Chapter 902: Chuunibyou Girl: Sorrow
Everyone followed Conan to the the scene in front of me, I naturally knew what had just happened.
As for the origin of that loud noise, there is naturally no need to explain it in detail.
Ooka Momiji glanced at the edge of the broken window.
Then he said with a hint of worry in his tone: "He won't die, will he?"
"No way!"
Yuan Zi, who was standing next to him, crossed his arms confidently and said, "When has the senior ever killed anyone?"
As she spoke, she also asked Xiaolan: "Am I right, Lan?"
"That's true..."
Xiaolan thought hard and nodded: "Senior's attack was a little heavy, but no one was killed."
After saying that, she hesitated again and whispered, "That is... maybe I have to stay in the hospital for a few months?"
"I'm still very measured in my actions, okay?"
Fujino was speechless for a moment, "I just knocked him unconscious. Even if he was injured, it was from falling from the attic..."
As he spoke, he also calculated: "It's more than six meters high. I think at most I'll just break a rib, or an arm or a leg, right?"
"Is that all?"
Ooka Hongye pinched her chin when she heard this: "I thought you would need my help this time, but it seems that you don't need my help anymore..."
"Please put away your magical powers, Miss Hongye."
Fujino laughed dryly and said jokingly, "I usually attack in self-defense against armed criminals. I won't be considered as excessive defense if I attack. Even if I kill someone, I won't be held responsible. At most, it will be a little troublesome..."
She couldn't help but ask curiously: "What if there is no murder weapon?"
"Then give the murder weapon to the criminal."
Conan silently complained: "Fujino carries a lot of daggers with him. It's a common operation for him to beat people up while throwing daggers. Wasn't it the same thing last time on the island?"
"......?" Hongye was confused for a moment when he heard that, and caught the key words.
Last time on the island...So those daggers were all thrown by Fujino?
Hongye, who just reacted, felt a little dumbfounded and sighed softly: "So that's how it is... Come to think of it, I still foolishly thought that these daggers really belonged to those criminals."
Xiaolan was stunned for a moment when she heard this: "The dagger on the island last time was also yours, senior?"
'Well, here's an even dumber one.'
Fujino looked at the two of them, speechless.
"But Fujino-senpai's acting skills are really top-notch!"
At this time, Yuanzi suddenly said with emotion: "To be honest, if I hadn't known that you were acting, I would have really thought that you wanted to take those gems for yourself..."
Huihara Ai also nodded in agreement: "No wonder that stupid thief was fooled."
When it comes to the matter of Kojima, the little loli and Miss Suzuki reached a consensus.
After all, they both still remembered that time when Fujino and the young lady from Kyoto went out on a date together.
"When you are in the martial arts world, you will inevitably get hurt. If you don't want to get hurt, you have to have decent acting skills..."
"Let's not talk about it for now. Even though that guy was knocked unconscious, we should tie him up first. It would be terrible if he suddenly wakes up and runs away."
Fujino smelled the scent of Shura Field, frowned slightly, and decisively fled the scene.
Coming to the window, he stuck his head out and looked down.
At this time, the fog outside the B&B was still thick, and the moonlight shining through the fog seemed even more hazy.
Sakaki Shokichi fell heavily to the ground and fainted, and no one knew whether he was dead or alive.
Fujino didn't care if he died.
It’s only three floors high. With a super scientist’s physique, how could he die from falling?
Just when Fujino stopped.
The thick fog surrounding it, illuminated by the faint moonlight, was suddenly blown by a breeze, causing ripples.
A small figure gradually emerged from the thick fog.
Fujino took a closer look and found that it was the little girl from last night.
In short, Asami Otozawa, or a ghost or something, appeared next to Sakaki Shokichi who was lying on the ground.
Asami Otozawa stared down at Sakaki Shokichi.
After a moment, she slowly raised her head and cast her gaze towards the attic of the B&B.
Fujino's eyes met hers, and the two of them just stared at each other from different heights.
Under Fujino's gaze, a little girl's smile appeared on Asami Otozawa's illusory face, her lips slightly opened, as if she was saying something, but no sound came out.
Suddenly, a breeze blew slowly.
