The unscientific detective in Conan

Maori Detective Agency, in a dark room in the four-story building opposite.

Fujino looked at the newspapers and photos strung together with red lines on the wall in front of him, his dark pupils full of haze.

He traveled through time and space to the world of Detective Conan!

Not only did he come to the world of Kexue, he also lived in the legendary crime city of Miwa Town and became an eighteen-year-old detective!

Looking at the "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei Era" report in the newspaper pinned to the wall, Fujino couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and then sighed softly.

The original owner's name is Touji Fujino. His parents were assassinated and passed away quietly a year ago. With no relatives and no savings, he caught the murderer by the way in order to survive, and became a full-time detective in high school.

It's just that he's not very good at being a detective.

Unlike Shinichi Kudo, who always found people dead wherever he went, as a detective he rarely encountered murder cases, so he didn't gain any reputation even after working for a year.

The only income he earns is to accept daily commissions to catch cats and dogs. Even every time his employer entrusts him with a commission at a price far lower than the market price, it is difficult for him to refuse, because this is his entire source of livelihood.

In this way, he went out early and came back late. After one year of becoming a detective, he was either looking for cats or catching dogs. He finally couldn't bear it anymore.

His body, which was already exhausted both mentally and physically, accidentally contracted a cold yesterday while investigating an affair. With a fever of more than 40 degrees, he died suddenly in a cold windy night.

"It's so sad..."

Fujino sighed and sympathized with the tragedy of the original owner.

Judging from the memories he inherited, the original owner didn't actually need to live such a tiring life. Even if he went out to rent a house, with his diligent spirit, his life was more than enough.

It's a pity that he can't let go of the only four-story building he inherited from his parents' company that collapsed...

You know, there is a fixed property tax in Neon. Taking Fujino's current four-story building as an example, the fixed property tax is 1.5 million yen a year, which is equivalent to the current exchange rate at that time. 150,000 cny!

It doesn’t matter whether you are an adult or not in Neon, as long as the house is in your name, you have to pay taxes!

The original owner can only earn 50,000 yen per commission, and sometimes even less than 20,000 yen.

Excluding ordinary living costs, at the end of the year, the original owner wanted to make up 1.5 million in taxes, but he still had no savings left.

Neon's tax is so cruel that he won't even let him, a poor and helpless eighteen-year-old child go.

As for renting, it's not like he hasn't thought about it...but he is only eighteen years old and cannot rent out a house without a guardian.

Ding dong!

At this time, the doorbell rang.

Fujino's heart tightened when he heard this...

Are you here to collect property fees?

He only has more than one million left on hand now. If he takes this away, he may not be able to pay this year's fixed property tax!

Sighing, he had to skip the 100-square-meter bedroom, came to the door, and opened the door.

What caught his eye was not the property manager in a suit with an ugly expression on his face, but a girl wearing a dark blue school uniform with horns on her head.

After pushing the door open, Mao Lilan looked at the thin and cautious young man inside the half-open door, showed a faint smile, and bowed politely: "Hello, Senior Fujino, my name is Mao Lilan, and I live here. Opposite the senior's house, in the same class as the senior... I'm sorry for the sudden intrusion, but you haven't come to school for a month, and the phone can't be reached, so the teacher can only arrange for me to come over to confirm the situation..."

Classmate, senior, Mao Lilan?

By the way, the high school where the original owner attended seemed to be Didan High School... Because he went to work as a full-time detective halfway through, the original owner's grades plummeted, and he had to be demoted by the school... so now he and Mao Lilan should be in the same class.

Because of this, the original owner, who had no hope for the school, became even more desperate. In order to make money, he would not go to the school even once a month...

"Ah...I'm really sorry. I've been taking on all kinds of commissions this month, and I really can't get away."

Fujino scratched the back of his head.

His first impression of Mao Lilan was good.

A very polite girl, with a sweet smile, very gentle, and even used honorifics towards him.

"Fujino-senpai is a high school detective?"

Xiaolan was surprised when she heard the word "entrust".

"It should be said that he is a full-time detective..."

Fujino gave a wry smile, "After all, this is where my life comes from."

"So that's it."

Xiaolan looked at Fujino, his pale face, thin body, and malnourished appearance.

Through the crack of the half-closed door, you can vaguely see the instant noodle bowls piled up on the floor in the room.

Suddenly, she seemed to understand something.

"Our family has just finished cooking. I wonder, Fujino-senpai..."

"Since Maori-san's words have been brought here, I won't stay any longer. I'm quite busy...I will go to school if I have time..."

Before she could finish her words, Fujino replied politely and closed the door.

"well?"

The gentle smile on Mao Lilan's face gradually stiffened, and then sighed after relaxing.

Fujino-senpai must have had a very difficult time after losing his parents, otherwise he wouldn't have to accept commissions to make money even if he didn't go to school.

I'm afraid senior will have to eat that kind of non-nutritious food tonight.

Really, he is obviously skinny!

I must treat my senior to a good meal some other day!

Xiaolan shook her head, feeling a little regretful.

After closing the door, Fujino silently came to the balcony, looked at Xiaolan who was walking home, and couldn't help but sigh.

After all, Xiaolan was just a stranger living across from him, and he accepted her affection.

But even if he traveled through time and changed his soul, the original owner of this world still couldn't get rid of the embarrassment of needing money.

In short, it is impossible to go to school. He would rather die from exhaustion outside. Fujino will never be able to set foot on campus again in his life!

"Ding! System task detected!"

[Host, please keep your student status to avoid being expelled! Completing the mission will reward you with a detective career binding and 100,000 yen in cash! 】

Is this a system?

Fujino couldn't help but froze when he saw the voice coming from his ears and the system light curtain popping up in front of his eyes.

After a while, he accepted the system's settings. After all, he was a time traveler, and it would be strange not to have a system.

But having said that, this system reward is real!

One hundred thousand yen was the reward for his two high-value commissions. He originally planned to continue to mess around until he was dropped out of school, but unexpectedly this system popped up and rewarded him with one hundred thousand yen!

All I can say is that he gave too much!

Go to school, you must go to school, even if Jesus comes today, he will not be able to stay!
