Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

'Thank you very much. Please give me your guidance.'

Celty expressed her gratitude to Ritsuka Fujimaru and the others for their willingness to help her find the head, but she did not have high expectations for the outcome.

After all, she had been looking for it for almost twenty years, but still hadn't found it, and there had been no useful clues so far.

Even with the help of Fujimaru Ritsuka and others, I think it would not be accomplished in a short period of time, right?

"It's ok."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled.

We have almost finished talking about the other party, but there is one more thing.

She said to Celti and Heiwajima Shizuo:

"Also, do you know about the rumor about the Ikebukuro slasher?"

"A killer?"

Heiwajima Shizuo pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry, I don't think I've heard of that."

Selti said:

'I saw someone say this online, but I didn't see it in person, so I don't really know.'

'Are you looking for that guy?'

"Not really, I just care more."

The only two targets they identified at the beginning were Celty and Heiwajima Shizuo.

As for the Ikebukuro Killer, according to Mashu, it was a rumor that had only recently begun to spread on the Internet. They had not had time to confirm the authenticity of the news, so it had not yet been included in the scope of their handling.

Today, they originally just wanted to investigate Celti's whereabouts, but they didn't expect that Shizuo Heiwajima actually knew Celti, nor did they expect things to develop so smoothly.

Back to the murderer, if he really exists, regardless of whether he is a person with mysterious abilities or not, Fujimaru Ritsuka feels that it is better to subdue such a dangerous person as soon as possible.

Hearing this, Heiwajima Shizuo nodded in understanding:

"I see. If there is any news about this, I will let you know in time."

Celty also echoed:

'Me too. ’

"Well, please."

After finishing discussing all the important matters, Celti was ready to leave, and Fujimaru Ritsuka was also ready to rest early because things were going well, so everyone went downstairs together.

As soon as he went downstairs, Ritsuka Fujimaru saw Mori's father and daughter and Conan downstairs, looking at Celty's motorcycle curiously.

"Ran, Conan, and Uncle Maori?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka greeted them and asked in confusion:

"What are you doing?"

"Ritsuka!"

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's figure, Mao Lilan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she happily came to her and said:

"Welcome back!"

"I just heard from Conan today that you're back from your business trip, and he said he'd make time to meet up with Sonoko to visit you in the next couple of days."

Fujimaru Ritsuka also smiled and said:

"I also wanted to visit your office."

The two girls smiled at each other, and then, in response to the question raised by Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mao Lilan looked back at Celty's motorcycle and said:

"We just found that the motorcycle seemed a little strange. It had no lights or license plates, and it didn't look like a real motorcycle."

Maori Kogoro on the side said indifferently:

"Maybe it's a model or something like that? It's a waste of money just looking at it. I might as well buy a real motorcycle."

Mao Lilan said helplessly:

"That's someone's hobby. It's two completely different things, right?"

Seeing them commenting on her motorcycle, Celti hesitated to speak, and finally hid silently behind the crowd, waiting for them to leave.

On the other side, Conan also felt that the motorcycle was a bit strange, but after seeing Ritsuka Fujimaru and his group and two strangers, he immediately understood something.

This isn't just any ordinary motorcycle, is it?

In any case, he didn't want to get involved, so he said to Mao Lilan:

"Um, Xiaolan-sister, Ritsuka-sister seems to be entertaining guests, so we should not disturb her, right?"

"what,"

After hearing Conan's words, Mao Lilan immediately noticed several unfamiliar figures, so she said embarrassedly:

"Sorry. In that case, why don't we contact each other later when we are free?"

"OK, all right."

Fujimaru Ritsuka agreed with a smile, waved goodbye to the three people, and watched them go upstairs and return to the office.

However, at this time, Celti said excitedly:

"Could that person just now be the [Sleeping Kogoro]? ! "

"Hey, Miss Celty, do you know him?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little surprised. Celty nodded vigorously and said:

"I've seen him on TV. He's a very famous detective nowadays!"

"Isn't it?"

Hearing this, Heiwajima Shizuo also showed a look of realization and echoed:

"I also think the name of this detective agency is somewhat familiar. Now that you mentioned it, I remembered that I also saw an interview with him on TV. I heard that he is a very good detective."

"Yes, it's him! It's said that he always falls asleep when solving a case...!"

Seeing Celti and Heiwajima Shizuo actively discussing the deeds of Mori Kogoro as if they had met a star, Fujimaru Ritsuka had a somewhat subtle expression.

Didn’t expect that Uncle Maori’s popularity has become so high?

Then, she turned her gaze to Celti's motorcycle, which she had to admit did look quite conspicuous.

And when she greeted Celti, she noticed that when the other party was driving a motorcycle, there was neither the roar of the engine nor the sound of the tires rubbing against the road.

more importantly……

Noticing Fujimaru Ritsuka's gaze, Celty came to the motorcycle, put one hand on the front of the motorcycle, and said embarrassedly:

"Sorry, this is actually transformed by my beloved horse [Khushida Bawa], so..."

As if sensing Celti's thoughts, the motorcycle began to tremble slightly as if it had started up, and then a horse neighing was heard, but it sounded a little sad.

“Hi, hi, hi…!”

'Okay, okay, I'm not saying anything bad about you.'

Seeing Celty hurriedly comforting her beloved horse, Fujimaru Ritsuka rubbed her chin as if thinking about something. After a moment, she smiled and said:

"Miss Celti, why don't I just give you something?"

'Eh? ’

Fujimaru Ritsuka took out a rune stone from [Minister's Treasure] and smiled at Celti:

"Let me demonstrate how to use it first."

'Oh, okay.'

Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, Celti still looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru, waiting for the other party's demonstration.

But after a while, nothing changed.

Just when Celti was feeling a little confused, Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to have something wrong and looked in another place in surprise.

"Wait, that's...?!"

Celti couldn't help but look in the direction the other person was looking, but what came into view was just an ordinary street scene, with nothing to be surprised about.

"Ms. Ritsuka... eh?"

She turned around with some confusion, only to find that the figure of Fujimaru Ritsuka who was originally in front of her had suddenly disappeared!

She looked around quickly, and at this moment, she heard the other party's smiling voice coming from behind her:

"I am here."

Celty turned around, and Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"Well, I just walked past you, didn't you notice?"

'Eh? ’

Hearing Celti's surprised and puzzled tone, Fujimaru Ritsuka handed the rune stone in his hand to her and said with a smile:

"This is the power of this stone."
