The Rational Detective in Detective Conan-Chapter 81: Doctor and Fighter

The next morning, Beika Town, Fujino's apartment.

A bright new day began, the darkness of the previous night seeming to dissipate.

Fujino stood in the dimly lit room, pinning another photograph onto the wall already covered in red string connections.

He took a spool of red thread from a nearby cabinet and connected the new photo to the others.

"Based on the current evidence, it's confirmed. The Organization was responsible for killing the original owner's parents a year ago."

Fujino stared impassively at the evidence wall.

"But why did the Organization kill the couple? Was it because of the Fujino Conglomerate?"

"The Fujino Conglomerate is bankrupt now. Logically, the matter should have ended... So why would they sacrifice a disposable peripheral member just to assassinate me now? Are they afraid I'll uncover the truth about that incident?"

"Something's not right."

Fujino's brow furrowed slightly.

"If they were afraid of me uncovering the truth, then after one failed assassination attempt, they shouldn't have just stopped."

"Knowing the Organization's style, they should be willing to blow up my entire building if necessary. Why fake an 'accident'?"

The connecting pieces of evidence swirled in his mind, making his head ache.

Fujino closed his eyes briefly, pinching the bridge of his nose. After a moment, a question arose:

"Are they afraid of something?"

"The Fujino Conglomerate is gone. What connection do I have now that could possibly threaten the Organization?"

Fujino stared at the clues on the wall, the puzzle deepening.

If the Organization truly was afraid of something, then they likely wouldn't make another move against him in the short term.

Of course, that was just speculation.

But if his guess was correct, then there were likely more unforeseen truths hidden behind these events.

Putting those thoughts aside, Fujino opened the system interface:

[Current Balance: 4,802,000 Yen]

"While I don't know if the Organization will try again, the priority right now is still strengthening myself, right?"

Fujino sighed, looking at his system balance, then opened the interface again, beginning a new round of gacha pulls.

Forty pulls!

[3,600,000 Yen Consumed.]

[Congratulations Host! Rewards Acquired: Purple Profession Card (Doctor),

Purple Profession Card (Fighter),

Water Gun with Auto-Headshot (Blue),

Batman Batarang x7 (Blue),

Golden Item Random Draw Fragment x12,

7-Inch Coffee Cake x1,

Women's Dress x1,

Curry Self-Heating Rice x3...]

"Two professions this time?"

Fujino stared at the two new profession cards he'd pulled, genuinely surprised.

He then opened the system's profession panel:

[New Sub-Class Added: Doctor (Rank: Basic | 0/100 Proficiency)]

Class Skills:

Basic Medical Knowledge (Mastery of fundamental medical knowledge)

White Angel (Basic: Increases effectiveness of basic medical treatment administered to others by 50%)

Heal Self, Heal Others (Basic: Increases Host's physical self-healing ability by 50%)

"White Angel, Heal Self, Heal Others..."

Fujino studied the Doctor skills, murmuring,

"So, two skill lines: one for enhancing healing others, one for enhancing myself?"

Just as the system described, the Doctor skills boosted both his self-recovery and his ability to treat others.

The self-healing ability was the most crucial for Fujino.

As the name implied, it enhanced his recovery rate.

This meant injuries that previously took Fujino ten days to heal would now only take about 6.5 days.

As for the ability to heal others...

While seemingly less important for him personally, it was still quite practical.

If he ever decided to become a doctor, healing patients in 6.5 days when others took 10... he'd be hailed as Beika's miracle doctor.

Hmm... Although, healing people too well, too quickly, might risk getting fired from a hospital.

Well, he wasn't planning on becoming a doctor anyway, so who cared?

Regarding the Basic Medical Knowledge skill, the information flooded his mind the moment he acquired it.

Just as described, it provided foundational knowledge across various medical fields.

Now, his mind contained a library of medical information he could access at will...

With his current basic medical knowledge, while he couldn't perform surgery immediately, he could certainly administer basic first aid and emergency care.

"But the Doctor profession... how do I gain proficiency points? Don't tell me I have to become a nurse... or actually practice medicine?"

Putting those thoughts aside with a sigh, Fujino turned his attention to the Fighter profession:

[New Sub-Class Added:]

Fighter (Rank: Basic | 0/100 Proficiency)]

Class Skills:

Basic Combat Knowledge (Mastery of fundamental fighting techniques)

Combat Expert (Basic: Increases Host's Strength by 20%)

Combat Sense (Basic: Increases Host's Perception by 20%)

"This time it's enhancing my own combat skills?"

Fujino examined the Fighter skills, stroking his chin.

This wasn't a temporary boost, but a permanent enhancement.

A true strengthening of his base abilities.

And just like the Doctor's basic knowledge, the fundamentals of combat expertise flowed into his mind.

Now, he possessed a considerable amount of fighting knowledge.

Information he could access and utilize freely.

Similar to how other professions gained proficiency, there was only one way for a Fighter to gain points.

Beating people up...

Compared to the Doctor profession, gaining Fighter proficiency seemed much more straightforward.

After examining the professions, Fujino looked at the only Blue item from this pull: [Water Gun with Auto-Headshot].

[Water Gun with Auto-Headshot: This water gun has an auto-headshot function, but only shoots water. (Note: No need to refill; water supply is infinite.)]

Infinite red rope, an infinitely pouring teapot, and now an infinitely spraying water gun.

Okay, Fujino was no longer surprised by these bizarre Blue items.

Ring ring!

Just then, his phone rang, startling him from his thoughts.

He pulled it out. An unfamiliar number.

"Excuse me, is this Detective Fujino?"

As soon as he answered, a stranger's voice came through the line.

Judging by the voice, likely a young man in his twenties.

Fujino didn't recognize the voice. He replied cautiously,

"Speaking. Who is this?"

"Hello, Detective Fujino. My name is Nakajima Hideaki, from Mantendo's game development department..."

Fujino frowned slightly.

"May I ask why you're calling, Nakajima-san?"

"Well, you see, our company is planning to develop a detective-themed game, and we were hoping you might be willing to come in and serve as a consultant..."
