Chapter Summaries

After Ray Curtis confessed to the murder, Fujino reassured the others that Conan would recover from the shock. Fujino then picked up Sato and Takagi and chose an expensive hotel for the night, charging the stay to Osaka Headquarters’ reimbursement.

• Ray Curtis turned himself in, ending the murder case, and Hattori invited Ran, Kazuha, and Mori to stay at his family home.
• Fujino declined Hattori’s invitation because he planned to meet Sato and Takagi at Osaka Headquarters.
• Fujino picked up Takagi and Sato, and they discussed how often he encountered murder cases.
• Fujino chose a five-star hotel, claiming its security would protect them while they prepared to escort a drug trafficker.
• Fujino thanked Osaka Headquarters for the full reimbursement, while Sato suspected he was using safety as an excuse to spend public funds.

Fujino, Sato Miwako, and Takagi indulged in an extravagant Osaka stay before taking custody of Ogura Chizo and escorting him to Tokyo. Hattori Heizo was stunned by their 1,003,400-yen reimbursement claim, while Ogura Chizo tried to bribe the officers aboard the bullet train.

• Fujino booked luxury suites and an extravagant seafood and Wagyu dinner, and Sato Miwako and Takagi joined in after deciding Osaka Headquarters would cover the cost.
• The next day, Sato Miwako signed for Ogura Chizo and handcuffed him as Hattori Heizo formally transferred custody to the Tokyo delegation.
• Fujino handed Hattori Heizo a reimbursement form, and an Internal Affairs officer later told Hattori the claim totaled 1,003,400 yen.
• On the bullet train to Tokyo, Sato Miwako and Takagi teased Fujino about how much he had eaten, while Ogura Chizo wondered if they were crooked cops.
• Ogura Chizo offered the officers any amount of money if they would let him go.

Fujino and the officers continued escorting Ogura Chizo to Tokyo after he tried to bribe them and Fujino slapped him twice. Near the station, a fake bomb drew Sato and Fujino away from Takagi, and Fujino suspected it was meant to leave Takagi alone with the prisoner.

• Ogura Chizo offered Sato and Takagi 100 million each to let him go, and Fujino slapped him when he persisted.
• Fujino and Sato agreed Ogura’s wealth needed further investigation, while Ogura relied on his drug-trafficking organization to rescue him.
• A train attendant warned Sato that a bag labeled as containing a bomb had been found in the restroom.
• Fujino checked the bag and found an alarm clock and newspapers instead of explosives.
• Fujino warned Sato that the prank might have been designed to isolate Takagi with Ogura.

Fujino and Sato Miwako let Ogura Chizo’s accomplices make their move so they could catch them, while Takagi was left guarding the prisoner. Fujino stopped the rescue attempt and captured the accomplice, and Ogura agreed to confess as Sato warned Takagi about his mistake.

• Fujino stopped Sato Miwako from rushing back and proposed using Ogura Chizo as bait to catch his accomplices.
• Ogura pretended to stab himself with a fake knife, and Takagi left him alone in the restroom to seek help.
• A knit-cap man entered the restroom to free Ogura, then tried to stab him with a real knife.
• Fujino struck the knit-cap man with a Wooden Sword, and Sato Miwako arrested him.
• Ogura realized his accomplice had tried to kill him and agreed to confess, while Sato warned Takagi that his carelessness nearly cost them their jobs.

Fujino helped the police foil an attempt to assassinate Ogura Chizo, then wondered why he still had not received his consultant salary. At Snow King Ice City, Koizumi Akako paid him for a previous job and confronted him about being a magician, leaving Fujino unsure how much she knew.

• Fujino and Sato Miwako brought Ogura Chizo and his accomplice to Juzo Megure after stopping the accomplice from killing Ogura on the train.
• Juzo Megure reprimanded Takagi Wataru for letting Ogura go to the restroom and promised Fujino that their bonus would arrive with next month's salary.
• Fujino realized he had never received his consultant salary and blamed the Conan World.
• Back at Snow King Ice City, Fujino met Koizumi Akako, accepted twelve million yen for his previous work, and returned her bank card.
• Koizumi Akako called Fujino a magician and referred to him as the Child of Moonlight, but Fujino denied knowing what she meant.

Koizumi Akako revealed that divination had identified Fujino as the Child of Moonlight, and Fujino admitted to possessing an inheritance while asking about her magic. Koizumi Akako explained that purges had nearly wiped out magicians, leaving her possibly the last Red Magic inheritor, while Fujino wondered whether other inheritances had also vanished or gone into hiding.

