Fujino: Such a Lively Look

August 21st.

It's night, the Fujino family.

Fujino found a folder in the archives and sat down on the sofa.

"These are the results of your investigation over the past two days, please take a look."

As he spoke, he handed the file folder to a man in a brown suit and wearing glasses who was sitting directly opposite him on the sofa.

"Call..."

The man took a deep breath, looking somewhat nervous.

He took the file folder and pulled out an investigation report and a photo of the same person.

The photo shows a charming young woman and a chubby middle-aged man entering a hotel.

After staring for a moment, the man's tense expression gradually darkened, and finally turned into anger.

Even the veins on his forehead were faintly visible due to the surge in blood pressure.

"Ahem."

Fujino coughed lightly, poured a cup of black tea, and handed it to the man. "Calm down. What's done is done. Getting angry won't help."

If he dies from anger, his house will probably be worthless, and the commission will be lost.

"Call..."

The man took the black tea, took a big gulp, and took a few deep breaths before calming down. "You're right."

After calming himself down, he took an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to Fujino: "Thank you so much, Detective Fujino, for giving us the results of your investigation in such a short time... Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been kept in the dark for a long time... Just thinking about it makes me sick."

"It's nothing, just what a detective should do for his client."

Fujino took the envelope, paused for a moment, put the remaining payment into his system space, and then pretended to put the envelope away.

"In that case, I won't bother you any longer. If I need anything in the future, I'll come back to find you."

After saying that, the man got up and left.

"I hope nothing serious happens."

Fujino walked to the window of the detective agency, watched the man's gloomy departing figure, and sighed softly.

Just two days ago, after finishing the meeting for the special investigation operation of Kaito Kid, he began to investigate this extramarital affair case with all his might, hoping to resolve the case before the 22nd.

He was lucky, perhaps because of the influence of the Lucky Coin.

Just yesterday, he used Eagle Eye to uncover evidence of infidelity and recorded it all with his Vision Enhancement Glasses.

Then, the scene I just witnessed happened.

[Host has completed the detective's extramarital affair investigation commission]

[The system reward of 50 Detective Reputation has been issued.]

The system's voice sounded in my ear.

Fujino paused upon hearing this, turned around, poured a cup of black tea from the Endless Black Tea container, took a sip, and then murmured, "So, next, we'll have to deal with Kaito Kid?"

Meanwhile, in Kyoto, inside a brightly lit, traditional Japanese courtyard.

Are we going to Osaka tomorrow?

The girl with brown hair was still sitting on the balcony of the Japanese-style building, her eyes fixed on the newspaper in her hand. "High School Detective Fujino vs. Kaito Kid, this time the stage is in Kansai, Kansai. Will our Black Detective be able to defeat Kaito Kid once again...?" Her expression wavered slightly.

She looked up at the clear spring not far away, where the water was gurgling. She paused, as if making a decision. "This time, I will absolutely not let you leave without a word."

She waved to the man beside her, who was wearing a suit vest and waiting. "Iori, get the car ready, we're going to Osaka tomorrow!"

"Yes, Miss."

The man named Iori nodded, paused, and then continued, "Should I tell the hotel that has already booked our honeymoon trip in advance...?"

Upon hearing this, the girl rubbed her chin, pondered for a moment, and then waved her hand. "Not for now... After so many years apart, we still need to start over... Alright, let's inform the hotel first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

"Understood, I'll go prepare right away."

August 22nd, Osaka.

Shinkansen, Fujino stood on the platform, stretched, and took a deep breath of fresh, slightly smoggy air.

This is his second time visiting Kansai.

Fortunately, this time, he did not encounter any bomb attacks on the high-speed train.

I didn't encounter any OLs who liked boxing, nor any silly, simp-like Boiling Sheep.

"The air here is so fresh."

Ran behind her opened her arms and sighed.

Today, Ran was wearing a blue dress and a beige short-sleeved jacket, Ran walked at the front.

"The air here is really good."

Fujino silently adjusted his breathing and echoed her words.

The air quality in Osaka is indeed quite good.

There is indeed smog, but it is much less than in Tokyo, and in some ways it is indeed "fresher".

Sometimes, having an overly strong sense of perception can also be a source of distress.

"Ha..."

Uncle Mori put his hands in his pockets and yawned.

Because of the large commission from the Suzuki family, he had a great time last night. If it weren't for Ran calling him today, he probably would have missed his train journey.

"What could it be...?"

Conan, on the other hand, seemed like a victim of a great injustice, always trailing behind.

At this moment, he was still analyzing the contents of the warning letter left by Kaito Kid.

After a night of analysis, he still couldn't figure it out.

That's true, actually.

As a professional riddle teller, Kuroba Kaito's cryptic and enigmatic messages are usually very difficult to understand.

I was able to guess part of it by force.

However, the remaining codes were far-fetched.

If it weren't for sheer luck, no normal person would have guessed it.

The group took the elevator from the platform to the waiting room.

As Fujino stepped off the elevator, he saw Fujino, dressed in a traditional Japanese Sonoko, waving enthusiastically in his direction from a great distance.

She waved and shouted, "Fujino- Senior, Ran, over here!"

"The Sonoko!"

Ran quickly stepped forward, "Thank you so much for coming all this way to pick us up."

"No trouble at all! No trouble at all, after all, it's our family who invited Fujino- Senior and Uncle Mori."

Sonoko smiled, and as if noticing something, she circled around Ran and asked curiously, "Ran, is your dress new? I don't think I've ever seen you wear it before."

"Yes, I just bought it the day before yesterday when I was shopping with my mom."

Ran nodded in response, and after glancing at Sonoko, she politely replied, "Actually, Sonoko, your clothes are quite nice too."

"Is that so?"

Sonoko grinned and put her hands behind her back, showing off her orange short-sleeved shirt and light green pleated skirt.

At the same time, she also glanced at Fujino.

Fujino: "..."

He noticed Sonoko's gaze and knew what it meant, but he didn't know what to say and declined to comment.

Sonoko has a pretty good figure; she can pull off a shirt, and her legs are decent... it's just that big forehead... it ruins everything.

But after thinking for a moment and organizing his thoughts, Fujino slowly followed and offered a consolation prize. "Not bad, you seem very energetic."

"Hey-hey."

Sonoko had no idea what Fujino was thinking; she just took it as a compliment, and her infatuated face flushed red.

Ran, however, seemed distracted, her gaze drifting towards Fujino with a hint of confusion.

Fujino was wearing a black suit with a long trench coat over it.

Logically speaking, this outfit is quite normal.

But it's summer now...
