The unscientific detective in Conan

"Actually, you don't need to wait here for me all the time. Just give me a call."

Fujino took a sip of lemonade.

The sour taste relieved him from the fatigue of following the young woman all day.

"Sister Mingmei said you went to handle the client's commission."

Yuanzi smiled and explained: "Aren't we afraid of disturbing you..."

'When did she become so caring? ’

Fujino was a little surprised by what Sonoko said.

It shouldn't be.

He remembered that Yuanzi's character was very carefree. Normally, she wouldn't notice such small details.

Could it be...

Fujino thought and glanced at Xiaolan.

The case has been solved, it’s definitely Xiaolan.

Fujino looked away, and then asked Suzuki Sonoko: "Speaking of Sonoko, why have you been waiting for me all afternoon?"

"Actually, my family's treasures have been targeted by Kidd... Kaitou Kidd."

There was a hint of excitement that could not be concealed in Yuanzi's words, "Just this morning, he visited our house in person and left a warning letter, saying that he wanted to steal the egg of memories from our house."

Hey Hey hey……

Your home is about to be robbed, why are you still so excited?

Fujino complained speechlessly.

Suzuki Sonoko took out a piece of A4 paper from the front pocket of the blue sweater she was wearing and handed it to Fujino.

Fujino took the paper, looked at the notice letter on it, and narrowed his eyes slightly:

[From the lion at dusk to the girl at dawn, the clock without a second hand reaches the twelfth word, I will descend from the luminous sky pavilion and collect the egg of memory.

——The magician at the end of the century, Kaitou Kidd]

"Egg of Memories?"

Fujino frowned slightly.

There is the reminder from Kuroba Kaito before, plus the treasure of Memory Egg.

He easily recalled that this was the plot of The Magician at the End of the Century.

"I remember that the Egg of Memory was an ugly green dome. I heard from others that it seemed to be a treasure of the Russian Emperor. It has now been sent to the Suzuki Art Museum in Osaka and is ready to be exhibited on August 23."

Sonoko's voice interrupted Fujino's thoughts. She seemed to be afraid that Fujino didn't know what the egg of memories was, so she explained it specially.

"Number twenty-three?"

Fujino took out his cell phone and glanced at today's time: May 22nd.

"…………"

After a pause, he raised his head and asked Suzuki Sonoko and Xiaolan, "What's the date tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow is the 19th."

The two girls said in unison.

Fujino took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued to ask: "What month is tomorrow?"

"August."

The two girls spoke in unison again.

Fujino: “…………”

Well, he was almost ready to accept this outrageous timeline.

Today is May and tomorrow will be August, Zhen Kexue.

"Senior, are you okay?"

Xiaolan looked at Fujino's strange appearance and asked worriedly.

"fine……"

Fujino chuckled and waved his hand, feeling a chill running down his back.

Xiaolan couldn't let Xiaolan continue to ask. If he asked again, he would probably have to take a day trip to a mental hospital for a few months or a few weeks like the senior time traveler.

Time perception disorder is a snake disease, which is still very outrageous.

As long as you send it in, you will get it right.

He didn't want to go to Qingshan Mental Hospital and receive electrotherapy from the old thief Fukuyama.

Putting away his thoughts, he quickly changed the subject: "By the way, do you know why Kaitou Kidd stole the Memory Egg?"

"I don't know that."

Then, Yuanzi held her white chin with her hand and said with some confusion: "I really don't know what that guy Kidd is thinking about stealing that thing."

Xiaolan asked Yuanzi doubtfully, "Is that thing worthless?"

"I don't know that."

Yuanzi spread his hands helplessly and said nonchalantly: "I only remember that I used that thing as a toy when I was a child, and then I lost it I don't know where it was. It was only recently that the thing was found and determined what it was. Of the egg of memories.”

Fujino: “…………”

Use a treasure worth 800 million and with a certain historical significance as a toy.

So arrogant.

As expected of you, Yuanzi!

Fujino put away the A4 paper on which he copied the notice letter, with many thoughts in his mind.

This time Suzuki Sonoko came to him, probably to invite him to deal with Kaitou Kidd.

But he always felt that something was unreasonable...

Normally, if Yuanzi wanted to do something with him, he would definitely call him instead of going there with Xiaolan in person.

He might as well make a bold guess. According to past routines, the person who asked Sonoko to come over this time would be Tomoko Suzuki, right?

Thinking of this, Fujino's slightly narrowed eyes flashed with sparkle, and he looked at Suzuki Sonoko: "Sonoko, you came to me this time, do you want me to help deal with Kaitou Kidd?"

"It's not me. This time it's actually my mother who wants to entrust you, senior."

Yuanzi explained: "Of course, I also want to see that guy's true appearance."

"I see."

Fujino nodded, with a meaningful smile on his face.

A calculation formula even vaguely emerged in my mind.

Suzuki family = rich

Tomoko Suzuki = Suzuki Family

The Suzuki family’s commission = a large amount of commission money

Suzuki family = Suzuki Tomoko = rich

Suzuki Tomoko’s commission = a large amount of commission money

Money comes again!

…………

Without much hesitation.

Fujino took Suzuki Sonoko to drive all the way to Suzuki's house.

The Suzuki family's villa.

It’s still the exquisitely decorated living room, and it’s still the same big sofa.

Fujino sat on the sofa, opposite the still charming Tomoko Suzuki.

Even the one serving tea and water was Suzuki Ayako.

This scene seemed familiar.

Fujino took a sip of black tea. With the blessing of knowledge about beverages, he tasted the type of black tea this time - it was fine Darjeeling.

This amount is estimated to be tens of thousands.

"Confirm the commission... Mrs. Suzuki, what you want to entrust me with is to protect the Egg of Memory under Kaitou Kid's warning. Is that correct?"

"That's right."

Suzuki Tomoko smiled and nodded, and said: "As the Detective of Darkness, you have rich experience in fighting against Kaitou Kidd. I think that no one is more suitable than you to be one of the knights of our Suzuki family to fight against Kaitou Kidd this time. .”

"one?"

Fujino turned his gaze to Suzuki Tomoko, his eyes unwavering, and asked calmly: "Does the Suzuki family hire other detectives?"

one

——In other words, this time, the Suzuki family not only hired him, but also hired other people.

For detectives, it is indeed not good for the client to entrust two detectives at the same time.

But Fujino didn't care about this.

Isn’t it just a two-pronged development?

It's not like he's never done anything like this before.

Just take it if you have the money.