• Koizumi Akako told Fujino that divination had revealed the Child of Moonlight and the phrases “Nothing is true, everything is permitted.”
• Fujino showed Koizumi Akako a coin from his Pocket Dimension, and she excitedly concluded that he was a magician with spatial magic.
• Fujino took Koizumi Akako upstairs to the detective agency, where she explained her divination and Red Magic.
• Koizumi Akako said historical purges had nearly wiped out magicians and that she might be the only remaining Red Magic inheritor.
• Fujino considered whether extraordinary inheritances had disappeared or concealed themselves from one another, and recalled that Koizumi Akako might be the only magic user in Conan World.

Fujino learned that Koizumi Akako believed he was her only kindred and suspected his abilities came from an ancient Assassin inheritance. After two days passed, Fujino joined the children on a beach trip to Izu, where Professor Agasa said he might soon leave on business.

• Koizumi Akako told Fujino that she had identified him as a fellow inheritor after seeing him deal with Spider, and Fujino blamed Kuroba Kaito for exposing him.
• Fujino described his abilities to Koizumi Akako, who recognized the possibility of an Assassin's legacy passed down through bloodlines and memories.
• Koizumi Akako promised to search for records about Fujino's inheritance, while Fujino agreed to let her investigate.
• Two days passed without news from Koizumi Akako, and the children invited Fujino to an Izu beach vacation funded by Professor Agasa.
• At the beach, Professor Agasa told Fujino he might leave on business and asked him to look after the children.

Professor Agasa told Fujino and Ai Haibara that he was leaving to test the game Cocoon, and Fujino recognized the project. At the beach, Fujino reunited with Ran and Sonoko, then cared for Ai when she showed signs of heatstroke.

• Professor Agasa explained that he would be away conducting final software tests on a large-scale game, and Fujino guessed it was Cocoon.
• Fujino reassured Professor Agasa that he would keep the confidential project secret.

• Fujino noticed that Ai Haibara was breathing unevenly and had a flushed face, and he suspected heatstroke.
• Fujino carried Ai Haibara to a beach chair, fetched an ice towel, and told her they were family.

Fujino recognized Aramaki Yoshichi as a likely murder victim from a past maritime case while spending the day at the beach with Ai Haibara and the others. Back at the Queen Hotel, the system upgrade finished and unlocked a host of new detective features, leaving Fujino surprisingly pleased.

• Sonoko and the children argued with beach patrol officers Shimojo Noboru and Yoshizawa Yuta after pushing a small boat into the water, while Aramaki Yoshichi insulted the officers.
• Yoshizawa confronted Aramaki about their planned meeting at Dongfeng Restaurant, and Fujino recognized the bald man as the likely target of a future murder case.
• Fujino told Ai Haibara that he sensed there was more to the men than met the eye, making Conan briefly feel a chill of murderous intent.
• Ai recovered from her heatstroke, and the group spent the afternoon at the beach before returning to the Queen Hotel.
• Fujino's system upgrade completed, unlocking System 2.0 features including detective tokens, revised tasks, and item and profession fusion.

After the system upgrade gave Fujino a permanent 500% attribute enhancement and new fusion features, he rejected an expensive token exchange and accepted a task that left the choice of how to handle Aramaki Yoshichi to him. That night, he found the bound man beneath a boat at the beach.

• Fujino examined the upgraded profession interface and discovered that Detective Enhancement now passively boosted all his attributes by 500%.
• He explored the new fusion functions and Detective Tokens, then canceled an exchange that would have cost 100 million yen.
• Fujino accepted the task concerning Aramaki Yoshichi, whose crime eight years earlier had gone unpunished, and noted that the system left the decision to him.
• After dark, Fujino went to the beach in an Assassin's Robe and found the bald, bearded man pinned beneath a boat, bound in fishing net and gagged.

Fujino rescued Aramaki Yoshichi from beneath a boat, then knocked him unconscious when Aramaki tried to lure him into a kidney-harvesting scam. At dinner, Ayumi embarrassed Ran and Sonoko by repeating Ai Haibara’s remarks about them, and Ai and Fujino arrived just as the conversation unfolded.

• Aramaki Yoshichi begged Fujino to lift the boat, and Fujino repeatedly dropped it on him before letting him crawl free.
• Aramaki Yoshichi pretended to offer Fujino a reward, but Fujino recognized his scam and knocked him out with his Wooden Sword.
• Fujino tossed a small boat into the sea and dragged Aramaki Yoshichi aboard it.
• At dinner, Ayumi told Ran that Ai had called her built for easy childbirth, prompting Ran to accuse Conan of teaching Ai such things.
• Ayumi said Ai had called Sonoko frivolous and noted her big forehead, while the children argued over what the phrase about easy childbirth meant.
• Ai Haibara and Fujino arrived at the dining-room doorway as the conversation continued.

