Conan's Unscientific Detective

But he hasn't been racing recently.

I didn't expect that this group of people would play hard to get and make me sick...

How about some extra racing tomorrow to get some excitement?

…………

The sound of water just out of the hospital is still there.

Vermouth thought about it and shook her head.

Her idea was just a guess based on the information she had.

Gin is in charge of matters related to the animal organization, and she cannot easily overstep her authority.

As far as the evidence we have now is concerned, there is nothing to prove that any middlemen are making a profit from the price difference.

As for an in-depth investigation, that's not the case yet. All I can say is that there's no reason to care so much.

If you want to get more information, you have to exchange information with Gin.

She was not very willing to exchange information.

Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with her. Even if a fight breaks out, the flames of war will not affect her. At most, Gin will have to work overtime, make more contributions to the organization, and get shot a few times.

The key point now is, who holds that woman, who is that guy with the bat mask, and which force does he belong to.

This is the most important point, but if you want to find these two clues, you will most likely run into the middleman...

Vermouth felt a little confused.

Standing up from the bath water, water droplets fell on the bubbles on the surface.

She stretched out her hand to smooth her long, soft golden hair and covered her forehead.

I always feel like there is an invisible big hand pushing everything.

…………

The next day was still a holiday.

Fujino looked at the Saturday on the calendar on his phone and fell into deep thought.

Well, yesterday was Saturday and today is Saturday too.

This weekend seemed a bit long...

But it wasn't on the same day.

"Jingle Bell!"

At this moment, an unknown call suddenly popped up on the phone screen.

Judging from the length of the phone number, the caller should have called from a telephone booth.

Fujino thought for a moment and then answered the phone.

Soon, a woman's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Excuse me, is this the Fujino Detective Agency?"

"Yes, this is Fujino Detective Agency."

Fujino responded.

Judging from the voice on the other end, it must be a woman. The voice is soft and has a steady and mature feel. She should be in the middle.

As for personality and appearance, he couldn't judge.

After all, there are too many people with nice voices and weird looks.

But it is obvious that judging other people's appearance by their voice is not within the scope of his job. What he cares about is the work that belongs to the detective's job.

Since the other party called the detective agency, it is most likely the client.

Thinking of this, Fujino asked, "Excuse me, do you have any request that you would like me to investigate?"

"Yes, that's right, just as you said, I do have a commission to trouble you..."

The mature and elegant female voice on the other end of the phone paused, then continued: "I have a friend who I want to meet again no matter what, but I haven't seen him for many years and I have lost his contact information."

"That is to find someone to entrust..."

Fujino thought for a moment. He was becoming more and more familiar with this kind of commission to find people. "In that case, do you have a photo of the person you want to find, and the other person's name?"

"some."

The female voice remained calm: "His name is Shibata Shiro, and I have his photo here."

"In that case, if you have time, you can come to my detective agency to discuss in detail."

Upon hearing this, Fujino felt that this commission was quite simple.

With the name and the photo, I can just call Brother Megure and he can dig out his three generations of ancestors.

"Can't it be today?"

There was a slight fluctuation in the female voice, with a hint of distress in it.

"I have time, but it depends on whether you have time."

"I see. Actually, I'm already near your office. I'd be a little worried if I can't meet you."

"Already here?"

Fujino was surprised for a moment, then said calmly: "If that's the case, then let's meet and discuss the clues and the commission."

"Ok."

The woman on the other end of the line was now standing in a phone booth.

After getting the answer that they could meet, he breathed a sigh of relief: "If we can't meet today, it will be troublesome."

After murmuring, the woman fixed her eyes on the detective agency not far away: "I wonder what kind of people those two are."

…………

Detective agency.

After receiving the news that the client was about to visit, Fujino changed into a suit, went downstairs and went straight to the detective agency on the second floor to begin making preparations.

Take out the teapot, prepare the documents, and tidy up the sofa, all in one go.

"Ding dong!"

At this moment, the doorbell of the detective agency suddenly rang.

Fujino turned around upon hearing the voice and said, "Come in!"

Hearing the sound, the door of the detective agency was pushed open.

A woman exuding an aristocratic air walked in.

