Chapter 241 Winery?zoo?fight!
Two days later·Saturday.
Teidan Elementary School School Festival.
On the stage of the gymnasium, Ayumi knelt on the ground sadly, crying towards Genta with a knife stuck in her chest: "Dad!"
"It's really sad."
Haihara Ai stood aside, wearing a white T-shirt, a black suit jacket, and a hip-covering skirt. She had a cold face and spoke calmly.
"This is a tragedy caused by...the misunderstanding between father and daughter!"
Mitsuhiko stretched out his finger to Yuantai, and said stumblingly, obviously a little stage fright.
"..."
Conan drooped his face, looking hopeless.
To actually let a 17-year-old high school student act in such a childish drama...
But then again, how on earth did that guy Haiyuan act so naturally?
……
After the performance, Xiaolan came backstage with a pack of drinks.
"The performance just now was really exciting."
While praising, she took out the drinks from the bag and distributed them to the people who had just finished the performance.
"Really, sister Xiaolan?"
Ayumi took a bottle of peach drink and raised her head to look at Xiaolan, looking as pure as a little girl.
"Uh-huh."
Xiaolan nodded like the big sister next door, turned her head, and asked Fujino who came with her: "Fujino-senpai, what do you think of their performance?"
Fujino, who was fishing on the side, was stunned when he heard this.
Why did you ask him?
This time, the play performed by the Boy Detective Troupe is a police-themed [New Police Story].
Ai Haihara plays a policewoman, and her prototype seems to be Miwako Sato.
Conan and Mitsuhiko play police officers and police assistants, and their prototypes may be Takagi and Megure Jusan.
Genta plays the role of the victim's president, and Ayumi plays the murderer, who is the daughter of the president's family.
The daughter murdered the president's father because of outrageous things.
The beloved Mihua Theater.
Fujino sorted out the words in his mind, and then he immediately gave an objective answer in an evasive manner: "The performance is not bad. For elementary school students, this is also a good argument and reasoning."
"hey-hey!"
Ayumi happily opened the drink and took a sip, "Actually, this script was written by Conan."
"Ugh?"
Xiao Lan looked at Conan in surprise: "I never thought Conan had the talent to be a screenwriter."
"It's nothing."
Conan awkwardly took a bottle of oolong tea from Xiao Lan, "It's all thanks to everyone's acting skills."
"Everyone's acting skills are very good."
Xiao Lan nodded in agreement and turned to look at Hui Yuan Ai: "Especially Xiao Ai, she acted so captivatingly, so cute."
"That is to say, Haibara-san's acting skills are really good."
On the side, Ayumi, who was holding a peach drink, echoed with emotion, "It seems that Xiao Ai will definitely become a popular actress in the future."
"A popular actress?!"
Mitsuhiko glanced at Haihara Ai and suddenly blushed.
A scene of her becoming a popular actress in the future appeared in her mind.
'It should be said that she has been acting...'
Conan showed dead fish eyes, and secretly complained in his heart.
"cute?"
Haihara Ai tilted her head and subconsciously turned her gaze to Fujino.
"Ah."
Fujino nodded and pondered for a while, looked at the suit and uniform on Hui Yuanai, and commented: "This suit suits you quite well, it has a mature and cute feeling."
"..."
An invisible blush appeared on Hui Yuan Ai's fair face.
She glanced calmly at the black suit Fujino was wearing.
Then he lowered his head again and glanced at the black business suit that was one size smaller than he was wearing.
Do you feel mature and cute?
…………
At noon, the school festival of Didan Elementary School ended.
Several people were on their way out of Didan Primary School.
"Speaking of which, Xiaolan."
Fujino asked Xiaolan in confusion, "When I went to pick you up this morning, why didn't I see Uncle Maoli?"
"My father originally planned to come together."
Xiaolan replied in response, "But the doctor's examination he made an appointment for is today, and he went to the hospital for examination early in the morning."
