Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

A short while later, Inspector Megure, an old acquaintance, arrived with the police. Although he saw both Fujimaru Ritsuka and the Mori family at the same time, he was already somewhat numb and didn't say much.

Maybe they're just too lazy to say it.

Nevertheless, Fujimaru Ritsuka still felt wronged.

This really has nothing to do with her; it's clearly Conan's fault!

Upon seeing the police arrive, the perpetrator quickly confessed to the crime. It was a simple case of a crime of passion, and the victim was the perpetrator's girlfriend. He had impulsively committed the crime after discovering her infidelity.

Then, as everyone watched the prisoner being put into the police car, what caught people's attention was that there was not only the prisoner they had caught in the back seat of the police car, but also another person wearing handcuffs.

It seems that Inspector Megure just rushed over from another case and didn't even have time to return to the police station. He is truly admirable.

Mashu finally understood why Fujimaru Ritsuka had said "Welcome to Beika Town" to her earlier.

Chapter 205. Arriving at the bar, a classic riddle.

205.

2023-12-30

After the incident, they parted ways with Conan and the other two.

Since it was still quite some time before evening, they didn't rush back after finishing their shopping. After packing all the bags and packages into the "Chen's Treasure Vault," they began to think about where to go next.

"correct!"

At that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly remembered something and said:

"Speaking of which, Professor, your bar should be finished by now, right?"

"of course."

Moriarty's voice came out of nowhere beside them, and he laughed:

"Not only is it completed, but it has also been operating for some time now. Would you like to take a visit?"

"I would love for you to come and visit."

Upon hearing his words, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu exchanged a glance and quickly made a decision.

"Then let's go take a look."

"Hehe, it's an honor."

As soon as he finished speaking, Moriarty appeared out of thin air in front of them while no one was paying attention, and chuckled:

"Then, please let me lead the way for you."

Moriarty's bar was located on a commercial street next to the Eiffel Tower in Tokyo, some distance from where they were. So they took a taxi to the commercial street, and after walking a short distance, Moriarty suddenly stopped and said:

"Here we are."

arrive?

Upon arriving at this location, the first floor is filled with designer clothing stores, trendy toy stores, jewelry stores, upscale shopping malls, and more. It is only on the second floor, indoors, that you'll find a variety of interesting shops.

Following the rows of billboards outside the building, they quickly spotted a high-end bar located on the top floor of the building.

"It's located on the very top floor! That's incredibly luxurious!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed, but Moriarty just smiled, shook his head, and pointed to the other side, saying:

"No, my bar is over there."

The two looked in that direction but found nothing. As they approached with puzzlement, they discovered a very well-hidden entrance leading underground. At the end of the entrance was a bar called "Sanwu".

"Who could possibly find this?"

She couldn't help but complain. If she hadn't detected no magical fluctuations, she would have really thought that this place was under a concealment spell, deliberately preventing ordinary people from entering.

Both the person who designed it and Moriarty, who found it to be his shop, were quite remarkable in a sense.

"A tranquil spot hidden amidst the hustle and bustle—that's my concept for a bar. Pretty good, right?"

Moriarty chuckled as he explained his business philosophy, and looking at the bar's name, Mashu asked with some curiosity:

"Professor, why did you name the bar 'Sanwu'?"

"You can try to guess first."

Moriarty didn't answer immediately, but instead led them to the bar entrance. Pushing open the door, the dim lighting seemed to transport them to a completely different world.

There were no customers in the bar at this time. Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu curiously looked around the bar, but as novices in the world of bars, they could only comment that the decor was 'not bad'.

Just then, a blond man dressed as a waiter suddenly walked out from behind the bar.

The moment she saw him, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly felt it was time to send Moriarty back.

Upon seeing the two adorable and uniquely beautiful girls accompanying Moriarty, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, but he quickly recovered and greeted Moriarty with a smile:

"Store manager."

"Amuro-kun."

Moriarty introduced the two parties with a smile:

"This is Amuro Tooru, Amuro-kun. He is a waiter I hired. He has a good personality and ability. Although he hasn't been working for me for very long, he is already my capable assistant."

"This is my lady, Fujimaru Ritsuka, and Mash Kyrielight."

Mashu greeted the other person politely:

"Hello, Mr. Amuro, you can just call me Mashu."

Despite having many thoughts in her mind, Fujimaru Ritsuka outwardly remained calm and continued speaking:

"Me too, you can just call me Ritsuka."

“Okay. It’s nice to meet you, Ms. Mashu, Ms. Ritsuka.”

Amuro Tooru smiled and nodded in greeting, appearing very courteous.

Then, scratching his head, he asked with a curious smile:

"According to what the store manager just said, are you two my real bosses?"

After all, Moriarty referred to the two as his young ladies, which simply means they were his superiors, right?

"No, I didn't, that's what you said, senior."

Mashu shook her head, then subconsciously glanced at Fujimaru Ritsuka beside her. Fujimaru Ritsuka also shook her head and said:

"This bar belongs entirely to the professor and has nothing to do with us."

Moriarty, standing to the side, teased:

"A beautiful young female boss is indeed something to aspire to, I understand. But unfortunately, the reality is that your boss is just a fashionable old man, so please accept your fate, Amuro-kun."

"Haha, that's not what I meant."

Amuro Tooru scratched his head, chuckled awkwardly, and waved his hand, quickly denying Moriarty's slander against him.

Fujimaru Ritsuka asked Moriarty:

Are the only two people working at the bar?

"Yes."

Moriarty nodded, then said:

“Actually, I’ve been considering increasing staff recently.”

Since there weren't many customers at the bar, when Fujimaru Ritsuka wasn't around, he could devote most of his time and energy to the bar, and it wouldn't have been a problem for him to run the bar by himself.

But now that Fujimaru Ritsuka is back, he naturally has to prioritize Fujimaru Ritsuka's affairs, and he'll only run the bar when he's not busy.

In that case, we won't have enough manpower.

However, that's something that needs to be dealt with later; for now...

Moriarty laughed:

"Alright, before we continue our casual conversation, let's sit down and talk first."

So Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu sat down at the bar. Since they were at a bar, they naturally had to have some drinks.

Of course, it's a non-alcoholic cocktail.

While drinking "alcohol," the group chatted again, and soon the topic turned to the name of the bar. Surprisingly, even Amuro Tooru, a staff member, didn't know the origin of the bar's name.

“I asked the store manager this question before, but he just told me to guess and then nothing more.”

Amuro Tooru said helplessly:

"Since it uses a number as its signboard, it will generally make people feel that it is a number with special meaning, or that it has some special significance for the store manager."

At this point, Mashu added:

"It could also be a combination of several numbers, rather than a single number."

"You're right."

Amuro Tooru nodded in agreement, then helplessly shrugged and said:

"But the clues the shop manager provided were far too few. Even the most skilled detective couldn't deduce the truth with so few clues."

Moriarty raised an eyebrow and said:

"Is that so? But I think I've given enough hints."

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked curiously:

So what's the hint?

Mashu looked over curiously, and Moriarty replied with a smile:

The hint is: My three favorite numbers.

".ah!"

After receiving the hint, Fujimaru Ritsuka only thought for a moment before showing an expression of sudden realization, and then Mashu quickly figured out the answer.

Amuro Tooru, seeing this, asked:
