Conan’s Unscientific Detective Chapter 106

Chapter 106: Suzuki, Rich

After sending Yamato Kansuke to the hospital and tying up the fugitive to the local police station, Fujino, who had triggered two system missions and earned a million, returned to Tokyo.

As for what happened afterward, that was unknown.

After all, Fujino’s purpose in going to Shizuoka this time was to obtain the APTX 4869 disk.

Saving Yamato Kansuke along the way and earning a million Japanese Yen were unexpected events.

The chill receded, and the time came to April 11th, a Thursday.

Fujino’s fourth-floor bedroom.

Fujino sat on the sofa, clutching the newspaper tightly, his expression a little strange.

[BLACK Detective vs. Moonlight Magician! High School Detective Fujino Touji Repels Kaitou Kid at the Top of Tokyo Tower!]

[Beika Batman Appears in Shizuoka Prefecture! Rescues Nagano Prefecture Police Officer Trapped in Avalanche After Arresting Serial Killer Fugitive…]

The contents of the newspaper were mostly news and events from the past two days.

News reports about Fujino occupied most of it.

“What the hell is ‘Jet-Black Detective’?”

Fujino looked at the newspaper’s headline and couldn’t help but frown.

There was nothing else, but the title “Jet-Black Detective” made him feel a little confused.

However, after carefully reading the contents of the newspaper, he understood why there was such a headline.

In the newspaper, besides the picture of Kaitou Kid in a white suit under the moonlight.

There was also a picture of Fujino in a black suit, riding a black motorcycle.

The two pictures formed a stark contrast.

To create a buzz, the unscrupulous reporter combined the “Jet-Black Star” protected this time with Kaitou Kid’s “Moonlight Magician,” deliberately fabricating the title “Jet-Black Detective” for Fujino.

“These hateful paparazzi…”

Fujino looked at his photo in the newspaper, his mouth twitching slightly.

To be honest, even he didn’t know when the photo of him riding a motorcycle was secretly taken.

What the hell is “Jet-Black Detective”?

He wasn’t some Osaka Kuroko.

…

On the other side, at Ekoda High School, a young man also held a newspaper tightly, frowning.

“Damn it… what ‘Jet-Black Detective Fujino’… he still let Kaitou Kid escape!”

Kuroba Kaito complained bitterly about the content of the newspaper, his words full of dissatisfaction.

“Kaito!”

Just then, Nakamori Aoko suddenly appeared behind Kuroba Kaito, calling out and patting his back.

“Ouch!”

Kuroba Kaito felt a sharp pain in his back from the pat, and a wave of fear washed over him, causing cold sweat to break out on his back.

“Kaito, what’s wrong?”

Nakamori Aoko looked at Kuroba Kaito’s strange appearance, surprised.

“Nothing.”

Kuroba Kaito recovered, noticing Aoko’s strange expression, and explained, “I just accidentally fell while practicing magic yesterday, and my back still hurts a bit…”

“Practicing magic… you didn’t go peeking into the girls’ changing room again, did you…?”

“How could I!”

Kuroba Kaito looked like he was about to cry.

If he really got injured peeking into the girls’ changing room, it would be fine… at least it wouldn’t leave a psychological shadow… If he had a chance to do it again, he would never provoke that bastard with the frozen fish!

…

Meanwhile, at Teitan High School.

“Fujino-senpai, can you come to my house after school?”

“Huh?”

Fujino stared at Sonoko, who had just invited him to her home, and was stunned.

What did this silly girl Sonoko want him to do at her house?

Could it be some strange idea…?

Could she be coveting his good looks, but unable to get him, wanted to force herself on him?

Thinking of this, Fujino’s brow furrowed slightly: “Can I ask, Sonoko, why are you inviting me to your house?”

“Because my mother wants to see you.”

“?”

Hearing Sonoko’s even more outlandish words, Fujino’s confused little eyes were full of bewilderment.

It wasn’t Sonoko who wanted to take him home, but Suzuki Tomoko who wanted to see him?

Could it be that it wasn’t Sonoko who had designs on him, but Tomoko?

Why did things feel inexplicably even more absurd?

“Ahem.”

Fujino lightly coughed, feeling that things wouldn’t be that simple.

“Sonoko, can you explain clearly, why does your mother want to see me?”

“It’s like this, my mother plans to invite Fujino-senpai to protect the Jet-Black Star on our Suzuki Zaibatsu’s 60th anniversary ship…”

After Suzuki Sonoko’s explanation, Fujino finally understood what was going on.

It was indeed Suzuki Tomoko who wanted to see him.

But it was about the commission to protect the Jet-Black Star, not anything else strange.

…

After school, at the Suzuki residence.

In the simply and elegantly decorated living room, Fujino sat on the sofa in front of the coffee table, and directly opposite him sat a middle-aged woman in her forties, still charming.

“Fujino-kun, please have some tea.”

Beside them, Suzuki Ayako, dressed in casual clothes, held a teapot and gently bowed, pouring black tea into the teacup on the coffee table in front of Fujino.

“Thank you.”

Fujino nodded, picked up the black tea, and took a small sip.

Immediately, he tasted it; this was definitely a valuable, high-grade black tea.

Even the endless black tea given in the system wasn’t as good as this…

As expected of a rich person.

Fujino secretly lamented, then placed the teacup back on the coffee table, his gaze turning to Suzuki Tomoko sitting opposite him on the sofa: “So, Mrs. Suzuki, you want to commission me to protect the Jet-Black Star this time?”

“That’s right.”

Suzuki Tomoko scrutinized Fujino, then smiled and said, “I believe there’s no one more suitable to guard the Jet-Black Star than Fujino-kun, who has already repelled Kaitou Kid once.”

“I do have unique methods for dealing with Kaitou Kid.”

Fujino nodded in agreement, looking profound.

After a pause, he inquired about the commission fee: “Since I’ve generally understood the commission, shouldn’t we discuss it?”

Since it was a normal commission, not a request for help, then as a full-time detective, accepting a commission naturally required a commission fee.

After all, he, Fujino, was not some benevolent person who didn’t lack money.

“Regardless of whether Fujino-kun can protect the Jet-Black Star, our Suzuki family will pay a commission fee of five million Japanese Yen.”

As the mistress of the Suzuki family, Suzuki Tomoko naturally knew that you couldn’t ask for help for free.

Even if it was her daughter’s friend, that didn’t mean they could freeload…

Moreover, the other party was a capable famous detective.

Fujino was stunned: “Five million?”

Suzuki Tomoko looked a little confused: “Does Detective Fujino think it’s too little?”

Fujino quickly waved his hand: “Not at all! Not little at all!”

Five million Japanese Yen, to be honest, was a lot.

As for more, Fujino didn’t expect it.

A commission fee of this magnitude was already a very high standard in the industry.

The Suzuki family was wealthy, but that didn’t mean they were pushovers.

After waving his hand, Fujino showed a look of utmost dedication: “Since Mrs. Suzuki is so sincere, then I, Fujino, will do my best to protect the Jet-Black Star and capture that thief, Kaitou.”

“In that case, then I’ll trouble Fujino-kun.”

Seeing Fujino’s serious expression, Suzuki Tomoko also showed a relieved smile.

This commission went very smoothly, and Fujino directly received his first huge sum of money since transmigrating: five million!

I have to say, the Suzuki family is really rich!
