The Grim Reaper Junior Detective Group's Great Achievement

"Secret Technique - Cherry Blossom Blizzard!"

Inside the living room, everyone was searching for the watch, while the sound of the Fatty Debu Tsuki emerging from her postpartum period could be heard from outside the door.

"That woman really turned the movie volume up really loud!"

Conan scratched his head and turned to look at the screening room at the end of the corridor.

He was getting a little anxious. It was just a watch, and it was almost dusk. He had been looking for it for ages and still hadn't found it!

"But it looks like that movie is quite interesting."

Mitsuhiko turned around and couldn't help but glance at it, showing great interest in the movie starring Sakura Sanjuro.

"It's quite interesting indeed..."

Fujino pondered for a moment, recalling the name Sakura Sanjuro, and a long string of memories flashed through his mind. "I remember the story of Sakura Sanjuro should be about a Kendo Master who becomes young again in front of a cherry blossom tree."

"Um?"

Conan, who was standing to the side, was taken aback when he heard this.

Rejuvenation...

This plot seems a bit like his.

'That's right, no doubt about it, this is your prototype.'

Fujino glanced down at Conan, muttering to himself.

Fujino remembers that "Sakura Juro" was one of the short stories drawn by Aozora Aoyama, besides Conan.

That old thief really likes to have his previous works make cameo appearances in Conan, like Tekken, Okita Soji, Kaito Kid...

Conan's character is based on Sakura Sanjuro, and the iron sword of another character, City Fiend, is also based on him.

"Well?"

Hōda Hideno exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect you to know about this old movie too?"

"I just happened to see it, mainly because the Cherry Blossom Blizzard sword technique in it was quite interesting."

"Cherry Blossom Blizzard... what kind of move is that?"

Upon hearing this, Ooka Momiji asked curiously, while Fujino recalled the Cherry Blossom Blizzard technique and explained, "It is a secret technique that focuses on the momentum of swords. The constantly gathering sword energy forms cherry blossoms around the body, just like a snowstorm, hence the name Cherry Blossom Blizzard."

"Can momentum really create falling cherry blossoms?"

Ooka Momiji dreamed for a moment. "That move must be beautiful, right?"

"She's beautiful..."

Fujino interrupted the young rich woman's beautiful fantasy, "It's just all show and no substance, it has no real combat value."

Having mastered the book of kendo knowledge, Fujino knew about Cherry Blossom Blizzard's sword techniques, but his main style was Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu, which mixed the foundations of other styles, and he did not learn this particular move.

After all, learning too much can lead to confusion. He couldn't possibly keep track of all the hundreds or thousands of kendo techniques in his mind.

Moreover, many sword techniques involve sword energy, and since he himself cannot generate sword energy, there is no need to watch him.

But if one can truly unleash their own sword energy, using this move to show off is indeed quite impressive.

"But you're really lucky!"

Hōda Hideno remarked, "It took me two weeks to finally rent this film from a video store."

"You guys, stop slacking off, okay?"

Ai Haibara rummaged through a storage box and looked at the others speechlessly. "If we can't find it by now, the sun will be setting."

"But we've already searched the kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, and shower room."

Ayumi rummaged through the drawer, puzzled, "That watch seems to be hiding from us; we just can't find it."

"Mr. Masada, do you really not remember where you are at all?"

Fujino turned to Masuda and asked with some doubt, "This search can't go on forever. Could it be that it's lost outside?"

"My wife cherished that watch very much. Even if she lost it, she wouldn't leave it outside, so it should still be at home."

Masuda offered a somewhat awkward explanation, then smiled and said, "But you've been searching all day, you should take a break. I'll make you some sandwiches to fill your stomachs..."

"Yay!"

The little ones were overjoyed and immediately put down what they were doing.

A few minutes later, several sandwiches were served on the table.

"It looks delicious!"

"It's a three-layer meat sandwich!"

"It's completely different from what my mom makes!"

The little ones were overjoyed; their mouths were practically watering.

"Actually, I run a coffee shop in the town next door."

Masuda walked over Tabata a teapot and several teacups, and said with a smile, "Sandwiches and such, you get used to making them all the time."

"So, sir, you're the owner of the coffee shop?"

Mitsuhiko nodded. "No wonder the sandwiches are made so professionally."

"By the way, how's business at the coffee shop lately? Any trendy drinks?"

Fujino looked at Hōda Hideno and chuckled, "Speaking of which, my family also owns a beverage shop."

"Things haven't been going too well lately. I haven't been in the mood to run the coffee shop since my Wagatsuma passed away..."

Upon hearing this, Masuda's expression changed slightly, and he changed the subject. "Um, Mrs. Izuki seems to still be watching a movie. Could someone please take a copy to her?"

"I'll deliver it for you."

Conan took a plate of sandwiches and looked down at them, as if searching for some clue.

"Ayumi is here to help too!"

Fujino watched Ayumi and Conan head towards the screening room, then turned back and glanced down at the sandwich on his plate, thinking to himself, "Poisoning a sandwich would indeed be a good idea, but this method is probably a bit too simple... Could it be black tea that can neutralize poison?"

"Bite!"

Just then, a crisp sound came from the kitchen behind them. Masuda glanced down at it and went back. "The new sandwiches are ready. I'll go get them. You guys eat first."

"I'm starting!"

As soon as the other person finished speaking, Genta couldn't help but reach out and eat the sandwich.

"Genta!"

Mitsuhiko complained, "Ayumi and Conan haven't come back yet!"

Genta took another bite of his sandwich. "But Uncle Masada already said we could eat first."

"Well..."

With a sigh, Mitsuhiko remarked, "You'll become a big fat man sooner or later if you keep going like this!"

"Alright, let's eat first."

Fujino chuckled softly, picked up the sandwich, and took a bite.

As the owner of the café, Masuda's sandwiches are indeed quite good.

But here's the problem...

The bread was so fluffy that it didn't look like it was from a store. Although it had been microwaved, the filling was still very moist.

"Click".

"Have those two children returned yet?"

At that moment, Masada pushed open the kitchen door and came out. "Mrs. Izuki likes to make things difficult for people. Could it be that they've had a conflict? I'll go check on her."

He murmured something, then walked out of the living room, closing the door behind him, and headed to the movie room.

Fujino looked away, glanced down at the sandwich in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

Based on the various unusual events that had occurred before, he sensed something was amiss.

Clearly, all of this was prepared in advance...

The purpose, in the case of Mika, is self-evident.

Murder Case = Mission = Detective Coins and Japanese Yen

If it weren't for these guys helping Masada with the case for free, he wouldn't have come. It can only be said that the Grim Reaper Junior Detective Group have done a great job this time!