The thick fog was stirred again.
By the time calm was restored, the figure had already disappeared in the thick fog.
Fujino stared at the place where the girl disappeared, his eyes slightly closed, and his lips moved slightly to imitate the words she had just said:
"Thank you, uncle...?"
"Really? Who is the uncle?"
…………
Fujino jumped down from the building and tied up Sakaki Shokichi.
The fugitive mastermind of the jewel theft was finally captured.
As for the injury... I can only say that Fujino took care of it.
Whether the bones will grow crooked in the future has nothing to do with him.
As for other people, they will not pay attention to the human rights of this jewelry robber and murderer.
Although Conan is the Demon of Light, he is not a saint.
As long as the person is not dead and can be judged by law, any serious injury is his own fault.
Who told you and Fujino to take out the daggers?
If you meet someone like Fujino, you should just kneel down and admit your mistake.
If you save him some trouble, maybe nothing will happen.
If you are really pitiful, maybe this guy can comfort you.
What's more, if you don't take out your weapon, people can throw two daggers at you and beat you up.
If you take out your weapon, isn't that simply courting death?
…………
It was already late, and after everyone had dealt with Sakaki Shokichi, they said hello to the Nagakura couple and the other members of the tour group, then returned to their rooms to sleep and wait until tomorrow morning to call the police.
Before Huiyuan Ai was about to return to her room, Conan called her:
"Hello, Huiyuan." "Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Huiyuan Ai looked at him and asked in confusion: "What do you want me to do?"
"If I'm fine, I can't call you, right?"
Conan complained in his heart and said, "I just think there's something wrong with Fujino."
"Something's wrong?"
Confused, Huiyuan Ai asked, "What's wrong?"
“Something is wrong!”
Conan put his hands in his pockets, looked around, and whispered: "Don't you think Fujino seems to have some ability to predict the future?"
Huihara Ai thought about it and frowned: "I heard him say before that he can predict the future."
Conan's eyes widened when he heard this: "Can Fujino really predict the future?"
Huiyuan Ai looked at him speechlessly: "I say, Edogawa, you must be a fool, right?"
Conan's eyebrow twitched: "Hey, didn't you say he could predict the future?"
"I was just joking..."
Huiyuan Ai spread her hands helplessly: "He did say that he could predict the future, but it was just a detective's intuition, just like your intuition would make you suspect who the murderer is. His intuition was just the intuition of seeing through clues."
As she said that, she looked at Conan speechlessly: "We are just investigating what secrets Fujino has, or whether he has discovered our identities. What do you mean by predicting the future? Why do I feel like you have deified Fujino?"
After a pause, she teased, "According to your method of investigation, will Fujino become the reincarnation of a banished immortal from heaven and come to the human world to save all living beings tomorrow?"
"Or, in other words, is there a hero who possesses a golden finger like in the game and was reborn from another world to this world?"
"Still, ahem!"
Huihara Ai covered her eyes and said in a bland and immature tone: "There are monsters from another world sealed in my eyes. If they are released, the whole world will be destroyed by Black Dragon!"
"Hey, Huiyuan, aren't you taking this too far?"
Facing Conan's complaints, Huibara Ai rolled her eyes and said, "It was you, the great detective Edogawa, who started to act outrageous first, right?"
Conan looked at Huihara Ai who first put on a vivid performance of a chuunibyou girl, and then retorted to him. He suddenly felt helpless and said, "This is just my guess. I just think that Fujino must be hiding some secret from us. After all, this guy went straight to Ozawa's house without confirming any clues and just got some information from the people in the village, and then found the gem directly..."
"It's hard not to feel that this kind of performance is outrageous, okay?"
"You really think too much."
Huihara Ai subconsciously touched her bag and said, "He went to Otsawa's house just to investigate. The gemstone should just be a coincidence."
"What a coincidence?"
Conan curled his lips, secretly feeling that Huibara was really biased.
We had clearly agreed to investigate Fujino before, but now he is playing this trick on him.
Aren’t we good comrades on the same front?
After complaining in his heart, he showed dead fish eyes and reasoned: "How can there be such a coincidence? I feel like he seems to have known everything in advance. He even knew that Sakaki would come tonight. Moreover, he didn't sleep the whole night before. He sighed and felt melancholy. I don't know what he was thinking..."
