Conan's Unscientific Detective

…………

Everyone moved to Snow King Ice City.

"Actually, the reason I wanted to find him was because I wanted to retrieve a photo."

"That photo is the only photo taken when I was in third grade when I participated in the next competition. It shows me holding the trophy in the finals... Probably a while ago, my grandmother accidentally I lost my medal, so I want to get that photo back, at least as a thought."

Hattori Shizuka was following her own script, explaining the purpose of looking for the man named Shibata Shiro.

Fujino sat opposite and listened silently, secretly feeling that it was a pity that she didn't become a screenwriter.

If he remembered correctly, all of this was actually planned by Hattori Shizuka from the beginning to the end.

Whether it is looking for photos, one’s own identity, or a commission.

The purpose is to test his and Maori Kogoro's character.

From now on, he has probably passed the test.

As for Uncle Maori, it's hard to say.

"Have you decided what you want to order?"

At this time, Miyano Akemi, wearing a pink apron and holding a small notebook, came over and asked everyone.

"Is it still the same old green tea?"

"Green tea is fine."

"I understand……"

Miyano Akemi nodded in understanding, then asked the others, "What about you guys?"

Maori Kogoro thought for a moment and said, "Coffee, please."

Xiaolan smiled and said directly: "Snow King's special lemon juice."

Conan was thinking about what to order, and seemed a little hesitant: "Then I'll..."

Hattori Shizuka looked around and said, "RELKO..."

"Ok?"

Conan was stunned when he heard this and turned to look at Hattori Shizuka.

"Reiko?"

Maori Kogoro was stunned when he heard this, "Who is she?"

"Nothing, he just calls me that all the time."

Hattori Shizuka was stunned. "Because he always said that my personality is very similar to the protagonist in the book he asked me to borrow, which is the book with the photo in it, so he called me Reiko..."

Miyano Akemi asked Conan, "Little brother Conan, what would you like to order?"

Conan said childishly, "I want iced coffee!"

Hattori Shizuka was slightly stunned when she heard this and glanced at Conan.

RELKO is actually iced coffee, a special name in Osaka.

She said it subconsciously when she was ordering drinks just now, but then she thought that if she was discovered to be from Osaka, she would most likely be exposed, so she quickly changed her words.

But this kid also wants to order iced coffee?

Did you discover something?

"I'll have an iced coffee, too."

Hattori Shizuka thought about it and felt that it was unlikely.

After all, it looks like this is just a child.

"By the way, Miss Ikenami, I don't know your name yet."

At this time, Kogoro Mori suddenly asked Hattori Shizuka.

We were just busy talking about other things, and so far, the only surname he knew was Ikebo.

"I'm so sorry, I forgot to introduce myself just now... My name is Shizuka, Ikenami Shizuka."

Hattori Shizuka doesn't really want to mention her own name.

When it came to trying to deceive the famous detective, she was very cautious and had basically concealed all the information that could prove her identity.

But the name...

Shouldn't be a problem.

"Jinghua? It really matches your temperament."

Maori Kogoro was about to say a few words when he heard this, but was interrupted by Xiaolan: "Dad, do you have any ideas about Mr. Shibata?"

"..."

Maori Kogoro curled his lips, propped his chin up, looked at the photo on the table, and said helplessly: "Now there is only a name and this photo from thirty years ago. There are too few clues."

Conan was also thinking about things related to the photo at this time.

Soon, he found a breakthrough.

"Na na!"

Before he could finish his words, Shizuka Hattori interrupted him and said, "It is precisely because of the difficulty that I am bothering you two famous detectives. After all, if it were an ordinary detective, there would be no way he could get a seat."

After a pause, she continued, "If neither of you can find it, can you please trouble that person?"

"That one?"

Kogoro Maori was stunned.

"Yes, I've heard from others before... that high school detective Kudo Shinichi seems to often come in and out of your detective agency."

Hattori Shizuka smiled and said, "If possible, I wouldn't mind hiring another detective..."

