Kaito: Rarely Moved, Damn It!
"Oh, it's Kaito Kid."
Fujino said calmly, then asked, "I heard you were sniped, you're not dead, are you?"
Kuroba Kaito gave him a deadpan look. "What do you think?"
"That means he's about to die."
"..."
So, what's up with calling me?
Fujino paused for a moment, then said, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
Kuroba Kaito was speechless for a moment upon hearing this. "Hey, you did that kind of thing just last night, you haven't forgotten, have you?"
What did I do?
Fujino was a little confused. "Didn't I just tell you where the Egg of Memories was hidden and that I prevented a terrorist attack?"
"How dare you say that?"
Kuroba Kaito said resentfully, "You actually used a double trick to deceive me. I trusted you so much."
"I said where Inspector Nakamori hid the Egg of Memories, not where I hid it."
Fujino chuckled and said, "So you can tell me whether I told you where the Egg of Memories is hidden or not."
Kuroba Kaito: "..."
Thinking about it carefully, that's really the case.
He said that Inspector Nakamori hid the Egg of Memories, but he didn't say where he hid it.
Damn, it's all a trick!
He was actually quite touched last night, but it turns out he'd been fooled again...
It's rare for me to fall in love with a detective, yet you've hurt me so deeply.
Blanch!
Give it back to me!
Give me back the gratitude I felt!
"So, this time you stole that Egg of Memories, and even went so far as to blow up the substation, all for that Kousaka Natsumi?"
Just as Kuroba Kaito silent, Fujino continued to speak.
"It seems you've already met her."
Kuroba Kaito took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. "This was indeed partly the reason I stole the Egg of Memories this time..."
"As expected, you really did it for her."
Fujino clicked his tongue and said earnestly, "Although that Kousaka Natsumi is indeed quite pretty, we really shouldn't go to such lengths for a woman..."
Kuroba Kaito silent. "Is that how you see me?"
Fujino nodded. "Mm."
What can I say about Fujino?
Why do I always have to assume he does these things because of beautiful women?
The same thing happened last time.
"What kind of image do I have in your eyes?"
Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but ask.
Fujino replied, "I like arrogant, perverted thieves who are mature older women."
After a pause, Fujino continued, "However, it's also possible that he's a pervert who doesn't spare either the young or the old."
Kuroba Kaito: "..."
Another silence followed.
He was silenced twice in just one short phone call.
This is truly... unprecedented.
Is he really that much like a pervert who gets lustful at first sight?
They don't even spare the old and the young...
"I'm not kidding you anymore."
Fujino paused for a moment, then reasoned, "The reason you stole the Egg of Memories must be for the other Egg of Memories, right? I already found out from Kousaka Natsumi. I'm just curious, what exactly is your purpose in going to such lengths for these two eggs?"
Fujino's cliché.
"What exactly is it?"
Kuroba Kaito smiled slightly, realizing that Fujino was trying to get information out of him. "Since you're Great Detective, why don't you try to guess?"
"Guess?"
Fujino walked slowly towards his room. "Can't the Riddler just die for once?"
"Fine, I'll give you a hint."
Kuroba Kaito sighed softly, "This time, I've returned the Egg of Memories to its rightful owner."
"Oh."
Fujino wasn't too surprised, and just casually mentioned, "I've investigated the person who sniped you yesterday. He's Scarlett specializes in shooting people in the right eye."
After saying that, Fujino hung up the phone.
"Scarlett?"
After being forcibly hung up on, Kuroba Kaito's expression turned strange. He then called out to Terai Konosuke, "Grandpa Terai, can you help me find out who this Scarlett is?"
After a quick search, the Mediterranean-looking old man, Terai Konosuke, gave his reply, "Kaito Master Kaito, Scarlett is an international fugitive, his age and gender are unknown. He specifically targets the treasures of the Romanov Dynasty and his habit is to shoot in the right eye. The one who sniped you yesterday, Young Kaito, should be that Scarlett."
"Looks like he's got his eye on the Egg of Memories too."
Before we knew it, it was the next day, August 27th.
The exhibition at the Suzuki Museum of Modern Art has ended.
That's right, it's over in a day.
Fujino was speechless.
The Egg of Memories was transported back to Tokyo by the Suzuki family's luxury steamship.
Fujino estimated that the Suzuki family's involvement in this matter would cost more than 800 million yen.
Fujino clearly didn't understand the interests of the wealthy.
A gentle sea breeze blows, carrying a faint scent of the sea.
The bright sunlight shone on the sea, creating a shimmering effect.
Standing at the port, Ooka Momiji said to Fujino with reluctance, "Fujino- kun, it's rare for us to meet, won't you stay here a few more days?"
"Let's just stay a few more days..."
Fujino paused for a moment, then continued, "After all, I still have a lot of requests waiting for me in Tokyo."
