Chapter 97 Ekota, the boy who is afraid of fish [Updated version 3k released]

Early the next morning, the Fujino family bathroom.

Fujino stood in front of the bathtub, looking at the green seeds in the white bathtub, and said to himself: "Has it grown by 5% in just one night?"

At this time, on the system interface in front of him, the prompt of soul lotus growth was presented in front of him with a light screen: [Current soul lotus growth progress: 5%]

Turning around, he looked at Hun Lotus again.

Yesterday, there were only thumb-sized soul lotus seeds in the clear water in the bathtub.

After a night of growth, it has now grown into a soul lotus root the size of a palm.

Even vaguely, Hun Lotus's appearance has changed a lot.

The originally smooth seed embryo shell gradually evolved into limbs and a face. Although it was a little rough, it was indeed the shape of a little doll.

The scene in front of him reminded Fujino of the 2060s high-tech mobile phone in a domestic fantasy time-travel blockbuster in his previous life.

It’s just that Sha Niu is transparent, but this soul lotus root doll is green.

On top of Hun Lotus's head, a bud from yesterday gradually grew stronger and became an emerald green branch.

Gradually extending from the root of the branch, the top of the branch forms a bud that has not yet bloomed.

On both sides of the twigs of the lotus buds, there are three or two lotus leaves.

Those lotus leaves have not grown up yet, but there are pieces of emerald green leaves sprouting slightly.

Looking at the soul lotus root in the bathtub, Fujino couldn't help but twitch his chin.

In a daze, he had the illusion that he was playing a pet-raising game.

Putting away his thoughts, he took off the band-aid on the ring finger of his right hand and peeled off the blood scab that had just formed on the finger.

He stretched his hand to the top of the bathtub, pressed his middle finger and little finger, and bright red blood slowly dripped from his ring finger into the bathtub.

The clear water in the bathtub was slightly dyed crimson by the drop of blood.

Then a trace of mercerized light particles continued to condense in the crimson water, and slowly poured into the Dao Soul Lotus Root.

After absorbing today's blood, Hun Lotus felt a little naughty and excited.

He took out a band-aid from his pocket.

After Fujino re-bandaged his ring finger, he looked directly at the soul lotus root that was absorbing his own blood and couldn't help but frown.

He drew the seeds of the soul lotus root, and he also squeezed out the blood to feed the soul lotus root.

Good guy, why do you feel like you are both a father and a mother?

Then when the soul lotus root becomes bright and beautiful, wouldn’t it be necessary to call him...

In a blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

It was raining heavily on the streets of Shibuya, and pedestrians on the road were holding umbrellas.

Fujino stood in front of the traffic light with two young girls.

Raindrops kept hitting the umbrella cloth, making a crackling sound.

At the same time, there was a strong smell of rain in the air.

In fact, the smell of rain is not that strong at all.

It's just that Fujino seems a little sensitive now that his perception ability has been enhanced.

It seems that sometimes, having strong perception is also a kind of distress.

Next to her, Suzuki Sonoko was talking loudly and couldn't stop at all.

Xiaolan, on the other hand, stood aside and listened to the new topics that Suzuki Sonoko kept bringing up.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Fujino showed his dead eyes.

The reason why he is here all starts in the morning...

But then again, how long has it been?

Why hasn't Yuanzi's offensive been redirected to others?

If it were normal times, she would have found a new love long ago, right?

"Hey, have you ever heard of Phantom Thief 1412?"

While Fujino was thinking, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly turned around smartly.

"Is it that Phantom Thief 1412?"

Xiaolan showed a puzzled expression when she heard this, and expressed some confusion about the topic that Yuanzi suddenly mentioned.

"It should be Kaitou Kidd, right?"

At this time, Fujino, who had regained consciousness, spoke to the two of them.

"Kaitou Kidd?"

"Phantom Thief 1412 is the international crime code of Phantom Thief Kiddou."

Seeing that the confusion on Xiaolan's face was still there, Fujino immediately explained: "As for Kaitou Kid, it was a meme that a certain novelist casually wrote 1412 and was mistaken for KID. Later, this meme continued to spread, and Kaitou 1412 He was also called Kaitou Kidd (KID).”

"So that's it."

Xiaolan suddenly realized after hearing this, "Speaking of Fujino-senpai, do you know Kaitou Kidd very well?"

"If you know it, it doesn't really count. I just read newspapers all the time."

Fujino shook his head and chuckled with slightly narrowed eyes.

What's more, just understanding, he even knows the true identity of Kaitou Kidd.

As long as he wanted to, he could run to Ekoda High School and block a boy who was afraid of fish at any time.

Then he said this: Boy, you don’t want to be exposed for wearing a white cloak at night to commit crimes...

At this time, the green light in front of the crosswalk turned on.

Several people walked slowly across the zebra crossing towards the crosswalk on the other side.

"But then again, why doesn't Orchid, the daughter of a detective, even know about Kaitou Kid?"

Sonoko looked a little confused: "And Kaitou Kidd is very popular among young girls now."