That’s right, in addition to Fujino and Maori Kogoro, in fact, in her plan, Kudo Shinichi is also one of the targets to be tested.

After all, his son, besides Fujino Fujino, is usually Kudo Kudo.

Among them, Fujino has already been seen. If possible, she would like to see what Kudo Shinichi looks like.

"what?"

Maori Kogoro waved his hands when he heard this: "That kid hasn't come to our house recently."

"Yeah, that's right."

Xiaolan also laughed and said, "At most, he just called and talked nonsense."

"Um……"

Fujino also nodded silently: "That guy is not at home every day. It seems that he is handling some case."

Conan: "..."

Very good, am I so insignificant?

But then, he began to think about his own existence again.

It’s actually good if you don’t have a sense of existence.

But this woman actually mentioned his name. Could it be that his story has spread again?

If this is the case, we must be more restrained in our reasoning in the future.

If you guide too much and expose it, it will be troublesome.

"Is that so?"

Hattori Shizuka murmured.

She heard from Heiji that Kudo Shinichi often went in and out of Mori Kogoro's house.

But the current situation is obviously not the case.

From what we can see now, Fujino is a considerate and polite kid, and doesn't look like the type of person who would bully others.

Although Kogoro Mori looks a little unserious, he has a pretty good relationship with Fujino and doesn't seem like the kind of senior who would make things difficult for others.

"Could it be that the kid Heiji lied?"

Hattori Shizuka frowned, feeling that something was fishy.

"Conan, what do you think?"

Xiaolan noticed that Conan wanted to say something just now, so she recalled her previous experiences and asked.

"What's the point of asking Conan?"

Maori Kogoro was speechless and said, "What can a child see?"

"But he always sees things that adults don't notice."

Xiaolan turned to Fujino and asked with a smile: "Is that so, Fujino-senpai?"

"Ah."

Fujino nodded: "Little brother Conan, did you see anything?"

“I did notice something.”

Being valued again, Conan felt like he was resurrected.

Finally I have the chance to show off my reasoning!

I immediately forgot about my decision not to continue directing.

Conan said in a deep voice: "Since this big brother was able to win the championship in the competition thirty years ago, maybe he is also participating in the kendo competition now."

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this, and it seemed as if a light bulb went off in their heads.

Fujino looked at Conan with interest, then interrupted, "I have considered this, but I feel the probability is not high."

"what?"

Conan looked up at Fujino, somewhat puzzled.

I thought Fujino wouldn't interrupt me this time...

I didn’t expect that what is coming will always come!

But he wanted to hear why his reasoning was not very reliable.

"The way of the sword is a real test of one's heart."

Fujino pondered, "A kendo genius from thirty years ago might not still be learning kendo now... After all, if his kendo faith is broken after being beaten, it is possible that he will retire directly. For example, the opponent I met before was called a genius, but he retired directly after the competition."

Conan: "..."

That only applies to monsters like you, right?

Although he had never seen Fujino play, he would subconsciously think of Fujino's excellent record.

"I remember that Brother Fujino was indeed learning kendo."

Maori Kogoro nodded, a little regretful: "If that's the case, then the clue is broken again."

"That's not the case. This is indeed a good direction for investigation."

Fujino paused, then continued, "If it's something about kendo, Master Suwa from the kendo hall where I usually train should have heard of it..."

As he said that, he took out his phone and planned to call Suwa Yuji directly.

Although I already know that this is a scene directed and performed by Hattori Shizuka.

But since the commission has been received, just continue to act with the other party.

And he still remembered that the actor arranged by Hattori Shizuka, Shibata Shiro, should have been dead for nearly six or seven hours now... If he didn't go there to improve his performance, it would probably be forgotten.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 337: Call Master Suwa for Something

Soon, Fujino called Suwa Yuji and went straight to the point without leaving any room for suspense: "Master Suwa, have you ever heard of a man named Shibata Shiro?"

"Shibata Shiro?"
