Chapter 1093. Why do you detectives keep losing your bugs wherever you go?
"Hey, why did you even invite a detective over?"
After Fujino and the housekeeper left, Mrs. Kunitomo closed the door on the top floor and asked Kunitomo Jundai and Guankou Jundao in a panic, "What if he finds out what happened that year?"
"It won't be discovered!"
Sekiguchi Toshimichi was lying on the sofa, looking relaxed, and he didn't seem to be worried at all about what Mrs. Kunitomo had said. "There is no evidence now. It has been thirteen years. I guess the body has been eaten by fish long ago."
"But isn't it written on that piece of paper?"
Mrs. Guoyou's expression was horrified: "The fifth person's soul, we are the only ones who knew that five people died that year!"
"That's why I hired a detective."
Kunitomo Jundai said calmly, "As long as we find the person who threatened me, we will know what he knows..."
"Then we can think of a way..."
“Uh—Ah!!”
Kunitomo Jundai was halfway through his words when he suddenly covered his chest with his hands and his face turned pale with an expression of pain.
"I'll go get the medicine right away!"
Mrs. Kunitomo stood up anxiously, ran to the medicine cabinet nearby, took out a box of medicine and hurriedly handed it to Jundai Kunitomo.
Seeing Kunitomo Jundai gradually stabilized, Sekiguchi Shunmichi stood up and said jokingly: "Given your current physical condition, let alone finding that person, you will probably die before you find him."
"What are you talking about!"
Mrs. Kunitomo seemed to still love Kunitomo Jundai very much. When she heard Sekiguchi Toshimichi making sarcastic remarks, she immediately shouted at him in dissatisfaction, "If it weren't for you killing someone and using the excuse of traveling with us to dump the body, how could the body get stuck on the propeller and be discovered? If it weren't for you and Mian Yin fighting over the rudder, how could we have capsized!"
"It was obviously a good deed you did alone, why do we have to worry about it too!"
"You can't say that!"
Guankou Shunmichi shook his head and said something meaningful: "It was me who found the life raft after the boat capsized, and it was me who rescued you in the first place. I am your savior, okay?"
"Didn't you cooperate with me at that time?"
"Afterwards, Mr. Kunitomo helped me to promote the company of the then president and made a lot of money."
"After all, we are all accomplices, right?"
Mrs. Guoyou gritted her teeth and said, "You damned fellow!"
"Okay, An Rong, don't talk about this anymore."
Kunitomo Jundai took the medicine and recovered. He stopped his wife and continued, "The most important thing now is to find out who that person is. These are secondary. After we find him, we can find a way to solve the problem."
"Either give him money to solve the problem, or solve him."
Mrs. Kunitomo Yasue seemed to be disgusted by the killing: "Do you want to kill more people?"
Guankou Jundao, who had killed someone before, seemed much more relaxed: "Then what can we do if that person refuses to give up besides killing him?"
"It seems that this is the only way..."
After a few people talked, they did not continue the internal quarrel and reached a consensus.
They didn't notice at all that there was a transparent sticker on the side of the sofa where they were sitting, which was secretly recording their words.
…………
Fujino followed the housekeeper and began to investigate the place where the supernatural case occurred in the villa.
While sightseeing, Fujino listened to the sound of the bug coming from his vision-enhancing glasses.
After hearing what several people said, his memory was gradually brought back and he recalled the details of the case.
Butler Akatsuka led the two to investigate in the villa for a long time.
Seeing that Fujino didn't say anything, he just put his hands in his pockets and looked left and right.
The little Lolita next to him was also exceptionally quiet and well-behaved. She followed beside him, looking around with her little eyes, observing quietly.
By the way, how can you bring children with you when you go out to exorcise ghosts?
Um, this looks like a detective?
Akatsuka felt that his thoughts were a little confused.
After organizing his thoughts, he couldn't help but ask Fujino curiously: "Um, Mr. Fujino, do you see anything wrong?"
