April 29, Fire Sunday.
Fujiwara Yuu arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department as usual, the dark circles under his eyes proving he hadn't been getting enough rest. The organization had sent Vermouth, a skilled disguiser, to Tokyo to investigate Kudo Shinichi and Miyano Shiho, and he'd been feeling a constant urge to observe his every move, leading to a decline in sleep quality.
Before entering the Metropolitan Police Department, he went to a nearby beverage shop to buy himself a cup of iced lemon tea to refresh himself. Drinking his favorite drink, his mood also improved a lot. But when he arrived at the office door, he heard the conversation between Mashiba Kenzo and Takagi Wataru coming from inside.
"This Kurokawa family is really unlucky. First, the head of the family was murdered, and then the entire villa was burned down. Tsk tsk, it turns out that doing bad things will bring retribution."
"It's quite a coincidence. No one was home when the villa burned down. I don't know if it was good luck or bad luck."
Fujiwara Yuu pushed the door open and walked in, sipping the iced lemon tea in his cup, and asked with interest:
"Are you talking about the case of Kurokawa Daisuke?"
He had heard Kudo talk about it before, it happened just a few days ago.
That day, Kogoro Mouri used his reasoning normally and solved the case independently without relying on Kudo. This also made Kudo, who took out the anesthetic watch, feel relieved. After all, he needs to keep a low profile recently and it is better not to act as a "behind-the-scenes ghost" as much as possible.
"Inspector, you're here!" Takagi Wataru suddenly remembered something, opened the drawer, took out a letter and handed it to Takashi Sosuke, explaining, "Inspector, I saw your letter downstairs just now and brought it up for you."
"Thanks."
Fujiwara Yu took the letter and found the words "Moriya Teiji" written on the envelope. He was sure it was a name he had never heard of. Could it be a letter asking for help? He opened the envelope and looked at the contents. It turned out to be an invitation.
The first part was mostly praise, but then it got to the point, saying that I was invited to a tea party in the afternoon of April 29th.
Fujiwara Yuu stuffed the letter back unopened. He looked at Takagi Wataru beside him and asked:
"Takagi, do you know Moriya Teiji?"
"Teiji Moritani? He is a famous architectural designer in Japan. He completed the design of the Sumida Canal Bridge at the age of 34 and is very famous in the architectural world." Takagi Wataru, who is very good at this, answered after a brief recollection.
Kenzo Mashiba, who was sitting opposite him, smiled and joked, saying that Takagi Wataru was sometimes like a mobile encyclopedia. Of course, his best expertise was definitely the contemporary entertainment celebrities, as he could always accurately name the most popular music and idol singers.
After thinking for a moment, Fujiwara Yu decided not to attend this tea party attended by upper-class people. If Moritani Teiji asked him to discuss the case in front of the celebrities, he would probably be blocked by the celebrities if he refused.
He was too lazy to please those high and mighty people, so he planned to ignore this invitation.
However, just as he was about to get off work, Fujiwara Yu suddenly received a call from Edogawa Conan, asking him to go to Professor Agasa's house after get off work, saying that there was something very important to say and it must be said in person.
Something important? Could it be that Kudo has already discovered Vermouth?
Today happened to be a simple case. Fujiwara Yu put the sorted materials on Takagi Wataru's desk and said hurriedly:
"Takagi, I'll give you the next report. I have something urgent to do."
"Hmm? No problem, Inspector Takashi, take care."
Fujiwara Yu drove directly to Dr. Agasa's house in Beika-cho 2-chome. When he got out of the car, he did not forget to look around vigilantly to make sure that no one was following him. Then he did not take the usual route. He directly climbed over the wall and entered from the backyard. Under the gaze of someone who was reading a clothing magazine in the house, he climbed through the window like a thief and entered the house.
Huiyuan Ai yawned lazily, put down the magazine in her hand, put her hands on her waist and complained:
"Oh? Is this a bad habit of being an agent that you haven't corrected yet? Famous Agent."
Fujiwara Yuu's mouth twitched slightly, but now seemed not the time to chat. He quickly walked to Huihara Ai, squatted down and asked:
"Miyano, did something happen? Why did that Kudo guy ask me to come over right after get off work, saying it was urgent?"
"Oh, the urgent matter he mentioned is..."
"Brother Yingsi!
”
Edogawa Conan ran over from the living room and pounced directly on Toji Sosuke, like a koala. He deliberately made a cute expression, buried his head directly in Toji Sosuke's chest, and said something speechless while acting coquettishly:
"Brother Ying Si, please quickly persuade Huibara. I really need this temporary antidote. I really won't do anything rash. Let's just go to the movies. After the movie, I'll go with you guys obediently!"
In such a critical moment, he still wanted to transform into Kudo Shinichi and go to the movies? Does he think Vermouth, who is keeping a close eye on people related to Kudo, is blind, or does he think everyone in the organization is stupid?
Fujiwara Yu grabbed Edogawa Conan's fate by the scruff of the neck, frowned, and said in a serious tone:
"Kudo, do you know what you are talking about? Have you forgotten what you promised me a few days ago?"
"But...but Xiaolan is really looking forward to going to the movies with me, and I don't want to disappoint her!" Edogawa Conan knew that his request was excessive, but when he thought of Xiaolan's lost look, he would fall into endless self-blame.
Ai Huihara silently watched the two men confronting each other. As a developer of aptx4869, it was impossible for her not to feel guilty. She knew the drug had saved two lives, but the indelible guilt only grew with time.
