Conan's Unscientific Detective

Conan nodded, hesitated for a moment and said, "I saw with my own eyes that Fujino had no fish for a long time. In addition to fish, he caught a lot of tires, Japanese yen, boots, and turtles..."

"Boots, and tires..."

Mitsuhiko was also at a loss for words: "Can something like that really be fished out in reality?"

"Yeah, I used to think this was just a plot in cartoons."

Conan showed his dead fish eyes: "Until that guy is really caught..."

"My mom doesn't allow me to have a pet... She said if I keep one now, it will die soon."

Ayumi sighed, then turned to Haibara Ai and asked, "By the way, Haibara-san, what's the name of this turtle?"

Huiyuan Ai: “Hmm…”

To be honest, this question is a bit difficult.

Although she was indeed taking care of this turtle.

But it wasn't actually named.

"All of you are here."

Fujino stepped forward, said hello and helped him out: "By the way, do you guys like animals very much? There is also a bamboo rat in my room..."

"Bamboo rat?"

The attention of the little ones was immediately diverted.

Haibara Ai breathed a sigh of relief, and the countless names of turtles that flashed through her mind disappeared.

"Is the bamboo rat some kind of rat?"

"Can I eat it?"

"That's a large rat from China. I've seen it in a pet store before."

"cute?"

“It’s kind of cute.”

"By the way, what's its name?"

"Not too late."

"What a strange name..."

The little ones followed them to see the bamboo rats smoothly. Taking advantage of this time, Fujino returned to the living room and processed and cooked the matsutake mushrooms with Huihara Ai. Then he returned to his room and greeted the little ones who were still playing with the bamboo rats: "Okay, it's time to eat!"

“Is it done already?!”

"I also want to try Brother Fujino's cooking."

The kids put the bamboo rat back into the cage and left in high spirits.

Fujino walked forward and took a look at the bamboo rat that had survived the surgery some time ago.

The bamboo rat was lying weakly in the sawdust of its cage, with tears in its eyes: [Rat, I seem to be dying again.]

"Well, Senior Fei Chi is depressed."

Fujino chuckled and shook his head, then turned back to the living room.

A few little ones were already sitting around the table, swallowing their saliva frantically as they looked at the Matsutake feast on the table.

Even though they wanted to eat very much, they still remembered that they could not pick up their chopsticks before the host arrived.

After Fujino sat down, they shouted, "I'm eating!"

The small Matsutake dinner was quickly eaten up by the whole family and a few children.

Once their stomachs were full, they collapsed onto Fujino's sofa and watched Kamen Rider on the large plasma TV.

Ayumi turned her eyes away from the TV, looked at Fujino and smiled, "Brother Fujino's cooking skills are really good!"

Yuan Tai: "Uh... a little worse than my mom's, but very good!"

“This craftsmanship is comparable to that of a high-end restaurant!”

Mitsuhiko praised: "The last time I went to a restaurant with my dad, it seemed that the food wasn't as good as today's."

Conan sat aside with a blank expression.

As for high-end restaurants, it was indeed better, but in his opinion, the food in high-end restaurants was just so-so.

It’s so delicious, it’s her sister Xiaolan who is hurt.

"I really envy……"

Ayumi looked at Haibara Ai, with a slight smile on her lips: "I can eat such delicious food every day."

"Um……"

Haibara Ai nodded and didn't say anything more.

It’s really good. If it were my old self, I would definitely be envious.

But Sister Mingmei can't cook, and Fujino is often lazy, so most of the time she has to cook.

At this time, Ayumi suddenly asked Fujino: "We are going skiing with the doctor this weekend, do you want to go with us, Fujino brother?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 324: Mermaid Island Commission

"weekend……"

Upon hearing this, Fujino, who was cleaning up the mess on the table, paused.

Normally, after finishing a two-day holiday, you should wait for three days before the next weekend.

But this world...

One or two days, or even three or six days is possible.

Well, it’s time for another surprise blind box opening event.

Fujino looked at Ayumi and guessed, "The weekend should be tomorrow, right?"

