Fujino glanced quickly at the man's body.

His eyes stayed on the stainless steel kitchen knife.

The sunlight shining through the narrow window kept the tip of the knife shining with a dazzling silver light.

Fujino's hawkeye can clearly capture the man's swinging of the knife, and the combat insight is also triggered at the same time, predicting the man's next move.

He raised his left hand quickly, grabbed the wrist of the man's knife with his backhand, and turned it over vigorously.

"Click!"

The bones of the man's wrist snapped at the sound of a knife.

There was no time for the other party to react.

Fujino's right hand was quickly raised, and his bent arm was quickly smashed towards the man's face with his elbow, and then he hit the opponent's chest with a knee.

"Poof!"

The man spat out and fell backwards with a knee hit, and then was slammed to the ground by an over-the-shoulder throw by Fujino.

According to common sense, this series of attacks, the man should have fainted a long time ago.

But in a state of extreme excitement, he still let out a tireless cry in his throat, shouting excitedly like a beast:

"Butterflies! I want butterflies! My butterflies, how can I live without butterflies...... Gotta get it to that person! ”

The man seemed to be unaware of the pain and wanted to continue to get up and struggle.

Fujino's right foot stomped the man's shoulder, and his left hand pulled up hard.

"Click!"

The man's arm was forcibly removed by Fujino.

However, due to the effect of the drug, the man was still holding the kitchen knife tightly in his hand at this time.

Seeing this, Fujino kicked the man in the chest again.

After this heavy blow, the man gradually lost consciousness, and the knife slipped from his hand.

"Addicts."

Fujino stood up, his gaze unusually cold.

At first, he thought that the murderer should be the enemy of the deceased, and the murderer began to attack indiscriminately after opening the door and entering, and the wounds on the body were also disorganized, which was more like intentional homicide, or revenge, than a robber breaking into a house to kill.

However, he overlooked one point.

That is, the murderer is an addict...... The reason why they kill people is purely because they want to kill people.

…………

Soon after, support from Wataru Takagi arrived at the scene.

When the murderer was taken to the hospital, he had already been beaten to the point of only one breath.

Multiple fractures of the ribs in the lower jaw, dislocation of the scapula, and severe contusion of the back......

At the same time, the police also detected the ingredients of illegal drugs in his blood.

However, fortunately, Fujino's counterattack was justified defense and did not need to bear any legal responsibility.

Soon, the police investigated the identity of the deceased and the murderer.

According to the police investigation, the murderer was the victim's boyfriend, who was idle all day long, was a jobless vagrant, and often committed violence against his family under the influence of alcohol.

It was because the victim couldn't bear the torture that he moved out alone and worked alone to raise his two children.

But even so, he will still come to the door and ask for money......

Just last night, the murderer came over again to ask for money, but this time, the two had a quarrel, and after taking drugs, the mentally disturbed murderer picked up a kitchen knife and killed the victim.

…………

The heavy snow gradually drifted away, and a cordon was set up near the scene of the crime, surrounded by people living nearby.

"Mom's ......"

Xiao Yi stood in front of the window outside the kitchen, holding the panda backpack in his arms, and the blood-colored handprints were particularly conspicuous.

Her clear eyes blinked, staring at the narrow window, confused, and overwhelmed.

“………”

Fujino stood outside the alley.

He stared at the scene before him and remained silent.

"You've done a great job."

At this time, Hiratsuka walked over from behind.

A smile rose at the corner of her mouth, and she comforted: "If you hadn't found her brother, I'm afraid she would be alone in this world in the future." ”

"But you're wrong about one thing."

Fujino shook his head, turned around and still looked calm, "It should be his mother who saved him." ”

"Okay, don't think about it so much, I know a really nice ramen shop......"

She lit a cigarette, patted Fujino on the shoulder, and said heroically, "Although the boy still owes me so many meals of ramen, this time I have a treat!" ”

"I'll ask for it this time."

"Huh?"

Hiratsuka was stunned and said with a smile: "This is what you said, you can't go back!" ”

Fujino took a deep breath and looked up at the sky, "Of course not, after all, I owe you a lot of favors before...... It's time to pay it back. ”

Snowflakes drift down from the sky, and cumulus clouds obscure the sun.

Fujino's figure is obscured by darkness, half black, half white.

…………

The intersection of 4-chome.

The streets are covered with a layer of snow.

The three little ones walked in front of the joyful snowball fight, while Gray Plains and Conan followed silently.

On the way, Gray Yuan Wai has been absentmindedly recalling the nightmare of last night.

"This is not the place I should stay."

Conan mimicked Gray Hara's tone, "If you don't want to involve innocent people, you have to get out of here quickly...... Something, that's what you should think, right? ”

“…………”

Gray Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned his head to look at Conan speechlessly.

Although that's what she really thinks in her heart.

"Don't worry, normal people won't believe these things when they are drugged and shrunk, if you don't want to be exposed, just pretend to be a child."

Conan stood on his toes and said again, "And isn't there that guy Fujino, that guy is very strong, and he seems to have a bit of a friendship with the monster thief Kidd, if you have to do it, just tell him about us, and he should also help." ”

Gray Yuan Wai suddenly spoke: "You must not tell him." ”

"Huh?"

Conan was a little surprised, "Why not?" ”

Gray Yuan said coldly: "If you can't, you can't." ”

Conan took out the handful of melon seeds that Fujino gave him a while ago, and said, "You shouldn't have feelings for him, right?" ”

Gray Yuan Wai stared back coldly: "............"

Conan swallowed another melon seed: "Anyway, how old were you before you got smaller?" ”

Gray Yuan Wai did not reply.

Just squinted his eyes slightly, and continued to stroll forward thoughtfully.

Until a street corner.

A few small ones left separately in the direction of their own home.

The black crow fluttered its wings across the snow and fluttered down on a telephone pole, dropping a few black feathers in the snow.

Gray Yuan Wai turned around, looked back, raised his head, and suddenly saw a black retro car.

She stared at the black car in front of her.

Feel the snowflakes around you gradually stop.

Time seems to stand still at this moment.

Her breathing became more and more rapid, and her whole body seemed to freeze in place.

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

Conan noticed the strange appearance of Gray Yuan's mourning, followed her gaze to look at the black car, and said with emotion: "It turned out to be a Porsche 356A, this kind of car is all antique, I didn't expect that there are still people driving it now." ”

"It's ......"

Gray Yuan opened his mouth, and barely squeezed a faint sound out of his throat: "This is...... Gin's car. ”
