Chapter 996: Ai: Humph, you big pig’s hoof!
Fujino's approach is took out a wooden sword and waved it around the violin, muttering in Chinese something like "Sword spirit, help me, slay all the demons and evil spirits, and destroy them all with the sword." Then he took out two knives and continued to wave them around the violin. Then, a puff of black smoke came out of the violin, and that was it.
Everyone looked at the black smoke coming out of the violin in surprise.
Shitara Renxi couldn't help but ask: "Master Fujino, these black smoke, could it be..."
"Yes, it was dirt, but I have removed it."
Fujino pretended to be tired and maintained an unfathomable expression.
After all, since you are a pretending master, you have to pretend to the end so that you won’t say that the so-called dirty things are illusions created by Sakura Fubuki.
However, it is obvious that everyone likes this.
I became more convinced of his identity as a wizard in addition to being a detective.
Then, he successfully got 20 million yen for free.
[System task detected: The cursed violin has been completed]
[Task Evaluation: The cursed violin was actually caused by human beings, and now, the revengeful person has completed his revenge... Perhaps for a righteous detective, turning a blind eye to shielding or even aiding and abetting evil is a sin, but hasn't the detective ever been a marginal walker wandering on the edge of gray?
As for whether the violin is really cursed...
This is not yet known.
However, even if there really is a curse, I believe it will disappear after the ritual you perform, right?
You have completed the objective of the mission.
System rewards: 1000 million yen, 1000 detective reputation points, 5 detective coins, 1000 free experience points]
[Current Summary:
Main occupation detective level 2: 4000|5000 (already broken through)
Japanese yen balance: 1 million
Detective Coins: 26]
As it was getting late, Fujino stayed at Shitara's house for one night. Lying on the bed in the guest room, he checked the rewards distributed at the end of the system task.
[System reminder: It is detected that you have just earned 20 million yen through fraud... Would you like to participate in the intermediate lottery? ]
"what?"
Fujino looked at the system prompt in front of him and showed the same expression as Zha Zha Hui: "Sister Tongzi, I warn you not to slander!"
"What do you mean by fraud? Don't think I don't know that what's behind this is a scam!"
“I call this fraud?”
"I'm trying to appease the victims' families and help them with psychological and spiritual treatment. What's wrong with charging them a little medical fee?"
"Look, are they not afraid at all now?"
[Will there be an intermediate lottery? ]
"Don't smoke!"
Fujino decisively refused and directly closed the system task and prompt interface in front of him.
This damn system, seeing that I made money from blackmail, it immediately started to blackmail me, right?
The money I got with great difficulty from people, but you’re targeting me before it’s even deposited into the system balance?
This operation is exactly the same as the e-commerce companies in the previous life who colluded with each other to obtain your search history and input method history, and then placed advertisements...
Is this still available?
If you dare to take advantage of my extra money for advertising today, I dare not even imagine what you will do tomorrow!
Fujino turned around, thought of the blue gift box he had obtained before, and opened the system warehouse again.
"I just rejected the dog system. Will the dog system retaliate against me?"
Fujino thought about it, then took out a lucky coin from his personal space and tossed it to give himself a BUFF.
[The lucky coin effect has been triggered! ]
[Cooling time: 168 hours]
Although this thing is useless to the system according to the system's description.
But you still have to stack BUFFs, what if the system brain-twitch works?
The main point is that it may not be useful, but it is definitely right to do it.
Fujino thought so in his mind and opened the blue gift box directly.
[The blue gift box has been opened]
【Congratulations on winning: Coin of Destiny (Blue)
Item Description: A counterfeit version of an unknown coin. The front side can give you six minutes of super luck (Note: comparable to the Son of Luck and the Unicorn, the Daughter of Heaven), while the reverse side will bring you six hours of negative luck (bad luck). Whether it is lucky or unlucky depends on your luck (Note: once a day)
Young man, let's take a gamble on fate. If you win, you will get super luck... If you lose, you may be hit head-on by a car the next second when you go out. 】
"..."
Fujino took out another coin and looked at the other coin in front of him that could affect luck, and was silent for a while.
