Conan's Unscientific Detective

Nagara Haruka glanced at the white masks around her, "But most of those who got these masks didn't have a good ending... most of them died accidentally."

"Cursed Mask..."

Fujino glanced at the masks displayed around the room and pursed his chin.

Even though the Xiao Hei who was about to take action was him, he was indeed about to die.

In a way, these masks are indeed a bit evil.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, neither jewelers nor bankers are good people.

Their killing was probably just a matter of probability.

It just happened that he got the mask and attracted attention.

Thinking of this, Fujino asked Sufang Hongzi with a hint of deep meaning: "But speaking of which, Miss Sufang, the power of one mask is so great. If you collect these two hundred masks, aren't you afraid of being cursed to death?"

"Haha, Detective Fujino can rest assured about this. Since I dare to collect these masks, I must have a safety measure..."

Sufang Hongzi chuckled, thinking that Fujino was concerned about her. "Actually, after I got these masks, I asked a powerful psychic to seal them all up. The structure of this villa is prepared to seal these masks."

"So this is ah……"

Fujino smiled in agreement.

He might believe in fortune tellers, magicians and the like.

As for the psychic...

Do you really think this is a corpse collector?

Well, this silly old lady was definitely fooled by the charlatan.

"Touya, why are you so late today?"

At this time, Sufang Hongzi suddenly called out.

Fujino looked back and saw a golden-haired man walking in with a letter in his hand: "I'm on a national tour now... Please forgive me for being a little late..."

He recognized the golden-haired man at a glance. It was another Xiao Hei, the son of the female assistant who was murdered that year, Aikawa Touya.

"By the way, Mr. Sufang, our detective agency received a strange letter. It's for you."

Aichuan Fuyuya held a letter and handed it to Sufang Hongzi. "There is no sender's name on it, and the handwriting is very suspicious."

"Another letter like this..."

Su Fang Hongzi opened the envelope, took a look at the contents, and said bitterly, "Who on earth is playing this prank?"

"Ms. Su Fang, do you need my help to investigate?"

Upon hearing this, Fujino turned to Sufang Hongzi and asked.

"Don't bother Detective Fujino about this... Ever since I decided to hold the charity gala, I've been receiving threatening letters like this. Don't worry about them."

Sufang Hongzi smiled and was very satisfied with Fujino's reaction.

Well, another silly boy was fooled by her hypocritical mask.

I have to say, she is really a talented actress...

"Is that so?"

Fujino really felt a little regretful. After all, he was about to die. If he accepted the commission now, he only needed to ask for money in advance, which would be a net profit.

…………

After a lively dinner, it was already late and gradually entering the night.

Fine snow gradually rose from the sky, and the brightly lit villa stood out particularly in the dark forest in the suburbs.

Just after finishing dinner, Fujino was called by Sufang Hongzi to the living room on the third floor on the west side.

The decoration in the reception room is extremely gorgeous.

Fujino sat on a single sofa, his eyes slightly moving. He touched and turned on the recording function of his vision-enhancing eyes and looked around.

Sufang Hongzi sat elegantly on an expensive sofa, holding a glass of red wine, and said to Fujino: "Detective Fujino, I would like to ask you to help investigate something."

"Commission me to investigate something?"

Fujino raised his head and glanced at Sufang Hongzi: "What is it? Can you tell me?"

"Is such that……"

Sufang Hongzi took a sip of red wine, as if to cover up her guilty conscience: "If possible, I would like to ask you to investigate the traffic accident that caused the death of Mr. Katagiri and his wife."

"Mrs. Katagiri's traffic accident?"

Fujino narrowed her eyes slightly, but she knew in her heart that she had to investigate the cause of the traffic accident.

Just now at the dinner table, Katagiri Masaki mentioned his wife who died in a car accident twenty years ago.

Su Fang Hongzi was stunned when she heard the key words "20 years ago" and "car accident".

I recalled the woman I had hit and killed with my car twenty years ago.

The reason why she wanted to entrust Fujino to investigate the matter was to confirm whether the person she hit and killed was Katagiri Masanori's wife.

If that's the case, it's just too much of a coincidence...

It seems that this old lady wearing a hypocritical mask also knows that she has a guilty conscience.

In that case, he won't be polite.

There is no need for such people to observe professional ethics.

Directly show off your blackmail...talent and skills.

