Chapter 901 This Black Detective Doesn’t Look Like an Act
"Senior, have you found the photo?"Suzuki Sonoko saw Fujino coming down from upstairs and asked.
Come to think of it, she is actually quite afraid of ghosts...
It's just that his carefree personality conceals it.
Moreover, she is really afraid of but also interested in monsters and demons.
"The photo was not found, but the others were found."
Fujino came down from the ladder and took out a treasure bag from his pocket: "For example, gems or something."
"gem?!"
Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment when she looked at the dazzling gem in front of her.
Ran Mao Li beside him asked Fujino: "Senior, where did you get so many gems?"
Fujino: "..."
How did I do that… Good question!
Fujino coughed lightly and said in Osaka dialect: "This is what I picked up!"
"......?" Everyone's eyes widened.
Seeing everyone silent, Fujino smiled and explained seriously: "Well, I just went upstairs and looked through two boxes, and then I found it."
Conan: "..."
Who would believe that… How could any normal person find a bunch of gems by just flipping through two boxes?
Is Fujino a normal person?
It doesn’t seem to be here... Then it’s okay.
Conan complained silently in his mind. Suddenly, he seemed to notice something blind and asked Fujino, "By the way... could this be the jewelry that the robbers in the jewelry store robbed?"
"Hyouka!"
Fujino snapped his fingers: "Conan, you noticed the blind spot, but it's a pity there is no reward."
"......?" Conan was stunned for a moment, feeling a little resentful: Damn it, why don't you reward me? !
"that……"
Ooka Hongye weakly asked at this time: "But why is the robber Jewel here?"
Fujino knew that Hongye had not encountered many cases and seemed to be still not used to it, so he patiently explained: "This is actually very simple if you think about it. It's probably that the jewelry appraiser and Nagakura Eiji robbed a jewelry store together. After that, the two of them hid the jewelry in the abandoned old house of their childhood sweethearts in order to avoid the limelight."
"After all, you can't carry all the jewels you robbed with you, right?"
"So that's it..."
Hongye nodded in understanding after hearing this, and then wrote and drew on the little notebook in her mind "Strategies for a Qualified Detective Bride", carefully memorizing it, preparing to carefully copy it down into her little notebook in reality when she has time.
"So, Brother Fujino couldn't have discovered these gems a long time ago, right?"
At this time, Conan suddenly mentioned something. Fujino looked over and saw Conan looking at him with a curious look like a child.
Fujino was speechless about Conan's behavior of asking everything: "How could I know? I just thought there would be clues here. Who knew I would pick up a gem... But now that I think about it, my intuition is pretty accurate!"
"..." Conan showed dead fish eyes: Look at my eyes, do you think I will believe your nonsense?
I don't believe you at all, you old man are so evil!
"So, what should we do with these gems? Should we hand them over to the police?"
As a law-abiding citizen of Japan, Xiaolan cannot be said to have complied with the law in handling the gems, but she should be given the title of "Three Good Youth".
“I think it’s a shame to hand it over to the police.”
Fujino groaned for a moment, then pretended to look at the others seriously: "How about we just divide the gems and run away with the bucket?"
"Eh?"
Xiaolan was stunned for a moment: "But...but..."
"Okay!"
Sonoko, who was standing by, smiled and patted Xiaolan on the shoulder: "Can't you tell that Senior Fujino is joking?"
Hearing this, Xiaolan looked at Fujino and said with some resentment: "Senior Fujino, why are you and Sonoko playing tricks on me?"
"Just kidding."
Fujino smiled, then said, "But it's not really a joke. It's half true and half false. At least it's true that I won't hand it over to the police."
Xiaolan asked in confusion: "But if we don't hand them over to the police, what should we do with these gems?"
"Of course, we just sit back and wait..."
Fujino weighed the gem in his hand and said, "We have only found the gem now. Although we have found it, the real culprit behind it has not been found. If the real culprit is not found in such a case, more gems will be stolen."
He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I have a plan that can solve this problem once and for all..."
…………
The sun sets and time gradually deepens into the night.
In the homestay where the group lived, a black figure quietly climbed up the stairs and came to the attic on the top floor.
