kyoto Prefecture seems to be a contemporary of the Shiratori Police Department.”

"Yeah, I know him."

Sato Miwako nodded: "He is a descendant of a noble family from a public family, and his nickname is the noble police inspector."

"Ayanokoji..."

Fujino murmured: "The branch family of Uda Genji is indeed aristocratic. It is estimated that their ancestors were all public servants, and their families are all in the political circle. If such people are offended, a small police officer like Takagi will be fired in a minute the next day because of his left foot entering the door."

Sato Miwako thought for a while, and nodded in agreement: "That's right."

Takagi: "..."

What kind of weird metaphor is this?

Why would I offend him?

What the hell is right? !

"Squeak!"

"Look at his left pocket."

Sato Miwako reminded everyone, and they saw a furry little animal with a brown-gray back and a milky white face suddenly emerged from Ayanokoji Fumimaro's pocket.

Takagi was surprised: "What is that?"

Sato Miwako explained: "That's his pet chipmunk. It is said that he carries it with him wherever he goes. He is even weirder than Shiratori."

Fujiano took a look and said: "If you think about it carefully, it's normal. After all, nobles like this official family have strict family traditions, especially three generations of purebred Kyoto people in Kyoto. They must not have many friends in normal times. I guess they can only choose to play with mice."

Takagi was speechless: "Then being a noble seems to be very troublesome..."

"Ahem, anyway, let's be quiet."

Fujiano glanced at the reporters who noticed this side in the audience: "There are still a lot of reporters in the audience. It would be bad if they were found to be slacking off and reported, especially Takagi. Slacking off is too obvious."

Sato Miwako: "Takagi, shut up."

Takagi: Why am I always the one who gets hurt?

Fujiano remained calm and continued to observe Ayanokouji Fumimaro.

He had some impression of this Kyoto police officer.

However, he didn't appear many times, so he didn't know what kind of person he was.

At this time, a reporter asked in the audience: "Excuse me, can you give us a detailed introduction to this organization called Genji Hotaru?"

On the podium, Shiratori glanced at the three people who were slacking off next to him, and calmly looked down at the speech manuscript: "Genji Hotaru has been active in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and other places since around the third year of the Heisei era, stealing famous Buddhist statues and artworks in succession. They call each other by the names of Yoshitsune's retainers, and they all have the same Yoshitsune Ki."

After Shiratori finished speaking, Fumimaro Ayanokouji next to him took over the conversation: "The leader of Genji Hotaru is Yoshitsune, and his subordinates include Benkei, Ise Saburo and a total of eight members. Except for these three, the other five were killed, and Yoshitsune was also robbed at the same time."

As soon as he finished speaking here, another reporter who had been arranged in advance asked in the audience: "Is the information about the criminal clear now?"

This time, it was Otaki who answered: "Based on the information we have confirmed so far, the murderer is very likely to be proficient in swordsmanship, bows and arrows, and throwing techniques, but we have no reliable information about Yoshitsune, Benkei, and Ise Saburo."

Megure Jusan was finishing up as he had rehearsed: "In short, our joint operation this time will arrest the criminals and the remnants of the thieves' gang as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he stood up and looked to the left: "At the same time, our Metropolitan Police Department's special criminal consultant, Fujino Doji, who has many experiences in organized crime and solving many murder cases, will also participate in the investigation of the case. We will strive to catch the real murderer as soon as possible and bring the thieves' gang to justice."

After the conventional official routine, Fujino walked forward and bowed slightly, and then the reporters in the audience clapped their hands frantically.

…………

After the press conference, the meeting room of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"The first case occurred in Tokyo Nishi National University in Kanto. The victims were Kataoka Hachiro, Kamei Rokuro, and Washio Shichiro. They were killed by arrows piercing their hearts, and by samurai swords slashing their necks. Judging from the wounds, the murderer should have killed them with a sword."