"A commission?"
After a moment's thought, Ooka Momiji finally nodded. "In that case... I wish you a safe journey, and I hope you'll stay until the future..."
"Ahem!"
Fujino turned around. "See you next time, Miss Momiji."
After saying that, he quickly ran onto the boat.
Are you shy?
Watching her departing figure, Ooka Momiji's lips curled into a slight smile. "But we'll meet again soon~"
On the deck of a ship.
Ran, watching what had just happened at the harbor, said, "Miss Momiji, it seems he hasn't given up on Fujino- Senior yet..."
"Honestly, it was just a kid's promise..."
Sonoko leaned against the ship's railing, speechless, and said, "Besides, Fujino- Senior has already forgotten about this, so why is she still clinging to it like this?"
"That's the agreement."
Ran remarked with admiration, "But Ms. Ooka has persisted for so many years because of a promise, which is truly impressive."
"Unlike you, I don't have a childhood friend who's a mystery fanatic."
Sonoko clicked her tongue and pouted, "That's why I don't understand childhood sweethearts or promises made in childhood."
The ship set sail soon after.
Noda's ship's sole purpose was to transport the Egg of Memories, so apart from the necessary crew members, there were hardly any other passengers on board, making it seem rather deserted.
Fujino returned to his room.
I lay down on the bed.
To be honest, he gained quite a lot from this trip to Osaka.
The Egg of Memories cost seven million yen to protect, the reward was one million yen, and there was also a certificate. Incidentally, he also got a replica of the Egg of Memories for free as a souvenir.
As for the unexpected variable of Ooka Momiji...
To be honest, it really surprised him.
Judging from the appearance of the Ooka Momiji, they don't seem fake.
According to the information in Fujino's memory, Ooka Momiji was also a wealthy woman. It's unclear how she compares to Suzuki Sonoko, but in terms of noble status, Ooka Momiji is far superior.
There was absolutely no need to make fun of this down-on-his-luck detective.
If Ooka Momiji is fine, then the problem must lie with him.
The memories in his mind, at first glance, seem to be without any problems.
But if something happens that is outside of my memory, then the problem becomes much bigger.
Human memory is constantly being cleared and forgotten over time. Some distant and insignificant things will be completely forgotten in about a month, and some people with poor memories will forget them completely in just a few days.
Clearly, that's his current situation.
However, this did give him some ideas.
That is, his current situation is probably the same as Hattori Heiji's original situation, both being subtle misunderstandings.
He doesn't remember what he said at the time, but even if he did, it probably wouldn't be of any use.
Ooka Momiji will not give up easily.
Even though Hattori Heiji already Kazuha, she did not give up her fierce offensive.
Especially the phrase 'ウチののdanthatさん' or something like that.
The screams were so loud they sent chills down your spine.
"This is troublesome."
Fujino scratched his head and sighed softly.
What was he thinking, to have gotten himself into a relationship with such a rich young lady...?
"Knock knock!"
Just then, a knock came at the door, interrupting Fujino's thoughts.
Fujino got up from the bed upon hearing the sound.
As soon as I opened the door, a camera was shoved right in my face.
In an instant, Fujino's expression calmed down, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he recognized the person.
It is Kangawa Ryu.
A moment later, Fujino's expression darkened slightly, and he subconsciously threw a punch.
The fist stopped just three centimeters away from Kangawa Ryu.
Then, Kangawa Ryu leaned back and sat down on the ground with a thud.
"Mr. Hanchuan, is there something you need?"
Fujino withdrew his fist, looking at him calmly. "It's impolite to take pictures of others without permission..."
"Cut!"
Kangawa Ryu stood up unsteadily, clearly still shaken by Fujino's punch. "That little girl's expression was much more interesting. What Great Detective is she? With that kind of manners, who opens a door and punches someone..."
Startled by Fujino's words, Kangawa Ryu didn't dare to say anything more.
He left muttering curses under his breath, intending to ambush the others.
However, having learned his lesson with Fujino, he dared not continue to get so close to Fujino's face during his next surprise attack.
After all, there's a big Rose man here.
If we had run into that big guy, he probably would have smashed the camera.
"..."
Fujino glanced indifferently at the departing Kangawa Ryu.
Then, turning around, she saw Ran with Conan.
"That Mr. Hanchuan is really going too far."
Ran stared at Kangawa Ryu as he left and said resentfully, "He's the one who's being rude."
Fujino glanced at Ran, "Did he take a picture of you just now?"
"Um."
Ran nodded. "I was quite startled when the camera was right in my face, just like you, Fujino- Senior."
I was startled and instinctively wanted to use karate, but luckily I managed to hold back.
"What startled you?"
Just then, a voice came from the side.
The three of them turned around and saw that it was Suzuki Sonoko, with Nishino Masato and Kousaka Natsumi following behind her.
