The Perfectly Ordinary Rolex

Ai Haibara paused for a moment, then narrowed her eyes as she looked at Conan.

This guy's been being sarcastic again...

After a brief eye contact, she rolled her eyes at him, then said calmly and without batting an eye, "If I don't look at him, who should I look at? Should I look at Kudo Shinichi, who has been missing for who knows how long and whose fate is now unknown?"

"..."

Conan fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, and suddenly felt himself getting a little EMO.

He was somewhat curious how Haibara, with her 37.5-degree angled mouth, could utter such cold words...

The defenses have been breached.

At the same time.

When Ai Fujino mentioned Ai Haibara Numabuchi Kiichiro, a thought suddenly flickered in Fujino's eyes.

At this moment, he recalled his memories of when he first came into this world.

At that time, he was still somewhat naive; in other words, he hadn't yet adapted to this world.

A chance encounter with a wanted bounty mission brought him to the attention of Numabuchi Kiichiro.

Numabuchi Kiichiro escaped from the organization to commit murder, but before joining the organization, he had killed countless people.

Moreover, Numabuchi Kiichiro most often used sharp weapons such as daggers.

Looking at the abstract timeline and thinking about the murderer's methods, he realized that he wasn't as calm back then as he is now, and immediately felt that Numabuchi Kiichiro was a prime suspect.

In addition to the system's bounty missions, with the idea that it wouldn't be a loss if he wasn't eliminating evil for the people, but rather a chance to make a fortune, he went to Kyoto.

Unfortunately, after some torture, it was confirmed that the person was not killed by Numabuchi Kiichiro.

Thinking of this, Fujino put his hands in his pockets, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

Come to think of it, it seems like he hasn't paid attention to this matter for a long time.

Perhaps because it was already confirmed that the Alcohol Company was responsible, and after using his memories from his past life to launch sneak attacks on the Alcohol Company, there was no need to continue the investigation.

It's also possible that the vengeful feelings that belonged to the original Fujino are gradually waning.

Of course, it's also possible that the original void was warmly filled.

After all, he is living a better life now than before.

Better in every sense.

That way, I won't have to spend every day alone in a familiar yet unfamiliar environment.

It's not like you don't have someone you know around you.

They even cherish this status quo and are unwilling to easily break it.

"After all, this was a sensational case."

At this moment, Professor Agasa for a moment and said, "He killed three people in a row, and then was beaten up by some mysterious person and sent to the Kyoto police station. He seems to be mentally unstable; he was shouting about Monster Man and stuff inside..."

"Not three people, but four."

Yamamura Misao suddenly interjected, "According to our investigation, we can only confirm three people. However, during the investigation, we suddenly learned that he had killed another person, and the body was buried in Gunma Prefecture. That's why the police went to great lengths to transfer him from Kyoto Prefecture to Gunma Prefecture."

"Who knows how many people he killed? But since he's been sentenced to death, no one cares. To be honest, he doesn't even remember how many people he killed. It's also very difficult for him to find the bodies."

He sighed, "Then, when the police officer from Kyoto entrusted him to me and that other officer to buy lunch, he ran away..."

"It looks almost as if it was planned in advance."

Conan, standing to the side, had a thoughtful look in his eyes. "Maybe he made up the fourth corpse or something, just so he could come here and escape smoothly."

"But he doesn't look like it."

Yamamura Misao pondered, "He also said that when he and his mother came back to visit relatives before, they often came to play in this forest..."

"Oops!"

Just then, Ayumi suddenly cried out.

Hearing the sound, everyone looked over and saw that she had accidentally stepped into a small stream in the forest.

"So cold..."

"Ayumi, are you alright?"

"Fine."

With Conan's help, Ayumi stood up, looking at her shoes with concern. "But my new shoes are all wet..."

"It's okay!"

Yamamura Misao chuckled and looked at the stream with interest, "The water in this forest is very clean. I used to drink the water here often when I was a child."

Fujino: "..."

I seriously suspect that there might be some kind of nuclear radiation in this water that could lower people's IQ.

"It really brings back memories..."

Yamamura Misao glanced around and sighed, "When I was a kid, I often came to this forest with one of my very, very good friends... Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten along so well with that Numabuchi guy."

He chuckled awkwardly, "I wonder how he's doing now. Come to think of it, it's been many years since I've seen him."

Turning back to Fujino, he reminded him, "But Fujino, why don't you turn on the light on your watch? It's all dark now, and it wouldn't be good if you stepped on something unclean."

"My watch doesn't light up."

Fujino raised his wrist and glanced at the watch on his wrist.

"Won't you?"

Yamamura Misao leaned closer. "There's something special about him..."

"There's nothing special about it."

Fujino said calmly, "It's just an ordinary watch."

"Ah...?"

Yamamura Misao was surprised. "Isn't this the watch invented by that fat doctor?"

"Of course not."

Fujino silently tucked the watch into his suit. "It's just an ordinary Rolex to me."

"Rolex... seems very expensive."

Yamamura Misao pressed further, "By the way, Fujino, how much did you pay for this?"

"..."

Fujino glanced at Yamamura Misao and remained silent for a moment.

To be honest, he really didn't want to reveal the price of his ordinary Rolex.

After all, ten million is indeed a bit too much. According to the normal income of a police officer, it would probably take two or three years of not eating or drinking to afford it.

Although Fujino felt that he might not resign because he became a policeman because of Kudo Kudo's police dramas.

But who knows if Yukiko Kudo has ever acted in a detective drama?

He felt that he absolutely could not hurt the mindset of this promising police officer.

After all, it would be troublesome if Brother Cao quit because of the excitement and became a detective instead.

The Japan police won't miss one more or less, but the detective profession absolutely cannot afford another menace...

If you're going to cause trouble, then go ahead and cause trouble by yourself.

Stop ruining the detective's life.

For a Mouri-niisan is enough.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Just as Fujino had figured out how to answer, the sound of a gust of wind suddenly rang out.

Fujino suddenly felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and he vaguely sensed a chill.

"This feeling... Numabuchi Kiichiro."

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes narrowed, and a glint of light flashed in them.

Soon, through his eagle eyes, he spotted a figure hidden in a nearby tree.

At this moment, Numabuchi Kiichiro was lurking on the thick branches of a large tree, hidden in the shadows of the night.

He was wearing a black T-shirt and white trousers. His cheekbones were prominent, making him look like a skeleton. His eyes seemed bloodshot as he stared intently at us.

At that moment, Numabuchi Kiichiro also noticed the gaze that was staring at him.

Fujino: "..."

Numabuchi: "..."
