Chapter 48 Luck won't save you from bad luck, and money won't change your fate. (shuhaige.net)



Fortunately, the murder was thwarted before it could be carried out, and since Mrs. Tsujimura turned herself in, she shouldn't be sentenced too harshly.

If the lawyer defends the case well, it's possible that the person might not end up in jail.

Mr. Tsujimura's situation would be quite troublesome.

His dismissal was inevitable.

If he had been swift enough in framing Kenji Yamashiro back then, and the subsequent investigation had yielded no results, he could at least have lived a peaceful old age.

His son, Takayoshi, and Mrs. Tsujimura's daughter, Sachiko, said they would leave together and live independent lives once their parents' affairs were settled.

Akemi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the last sentence.

"Fortunately, it wasn't the worst outcome," she said.

"But Brother Ye, this time it's really a bit risky."

She turned to look directly at Yoruichi from the distant mountains, her gaze filled with worry.

"If Mr. Akechi doesn't come to pick you up..."

"Of course I have ways to protect myself," Yoruichi Toyama replied with a grin. "It's just a matter of making a phone call to Mr. Kazami!"

The rescuer they planned to move was Kazami, but the method was taught to them by a certain Officer Furuya.

This can be said to have made full use of the inherent professional attributes of the Japanese police.

"You know that our confrontation took place in Mr. Tsujimura's study, right?"

Yoruichi Toyama explained.

"It would be very convenient to slip one of these books onto his bookshelf when he's not looking."

When Akemi looked at the book in Yoruichi Kiyoyama's hand, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"The Lasting War".

...

The following days returned to a temporary period of calm.

Conan underwent another secret biopsy at the hospital, which confirmed that there was nothing seriously wrong with his body as a child, and he was finally able to be discharged.

Anyway, primary and secondary schools in this world have holidays every few days, so he didn't miss many classes.

Heiji Hattori then repeatedly told Kogoro Mouri and Ran to inform him of any news about Shinichi Kudo before reluctantly returning to Osaka.

And this guy, I don't know where he got Yoruichi Toyama's number, he calls to harass her all the time.

In Fudoyama City, the Owl Cafe and the Black Cat Detective Agency are like two unfortunate brothers, with hardly any customers all day long, and only three staff members chatting and joking together.

Mr. Mao also occasionally skips work to continue his fishing spree.

In Yoruichi Toyama's words, they didn't catch a single fish, but they brought back quite a few sugar cakes.

A month passed in the blink of an eye as Taro and Pengzhisuke bickered and joked around in the shop.

It was an ordinary afternoon.

Mr. Mao went fishing.

This time, he confidently declared that he would catch salmon.

Yoruichi Toyama thought it would be more accurate to say he was salted ribbonfish.

Akemi Miyano was standing behind the bar, filling in for Mr. Shigeru.

Taro shared a plate of dried fish with Pengzhi.

When the door rang with a "ding," Yoruichi Toyama habitually turned around and greeted the door.

Welcome!

"What? The boss isn't here again!" After recognizing him, Kindaichi muttered as he entered, walked to the bar, sat down, and sprawled out like a spineless idiot.

"Oh, it's Hajime-chan, and Miyuki too." Akemi, who was already familiar with the two, smiled. "What would you like to drink today?"

"Iced coffee, please," Kindaichi replied with a sigh.

As Akemi agreed and asked, "What's wrong?", Miyuki also ordered her own lemonade.

Then, waving his hand apologetically to Akemi, he said, "It's alright, Miss Akemi, don't mind him!"

"Have you ever seen anyone in this world who's still in their second year of high school, and after school they don't go to tutoring classes, all they can think about is how to play mobile games?"

Akemi and Yoruichi Toyama couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yoruichi Toyama looked at the dejected Hajime-chan with an almost admiring gaze.

I just got a new smartphone a few days ago, and I'm already playing mobile games.

“However, Kindaichi-kun,” Yoruichi Toyama added, with a mischievous intent, “playing games also depends on talent; there’s no cure for being bad at it.”

"Who are you calling clumsy?!" Provoked by him, Kindaichi struggled to sit up and bared his teeth and claws.

"Damn it! Once I get the money to recharge, I'll do a hundred consecutive pulls first, then buy that set of high-level equipment, and I'll definitely..."

"Have you not heard that magic can't save the unlucky, and money can't change fate?" Yoruichi Toyama said coolly, then quickly dodged Hajime-chan's wildly waving arms.

It seems I'm gradually starting to appreciate the fun of teasing this kid, hmm.

Just as Taro and Pengzhi were watching the two people bickering in front of them with nothing to do, the shop door opened again.

"Ah, welcome!"

Even amidst her busy schedule, Yoruichi Toyama didn't forget to turn around and greet the guests with Akemi.

The newcomer seemed to pause for a moment, then burst into laughter when he saw Kindaichi and Miyuki in front of the bar.

"I heard from Kenmochi-san that you would be here. Kindaichi, you're still the same as always, full of energy!"

"Hey, Mr. Itsuki, hello there!"

Upon hearing Miyuki's address, Yoruichi Toyama was able to identify the middle-aged man.

Yosuke Itsuki, a freelance writer, is one of Kindaichi's old friends.

Ever since he met Hajime-chan during the previous Tragic Love Lake incident, it can be said that every time this person appears, it's to get Hajime-chan involved in the case.

From this perspective, it's not entirely accurate to say that Kindaichi's Grim Reaper-like constitution is the same as Conan's.

He should be considered a jinx, destined to bring misfortune to his friends.

Aside from these incidents, Kindaichi was at most responsible for half of them, with Akechi and Takato jointly handling the other half.
