Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 179 How Did Police Officer Zhu Fu Die?

"Mr. Kudo, why is Edogawa III's family all Shiba Inu, and his younger brother is a Husky?"

Putting down Yuji's latest manuscript, Ms. Umeko picked up her coffee and tried desperately to suppress her desire to complain.

"I think the Edogawa III family may have husky genes..."

No, no, this is ridiculous, how could readers agree? !

Miss Meizi sighed, and held her forehead: "At least change it to a Shiba Inu-Husky hybrid."

Unexpectedly, Yuji became excited all of a sudden, he slapped the table suddenly, as if seeking approval: "Right, right, I thought so too, but someone said that if I drew like this, he would be beaten to death by the dog mother, really, Isn't it just a cartoon character, how cowardly!"

That person...is Mr. Kudo...

Having worked as the editor in charge of Yuji for five full years, Ms. Umeko, who knows the Kudo family well, of course knows who the prototype of the Kudo family is.

But is Mrs. Kudo such a violent person?

"Teacher, have you ever considered changing this brother into a Shiba Inu?"

Yuji seemed to have heard something outrageous. He stared at Miss Umeko in disbelief, his mouth wide open.

"What are you talking about, Ms. Meizi. Wouldn't changing it to Shiba Inu make it non-discussive?"

The boy grabbed a blank piece of paper, took out a pen from his breast pocket, and began to write and draw on the paper.

"Now everyone knows that Edogawa III is a Shiba Inu. If I introduce his younger brother and it turns out to be a Shiba Inu, it will be meaningless. It's just a new character... just a dog."

Yuji crossed out the Shiba Inu on the paper, and drew a new husky next to the Kudo family...the Edogawa family, and Miss Umeko's eyes were suddenly attracted by the big, wise dog.

"In this case... it's really interesting..."

But readers probably still complain more...

"Okay, then this week's manuscript is decided like this." After confirming that there were no typos, Miss Meizi put the manuscript back into her bag, said hello to Yuji, and went back to the publishing house.

Not long after, three girls two aisles away came over and watched Yuji drink up all the coffee in the cup and slump on a chair in the cafe.

"I said, just go and see that stalker, sister Ming Zi and I will go, why are you following me?"

Putting Akiko in the middle with Yuzuki, and straightening the peaked cap on top of her head, Kaori gave Yuuji a look: "Sister Akiko can go, of course we have to go too!"

In fact, this was a lie. The two girls were not doing it for Akiko, they were just worried that after Yuuji protected Teacher Judy from the stalker, that woman would fall in love with him.

After all, it's not without precedent. The former Miss Tokiwa has been sending a lot of high-end ingredients to Yu Erzhai recently, and she still acted like a baby if she didn't accept her.

Thinking of the tone and attitude of the 36-year-old woman at the door, both Kaori and Yuzuki shuddered involuntarily.

For the first time, I feel that women in their 30s are really scary...

"Okay, I heard that Officer Matsuda took the stalker to the Metropolitan Police Department this morning, and we'll go there too. Just after the interrogation, we can drop by Mr. Amuro for dinner."

Yuji stood up and saw the snow falling outside. He led the three of them in a taxi and left for the Metropolitan Police Department.

.........

"Yuji, Akiko?" Parking the mini patrol car at the gate of the Metropolitan Police Department, Miyamoto Yumi shook the key chain in her hand and saw four people getting off the taxi.

"Should you come to take notes again?"

"Good afternoon, Officer Yumi." After Yuji paid the money, he turned to look at Miyamoto Yumi and stuffed his wallet back into his pocket.

"I assisted Officer Matsuda in catching a stalker, and I'm here today to accompany him for questioning."

The four teenagers and Yumi walked into the Metropolitan Police Department, looking at the empty-handed traffic policeman, Akiko asked, "Has Officer Yumi had lunch?"

"Ah! Not yet..." Yumi Miyamoto scratched her face and laughed sheepishly: "Xiong Ji said he would come to deliver lunch to me today, so I took advantage of the lunch break to return to the Metropolitan Police Department."

After they separated in the corridor, the four of them came to the office of the Search Division [-] and [-]. Seeing Miwako Sato at the door, Yuji asked curiously: "Where is Officer Matsuda?"

"He was in the interrogation room with the stalker."

The young man walked through the office area, briefly shook hands with the familiar police officers, and then looked inside the interrogation room through the single-pane glass.

Across a table, Matsuda Jinpei and Akai Shuichi looked at each other, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

"I've already said that I'm not a stalker anymore."

Randomly took out a cigarette from Matsuda Jinpei's cigarette case on the table, Akai Shuichi held it between his middle finger and index finger, passed the cigarette butt over, and asked the police to light it for him.

Making an expression of approval, Matsuda Jinpei expressed his belief in him.

"So, your fingerprints appeared out of thin air on that tiny camera?"

The latest high-end micro cameras from the United States are not something that ordinary people can get.Although Matsuda Jinpei did not believe that this man was a stalker, he would not let him go casually.

Trapped him with the charge of being a stalker, and then asked Zero to investigate, which is exactly what he did...

Akai Shuichi closed his mouth, thinking of ways to justify himself.

The camera in Judy’s hand was brought by him and James from the United States before, and each of them had to be reconfirmed by them. In order to ensure the shooting angle, he installed it himself, and of course there would be fingerprints.

There was a knock on the door from outside, and turning to look at Miwako Sato who pushed the door in, Matsuda Jinpei's serious face just now softened a little.

"what happened?"

"Everyone is here except the English teacher."

Sato Miwako opened her body so that Yuji, who was holding a blue and white bowl covered with a bowl lid, could walk in directly.

Smelling the smell of smoke in the air, the teenager hurriedly put the bowl on the table, and desperately waved the air in front of his nose with his hands.

He caught a glimpse of the exhaust fan installed on the wall, turned it on and sat next to Matsuda Jinpei, waved his hand for Officer Sato to close the door, and lifted the bowl cover in front of the two of them.

"It's so delicious... Sure enough, I want to eat pork chop rice here, and the taste is much better than eating in other places."

Picking up a piece of fried pork cutlet covered in mayonnaise with chopsticks, Yuji brought it to Matsuda Jinpei's mouth and watched him eat it.

"Officer Matsuda, is there a recording here or a sound transmission machine connected to the outside?"

The boy took another piece and gnawed on himself, and found that Akai Shuichi's expression was still so calm, and brought the pork chop rice to him again.

"Yes, do you want to turn it off?" Holding his chest, Matsuda Jinhei waved his hand at a mirror, and then leaned on the chair.

"Tell me, do you know this guy?"

Taking out a can of coffee from his pocket, the boy pulled the tab and took a sip. He also imitated Matsuda Jinpei and leaned on the chair. His expression suddenly became calm, which made Matsuda Jinpei feel a little strange.

The curly-haired policeman was about to ask a question, but his eyes widened when he heard Yuji's question, and he stood up abruptly.

"Shuichi Akai, what happened the night Police Officer Mobuku died..."