Fujino, Ai Haibara, and their companions learned that Aramaki Yoshichi’s destructive fishing practices had gone unchecked, while Shimojo Noboru secretly expected Aramaki to be dead. A call from the supposedly drowned Aramaki’s phone revealed that someone named Xiao Hei had found his body and summoned Shimojo to the beach.

• Shimojo Noboru joined Fujino, Ai Haibara, Ran, and Sonoko at the restaurant and explained that he planned to confront Aramaki Yoshichi over his damaging fishing practices.
• Yoshizawa Yuta said the law against those practices was not enforced, and Fujino and Ai Haibara criticized Japan’s hypocrisy toward environmental protection.
• The group waited for Aramaki Yoshichi, while Shimojo Noboru concealed that he had drowned Aramaki and pinned him beneath a boat.
• Shimojo called Aramaki’s phone, but someone answered amid the sound of waves and identified himself as Xiao Hei.
• Xiao Hei told Shimojo that he had found Aramaki’s body and ordered him to come to the beach in ten minutes.
• Shimojo told Yoshizawa Yuta that they had to go to the beach to collect Aramaki Yoshichi’s body.

Conan learned that Ai Haibara's name appeared in the Mermaid Island registry alongside Kurosawa Jin and Uotsuka Saburo. He followed Fujino to the beach, where Xiao Hei arrived with Aramaki Yoshichi's corpse, and Shimojo Noboru revealed Aramaki's role in the deaths of their fathers.

• Conan told Ai Haibara he had seen Shiho Miyano's name in the Mermaid Island registry beside Kurosawa Jin and Uotsuka Saburo's names, and she reacted solemnly.
• Conan rushed out of the hotel, and Fujino followed with Shimojo Noboru and Yoshizawa while Ai Haibara stayed behind with the children.
• Conan and the others spotted a boat approaching the beach, and Xiao Hei arrived carrying a fishing net with Aramaki Yoshichi's corpse inside.
• Conan demanded to know why Aramaki had been killed, and Xiao Hei asked Shimojo Noboru to explain.
• Shimojo Noboru said Aramaki had helped cause the deaths of his father and Yoshizawa's father eight years earlier, then described how Aramaki had spoken of killing a companion at sea to commit a perfect crime.

Xiao Hei killed the man who had murdered Shimojo Noboru’s father, then escaped into the sea, sparking an argument with Conan over revenge and justice. After the case ended, Fujino reflected on the limits of law and detectives, while Conan vowed to catch Xiao Hei and Beika Batman.

• Shimojo Noboru thanked Xiao Hei for avenging his father, then Xiao Hei defended his actions against Conan before disappearing into the sea.
• Fujino considered Conan’s idealism and concluded that their views on justice differed.
• Yokomizo Sango collected the body, and Fujino and Conan gave their statements before returning to the hotel.
• The system rewarded Fujino for completing the task and raised his assassin profession to Advanced.
• Fujino told Conan that detectives were neither the law nor justice, and Conan swore to catch Xiao Hei and Beika Batman.

Fujino learned that the kendo tournament he had agreed to attend would begin in Osaka the day after tomorrow, and he met the club members and its new temporary advisor, Hiratsuka Shizuka. He discovered that many students planned to travel to watch him compete, leaving him puzzled by his unexpectedly high popularity.

• Fujino accepted two commissions after the system upgrade, bringing his total to seven Detective Coins, and decided to save them for a ten-coin lottery pull.

Fujino arrived at the Osaka kendo tournament and met Hattori Heiji, Toyama Kazuha, and Ooka Momiji. Ooka revealed she had booked a hotel as Fujino’s victory celebration, then considered removing Okita Soji from the competition, but Fujino stopped her so he could face him himself.

• Fujino and Aoyama Motoko met Hattori Heiji at the arena, where they discussed Okita Soji and the upcoming tournament.
• Toyama Kazuha arrived with Ooka Momiji, who said she had come to watch Fujino compete.
• Ooka revealed she had arranged a hotel room as a prize to celebrate Fujino winning the championship, leaving Fujino and the others startled.
• After realizing Fujino might have to beat Okita Soji to win, Ooka prepared to make a call to get him removed from the tournament.
• Fujino stopped Ooka because he wanted to test Okita Soji’s strength himself.

Fujino stopped Ooka Momiji from interfering in his kendo match, insisting that he needed to prove himself by defeating a worthy opponent fairly. He crushed his first opponent at the Kinki Kendo Tournament, while Momiji chose to trust him against Okita Soji.