"No."
Fujino retracted his thoughts, shook his head slightly, looked around, and explained in a calm tone: "The most recent incident happened a few months ago. If it was man-made, I'm afraid the tampering would have been cleared up long ago."
"If it is something dirty, I can't see anything. After all, it is invisible and colorless, and it may not be where it is. I don't have the ability to open my third eye."
"Why is this happening?" Butler Akatsuka looked a little disappointed.
Fujino noticed the micro-expressions on his face.
Noticing that the other party was already somewhat impatient, he calmly spoke to comfort him:
"You can't rush things like this,"
"But if you want to find it, there is a breakthrough."
Then he touched his chin again and threw out a hook, arousing the other party's emotions and retaining the excitement.
With the foreshadowing from before, Butler Akazuka took the bait and asked curiously:
"What breakthrough?"
Fujino was just blind... After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Generally speaking, being haunted by dirty things has a cause and effect, for example, you killed someone, or encountered a dead person, or encountered something not so good."
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something: "Come to think of it, you just said that Mr. Mian Yin's father and Bo Hua's father seemed to have died in accidents."
"Can you tell me the details?"
"Well..."
Butler Akatsuka frowned, as if he had something to hide and didn't want to talk about it. But after a mental struggle, he still explained in a low voice: "In fact, it wasn't just their father who died in the accident, but also their wife."
"Thirteen years ago, the master would take his whole family on a sea trip every October. But unexpectedly, during that trip thirteen years ago, the yacht the master was on ran aground..."
"The master and his wife, who happened to be traveling together on a boat, boarded a life raft and were saved at the checkpoint, but the others disappeared and their bodies were never found."
"Since that incident, the master has not gone to sea."
"I wanted to go with them, but I was seasick so I didn't go. In the end, I escaped."
"But my wife is not so lucky..."
When Butler Akatsuka said this, a deep sadness appeared on his face.
Fujino nodded and then asked, "So, besides your wife, Mr. Saki, and Mr. Watabiki, is there anyone else who died?"
"Yes, there were four people who followed the master into the sea."
Butler Akatsuka recalled and explained, "In addition to the three of them, there is also Mr. Watanabe's second son, who is the younger brother of the driver just now."
"This is where the problem lies."
As Fujino listened, he suddenly showed a serious expression and said in a deep voice: "Don't you wonder why only Mrs. Kunitomo, Mr. Kunitomo and Mr. Guankou came back?"
"Could it be...?"
Butler Akatsuka was stunned when he heard this, then his face was filled with shock and he shouted, "Could it be that the master and his wife are no longer the same old man and his wife?!" Fujino: "..."
You have a very rich imagination...
I guess I was just fooling around a little too well...
A bit too much good.
Fujino was helpless for a moment, then explained: "You are not wrong to say that, but it is a little different from what I thought."
"Please tell me in detail." Butler Akatsuka showed a solemn expression. He was very concerned about whether the wife of the master he had served for so many years was a human being.
"The master and mistress of your family had a close call with death, so they must have been stained with unclean things." After a pause, Fujino continued, "What's more, everyone who went with them died, so I think they must have been stained with some of the resentment of the dead."
"You mean the ghosts are haunting us?!"
"That's about it."
Fujino nodded, revealing a meaningful and sanctimonious look: "After death, people are not really dead. The hopes they had during their lifetime will remain in this world and will eventually affect those who are still alive."
Although Butler Akatsuka didn't understand what Fujino said, he looked very serious: "Well, what should we do? Do you have any way to save them?"
"That'll have to wait until tomorrow."
Fujino kept it a secret: "I can only think of a solution when the spirit appears. If it doesn't appear now, there is nothing I can do."
"Is that so?"
"Then it looks like we'll have to wait until tomorrow."
Butler Akatsuka seemed a little disappointed. He thought about it and suddenly remembered something. He asked Fujino in a low voice: "Master Fujino, do you think that the dead soul will return to its original appearance?"