"He stayed up late last night?"
Haibara Ai was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and there was obviously a hint of concern in her tone.
Conan: "..."
Let her be destroyed. There is no hope for this child, Haibara Ai!
When I woke up, I felt like I was at war with the world!
Conan couldn't help but sigh. Facing this middle school girl with a second-year syndrome, a dark and sharp tongue, and an expert at arguing with others, he felt a little tired.
"Okay, I know what you said. Actually, when I think about it, it's not a coincidence."
Ai Huihara looked at Conan's uncomfortable expression, and felt that her daily task was completed, so she became serious: "I think Fujino should have relied on reasoning to figure it out."
Then she turned to Conan and asked, "Didn't you notice that after learning about this case, he immediately confirmed that the jewelry appraiser was the mastermind?"
"That's true..."
Conan nodded, "But does it matter?"
"Hasn't it occurred to you, the detective?"
Huiyuan Ai crossed her arms and sighed, "Didn't you notice the marks on Sakaki Shoukichi's eye sockets?"
"You mean in the eye socket?"
Conan thought about it and suddenly understood something, and suddenly realized: "The missing person is a jewelry appraiser, and Sakaki is also a jewelry appraiser..."
After a pause, he continued, "Based on the fact that the mastermind of the robbery was a jewelry appraiser, it is definitely not a coincidence that Sakaki stayed in this B&B. It is very likely that the jewelry is hidden here."
Huihara Ai crossed her arms and nodded. "You mentioned before that the soil of the house here is very new, and Fujino also explained that this kind of house can be moved. Fujino must have thought that this house has been moved before, and it has not been moved for long because of the new soil."
Conan frowned when he heard this: "Thinking about it this way, Sakaki may have found the wrong house, and Fujino went to the village to inquire, probably to find out whose house the Nagakura family had exchanged positions with..."
"It seems that your great detective's reasoning ability has not weakened yet."
Huihara Ai gave him a teasing look, "That's why Fujino was able to decide to go to Otozawa's house to look for the gemstone. He spent the whole night thinking about it, and he must have been reasoning about these things. He didn't tell us, so I guess he just hasn't decided yet."
After thinking for a while, she continued, "As for why we can be sure it will be tonight, it's probably because we slept very late last night, and Sakaki didn't have time to act. Tonight everyone went to bed normally, so he naturally acted."
"That makes sense, then?"
Conan frowned when he heard this: "If that's the case, how strong is Fujino's reasoning ability?"
"I'm afraid his reasoning ability can really reach the level of predicting the future, so we have to investigate whether he knows our identity..."
Huihara Ai showed a slightly helpless expression: "We have to deduce carefully to figure out even this little plan of his. If he really has hidden something, I'm afraid we won't be able to detect it all at once."
"Indeed it is……"
Conan nodded and listened to what Haibara Ai said. At the same time, the shadow of Fujino, which seemed like an insurmountable mountain, in his heart couldn't help but grow a little taller.
He couldn't even detect this little plan...
If there really is some big plan, he probably won't know until he dies, right?
Thinking of this, Conan clenched his fists and felt his fighting spirit rise a little more.
It's like that Souls player who can't beat the BOSS and the handle is about to break, but he still keeps going up to scrape it.
After all, this is the fun of beating the BOSS!
…………
the next morning.
Someone from the Gifu Prefecture headquarters came and took Sakaki Shokichi away.
Although she was still involved in the jewelry robbery, Mrs. Gentleman, who had always insisted that her son was not a murderer, burst into tears on the spot because she was relieved of the label of murderer.
Mr. Xi still looks dignified, but in fact, he is just like Madam Junzi in his heart...
But as the pillar of the family, he needs to maintain his dignity and cannot show weakness.
Even though the person who was cleared of his grievances had already died, the Nagakura family still prepared a sumptuous dinner and celebrated well.
The most important thing is to express gratitude to Fujino, a detective who does not take a penny and has a noble character.
Fujino, on the other hand, fell into deep thought as he looked at the five million dollars and several gemstones that had arrived in his account.
