Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 223 The Vinegar King Arrives
The school bell rang, and following Xiaolan, Machiko walked towards the school gate with her hands behind her back.

"Who is that person?"

Following the direction of Sonoko's finger, Machiko saw a man holding a bamboo knife in front of the Kendo Club.

"Is it someone I haven't seen before, the new consultant of the Kendo Club?"

With her eyes on the bamboo sword, Machiko poked Xiaolan curiously: "Isn't the Kendo Club of Didan High School very famous?"

Indeed, compared with the outstanding members of the Karate Club such as Tsukamoto Sumi and Maori Ran, the performance of the Kendo Club is much lower.

"The Suzuki consortium also recently bought an airship manufacturing company. Is there any new project?" Ticking her fingers, Machiko suddenly remembered what was broadcast on the news in the morning.

"That..." Yuanzi took out his mobile phone from his pocket and sent a text message.

"Actually, Karasuma Heavy Industries of the Karasuma Consortium is taking the lead, and plans to join the consortium to develop Japanese passenger aircraft. I heard that the government's funding amount is as high as one trillion yen, so my father bought an airship manufacturing company and planned to research related things first. "

The Karasuma Foundation, I haven't heard much from her teacher, so I'll go to the apartment some other day to have a look.

Walking out of the school gate, before Sonoko and Machiko set up Xiaolan on the left and right, they were startled by a voice.

"What are you doing?"

Looking at the vigilant Conan, Machiko grabbed Xiaolan by the corner of her clothes, hid behind her, and asked suspiciously with the unicorn girl, "Why are you here?"

Didn't my elder brother usually walk home with those children after school? Why did you come to school today?

"How strange? I obviously sent the love letter from Xiaolan to Shinichi, so why did you, a little devil, come here?" Sonoko bent down with her arms crossed, staring helplessly at Conan, who was flirting with her.

It turns out that this is the case, it was you who brought the God of Death!

"Brother Shinichi sent me a message saying, let me accompany sister Xiaolan." Conan walked to Xiaolan's side, used his schoolbag to push away Machiko's hand holding Xiaolan's clothes, and then naturally took his girlfriend.

Why did Machiko Kurosawa come to Xiaolan's side again?
"Let's go home, Sister Xiaolan, Sister Kurosawa and Sister Sonoko go home quickly."

You didn't mention the love letter at all...

"Wait! Since someone wants to confess to Xiaolan, why don't we go?"

Sonoko punched Conan on the head, and then slapped the two holding hands.

Really, Xiaolan was too careless.Conan is already seven years old, why do you still allow him to act coquettishly? His husband is obviously very jealous...

"Sister Xiaolan already has a new brother, so there's no need to go." Conan covered his aching little hand, and squinted at Yuanzi.

This woman sent this message just to see her jealous. Damn it...

"But, but I think Machiko is right. No matter what, you have to reply seriously."

Xiaolan turned her head to look at Machiko, and the orange aura that could hardly be concealed slowly radiated from her.

Finally realizing something was wrong, Yuuji didn't show it on his face, but he was typing text messages behind his back.

Knowing that Miss Chris had forcibly kissed Xiaolan before, the boy specially invited his godmother to the coffee shop to scold her for a while. It was not until Belmode kept swearing that he would never do it again that he relaxed a lot.

Don't really bend Xiaolan...

[After Miss Chris’s incident, she probably didn’t attack Miss Xiaolan again, right? 】

After the three people's attention was no longer on him, Yuuji glanced at his phone quietly, recalling the way Xiaolan looked at him out of the corner of his eye.

【………No ah? 】

Really, I don't believe it.

.........

Walking on the way from school, crossing a small road, the four of them suddenly saw Miwako Sato talking with a mother who was pulling her child.

"What happened, Officer Sato?" Sonoko put her bag behind her head and walked over with Xiaolan.

"It's Xiaolan and you guys, have you just finished school?" Officer Sato put away a pamphlet and pointed to the lady next to him distressedly.

"This lady's house seems to have been broken into. After calling the police, Officer Mu Mu sent me to take a look."

"But if you just break into the empty door, you don't need Officer Sato to come over, right?" Conan frowned as he looked at the frightened and nervous mother and daughter.

Could it be some kind of violence...

"It's just that the lady was worried that the intruder would do harm to her, so I came."

Officer Sato waved his hand after seeing his wife returning the child to the house: "Ah, don't worry, they have very powerful detectives at home. This girl is the daughter of the famous detective Mouri Kogoro."

Upon hearing this, the lady's nervousness immediately disappeared. She seemed to trust Uncle Maori more than the police.

"So you are the daughter of senior Maori." Madam bent down and saluted the four of them.

"My older sister was in the same class as Maori Senpai when she was in the first grade."

She happily stared at the Didan school uniforms worn by the girls, seeming to miss them very much.

"I used to be a student at Didan High School."

Inviting a few people into the living room, and after serving tea, the wife noticed that Xiaolan and others were focused on the photo of her husband's death, and explained lonelyly.

"He was my husband. He passed away a year ago. He died of illness. We spent a lot of money, but he still couldn't be cured."

Machiko glanced at the black tea on the table, held it in his hand and drank a little, then remembered what Police Officer Sato said just now about breaking into the empty door, so he asked, "How do you know someone broke into the empty door?"

Putting down the teacup in her hand, the wife took out her mobile phone from her pocket and adjusted her schedule.

"At about three o'clock, I took Yuta out and played outside for two hours. In the end, I forgot to lock the door and the French windows of the living room. When I came back, there was an extra [-] yen in the drawer, and the diary on the table was also empty. been flipped."

Someone broke into the empty door, and ended up giving money?
Officer Sato came to the drawer that his wife mentioned, she opened it, took out an envelope from inside, and looked at the ten Fukuzawa Yukichi with a embarrassed expression.

If the lost money can still be reported, but if it is not lost but more money is lost, the Metropolitan Police Department will not take it seriously at all.

"Could it be that your sister came here, but found that you were not there, and suddenly saw the unlocked French window, so she put the money in the drawer?"

Yuanzi held his chin, and exchanged glances with Xiaolan: "My older sister also gives me pocket money from time to time."

Your pocket money is probably not the same as other people's pocket money...

The boy who wanted to complain about it remembered the large check his parents threw to him before they left, but gave up the idea of ​​complaining.

"It's not my sister. She's been very busy recently, so she called me in the afternoon and said it wasn't her."

The wife lowered her head in embarrassment: "Because of my husband's health, my sister was very opposed to me marrying him at the beginning, so the relationship between the two of us was very bad. Even when my husband was buried, my sister didn't come over."

so...

Everyone looked at the small incense burner in front of the photo. It was obviously the new incense that was put on this afternoon.

If the relationship is very bad, it is indeed impossible to offer incense to him when no one is around.
