Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"Well, what happened?"

Ai Haibara seemed to have made up her mind. She looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru and finally asked the question she had always wanted to ask—

Why do you never ask about my situation?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 80 What is supposed to come will always come

Since meeting Fujimaru Ritsuka, she has never taken the initiative to ask about her situation.

Especially on that rainy night when they met, a normal person would probably avoid her if they saw her.

But Fujimaru Ritsuka not only saved her, he never even asked her why she was wearing adult clothes, why she was alone on the street, or even her name.

It was in the restaurant just now that she took the initiative to tell Fujimaru Ritsuka the name Ai Haibara.

The same applies to what happened with Kudo just now.

If an ordinary person had discovered Kudo's actions, they probably would have revealed it long ago, and it wouldn't be impossible for them to use it to blackmail others.

But Fujimaru Ritsuka, unaware of anything, still agreed to keep the secret.

Therefore, she couldn't understand why the other party was able to go to such lengths.

"That's the problem."

On the other hand, Fujimaru Ritsuka was somewhat surprised by the question and didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

After pondering for a while, she replied:

"If I had to say why, it's probably because I can empathize with them."

"Eh?"

Looking at the somewhat puzzled Ai Haibara, she gave a playful smile and winked, saying:

"Because I myself have many secrets and hidden stories that I can't tell others."

Ai Haibara paused for a moment, puzzled, and asked:

"That's all?"

"Isn't that enough?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka countered with a question.

Is that enough? Just because we empathize?

Ai Haibara stared blankly at her, but Ritsuka Fujimaru's face showed an air of self-righteousness, indicating that she genuinely believed it.

This is really

Finally, Haibara sighed, but her expression became much more relaxed, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips.

She hesitated for a long time, only to find that the other person's thoughts were so simple, making her feel like she was the only one making a fool of herself.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka's answer made her even more certain of one thing—

This young lady named Fujimaru Ritsuka is just too naive!

I have a feeling that if I just leave them alone, they might be targeted by someone at any time.

It's really worrying.

Thinking of this, she sighed again.

"I'm telling you, don't."

She was about to say something to Fujimaru Ritsuka when an unremarkable passerby brushed past her, seemingly unremarkable.

However, the next moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly made her move.

She grabbed the other person's wrist and twisted it forcefully, causing the other person to cry out in pain and instinctively put their hands behind their back. Then she kicked the other person in the back of the knee, causing them to kneel on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Fujimaru Ritsuka had the other party under control!

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts so much! Be gentle!!"

"!!!"

The sudden turn of events stunned passersby, as well as Ai Haibara, who was standing next to Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had no idea what had happened.

It wasn't until the other person's pleading cry of pain jolted her awake that she hurriedly asked Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka replied:

"This guy is a thief. He tried to steal my things just now, but I caught him."

"Ai, please call the police."

"I see."

Ai Haibara quickly grasped the situation and took out her phone to call the police, but at the same time, she looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru with a strange expression.

Noticing the strange expression on her face, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked with some confusion:

"what happened?"

Ai Haibara spoke in a cryptic tone, her voice calm and understated:

"Is this the fourth time?"

"Forehead"

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka paused for a moment, then her expression also turned strange, and she fell silent.

Speaking of which, indeed.

But no way, right?

A short while later, the police car arrived.

When Fujimaru Ritsuka saw the figure stepping out of the police car, she was taken aback. The other person also showed a surprised expression the moment they saw her.

"Officer Megure?"

"Ritsuka?"

"It's you again?" ×2

"."

Their unanimous words caused a brief silence between them. Finally, Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke up with a sigh:

"Inspector Megure, I'm the victim."

"Yes, I understand. I'm sorry."

Megure Juzo had no choice but to apologize.

The theft was not his responsibility, but he happened to be nearby, so he came over anyway.

He originally thought that the incident of poisoning in the restaurant kitchen was over today.

But little did he know that it was only Mori's business, while Fujimaru Ritsuka was still waiting for him here.

He was also very troubled by this, because Fujimaru Ritsuka's situation was different from Mouri Kogoro's. Mouri Kogoro frequently encountered cases, while Fujimaru Ritsuka not only frequently encountered cases, but was also the victim of each case.

He could always complain about Kogoro Mouri whenever he saw him, but with Ritsuka Fujimaru, all he could do was apologize and sigh—

What bad luck for this kid.

"Alright. Let me explain the situation."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they got down to business, with Fujimaru Ritsuka giving Inspector Megure a general overview of the situation.

As the other person passed by her, he tried to steal the lapis lazuli bracelet she was wearing on her left wrist, but she noticed and immediately subdued him.

The case was very clear, and the lapis lazuli bracelet even had the other party's fingerprints on it. The evidence was complete, and Inspector Megure immediately ordered the police officers to put the criminal in the car.

However, there is still one issue that needs to be confirmed.

"Ritsuka, how much did you pay for this bracelet?"

After taking fingerprints from the lapis lazuli bracelet, Inspector Megure asked Fujimaru Ritsuka a question.

The punishment for theft will be adjusted according to the amount stolen and the value of the stolen property.

However, although Inspector Megure did not know the exact value of her bracelet, he could tell at a glance that it was definitely worth a lot.

Since he was caught red-handed, the perpetrator may only be convicted of attempted theft, but given the value of the stolen goods, he will likely face serious consequences.

However, when asked about Inspector Megure's question, she shook her head and said:

"I don't know. This bracelet was a gift from someone, and the person who gave it to me probably doesn't know its exact price either."

If you include the "Treasury of the Subject" that comes with the bracelet and the items inside, it can be said to be priceless; but if you only refer to the lapis lazuli bracelet itself, King Gilgamesh probably wouldn't care about the value of such a small item.

"That's it."

While inwardly marveling at the other party's wealth, as they so casually gifted such valuable jewelry, Inspector Megure offered a solution:

"Then let me take a few photos and have them authenticated when I get back."

"Ok, no problem."

"Crack, click, click."

After the operation, the police left again, and the streets returned to their usual appearance.

At this moment, Ai Haibara stared at her suspiciously and asked:

"A bracelet given to you by someone? Your boyfriend?"

"Ahem.!"

"Nah!"

Ai Haibara's shocking statement almost made her cough up a mouthful of blood. She frantically shook her head in denial, appearing quite resistant.

Although the other party treated her fairly well, no matter what, having a boyfriend who was young Gilgamesh as his boyfriend is too scary, isn't it?
