Surviving This Year in the Conan World Means Victory

Seven years ago, timeline.

Fujiwara Yu was diligently searching for the Child of Destiny named "Edogawa Conan," believing that only by finding him could he gain permanent residency in...

Chapter 189,/.

Fujiwara Yuu returned to the office with his laptop in his arms, feeling mixed emotions. He hadn't expected that there was actually no such person as "Edogawa Conan" on the Metropolitan Police Department's system. He had no choice but to let Morofushi Kagemitsu use the organization to investigate.

I'm afraid that next time we meet, he will ask me why I want to investigate this person.

This is really troublesome. I have to think of a good excuse to get away with it.

When Yuji Hashimoto, who was sitting at his workstation, saw Sosuke Takagi come in, he directly printed out the data he had investigated and handed it to him. As usual, he was too lazy to speak.

Fujiwara Yu took the document and looked through it. He had to say that Hashimoto Yuji was very efficient. In less than ten minutes, he had already compiled all the information for him.

Fumika Maeda, female, 24 years old, works as a flight attendant at Haneda International Airport.

But in terms of social relations, Maeda Fumika does not have many friends. Apart from Hirata Hitomi, who lives under the same roof with her, she only interacts with her colleagues during working hours. Her colleagues also have a high opinion of her. She is kind and gentle and has no enemies.

Even her family relationships are very simple. Her parents died in a car accident five years ago. After losing her parents, she was no longer pessimistic, but lived a stronger life and became an optimistic, positive and independent woman.

Fujiwara Yu frowned and turned to the next piece of paper which contained information about Hirata Hitomi. After seeing "member of the girl idol group Pagirl", he realized that the identity of the other protagonist was not simple and that he was a person in the entertainment industry.

Hirata Hitomi, female, 25 years old, is a member of the girl idol group Pagirl, affiliated with Nichimera Entertainment Co., Ltd.

In the home address column, Maeda Fumika's address was clearly written, so it seemed that the information that the two lived together was correct.

"Hmm? Isn't this Hitomi-chan?"

Fujiwara Yu turned his head to look at Takagi Shigeru with a hint of suspicion in his eyes. He didn't understand how Takagi Shigeru knew so much about idols and other areas that he was not good at at all. Could this guy be an idol otaku?

Takagi Wataru didn't notice Takashi Sosuke's scrutiny. He pointed at Hirata Hitomi's ID photo and exclaimed:

"Her makeup skills are amazing! She always looks fair in all the photos she's taken in the group, but why is this a tan?"

"Takagi, are you familiar with her?" Fujiwara Yu raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I'm not very familiar with them. I just know the group, and she's not a popular member of the group."

Fujiwara Yu held his chin and thought for a while. He had originally planned to let Yin Dahang accompany him to investigate this case, but now he felt that Takagi Wataru, who was suspected to be an idol otaku, was more suitable.

He didn't continue wasting time in the office. He patted Gao Mushi's back and said calmly:

"Takagi, you and I will investigate this missing person case. The rest of you can continue with your work."

"yes!"

Maeda Fumika lived at 2-18 Torishi-cho, a single-family house near a commercial street. From the outside, it was not difficult to tell that the missing person's family was very well-off.

The two parked the car in front of the house, and Takagi Shigeru looked at his phone with a distressed look as there was no call coming in. He had clearly contacted the agent of the Pagirl group when he set out, so why hadn't he received a call back yet?

"Takagi, hasn't the person arrived yet?" Fujiwara Yu asked with a frown. You know, missing cases and kidnapping cases are of the same nature. The sooner the missing person is found, the better. Time is money.

"I called Hirata-san's agent, and I'll..."

Before Takagi Wataru could finish his words, he was startled by the frog mask that suddenly appeared on the car window. Fujiwara Yuu, who was standing next to him, was quick to grab the phone that was flying towards him.

He glanced at the slim, female figure wearing a frog mask, rolled down the car window, and asked:

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

"Aren't you looking for me? If you want to go in and investigate, please do it quickly. I don't want anyone to take a picture of me walking with the police, or people will misunderstand me!" Hirata Hitomi removed the frog mask on her face and quickly put it back on, saying impatiently.

What a terrible temper. Can such a person be an idol?

Fujiwara Yu handed the phone to Takagi Wataru and reminded him to get out of the car. Then the two of them successfully entered the house where Maeda Fumika and Hirata Hitomi lived together. However, after entering the entrance, the faces of both of them turned ugly.

The air was filled with the smell of rotting food. Among the several garbage bags piled up in the entrance, one had a hole in it, and brown liquid was seeping out, mixed with a few instant noodles.

There was a shoe cabinet at the entrance, but the shoes were placed in a crooked manner. After throwing the frog mask on the ground, Hirata Hitomi walked towards the living room in slippers with a natural look on her face.

“…So dirty.”

Fujiwara Yuu's disgusted complaints drew Hirata Hitomi's glance back. Seeing this, Takagi Wataru quickly said with a wry smile:

"Ms. Hirata, where are the slippers?"

"Can't you find it yourself?"

"Yes, we will find it ourselves." Takagi Shigeru was in tears. He didn't expect that Hirata Hitomi, who was known as "Sunflower" on the stage, would have such a personality in private. This difference really made him a little disillusioned.

After the two men walked into the living room, they realized that the entrance hall was just a novice level. The living room was so messy that someone who didn't know would think it was a place where robbers had just broken into and robbed it. It was so messy.

Fujiwara Yu calmly took out a mask from his pocket and did not forget to give one to Takagi Wataru who was pinching his nose. After putting on the mask, he naturally conducted an on-site inspection of all the things in the house to determine whether Maeda Fumika was missing at home.

The refrigerator was filled with alcohol and drinks, and the frozen area was full of instant food products, but what was strange was that there were so many pots and knives, and even the seasonings were from other countries.

This struck Fujiwara Yu as odd. Even if a poor student had a lot of stationery, they still needed ingredients to cook, right? And since there was already unused rice and two rice cookers at home, why was there so much instant rice crammed into the refrigerator?

He reopened the refrigerator to check the expiration date of the instant rice and found that this batch was produced the day before yesterday, which means... it was purchased after Maeda Fumika disappeared.

Fujiwara Yuu looked at Hirata Hitomi, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching TV, and asked:

"Ms. Hirata, can you cook?"

"Huh?" Hirata Hitomi glanced over unhappily, but since he was a handsome guy, her attitude softened a bit. "Come on, I'm an idol, okay? My skin is my weapon. Cooking might hurt my hands, so why would I do something so stupid?"

Is that really the case? Hirata Hitomi must have bought all these fast food and drinks. As Maeda Fumika's best friend, it seems she's not worried at all.

Or is she hoping that Maeda Fumika will never come back?

Thinking of this, Fujiwara Yuu was too lazy to beat around the bush. He had to clarify one thing. He deliberately sat next to Hirata Hitomi and said with a slight smile:

"Hirata-san, did Mr. Ozaki come to see you earlier? You said that Miss Maeda stole your boyfriend. Is that true?"