"Come on, I don't like investigating crimes."

A resentful expression appeared on Xiaolan's face: "Just because my father is a detective doesn't mean that I am also a detective. How could I know that kind of thing?"

"Xiaolan, you really don't look like a young girl at all."

Yuanzi couldn't help but complain.

Fujino on the side also nodded silently.

The hero sees the same thing. From his point of view, Xiaolan does not look like a young and upright female high school student, but looks like a young woman who has been married for many years.

In fact, if you think about it, in Xiaolan's case, she really doesn't have much energy or time to become an ordinary female high school student.

There is a worrying father at home, and a childhood sweetheart who is basically incapable of taking care of himself.

Who has time to take care of those two big enemies all day long?

You know, before Kudo Shinichi became Conan, Xiaolan did most of the breakfast.

As for Kudo Shinichi... he will be lonely.

You can cut a cucumber into a nine-lock chain.

But having said that, most of the childhood sweethearts in Ke Xue’s world seem to be like this.

One is excellent at specialties, and the other is good at housework.

I really don’t know what kind of brain circuit the old thief Qingshan has.

"thump!"

At this time, the sound of an umbrella falling to the ground sounded.

Then, two female voices shouted.

"Shinichi!"

"Xiaolan, it's still a red light! Danger!"

Fujino put away his thoughts and looked up, and saw Sonoko desperately holding Xiaolan's arm.

Xiaolan seemed to have seen something, and rushed towards the crosswalk on the opposite side anxiously.

"Did something happen?"

Fujino asked confused when he saw this.

"Just now, I saw Shinichi and him following another girl..."

Xiaolan stared at the crosswalk opposite the zebra crossing with a lonely expression on her face.

The umbrella in her hand also fell to the ground, and the heavy rain fell on her.

Fujino turned his gaze to the direction Xiaolan was looking at.

Although he didn't see it at first glance, with the increased observation ability, he quickly spotted a boy who looked like Kudo Shinichi.

The boy was wearing a white top, jacket and khaki casual shorts, looking slutty.

Beside the boy, there was a girl who looked like Xiaolan.

The girl is wearing a light blue casual jacket and a plaid skirt. Judging from the temperament, she should be a lively high school girl, completely different from Xiaolan.

Kuroba Kaito?

Fujino recognized who that person was at a glance.

After handing his umbrella to Xiaolan, he chased after her.

"That hedgehog-headed boy over there!"

Kuroba Kaito: "?"

When Kuroba Kaito heard someone yelling at the hedgehog-headed boy, he immediately looked back.

Then, he saw a man wearing a black suit who appeared to be over twenty years old standing behind him.

Kuroba Kaito was stunned: "Uncle, you are..."

Fujino: “…………”

After a moment of silence, Fujino took a deep breath and said, "My name is Fujino Douji, and I am a detective."

"detective?"

"Are you the high school detective Fujino Douji?"

Before Kuroba Kaito could finish speaking, a girl who looked like Maori Ran interrupted him and spoke with a somewhat excited expression.

"High school detective Fujino..."

Fujino touched his nose and said, "It should be me."

High school detectives have always been the favorite topic of discussion among girls, except for Kaito Kidd.

Aoko was naturally extremely excited to see the detective she had been discussing with her own eyes.

After all, the next time she chats with her best friends, she will have the chance to talk about meeting a famous detective.

Kuroba Kaito, on the other hand, had a strange expression on his face.

What the hell is this high school student?

If you tell me that you are a social animal, I will believe you!

After complaining about the appearance of the detective in front of him, he asked Qingzi: "Qingzi, do you know this guy?"

"Of course I know you!"

Aoko nodded, but looked at Kuroba Kaito in confusion: "Kaito, don't you know high school detective Fujino?"

"How would I know such a thing..."

Kuroba Kaito scratched the back of his head and asked Fujino with a somewhat unhappy tone: "So, Mr. Detective, why did you come to see me?"

The reason why he was unhappy included the detective's suppression of the Phantom Thief's bloodline.

And there was the look of admiration on his childhood sweetheart's face.

"nothing."

Fujino just chuckled, "I just mistook you for a classmate who has been missing for a long time."

"Shinichi, where have you been all this time?"

At this time, Xiaolan rushed over.

After seeing Aoko next to Kaito, she frowned, "Who is this girl?"

"My name is Kuroba Kaito, not some Shinichi!"

Kuroba Kaito corrected with a stern face.

"Not Shinichi?"

Ran looked at Kuroba Kaito suspiciously.

After a while, she realized that she had indeed recognized the wrong person.

Although they look alike.

But Kudo Shinichi would never have such a prickly hair.

"Shinichi...are you talking about Kudo Shinichi?"

At this time, Qingzi on the side suddenly spoke up.

"You know him?"

Xiaolan nodded: "He and I are childhood sweethearts."

"Of course I know him. He is the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era."

The admiration on Aoko's face became even greater, and then she asked Xiaoran: "Does Kudo Shinichi really look like Kaito?"
