Chapter 12 You have to call me uncle
With Fujino's intervention, the idol's blood staining time was successfully resolved in less than an hour.
The police eventually concluded that Fujie Akiyoshi had a crush on Okino Yoko and was frustrated, and finally committed suicide at Okino Yoko's house because of love and hatred, in an attempt to put the blame on Okino Yoko and closed the case.
Moreover, among the younger brothers who have no voice in the eyes of Thirteen, Fujino officially became his royal younger brother, or his younger brother for short.
As for Okino Yoko's commission fee... Although Fujino didn't find anything in her investigation, she still paid the balance willingly.
She knew clearly that if it hadn't been for Fujino today, I'm afraid she would have been blamed by the murderer.
What's more, Fujino did find the [culprit] who was following her.
As for whether it is the real culprit, I don’t know.
On the way home from the Metropolitan Police Department.
"What senior just said is so profound!"
Xiaolan clasped her hands behind her back with a faint smile on her face, "But having said that, if Yuanzi sees your heroic look just now, senior, I'm afraid she will become a nymphomaniac again."
Although she had just experienced a horrific suicide case, Xiaolan still looked cheerful and optimistic...
I don’t know if I am really so optimistic, or if I am hiding my inner emotions.
"Garden..."
Fujino held the cigarette in his mouth and took a deep breath, "You shouldn't be talking about the girl with short hair, right?"
"That's right."
Xiaolan nodded, and then said: "She seems to be very interested in senior."
"It's just the throbbing of adolescence."
Fujino put his hands into his trouser pockets and laughed as if he was mocking himself: "But at this age, it's okay to enjoy more precious youth."
I estimate that my age will not change for a while...
This science world is really scary.
Thinking of this, Fujino raised his head and looked up at the night sky.
It is cloudless tonight, and the stars in the sky are twinkling. In Kexue World, the night sky seems to be so clear every day.
The gleam of rice grains from the stars is reflected in Fujino’s dark pupils.
In the dark pupils, a touch of depth swallowed up the starlight.
Different from Xiaolan's liveliness, Fujino's face is full of vicissitudes of life.
It's like a social beast who has just finished working overtime and dragged his exhausted body back home.
Therefore, the people around him also acquiesced to his underage smoking behavior.
Even Xiaolan didn't notice this.
‘By the way, you’re just a high school student, right? Why do you look like you’ve been beaten by society?!’
Conan held Xiaolan's hand and looked at Fujino's vicissitudes of life. He couldn't help but feel speechless and complained.
"Gululu..."
At this time, a low groan sounded.
Fujino stopped and couldn't help but blush on his face while holding a cigarette.
"Senior, you probably haven't had dinner yet?"
Xiaolan turned her head when she heard the sound, hiding her face and smiling.
"Ahem..."
Fujino seemed to be choking on the cigarette. After coughing slightly, he scratched the back of his head and said: "It should be said that he hasn't eaten all day... I planned to eat it in the evening, but when I took it, I encountered a commission...
”
"How about coming to my house to eat?"
Xiaolan suggested, "That's right, I'm planning to go back and make dinner."
"Let's forget it..."
Fujino scratched his head in embarrassment and was about to refuse when a system prompt sounded in his ear: "Ding, a new student task has been detected!"
[Student professional tasks: enhance friendship with classmates
Mission goal: Go to a classmate’s home for dinner.
Mission reward: 100,000 yen
Mission location: Maori Detective Agency]
Fujino stared at the system tasks in front of him and couldn't help but shake his head.
What the hell?
Could it be that the unicorn appeared?
Xiaolan, it is indeed a big trouble.
If he gets too close to Xiaolan, a certain Southeast Asian jealous king will definitely not let him go.
By then, I guess it won’t be a problem to come to his house and queue up an episode.
Nothing happened to him, he can't die.
But his house can’t bear it!
A house worth 75 million yuan would immediately shrink by one-third if I die.
Keeping a certain distance from Xiaolan will not bring any advantage, but at least it can avoid some unnecessary trouble.
But just when Fujino was thinking about whether to accept the system task, a lonely voice came from in front of him: "Instead of eating that nutritious instant noodles, senior, wouldn't you rather eat the food I cooked?"
At this time, the cheerful and optimistic look on Xiaolan's face gradually faded, and there was still a sense of loneliness in her words.
As she said that, she raised her head, looked at Fujino and smiled bitterly: "Senior, do you hate me?
"No..."
Fujino frowned and looked at Xiaolan, his heart suddenly tightened.
You weren't cheerful just now, why did you suddenly become like this?
Fujino was thinking, not sure what happened.
All I know is that I rejected Xiaolan, and then Xiaolan looked lonely and sad...as if she had lost love.
In fact, it’s not like falling out of love. Compared to falling out of love, this kind of performance is more like a low self-esteem that I don’t seem to have done something right.
"Could it be..."
Fujino seemed to understand something, and then hurriedly explained: "After all, Xiaolan and I are not very familiar with each other. I invited a strange man home for dinner so late. I was afraid that there would be any misunderstanding... so I refused.
”
"So that's it."
When Xiaolan heard this, the loneliness on her face gradually disappeared.
It turns out that senior didn’t reject me because he hated me, but Cuncui just couldn’t let go?
Thinking of this, Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter. After all, Fujino-senpai, you are my neighbor. There is nothing strange about inviting your neighbor home for dinner..."
"Are you right, Conan?"
As she said this, Xiaolan asked Conan who was standing next to her.
Conan's mouth twitched, and he could only agree with Xiaolan against his will and said: "No...that's right!"
"Gululu..."
My stomach let out an unsatisfactory growl again.
Fujino could only scratch the back of his head and murmured to Xiaolan: "In that case, we may have to trouble the Maori family for dinner tonight..."
"It's okay!"
As she said this, Xiaolan's face showed a cheerful smile again.
Looking at Xiaolan who had regained her former gentleness, Fujino could only sigh slightly and slowly lit a cigarette again.
In Xiaolan's body, he felt a kind of suppressed and deep sadness.
The separation of her parents planted the seeds of inferiority in her heart. She was sensible and shouldered the burden of life at a young age. Her only spiritual sustenance was Kudo Shinichi, a childhood sweetheart...
However, the sudden disappearance of Kudo Shinichi finally caused the feelings she had suppressed in her heart to finally be released.
It can only be said that she has endured too many burdens at her age that she should not bear. The pressure in life and family pressure are all piled up on her alone.
