The June Bride Case

"Dad, do you know Tongzhi?"

Beside her, Sayuri Matsumoto looked somewhat surprised and placed her lemon tea on the table next to her.

First, he looked at the seemingly harmless Fujino, then at his father, a police officer with a fierce-looking face.

The two of them don't seem like they'd ever cross paths.

"Brother Fujino has helped us a lot... Recently, with his help, our police have solved quite a few major cases. How could I not know him?"

Yes, the two know each other.

Furthermore, Fujino became Manager Matsumoto's first younger brother.

Ultimately, the root cause is still the drug trafficking group on Moonlight Island last time.

On the way back from Moonlight Island, Matsumoto Kiyochika extended an invitation to Fujino, seemingly casually.

They said they would invite him to join the Metropolitan Police Department after he graduates...

In his opinion, Fujino was less a Great Detective and more a good candidate to be a policeman.

"If he could join the police force, he would surely become a famous detective in the town one day."

Matsumoto Kiyochika couldn't help but think this to himself.

"Tongzhi helped the police solve the case..."

On the other side, Sayuri Matsumoto frowned upon hearing her father's words.

After thinking for a moment, she seemed to recall something and asked in surprise, "Could it be that the High School Detective Fujino Doji was frequently mentioned in the newspapers recently is you, Doji?!"

"I really didn't realize that!"

Sayuri Matsumoto smiled. "Tongzhi, you actually have a talent for detective work."

"I don't think it's due to talent..."

Fujino rubbed his chin. "I think I've gotten to where I am today because of my tireless efforts."

Becoming stronger by spending money and using Deep Blue to level up should also be considered a form of effort, right?

Yes, it should be.

"Tongzhi, you wouldn't happen to be nearsighted, would you?"

At this moment, Matsumoto Kou, who had been observing Fujino for a long time, suddenly asked, "I didn't recognize you in the newspaper when you were wearing glasses."

"Speaking of which, I don't remember Fujino Senior glasses before, right?"

"I've been wanting to ask about this for a while now."

At this moment, Ran and Sonoko, who were standing nearby, noticed what was happening.

Fujino frowned upon hearing this.

This woman has really good observation skills... She noticed things that others didn't notice so easily?

As expected of Matsumoto Kiyochika's daughter, one of the few police officers with deductive reasoning abilities.

"Actually, they're just non-prescription glasses."

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Fujino scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "As Great Detective, protecting my eyes is very important, isn't it?"

As he spoke, a sly smile crept across his lips, "By the way, Little Brother Conan's glasses are actually non-prescription lenses, right? He's so young and already knows how to protect his eyes, that's quite impressive."

Conan: "?"

Subsequently, the conflict was successfully diverted to Conan.

Fujino, I love you, my immortal.

Conan tried her best to explain, giving Fujino a speechless, deadpan look.

"Little Lily, are you really going to marry that brat?!"

At this moment, Matsumoto Kiyochika suddenly grabbed his daughter's shoulders, interrupting their conversation. "It's not too late to regret it now. You don't necessarily have to marry a rich young master. There are plenty of promising and ambitious young people in our police station..."

"Dad! At a time like this, why are you still saying these things!"

Sayuri Matsumoto said coquettishly, "I'm not a child anymore. Didn't you say that you wouldn't have any objections if I took a liking to anyone, no matter who it was?"

"So you've already made your decision?"

Matsumoto Kiyochika lowered his head and looked down, completely helpless with his somewhat angry daughter.

His daughter's face always reminded him of his wife who had passed away many years ago.

He sighed softly, picked up the lemon tea he had just placed on the table, and murmured, "Still drinking this kind of junk drink like a child... That's why I said you're like a child."

Upon hearing this, Fujino frowned, glanced down at the oolong tea in his hand, and his eyes froze.

Speaking of which, including his previous life, he should be in his fifties or sixties now, right?

"I just love drinking this kind of junk beverage."

A sound came from behind. Fujino looked up and saw Sayuri snatch the lemon tea from Matsumoto Kiyochika's hand. "Can't you say something to congratulate me on my wedding day? Like, what do you think of my wedding dress?"

Matsumoto Kiyochika silently turned around, looking somewhat embarrassed. He then turned back and gave a strange smile, "You look beautiful today, definitely not inferior to your mother."

"If you want to praise someone, just say it directly. I really don't understand why he's beating around the bush."

Sayuri Matsumoto took a sip of her lemon tea and complained.

"Were these the shy words of advice from your elderly father?"

Fujino watched Matsumoto Kiyochika leave and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Just then, another person arrived. He was a man, around twenty years old, wearing a dark blue suit and a white tie. He had medium-length brown hair, round-framed glasses, and was holding a bouquet of pink roses. He looked like a slutty, cheap woman.

Fujino recognized that slutty, shameless girl; she was Junji Umemiya, who used to be in his class and seemed to have been the student council president.

She is very popular, but she seems to have a sister complex. On the day of graduation, she even sang a farewell song to her teacher, Sayuri Matsumoto, in front of everyone.

It's so awkward.

"Teacher, you are still as charming and beautiful as ever."

Junji Umemiya walked up to Sayuri and gave her the pink roses he was holding.

"What beautiful roses."

Sayuri placed another can of lemon tea on the table, took the flowers, and thanked her, saying, "Thank you so much, Ume-miya-kun."

"No, no..."

Mei Gong Sa Sa flicked her hair back and said, "Lemon tea really suits you best, Teacher."

"So you're still as arrogant as ever."

At this moment, Fujino, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but complain.

"Who are you..."

Junji Umemiya turned around, stared at Fujino for a long time in a daze, and then asked with a strange expression, "You're Fujino?"

"Ah, it's been so many years. I didn't expect you to recognize me at a glance."

Fujino waved slightly in greeting.

"How could I forget? After all, you're the man known as the 'Iceberg'..."

Coming to his senses, Junji Umemiya grinned slightly. "But now, it seems the iceberg has melted."

"We'll all be gathered together at the wedding later, so remember to come and join us."

After extending the invitation to Fujino, Junji Umemiya muttered to himself, "I really want to see what they'll think when they see your iceberg melt."

As he spoke, he picked up the lemon tea beside him, turned around and blew it for a while before handing it to Sayuri Matsumoto: "In short, although there are some regrets, I firmly believe that only I can bring true happiness to the teacher."

A pink bow was tied to the straw of the lemon tea that he returned.
