Chapter 987: Shinname Kaori's acquaintance's request
"It looks delicious, it seems to be chocolate!""Chocolate cake...Fujiano-kun, you really spent a lot of money!"
"Okay, Dr. Agasa, make a wish!"
"I'm already this old and still..."
"No, you have to make a wish!"
"We can only cut the cake after we make the wish!"
"Okay then... I'll make the promise."
“The cake is cut!”
The little ones put candles on the chocolate cake ordered by Fujino and forced Dr. Agasa to make a wish. Then they cut the whole cake into several pieces and shared them equally.
Fujino looked at the harmonious scene in front of him and just sat there quietly watching.
A single old man and a group of naughty kids.
All I can say is that I met the right person at the right time.
Dr. Agasa takes these children out to play every day and buys tickets to the amusement park with his eyes closed. It looks silly, but he actually enjoys it.
He gave these children an unforgettable and precious childhood.
These children gave his family the care they deserved...
…………
In Fujino's secret base in a house in Tokyo.
"Pfft..."
In a clean white laboratory, on an iron table, gunpowder was burning rapidly in an iron plate, emitting bursts of thick smoke.
"cough!"
Fujino, who was wearing a white coat and a mask, quickly dodged and coughed.
"Buzz!"
The exhaust fan in the lab started to rotate. On the left side of the lab, the image of Hiroki Sawada on the big screen pursed his chin and said, "It seems that the gunpowder raw materials purified by using other materials still cannot reach the purity of industrial purification. For the inside of the 25mm gun, these charges seem to be completely unusable. If the force is not enough, the power will be greatly reduced or even a dud. If there is too much charge, the barrel will explode."
"It looks like this..." The smoke in the room was quickly exhausted. Fujino took off his mask and asked Sawada Hiroki: "So, have you found a merchant selling this kind of shells or raw materials on the black market?"
"We haven't found any bullets yet. After all, there are very few large-caliber bullets suitable for anti-aircraft guns from the last century. However, there are a few people selling raw materials." Hiroki Sawada replied, "I hacked into their computers and screened them. Apart from the scammers, I found a few reliable ones. I'm contacting them now."
"Then leave it to you."
Fujino took off his white coat and handed over the task of purchasing raw materials to Hiroki Sawada.
Although he already had the profession of bomb master, he had some basic knowledge of preparing gunpowder, but accurately making the raw materials and then mixing them in the right proportions...
It would be fine to give him the raw materials.
Without industrially purified raw materials, the best you can do is make bombs.
Things like bullets, especially those of a caliber that is not that big, require a lot.
It would be nice if I could draw a chemistry major, or a gun major...
Fujino sighed in his heart, and then the phone rang in his trouser pocket.
The note is [Shinname Kaori].
Fujino answered the phone naturally and said jokingly, "Ms. Kaori, you haven't called me for a long time. What brings you here?"
"Mr. Fujino, please stop teasing me..." The voice of Shinname Kaori came from the other end of the phone: "I'm currently working on the manuscript for Volume 46. I just finished writing and my head is so dizzy that it's almost aching to death."
"understand."
Fujino nodded and said, "After all, the recognized beautiful office lady writer is indeed like this." "Alas... what beautiful office lady writer, she just changed from a social animal to another social animal who types on the keyboard." Shinname Kaori sighed, and then changed the subject: "Anyway, let's not talk about these headaches for now. In fact, the reason I called this time is because I have a commission and want to introduce you, Mr. Fujino."
"Introducing business?"
"Yes."
Shinna Kaori responded and explained, "The person is an editor from a publishing house I know, his name is Kinoshita. He seems to have a problem and wants to find a detective to help him solve it. He heard that I know you, so he came to me."
"Did he say what the commission was?" Fujino asked.
Fujino was no longer surprised by cases being introduced to him by acquaintances.
All I can say is that if you build a good relationship with the client and develop more connections in various industries, the client will come to you even if you don’t seek him/her.
Isn’t it coming to your door now?
He was just curious about what the commission was.
After all, you have to consider how much to charge in advance.
Shinname Kaori shook her head slightly: "I don't know either. He just said that he has a commission and wants to find a detective. I can't ask for the details."
Fujino expressed his understanding: "After all, it is a personal privacy. Well, I was too nosy."
"Nothing, it's normal for you to ask, after all, I introduced him." Shinname Kaori laughed and guessed, "But I think he's looking for a detective now because of that incident, right?"
"that matter?"
"Well, Detective Fujino, have you ever heard of Kikukawa Karayu?"
"Um... never heard of it."
Fujino answered decisively without even thinking about it.
After all, this name is too outrageous...
If he heard abstract names like Hualiu once, he would never forget them.
Shinname Kaori was not surprised: "That's true. After all, Mr. Kikukawa hasn't released a new work for a long time. You probably haven't heard of Mr. Fujino at your age."
Fujino: "..."
What you said is a bit ambiguous!
I am so big, what do you mean I am so big?
Am I small?
Normally, eighteen years old is considered an adult, right?
After complaining in his heart, Fujino was speechless for a while and asked, "So, what is the connection between this Mr. Hua Liu and the commission?"
"I think it might be because of copyright issues." Shinname Kaori thought for a moment and continued, "Although I don't chat with those people in the editing company very often, I have heard some things. It is said that Mr. Kikukawa recently wrote a new book, and many publishing houses are vying for the copyright of the new book..."
Fujino thought for a moment and asked, "Could it be that he gave out some secret code for everyone to crack, and then sold the copyright to whoever cracked the code?"
"As expected of you, Mr. Fujino..." Shinname Kaori responded, "That's exactly what I heard. Kinoshita must have come to you for this matter. Of course, this is just my guess."
Fujino responded, "If that's the case, then let's wait until Mr. Kinoshita comes to see me."
"Yeah." Shinname Kaori responded, "I've already given him the phone number and address, so we can talk later."
Fujino politely waited for the other party to hang up the phone, then murmured in his heart: "Writers... copyrights... codes... these are things I am not good at, but it is not a big problem."
Although he has always been troubled by secret codes, it does not mean that he cannot accept commissions that require secret codes.
After all, he has the secret code to deduce that Ji Xiaoai is here!
Even if Ai can't see it, just to be on the safe side, wouldn't it be enough to drag Conan over there as well?
This kid Conan has the aura of a passive protagonist and knows everything about astronomy and geography.
As long as he makes a little use of it and grabs this halo, he can help him a lot!
