This Is Self-Defense! (For Real)

"..."

Sato Miwako glanced down at the dagger, then looked up at Fujino, who was furiously beating up the thug. Her beautiful eyes blinked, as if she had discovered a new world. "So that's how it can be done..."

Normally, when the police deal with criminals, they usually stop short of causing serious harm.

After all, the police's mission is to subdue criminals. If they are seriously injured by unarmed criminals, they will be punished, no matter what.

But if Fujino does it this way, it will be much more convenient.

Even the Japan police, when dealing with armed criminals, insist on unconditional retaliation.

Even if you use Wooden Sword or fire a gun, you'll only be punished by having to write two reports.

Such a method... well, only Fujino could have come up with it.

Thinking this, Sato Miwako took out some chewing gum from her pocket and started chewing.

"Has the person been caught?"

At this moment, Juzo Megure walked out from the stairwell. Before he could finish speaking, he paused for a moment, then coughed lightly, picked up the newspaper, and went back the way he came. "I'll go call the people downstairs to come up. Fujino, hurry up."

"..."

The barber shop owner swallowed hard, speechless as he stared at the bizarre scene before him.

Officers, are you two pretending to be stupid?

Or does it mean that this behavior is tacitly approved?

The barber shop owner, somewhat puzzled, turned to the shrewish woman chewing gum and feigning ignorance and asked, "Is what he's doing... alright?"

"Ahem, of course, no problem!"

Sato Miwako coughed lightly and said seriously with a very earnest expression, "He was acting in self-defense, that's right, it was self-defense!"

As she spoke, she turned to Takagi, the plainclothes Takagi standing beside her, and asked, "Am I right?"

"Huh? Yes, Officer Sato is right..."

Takagi Wataru pretended to be innocent and whistled.

Barber shop owner. "..."

Your family was in self-defense and got pinned to the ground and beaten up.

Judging from this, it looks like it could kill someone, right?

Is this considered legitimate self-defense?

Despite his complaints, he felt no sympathy for the thug.

He even hoped that Fujino could kill that guy to avoid retaliation from being reported later.

Fujino's beating skills were superb; he beat Brother Jie for ten minutes without seriously injuring him or knocking him unconscious.

In the end, Conan couldn't stand it anymore. Fearing that Fujino would beat the man to death, he gave him a Tranquilizer Dart to make him unconscious.

Without Conan's injection, the poor thug would have had to endure another ten minutes of continuous injections before the ordeal would end.

"Just take him directly to the police station for questioning!"

Juzo Megure arrived late, leading a group of police officers up from downstairs. "Once we get to the interrogation room, we'll splash him with cold water, and he'll wake up on his own!"

"Brother Fujino, you went a bit too far this time; you've got bruises on your face."

Juzo Megure sighed resentfully and complained to Fujino.

If no injuries were found on the body, it would be fine, but now there are obvious injuries...

However, it's not a big problem. After all, they are armed criminals, and it's understandable that they would be beaten by the police in the process of resisting.

"I lost control just now."

Fujino chuckled and scratched his head, "I just couldn't stand this guy robbing women and old people..."

"It's okay... that guy has already pulled out a dagger. If we leave him alone, who knows what might happen."

Sato Miwako walked over, smiled, and patted Fujino on the shoulder. "But hitting him like that was a bit too much. Hmm, remember not to hit his face next time. Hit his stomach or something in a less noticeable place."

To be honest, she had wanted to beat this thug to a pulp for a long time, since her workload had increased a lot recently because of him... Of course, the main reason was that this guy attacked women and the elderly, and even tried to murder children.

Sato Miwako showed no pity for this kind of person. Since the other party had already pulled out a dagger, she would beat Fujino however she wanted. As long as he was left with a breath, she and Inspector Megure would be there to protect him, even if the King of Heaven himself came.

"Officer Sato is right!"

Fujino nodded. "I promise I won't slap you in the face next time."

"..."

Juzo Megure felt a wave of shame.

Is this a question of not contradicting oneself?

"Well..."

Hiding not far away with the Junior Detective League, Conan silently observed the criminals being taken away and sighed softly.

Originally, he wanted to go up and try to deduce it.

But then, Fujino just went up and attacked, so what was the point of reasoning?

But Fujino went way too far...

He seemed even more ruthless than when we met in the library before.

With the case closed, Fujino led the children home.

"Our Junior Detective League has done another great service this time!"

"That's right!"

The three little ones, sitting in the back row, were still basking in the afterglow of having just caught a criminal.

It's quite obvious that the things Conan deduced were all attributed to the Junior Detective League.

"But Genta, aren't you sleeping way too much?"

Ayumi smiled and said, "You were sleeping the whole time that thug was dyeing his hair!"

Genta pouted. "That's because the boss saw that I was sleeping so soundly, he couldn't bear to wake me up..."

"Well, what does it matter!"

Mitsuhiko looked at Genta sheepishly and said, "No wonder people say that children who sleep a lot grow taller. It seems that Genta is that type."

"Sufficient deep sleep can indeed help children grow taller during their growth period."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ai Haibara crossed her arms and said, "But judging from Kojima's condition, he probably slept too much. After all, excessive sleep and irregular schedules can lead to obesity."

Will I gain weight while sleeping?

Ayumi, then looked at Genta thoughtfully and said, "It seems Genta have to sleep less."

Mitsuhiko nodded in agreement. "We really need to sleep less..."

"Hmm..."

Genta was speechless for a moment.

"Oh right, Brother Fujino, Haibara!"

Ayumi suddenly remembered something and asked the two people in the front row, "We're going on a trip with Professor Agasa during the break after the midterms in a few days. Do you want to come with us?"

Midterm exams are coming up soon?

Fujino pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then suddenly remembered that Hattori Heiji had just been preparing for his midterm exams not long ago...

It seems their exams are not far off.

It's normal to have a holiday after the exams are over, but what kind of case will be triggered next?

Fujino doesn't have any ideas yet.

After all, without any keywords, even he wouldn't be able to remember what case it was.

After all, the timeline in the Conan World is just too chaotic...

After thinking it over, Fujino agreed.

Going out with these little guys, well, going out with the Grim Reaper squad, every time we go we make a fortune, there's simply no reason not to go...
