Chapter 900 Xiao Ai, I'll give you good health
"But it's a bit troublesome to operate...""But it's not a big problem. Deceiving and manipulating emotions are my strengths."
"They've been fooled anyway, so just trick them all back home."
Fujino thought to himself while secretly thinking about a solution.
In fact, deep down, he didn't want anyone to become a loser, squatting alone in the cold snow in the middle of the night and secretly stealing the little pearl.
He didn't like that kind of thing.
Judging from the results he expected, you are all my wings or something like that is the best solution.
If you don't let anyone down, no one will get hurt and become a loser.
But in the final analysis, this is also a kind of betrayal.
After all, who would want to live with someone else and the one they love?
I can only watch and be fooled.
Fujino was thinking this in his heart, but suddenly his expression became strange.
I couldn't help but murmur in my heart: "But how could I, a pure love warrior, degenerate into a minotaur?"
"Think about it carefully. If you are sincere to everyone, isn't that a kind of pure love?"
"It should be pure love... Yes, I am still a pure love warrior."
"...?"
Conan lay in the bed, glancing at Fujino by the window with his peripheral vision. He looked like he had something on his mind, sighed from time to time, and looked a little melancholy. Finally, he seemed to have made some decision and looked confused.
So what on earth was this guy thinking about all night?
I guess he's thinking about the case...
…………
The next morning, after breakfast, the group arrived at the village.
After some inquiries, everyone arrived at a Gassho-style house in a remote place in the village.
The house number is Otose's last name. It is the home of the ghost girl Mami. It is not much different from the house of Nagakura's family, but it is a little shabby due to disrepair.
A group of people stood in front of Yi Ze's house.
Mao Lilan looked at the house in front of her, swallowed her saliva, and asked Fujino with some confusion: "Senior, you said you want to investigate Mr. Rongzhi's case, but what are we doing here?"
"Otozawa Asami is the little girl we saw yesterday."
Fujino thought for a moment and explained, "I feel that this ghost incident is related to the robbery..."
Conan at the side showed dead fish eyes: "So it's the detective's intuition again?"
"Indeed."
Fujino nodded: "Otsawa Asami has been dead for ten years. Her sudden appearance now is very likely related to this case. However, the only clue about Asami left now is this house, so I think that investigating this house may lead to some breakthroughs."
"Of course, if we can find photos to compare, we can indeed confirm whether ghosts or something are real."
"Ha ha……"
Conan laughed and didn't ask any more questions.
He didn't believe Fujino, who said this based on his intuition. He must have seen some clues, so he came here. As for intuition, it was just to fool him.
Otherwise, what else could this guy be thinking about after thinking about it all night last night?
Could it be possible that he could conquer all the girls around him at the same time?
"Okay, Lan, what are you afraid of?"
Sonoko was the first to step in. "Even if there are no clues, it's good to treat it as a haunted house exploration. If there are ghosts or something, Senior Fujino will definitely take out a knife and chop them up. It's not scary at all!"
"Garden!"
Fujino looked at Xiaolan who was following Sonoko and smiled helplessly.
As expected, when it comes to iron-headed kids, it has to be Yuanzi...
…………
"Wow!"
Yuanzi took the lead and came into the house. Just as he walked from the entrance to the living room, he was tripped by the door panel.
Fujino, who was following behind, was quick-eyed and quick-handed.
Before anyone could react, he took two steps forward, put his arms around Yuanzi's waist, and lifted her up: "You are wearing a skirt now, be careful, if you fall, your knees will be broken."
"oh oh!"
Yuanzi raised his head slightly and looked behind him, stunned for a moment.
"Cough hum!"
At this time, Ooka Hongye coughed lightly and glanced at the two of them dimly.
If he fell, he fell. Now that he's been rescued, why are you still holding on to him? !
"Okay, pay attention."
Fujino let go of Sonoko's waist, gave her some instructions, and then walked into the living room first.
"Yuanzi, are you okay?"
Xiaolan, who was following behind, asked Yuanzi worriedly.
"It's fine!"
Yuanzi scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
At the same time, there was an inexplicable sense of weirdness in my heart.
She felt that Senior Fujino's attitude towards her seemed to have improved a lot?
He just hugged my waist!
Yuanzi felt proud for a moment and gently kicked the door that had almost caused her to fall.
Door panel: You little girl, you are repaying kindness with enmity, aren’t you?
She followed him into the living room, looked around, and said, "By the way, this place feels so shabby. Even the door panels have fallen to the ground."
"Otozawa Asami passed away ten years ago due to illness."
Fujino, who was walking in front, narrowed his eyes and looked around the room: "Not long after that, her parents moved out, and the house became idle. In other words, no one has lived in this house for ten years, so it's normal for it to be dilapidated..."
"Come to think of it, the soil here seems to be quite new."
After Conan came into the house, he began to explore around, intending to investigate on his own what Fujino had deduced that led him to come here.
"So, why do you care so much about soil?"
Fujino complained in his mind without saying anything, and then explained: "The Nagakura family was originally located in this location, and they just moved here half a month ago. I should have said before that the houses here can be moved, right?"
"That's not the point!"
Conan was surprised: "The point is that Nagakura Eiji just committed suicide half a month ago, why are they moving so soon... Is this appropriate?"
"I heard from the villagers that it happened before Nagakura Eiji committed suicide."
Hongye, who followed in, felt that this was her chance to show off, so she said, "I just did some careful research. In fact, not everyone in the village supports this place being listed as a World Heritage Site. There are two factions, one for and one against. The supporters mostly open homestays, gift shops and hotels, while the opponents refuse commercialization and live quietly in the village."
