Conan’s Unscientific Detective Chapter 057

“I’ve said it before, this kind of sticky plaster can never be gotten rid of with force or threats.”

With that, Fujino let out a long sigh, “Now you have two paths before you. One is to swallow your anger and continue to be blackmailed by him… Without any worries, he’ll probably extort you even more excessively in the future.”

“The other is to call the police now, use the evidence I have to send him to prison, and then you can peacefully marry Shimazaki next month.”

Douheng Miaoko was silent for a moment, then finally made her choice.

…………

That night, the police arrived at the hotel near the shrine.

After obtaining a copy of the video evidence from Fujino, they took Anzai Morio, who was still unconscious, into the police car.

Since Fujino’s first strike was to stop a crime, and his second strike was in self-defense, the police did not make things difficult for either of them.

They just had Douheng Miaoko go back with them to give a statement.

As for Anzai Morio, from what Fujino currently knew about Neon law, he was suspected of intimidation and attempted rape during the intimidation process. With multiple charges combined, it was basically a minimum of three years.

Moreover, that guy had blackmailed more than just Douheng Miaoko, so he probably wouldn’t get out for ten or eight years.

[Congratulations, Host, for solving a sudden incident. System Reward: 50 Detective Reputation points]

[Current reputation needed to level up Detective Rank: 50 points]

“Sure enough, even without a system mission, as long as I solve a case or complete a commission, I can still get extra detective reputation points?”

Fujino stood outside the hotel, watching the police car slowly drive away, and couldn’t help but murmur.

The completion of Shibasaki Mieko’s commission earlier, and the sudden appearance of fifty detective reputation points from the system, had made him come up with this guess.

And the reason he came over was actually to verify this point.

Now it seemed he was right.

“Detective Fujino!”

At this moment, a voice came from behind him.

Fujino turned his head to look, and what met his eyes was Okino Yoko, wearing a blue T-shirt, khaki jeans wrapped around her slender calves, and a blue baseball cap on her head with her hair styled up.

“I saw a police car when I came over just now. Did something happen here?”

Okino Yoko came in front of Fujino, “Did another case happen, and Detective Fujino, you solved it?”

“Haha…”

Fujino’s face was covered in black lines.

Good heavens, does a police car arriving mean a murder will happen?

Something’s not right, why did she say “again”?

How accustomed is she to the occurrence of murder cases?

“Miss Douheng is really too pitiful. She was about to get married, and yet she encountered such a thing.”

After listening to Fujino explain the whole story, Okino Yoko sighed softly.

After a pause, she chuckled again, “But luckily, Detective Fujino was here. If you hadn’t discovered it in time, today’s matter might have developed to an irreversible point.”

Okino Yoko gazed at Fujino, showing a look of a little girl adoring her idol.

For a moment, even Fujino himself was a little confused about who was the popular idol.

“Cough cough!”

Fujino lightly coughed, finally alleviating that damned awkwardness.

“By the way, Yoko, why are you out so late?”

“Actually, I was originally going to the convenience store.”

Okino Yoko chuckled, “But when I passed by the shrine, I happened to see the police car, so I came over to take a look.”

“Do you want me to give you a ride?”

Fujino explained, “After all, it’s still very dangerous at night these days, especially since there seems to be some beautiful girl kidnapping gang active recently.”

“If you could, that would be great.”

Although Fujino hadn’t solved many cases so far, his reputation was growing day by day.

After all, the cases he solved, whether it was the (Moonlight Island Drug Trafficking Group), the (Italian Robbery Case), or the (Shinkansen Bomb Incident), were all extremely dangerous cases…

Thanks to tips from the police, his reputation now even subtly surpassed that of Mouri Kogoro, who had solved several other murder cases.

………………

Two days later.

For these two days, Fujino had not received any system missions and had been secretly investigating Maru Inako, the wife of Maru Denjiro.

Fortunately, he finally found evidence of Maru Inako’s infidelity.

However, it was worth noting that the timeline for these two days had unusually returned to normal, so much so that Fujino even felt a little unaccustomed to it.

At the Maru Denjiro residence.

Maru Denjiro’s house was very large, with beautiful scenery in the courtyard, several houses, and the occasional sound of flowing water hitting bamboo echoing in the ears. It was a typical Japanese-style mansion.

“After my investigation these past few days, I can confirm that your wife, Maru Inako, indeed had an affair.”

With that, Fujino took out several photos from the sports shoulder bag he was carrying on his back and handed them to Maru Denjiro, “Because your wife was too meticulous in her actions and disguised herself too well, it took me a while to figure it out.”

The photos showed a heavily disguised man and woman walking out of a hotel. The woman had a black hat on her head.

To prevent others from recognizing their facial features, they even wore glasses.

After a pause, he also pointed to the tear mole on the woman’s cheek in the photo and took out Maru Inako’s photo for comparison, “Although she was heavily disguised, the tear mole on her cheek cannot be hidden. She is definitely your wife, Maru Inako.”

“This bitch…”

Maru Denjiro clutched the photos in his hand, his teeth grinding with irritation.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, then asked Fujino, “Who is that man?!”

“It’s no one else but your private doctor, Hatano Kinya.”

“Damn it!”

Maru Denjiro angrily slapped the table, “I asked him to come and treat my diabetes, but he went ahead and treated my wife instead!”

Fujino lowered his head, remaining silent.

As a professional detective, he had the excellent professional quality of not laughing, no matter how funny his employer was.

Unless he couldn’t help it.

“Ding-dong!”

At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang from outside.

“It seems someone has arrived… Besides me, Mr. Maru Denjiro, did you make an appointment with anyone else?”

Fujino suppressed a smile and asked Maru Denjiro in a low voice.

“Oh…”

Maru Denjiro thought for a moment before recalling, “Besides you, Detective Fujino, I think I also made appointments with three other people.”

Ding-dong!

Ding-dong!

At this moment, the doorbell rang urgently again.

“Damn it, what are all the people in the house doing?!”

Hearing this, Maru Denjiro seemed a little annoyed, “Those servants, they only know how to be lazy…”

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and scratched the back of his head, saying awkwardly, “I almost forgot, because I made an appointment for you to come over, Detective Fujino, I sent everyone in the house away.”

“Anyway, the investigation is almost complete now.”

Fujino ignored Maru Denjiro’s awkwardness and just asked blandly, “Should the commission fee be settled now?”