After calming down, he couldn't help but complain: "What the hell is this? System, are you just trying to get revenge on me? Six hours of bad luck, six minutes of good luck, be careful that I will remotely control the explosion of the OPPO A5 I won in the primary lottery!"
[Tips: System rewards have no direct correlation with the basic interactions of the system, and have no right to determine the probability of you drawing items. They can only operate according to the basic rules recorded in the system program framework. ]
"Tsk..."
Fujino smacked his lips. He was no longer surprised by the dog system. It was like a submissive little wife who only knew how to do bad things behind the scenes. He had never seen rules or anything like that since he started the system.
Retracting his thoughts, he turned his attention to the other coin in front of him.
He already has a lucky coin, so this thing is a bit of a conflict.
But it’s not a big problem, let’s test the waters first.
How could a helicopter fall from the sky while I was lying in the room?
[The effect of the coin of destiny has been triggered! ]
[Congratulations, you have obtained negative luck entanglement. The countdown is five hours and fifty-nine minutes.]
[Destiny Coin Cooldown Time: 23·59·59]
"Crack!"
"Clap!"
Just as Fujino picked up the coin from the sheet in front of him, a sound of breaking and shattering was heard.
Then, he discovered that the bed board on which he was lying had cracked in the middle, and the lamp on the ceiling of the room had fallen down and shattered.
"Am I...so cruel?"
Fujino propped himself up, stood on both sides of the bed, glanced sideways at the bed board and the fallen lamp beneath him, and a drop of cold sweat flowed down his forehead.
This thing is kind of scary...
Not really, but scary.
If this is used on a plane and a negative BUFF is triggered, I'll probably have to take everyone with me to see the King of Hell, right?
Oh, that’s right!
Fujino's brain was working rapidly, and he immediately thought of the purpose of this thing - since it is a negative BUFF, it should have a certain range of influence, right?
The bed board was cracked, but the lamp also fell off...
That is to say, bad luck has a certain range.
From a certain perspective, this is also a good thing?
On the positive side, there is strong luck blessing, and on the negative side, there is also bad luck entangled.
Not only is he unlucky, but anyone who gets close to him will also be unlucky.
Whether it's positive or negative, it's a win!
…………
The next day, after the bad luck disappeared, Fujino returned to his home in Beika Town in the morning.
In the morning, Haibara Ai and Shimokasa Nana prepared breakfast, which consisted of vegetable rice porridge, grilled fish, and fried eggs.
All I can say is that under Ai's guidance, the Fujino family's meals are very healthy.
Of course, except for the usual oily Chinese food.
After all, Ai also loves to eat.
After breakfast, the Shimokasa sisters cleaned the table. Mingmei, who had zero cooking skills, helped to clean up. Haibara Ai naturally went to help as well. However, just as she came out of the kitchen, Fujino called her, "Ai, are you free tomorrow?"
"Hmm?" Huiyuan Ai wiped her wet hands with the apron in front of her and looked at him puzzledly: "Tomorrow, I have time. Is there anything special?"
"Actually, I have a commission for you." Fujino chuckled and said, "Maybe a writer has left a secret code and I need to crack it..."
"I understand." Haibara Ai nodded when she heard this, knowing that Fujino was not very good at secret codes.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be a secret code assistant.
She responded, then suddenly remembered something, and then asked Fujino suddenly, with a hint of resentment in her calm tone: "So, how was the commission from yesterday? Miss Shitara Renki is very beautiful, right?"
Fujino: "..."
Is this what it feels like to be a housekeeper?
Haibara Ai continued to wipe her wet hands and glanced at him.
There is indeed some resentment in my heart.
Yesterday, when it came to the commission for Renki Shitara, she secretly ran away alone and went to the person's house to do the commission, without even taking me with her.
Now that the code is about to be broken, you want to take me with you?
So why didn't you take me with you when you went to Shitara's house?
If you need them, bring them with you. If you don’t need them, don’t bring them with you…
Humph, you big pig's hoof!
"Ahem." Fujino felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. He coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "It's probably because there are so many dead in this family that we can't even play mahjong. Another one died yesterday."
Haibara Ai:"……"
Although I shouldn't be surprised, why am I not surprised at all?
It's all because of that kid Edogawa. Fujino is filled with death...
Xiao Ai felt helpless and continued to ask, "So, has the murderer been caught?"