Sato Miwako took a file bag, put it on the table, and introduced the case: "The second case occurred in a dormitory in Kansai. The victim was named Bizen Heishiro. He was stabbed in the chest by a dagger and a flying knife. The third case occurred in Higashiyama, Kyoto. The victim was also killed by a criminal using a samurai sword."

"Just like what was said at the press conference just now, the murderer is a guy who is proficient in swordsmanship, bows and arrows, and flying knife skills."

Otaki Goro sat opposite: "Advisor Fujino, I heard from Heizo The director said that your swordsmanship is very powerful. I wonder if you can tell what style this guy uses? "

Fujiano looked at the photos in the file bag and shook his head: "The style this guy uses can only be seen when you see the scene. There are too many styles that can kill with one sword."

"That's true."

Megure Jusan responded: "That guy was originally a thief. He was very cautious. There were no clues left at the scene to infer his identity. He almost asked the victim out and killed him directly in the dark."

"What about the investigation of the victim's interpersonal relationships?"

Fujiano asked: "They must have some connection, right?"

"We have already investigated this without you, the consultant, telling us."

Ayanokouji Fumimaro, who was sitting aside, suddenly spoke at this time, with a somewhat impolite tone: "As a gang of thieves, they are very cautious in doing things, and there is almost no identity connection. The only person with identity connection is among the five people who died. , we conclude that they may have provoked enemies, or it may be internal strife, but the most important thing now is to find Benkei Yoshitsune and Ise Saburo in the Genji Hotaru organization, and we have begun to investigate. "

Fujino: "..."

I'm sorry to say that I didn't find it.

Does it prove that your Kyoto Prefecture is a waste?

Sure enough, the Kyoto police are not good people.

Well, except for a certain eldest lady.

Megure Thirteen glanced at Ayanokouji Fumimaro, changed the topic and asked Fujino: "Brother Fujino, do you have any ideas?"

"It is indeed very likely that there is internal strife between them. Otherwise, no one would be able to easily learn their identities and take them to a place where no one is around to kill them."

"As for the cause of internal strife, it is most likely due to uneven distribution of the spoils, or someone wants to monopolize the treasure."

Fujino frowned: "If this is the case, it will be difficult to investigate this case. If the Kyoto Prefectural Police's intelligence network cannot find those people, then I am afraid we will have to wait until the other party commits the crime next time. At least... Determine the opponent’s current location.”

Mumu Shisan sighed: "It seems that this is the only way."

…………

After learning more about the case, Fujino left the Metropolitan Police Department and returned home.

There is not much intelligence from the police, which is in line with the setting of the Neon police being poor at their work.

As for this case...

As a great prophet, he was somewhat impressed.

In his memory, Yoshitsune should be the crossroads of the labyrinth.

But he wasn't too impressed with this theatrical version.

I probably remember that the Mori Brother Temple was entrusted to Kyoto, and then Conan and Heiji solved the case, and finally fought with a group of people with knives to find Buddha statues and the like...

In other words, the breakthrough lies with Brother Maori.

Parking the car in the underground garage, Fujino had just planned to go to Brother Maori's house to see if Brother Maori had received any commissions.

Then passing by Snow King Ice City, I saw a familiar figure.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko.

Well, you don’t need to come to the door, I’ll find you here.

Fujino entered the Snow King Ice City, greeted the two people, and after a brief conversation, he determined the purpose of the two people coming to him.

To put it simply, Brother Maori received a commission from a temple. After Xiaolan heard about it, she revealed it to Yuanzi. When Yuanzi heard about it, she wanted to go to Kyoto with her.

Basically, it matches what Fujino remembers.

As for why you came to him...

The main reason is that Xiaolan thinks that Fujino has been to Kyoto several times and should be familiar with Kyoto, so she plans to take him along with her as a guide.

And thinking about the fact that when I went out with Sonoko before, I always took Fujino with me to form a threesome. Now if I don’t take Fujino with me, I always feel a little uncomfortable.

In this regard, Fujino can only say that these two good friends are really good friends.

If something really happens, call him.
