Conan's Unscientific Detective

"Speaking of which, Miss Niname."

After a moment of silence, Fujino looked at Shinna Kaori and asked doubtfully, "Just now I seemed to have heard you talk to Mr. Shinna about the Samonji series. Will the Detective Samonji series continue to be serialized?"

He had originally planned to check out the Detective Samonji series.

If it ends badly, he might lose most of his interest, right?

Although he vaguely remembered that the new name Xiangbaori would be written down, but after these things happened, things might change...

"of course."

Shinna Kaori recovered and nodded seriously, "I will inherit my father's legacy and continue writing the Samonji series... I will live up to the name of Shinna Rentaro."

"That's good."

Fujino breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the person involved has said so, there is a high probability that Detective Samonji will not become a eunuch.

He could watch with peace of mind.

Shinna Xiang Houli is still very young, only twenty-two years old.

If she could keep writing, it is estimated that Detective Samonji would most likely not be finished in her lifetime.

Suddenly, Fujino recalled an online article in his previous life that he read from elementary school until graduation...

But then again, why did he feel like he had heard of it somewhere?

…………

Night falls.

It's very late.

Shinna Kaori was busy dealing with her father's funeral. After all, Shinna Rentaro was a best-selling novelist after all, and there were some things that Mrs. Shinna could not handle alone...

After gaining an additional 50 points of detective reputation, Fujino drove a Ford Taurus with Haibara Ai and Miyano Akemi and set off on the journey home.

He wasn't worried about the commission, just the amount.

Besides, to him, Shinname Kaori's connections were even more valuable.

Detective work is not about fighting and killing, but about the human relationships and worldly wisdom.

This unpaid commission is an important driving force for contact. With the connections in Shinmei Xiang Baoli's circle, there is a certain probability that you will receive commissions from people in that circle in the future.

In the car.

Sitting in the back seat, Haibara Ai looked at Fujino in the driver's seat with confusion.

She has been observing Fujino since just now.

She found that it took Fujino less than six hours from the time he discovered the case on the street to the time it was solved.

"It took such a short time to solve this case."

Huihara Ai pondered in her heart, "That look of no hesitation, it's as if she knew the truth from the beginning..."

She even vaguely felt that the deciphering of the secret code just now was a loophole left for her by the other party.

"No way?"

Huihara Ai shook her little head, her brown hair swaying gently, and put aside the unrealistic thoughts.

Doubts still linger in my mind.

She was curious.

But, I can’t ask Fujino directly.

After all, her current hidden identity is just that of an elementary school student.

Well, since you are an elementary school student...

"Fujino, you're really amazing!"

Huihara Ai showed her little girl appearance again, looking at Fujino with admiration, and then asked Miyano Akemi: "Akemi, is the detective always like this?"

"Probably not..."

Miyano Akemi thought for a moment and seemed a little confused. She asked Fujino, "By the way, Fujino-kun, how did you find out that Mr. Niname was not kidnapped?"

"Do you believe me if I tell you I can predict the future?"

"Ugh?!"

Originally, Fujino was just joking, but Miyano Akemi really believed it, "Fujino-kun, can you really predict the future?"

"........."

Haibara Ai and Fujino both looked at Miyano Akemi speechlessly.

"Just kidding."

After a moment, Fujino chuckled, glanced at Haibara Ai in the rearview mirror, and thought: Is this another routine of pretending to be a child?

Retracting his gaze, he continued, "It's not about predicting the future, but the detective's intuition."

"Detective's intuition?"

"Intuition is hard to explain. It's like a natural perception. Most of the time, I follow my intuition and always find the truth of things."

After a pause, Fujino chuckled again: "If I could predict the future, I would have played the lottery a long time ago. Wouldn't that make more money than being a detective?"

"Intuition...?"

Haibara Ai lowered her head and chose to trust her intuition.

“Although intuition is also outrageous, it is still much more reasonable than predicting the future.”

…………

Soon, they returned to Fujino's home in Go-chome.

As it was getting late, Haibara Ai temporarily stayed at the Fujino family.

Since Miyano Akemi and Haibara Ai were in love with each other, Haibara Ai lived in the bedroom on the third floor.

The next morning was school day.

Normally, Fujino should wash up, take a shower, and then go to school.

But this morning, he did not do so.

Fujino deliberately asked Hiratsuka Shizuka for a day off, and went to Dr. Agasa's house with Miyano Akemi and Haibara Ai.

It's all about Haibara Ai.