The figure was slightly hunched and looked like a middle-aged man.
With the help of the faint light coming in from the window, his face was clearly illuminated.
If someone knows this person here, they can tell at a glance that this is the middle-aged man, Sakaki Shokichi, who stood up for the two girls in the tour group that had a conflict with the middle-aged man after arriving in the village.
On the surface, Sakaki Shokichi is a jewelry appraiser, but secretly he is the mastermind of a series of jewelry thefts. And because he is a jewelry thief, he can appraise jewelry, which can be regarded as a kind of professional interconnectedness...
Not long ago, he hid his identity and joined a jewelry store. He also threatened a young man named Nagakura Eiji to rob the jewelry store together. However, Nagakura Eiji was only responsible for keeping watch and assisting. After all, since they were robbing a jewelry store, he was afraid that the young man would turn against him and steal the jewelry.
Fortunately, the robbery went smoothly, and he escaped with Eiji Nagakura and hid nearby to avoid the spotlight.
Originally, it should be like this.
However, as a serial jewel thief, he had a clever trick to avoid being caught and noticed by the police - leaving fingerprints of his accomplices at the crime scene, then killing them, keeping the jewels for himself, and putting all the blame on his accomplices.
This kind of thing happens all the time.
The stupid police never thought that he would play this trick.
I should say that I wouldn’t even think about it…
After all, their mission is to catch the robbers, so it doesn’t matter if the jewels are lost, as getting them back is not part of their job anyway.
Sakaki Shokichi came to the attic window and groped slowly.
Soon, he groped for a wooden box.
"found it……"
Sakaki Shokichi felt satisfied as he touched the box, and opened it excitedly.
He was already quite old, and although he was still a rising star in the criminal world, he had long since become increasingly incapable of stealing.
These gems were his last order before he called it a day and headed to Hawaii to spend his old age... Thinking of this, he opened several boxes and took out a treasure bag from them.
He weighed it in his hand twice, and soon his expression became strange.
"Strange, the weight is wrong, why do I feel like there are several gems missing?"
Sakaki Shokichi felt strange in his heart and murmured to himself.
As a professional robber, his professionalism is unquestionable.
Just by relying on the weight and slight changes, he was able to detect changes in the items he had stolen through his memory.
"That kid must have taken it away and hidden it away!"
Sakaki Shoukichi was annoyed for a moment, but he changed his mind and felt relieved: "Anyway, these things can be exchanged for a lot of money. Just hide them and treat them as money to buy his life. He actually believed what a robber said. What a fool."
After opening the bag and taking a look at the sparkling gems inside, Sakaki Shokichi felt particularly satisfied. Without thinking too much, he tied the prepared rope to the pillar of the attic, and then threw the other end of the rope downstairs.
Just when he was about to escape through the rope.
A voice suddenly came from behind.
"Mr. Sakaki, I didn't expect that at your age, you could still rob people. But you just took the gems like that. Are you planning to just walk away?"
"Nani?"
Sakaki Shokichi turned around and saw a figure wearing black pajamas and holding a wooden sword suddenly appear behind him.
"You are the culprit who robbed the jewelry store and killed Nagakura Eiji, right?"
Fujino walked forward two steps slowly, holding the wooden sword in his hand, looked at Sakaki Shokichi and said in a deep voice.
As he got closer, Sakaki Shokichi recognized who the person in front of him was.
It was the detective who called himself Fujino whom I met before...
Damn it, was I discovered by the detective?
Sakaki Shoukichi decided to play dumb and said nonchalantly: "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand."
Fujino picked up the wooden sword, pointed it at him and said coldly: "Old bastard, those gems are mine now, put them down quickly and leave here honestly. Don't force me to imitate the trick you used to murder Nagakura Eiji. I will just kick you down from here and kill you!"
"Damn it, how on earth did you know that?"
Sakaki Shokichi was stunned for a moment, then his face turned cold, and he changed his mind: "But as a detective, you actually play the game of thieves eating thieves, I really didn't expect it... But, as a detective, if you kill me, do you think you can stay out of it?"