After thinking for a while, she continued, "Speaking of which, the Nagakura family we stayed with should be the supporters. At this juncture of the World Heritage List, as supporters, they must set an example by moving their house closer to the village entrance and opening a B&B. This is equivalent to showing their loyalty to their faction."
"Mr. Xi actually treated us as members of the opposition last night."
Fujino mentioned it first, and then reasoned, "Because his son is a robber, the opposition will definitely use this to attack him personally, so when we mentioned Nagakura Eiji yesterday, Mr. Shi had such a reaction."
"It looks like this is how it should be."
As an old noble, Hongye understood this kind of factional fighting the best. She nodded and agreed, "It is indeed very common when two factions fight, to use the other party's black spots to attack the other party." "In the final analysis, it's all for their own interests."
Huiyuan Ai crossed her arms over her chest and spoke in a calm tone, with a hint of sarcasm towards the stupid little monkey: "Don't say that countries will provoke wars for their own interests. Officials will also form factions for their own interests. Even people will hold different opinions for their own interests."
As she spoke, she looked around and said, "Even in a small village, it's not uncommon for people to attack the scars that others least want to mention just for the sake of profit."
"That's quite true...?"
Hongye felt a little confused when she saw Huibara Ai speaking sadly.
Come to think of it, this little sister seems to have always been like this...
Cold, sharp-tongued, and unusually mature.
It's just like an adult who has taken a drug to rejuvenate.
"..."Conan was no longer surprised by Gray Sister.
Raising his head, he glanced around and suddenly discovered that Jingyan's Xiaolan and Yuanzi were quietly searching for something around.
So I was curious:
"By the way, Sister Xiaolan, Sister Sonoko, what are you looking for?"
"We're just looking for a picture of that little girl!"
The two were discovered, and Sonoko responded. Xiaolan explained: "Senior Fujino also said that this is her home after all. If we have her photo, we can confirm whether what we saw last night was a ghost..."
Conan was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but complain: "It's been ten years, how can I find it?"
"I think there might be something left behind."
Fujino raised his eyes and stared at the top of the attic: "Although the direction is wrong, I think the general direction is correct. This house is a normal move, and it looks like it has been emptied... If there is something left, it should be upstairs."
"upstairs?"
Conan was puzzled when he heard this.
I don't quite understand how Fujino thought of the upstairs building.
"Anyway, I'll go up and take a look first."
Fujino glanced around and found the stairs leading upstairs.
Then, he climbed straight up.
Houses like this usually have three floors and a small attic on the top.
Fujino climbed up the ladder to the top attic.
The small attic was now full of dust, and there were many wooden boxes placed on both sides of the attic.
These should be the miscellaneous items that Yi Ze’s family did not move away when they moved.
Fujino took a quick look and his eyes were fixed on a small wooden box next to the window.
At this moment, in his eyes, Eagle Vision had already been turned on, and a faint light was flickering inside the box.
This was determined after he came here.
Fujino opened the box, and then opened a small box inside.
Then, I saw a palm-sized treasure bag.
"As expected, ha..."
Fujino opened the brocade bag and what came into his sight was a bag of sparkling jewels.
There are all kinds of gems and pearl necklaces in it.
Judging from the texture, it should be authentic.
He had actually roughly deduced the specific process and gradually had some impression of it.
Basically, Nagakura Eiji and the jewelry appraiser robbed a jewelry store together. After being wanted, the two returned to this village and hid the jewelry here. After leaving, the jewelry appraiser turned against them and killed Nagakura Eiji.
The subsequent plot should be that the jewelry appraiser comes back to look for the gems.
And then he was caught by a few little ones?
But he doesn't have many little ones here.
"Fujino, what happened?"
At this time, Haibara Ai's calm voice with a hint of rationality came.
Fujino turned around and saw her climbing up the ladder.
“We did find something.”
Fujino turned around and handed the jewelry bag to her, waving at her: "Xiao Ai, come here, I'll give you something nice."
"What's the good news?"
Haibara Ai was confused for a moment and felt that Fujino had some bad intentions.
Walking forward, she looked at the bag in confusion.
Then he exclaimed in surprise: "Gemstones... Could these be the stolen gemstones?"
"That's it."
Fujino opened the bag of gems and whispered, "Take a quick look to see if there's anything you think is pretty."
"good-looking?"
Huiyuan Ai was a little confused: "I think... it's a bit beautiful?"
"So you pick the smaller one and take it."
Fujino whispered stealthily, "We are all family anyway. This thing was stolen by the jeweler. I don't think the police will know if we secretly take two away."
Huiyuan Ai hesitated for a moment: "Is this appropriate?"
"There's something inappropriate."
Fujino said seriously, "The owner of the jewelry store is dead now. If we find the jewelry, it will most likely fall into the hands of a senior official. At that time, we can just say that these are the ones we found. Let's see whether the police will believe the robber or a detective like me."
Haibara Ai:"……"
Don't want the commission money, so you are targeting the jewelry?
You really have to grab everything you see!
Haibara Ai sighed helplessly. Although she felt something was wrong, she also felt that what Fujino said was quite right?
Indeed, these things will most likely be confiscated, or even embezzled by someone unknown, and eventually become sealed evidence.
It would be better to take two and give them to the poor, weak and helpless little loli.
So, she rummaged through the bag and took out a small emerald: "This one is pretty..."
"It's really good."
Fujino reached out his hand and rummaged through the bag, pulling out a few small gems and putting them into his personal space. Then he put the bag into his pocket and walked towards the stairs: "Let's go down together. These should be enough for this trip."
"Oh……"
Haibara Ai nodded and kicked the gem into the small bag she was carrying in front of her.
Although secretly embezzling gems and evidence is a bit unethical.
But after thinking about it, she felt a little happy in her heart?
It's like this feeling of being guilty together...
It’s pretty good?