The woman had fair skin and short brown hair combed up high. She was holding a small bag in front of her body. She was wearing a dark purple kimono with a white lining and a waist protector tied with a red rope. She was also wearing a loose black raincoat and a pair of sandals on her feet that revealed her white socks.

In many ways, she can be considered a beauty.

It's just that her hairstyle is a bit lame, but if she can control it, she can only be considered a beauty.

"Hello, Detective Fujino. My name is Ikeba, and I'm the one I just spoke to on the phone."

The woman who called herself Ikebo bowed slightly, then politely and formally greeted Fujino, "I heard from my friends that you are the best at finding people, so I came to bother you out of the blue."

Fujino: "..."

He stared at the woman in front of him and was speechless for a moment.

Why do you feel a little familiar?

After recovering from his shock, he took a deep breath and politely replied, "Since it was introduced by an acquaintance, I will naturally help... Stop talking too much and come in."

"Well, excuse me."

The woman who called herself Ikebo nodded and looked around curiously.

Exquisite layout, white room floor, brand new and simple sofa and coffee table, even the ashtray is empty, and there is no smell of cigarettes around.

Unlike the dirty and messy detective agency she had imagined, this detective agency seemed much more comfortable...

Rather than being comfortable, it would be better to say modern and professional?

It is hard not to wonder whether this detective agency is the detective agency of the high school detective in front of him.

With this kind of decoration, if she didn't know better, she would have thought she had entered the reception room of some big company.

"Please take a seat."

Fujino invited him to the sofa, poured him a cup of black tea, and asked about the commission: "Although we have just talked about it on the phone, I still want to confirm the information about why you are looking for someone."

"Is such that……"

The woman who called herself Ikebo took a sip of her tea and said, "The person I'm looking for is actually my classmate from high school. We were both in the kendo club at the time. He moved away before graduation, so his address was not recorded in the registration list at the time."

"Well, I think I understand."

Fujino nodded and looked at the other person: "But I'm sorry to ask, are you married?"

"what?"

The woman who called herself Ikebo was visibly stunned.

"Is such that."

Fujino looked at the woman's hand and said, "Your hand is wrapped in a bandage. I am not sure whether you are married or not. If you are married, I may get into unnecessary trouble if I carry out this commission."

"I see."

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at Fujino. She secretly sighed that the other party's observation ability was indeed terrible. After thinking for a while, she replied: "Actually, I am not married yet. This injury was actually caused by me cooking last night. I haven't held a knife for a long time, so I accidentally got hurt."

"Is that so?"

Fujino stared at the other person's hand silently.

Madam, there is something wrong with you!

You are obviously married, but you still say you are not married. Isn't that wrong?

As for why he could tell that the other party was married...

The bandages and other things are all fake, they are all iced tea water.

Hattori Heiji's mother is the real one!

What Ikenami? It’s obviously Hattori!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 335 % Discount for Acquaintances

Fujino had an impression of Hattori Shizuka, Hattori Heiji's mother. When they met, he actually recognized her at first sight.

But the son is so dark, but the mother is so fair and clean...it really doesn't make sense.

The key point is, his father Hattori Heizo is not a bad person!

This makes it a bit hard to say what to say.

As for Ikenami, Fujino felt that it should be the surname of Hattori Shizuka before she got married.

If he hides his last name, it is probably because he doesn't want to be recognized. After all, if he mentions Hattori, he will probably be recognized immediately.

Fujino could understand her visit to Miming, it was just an act, to test her background...

I guess that kid Hattori must have said something bad about him again after he went back, otherwise, Hattori Shizuka would not have targeted him.

Thinking of this, Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that he had to let that boy taste the feeling of speaking ill of others behind their backs.

But then he changed his mind and started thinking about the script planned by Hattori Shizuka.

He just said that he was not married yet, and even created a fake surname for himself, which was his surname before marriage, and even hid his wedding ring...

What kind of family ethics drama?

As for the reason, if he said that he was married, the detective would definitely dislike this kind of commission. After all, it is definitely not appropriate to help someone else's wife find a man she met a long time ago.

Maybe this is the reason why she hides her wedding ring?

The drama she planned was a bit grand, and even a bit scary when you think about it carefully.