"A high school detective happened to see a jewel robber in the flesh. The robber pulled out a knife and tried to kill the detective. In order to protect himself, the detective accidentally pushed the robber down the stairs and he died..."
Fujino muttered to himself, smiled slightly, and took out a dagger from his pocket: "I have already thought of an excuse to escape, and I have also prepared the dagger. I guarantee that there will be no fingerprints. I will leave your fingerprints when you die. I wonder what you think?"
"How can we repair..."
Sakaki Shokichi cursed in his heart and secretly sighed that he had met a tough guy.
This guy is a black detective... He is so skilled in framing others, this detective must have done this a lot before, right?
Damn, detectives can’t make money nowadays, so they have to compete with criminals for jobs?
"To be honest, I still don't want to do the same as you."
Fujino looked at him meaningfully and sneered: "In fact, if you die, it will be a trouble for me. But even if you die, I will just get a few less gems. Do you think about it carefully?"
"Do you think the police will believe me as a detective or you as a jewel robber?"
"We are all in the same business, can't we discuss it?"
Sakaki Shoukichi gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want? At most, I can follow the normal rules and give you half of the gemstone."
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
Fujino looked at him quietly: "Industry rules, do you think industry rules are useful? Industry rules are bullshit. Not only did you pretend to be a jewelry appraiser to rob, you also murdered your accomplices. I don't believe in someone like you who doesn't follow industry rules."
"I was just trying to protect myself."
Sakaki Shokichi said in a deep voice: "This is my style of doing things. If I don't get rid of him, then if he is caught, I will definitely be exposed. Although I concealed my identity when I disguised myself as an appraiser, he still knew me... In the final analysis, he is just a rag who owed me money and was temporarily pulled in by me and tied to a boat. A rag like him is not my accomplice."
After a pause, he continued, "I won't say more. Since you are like me, you should understand that I am doing all this just to protect myself. I am willing to hand over half of the gems. Isn't it good for us to win together?"
"From now on, you go your way and I go mine. We just don't offend each other. If I expose you, I'm done for. If you dare to catch me, you're also done for."
"Your proposal is good..."
Fujino took two steps forward slowly, put away the dagger, estimated the distance between himself and Sakaki Kurayoshi, and then looked at him with a smile: "So, you admit that you killed Nagakura Eiji, and you are the mastermind of the jewelry theft case, right?"
"...?"
Sakaki Shoukichi was stunned when he heard this, and was silent for a moment before he reacted: "You are kidding me!"
Realizing that he had been deceived, Sakaki Shokichi immediately became furious.
MD, are detectives so unethical nowadays?
He actually pretended to be a thief who wanted to rob his fellow thieves, to cheat and attack me, a veteran jewel theft expert in his 50s!
Is there still law and justice? Is there still justice?
But this detective is really good at playing the villain...
It doesn't even look like acting!
Although Sakaki Shokichi expressed his admiration for Fujino's acting skills in his heart, he still couldn't suppress his anger.
He fumbled in his pocket and pulled out a dagger.
then……
"boom!!!"
"Crack!"
A violent muffled sound suddenly rang out.
Immediately afterwards, Sakaki Kurayoshi felt a pain in his chest, his eyes went dark, and he flew backwards.
The old body smashed the window sill of the attic of the B&B, and the whole person fell down from the attic of the B&B which was more than six meters high.
"Tsk, I just realized I was played..."
Fujino put away the wooden sword, touched the frame of his glasses, backed up the recorded evidence, weighed the jewelry bag he had just snatched, and smacked his lips: "With this IQ, how can he be a jewelry thief?"
"Senior, has the person been subdued?"
At this time, Yuanzi's voice came from downstairs.
"Subdued!"
Fujino called out, and then Conan was the first to come up, followed by the others climbing up one after another.
After coming up, Conan first noticed the broken window sill.
It looks like a gap created by a humanoid creature.
He couldn't help but reveal his dead fish eyes.
In your family, beating someone down from the building is called "subduing"?
Fujino, do you have any misunderstandings about uniforms?
Are you going to kill the criminals?
Kill the criminal and then keep the gem for yourself, right?
