Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 136 Fujimine Yukiko: It’s better to ruin your image among girls

"Huh?" Fujimine Yukiko widened her eyes when she heard this.

Well, you laughed at me before for only being able to kiss my face and asked me to drag Shuichi into a love hotel, which made me think you were very experienced... Turns out you're even more timid than me?

"You guys chat, I won't disturb you..." Takahashi Tomoka laughed dryly and quickly slipped away, leaving Fujimine Yukiko sulking there.

"Damn it! I trusted her so much before and even discussed many things with her..."

"It's normal for friends to brag," Lin Xiuyi said nonchalantly, "Kogoro brags to me every day that he's a playboy and a popular lover."

Fujimine Yukiko wasn't really angry to begin with, so after hearing this, she took the opportunity to back down: "By the way, how did you know that Tomoka was... that? And what about her and her boyfriend? Don't tell me you made all this up, that's impossible!"

"Of course it's not reasoning," Lin Xiuyi said with a smile, "Takahashi's boyfriend is on the Teitan baseball team, and Kogoro is his teammate."

"That guy Kogoro boasted about his popularity with women all the time, and Takahashi's boyfriend actually believed him and even asked him for advice on how to get close to his girlfriend. Kogoro later told me about this as a joke."

"It's that simple?" Fujimine Yukiko was surprised. "I thought..."

"Do you still think I'm psychic?" Lin Xiuyi glared at her angrily. "A lot of what those street psychic scammers say comes from the same source."

"How is this possible?" Fujimine Yukiko shook her head in disbelief. "Where did they get this information?"

"That's easy. Just bribe a few students," Lin Xiuyi explained. "Use them as insiders to spy on their classmates and spread the news that they're effective. It's just like a magic show; there's a shill."

"But what if they run into students they don't know about?" Fujimine Yukiko questioned. "Wouldn't they be exposed then?"

"They either make excuses not to answer questions, or simply give ambiguous answers," Lin Xiuyi said. "Some experienced scammers can even trick you into revealing information without you realizing it."

"If these guys really are psychics and have supernatural powers, they wouldn't be able to stay on the streets. They'd either be recruited by the government or locked up for research."

"That's right," Fujimine Yukiko nodded in sudden realization. "If they really were spirits, Inspector Samezaki and the others wouldn't even need you as a consultant. They would have already gone to a psychic medium to catch the criminal."

"So, you have to decide your own affairs. Don't ask those messy people for help," Lin Xiuyi warned. "Being cheated of money is a small matter, but being cheated of sex is a big loss."

"You've explained it so clearly, how could I possibly go looking for them!" Fujimine Yukiko nodded impatiently. "By the way, why are you back? Didn't you say you were going to the infirmary to sleep?"

"Why am I back?" Lin Xiuyi glared at the girl angrily. "I was lying in the infirmary when I heard two girls talking about me. Do you want to listen?"

"Of course I want to listen!" Fujimine Yukiko blinked and asked excitedly, "What did they say?"

Lin Xiuyi frowned and repeated everything he heard in the infirmary.

When Fujimine Yukiko heard the beginning, she hurriedly stood up and tried to run away, but in the end, Hayashi Shuichi forced her to sit on a stool and listen to the whole thing.

"I, I really didn't mean it," the girl said with an innocent look on her face. "I was seriously trying to persuade them not to confess so easily. Love isn't a game... Ouch!" Before she could finish her words, Lin Xiuyi knocked her on the head. "How could you use such a sarcastic tone to persuade people?"

Fujimine Yukiko lay on the table, her hands on her head, pouting and aggrieved, "Who told them to write such cheesy love letters? They're full of praise for you. When I read them, I got goosebumps all over the floor, and when I wrote back, I couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks..."

"Thanks to you, I got a good scolding from them," Lin Xiu said angrily, "If this gets out, won't my image among the girls be ruined?"

"It's just right that it's ruined," Yukiko Fujimine muttered softly.

"What did you say?" Lin Xiuyi emphasized his tone.

"I mean, you don't like those love letters anyway," Fujimine Yukiko said with a smile, "If your image is ruined, no girls will write to you in the future, which is not a good thing."

"Can this be a good thing?" Lin Xiuyi knocked the girl's head again. "I really don't like those love letters, but I can't ruin my image!"

"But I've already written the reply, and they've read it. What else can I do?" Fujimine Yukiko said, unfazed. "Do you want me to ask them to return the letter? And tell them, by the way, that the lover of your dreams didn't even bother to read your love letter?"

Lin Xiuyi was speechless after being confronted by her: "At worst, I can go get the letter back myself and explain it clearly at the same time!"

At this moment, Kisaki Eri happened to walk into the classroom. Fujimine Yukiko's eyes rolled and she immediately called out, "Glasses girl, Shuichi is going to find those girls who wrote him love letters!"

"Hmm?" Hibiki Eri immediately looked over with a sharp gaze, "Why are you looking for them?"

"Don't listen to her nonsense!" Lin Xiuyi quickly recounted all the bad things Fujimine Yukiko had done, "I just went there to explain things clearly..."

Before he finished speaking, Kisaki Eri nodded thoughtfully: "You can still do this. If I had known this, I would have replied in the same way when I was in junior high school."

"Hey!" Lin Xiuyi glared, "My image..."

"It's better that your image is ruined," Kisaki Eri glanced at Fujimine Yukiko, "It's a rare good thing you did, curly-haired fox."

"Tsk, I've done a lot of good things!" Yukiko Fujimine snorted.

It was hard to explain to these two girls. At this time, Maori Kogoro also came back, and Lin Xiuyi told him what happened.
"Kogoro, do you also think I should go and take the letter back and explain it clearly?"

"Yes," Maori Kogoro nodded.

"See, Kogoro is sensible," Maori Kogoro continued as soon as Lin Xiuyi finished speaking.
"What I'm saying is that Eri and Yukiko did the right thing."

"Huh?" Lin Xiuyi's face was full of disbelief. He even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears?

"Xueyi, if you sacrifice yourself, thousands of families will be happy," Maori Kogoro said sincerely, "Just like you said before, people can't eat what's in the bowl and look at what's in the pot. You have to leave some food for your brothers."
