Conan’s Unscientific Detective Chapter 083

After a series of murmurs, the lunch break passed in the blink of an eye.

“Oh, by the way, Fujino-senpai, are you going to Miss Sayuri’s wedding?”

Just before returning to her seat, Ran suddenly mentioned to Fujino.

“Miss Sayuri?”

Fujino exclaimed in surprise.

“The music teacher from junior high, Matsumoto Sayuri. Don’t you remember, Fujino-senpai?”

Seeing Fujino’s surprised look, Ran reminded him, “I remember you were also a graduate of Teitan Junior High, Senpai. Miss Sayuri should have taught you too.”

Fujino frowned, “I didn’t even know she was getting married.”

“…………” x 2

For some reason, Ran and Sonoko’s gazes towards Fujino revealed something strange.

Being stared at by Ran and Sonoko, Fujino immediately felt his scalp tingle.

Unaccountably, he felt like a poor stray kitten or puppy being watched by gentle girls.

He scratched the back of his head, then awkwardly said, “Since it’s Miss Matsumoto’s wedding, of course, I’ll go.”

After a light cough, he added, “Oh, by the way, remember to call me when the time comes, so I can clear my schedule.”

[Detective Profession Mission: June Bride Murder Case]

[Mission Objective: Solve the June Bride Murder Case]

[Mission Reward: 500, 000 Yen, 100 Detective Reputation]

Back at his seat, Fujino looked at the newly appeared system mission and couldn’t help but frown.

Matsumoto Sayuri, he had some impression of her.

If he remembered correctly, she should be that music teacher from Teitan Junior High.

In his memory, the original owner was also a student at Teitan Junior High.

However, he hadn’t been particularly close to Matsumoto Sayuri before.

As for why he didn’t know about this matter.

It could only be said that he didn’t keep in touch with his old classmates much, and even lost contact within a year.

Moreover, the original owner didn’t have many friends to begin with, so it was normal not to know about this.

It would be strange if he did receive an invitation.

It was hard not to suspect that someone was playing a prank, just like how the original owner was tricked during his school days.

…………

Metropolitan Police Department, Section 3 Office.

“Sato, regarding the ‘Beika Batman’ news, have you made any progress with the eyewitnesses?”

Juzo Megure looked somewhat tired as he sat in his office chair, asking Miwako Sato, who was dressed in a business suit, in front of him.

For some time now, he had been troubled by this suddenly appearing vigilante.

First, he sent the true culprit of the landslide temple case from two years ago to the police station, and then he began to brazenly beat up criminals in Beika Town.

Although the decrease in crime rate was a good thing, for the police, it was a bad thing.

Because the higher-ups believed that that guy had severely threatened the public credibility of the Metropolitan Police Department.

“Not yet.”

Miwako Sato shook her head, “The testimonies given by those rescued by the Beika Batman are all over the place. Some say he’s a righteous avenger, others say he’s dressed all in black… In short, it’s very messy, and it seems they don’t want to cooperate.”

“That’s normal, after all, the Beika Batman seems to have become a hero… Who would report the hero who saved them?”

Juzo Megure sighed, then asked Wataru Takagi, “Takagi, how’s your investigation at the hospital going?”

“My side has been exceptionally smooth.”

Takagi said, pulling out his notebook, “According to the descriptions of the beaten criminals, the person who attacked them wore a Batman mask and a strange white robe. They might have undergone professional training, as they showed no fear even when faced with a knife.”

“What’s even stranger is that, according to their consistent statements, they never saw that person before being beaten, as if they suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared.”

“Suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared?”

Juzo Megure frowned, “If that’s the case, then the other party must have undergone professional stealth training.”

After pondering for a moment, he stood up and spoke earnestly to Takagi and Miwako Sato, “That Beika Batman has seriously challenged our police’s credibility. The higher-ups have given orders, we must catch that guy tonight no matter what…”

Late at night.

After school, Fujino changed into his assassin’s trench coat and put on his Batman mask. He began to wander around Beika Town, planning to catch a few criminals and gain some fighting skill points.

“The crime rate has indeed dropped a lot recently. Is it really all because they’re afraid of me?”

Fujino wandered the streets for a long time without sensing any criminals, and he couldn’t help but frown, muttering to himself.

“Help! Robbery!”

At this moment, a piercing female voice came from not far away.

Fujino’s ears perked up at the sound, and he looked not far away, seeing a man in a black tracksuit and a black knitted hat sprinting, while a woman in trendy, fashionable clothes was shouting loudly.

Proficient!

A smile played on Fujino’s lips, and he immediately gave chase.

[Detective 200% Enhancement Activated: Current remaining time 239 seconds]

Under 200% strength amplification, Fujino quickly caught up to the bag snatcher.

When he was not far away, he delivered a powerful flying kick.

Bang!

With a dull thud, the man who was just sprinting fell straight forward.

“Ah!”

A cry came, and although the cry sounded a bit familiar, Fujino didn’t pay much attention.

After two more kicks, he gained 15 points of combat experience, and then he stopped.

He then picked up the handbag and walked towards the woman.

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, a whooshing sound accompanied by an air roar rang out.

In front of him, a fair, long leg in sneakers was rapidly approaching!

Subconsciously, Fujino leaped backward, and the whip kick swept directly past him.

“Who exactly is this woman?”

Fujino swallowed, if he hadn’t reacted in time, he would have been kicked!

Taking a deep breath, he carefully observed the person opposite him.

That face, that attire!

“Beika Vixen?”

“Haaah!”

His surprise hadn’t subsided when a delicate shout came. This time, Fujino didn’t dodge again but instead braced his arms and met the attack head-on.

With the 100% Berserker effect, 200% system enhancement, 200% purple enhancement card, and 20% bodyguard enhancement effect, along with the 40% from being a martial artist, his combat power had now reached 560%.

B-rank combat power!

He wondered how his B compared to Miwako Sato’s B.

Miwako Sato’s whip kick directly struck his arms. With a “bang,” Fujino only felt as if he had been slapped by a wild bear.

Of course, it was just a feeling; Fujino’s body merely trembled slightly, and then nothing else happened.

?

Miwako Sato frowned when her second whip kick didn’t work.

Normally, someone who took a solid whip kick from her, if not sent flying, should at least stumble backward.

But what was this strange person?

Just a tremor and that was it?