"Brother Fujino, what are you talking about?"

Ayumi blinked in confusion, "The weekend is obviously the day after tomorrow."

"..."

Well, I guessed wrong again.

Fujino smiled softly and scratched the back of his head: "So it's the day after tomorrow. I was so busy that I forgot."

"In that case, how about we go together this weekend?"

At this time, Miyano Akemi came out of the kitchen and heard the conversation between Ayumi and Fujino: "By the way, we haven't gone on a trip for a while. It just so happens that these two days are the off-season, so we can close the shop for two days and take a rest."

"Is Sister Mingmei going too?"

"That's great!"

"It seems like this is also our first time hanging out with Sister Mingmei!"

The three little ones seemed very enthusiastic about going skiing with Akemi Miyano.

A cute and gentle big sister is always popular with children.

Usually when they come to Snow King Ice City, they are always taken care of.

In the eyes of the three little ones, Miyano Akemi is like a beloved teacher...

Fujino didn't say much and chose to agree.

It's nice to go skiing and relax...

But why does this plot feel a little familiar?

Well, tomorrow or so.

Dr. Agasa would catch a cold because of staying up late to watch short videos...

If his prediction was correct.

…………

the next day.

The sky is just beginning to brighten, and today is another refreshing spring day.

Fujino's day is simple.

As usual, I would get up at three or four o'clock in the morning, change into sportswear and do morning exercises.

Sometimes I become a lazy bum and skip the morning exercise.

After morning exercise, it’s time to check emails…

After all, sometimes clients entrust their clients through letters.

"Mr. Fujino, there's an email for you!"

Just when Fujino had just come back from exercise and was waiting for the letter, the postman came on his bicycle and handed him a thick brown paper envelope.

"Excuse me, postman."

Fujino took the envelope, opened it and took a look.

The letter reads:

【From Fujino Doji

I'm about to be killed by the mermaid! Please save me!

Menxie Saori: xxxxx】

In addition to the letter, there was also 50,000 yen in cash.

"Fifty thousand yen... is that a deposit?"

"It's a bit less..."

Fujino looked at the deposit with a strange expression, sighed, and quietly put the money away. Then, he looked at the contents of the letter again, his eyes narrowed slightly: "But a mermaid?"

A letter like this, which seems like a joke, should be considered a prank email...

After all, being killed by a mermaid is just too outrageous.

But there is also mermaid, and Saori Menkyou.

This letter brought back some impressions of Fujino.

If he remembered correctly, this should be the scene on Mermaid Island.

Mermaid Island, or more precisely, 'American Island', was described on the sender's address on the envelope, but there was no detailed address.

That's right, it's the America in the USA. Although it's a bit outrageous, it is indeed called 'America'. However, this 'America' is not that America, it should be the beautiful America, the country.

To be honest, Fujino really couldn't understand what kind of abstract person could come up with such an abstract name.

But he was not unfamiliar with this name. He remembered that a few years ago, there was a famous incident here, saying that a mermaid or something was born.

After thinking for a while, he turned back upstairs, took out his notebook, and began to collect relevant information.

Soon, he found relevant reports.

The report said that on a small island in Fukui Prefecture, there was a "fate-sama" whose life span was over 130 years. In layman's terms, she was a so-called fortune-teller.

The report mentioned that the witch named Shimabukuro once ate mermaid flesh, and was therefore given some kind of mermaid power and became immortal.

According to the legend, the island spontaneously held a mermaid festival led by the witch. During each mermaid festival, the witch would randomly give out three "dugong arrows" as souvenirs.

The dugong arrow is tied with a witch's hair. Anyone who holds this arrow will be blessed with immortality, but at the same time, losing this arrow will bring misfortune.

It's just that not many people care about the Mermaid Festival. What really made this matter so popular was the fire three years ago...

During the Mermaid Festival, a warehouse suddenly caught fire and a body was found inside.

But the skeleton of the lower body of the corpse was very strange, without any feet, just like a mermaid.

However, after identification by the police, the skeleton was indeed human.
