Don't Underestimate Detectives, Hey!

On the rooftop.

Just as he came up, before Fujino could even catch his breath, he suddenly felt as if he had been hit by something, and everything went black.

Hiratsuka Shizuka grabbed Fujino's head with her arm, giving him a tight head squeeze under her armpit, and clenched her fists hard as she complained, "Getting more and more extravagant, huh? Ten million! Can you even afford that kind of watch? I can't even afford one!"

"Hey! Wait a minute..."

Fujino felt like crying but had no tears left to shed.

As the saying goes, "You can't see the true face of Lushan Mountain because you are in the mountain itself."

What has blinded me?

Hateful!

After a series of sparring sessions, a box of cigarettes was produced, and Hiratsuka Shizuka finally released her grip, ending the "Iron Fist Training."

Turning back, she lit a cigarette, looked at Fujino, crossed her arms, and said, "Buying a ten million dollar watch like that, I really don't know what young people these days... cough humph, what are students thinking? So do you still have any living expenses?"

Despite her messy hair, Fujino felt a warmth in her heart.

I initially thought it was to teach him a lesson, but it turned out to be because I was worried he didn't have enough money to live on and wanted to see how things went so I could lend him some living expenses... Such a proud old man.

Well... she is indeed quite gentle.

It's a bit violent...

Fujino took a deep breath and said, "I've earned quite a lot of commissions during this period. Of course, I bought the watch to prove my identity. I'm not short of money. As for living expenses and such... to be honest, after buying the watch, I still have more than nine figures left in my pocket."

"Um... what did you say? Nine figures?!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka's hand trembled, and the cigarette she had just lit fell to the ground, clearly startled.

"That means over 100 million?"

She counted on her fingers in disbelief, muttering, "Even a detective couldn't... Could it be... you're being kept by someone..."

Fujino: "..."

What was given to you?

Wait, why would I even think of that?

You haven't actually met High School Detective who was sponsored by a rich woman, have you?

Fujino instantly imagined all the possibilities, feeling a sense of unease about the chaotic nature of the entertainment industry, before automatically ignoring the last sentence.

"Don't underestimate a detective!"

Fujino gave a deadpan look and said indignantly, "My current commission fee could easily reach seven figures from any long-term client, okay?"

"Forehead..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Fujino suspiciously. "So it really is a commission fee?"

Fujino answered directly, "Of course."

Shouldn't system commissions also be considered commission fees?

Robbery... and so should it be.

Yes, definitely.

"Then I'm relieved..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka breathed a sigh of relief, regained her composure, and stepped forward furtively, whispering, "So, are you guys still short of detectives? Do you think I could be a detective?"

Fujino: "..."

Hey, Miss Saintess, can you be a little more reserved?

Why give up being a proper teacher and become a detective...?

With your skills, you're more suited to being a shrew like Sato Miwako!

"Just kidding!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka chuckled and patted Fujino on the shoulder, "Why didn't you say you were a tycoon earlier? I thought you were... Never mind! Since you're so rich, remember to make up for the ramen you owe me. Get the most luxurious one, with extra crab sticks!"

"Well..."

Fujino tidied his messy hair, watched Hiratsuka Shizuka walk briskly away from the rooftop, and sighed.

He got several boxes of cigarettes thrown at him and also got beaten up for nothing.

Um... this doesn't seem like a solid piece of evidence?

The next day, Beika Town, 5-chome.

Ran and Uncle Mori got ready to go out early in the morning, and brought Conan along as well.

Ran was wearing a green top she had bought at the department store, white high heels, and brown trousers. The trousers were very warm and perfect for the autumn and winter weather.

Uncle Mori is still the same as always, always wearing the same suit, or does he often have a replacement?

Conan, on the other hand, was wearing a yellow hoodie with a blue jacket over it.

"Ran!"

Sonoko also rushed over.

Wearing a white headband, a pink suit jacket, a purple shirt underneath, and a white skirt, with white stockings around her feet, she exudes the air of a young socialite.

She called out to Ran, glanced around but didn't see Fujino, and then asked in confusion, "Hasn't Fujino- Senior left yet?"

"That kid is probably still sleeping in, right?"

Mori Kogoro guessed, "It's the weekend after all, let's wait a bit."

Conan frowned, sensing something was off, but he quickly came to a conclusion, his lips twitching. "This guy, could he have forgotten the time?"

"I remember you were supposed to be going on a trip with us today... This is..."

Ai Haibara stood on the fourth floor of the detective agency, beside Fujino. She glanced at the three people who were waiting downstairs, and looked at Fujino with a puzzled expression.

Fujino sighed, "Don't ask, it's all tears when you talk about it."

"Was there a car crash?"

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara nodded, immediately understanding.

It seems they were unaware of the time, and the two groups accidentally bumped into each other?

Ai Haibara's eyes flickered slightly, and she could only reach out her small hand to pat Fujino's hand in comfort.

Just as the two were talking, Professor Agasa arrived, intending to pick up Ai Haibara and Conan.

"Is Fujino- Senior going on a trip too?"

Ran looked at the little ones in front of her with a puzzled expression.

"That's right!"

Ayumi nodded. "Brother Fujino is going to Mount Fuji with us today!"

Sonoko frowned and thought for a moment, "But, Senior is going to Tokiwa Building with us today... It was arranged beforehand."

As soon as he came downstairs, Fujino was immediately targeted by everyone.

"Forehead..."

Fujino felt a chill run down his spine under so many eyes. "I didn't know when I was going to Tokiwa Building either, but I just happened to run into it."

"That would be troublesome."

Ran sighed regretfully, "After all, Senior Ye can't spare two for us to use."

"Then let's go to the Tokiwa Building together!"

Sonoko thought for a moment, then suddenly tapped her hands together and suggested, "I remember that Tokiwa Group mainly deals in computer products, and there seem to be quite a few of the latest Game machine in that building!"

"Game machine!"

The little ones perked up at this. "Really?!"

"Of course!"

Suzuki Sonoko nodded. "After all, our family has invested in their group!"

"That's great!"

The kids immediately decided to go to Tokiwa Building, while Sonoko turned around and gave a sly smile, along with a "yes" sign!

Fujino: "..."

As expected of you.

Kids this age have absolutely no resistance to Game machine, so in the end, Professor Agasa could only choose to take the children on a trip tomorrow. Today, he went with Fujino and his group to visit the Tokiwa Building in Nishitama City.

I haven't been feeling well these past couple of days; I had diarrhea and am adjusting my sleep schedule. I should be back to normal by tomorrow or the day after.