After arriving at Dr. Agasa's house, before Fujino could say a few words, Miyano Akemi started to speak:

"You elders are so irresponsible. How could you let a little girl go out alone in the middle of the night and freeze? She passed out in the rain before. Fortunately, she met us. What would we do if she was kidnapped by bad guys..."

At this time, Miyano Akemi was unusually strong.

It looked like the elder sister came to ask for an explanation because her younger sister was bullied.

Fujino was stunned by what he saw.

Haibara Ai couldn't help but be stunned, and an invisible smile appeared on her face.

Different from the cold smile in the past.

This time, the smile seemed to come from the heart.

Dr. Agasa was bewildered.

This powerful attack made him unable to raise his head.

He wondered why he was being criticized as he had done nothing.

Just as Dr. Agasa was puzzled, Haibara Ai suddenly ran over.

Leaning close to him, she said calmly, "If we just wander around the streets like this, we'll probably be discovered by the organization... If the shrunken me is discovered by the organization, I'm afraid your deeds will be discovered soon, too, right?"

As she spoke, the corners of Huihara Ai's cold face slightly raised: "By then, I'm afraid you and Kudo Shinichi will not be able to escape. You don't want to be discovered by the organization and then executed, right?"

Hearing Haibara Ai's naked threat, Dr. Agasa swallowed.

Obviously, Haibara Ai's threat touched him to the core.

But at this time, Huihara Ai's gloomy expression gradually faded: "Actually, I don't want to do this... I just have no choice. Now I have nowhere to go... Oh, by the way, I told them that my parents are dead, and you are the only relative I have in this world... Of course, even if you refuse to help, I won't complain... Don't worry that I will expose you. I will fend for myself before being discovered by the organization."

Haibara Ai has a relatively good impression of Dr. Agasa.

Although he didn't give her much care, after learning her identity, he still kept her temporarily and gave her the name "Haihara Ai".

If Kudo Shinichi hadn't said those words that night...

Maybe, she will stay here.

Her initial thought was to let herself die.

But now, inexplicably, she seemed to have an extra concern.

"I understand."

Dr. Agasa sighed, as if he understood what Haibara Ai did.

He stood up and honestly admitted the mistake Miyano Akemi had just made, and said, "I'm really sorry, I didn't take good care of this child... After all, this child's parents just passed away a few days ago, and I am the only relative he has in this world."

As he spoke, Dr. Agasa scratched his bald head and said, "As you can see, I'm old... old. I really don't have the energy to take care of a little girl like Ai. If possible, can you please help take care of this child?"

"After all, judging from what has happened in the past few days, you are indeed very caring people, and this child seems to like getting along with you very much."

Dr. Agasa turned his head and looked at Huihara Ai beside him: "Is that so? Ai?"

Chapter 147 Ai-chan's Thousand-Layered Routine [3k Chapters]

"Ah."

Huibara Ai nodded calmly.

"Is this really okay?"

Miyano Akemi was stunned when she heard this.

To be honest, she actually likes this child very much and always feels like she is her own biological sister.

But her current situation...

After all, she is living under someone else's roof now, so to help take care of the children, she still needs the consent of the head of the family, Fujino.

Thinking of this, she frowned and looked at Fujino, as if asking something.

Fujino and Miyano Akemi looked at each other, and they understood Miyano Akemi's intentions.

He looked at Haibara Ai thoughtfully, and seeing a faint smile on Haibara Ai's cold face, he immediately pinched his eyebrows and felt speechless.

Well, my guess about him was absolutely correct.

Behind all these acting skills are Ai-chan’s thousands of tricks!

If he guessed correctly, the look she put on yesterday was probably to ruthlessly harvest his favor and demonstrate her own value.

And when she returned home at night and stayed in Miyano Akemi's room, she must have said something...

No wonder Miyano Akemi is so strong today.

Taking in Haibara Ai wouldn't be a problem for Fujino. Having one more mouth wouldn't cause any extra expenses, and most importantly...

Thinking of this, Fujino took a deep breath and said to Dr. Agasa: "If you want to help take care of this child, I have nothing to say. After all, I have to go to school. If I want to take care of the child, it will mainly be Sister Mingmei who will trouble me."

"But my income is not stable now... I have to support my whole family."

After a pause, Fujino continued, "If there is one more child... it's okay for the adults to suffer a little, but no matter how hard it is, the child must not suffer..."

"You're right. No matter how hard it is, we can't let our children suffer."

Dr. Agasa forced a wry smile on his face.

Well, he agreed so quickly that I almost forgot about it.

"Two million yen, that should be fine, right?"
