Fujino Never Let Grudges Wait Overnight
After lunch, the third movie began.
In the dimly lit movie theater, only Fujino and the Junior Detective League remained.
"It's not bad that the last movie screening had such a group of guests."
Yuri Yuriko leaned against the entrance of the movie theater, watching the few people in the front row of the cinema, and chuckled softly.
"No, this is not the last movie."
Matsumura Akio stood to the side, leaning on his cane, and said, "I've decided not to sell this movie theater to that guy Zhang Tian."
"Well?"
Yuri Yuriko was surprised to hear this.
"Actually, I have completely forgotten my original intention in opening this movie theater."
Matsumura Akio seemed lost in his memories. "The excitement I felt when I watched a movie, and the cheers that echoed throughout the space, are still vivid in my mind. The reason I opened this movie theater was to let more people feel this way."
As he spoke, he looked up, a hint of emotion in his voice. "Even if only one person remains, if this feeling of remembrance can continue, then this movie theater shouldn't be closed, and I can't just give up so easily..."
"Boss..."
Yuri Yuriko was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then a relieved smile appeared on her face.
Time flies.
By the time the group finished watching the movie, it was already dusk.
As the sun set, Fujino escorted the little ones home in the dim light.
By the time they got home with Ai Haibara Conan, it was already evening.
They were taken home and settled in.
As night fell, Fujino set off on his motorcycle, saying he had some business to attend to for his clients.
Hmm, it's time to settle scores with that guy Zhang Tianzhengci.
The word "softie" is a derogatory term used to describe someone who is weak, cowardly, or useless. Coincidentally, what Teng hates most in his life is being called a softie or a coward, especially a coward who relies on women.
Did you offend Fujino and still want to spend the night with him?
Teng never held a grudge for the night.
Daytime grudges are always settled that same night.
Even if Jesus came, he would be beaten so badly that he would have to stay in the hospital for two and a half years.
Fujino, disguised as Beika Batman, quickly found Zhang Tianzhengci's agency based on Matsumura Akio's clues.
He infiltrated the agency but didn't find Zhang Tianzheng. Instead, he found the guy's home address.
Once you have their home address, things become much easier.
If we don't know where he is, we can just go and stake him out.
"Bodyguard job mission detected. Please check it!"
Just as Fujino was riding his motorcycle, intending to launch a righteous sneak attack on Zhang Tianzhengci's house, he suddenly heard a system notification.
Fujino opened the System Task interface, and a light screen appeared before his eyes:
Bodyguard Job Mission: A Man Being Harassed by Gangsters for Debt
Mission Objective: Protect the man who is being Sumiyoshi-kai for debt and is on the verge of becoming disabled.
Mission Reward: One million yen, one hundred bodyguard proficiency points
Mission countdown: one hour
One million yen?
Fujino brought the motorcycle to a stop.
In the 1990s, Japan gangs and yakuza were still rampant.
He Sumiyoshi-kai before...
It should be said that he has fought with members of all the major and minor yakuza gangs in Tokyo.
After all, the main income of the gang's lower-level members comes from crime. Most of the time, those people rob at night, which happens to overlap with Fujino's business scope.
After a moment's thought, Fujino made a decision.
Complete the System Task first, then go and settle accounts with Zhang Tianzhengci.
Zhang Tianzhengci's family won't run away; we can settle accounts anytime.
However, the System Task is limited to one hour; once a million has passed, it's gone.
Fujino understood which was more important.
Fujino disguised the motorcycle as a Batmobile using Kamen Rider.
Following the system's guidance, we arrived at an abandoned warehouse near the outskirts of Tokyo.
At first glance, two men in black suits, who looked like they were in good fighting, stood at the entrance of the warehouse.
These two people are likely members of the Sumiyoshi-kai.
Using the stealth properties of his Assassin's Robe, Fujino launched a surprise attack from the flank, pulled out Bat Dart, and silently took down the two men.
With a wave of his hand, he extended his silver-white hidden blade and then entered the abandoned warehouse.
Inside the warehouse, a typical gangster scene was unfolding.
Three burly men, all dressed in black suits and wielding sticks, were threatening a man in a black shirt.
Fujino recognized the man; he was none other than Zhang Tianzhengci, whom he had provoked before.
Um...
What a coincidence!
He was just about to go and ambush them when this guy unexpectedly triggered System Task.
This is a double win.
That guy not only revealed his location, saving him the time of staking out the spot, but also gave him a million dollars for free.
"Please forgive me for a few more weeks!"
Zhang Tianzhengci knelt on the ground, his previous arrogance completely gone. "As long as I sell the movie theater tomorrow, I can pay back half of the money I gave you..."
"Hmph, only half?"
The burly man at the head of the group snorted coldly and grabbed Zhang Tianzhengci by the collar of his shirt. "So when do you plan to pay back the other half of the gambling debt you owe the Sumiyoshi-kai?"
"I'll find a way to pay it back! As long as I do a few more deals, I'm sure I can pay it back!"
"Our patience is limited."
The burly man put Zhang Tianzhengci down, pulled a dagger from his pocket, and said, "Since you want us to forgive you for a few weeks, you'll have to pay some interest first..."
He waved his hand, and the two men behind him understood and stepped forward to restrain Zhang Tianzhengci.
"I'll charge you one finger as interest first."
As he spoke, he squatted down and slashed at Zhang Tianzhengci's little finger with the dagger.
Click!
Just as the dagger was about to fall, Fujino swung his hidden blade.
A flash of sparks, and the dagger was severed in two.
The group looked up in surprise.
Before they could react, Fujino had already made his move.
First, he kicked the man holding half a dagger away, and then kicked the two men who were holding down Zhang Tianzhengci away.
Mentioning Zhang Tianzhengci, he would rush off, throw himself onto a motorcycle, and speed away.
The three people were left standing there, completely bewildered.
Fujino rode his motorcycle, carrying Zhang Tianzhengci, and fled the scene.
[Bodyguard mission detected: Man being harassed by gangsters for debt; mission objective achieved]
[System Task reward: One million yen and one hundred bodyguard proficiency points have been issued]
Fujino heard the System Task was completed.
Hearing the noise, he stopped his motorcycle and threw Zhang Tianzhengci off it.
He, Mr. Teng, clearly distinguishes between public and private matters, keeping each matter separate from the other.
I stole this guy from the Sumida-kai for a million-yen reward.
Now that the task is complete and the system reward has been credited to my account, it's time to tally up the day's expenses.
In Fujino's opinion, Sumida cutting off a finger, or Furukawa Minoru killing him outright, was still too merciful...
Zhang Tianzhengci, who had been abandoned on his motorcycle, tumbled from the highway onto the grass beside it. Despite being thrown off, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "I'm saved..."
At least my finger was saved.
But before he could get up, Fujino had already stepped forward and stomped on his chest.
"It's a bit early to say that now, Zhang Tian."
A slight smile played on Fujino's lips behind the mask...
