Hodaka Morishima's answer surprised everyone, and then Hina Amano angrily rebuked him:

"What if you point that thing at someone and kill them?!"

"Unbelievable, disgusting, awful!"

"I……!"

Hodaka Morishima was speechless. Recalling the scene of the shooting, he realized that he had almost killed someone and began to feel fear. His hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

After all, he was just a sixteen-year-old boy. The most outrageous thing he had ever done was run away from home. How could he possibly know how to handle a problem of this magnitude?

So, looking at the pistol in his hand, he gritted his teeth, trembling as he raised his hand to throw it away, as if that would erase everything that had just happened.

But at that moment, Ai Haibara frowned and immediately stopped her sternly:

"do not move!"

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this, Hodaka Morishima stood there, somewhat bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka kindly reminded her:

"If you fall like that, it might accidentally go off?"

Morishima Hodaka's heart tightened, and he quickly put the pistol back and hugged it tightly to his chest, but he dared not move, for fear of accidentally firing it.

He asked in a flustered and helpless manner:

"What should I do now?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka had no choice but to continue answering:

"First, remove the magazine, then eject the spent cartridges to complete the ejection process, and then..."

But Hodaka Morishima, on the verge of tears, said:

"What should I do? I don't know how!"

"Forehead……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head in exasperation.

Now she was certain that the gun had indeed been found by the other party, and not only that, the other party was a complete novice when it came to firearms.

She also wondered if he would keep the gun cocked and carry it around everywhere after finding it.

If so, then you're really lucky to be alive.

Thinking this to herself, but seeing Hodaka Morishima's flustered state, she hesitated for a moment, then decided to approach him and extend her hand with a smile:

"Then give me the gun for now."

"Oh no……"

Although Hodaka Morishima was somewhat confused about the current situation, seeing the smile on Ritsuka Fujimaru's face, he unconsciously felt a little more at ease and obediently handed over the pistol.

Fujimaru Ritsuka skillfully removed the magazine, ejected the chamber, and took out the bullet; she understood these basic skills.

There are a total of 7 bullets remaining, while the PM pistol has a magazine capacity of 8 rounds, meaning this is still a pistol with a full magazine.

"Here, these are for you."

She handed the bullet back to Hodaka Morishima, who instinctively caught it and stared blankly at the bullet in his hand.

Why are you giving me the bullets?

On the other side, ignoring the bewildered look on Hodaka Morishima's face, Ritsuka Fujimaru began to examine the pistol in her hand.

However, she didn't know much about firearms. After observing for a while, she casually turned to Ai Haibara and asked:

"Ai, do you know what kind of gun this is?"

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara stepped forward and, after clearly seeing the gun, immediately stated with certainty:

"This is a Makarov pistol."

The Makarov pistol, also known as the PM pistol, was developed by the former Soviet Union and was once selected as the standard-issue pistol by the military. Later, it was also widely used by the police.

Although the decision was made to withdraw this pistol in the early 21st century, it is still widely used today due to the large number of pistols in stock.

In addition, the Makarov pistol is one of the most commonly used pistols by some criminal organizations, irregular armed groups and terrorist organizations.

"I see."

After listening to Ai Haibara's explanation, Ritsuka Fujimaru seemed to be deep in thought.

For some reason, she suddenly thought of the gun smuggling case Moriarty had mentioned that morning, saying that although the police had seized the guns, Moriarty said it wasn't over yet...

Could this gun be related to a gun smuggling case?

On the other side, watching Fujimaru Ritsuka skillfully handle the pistol, and even the six or seven-year-old Haibara Ai beside her seemed quite familiar with it, Morishima Hodaka hesitated before speaking:

"Um, Ritsuka-san..."

"what!"

Who exactly are you people?

He had intended to ask that, but Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to misunderstand him after hearing his voice, and suddenly handed the pistol back to him, laughing:

"Here you go, it's safer this way."

"..."

Looking at the pistol and bullets in his hand, Hodaka Morishima fell silent and began to question the meaning of life.

No, this isn't a question of safety at all!

This is a real gun!

Why are you all so calm?!

Unfortunately, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't read people's minds. After returning the pistol to Morishima Hodaka, she looked at Amano Hina and asked:

"Yin Cai, what happened just now? Was that blond guy bothering you again?"

Hina Amano had gradually calmed down by this point. Although Ritsuka Fujimaru's behavior was somewhat concerning, she ultimately chose to trust him after their chance encounter the day before.

When the topic came up, her tone became somewhat somber, and she shook her head, saying:

"No, I was the one who approached them."

"Eh?"

Hodaka Morishima looked at her in disbelief, while Hina Amano continued, her head slightly lowered:

“I was laid off from my part-time job.”

At that moment, Hodaka Morishima, seemingly struck by a sudden thought, said with deep remorse:

"Because of me?"

"It's not because of that."

Seeing his expression, Tano Hina finally smiled slightly, waved her hand, and quickly suppressed her smile as she talked about what was to come.

"Anyway, I desperately need a job to earn money right now. There's no other way; only that guy can give me one, so..."

As for what happened next, Hodaka Morishima happened to witness this scene and thought that Hina Amano was being forced by the other party, so he first tried to help her escape. After being caught by the blond-haired man, he pinned her to the ground and beat and scolded her, which made him unable to resist taking out his gun.

Then, what Fujimaru Ritsuka and the other two saw was the scene they witnessed.

"..."

A silence fell over the room. Although Hina Amano did not explain the specific reason, everyone could hear the helplessness in her words.

She claimed that she took the initiative to approach the other party, but in reality, she had no other choice but to choose him.

After hearing about Amano Hina's plight, Morishima Hodaka clenched his fists. He wanted to do something to help her, but his own situation wasn't much better than hers, so even if he wanted to, he couldn't do anything.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Fujimaru Ritsuka rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought.

Their purpose in coming here was to ask for the help of Amano Hina, the true weather shrine maiden, but judging from Amano Hina's current condition, it doesn't seem to be the time to discuss such matters.

However, it seems that Amano Hina's problem is due to a lack of money for some reason, which is easy for her to solve.

Then Fujimaru Ritsuka laughed and said:

"Although it may be presumptuous of you, could you please tell us what the problem is?"

Come spicy!

Chapter 342 Conan: Can we talk?

"If it's a funding issue, I can offer some assistance."

"Eh?"

Upon hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's words, Amano Hina paused for a moment, while Morishima Hodaka's eyes lit up immediately.

He had interviewed Fujimaru Ritsuka and others at their agencies, so he knew that Fujimaru Ritsuka was a wealthy young lady and that if Amano Hina's problem was simply a lack of money, she would definitely be able to help.

However, he couldn't say these things outright, so he began to subtly signal to Hina Amano with his eyes.

Unfortunately, Hina Amano couldn't understand the look he was giving her. She just gave him a strange look, her expression hesitant, and asked cautiously:

"Ritsuka, who exactly are you people?"

Although she had an initial good impression of Fujimaru Ritsuka and the other two because of yesterday's experience, she also noticed that Fujimaru Ritsuka had skillfully disassembled the gun, and that Ai Haibara seemed to have a great understanding of firearms.

Although she is currently in dire need of money, she is not prepared to risk her life to earn it, because she has family members who need her care.

"Well..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka noticed her hesitation, so she took out a business card from her agency and introduced herself again with a smile:

"I am the president of the Chaldea Mystic Affairs Agency, and I am mainly responsible for handling issues related to the mystical realm."

"Chaldea Mystery Agency?"

Amano Hina took the business card with some skepticism, looking at the words on it uncertainly, and said:

"Really? Are there really agencies like that?"
