Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Coffee Shop Murder Case (2)

The yelling was like an alarm that woke Conan up who was sleeping. But something more remarkable also happening, it turns out that it wasn't just Conan who went running towards the toilet, Juzo Tonoyoma who just came out of the toilet also headed back there.

When Juzo ran past Shikamaru, Shikamaru's finger correspondingly moved towards the soul fragment attached to Juzo Tonoyama's body so that the soul fragment dashed towards Shikamaru.

Despite the soul fragment that dashed towards Shikamaru and turned into a soul stone that shone brightly, the cafe customers kept their eyes on the toilet.

Seeing this, Shikamaru felt happy, it seemed that ordinary people in this world couldn't see a person's hostile soul pieces and soul stones.

The soul stone is the physical form of the soul fragment that will arise if Shikamaru tries to capture the hostile soul fragment, which will later have a very useful function. One of the benefits that can be felt immediately if you trying to absorb the soul stone is the increase in Chakra.

Shikamaru now has very little chakra. even if he wanted to use a clone Jutsu he couldn't do it. even though that Jutsu is the most basic Jutsu that every ninja can use. Actually, Konoha's Ninja Academy prevents students from graduating unless they master this Jutsu.

Hearing this scream, the Miyano sisters looked towards the toilet and fell silent.

After all, the two of them are still members of the black organization. And the murders that are happening right now really dishearten them. Because this is a sign that the police will come to this cafe!

"Call the police now! There's a Neesan, who just got killed!" Conan said as he ran out of the toilet and said to the waiter at the bar.

The waiter looked very inexperienced with this kind of incident because she seemed to be frozen in place. After hearing Conan's words, the waiter quickly went to get the phone at the bar and immediately called the Tokyo Criminal Investigation Police (Criminal Investigator).

Seeing the panicked expressions on the faces of the two Miyano sisters when they heard the words "police" made Shikamaru speechless, not knowing what else to say. It was clear that the Miyano sisters' background created by the black organization was as ordinary people without any criminal history.

So what makes them look so terrified as if they were the murderer?!

After all, isn't Shiho Miyano a top-class researcher from a black organization?! isn't she a code-name member?! Why does she have such a weak mentality?!

Shikamaru can only shake his head at the Miyano sisters. Which implied that things were fine, then Shikamaru went to a corner of the room in the cafe where no one was looking and called Gin.

"What is it?" Gin's cold voice came from the phone, and his tone was like that of a very cruel villain.

"An unexpected thing happened at the cafe, I guess we can only meet later" said Shikamaru without mentioning any words like "Mission" at all.

Because Conan aka Kudo Shinichi is still around, it never hurts to stay alert. Because Shikamaru knew how strong Shinichi's instincts were based on the memory he had.

Hearing Shikamaru's words, Gin who was on the other side of the phone was silent.

"There was a murder case?" said Gin.

"...Yes" Shikamaru answered after a moment of silence.

Gin who heard the answer felt very suffocated.

Shikamaru is one of many members of no-name whom Gin values very much, with excellent training results and mission completion percentages which are very satisfactory even though he is a little lazy sometimes.

And most importantly Shikamaru is not an UNDERCOVER!

But there is one fact that makes Shikamaru still doesn't have a code name, is because of his mystical physique that can always be involved in murder cases at any time!

Initially, Shikamaru was always guessed of being a criminal suspect by police investigators, so many times Gin had thought of killing him.

But luckily, Shikamaru then make a clever move and always took his detective friend with him wherever he went. And since then he was never again suspected by investigators.

Now, whenever investigators from the Tokyo Police see Shikamaru at the Crime Scene they just act like it's normal and feels normal to see him there.

Since Shikamaru hasn't been seen in a murder cases crime scene lately, Gin had thought about giving Shikamaru a test to get a code name.

Who would have thought that Shikamaru will be involved in a murder case today?

"Where is the detective friend who is always standing near you?" asked Gin.

"I don't know, it seems I haven't seen him for a long time and he hasn't sent any news lately" Shikamaru answered quietly about Shinichi Kudo. He didn't want Kudo's miraculous condition to be known by Gin.

Because even though Shikamaru is a ninja with a questionable moral compass. He is still a ninja from Konoha who genuinely cherishes ​​his friends.

Especially if you have friends like naruto. You will definitely be infected with his very strong fellowship spirit. Indeed sometimes it is very troublesome, but you will also undoubtedly feel safe and secure if you have a friend like that.

Although Shikamaru can't be the best friend ever, he can be helpful and guard his friends from any harm that may befall them.

Of course, if that danger came from Ran then that was another matter and he also couldn't interfere much with it. at most, it can only be called domestic violence. Now that remembering about his friend Shinichi Kudo's situation he can only sigh.

"How troublesome"

"What?" said gin in that ice-cold voice.

Shikamaru forgot he was talking to his boss. He could only find excuses now. Although right now he was in dire need of money, he actually preferred to just look at the clouds in the sky. When will the time when he can laze around all day come?

"It's nothing really. It's just that I hope after this work is finished. You don't give me a new job" said Shikamaru in a lazy tone. Talking with Gin made really drained all his energy.

"Huh, if you can leave the cafe, after that I won't give you a new job" said Gin as he turned off the phone.
