Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 188

"There was no murder!"

Ayumi shook off Conan's hand and leaned against Xiao Ai: "Dad said that doll must have been cursed, so since then, he has sealed up all the dolls in the house."

But...I can't say that this father did anything wrong...

Yuuji nodded, and found that there were tears in the corners of Ayumi's eyes, poked Kaori and Yuzuki, and asked them to comfort Ayumi.

Before the girls could speak, Ayumi's cell phone rang. In the eyes of everyone, her expression changed from aggrieved, to surprised, and finally to joy.

"My dad said that Pippi's mother gave me a set of Daughter's Day dolls that they no longer use. They have seven layers!"

"Seventh...seventh floor?!" This time, not only the children, but even Yuu and the others were shocked.

Doll's Day is a traditional Japanese festival on March 3 every year, also known as "Shangsi" or "Peach Festival". It is a festival to pray for girls' healthy growth and happiness.

The dolls used as Doll's Day decorations are not only a set of toys, but also become part of the dowry when a girl gets married.

In other words, Dolls for Girls' Day represent the face of a family. If you don't have daughters like the Kudo family, you don't have to buy them, but generally families with daughters will definitely have them.

Even when Xiaolan was in third grade and Mouri's family was not wealthy, Feiyingli and Mouri Kogoro followed the advice of their elders and spent 45 yen to order a set of five-story Dolls for Women's Day.

The seven-story Doll's Day doll has to be the kind that is given away. Even if it is second-hand, as long as it does not suffer as frequently as Ayumi, it will cost at least 60 million yen...

"Ayumi!"

Yuji pushed Genta and Mitsuhiko away, squatted down in front of Ayumi in front of other people, and put his hands on her shoulders.

Eh? !Brother Yuer, what are you doing?Could it be that...you want to confess your feelings to me?

The girl glanced at Conan, then stared at Yuji's handsome face hesitantly.

Should I agree...

"Ayumi!" Yuji coughed and asked seriously: "Your neighbors, do they still need neighbors?"

.........

"It's outrageous. I thought you would say something shocking."

After they separated at the intersection, Yuzuki and Kaori also went home first, Yuji followed Conan and Xiao Ai towards Agasa's house.

"No matter how outrageous it was, you didn't rush up to ask if the murder was outrageous, right?"

The young man squeezed in between the two of them, and after a fight, he took hold of the reluctant Conan and Xiao Ai.

"By the way, what happened to you that day?"

Looking at the pigeons and crows flying in the sky, Yuuji squeezed their hands and ignored the somewhat ashamed elementary school students in the snickering eyes of passers-by.

"Although we were captured by Kurosawa Machiko and Belmode, they didn't kill us, and they didn't take Haibara away. I can't figure it out, so I can only take a step forward."

There was a bit of murderous intent in Conan's expression, which made Yuji tremble in excitement.

"Later, Ran said that Machiko Kurosawa went to Mori's house early in the morning and told her that he had broken up with Mr. Amuro."

Ah, I know that, Miss Chrissy told us.

"He even kissed her forcefully! And twice!"

Um? !This Miss Chris didn’t say anything!
Yuji quickly shook off Conan's hand and stared at him in disbelief: "Kurosawa Machiko?! Forcibly kissed Miss Ran?"

"Yeah!" Nodding vigorously, Conan clenched his fists and kept beating the air in front of him: "Bastard! I only kissed twice!"

No, no, no, that's your problem...

Yuji covered his eyes with his left hand and sighed.

what happened?Isn't Miss Chrissy's feeling for Xiaolan a mother's feeling for her daughter?why now...

As if thinking of something, he suddenly stirred and raised his head to look ahead.

Could it be that Miss Chris treats me too...

The beeping sound of the phone came from his pocket. Avoiding Conan and Xiao Ai, Yuji stared at Miss Chris's note, pressed answer and put it to his ear.

"I have no intentions towards you, you are just my son!"

Eh? !Does Belmod have the ability to read minds?When did this happen?
"I don't have the ability to read minds. I just casually guessed what you were thinking."

"So you put a wiretap on me, right?" Yuji patted his clothes and pulled out a thumb-sized sticker from the compartment in his pocket.

"When did it start?"

"That was the time before."

The boy's face turned green, and he looked at the sky in despair. Pigeons and crows flew by again, just like before.

"Then these few nights..."

There was some silence on the other end of the phone, and it wasn't until a minute later that Belmode's voice came again.

"You still have to be more moderate. Once every two days is a bit too much."

Do not! ! !
.........

"Yuji, you're back!"

Looking at the young man who opened the door and walked in, Akiko noticed his seemingly gray color scheme as soon as he came to the entrance.

"what happened?"

Carefully taking off the boy's jacket, seeing Yuzuki and Kaori coming down the stairs, Akiko pointed at the boy and made a question mark.

Opening their hands, the girls said they were not clear, and the three of them took Yuji to the attic of the house.

"What... what's wrong here?"

Looking at the attic that he had specially spent money to renovate, the young man's eyes stopped at the seven-story Girl's Day doll on the wall, and he squinted and moved closer.

"This? Where are you from?"

Sitting on the sofa specially made by Yuji for the loft, Kaori raised her index finger and pointed at her mobile phone.

"It was Yuji's mother who called and said that she could show us her Girl's Day doll."

Mom's?Haven't you seen her show off before?With her personality, there was no way she and Shinichi had never seen something like this.

"Could it be that I secretly decided to do it, lying to myself that I'm still a girl?"

Yuji sat cross-legged on the ground and picked up a right minister doll without noticing that the faces of the three girls were quite pale.

Mingzi raised the phone with trembling hands, slowly put it to his ear, and asked carefully, "Auntie?"

"Anyway, I am the aunt who deceives myself every day. Tell Yuji that he is dead..."

The beep of the phone rang from the phone, and under the sympathetic gazes of the three girls, Yuji put the doll of the right minister back to the position just now, and staggered towards the stairs.

"I want to sleep…"

Escaping reality? !

Watching the boy leave the attic, Akiko stuffed her cell phone back into her pocket, held her chin and sat in front of the table with Dolls' Day dolls.

"This is really beautiful. By the way, Kaori and Yuzuki should also have dolls like this, right?"

"Yes, Kaori and I had ours customized at the same store." Yuzuki took out three cans of coffee from the refrigerator in the attic and gave them to Kaori and Akiko, and used her fingernails to open the tabs on them.

"They are all fifth-level high-end dolls, not as big as Yuji's mother's set."

Kaori also took a sip of coffee, picked up the top Queen doll, rubbed the fabric on it, put it back, picked up the Emperor doll on the other side, and compared it with the one she had with Yuzuki.

This set... looks like it costs over a million yen...
