Conan's Unscientific Detective

Page 307

Thinking of this, Fujino couldn't help but sigh.

I pinched my philtrum and felt a little headache.

In his opinion, this kind of relationship always feels a bit utilitarian.

Whether it's the constraints of a promise, the temptation of a sponsor, or the friendship between classmates...

He always couldn't tell whether he was taking advantage or giving his all.

If you are simply taking advantage of the other person, then a relationship filled with utilitarianism is more like a torture.

Fujino is a serious person. He longs for beauty, but he cannot recognize himself...

Worry about gain and loss.

This is the evaluation that Fujino gave to himself in his heart.

Fujino sighed.

Don't think too deeply about these things.

If you trap yourself in a problem that you can't figure out, you will get stuck in a rut and eventually collapse.

After calming down, he answered the phone.

"Fujino-kun!"

Ooka Hongye's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of pride in her tone: "I have watched the reception just now, and the performance this time is still excellent. I am worthy of it..."

"Ahem..."

Fujino forcibly interrupted the spell, "You mean, you've already watched the reception just now?"

"Ah."

Ooka Hongye on the opposite side nodded.

Fujino: "..."

He remembered that his attendance at the reception was only confirmed last night.

Before this, no one knew about this except those within the Metropolitan Police Department.

But this elder sister went to squat next to the TV this morning.

"This intelligence gathering speed is quite fast."

Fujino was sure that there was no problem on his side.

After all, whether it is phone tapping or tracking, it is ineffective for him who has a plug-in.

"Then the problem must be..."

"Could it be that there is a rich woman inside the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Thinking of this, Fujino felt a chill down his spine.

This rich woman is a bit scary.

He is indeed a genuine Japanese aristocrat.

Retracting his thoughts, Fujino felt that Ooka Hongye's call to him would definitely not be that simple...

After some pleasantries, Ooka Hongye got down to business: "Do you have time to accompany me to a wedding this weekend?"

"wedding?"

Fujino frowned.

"Yes."

Ooka Hongye thought for a moment and said, "It's the wedding of a friend of mine named Wakaba."

"Your friend should be only seventeen or eighteen years old now, right?"

Fujino seemed a little hesitant: "Getting married now?"

Although it is true that people can get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, this is not common. In most cases, the family has already made an engagement when the child was a child.

"Normally speaking, she wouldn't get married so early..."

Ooka Hongye sighed, "Ruoye is my classmate. Normally, she should be considered my friend."

"Not long ago, someone took a photo of her leaving the hotel and reported her relationship with a teacher in our school. Then she was expelled from school."

"Although I used some tricks to get her expelled from school, this incident still alarmed her family."

Fujino: "..."

Are you sure your little tricks are really small?

Even expulsion from school can be fought back...

After being speechless for a while, Fujino asked curiously: "Can you tell me more about that little trick you mentioned?"

"There's nothing much to say..."

Ooka Hongye said calmly, "I just asked Iori to investigate the principal and the chairman of the parent committee who asked Wakaba to drop out of school. As a result, he found out that there was an affair between the two of them."

Fujino was speechless again: "..."

So you, a noble lady, are still playing detective games?

Why does it feel like there's a picture?

Well, he could already imagine Iori Muga hiding next to the hotel, taking crazy photos with a small camera like he did in the past.

But this is quite reasonable.

Although Ooka Momiji is very powerful, this is only her power.

If it's just to deal with someone who is almost a friend, then dropping out of school isn't a big deal.

It would be quicker and more appropriate to let Iori Muga investigate the affair.

"But then again, does her marriage have anything to do with this incident alarming her family?"

Fujino speculated with a mindset of watching the gossip: "Could it be that she has a partner that she was engaged to as a child?"

"Ruoye does have a childhood engagement partner."

Ooka Hongye was surprised for a moment, but after thinking about Fujino's identity as a detective, she secretly sighed in her heart that he was worthy of her man. After guessing it accurately, she continued: "After this incident alarmed her family, they decided not to let Ruoye continue to go to school, and go back to marry the fiancée..."

"So that's it."

After hearing this, Fujino finally understood what was going on.

