Chapter 1000: The author's death has nothing to do with my commission
"intuition……"Kinoshita Yuzo's eyelids twitched.
This detective...how could he announce someone's death so calmly?
Fujino turned around and looked at Kinoshita Yuzo, who had a complicated expression on his face. He walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder: "Let me give you a piece of advice. If you are a dog of the company, don't think that everyone is a dog of the company. If you kneel down when someone asks you to, then the next time someone asks you to eat shit, will you eat shit?"
"But..." Kinoshita Yuzo hesitated and struggled.
He did understand that Fujino was criticizing his behavior just now.
But for him, he really can't lose this job.
If you get fired, you're completely finished.
It was natural that Fujino had concerns about this person.
After all, reality is not a happy story, and there are many things to consider. What's more, in Japan's workplace environment where people are treated like office workers, kneeling down means nothing, and eating shit is really possible!
But is this really the case?
Fujino didn't pause, walked by his side, and continued: "If you eat dog shit, will others really calm down?"
"I'm a detective, you're an employee, we're all clients. You're not the only client of mine, and they're not the only editorial company. They have competitors, and I have competitors too. You can just replace me. I have other clients, so don't they have competitors? Can't you just switch jobs?"
As he spoke, his footsteps paused slightly: "It is indeed difficult to live in this fucked-up society, but knowing how to advance and retreat does not mean giving in blindly. Conscience can be sold for money, but if dignity is sold, you will become a dog that everyone can kick... People should always have some dignity in life, right?"
Kinoshita Yuzo was slightly stunned when he heard this.
Revealing an indescribable expression.
…………
The dinner was interrupted by an untimely rain shower, and everyone had to return to their respective rooms to rest and shelter from the rain. On their way back, they were still discussing the incident in which the host of the banquet was thrown to the ground by someone over his shoulder.
When Maori Kogoro heard about his daughter, he was immediately furious: "This damn old man, if I meet him again, I will definitely teach him a lesson!"
Mao Lilan lowered her head, looking unhappy, like a little girl who had done something wrong and felt guilty: "Fujino-senpai's request..."
"It looks like a failure." Shinname Kaori sighed, "But it's not your fault, Miss Xiaolan. That lecherous old man really went too far. If it weren't for Mr. Fujino, I'm afraid little brother Conan would have been hurt."
Mao Lilan nodded in agreement: "Thanks to Fujino-senpai."
"It's okay. I just don't like that old man."
Fujino waved his hand lightly, looking nonchalant. "Besides, that guy probably won't live long enough for me to complete the commission. In fact, this commission has failed from the beginning. The author is dead, so the copyright is gone, right?"
"what?"
Mao Li Ran, Niina Kaori, and Mao Li Kogoro all looked confused.
Conan and Haibara Ai were no longer surprised by Fujino's frequent announcements of people's death.
"Indeed." Huihara Ai crossed her arms calmly across her chest, as if she was agreeing to comfort Xiaolan, and smiled, "And Fujino's predictions in this regard have always been very accurate. People like this will die very easily. If they were in a TV series, they would definitely not survive more than one episode."
Conan nodded in agreement with his hands in his pockets.
Although he was a materialist and a scientist and didn't believe in the language and intuition of young people, this time, he really hoped that Fujino's words were true.
Damn this old Deng!
Fujino took notice of Haibara Ai and Conan.
Seeing Conan's expression and demeanor, the small stone hanging in my heart finally fell to the ground.
Well, this guy definitely won't survive tonight. It seems that we have to find the original manuscript of the novel before he dies.
Well, the author is dead, but his commission was signed with someone else's company.
Even if he gets the floppy disk containing the original manuscript, the money will still be his!
Even if people die, you can still make money!
After thinking for a while, he said, "But speaking of it, the code this time is really a bit complicated."
Maori Kogoro looked at Fujino at this time: "Brother Fujino, do you know the meaning of that code?"
"It was Ai and Conan who told me that."
Fujino nodded slightly and said, "He said he was going to find Omura, but after I found Omura, Omura told me to find Tokito, who then told me to find Katsura, and then Nonaka. It's been a long and winding journey, and I still haven't found Nonaka."
"Omura, Tokito, Katsura, Nonaka?"
Conan muttered in confusion after hearing this, and became interested in this code.
However, he suddenly thought of the fact that he had answered the secret code before...
He subconsciously looked at Huibara Ai.
After all, he didn't want to be retaliated by this little loli again because of answering the question quickly or something.
If he offends him again, he might not get the antidote anymore!
He didn't want to watch this little loli turn back into a beautiful girl and elope with Fujino, and then have to watch Xiaolan staring at his hands and crying and shedding tears of loneliness.
At this time, Haibara Ai was thinking.
But compared to Conan, her reasoning ability is still slightly inferior.
Although it was almost right, she was naturally smart and after thinking for a moment, she came up with the answer: "So that's how it is..."
Everyone was trying to figure out the meaning of the code. When they heard Huiyuan Ai speak, they all looked over. Xiaolan asked, "Xiao Ai, do you know the meaning of this code?"
"It's similar to the previous code..."
Haibara Ai explained the previous code, and then reasoned: "First, the first three, take the first character of their names, that is, Otoki Katsura and then Nonaka, their pronunciation is OO TOKI KATSURA NONAKA, NONAKA is pronounced as inside, which means that the first three are 'what - inside'."
After a pause, she explained, "OO TOKI KATSURA has no special meaning if read together, but if you take the pronunciation that appears repeatedly here, then it is OO TO KEA. The pronunciation of A is ah, but in English there is a pronunciation of ai. If it is replaced with I, then it is pronounced in Japanese as 'inside the big clock' (OOTOKEINONAKA)."
"Inside the big clock..."
Fujino listened to Haibara Ai's explanation and fell into deep thought.
He knew the Japanese 50-sound system, but he didn't think about it too much...
After all, his mother tongue is now Chinese, and after the synchronous memory, Japanese and Chinese have become his two mother tongues, and he can speak them directly when he calls them up in daily life.
To put it another way, who would think about pinyin when speaking?
Moreover, I and A have a special Japanese-English conversion.
I can only say, after going around in such a big circle, is this thing's brain circuit normal?
Knowing the answer, think about it and realize, oh, that’s really the case.
But if you don’t know, you will be really confused!
So the idea of secret codes is outrageous!
How do Ai and Conan think like this?
