I Share Your Heart and Mind, But You're Playing Mind Games with Me!

"Ah--"

"Snap!"

"Duang!"

Accompanied by bursts of intense fighting sounds.

Dozens of people from the Osaka Headquarters launched a surprise attack on the Soya Yasuhiro criminal gang.

With just a few dozen mobile police officers, beating up a few thugs would be a piece of cake.

In no time, these people were beaten into surrendering.

"Hattori."

A police officer dragged the bruised and Soya Yasuhiro to Hattori Heizo.

"Hattori Heizo?!"

After being Wooden Sword down by Fujino, Soya Yasuhiro lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he was beaten up and was completely dumbfounded when he saw Hattori Heizo.

"Hmph, although your appearance has changed a lot since thirteen years ago, your hoarse voice and your clumsy personality are still exactly the same."

Hattori Heizo squatted down and said coldly, "You are suspected of violating the gun control law, attempted murder, and committing five consecutive robberies thirteen years ago to make amends for the crime of murdering seven people. I am now formally arresting you!"

Soya Yasuhiro: "..."

I've already beaten you to a pulp, what's the point of saying all this now?

"..."

Fujino stood aside, not daring to utter a sound.

I'd heard long ago that the Osaka Headquarters was run by a yakuza boss and his cronies...

We met today.

Yes, it truly lives up to its reputation.

However, he still expressed his approval of the group's tough stance.

After all, he was an armed suspect. If it were him, he would have acted as if he didn't see anything and let his men beat him up again.

"Hey, Fujino, what's going on here?"

Hattori Heiji, recovering from his daze, came to Fujino's side and asked in a low voice.

Having just Father's Face-Breaking Fist, Hattori Heiji still felt a bit of pain in his face. In the current situation, he didn't dare to ask his own father, so he could only ask Fujino, who had descended from the sky with his father.

He felt that getting the truth from Fujino would be easier than getting it from his own father.

Fujino glanced back at Hattori Heiji, pondered for a moment, then reached out and patted Hattori Heiji's shoulder meaningfully, saying, "You should go ask your dad."

Hattori Heiji: "..."

If I dared to ask, I wouldn't have come looking for you!

Somewhat unwilling, he turned around and asked Hattori Heiji, "Hey, Dad..."

"Fall back!"

Hattori Heizo naturally noticed what his son wanted to ask.

They immediately announced the end of the campaign.

Hattori Heiji's spellcasting was forcibly interrupted.

The case was solved, and the group of robbers were taken back to their Osaka Headquarters.

Hattori Heiji was reluctantly sent home.

Hattori Heizo, avoiding the limelight, did not go home but drove Fujino and Conan back to the hotel Teitan High School.

"Advisor Fujino, we owe this operation a great deal to your guidance."

Hattori Heizo parked the car in front of the hotel and squinted. "If you hadn't reminded us, we probably wouldn't have realized that this guy was one of those people from back then."

He had just talked about it yesterday, and it happened today. To be honest, the efficiency was somewhat surprising...

Unlike his foolish son, Fujino directly called him and ordered him to lead a group to encircle and annihilate the criminals, thus solving the case.

This guy is actually pretty good!

"It's nothing, just a coincidence..."

Fujino smiled, then suddenly remembered something. "Oh right, I guess this time I also count as working overtime on a business trip and participating in the operation, right?"

"It should be considered..."

Hattori Heizo nodded, knowing full well that overtime work was paid. "Don't worry, I'll talk to the Metropolitan Police Department tomorrow."

"That's good."

Fujino smiled, then continued, "But since I'm already on a business trip, how about I help interrogate the criminal tonight? Tomorrow's a holiday anyway, I'll stay another day and see more of Osaka's scenery. But I probably have to check out of the school hotel tomorrow, so I'm afraid I'll have to..."

Hattori Heizo: "..."

His keen senses immediately picked up on the words 'business trip,' 'vacation,' and 'stay one more day.'

Immediately, he recalled the million this guy had spent last time.

He had to carefully deduct from every angle to get that million!

If this happened again...

"Ahem."

Hattori Heizo Fujino: "That won't do. You must be very tired from today's operation. Leave the rest to us!"

After saying that, Hattori Heizo left out a question, "Are you going to run away on a flat floor?" He seemed afraid that his brother would be opening champagne at a five-star hotel again in the next moment.

"Brother Pingzang, you forgot your bulletproof vest!"

Fujino took off his bulletproof vest and waved to Hattori Heizo.

He looked at the departing taillights with a sense of helplessness.

My brother, we're of one mind, and you're trying to outsmart me?

Conan: "..."

This guy is doing something inhuman again!

What exactly did they do to make the Osaka Headquarters so afraid?

They're even giving up their bulletproof vests?!

And so, today's women's team competition came to an end, and the Kinki Kendo Tournament also came to a successful conclusion.

The boys' team won the championship, and the girls' team won the runner-up title. These are the results of Teitan High School's performance this time.