"It's not a murder, it's just an accident."
"Oh?"
Haibara Ai was stunned for a moment, obviously a little surprised and curious.
This time, the death wasn't a murder or something?
This is not right...
"It's not a murder case if no one is arrested..."
Fujino added silently in his heart, and continued: "It's about the curse of the violin. One person dies every year. It's actually a coincidence. I conducted some psychological treatment with their family and completed the commission."
“Psychotherapy…I see.”
Huibara Ai narrowed her eyes slightly, and her heart suddenly became cheerful.
So the whole family was fooled, right?
Fujino saw that the topic had gone off track, so he changed the subject and returned to the main point: "So, are you going, Ai?"
"Hmm, let me think about it..." Haibara Ai first touched her chin, wondering in her heart whether she should agree to help this big pig's hoof.
After a brief moment of thought, she said, "The condition is that you go shopping with me after this."
"make a deal!"
Fujino agreed decisively, then stretched out his hand, smiled and joked: "How about we put a seal on it and make a deal that whoever breaks the contract will swallow a thousand needles or something?"
"Huh?" Huihara Ai showed a speechless expression: "That's something only children would do, right? You are a mature high school student, why are you still so childish?"
As she said this, she stretched out her hand helplessly: "I really can't do anything about you."
What we mean is that you have reached adulthood, haven't you?
This thing may be childish for primary school students, but can it still be called childish for adults?
Fujino complained in his heart, and put a handprint on the little hand, feeling satisfied.
With Xiaoai's help, we're safe now!
Huibara Ai: “…” Why does he look so satisfied?
You really want to touch my hand, right?
It turns out that she is a lolita complex.
Fujino: "..."
Why do I feel despised?
…………
After tying Ai up on the pirate ship, he vaguely mentioned to Xiaolan and Maori that he was going to attend a birthday party attended by all the writers and editors.
As a literary girl, Xiaolan took the bait immediately.
When Kogoro Maori heard that they were all famous writers, he naturally took the bait.
Just like that, Conan was forced to go to the birthday party.
Xiaolan is blessed with good luck by the unicorn, and Conan is the son of pure luck.
With the double insurance of Xiao Ai, it is now really stable!
Uh...but why does this lineup give me a feeling of death?
Anyway, the content of the commission is to break the code.
You didn't say people can't die, right?
…………
The next day, in front of Beihua Station.
"Kaori, why are you here too?"
Fujino came to the place where he had agreed to meet with Kinoshita Yuzo, and saw another figure from a distance, and couldn't help feeling puzzled.
Shinname Kaori greeted him and explained with a smile, "After all, I was the one who introduced this commission, so of course I have to go along. I just finished writing the 46th volume, so this time I can go to Karuizawa to relax."
Xiaolan was surprised at this time: "Is Shinmei Kaori... the daughter of Shinmei Rentaro, the author of the current Detective Sawamonji?!"
Following behind, Conan, who looked like he had lost all hope in life, was very excited: "Really!"
I'm so happy to see the author of my favorite book!
"Little brother, do you know me?" When Shinna Kaori saw Conan, there was a big sister smile on her face.
"Of course." Xiaolan chuckled and said, "This kid is a crazy fan of your detective novels. He will run over to buy a volume every time you release a new book."
Conan continued to ask: "Sister Niina, you just said that you have finished writing the 46th volume, is that true?! Only the 44th volume has been released so far!"
"That's normal." Niina Kaori said with a smile, "After all, we need to save some manuscripts for emergencies... Don't tell anyone about this!"
"Uh-huh!"
Conan spoke in a baby voice, looking like a well-behaved child. In his heart, he began to recall his father's usual appearance. He couldn't help but smacking his lips: Kudo Yusaku, look at him, and then look at how embarrassed you were when the editor was chasing you for your manuscripts. There is no comparison!
Fujino didn't know what Conan was thinking about when he brought Takashiko along. What he was thinking at this moment was, hadn't Shinna Kaori met them?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that he has never met her before. After all, she was intercepted by me. Now, it seems that this is really the first time that the Mori family and Shinna Kaori have met.
To be honest, the memories of his past life and his current experiences merged together, causing his memory to be a little confused.