Fujino asked in surprise, "Uncle Maori isn't feeling well?"
"Yes."
Xiaolan sighed, "Dad, he always feels very tired recently."
Fujino frowned when he heard this.
It reminds me that Uncle Mori often goes to izakaya.
Why does this symptom feel familiar?
Could it be false?
…………
Several people came to the school gate.
Fujino sat in the cab of the Ford Taurus, and asked Haibara Ai who was following out the window: "Xiao Ai, won't you go back with me?"
"You go home first."
Haibara Ai changed back to her daily clothes, "I'm going to play with Dr. A Li at Dr. A Li's house today."
"Is that so..."
Fujino told Hui Yuanai again: "Be careful on the road, remember to come back early later, and call me if you need anything."
"Ah."
Hui Yuanai nodded calmly, and said softly, "You too, be careful on the road."
Watching Haibara Ai and the young detective team leaving, Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly.
If he guessed correctly, Haibara Ai should have gone to Dr. Ali's house to research the antidote for APTX4869, right?
He has not equipped Haiyuan Ai with a computer for the time being. Although he has a laptop that is far ahead of this era, it contains too many secrets and naturally cannot be used by Haiyuan Ai.
So in normal times, to research the antidote for Haihara Ai, you still have to go to Dr. Ali.
It seems that I have to get two computers that are suitable for this era...
noon.
In the commercial street near Mihua Town, at the entrance of a computer store.
"Computers in this era are really expensive."
Fujino sat in the car, glanced at the three computers in the back, and sighed.
These three big-brained computers cost him about 30 yen.
After discounts, it costs more than 20 yen.
It is equivalent to the salary of an excellent social animal in this era.
But for Fujino, it’s not much.
When he went out to rob the poor and help the poor, he made money back.
"The Metropolitan Police Department publicly stated earlier that the notice letter previously released by Kaitou Kidd has been personally canceled. Is the cancellation of the notice this time another signal that Kaitou Kidd is about to retire?"
At this time, there was an empty sound outside the car window.
Fujino cast his eyes outside the car, and the source of the sound was the big screen on the top of the building not far away.
A report about a blonde-haired beauty was playing on the screen:
"Judy Hooper, the holder of the Ruby and the leader of the Thaumaturgy Magic Troupe, expressed her own opinion on the matter. She said: 'It is a real pity that we can't see Kaito Kidd's magic.'"
"Judy Hooper?"
Fujino recognized the woman on the big screen at a glance.
It was Judy Hooper, the holder of the crimson tear that he saw in the newspaper a few days ago.
But Fujino was a little puzzled.
Normally, once Kuroba Kaito sets his sights on a certain target, he should swear not to give up until he reaches his goal, but now he actually canceled his own notice...
"It seems that the notice letter from a few days ago was sent by a counterfeit?"
Putting away his thoughts, Fujino didn't intend to meddle in his own business and planned to drive home.
But just as he started the engine, a system prompt sounded in his ear:
"A new detective job task has been detected, please check it!"
"Detective career mission?"
Fujino was surprised when he heard this, and immediately looked around.
I saw no murders happening around me.
He just waved his fingertips and curiously called up the system task interface:
[Detective job mission: Everyday thief
Mission objective: catch the thief
Mission reward: 30 yen, [-] detective reputation]
"A normal mission to catch a thief?"
Fujino was speechless when he saw this.
For ordinary thief missions, the mission reward is 30 yen.
For him now, 30 is not much.
After all, he already has 1000 million in his hand...
After thinking for a moment, Fujino finally accepted the system task.
Anyway, 30 small coins are considered money.
Just enough to make up for what he just spent in the computer city.
"You bastard, stop for me!"
As soon as he took over the system task, there was a loud noise not far away.
Fujino followed the sound and saw Kaito Kuroba chasing a greasy man wearing a gray hat on the street not far away.
……
"Damn it, how did you find out?"
The uncle glanced back at Kaito Kuroba who was following behind him, and gritted his teeth.
As an old man who has been working in Sin City for more than ten years and is still alive, he is quite famous among thieves. Even when the police come, they have to call him the master thief.
He thinks that his theft technique has been so perfect that no one will find out if he steals in the street.
But today, his theft methods were exposed by a young boy...
This can't help but plunge him into deep self-doubt.
——Have your theft techniques regressed?
While thinking, the uncle who didn't notice the pedestrian in front bumped into the shoulder of a blonde woman.
"Get out of here!"
In a panic, he pushed the woman's shoulder away and continued to gallop forward. He didn't notice at all that the moment he pushed the woman away, the trophy he had just grabbed was given to her in the same way. Just left.
"All the loot has been taken away, and you didn't even notice it. I said you really failed as a thief."
The uncle looked up when he heard the sound, and saw a young man standing in front of him.
The young man was wearing a black suit and a black trench coat, had short hair, and was holding a wooden knife in his hand.
It was none other than Fujino.
Fujino raised the wooden knife, and slammed it at the uncle thief's face with a sap.
"boom!"
A muffled sound.
The uncle was knocked to the ground with a stick.
Fujino didn't give this guy too much reaction time.
He didn't know if there was any murder weapon in this guy's hand.
After all, most of the criminals he dealt with would not surrender honestly.
Before surrendering, they usually take out a knife, pistol, or some other weapon.
"This skilled operation..."
Hei Yu, who was following behind, twitched the corners of his mouth.
He also recognized the person who subdued the thief at a glance.
It was Fujino, his archrival who often deceived and abducted him.
"Miss, could you please hand over your wallet?"
After knocking down the thief, Fujino didn't greet Kaito Kuroba immediately, but walked slowly towards the woman who had just bumped into the thief.
"Have you seen it?"
The woman turned around, looking a little surprised.
The woman is wearing a black suit and red tie, a brown trench coat, a small hat and sunglasses.
Judging from the details of the face, it should be a mixed-race blond beauty.
"You must be a magician, right?"
Fujino looked at the woman for a moment, and then said: "When the thief hit you just now, you took the wallet in his pocket in less than a second. At this speed, I can only do it in one I've seen it on my magician friend, a troublesome opponent in a white cloak who loves to do tricks."
"friend?"
On the side, Kuroba Kaito heard the conversation between the two and paused.
Wears a white cloak and likes to do magic tricks.
Damn it, am I the one not talking about this?
But I really didn't expect that the detective who often cheated and abducted him would treat him as a friend...
Suddenly, Kuroba Kaito felt a little moved in his heart.
"Quick fight! What's going on?"
Nakamori Aoko came from not far away. After seeing Fujino, her eyes suddenly lit up. She walked up and said hello: "Detective Fujino, what a coincidence that you are here too."
"Nakamori-san, Kuroba-san."
Fujino talked to Kaito Kuroba at this moment, and said with a chuckle, "Are you guys out on a date?"
"Nah!"
Aoko Nakamori blushed, and quickly explained: "The two of us just came out to watch a movie."
"Watch a movie."
Fujino nodded, "I understand, um, I understand."
"Fujino... Detective?"
The blond woman murmured, "No wonder I was able to discover my tricks. It turned out to be the detective named Fujino."
"you know me?"
Fujino looked at the blonde woman in surprise.
"Well, I heard about you before when I was watching the news. You are called the Dark Detective, the Nemesis of the Phantom Thieves. That's the title, right?"
The blond woman took off her sunglasses, revealing her face... She really is a beauty.
"Are you Judy Hooper?"
Fujino recognized the woman in front of him at a glance, "I've seen you on the news before."
"Judy Hooper?"
Qingzi on the side was taken aback when he heard the words, and said excitedly, "You must be the head of that thaumaturgy troupe, Judy Hooper, right?"
"right."
