Chapter 22: Ch.022 Reward: Sherlock Holmes Reasoning Hat
[~1400 Words]
Inside the car, Eri was taking deep breaths, trying to calm her racing heart.
A lingering numbness, a persistent tightness in her chest—the shock hasn't fully subsided for her. Her face was still flushed, a rosy glow left from the exhilarating race with him; it felt so amazing.
Unease prickled her skin; she couldn't shake the images of Takuya and Mori Kogoro from her mind.
When she thought of Takuya, she missed the warmth of his hand in hers and the electric feeling that had sparked between them.
Thinking of Mori Kogoro made her feel guilty.
However, the successful rescue of Ran Mouri brought a wave of relief that washed over Eri, gradually erasing the guilt that had burdened her.
None of this was her fault; a cruel twist of fate had led to this.
In contrast, she ensured Ran Mouri did not have three children consecutively for Takuya.
If you're gonna blame anyone, blame this stupid system. It's the garbage system's fault.
[Congratulations to the host on completing the task, earning rewards, and Enhancing your logical thinking!]
After receiving the reward, Eri felt a surge of clarity, her thoughts sharper and more focused.
With a thorough understanding of the various cases now firmly in her mind, Eri can now proceed to the court with a newfound confidence in her ability to provide a powerful defense for her client.
Despite receiving the reward, Eri felt a profound sense of loss, as this compensation was a cruel reminder of her stolen innocence.
If possible, she doesn't want to have a system and just wants to live an ordinary life.
Recovering from the shock, Eri floored the gas pedal and sped away from the police station.
[Congratulations, host! You've completed the mission and earned Sherlock Holmes' hat!]
[By donning a Sherlock Holmes hat, you can solve crimes with a 100% success rate. Your Mom can stop worrying about you making a fool of yourself.]
Fujiwara Takuya: "...(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻"
A 100% crime-solving rate is a such a great Reward. Even Shinichi Kudo might not solve every crime.
For a police officer, a 100% case clearance rate could mean a pay raise is within reach.
He can even replace Kudo Shinichi to become the savior of the Nippon police.
It's just that the system 's words are too hurtful. Who's being dumb? He's not an idiot.
Ding!
A text came through on Takuya's phone, so he opened it. Miwako wanted to know when Takuya would be there.
Then Takuya remembered: he'd forgotten all about the murder because he was busy seducing Eri.
Solving this case is your responsibility as a police officer.
Now, wearing his Sherlock Holmes hat, it's his time to shine; Kudo Shinichi is no longer necessary.
[I have just sent my aunt the child and will join you shortly.]
Leaving the Metropolitan Police Department in his supercar, Fujiwara quickly arrived at the crime scene.
"Inspector Megure, please forgive me, but I was just bothered by my aunt a moment ago."
His statement was accurate.
Eri's long, slender legs were wrapped tightly around Takuya's waist, her grip surprisingly strong at that time.
"It's all good, as long as the job gets done."
Megure trusted Takuya implicitly. He had confidence in Takuya's character and was favorably impressed by him.
Furthermore, he needn't have worried, as their ineffective police force was incapable of solving the major crime cases.
Takuya would have solved the case already if he could have. Unlike them, he also had no clues.
In the end, he remained reliant on Brother Kudo.
"Sorry for being late, Inspector Megure."
Shinichi rushed over. Hearing about the case, he ditched class and ran to help.
As the Nippon Police's hero, solving the case is his job.
What do you mean by ditching "class"?
He wants to help out the Japanese police, so of course he's skipping class.
"Brother Kudo, I'm counting on you today. "
Megure gave Shinichi a shoulder pat, totally shameless. Anyway, the Japanese police ain't much help.
" Inspector Megure, just leave it to me. Solving this case is no problem for me. "
Kudo Shinichi was really proud. He got a kick out of being worshipped.
Takuya calmly pulled out his Sherlock Holmes hat and put it on.
'Solving this case is no problem for me, Inspector Megure.' 'leave it to him from now on, Inspector Megure'. He's not happy with Shinichi at all, so what's there to brag about?
"Puchi ... Officer Fujiwara, I know you want to solve the case, but there's no need to wear a hat. " Miwako burst out laughing.
It's kinda embarrassing wearing a Sherlock Holmes hat as a cop.
The police collect the evidence, then detectives take over.
Inspector Megure, Takagi, and Chiba all gave awkward smiles.
Fortunately, Takuya was not wearing a police uniform. Wearing a police uniform and then this hat would have been hard to explain.
"To solve cases, police officers needs real skills, not just a hat."
Shinichi's eloquent lecture felt like a condemnation of Takuya from a position of authority.
Fujiwara Takuya: "..."
'It's over, Shinichi-teme, you are finished.'
He must strike down Kudo Shinichi. First, he will make it impossible for Kudo Shinichi to solve the case, and then he will make Kudo Yukiko give birth to a child for him.
"Inspector Megure, I've already noticed some suspicious details; for example, the corpse…"
As Fujiwara Takuya donned his hat, his mind was filled with many questions as his mind cleared and processed faster.
It deserves to be called a 100% crime-solving Hat. Unusual things instantly register with him; he never overlooks them.
For a moment, Shinichi Kudo was shocked.
The suspicious points Takuya mentioned were also noted by Shinichi. Takuya even found some suspicious points that he'd missed.
His words left Inspector Megure and the others speechless. Takuya's words were completely beyond their intellectual capacity.
Takuya's words were met with dumbfounded silence from Inspector Megure, Officer Sato, Takagi and Chiba.
Is this the same Takuya they know? Despite the difficulty in understanding him, his speech is clear and logical.
"Brother Kudo?"
Inspector Megure stared blankly at Shinichi. He figured Kudo Shinichi was his best bet, as he didn't understand anyway.
Inspector Megure, that officer is correct. Those are all suspicious points in this case. I'm impressed with how well the Metropolitan Police Department handled things. "
Shinichi acknowledged Takuya's skill, recognizing him as an excellent detective and policeman.
He finally encountered a worthy adversary.
Shinichi had previously operated alone in solving cases and apprehending murderers, but he has now found an equal.
" Brother Fujiwara, I didn't expect you to be so capable. I seriously misjudged you. No wonder you aced that police exam! "
Megure was thrilled; he had a real powerhouse on his team!
Shinichi's acknowledgement of Takuya highlights Takuya's talent as a detective.
Their Metropolitan Police Department is finally going to rise in prominence.
No one should ever again dare call the police useless. They're going to crack the case after case.
"Brother Fujiwara, who do you believe is responsible for this crime? Who is the murderer?" Inspector Megure inquired with impatience.
Takuya gave a dramatic eye roll. He was usually "Officer Fujiwara" to Megure, but in times of need, he became "Brother Fujiwara."
Shinichi was speechless as well.
In the past, when Inspector needed him, he would always call him "Brother Kudo".
Now that there is another excellent police officer, he, Kudo Shinichi is being ignored.
He'll be out of a work soon at this rate.
No, solving the case quickly was crucial—he couldn't be upstaged by Takuya.
[That's all for now]
