Chapter 33 A fleeting sight
"Fujino-senpai, can you still defuse bombs?"
Xiaolan stared at Fujino with an expression of disbelief.
"Ahem."
Fujino coughed slightly when he heard this.
After thinking for a moment, he scratched the back of his head and explained: "Well, after all, I am a full-time detective. As a full-time detective, it should be normal to be able to defuse bombs, right?"
After that, he quickly changed the topic and asked Xiaolan: "But speaking of Xiaolan, why do you want to go to Kyoto?"
"It's because of the wedding."
She chuckled softly and explained: "A friend of my father is getting married today, and the location is in Kyoto...and I have never been to Kyoto, so I wanted to come over and see it together."
Xiaolan did not continue to worry about Fujino's ability to defuse bombs.
From her point of view, it is very reasonable for detectives to master some strange skills.
Don't ask her how she knew, because that's how Shinichi is.
…………
Because of the damn bomb on the Shinkansen, Fujino was taken away by the Kyoto police for questioning.
However, after learning about his identity as a high school detective, the police from the Kyoto headquarters did not make it difficult for him.
According to their words: "High school students can't defuse bombs... What, you said you are a high school detective? That's fine."
High school students can't do it, but high school detectives can.
Very reasonable and very scientific!
As for Conan and Xiaolan... because they had nothing to do with the explosion, after getting off the bus, they went straight to the wedding of an acquaintance they were going to attend with Kogoro Moori...
And then there's the woman carrying the bomb.
After being thrown over the shoulder by Fujino, the woman did not wake up until the police arrived. She was carried away by the police on a stretcher and sent to the hospital. She will not be investigated until she regains consciousness.
The sun sets in front of the Kyoto Police Headquarters.
Fujino stood on the street, looking at the neon-filled streets around him, and murmured: "Is this Kyoto?"
But in a daze, he felt that the scene around him looked familiar.
It should be said that it is familiar yet strange.
It's like I've been here before.
No matter how much he recalled it, he couldn't recall the slightest memory of the original owner's visit to Kyoto.
Is it a sense of instant vision?
Fujino couldn't help but think so.
"Buzz!"
At this time, the roar of an engine interrupted his thoughts.
He raised his head and saw a white Rolls-Royce passing by.
Fujino recognized the model of the car speeding past in front of him at a glance.
It's an old white Rolls-Royce with a silver statuette on the front...
That car is worth at least a small building, or even more.
"Are all people in Kyoto so rich?"
As he spoke, Fujino showed his dead eyes.
…………
At the same time, inside the Rolls-Royce that just passed by at high speed.
In the car with luxurious interior, the girl sitting in the back seat leaned out and looked out the window, looking particularly fascinated.
The girl is beautiful, wearing a gray and white school uniform, with shoulder-length brown curly hair hanging naturally, and two red earrings on her ears and lips.
She didn't sit back in her seat until the familiar figure outside the car window disappeared without a trace.
At this time, the housekeeper suddenly raised his head and asked the girl sitting in the back row: "Miss, did you see someone familiar just now?"
"No, it just feels a bit familiar."
"Is it possible that he is an old friend I haven't seen for many years?"
"An old friend?"
Hearing the butler's guess, the girl groaned, with a bit of disappointment in her words: "Maybe I just recognized the wrong person."
As she spoke, she looked at the sunset outside the car window and chuckled absently: "My lover is in Tokyo..."
Night falls in a forest on the outskirts of Kyoto.
Fujino wore a Batman mask on his face and held an Okamoto mahogany knife in his hand. He followed the system's instructions and walked toward this deserted forest.
At this time, in his sight, a red dot was flashing not far away.
That red dot is exactly the location of "Kiichiro Numabuchi," the target of this system mission's bounty.
Continuing to follow the guidance of the system's red dot, Fujino pushed aside the bushes in front of him with his hands, and what came into view was an open space in the forest.
In the open space, a yellow tent was set up in the center, and there was still a faint glow coming from the fabric.
If the system guidance is correct, this should be the place where Kiichiro Numabuchi lives temporarily.
"who!"
At this time, the figure in the tent seemed to have noticed something moving in the forest.
After letting out a roar, he stood up, slashed the fabric of the tent with a sharp blade, and jumped out.
"The perception is quite strong..."
Fujino opened the bushes, and his figure emerged from it. He asked Kiichiro Numabuchi who was not far away in a deliberately lowered voice: "Are you Kiichiro Numabuchi?"
Staring at the figure not far away, Numabuchi Kiichiro remained silent, but the muscles all over his body tightened disobediently.
With the help of some moonlight, he could see the details of that person clearly.
It was a man of average build, wearing a black suit, a black mask on his face, and holding a samurai sword in his hand.
Vaguely, a sharp cold light emerged from the eyes behind the mask.
Damn it, it must be them!
They must be coming!
In a panic, Numabuchi Kiichiro clenched the dagger in his hand, and his thin body suddenly burst out with endless power.
He took a step forward and pounced toward Fujino as quickly as a cheetah, while shouting: "Go to hell, you bastards!"
[Detective enhancement has been started for the host; countdown 0-1-59]
[Power increase has been activated for the host; countdown 0-0-59]
[Perception increase has been started for the host; countdown 0-0-59]
The system voice sounded.
Facing the fierce attack of Numabuchi Kiichiro, Fujino remained calm and just slowly raised the wooden sword in his hand...
When there was still less than two meters away from Kiichiro Numabuchi, Fujino moved.
His body swayed slightly, the wooden sword in his hand was slightly tilted towards the right side of his waist, and he used his right hand to swing straight towards the dagger that Kiichiro Numabuchi was charging towards.
"clang!"
There was a metallic crunching sound.
The dagger collided with the wooden knife, making a sound of metal fatigue.
The huge force fed back to Numabuchi Kiichiro's hand, and the severe pain made his hands holding the dagger numb.
But he did not let go of the dagger in his hand.
Instead, he struggled to pull it out of the stalemate with the wooden sword.
Like a beast, he rolled behind him a few times before getting up again, and continued to look at Fujino with fierce eyes.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have thrown the dagger just after taking Fujino's blow.
But Numabuchi Kiichiro did not do this.
Because he knew that if the dagger was released, death would be waiting for him!
