Conan's Unscientific Detective

The current strength is sufficient for the time being, and there is no need to upgrade.

If you draw a lottery, you'll win 8.9 million yen each time.

These 10 million yen will then drop directly to less than 2 million yen.

It's always a good idea to save more money, just in case.

Chapter 241: Winery? Zoo? Fight!

Two days later, Saturday.

Teitan Elementary School Festival.

On the stadium stage, Ayumi knelt on the ground in sorrow, crying out to Genta, who had a knife stuck in his chest, "Dad!"

“It’s really sad.”

Haibara Ai stood aside, wearing a white T-shirt, a black suit jacket, and a hip skirt, with a cold face, and spoke calmly.

"This is a tragedy caused by... a misunderstanding between father and daughter!"

Mitsuhiko pointed at Genta and spoke haltingly, obviously a little stage fright.

"..."

Conan had a droopy face, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.

They actually let him, a 17-year-old high school student, perform such a childish play...

But then again, how on earth did Haibara behave so naturally?

……

After the performance, Xiaolan came backstage carrying a bag of drinks.

“The performance just now was really wonderful.”

As she praised them, she took out drinks from the bag and distributed them to the people who had just finished their performances.

"Really, Sister Xiaolan?"

Ayumi took a bottle of peach drink, raised her head and looked at Xiaolan, looking as pure as a little girl.

"Uh-huh."

Xiaolan nodded like a big sister next door, turned around, and asked Fujino who came over with her: "Fujiano-senpai, what do you think of their performance?"

Fujino, who was slacking off on the side, was stunned when he heard this.

Why are you asking him about this?

This time, the play performed by the Junior Detective Team is the police-themed "New Police Story".

Haibara Ai plays a policewoman, whose prototype seems to be Sato Miwako.

Conan and Mitsuhiko play a police officer and a police assistant, whose prototypes may be Takagi and Megure Juzo.

Genta plays the victim, the president, and Ayumi plays the murderer, who is the president's daughter.

The daughter murdered her biological father, the president, because of an outrageous thing.

The popular Rice Flower Theater.

Fujino sorted out his words in his mind, and then gave an objective answer without making things too serious: "The performance was not bad. For an elementary school student, it was also a good argument and reasoning."

"hey-hey!"

Ayumi happily opened the drink and took a sip, "Actually, this script was written by Conan."

"Ugh?"

Xiaolan looked at Conan in surprise: "I didn't expect Conan to have the talent to be a screenwriter."

"It's nothing."

Conan awkwardly took a bottle of oolong tea from Xiaolan, "It's all thanks to everyone's acting skills."

“Everyone’s acting is very good.”

Xiaolan nodded in agreement and turned to look at Huibara Ai: "Especially Ai, she was so absorbed in her acting, so cute."

"That's right, Haibara-san's acting is really great."

Ayumi, who was holding a peach drink, echoed the sentiment, "It seems that Ai will become a popular actress in the future."

"A popular actress?!"

Mitsuhiko glanced at Haibara Ai and his face immediately turned red.

A scene of her becoming a popular actress in the future vaguely emerged in my mind.

"I guess she's always been acting..."

Conan showed dead fish eyes and complained secretly in his heart.

"cute?"

Huibara tilted her head sadly and subconsciously turned her gaze to Fujino.

"Ah."

Fujino nodded and groaned, then looked at the suit on Huihara Ai and commented, "This suit suits you very well. It gives you a mature and cute feeling."

"..."

An invisible blush appeared on Haibara Ai's fair little face.

She glanced calmly at the black suit Fujino was wearing.

Then he lowered his head and took a look at the smaller black business suit he was wearing.

Mature and cute feeling?

…………

At noon, the school festival of Teitan Elementary School ended.

A few people were on their way out of Teitan Elementary School.

"By the way, Xiaolan."

Fujino asked Xiaolan in confusion, "Why didn't I see Uncle Maori when I went to pick you up this morning?"

"My dad was planning to come along."

Xiaolan responded, "But he had an appointment with the doctor for a checkup today, and he went to the hospital for the checkup early in the morning."

Fujino asked in surprise: "Uncle Maori is feeling unwell?"

"Yes."

Xiaolan sighed, "Dad has been feeling very tired lately."

Fujino frowned when he heard this.

It reminds me of Uncle Maori often going to the izakaya.

Why does this symptom sound familiar?

Could it be that it's fake?

…………

Several people came to the school gate.

Fujino got into the driver's seat of the Ford Taurus and asked Huiyuan Ai who was following him outside the car window: "Xiao Ai, won't you come back with me?"

"You go home first."

Huihara Ai changed back into her normal attire and said, "I'm going to go to Dr. Agasa's house with them today."

"That's it..."

Fujino reminded Huihara Ai again: "Be careful on the road, remember to come back early, and call me if you have any problems."

"Ah."

Huiyuan Ai nodded calmly and said softly: "You too, be careful on the road."

Watching the backs of Haibara Ai and the Junior Detective Team leaving, Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly.

If he guessed correctly, Haibara Ai should have gone to Dr. Agasa's house to research the antidote for APTX4869, right?

He has not yet equipped Haibara Ai with a computer. Although he has a laptop that is far ahead of its time, it contains too many secrets and he naturally cannot let Haibara Ai use it.

So normally, to research the antidote, Haibara Ai still has to go to Dr. Agasa.

Looks like I need to get two computers that are in line with this era...

noon.

In front of a computer mall in a commercial street near Beika-cho.

"Computers in this era are really expensive."

Fujino sat in the car, glanced at the three computers in the back seat, and sighed.

These three big-head computers cost him about 300,000 yen.

Even after the discount it still costs more than 200,000 yen.

It is equivalent to the salary of an excellent corporate slave in this era.

But for Fujino, it wasn't much.

He could make the money back by robbing the evil and helping the poor.

"The Metropolitan Police Department announced earlier that the notice that Kaito Kid had previously released had been cancelled by him personally. Is the cancellation of the notice this time another sign that Kaito Kid is about to retire?"

At this moment, there was a sudden empty sound outside the car window.

Fujino looked outside the car. The source of the sound was a large screen on the top of a building not far away.

On the screen was a report about a beautiful woman with golden hair:

"The owner of the ruby and the leader of the Thaumaturgy Magic Group, Judy Hopper, expressed her opinion on the matter. She said, 'It is a pity that we cannot see the magic of Kaito Kid.'"

"Judy Hopper?"

Fujino recognized the woman on the big screen at a glance.

It was Judy Hopper, the owner of the Crimson Tear, whom he had seen in the newspaper a few days ago.

But Fujino was a little confused.

Normally, once Kuroba Kaito sets his sights on a target, he should not give up until he achieves his goal, but now he has canceled his own announcement...

"It seems that the notice letter a few days ago was sent by a fake person?"

Putting his thoughts aside, Fujino decided not to meddle in other people's business and planned to drive home.

But just as he started the engine, he suddenly heard a system prompt sound:

"A new detective professional mission has been detected, please check it out!"

"Detective professional mission?"

Fujino exclaimed in surprise when he heard this, and then looked around.

There were no murders happening around.

He waved his fingertips and curiously called up the system task interface:

[Detective Career Mission: Everyday Thief

Mission objective: Catch the thief

Mission Reward: 300,000 yen, 50 detective reputation points]

"A normal thief-catching mission?"
