The unscientific detective in Conan

"sure."

Marudenjiro nodded, then took out a stack of envelopes from behind and handed it to Fujino, "I really want to thank you, Detective Fujino, for helping me investigate that bitch so quickly..."

Ding dong, ding dong!

At this time, the doorbell rang quickly again.

"You'd better hurry up and pick up the guests."

Fujino took the envelope and nodded, "Now my commission can be considered completed."

"If I have any entrustment next time, I will come back to you."

After saying that, Marudenjiro walked out of the room.

"I got half a million yen."

After Marudenjiro left, Fujino stretched himself and collected the money into the system space.

[Current balance: 1.3 million yen]

After taking a look at the system balance, Fujino opened the task interface:

[Detective Professional Mission: Antique House Murder Case

Mission goal: Solve the murder case of the antique collector by any means

Mission location: Marudenjiro’s house

Mission reward: five hundred thousand yen, fifty detective reputation points]

"It's time to recover the remaining 500,000 yen and 50 points of detective reputation."

Putting away his thoughts, Fujino took out a wooden knife from his sports shoulder bag, "Fifty points of detective reputation, my detective level will be improved by completing this single task..."

"Since I have paid back the money, can you return the knife to me?"

In a side room, Suwa Yuuji, wearing a black suit, was sitting on his knees in front of the table, staring at Marudenjiro who was counting money with a sinister look on his face.

"Ah, that knife?"

Marudenjiro put away the money and said lightly: "I have already sold that knife. Tsk, I can't sell it for much money at all."

"Anyway, the matter is over, the money from selling the knife can be treated as interest..."

Of course, he didn't sell the knife.

No matter how you say it, Kikuchiyo is a famous sword. As an antique collector, he can't put it down. How can he sell it?

That knife is now in his storage room.

Suwa Yuuji's eyes widened when he heard this, and his hands couldn't stop shaking.

In a daze, anger overwhelmed his reason. He picked up the decorative katana beside him and pulled out the scabbard.

Buzz!

There was a sound of metal rubbing against the scabbard.

But before he could wave, the door of the Japanese room was suddenly kicked open.

"That's it! Is your swordsmanship just for killing people?"

"Nani?!"

Suwa Yuji was surprised.

Looking back, he saw a young man kicking open the door, with the wooden knife in his hand pointing at him.

The glasses worn in front of the young man's eyes were even still shining with a cold white light.

Suwa Yuuji looked at Fujino and felt a surge of pressure in his heart.

"Brother Fujino, save me!"

At this time, Marudenjiro had crawled to the corner in embarrassment, asking for help from Fujino.

"The five hundred thousand protection fee for saving you will be calculated separately!"

"no problem!"

[The bodyguard effect has been activated]

Hearing the sound, Fujino turned on all system gains and rushed forward wearing a life-saving windbreaker.

He is a master!

Suwa Yuji looked at Fujino and made an evaluation in his mind.

Then he raised the katana in his hand and resisted the blow.

clang!

The two knives collided together, causing a burst of sparks.

The katana held by Suwa Yuuji was made of carbon steel. The moment it collided with Fujino's wooden sword, a dent was made.

"A wooden sword can actually have such an effect?!"

Suwa Yuji was surprised.

Then he quickly took a few steps back, looking at Fujino with a more serious look.

In his eyes, the style used by the young man in front of him was strange, and there seemed to be several different styles mixed in between the swings of the sword.

The only flaw is that there is no experience to speak of when wielding the sword.

It's like knowing how to use a sword but not being able to master it proficiently.

"In that case, let me try you!"

With that said, Suwa Yuuji rushed forward, the sword in his hand rushed forward in a strange way, and stabbed directly at Fujino's arm.

But just when the blade was not far from Fujino's arm, it deviated a little to the side, as if it had no intention of harming him.

Fujino also saw this guy's intention, raised the wooden sword he was holding tightly, and blocked it!

clang!

There was another crisp sound.

The two quickly changed their positions, and the swords they held tightly in their hands were in a stalemate, and they struck outside the courtyard.

"Did you stop just now?"

Fujino asked Suwa Yuuji in a deep voice, looking a little confused in his words.

The attacks just now completely avoided his vital points. Having mastered the knowledge of swordsmanship, he knew that the guy in front of him was keeping his hands on everything and had no intention of killing him.

"I just got carried away on impulse because Kikuchiyo was sold by him."

Suwa Yuuji narrowed his eyes, "You are right, my sword is not used to kill people."

"Now that you've calmed down...why don't you stop?"

"I want to see what your strength is... At such a young age, you can even fight with a seventh-level swordsman like me using a wooden sword, and you have such a deep understanding of the sword."

"Given time, a kendo genius like you will definitely become a famous kendo master in Neon."

At this time, he no longer had the idea of ​​killing Marudenjiro.

The attack just now was indeed over the top, but during the fight with Fujino, he also calmed down.

Now, he just wants to see how strong this young man is.

"Stop talking nonsense, we'll be in trouble when that old guy comes out later."

As he said that, Fujino glanced behind him with his peripheral vision: "Wait a minute and you will cooperate with me in a play to see if that old guy has sold your Kikuchiyo."

"How to act?"

"Just look at me and that's it."

The two of them were fighting and discussing countermeasures in low voices.

After a moment, Fujino broke away from the stalemate, took a few steps back, and came to Marudenjiro who was huddled in the room.

"Is your sword just for killing people?"

As he spoke, he winked.

"You're right, my swordsmanship is not for killing people, I just want to get Kikuchiyo back!"

Suwa Yuuji understood, raised the katana in his hand in a non-threatening way, and said fiercely: "This hateful guy actually sold our family's ancestral Kikuchiyo. Even if he dies, I will definitely make him pay with his life." !”

"Mr. Maru, this guy is difficult to deal with..."

Fujino pretended to be weak and murmured behind him, and then said seriously: "If he doesn't return to Kikuchiyo, both of us may die here today."

"how so……"

Marudenjiro swallowed.

He believed what Fujino said.

As a third-level swordsman, he naturally knows how terrifying Suwa Yuuji, a seventh-level swordsman, is.

Give Yuji Suwa a katana, and even three or five people might not be able to stop him...

If you want to kill a detective and a weakling in the third level of swordsmanship, it is not easy.

He gritted his teeth, became cruel, and shouted loudly: "Actually, I didn't sell Kikuchiyo! It's in my storage room now!"

"As long as you spare my life, I will return it to you!"