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen my old lady for thirteen years..."
Upon hearing this, Fujino looked at Butler Akatsuka deeply, then shook his head: "I am not too sure about this. Although I have seen souls appear, the conditions for appearance are extremely harsh, at least not here."
"Thank you for your help..."
Butler Akatsuka was a little disappointed when he heard this. He looked at his watch and cheered up: "It's getting late now. You and your sister should go and have a rest first. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare dinner. It will be ready soon."
"No trouble."
Fujino nodded and smiled, he could understand Butler Akazuka.
Death is scary for the living, but if it is a deceased relative, it is not that scary.
As the old saying goes, the ghost you fear is the person others dream of meeting, although it is a bit cliché.
But it's absolutely true.
…………
The room arranged by the housekeeper was very spacious and was located on the second floor, just below Jundai Kunitomo's bedroom.
There are two beds inside, and the room is neat, elegant and tidy.
Despite the high specifications, when Haibara Ai just entered the room and saw the layout of the room, she felt a little regretful.
Haibara Ai put away her luggage bag, which was a single-shoulder bag. It looked very practical and very much in her style.
Except it’s not a name brand.
She turned around and asked Fujino in a calm tone, "So, you didn't come here just to exorcise ghosts, did you?"
"of course not."
Fujino put his luggage on the bed, took out the luggage inside, and explained to Huihara Ai without turning his head: "It's mainly because they want me to exorcise spirits, so I will do it. After all, the needs of customers are the primary goal. Satisfy the customers first."
Haibara Ai:"……"
Are you really trying to fool the butler in a serious manner?
But if you think about it, what he said is true. Detective is also a service industry.
After following Fujino for such a long time, she also understood that for a detective, satisfying the client is the first priority, and everything else is secondary.
Completing the commission is just a way to satisfy the customer.
Fujino looked at Ai's thoughtful expression and chuckled.
Then he asked her, "Xiao Ai, what do you think?"
"Ok?"
Huiyuan Ai was stunned for a moment when she heard the voice, and then she said what she was thinking: "I think someone is seeking revenge."
"I feel the same way."
Fujino still had a smile on his face and nodded: "Then have you ever thought about why that person wanted to take revenge on the Kunitomo family, especially the Kunitomo couple?"
"why?"
"To put it simply..."
Haibara Ai asked without thinking, and Fujino sorted out his words according to his memory and briefly explained the current situation to her.
"So that's it..."
Upon hearing this, Haibara Ai nodded, and she understood that Fujino had already investigated every detail of this case.
There is no need to investigate further now, the case can be closed directly.
Maybe it's just about finding out who the person is who wants revenge.
But this matter is indeed the same as Fujino said, we have to wait until tomorrow.
After all, these people in the villa all lost relatives thirteen years ago, and since everyone is a suspect, they cannot just alert the suspects.
She gradually understood Fujino's intentions, but was not surprised.
If you think about it, asking the people who died that year just now must have confirmed this point.
She didn't believe that Fujino would have nothing better to do than to fool others.
Fujino does like to fool people, but he just wants to make more money to support his family.
Apart from that, he really does what matters to his clients.
As she was thinking about it, she suddenly noticed the key point.
He asked in a puzzled tone: "But... such a secret matter, Fujino, how did you know it? Logically speaking, only the deceased, or the deceased's family, and the three participants should know it..."
"Of course I eavesdropped on them." Fujino put his hands on his hips in a serious tone, "I installed a bug in their room on the third floor. As soon as we left, they started talking about what happened thirteen years ago, and I recorded it."
"A bug...?"
When Huibara Ai heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then her eyebrows couldn't help but twitch slightly again.
So what's up with you detectives?
How can you just leave the bug wherever you go?
Is it really appropriate to just throw a bug around someone?
Haibara Ai couldn't help but recall the incident when Conan threw the bugs around, which almost led to the annihilation of her side, and she complained silently in her heart.