Thinking of this, Fujino took a deep breath, leaned back, and said with some embarrassment: "If it is the accident that happened to Mr. Katagiri's wife 20 years ago, it would be a bit difficult... After all, 20 years have passed, and everything has changed. There are no useful clues."

"Is that so?"

Su Fang Hongzi's eyes froze when she heard the words, and she pretended to be disappointed, "That's really a pity..."

But in her heart, she felt relieved.

If the famous detective before him couldn't do it, then naturally no one else could do it either.

If that was the case, she would be able to rest easy about the accident that year.

This was what she thought in her heart, but Fujino's next words brought her to the bottom:

"Although it is difficult, it is just a little troublesome for me..."

Fujino pretended to think, then said in a deep voice: "I have a unique insight into the incident that happened so many years ago, but the commission may be higher, requiring 4 million yen, and it needs to be paid first."

After a pause, Fujino continued to say to her meaningfully: "Ms. Sufang, you don't either... ahem."

Almost showed off his old skills.

It would be bad if the matter were made public.

Fujino coughed lightly and continued, "Ms. Sufang, can you understand what I mean?"

"Four million yen..."

Su Fang Hongzi was stunned when she heard this, and felt that this detective boy had something else to say.

Four million yen, which is the same endorsement fee that was not paid before.

Could it be that... this detective discovered something?

Or have you investigated everything thoroughly?

Now...

Is he blackmailing her?

Thinking of this, Sufang Hongzi suddenly felt cold sweat on her back.

But on second thought, since the other party was a famous detective, she was too naive to think of getting away with it.

But I really didn't expect that this seemingly kind and selfless detective would...

This is what he looks like behind the scenes.

Su Fang Hongzi sneered inwardly.

Sure enough, people are hypocritical creatures wearing masks.

Thinking of this, although her face was still a little gloomy, she nodded and agreed: "In this case, I will ask Inada to pay the commission fee later. I hope Detective Fujino can investigate the truth of the matter as soon as possible... Keep it confidential."

"Of course we have to keep confidentiality when working for clients."

Fujino also nodded, looking professional, with his eyes slightly narrowed and a sly smile on his face.

"Then I'll leave it to Detective Fujino."

Sufang Hongzi's expression did not change.

She naturally knew that the other party was blackmailing her, but she just didn't say it explicitly.

But now that the other party has agreed to pay to solve the problem, it means that a community of interests has been reached...

If she were exposed, the other party wouldn't be much better off.

Maybe we can continue to cooperate and share the spoils in the future...

——But how could she know that after tonight there would be no future...

"Today is a good day~ Oh, a good day~"

Fujino hummed a little tune as he earned 1268 million yen. He looked at his own [ million] and felt extremely happy.

Even though he deserved the four million, he would never get it no matter what; it was just a blank check.

Now that you have it in your hands, it is real money.

In short, it’s a great profit!

I'll kill someone later and make another million right here.

He came to the window of the living room where everyone was resting, looked out at the falling snow, narrowed his eyes, and thought to himself: "It's snowing, it's a good day to kill someone..."

"What makes you so happy?"

At this moment, a voice with a hint of gentleness in its coldness came from behind him.

Fujino turned his head and saw Haibara Ai wearing a black lolita skirt, walking slowly towards him and asking curiously.

"Nothing... I just encountered some happy things."

Fujino chuckled, leaned down and explained in a low voice: "I just received a big order."

Well, you don’t have to do anything and get four million for free.

"Big order?"

Huihara Ai didn't ask any more questions.

Because she knew that even if she asked, Fujino would not say anything out of detective ethics.

She thought for a moment, leaned close to Fujino's ear, and whispered, "I feel like there's something wrong with that Sufang Hongzi..."

Chapter 274 Huiyuan Ai: [( )]

Chapter 274 Huiyuan Ai: [( ˉˉ )]

She felt something strange since she came to the villa just now.

Be it a luxurious villa or those expensive mask collections, it seems that they are not what the president of a brokerage company should own.

Combined with all the previous things, Xiao Ai, who is sensitive and a science girl, came up with a bold idea...

If it's really as she thought, then Fujino has been tricked by a woman again!

Of course, Haibara Ai had no idea of ​​Fujino's thoughts or his plans for tonight.

She just felt that Fujino must have fallen into the trap of the evil woman again...

It's just like the scheming woman from last time.

It's just that the cunning woman gave money to deceive him last time. Fujino has money to take, and he has nothing to lose by having her with him, so it's still acceptable...