In other words, this girl named Wakaba was caught having an affair with her teacher and was ordered to drop out of school, although with the help of Ooka Koye she was eventually exempted from expulsion.

But her family couldn't sit still after learning about this, so they called her back to her hometown and asked her to marry her former fiancé...

The engaged brother is definitely the one who takes over.

"Just yesterday, she sent me a wedding invitation, inviting me to attend her wedding."

Ooka Hongye was a little embarrassed: "But her hometown is in a village called Rokkaku Village in Aomori. Grandpa is worried that it is not safe for me to go there alone, so I thought of asking you to go with me."

"So this time, it's a commission for protection?"

Fujino sorted out his thoughts and then cast out the doubts in his mind: "If you are attending a wedding or something, you wouldn't entrust me directly...Hasn't Iori always been your bodyguard?"

"Well, Iori has been busy lately..."

Ooka Hongye paused and continued, "How about a commission of 2 million yen this time?"

"Well, let me know the night before the wedding."

"I will go to Kyoto myself."

…………

Two days later, Saturday, the day before Wakaba's wedding.

The jungle is lined with lush trees on both sides, and the bright sunlight shines through the treetops, casting mottled shadows.

A small sports jeep was driving on a rural dirt road towards Rokkaku Village in Aomori Prefecture.

Fujino, Haibara Ai, Ooka Momiji and others were sitting in the back seat. The driver was the teacher named Odagiri Susumu who had a teacher-student relationship with Wakaba.

However, he felt that this name sounded familiar.

This guy...could he be related to Odagiri Toshiro?

The reason why Haibara Ai came here was, of course, as usual, to stop the bad woman from hooking up with her own Fujino.

Fujino saw through the situation but didn't say anything. He took advantage of the situation to bring the man back, which also served as a cover.

As for why Odagiri Susumu came, it’s actually a bit complicated to explain.

In general, he wanted to go to Rokkaku Village to see Wakaba.

As for the purpose, it should be something like the boyfriend wants to see his girlfriend for the last time before getting married.

According to him, although he could not stop the other party from getting married, he still wanted to see her one last time.

Fujino just felt that this guy was a bit of a jerk.

Since you like it, why not just keep it?

They have to go there the day before the wedding to grab the bride or something.

“Isn’t this road too bad?”

Huihara Ai sat on Fujino's left thigh, her face flushed as she complained softly, "Did we take the wrong road?"

The road to Rokkaku Village is very bumpy, comparable to the dirt road that Kogoro Mori lost his way on last time.

At this time, Haibara Ai was wearing a pair of khaki shorts. The slightly tight design brought out her slender legs. She matched her upper body with a white shirt, giving her a steady and cute feeling.

She was small in stature and naturally could not withstand the feedback caused by the bumps in the car.

Every time they passed a bad road, their little body would be thrown up and then fall down, causing their little head and butt to hurt a lot.

Fujino could only helplessly hold her on his lap to prevent her from hitting her head if she was suddenly thrown out.

"If the address that Ye gave is this road, it should be correct..."

Ooka Momiji sat on the right, holding Fujino's arm across her chest with her left hand, and looking at the map on the invitation with her right hand.

At this time, Ooka Momiji was wearing a white sleeveless top and black trousers, which highlighted her body lines. She also had a steady but slightly intellectual feel.

Although she tried her best to maintain her posture, the dirt road that could make a person fly on the spot made her lean half of her body weight on Fujino, trying to find a sense of stability... She didn't know whether it was intentional or accidental.

Upon hearing the voice, Huihara Ai turned her head towards Ooka Momiji, her eyes fixed on the chest where Fujino's arm was sunk, her eyes froze: "Stare——"

Although she thought she was already very capable.

But when we were at the hot spring hotel last time... I felt that from the visual point of view, it was even bigger than her...

Judging by sight, C...D?

They're all floating!

What on earth did this woman grow up eating?

Also, why is he so calm when doing such a thing? Why does it seem like it's a matter of course?

"Ok?"

At this time, Ooka Hongye also noticed Haibara Ai's gaze.

However, she didn't think too much about it.

I just feel that this child is weird...

In her eyes, Ai is just a little sister.

Not to mention sitting on your lap, even sleeping in the same bed would be no problem.
