Jaguar Express, Mission Guaranteed!
After dropping the children off at home, Fujino drove back to Beika Town's 5-chome, with Conan and Ai Haibara.
Just as he parked his car in front of the detective agency, a man in a black suit and black sunglasses got out of a black luxury van parked by the roadside and walked straight toward Fujino.
"Um?"
Fujino frowned, noticing the man.
Wearing a black suit late at night, even though he was wearing one, there was no need to be pretentious and wear sunglasses in the middle of the night...
Ai Haibara stared at the man for a moment, then her expression softened considerably.
It seems the Alcohol Company radar was not triggered.
Conan frowned, scrutinizing the man's all-black attire as if facing a formidable enemy, and even reached out to unscrew his soccer cleats.
"Excuse me, are you Fujino Doji?"
The man bowed slightly and asked Fujino.
"That's right, that's me."
Fujino asked in confusion, "What do you want from me?"
"We are dedicated specialists for Jaguar Luxury VIP Service under Jaguar Express."
Having confirmed his identity, the man politely bowed to Fujino, waved to the van behind him, and then explained, "To be honest, we've been waiting for you for quite some time. Here's an email from Mr. KID for you; please sign for it."
"Jaguar Express's premium VIP service?"
Fujino was stunned for a moment, clearly a little confused, and didn't expect that this was a delivery person coming over.
Conan, standing to the side, looked on in shock and gave Fujino a strange look.
Fujino didn't notice Conan's expression; he just felt that the name Jaguar was indeed a bit abstract.
However, he was quite satisfied with this refined service, and then looked up at the man and asked, "Does Jaguar Express offer this kind of service?"
"Of course."
The man straightened up slightly, and although his face was stern, a hint of embarrassment could still be seen. He shouted the slogan, "Jaguar Express, mission accomplished! Providing the best service to our employers, delivering quickly anytime, anywhere! 24 hours domestically, 42 hours internationally, delivery time is based on timely signature upon delivery to the address."
Fujino: "..."
Okay, I can tell you don't want to shout this slogan anymore either.
However, delivery within 24 hours is indeed quite fast.
Moreover, 42 hours abroad...
They'd probably just fly there and kill them.
Jaguar Express is pretty outrageous.
"Where should I put it?"
At this moment, two burly men in suits took a huge cardboard box out of the trunk of the van. The man took out a shipping order from his pocket and handed it to Fujino: "Please check the shipping order and make sure the goods are intact. Also, please pay the service fee for this VIP service."
Fujino was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. "Service fee?"
"That's right, Mr. KID chose the cash on delivery service."
The man reminded them, "Depending on the delivery distance, the service fee for this trip is 10,000 yen."
"Ten thousand yen..."
Fujino's brow twitched violently.
This price isn't cheap...
Kuroba Kaito, didn't he already say it would include free shipping?
They actually pulled this stunt!
It's obvious they didn't take his words seriously!
Fujino sighed helplessly, cursing Kuroba Kaito in his heart, but had no choice but to sign the shipping order.
Opening the large box revealed a disassembled Hang Glider, along with an instruction manual. Also included were an extra playing card gun, a complete original Kaito Kid costume, and a monocle.
There was also a card next to it that read:
[Great Detective KID! This is the hang Hang Glider you ordered. Everything else is a small gift from me, so please remember to thank me! Remember to pay on delivery—KID]
"This kid... he actually tried to pull this on me!"
Fujino's eyebrow twitched slightly. "Cash on delivery, huh? And you even mentioned it on purpose! You're definitely not getting any juice next time!"
Conan: "..."
So, how come you were able to receive a package from KID?
Moreover, it also contains a complete set of equipment, clothing, and a hang Hang Glider...
Why don't I have one!
Damn it...
"I'm going home now!"
Conan glanced at Fujino with a sour, resentful look, then turned and returned to the Mori Detective Agency without looking back.
"Looks like someone's jealous..."
Ai Haibara glanced back at Conan's resentful back, a slight smirk playing on her lips.
"Oh, right, next time I see him, I should bring him something warm..."
Meanwhile, Fujino was still pondering how to retaliate. "Sending warmth to our fellow villagers, rice, flour, and soybean oil should be enough, right?"
Ai Haibara: "..."
Why do you suddenly seem a bit childish?
I really don't understand what you detectives and phantom thieves are thinking.

"System detective mission detected as complete!"
"Two million yen and three hundred Detective Reputation have been awarded!"
"Current Detective Reputation: 800, 1200 points remaining to upgrade"
Current balance: 238,050,000 yen
Fujino brought the small gift from Kaito Kid upstairs and had just placed it on the floor of the room when the System Task reward was suddenly calculated.
"There are still 1,200 points left..."
Fujino stared silently at the system screen before him, a thoughtful look in his eyes. "I wonder what the effects of upgrading to the advanced level will be. Twenty million yen, with a discount it's about eighteen million, which is still within my budget, but I don't know if it's worth it..."
For him, 18 million is not much.
He was just curious about what the effects would be after upgrading to the advanced level.
"Hurry up and gain Detective Reputation..."
Fujino decided to stop thinking about it and turned to examine the hang Hang Glider and the outfit.
The hang Hang Glider that Kuroba Kaito sent was exquisitely made, exactly the same as the one he used. Apart from the Hang Glider, the clothes and card gun were also almost identical.
The Hang Glider can be linked with the suit, and the mechanisms on it can be well hidden in the modular Hang Glider without affecting mobility.
The card gun is a multi-functional gun that can fire cards, grappling hooks, and other strange and unusual things.
Judging from the techniques used, the card gun and the Hang Glider were likely created by the same person...
Fujino thought for a moment, and soon, a smiling, balding old man with a receding hairline appeared before his eyes. "Hmm, it should be Professor Agasa."
But as he was thinking, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, as if he had suddenly thought of something.
The clues in his mind kept connecting. His Hang Glider arrived today, which meant it was ready yesterday or the day before, and Ayumi and the others had just invited him on a trip.
If that's the case, Professor Agasa and those kids' travel expenses were all paid for by the Phantom Thief!
Wow, this weirdo is really rich!