Judy Hooper nodded, took out a wallet from his pocket, and handed it to Nakamori Aoko: "Here, this is your wallet."
"Wallet...why does it look so familiar?"
Aoko Nakamori was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly began to fumble for his wallet.
After a while, she realized that her wallet had been stolen...and then she realized what was going on.
Immediately thanked Fujino and Judy: "Thank you both very much!"
"By the way, Kaito, she is..."
After thanking her, Aoko Nakamori planned to introduce Kaito Kuroba, but before she could finish speaking, Kaito Kuroba interrupted her: "I know, her grandfather is James Hooper, once the greatest man in Britain. magician."
"You know..."
Aoko Nakamori smiled, and then introduced Kaito Kuroba to Judy, "His father's name is Kuroba Pirates, and he was once the number one magician in neon!"
"I know that the number one magician in the East is known as the supreme magician in the world..."
Judy paused, then continued: "However, he and my grandfather are just the same kind of people. They deceive people's eyes and ears in exchange for money and fame. To put it bluntly, they are just cunning liars."
"Ugh?"
Aoko Nakamori and Kaito Kuroba were obviously taken aback.
Then, Qingzi asked doubtfully: "But, aren't you also performing magic?"
"My grandfather passed away two years ago, and I took over this magic troupe as a last resort."
Judy spread her hands helplessly, "Tonight, the Hopper Magic Troupe will be closed.
"By the way, if you are free, the three of you can come and take a look...if you want to be deceived by liars like us."
As she spoke, she took out three tickets from her pocket, handed them to the three people in front of her, and then left slowly.
And Kaito Kuroba seemed to have noticed something, he glanced at a black car on the street behind him, and just froze in place.
"Kaito, what are you thinking?!"
Aoko Nakamori took Kuroba Kaito's hand, "Anyway, thank you Detective Fujino, our movie is about to start, bye!"
After saying that, she dragged Kuroba Kaito and turned to leave.
"A thaumaturgy troupe?"
Fujino glanced at the ticket given by Judy, silently put it in his pocket, and put it in the portable space.
Then he turned his head, looked at a black car driving away not far away with his eagle vision turned on, and squinted his eyes slightly: "It seems that this time, the zoo is eyeing Crimson Tears... It seems that the previous notice letter also Should it be that they want to steal the Crimson Tears through the hand of Kaitou Kidd?"
In Fujino's impression, Kaito Kuroba, that is, Kaito Kidd's side, is actually being chased by a mysterious organization.
The purpose of this mysterious organization is to snatch the legendary gem that can make people immortal: [Pandora]
Eight years ago, the former Phantom Thief Kidd, the father of Kaito Kuroba, was killed by this organization.
To this day, the organization is still active.
The last time SPIDER [Spider] was the killer of this organization. In addition to SPIDER, Fujino remembered that there was also an organization cadre code-named SNAKE.
As for why it is called a zoo, it is now obvious.
Just like a winery is full of water...wine, a zoo is full of animals (livestock).
In fact, the pursuit of the two organizations is also very similar, both for immortality.
Except for the same purpose, even the purpose of action is similar.
The winery made a fortune silently, developed quietly, and did not want to be exposed.
The zoo, on the other hand, is engaged in animal husbandry, and is focused on chasing the Kaitou Kidd in search of the legendary gem Pandora.
The two organizations are not strictly entangled, and may not even know each other.
This gave Fujino, the sixth child, a lot of room to maneuver...
Thinking about it, Fujino's mind suddenly appeared a strategy of a senior traveler: [Exorcise wolves and chase tigers]
Since the two organizations have similar purposes and are both secretive, they may not know each other...
Then it would be very simple for the zoo to fight with the winery.
After they fought, even if Fujino couldn't get any clues from it, he could still make the two organizations build conflicts with each other and become hostile to each other in the future, consuming his own strength to deal with each other.
What Fujino has to do now is just to let both parties know the other's existence and create a little conflict.