Despite having her Aoyama Motoko, as a team, the girls ultimately lost to other high schools in the team competition.

However, the leaders of Teitan High School were already quite satisfied with the result.

After all, in previous years, it was very difficult to even get third place in the Kinki Kendo Tournament, let alone win the championship or runner-up.

As for the bonus, it will be distributed after I return to Tokyo and start school.

However, for Fujino, this small amount of money was nothing.

He felt he had made a good deal coming to Osaka this time.

I got a free mission, beat up Okita Soji, and even got a free bulletproof vest.

The next morning, several buses picked up all the students who had come this time in front of the hotel where the group stayed. Fujino and the others also planned to return to Tokyo.

"What did you say?!"

Hattori Heiji stared at Conan in disbelief, exclaiming in surprise, "Fujino and my dad are using me as bait?!"

Today, he came to see Conan and his group off. Since it was quite late yesterday, and neither Fujino nor his father would say anything, he could only keep his doubts to himself and decided to ask Conan.

But it wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't asked; after asking, he was completely dumbfounded.

Then, he looked at Fujino and asked incredulously, "Fujino, is what he said true?"

"Real."

Fujino nodded silently. "This whole plan was devised by your father. I was just a part of the plan."

Yes, it was all his father's doing.

Filial piety and parental love had nothing to do with him.

He's given up; don't bother him if you need anything.

"Yes..."

Conan chimed in, "Your dad said this criminal gang has a very keen sense of smell. If the police get involved, it will definitely alert them. Fujino is too professional, so they will definitely notice him too. That's why he and Fujino agreed to have you take action to attract their attention and lower their guard."

"You hit me for this?"

Hattori Heiji's lips twitched slightly. "And the reason I'm being sent on this risk is because I'm certain they'll discover me?!"

"Yes."

Conan nodded in agreement. "Furthermore, Fujino had already discovered that those people brought a large group of people. At that time, your father asked Fujino to leave in order to gather manpower to arrest that guy. Before entering the dangerous factory, Inspector Otake, who was monitoring our ambush, had already infiltrated the factory in advance to protect me."

"Etc!"

Hattori Heiji noticed the blind spot again. "You mean my dad already knew those two would meet at the factory?!"

"He already knew that the murderer was Wakisaka."

Fujino silently added, "He heard that the deceased was holding an umbrella before he died, so he immediately sent people to follow him. It's obvious that he saw through the code at the time. After beating you up and calling me away, he immediately sent people to follow the other party, as well as the hotel and the two of you."

"That cunning and treacherous old fox!"

Hattori Heiji hardened his fist, his already dark face darkening even more. "If he dares to play me like this again, I'll definitely settle this score with him!"

Fujino: "..."

Your family is truly harmonious.

Perhaps his surname Uchiha in his past life?

Fujino was speechless for a moment, then, realizing he didn't want to get involved in other people's family disputes, he changed the subject, saying, "In that case, we should be going."

"That's right, that's right!"

Conan nodded repeatedly, "Our bus is about to leave!"

"Call..."

Hattori Heiji let out a long sigh of relief and waved to the two of them, "Then remember to come play again next time!"

"I'll definitely come!"

Fujino responded without turning his head.

After all, as the Grim Reaper of Osaka, Hattori can rake in a lot of gold coins...

I'll definitely come again sometime.

Conan boarded the bus first, while Fujino walked to a bus a little later.

Then I saw Ran Kazuha, Momiji and the others saying goodbye.

"I don't know when we'll see each other again."

After seeing Fujino, Ooka Momiji walked over and said with some reluctance, "Can't you stay here for a few more days? You haven't even seen the scenery in Kyoto yet."

"I still have things to do in Tokyo, so I can't get away."

Fujino snapped out of his reverie and chuckled softly, continuing, "And if you'd like, you can come to Tokyo during your holidays... but don't make such a big fuss, just text me before you come."

"Um."

Ooka Momiji nodded obediently. "See you next time."

The bus departed from Osaka.

Fujino was sitting in the back of the car belonging to the kendo club.

Taking the train back to Tokyo will definitely take longer.

So in his spare time, he opened the system interface and began to check his newly acquired system rewards.

[Host has completed the System Task. System rewards: 5 Detective Token, 5 million Yen, and 300 Detective Reputation have been issued.]

Current balance: 294 million yen

Current Reputation: High (800-5000 Reputation)

[Detective Coins Remaining: 12]

[System Review: Lying Down is Also a Kind of Wisdom - Anonymous]

"Don't talk nonsense, okay? Where did you lie down?"

Fujino glanced at the system's evaluation and clicked his tongue. "It's always been like this, okay? Being a detective is really hard! Look at yourself for the reasons, okay? Have the rewards increased over the years? Have you been seriously giving the host rewards? Honestly."

System:"..."

If he could speak, he would definitely say that he wish he hadn't given this guy the System Task he could freely choose.

Combining three chapters into two, it's basically three updates plus one more.
